Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 681: A Heart That Deserves Punishment


The other team members didn't know about the fake tokens being made, so they couldn't react quickly to understand what it meant when all the tokens were thrown to others, but Wu Jinliang knew, and immediately realized Chun Tian was redirecting the disaster.

Because as long as the owner of the Centurion Token is not dead, the light point of the token on the Mountain River Map will not disappear. If the owner is alive and wants the light point to disappear, the token must be forcibly destroyed.

Now the pursuers have basically locked onto the light point of the Centurion Token on the Mountain River Map. The recipient who took the token can imagine what the outcome will be.

Naturally, one should quickly remove the Battle Armor and flee far away, if you don't shake off the pursuers and escape now, when will it happen?

The Mingshan Sect group, although unable to understand the situation, had basically participated in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference and the Divine Fire Covenant. They all knew there was no need to ask questions now, just quickly follow the Master, and as long as they can still run with the Master, there shouldn't be a significant problem.

They all suffered in the past when the Master left with all the Insect Extreme Crystals first, making everyone feel like dying later.

Feng Chi didn't have such deep experiences, only felt like they were constantly fleeing.

Of course, she also followed without question.

Only the outsider, Chai Wenwu, Old Chai, muddled along running around, neither understanding the situation, his heart growing more anxious the more he ran. He saw others running fiercely without stopping, so he followed the crowd.

If he had known how dangerous the situation was earlier, he would have flown slower and fallen behind the fleeing team to avoid danger.

Now he wondered, since the token had already been thrown away, why still take off the Battle Armor? The Battle of Great Pardon generally focuses on tokens; without a token, no one would waste energy chasing you endlessly. This Battle Armor has considerable protective ability when in danger.

Moreover, did they really throw away their team's Centurion Token?

The Battle of Great Pardon has rules; it's a strategic way for each team to prevent their own token from being easily seized by opponents, making each token's owner desperately protect the token, unless the owner dies in battle or is severely injured leading to token ownership change, otherwise, the original owner cannot easily discard the token, else after the battle, it would be considered aiding the enemy, and they would face execution.

The purpose of such severe punishment is to prevent anyone from easily abandoning the token when encountering danger.

Therefore, normally, the original owner dies before the token changes hands; situations where the token owner is severely injured but not killed are rare.

The reason is simple: if the owner is not dead, the light point of the token on the Mountain River Map remains there, and there's no way to hide it. Anyone carrying a pile of brightly shining tokens is asking for trouble.

In the Mirror Image, seeing Shi Chun's group follow orders entering into a canyon and flying out, the Heavenly Court Team Commander, Manxi, immediately knew the task was completed. He showed a relieved expression, and his emotion led him to clench his fists tightly, looking at Shi Chun with heavy eyes.

He clearly understood what issuing this order meant, it was asking Shi Chun and the others to lure the enemy, asking them to risk their lives in sacrifice, and he believed Shi Chun understood this too, yet Shi Chun still executed decisively.

As a commander, he liked subordinates who executed orders resolutely, especially those who were capable, therefore he was reluctant to issue such orders.

But reality is harsh; at the start of the Battle of Great Pardon, troops were yet to spread across the Demon Realm comprehensively. The beginning of mutual attacks was indeed the time of the most concentrated chaotic conflict, in such a short period, he roughly estimated his losses to be about one-tenth, with over three hundred tokens having lost contact.

Although other teams might not fare better, he still felt deeply concerned, worried about the future, and no one wanted to return with the stigma of being a defeated general.

Facing the loss of these dozen tokens, how could he sit idly by? If they can be preserved, they must be.

Anyway, Shi Chun and the group were already marked for death, already being pursued, with or without tokens they would be chased down, as the commander, he naturally must make the cruel but correct decision.

However, this achievement he wouldn't forget, he turned back to Mulan Jin and transmitted: "Regardless of whether he can escape, I'll make sure this achievement is recorded well in the achievement log."

Mulan Jin regarded it with indifference, knowing well in heart that no matter how great the merit, they need to be alive to receive rewards when the time comes for recognition and rewards.

His gaze soon fixed again on the light point where Han Bao and his daughter were, helping observe whether there were other light points approaching, occasionally glancing under the high platform, temporarily without any plan to bring Han Bao's team back.

Under the high platform, many scattered members of various squads had returned.

The original Centurion was still there, helping contact a rendezvous point for regrouping.

Those whose leader was killed and the token stolen would await further reorganization.

Soon, Mulan Jin's gaze, along with Manxi and others, fixated on the Heavenly Mirror Image.

For one reason, Shi Chun's group in the Mirror Image suddenly stopped fleeing, choosing to hide directly in a valley, disappearing from sight in a corner.

What is this about, knowing you've become bait, gave up resisting, or stopped fleeing preparing to fight to the death?

Manxi immediately looked at certain light points on the Mountain River Map and discovered several other colored light points nearly overlapping with it, indicating an impending group battle.

He wanted to know which teams these approaching teams belonged to regarding the upcoming battle, immediately ordering a zoom on those light points.

As the Mountain River Map zoomed in on a point, the serial numbers marked on the light points appeared. The team about to face the battle was indeed Shi Chun's 'Sky 3000'.
