Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 681: A Heart Worthy of Death (Part 2)


However, precisely because the area was enlarged repeatedly, it became apparent that the number was moving. When observing the entire map of the Demon Realm with the Mountain River Map, the movement speed of such a small dot is impossible to visually convey, and without enough time, you can't see any movement.

The key point is, why is there only the number light, and when magnified, you can't see a battle armor light? Can the token fly on its own?

Additionally, the picture from the Heavenly Mirror is still fixed on that valley, with no sign of Shi Chun's group making any moves.

Manxi immediately ordered the Heavenly Mirror to track the moving token light.

The moving distance wasn't very far, and soon the cause of the light's movement was determined. Three people were seen riding a Wind Scale flying fast, and none of them were wearing battle armor.

Manxi didn't recognize the three people, but they certainly weren't Shi Chun and his gang who he saw earlier. The question is, why would Shi Chun's token be on them?

His subordinate immediately gave him the answer, transmitting the message: "Commander, not good, those are the people sent to meet Shi Chun's token, and Shi Chun's token seems to be with them as well."

Manxi was taken aback and suspiciously asked back, "How could Shi Chun's token be on them..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly recalled Shi Chun's group finding a place to hide, instantly realizing something, and urgently transmitted: "Quickly, quickly tell them there's danger, quickly guide them to escape."

His subordinate was somewhat embarrassed, transmitting: "To conceal their whereabouts, they didn't bring a token for direct contact. I'll ask if their team has any Mother-child Talisman contact methods."

What's with the nonsense, using such an indirect communication method to guide them out of danger? Manxi immediately transmitted to the person in charge of Shi Chun's team, ordering him to contact Shi Chun's token directly.

Before that could be said, the group of people in the mirror image seemed to find something terrifying and looked frightened, apparently making a full retreat.

The three kept looking back, one of them suddenly took out a bunch of tokens, found one with a message written, after looking at it, his face changed dramatically, glancing around as if trying to meet eyes with the Heavenly Mirror, as if cursing why they weren't warned earlier.

Soon after, the three in the picture quickly put away the Wind Scale and took up their weapons, attacking madly in one direction.

Brown objects were seen shooting through the air, the three frantically blasting them to stop them, but unable to halt the continuous onslaught. Almost at face value, the three were pierced by the flying objects, trembling, eyes wide in pain.

Based on the magnified light point marker numbers, a report was made to Manxi: "It's Lu Yin."

The mirror image was also enlarged at this moment, revealing what seemed to be a floating long-haired monster's head in the air, with long hair piercing in the direction of the three people, and Lu Yin, appearing like the brood mother of a long-haired monster's lair, slowly extended his tendrils, drawing the skewered trio closer, fragments flying in the picture.

Upon closer inspection, those hair-like things turned out to be tree root-like objects.

After pulling the three writhing figures close, Lu Yin removed a Qiankun Bag from one of them, took out a bunch of tokens, quickly found one labeled Heavenly Number three thousand and inspected it, then laughed, mockingly saying to the person across, "So you're Shi Chun, using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, empty reputation, only this."

Wei Mo, in front of the mirror image, seeing that bunch of tokens now in ally hands, merely breathed a slight sigh of relief, but frowned, unable to comprehend what Shi Chun was up to, as he knew the wounded weren't Shi Chun.

Soon after, he was stunned again, as the dense tree roots retreated into Lu Yin's body, the three pierced quickly shriveled up, clearly drained, while Lu Yin looked slightly satisfied.

At this moment, the mirror images of all five battle teams gathered on this scene, although from different angles, all clearly saw what happened. Many frowned, noticing that although Lu Yin was a human cultivator, it was unclear if he was human or demon, exhibiting some demonic nature.

Suddenly, the image of Lu Yin in the mirror unexpectedly turned, with exploding scenes clearly indicating, many tree roots flying apart, someone coming to kill, sword in hand, as if to exorcise demons, charging directly into the densely packed root-like mass, one sword strike severing a thousand roots, remarkably valiant.

Crucially, more than one person came to kill, with several charging out from various directions, clearly not from the same team, yet jointly besieging Lu Yin.

Lu Yin spun wildly, body exploding with tree roots, the severed roots rapidly regrowing, throwing attackers into endless mad whippings, overwhelmed and spat out blood, while the rest scattered out to temporarily avoid.

Not waiting for them to launch another attack, Lu Yin suddenly turned and flew away quickly, with his roots rapidly retracting. It wasn't that he feared these people, but the Command Center had sent a message reminding him that more people were coming, including true experts.

He didn't want to get entangled and be caught in endless assaults, so he retreated first.

Among those besieging him, except for the injured pressing forward, the rest all flashed and pursued urgently, showing great perseverance.

Watching this scene, Mulan Jin transmitted to Manxi, "What's going on?"

Manxi angrily replied, "What else? Shi Chun sought to escape, drawing trouble eastward, even giving their team's tokens to the support people, causing the support people to be chased and ten or so tokens stolen, that bastard, courting death!"

How dare he? Mulan Jin frowned and immediately took out the Mother-child Talisman to contact Shi Chun, asking if Shi Chun knew the consequences of disobedience.

He was also inwardly furious, suspecting Shi Chun was defying orders relying on him as the Xuanji Token Master, thinking everything would be covered by him. If he was indeed that reckless, this rogue could no longer be kept.

At this time, Shi Chun hovered in the air with his partners, watching from afar, observing the fight between Lu Yin's group.

After running aimlessly underground for a while, hearing the fighting commotions, Shi Chun circled back, bringing everyone to take a look. After all, they had been chased by Lu Yin for so long, curious to see how capable he was.

Chai Wenwu, Old Chai, was still somewhat timid, constantly looking around, afraid of being noticed by the Heavenly Mirror.

Feng Chi had the same concern, but seeing Shi Chun's group's reactions, it seemed they didn't care, appearing even calmer than Mingshan Sect's group.

Shi Chun indeed didn't take the Heavenly Mirror seriously now; everything with a positioning device on him was gone. In such a large area, how could the Heavenly Mirror easily focus on him? Even if the image shrunk and caught his silhouette, it wouldn't necessarily confirm he was Shi Chun.

Besides, even if they saw him, so what? Without being able to locate him, with Wu Jinliang's Earth Escape Technique, he could easily burrow away.

Actually, as long as he wasn't located, avoiding the Heavenly Mirror's watch wasn't difficult.

They not only watched the fight but also saw people occasionally flying towards the direction Lu Yin fled.

At this time, Shi Chun also took out the Mother-child Talisman to contact Mulan Jin. This outcome was within his expectations; without the token, Mulan Jin, known for not contacting him easily, surely couldn't hold back.

After reading the message, Shi Chun directly replied: "Subordinate did not defy orders, subordinate knows the commander's good intentions. The Command Center ordered subordinate to hand over all tokens, so subordinate complied immediately, how could there be talk of disobedience?"

What nonsense? Mulan Jin's gaze moved from the message and transmitted to Manxi, "Did you order Shi Chun to hand over all tokens before?"

Currently in a temper while angrily handling other command matters, Manxi was startled upon hearing, and then transmitted defensively, "My intention was for him to hand over all captured tokens."

Mulan Jin asked again, "You didn't instruct him to keep his own, only ordered to hand over all tokens?"

Manxi hesitated, finally gnashing his teeth irritably, "I just couldn't explicitly say to use himself as bait, that scoundrel must clearly understand my meaning, he's deliberately exploiting a loophole, his heart is despicable!"

Mulan Jin's gaze lingered on the Mother-child Talisman, his lips curling slightly distastefully. Now he somewhat understood why Shi Chun expressed gratitude previously, when asked to risk to lure the enemy. He once thought Shi Chun was subtly mocking him, but in reality, the rogue assumed he was helping by giving all the tokens to draw away the disaster.

Alternatively, his heart could indeed be despicable, audaciously exploiting the status of his Xuanji Token Master?

But it no longer mattered, the key was the rogue paved the way for him, ensuring he wouldn't be put in a difficult position, leaving no grounds not to protect him.

After some thought, a small smile formed on his lips. With such skills, he found it worthwhile to personally retrieve him from the Life Prison, truly deserving.
