Duan Jie found Su Jikuan and expressed his intention to use Situ Zhen to find Shi Chun. Su Jikuan, however, remained silent, with eyes slightly downcast.

His deputy, Chang Shifei, understood immediately. This leader is very proud, though he wants something, he is unwilling to do the dirty work.

Fine, if the main character fears getting his hands dirty, then it has to be his deputy to handle it.

He immediately invited Duan Jie to step aside for further discussion. After detailed communication, he directly contacted the Beiju Central Hub, he also had a Centurion Token himself.

Beiju Central Hub's Commander Lan She gladly agreed upon receiving the report. Knowing that there was nothing for positioning over there, trivial matters like this did not require his direct handling. He immediately sent a message to his trusted subordinate Xiao Ruomei, a female, informing her of the situation and asking her to coordinate a set of Positioning Magical Artifacts for Chang Shifei.

Lan She then turned his gaze back to the mirror image, where the storm clouds had already subsided. He then fixed his gaze on the light spots on the Mountain River Map. It was now clear that the top operatives of West Niu and East Victory were heading toward the storm clouds' direction. Though he did not know why they were going there, it prompted him to consider deploying Su Jikuan as a precaution, fearing that fellow disciple Chongxing could be in danger.

Now, upon hearing that Su Jikuan's side had found another way to trace Shi Chun's whereabouts, he dismissed that thought.

If Shi Chun's whereabouts are truly discovered, while other top agents have gone afar, this would be an opportunity for him to swallow the Sky Splitting Sword.

With coordination from the Command Center, Duan Jie quickly obtained a Positioning Magical Artifact, which was just a sword. There was no need to find a reason to give it to Situ Zhen; explanations were meant for the Beiju Team.

Providing Situ Zhen with an opportunity to leave the team was naturally easy.

With Duan Jie's cooperation, Chang Shifei and others, aided by the Command Center, identified the location of a nearby Heavenly Court Team intentionally. In the presence of Situ Zhen, they spoke out loud as a provocation. Su Jikuan, who listened in, knew their intention but pretended not to understand, tightening his black cloak and gazing into the distance.

Later, Duan Jie's words were proven, as Situ Zhen did indeed want to find Shi Chun. Tempted by their provocation, she found a chance to sneak out quietly.

The plan succeeded, and Chang Shifei clapped hands with Duan Jie in approval. The two immediately took out the Positioning Compass to track Situ Zhen's direction.

The Command Center also confirmed that Situ Zhen had discarded her armor while on the move, although she had never really worn any armor, only kept it with her after receiving it.

The subsequent plan seemed to unfold perfectly as they anticipated, as Situ Zhen indeed encountered the Heavenly Court forces.

The news quickly reached the Heavenly Court Command Center. Manxi frowned upon receiving the report and turned to Mulan Jin, sending a message: "Commander, we've encountered a tricky situation. Situ Gu's female disciple, Situ Zhen, left the team alone, roaming around aimlessly, and found our people, asking them about Shi Chun's whereabouts."

Mulan Jin frowned upon hearing this, which was also one of the reasons he resented Shi Chun's antics with his daughter. That scoundrel not only had relationships with brothel women but also had an affair with Situ Gu's female disciple. It's said he was even pursuing Miao Dingyi's daughter. How could he allow his daughter to become one of the women in Shi Chun's chaotic relationships?

Thus, he responded coolly, "You are the Commander, why ask me?"

Manxi chuckled bitterly: "People found our team, didn't start a fight, claiming they were looking for someone. They introduced themselves upon meeting, said they're Situ Gu's disciple, and mentioned they don't have a Centurion Token. Situ Gu had already released the word that his disciple dislikes fighting and isn't very bright, and he didn't give the disciple any Magical Treasure. What's the implication? It's almost as if saying straight out, 'Just try to touch my disciple and see.' Which of the teams below would dare start trouble without reason? Situ Gu is the favorite guest of the Emperor, how am I supposed to handle it?"

Mulan Jin pondered: "Indeed, Situ Gu's disciple entering is somewhat peculiar."

Manxi: "Knowing the Commander rescued Shi Chun from Life Prison to participate in the battle, I've learned more about Shi Chun's situation. It's said that Shi Chun is in a romantic relationship with Situ Gu's female disciple, who supposedly likes Shi Chun very much, rushing to hug and kiss him publicly upon seeing him. The Commander is well-informed, surely more so than me, is this the case? If true, could it be that she came here specifically for Shi Chun?"

"It's possible..." Mulan Jin muttered. The conversation did remind him of one thing: if Situ Zhen met Shi Chun and indeed embraced and kissed openly, could his daughter realize something then?

Manxi: "The means to contact Shi Chun is in your hands, whether to notify Shi Chun, I'll leave to your discretion. I worry the straightforward approach might be a trap, such as a tracking device?"

Mulan Jin thought for a moment and replied: "Whether that woman is good or bad, whether there's danger or if she can be met, Shi Chun knows better than us. There's no need to worry about tracking; with the scoundrel's astuteness, he's unlikely to fall into such a trap."

Manxi thought the same, as he's just notifying for now, leaving the decision to Mulan Jin to handle as he sees fit.

Of course, he added casually, "The Commander might as well inquire about Li Hongjiu's injury, there's some saying that Li Hongjiu can also wield lightning." He nodded toward the fading clouds in the mirror image.

Mulan Jin understood and nodded.

Shi Chun, stretching his muscles and bones after coming out of the cave, looked at the sky, noticing it had darkened considerably. The reason for the previously gathered clouds scattering here was likely that the sky would soon clear up again.
