Feng Chi, who was loitering by the seaside, would occasionally glance his way, and seeing that he seemed to be free, she quickly waved her hand.

Seeing this, Shi Chun said to Wu, Chu, and Lao, who were guarding the entrance of the cave, "It's done. The guy inside is dead, no need to guard anymore."

Wu Jinliang chuckled, knowing that Chun Tian had finished his task.

Lao Changtai asked, "Did you get anything from the interrogation?"

Shi Chun replied, "He was very tight-lipped; otherwise, he wouldn't have died. We'll keep the body; we need to send it to someone later."

Lao and Chu couldn't help but sigh, estimating that the spy must have suffered terribly. The Master cut off all his limbs from the start, and the brutal interrogation that followed could only be imagined.

After speaking, Shi Chun took out seven tokens, which came in three different colors. They were familiar with the golden token of the Heavenly Court, also the white tokens from East Victory, and the red tokens from Nanshan.

These tokens were authentic items previously found on Jie Yunzhao.

Shi Chun took out the tokens to show Wu Jinliang, "See, each family's tokens are of different colors. How the previous batch of fakes managed to deceive people is anyone's guess. You take them to Tong Mingshan and have them forge a new batch for each team."

Wu Jinliang chuckled, "It's the first time for everyone, and nobody told us that the tokens differed in color. Don't worry, we won't mess it up this time." Saying this, he swiftly took the tokens and left.

Shi Chun also walked towards the seaside, where the sea breeze was quite refreshing. On his way, he paused and took out the Mother-child Talisman to check. It was Mulan Jin's message, saying that Zhener had found the Heavenly Court team and was looking for him, insisting on seeing him. They were still in a standoff and refused to surrender.

Shi Chun sweated a bit upon reading this. "Big sister, this is a battlefield. You're directly running towards the enemy forces, even going to the enemy camp to find someone. That's quite brave."

But then again, this was indeed something the Zhener he knew would do, capable of such brainless and direct actions. It had been so many years, and she still hadn't changed that habit.

He also knew how stubborn this woman could be; even Situ Gu couldn't handle her. He guessed that after more than twenty years without seeing him, she was eager to find him.

He was also worried that something might happen to her running around. He knew very well that those who cultivated fire attribute skills coveted the Fire Spirit almost madly, capable of doing anything. Having something happen wouldn't just be hard to explain to Situ Gu; he didn't want to sever his relationship with Situ Gu.

Swiftly, he entrusted Mulan Jin to instruct the Heavenly team in the standoff not to mess with Zhener, and he prepared to make a rendezvous.

Mulan Jin knew he could handle it, but still sent a reminder: "Arrived unexpectedly, be wary of deception, take care."

Shi Chun replied: "Thanks, Commander, I understand."

Of course, Mulan Jin didn't forget Manxi's instructions and started inquiring about Li Hongjiu's injuries. He was actually curious as well.

Shi Chun, fearing they might target Li Hongjiu with underhanded tactics, immediately said Li Hongjiu remained in a seriously injured state.

Upon hearing this reply, Mulan Jin glanced at the cloudy scene in the mirror image and felt assured, transmitting to Manxi: "Li Hongjiu is still in the same condition."

"That's good." Manxi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Ming Chaofeng, the Nanshan Team commander, had confirmed the whereabouts of East Victory and West Niu Head Card henchmen on the Mountain River Map. Along with finding that fellow disciples of Beiju Commander Lan She were also on their way, though unsure of their intent, he dispatched some highly skilled individuals to rush there as a precaution.

On the other side, Shi Chun, putting away the Mother-child Talisman, teleported to the seaside and asked Feng Chi, "What's up?"

Feng Chi said, "Headquarters says they can tell you the truth, but it's not something to be known widely, only face-to-face. Also, there's a condition that you hand over the Sky Splitting Sword..."

Shi Chun's eyes immediately widened, "Can what you paid buy the Sky Splitting Sword? That's a quasi-sixth-grade treasure that broke into the fifth grade. I have to risk my life for you and hand over a quasi-sixth-grade treasure. You sure struck a great deal; even a blind person would see it's a big profit."

Feng Chi hurriedly waved her hands, "Master, hear me out. It's just for borrowing. You know, offensive sixth-grade treasures are rare in the entire Cultivation World. Even the Demon Path's Three Sects don't have them. This quasi-sixth-grade treasure can play a significant role in competitions. They didn't expect you to obtain it, so they want to borrow it for a while. After using it, they'll return it."

Shi Chun retorted, "When will it be considered as 'used'? What if they don't return it after use?"

Feng Chi smiled wryly, suppressing a gesture, "That's why they want to have a face-to-face discussion with you."

Shi Chun also wanted to know what those people really wanted, and with Li Hongjiu in hand, he was eager to meet with the Demon Path, unafraid of any backstabbing attempt. If they tried anything, they had to ask Old Huang's Void Escape Divine Arrow.

However, he needed to pick up Zhener, unable to let her run around foolishly. Presumably, only he could calm her down, so he decisively said, "Tell them I'll think it over and discuss it when I return."

With that, he turned to leave.

Feng Chi curiously asked, "Where is Master going?"

Shi Chun glanced back at her, pausing slightly. Feeling she was of no use staying here, he figured it was better to bring an extra runner with him. He needed someone to help with any deceptions while picking up Zhener, so he immediately waved her over, saying, "You come with me."

Feng Chi laughed, her smile like a blossoming flower, and willingly followed.

Before leaving, Shi Chun greeted Wu Jinliang and also brought along Xiao Sheng, including Jie Yunzhao's corpse and its belongings. Since Mulan Jin needed them, he planned to find a place to dump them and let Mulan Jin send someone to retrieve them. As for his hiding place, it was better to be vague unless necessary.
