Taking advantage of the Battle of Great Pardon to enter the Demon Realm, how could Situ Zhen not know what the Land of Extreme Abyss was, and this statement thoroughly confirmed Shi Chun's group as part of the Demon Path.

For her to go to the Land of Extreme Abyss was no big deal, but after she cast a spell to check the information in the token, she was left speechless. It turned out to be Feng Yin's token, and its holder was still alive.

This meant that her movements with this token could be easily discovered by various parties.

Secretly going to the Land of Extreme Abyss and deliberately heading there are two different concepts.

If she goes deliberately, her purpose would be too obvious, and the Three Lineages of the Demon Path would all pay attention and suspect her of being part of the Demon Path.

She was indeed part of the Demon Path, but she didn't want all of the Demon Path to know it yet.

This wretched thing made it difficult for her, and the key was she couldn't let the other party see that she knew something was amiss about the Land of Extreme Abyss.

She wanted to refuse, but the other party's "obey" stopped her words.

She had no idea about the relationship between the original self and Shi Chun; all she knew came from others, and she knew the original self obeyed Shi Chun's words the most.

After hesitating for a long time and considering that the ultimate goal was the same, she finally nodded in agreement.

So she quietly left while everyone was gathered around Li Hongjiu and Tong Mingshan…

"Sect Leader Tong's internal injuries are quite strange, the pulse is too chaotic; it seems there is something about Dongguo Shou's techniques."

Feng Chi sighed after personally examining Tong Mingshan.

Beside him, Mulan Qingqing said, "The Carefree Sect has a palm technique called 'Carefree Scattering Hand,' and when hit, the hidden force continues to destroy. Could Sect Leader Tong have been hit by his palm?"

Tong Mingshan looked unconscious, and even if he heard, he couldn't respond.

In any case, Feng Chi first helped re-bandage the wound on his severed arm, "If spirit pills can be found after leaving here, the arm should be able to recover."

For Shi Chun right now, recovering a severed arm is a minor issue.

In earlier years, it would undoubtedly have been a significant challenge. After struggling for so long, recovering a severed arm now means nothing. Putting aside his own wealth, even with the current strength Tong Mingshan has shown, many would be willing to help him out of goodwill.

As long as everyone can get out alive, and provided no more bizarre occurrences like "Demon Dew" happen, healing would be straightforward.

When the time seemed to be about right, Shi Chun suddenly said, "This place is not suitable to stay for long; we should hide at sea. It's easier to escape when situations arise over there. Let them recover from their injuries first before moving forward."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately helped the injured up and prepared to set off. Unexpectedly, Wu Jinliang asked, "Where's Zhener? Chun Tian, where's Zhener?"

At his shout, everyone naturally looked around, indeed not seeing her.

Shi Chun quickly took out the Mother-child Talisman, seemingly trying to contact Zhener, but there was no response.

It was a bit unusual, and everyone inevitably started worrying and helped search around.

"Zhener…"

"Zhener…"

In the end, after searching everywhere and shouting loudly, they couldn't find a trace of her.

It was late at night with poor lighting, and there might be hidden dangers around, so no one dared venture far.

After gradually returning, Wu Jinliang cursed, "Chun Tian, could someone have quietly come and done something to her?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned vigilant.

Only Shi Chun reacted differently, frowning and pondering. Wu Jinliang asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Chun pursed his lips, "Zhener mentioned before she hadn't seen the Sky Splitting Sword and wanted to, so I let her play with it."

Upon this revelation, everyone was stunned, and Wu Jinliang first reacted with surprise, "No way, could she have run off with the Sky Splitting Sword?"

Everyone was shocked, looking at each other and then focusing on Shi Chun.

After much hesitation, Shi Chun said, "That Qiankun Bag and the tokens inside, including Feng Yin's token, were also inside. If they left, the Command Center could probably check."

Though he said this, he clearly showed reluctance to suspect Zhener.

Others, however, were shocked. Not only was the Sky Splitting Sword taken, but also over a hundred tokens? That was everyone's hard-earned credit!

How could the wise Master make such a low-level mistake? Truly, even heroes can't resist the charms of beauty.

Even Mulan Qingqing didn't quite know what to say to Shi Chun, having heard about his and Zhener's situation. After observing, she found that woman's aloof and unsociable demeanor puzzling.

Again, Wu Jinliang shouted: "Chun Tian, have you lost your mind? Twenty years is a long time; people change. She's now with the Beiju Team. You... Brother Han, let's not worry about him. Can't you also contact the Xuanji Token Master? Immediately ask him to help us check in the Command Center to see if we can still find the location of Feng Yin's token."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Han Bao glanced at Shi Chun, disregarded Shi Chun's opinion, and also felt that this matter was of great importance, not caring about Shi Chun's feelings anymore. He quickly took out the Mother-child Talisman to contact Mulan Jin.

Upon receiving the message, Mulan Jin, who was in the Command Center of the Heavenly Court Team, naturally checked immediately.

A glance was shocking, and she immediately transmitted to Manxi: "Not good, something happened on Shi Chun's side. Situ Gu's female disciple, Shitou Zhen, borrowed the Sky Splitting Sword from Shi Chun under the pretext of never seeing it, and while Shi Chun was off guard, she disappeared along with over a hundred tokens in the bag. They searched everywhere around but found no one. Feng Yin's token was also in that bag; hopefully, the woman didn't find it. Quickly check where Feng Yin's token is."

"Such a thing? Considering his cunning, how could he make such a mistake? Damn." Manxi stamped his foot in frustration and immediately ordered his men to investigate.

Soon, the position of Feng Yin's token was locked onto on the Mountain River Map. After zooming in to the limit, they clearly captured its movement trajectory, and the Heavenly Mirror synchronized the images, quickly tracking the scene to check.

In the mirror image, only Situ Zhen was flying fast under the starry sky, looking quite lonely.

Upon closer inspection, it was just one person. Even with a higher view, there was still no one else around.

After confirming the direction, Mulan Jin immediately informed Han Bao of the situation.

Han Bao swiftly relayed to Shi Chun, "The person has indeed run away, already far from our location, heading west on the Wind Riding Scale. If we act now, we might still catch up."

Shi Chun said solemnly, "This is between her and me; I'll handle it. You carry no locating devices and can escort them to the sea area for healing. Brother Han, you're the highest in cultivation, so I'll leave them to you."

Han Bao nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Mulan Qingqing said, "I'll go with you."

About to face the Demon Path, Shi Chun couldn't possibly take her along; it would be inconvenient to silence her afterward. If something happened to her while with him, Mulan Jin would be hard-pressed to explain, so he sternly refused, "It's personal, you shouldn't get involved."

He also gave Han Bao a look, signaling him to keep an eye on her.

Han Bao nodded slightly again.

Shi Chun didn't take too many people, bringing only Wu Jin and Feng Chi, who knew about the Demon Path, and Xiao Sheng and Shen Moming. Experts like An Wuzhi were not taken, nor were those whose identities shouldn't be exposed like Lao Changtai and Chu Jingtang.

The last thing they needed were experts, fearing it would scare others from trying to hunt him down.

Thus, the party in the mirror image split into two groups and went on their way, leaving Manxi with a sullen face watching.

After Mulan Jin inquired about the situation from Han Bao and relayed it to Manxi, she also reassured him, "Rest assured, Shi Chun's capabilities are undeniable. Since he's gone after them, he'll find a way to retrieve it."

Manxi said in a deep voice, "Commander, if the Sky Splitting Sword falls into someone else's hands, it poses a significant threat to Dongguo Shou. Such a lapse should not have occurred."

Mulan Jin pondered, "It's not really Shi Chun's carelessness. Situ Gu's disciple craves fame and fortune; given their relationship, for her to pull such a stunt on Shi Chun was indeed unexpected."

She then took out another Mother-child Talisman to check. After reading it, she transmitted to Manxi, "Shi Chun has sent a message, telling our people not to act, not to intercept Situ Zhen. Creating a commotion might just make it obvious to all sides what we're doing. He says he'll retrieve the items himself."

But what they worried about has already happened. The sight of Situ Zhen acting alone caught the attention of other teams, especially since the Heavenly Court located Situ Zhen using the number on Feng Yin's token.

The various teams, upon receiving informants' reports, confirmed Situ Zhen's location based on Feng Yin's token number.

The situation has drastically changed; the dynamics are different now. There's less urgency to use Situ Zhen to pinpoint Shi Chun's whereabouts; it requires careful consideration.

Yan Zhili is injured, Su Jikuan is injured, the injured Feng Yin is missing, Luo Que is recovering. Can anyone else sent to find Shi Chun's group be certain of victory?

Capturing Situ Zhen for a single token isn't meaningful. Catching Situ Gu's disciple poses a dilemma—killing or releasing isn't straightforward.

The greater suspicion lies in Situ Zhen's actions, which seem like a trap or decoy.

All sides are already analyzing the last bit of information regarding Shi Chun, seeing his party split into two ways on the Heavenly Mirror image, unsure of the intent.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolds, with everyone noticing Situ Zhen running around with Feng Yin's token, yet no one responding.

As Situ Zhen sped through the air, she adjusted her flight posture, concealing the Mother-child Talisman she took out to check, which was a message from Duan Jie.

Duan Jie, receiving reports from informants and learning of Situ Zhen's discovery by all sides, naturally relayed the situation while curious about what Situ Zhen was up to.

Upon hearing Duan Jie's report that Shi Chun parted ways with Han Bao and the others, Situ Zhen was suddenly enlightened, understanding Shi Chun's intention, and replied: "Not much, Shi Chun gave me Feng Yin's token, made it look like I stole it, and fled towards the Land of Extreme Abyss; he likely will pursue."

The Land of Extreme Abyss? Duan Jie was slightly surprised, asking: "What's he planning?"

Situ Zhen replied: "I've found out he's also with the Demon Path, not sure which lineage yet. He has the Sky Splitting Sword capable of countering Dongguo Shou. He split from experts among his comrades to chase me. Fortunately, I have Feng Yin's token, visible to all teams. Why do you think he's chasing me to the Land of Extreme Abyss?"

Duan Jie pondered briefly and suddenly realized, inhaling sharply, replying: "He's luring all sides to the Extreme Abyss Demon Altar to deliver them as sacrifice!"

Situ Zhen, on the other hand, exploded with profanity in the Mother-child Talisman response: "Now all sides can't see where I'm heading yet. Once my destination is clear, my identity will no longer be hidden among the Three Lineages. Damn it!"
