Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 907 770: Flee If You Can't Win

Howling in the middle of the night, flaunting to this extent, Shi Chun had already guessed the reason, his gaze locked onto the figure half-soaked in sea waves, illuminated by starlight on the beach, and he quickly flashed over to have a look, sure enough, the roaring figure was Wu Jinliang.

He didn't fall into the water, half-floating on the crest of the waves, crouching high and asked, "Breakthrough?"

"Hehehehe..." Wu Jinliang was overjoyed, giving an answer, his cultivation had officially broken through to the Earth Immortal Upper Realm, and with great pride, he retorted, "Chun Tian, back then, did you ever think that after merely twenty years, we would be where we are today?"

Shi Chun raised his eyebrows, also feeling happy for him, reminiscing back to those years, when this was a guy who charged at the front with a big machete but always ran at the back, a coward afraid of death, now he gradually dared to have the 'let me go up' posture.

This was good, especially at this critical moment, the stronger the strength of one's own people, the better.

Feng Chi and others also flashed over one after another, the chick being held woke up too, shaking its head under the starry moonlight and calling "sister," the waves made a harmonious sound.

"Boss Wu, what's the fuss about?" An Wuzhi asked.

Wu Jinliang punched his chest with water-churning fists, "Nothing, just a breakthrough in cultivation."

Xiao Sheng, witnessing from the side, twisted his mouth, he too had guessed, after seeing this guy sticking around the group, observing the cultivation techniques of various people, he knew what Wu Jinliang was up to.

In fact, the "All Forms Technique" Wu Jinliang cultivated had not been disclosed to others in the Mingshan Sect. After Shi Chun obtained several cultivation techniques from the Divine Fire Domain, he let Wu Jinliang choose first, leaving the rest for others, so others in the Mingshan Sect didn't know the details of this technique.

But Xiao Sheng was different, during the twenty years Shi Chun was imprisoned, he and Wu Jinliang were 'dependent on each other', engaging in various sneaky and mischievous acts. To trick others into showcasing their cultivation techniques, he often transformed into a stunning beauty to help Wu Jinliang, so he knew very well what Wu Jinliang's observation meant.

"Another breakthrough?" Zhu Xiangxin expressed astonishment.

Wu Jinliang waved his hand, "Ha, compared to you, mine is nothing worth mentioning."

Tong, Zhu, and An, who cultivated fire attribute skills, exchanged glances, knowing that it's not the same for them; their rapid advancement relies on Divine Fire Power.

After the excitement, Wu Jinliang wasn't finished and didn't chat further, before flashing away, he threw a sentence to Shi Chun, "There's still some potential left, I'll continue in seclusion."

Shi Chun and Xiao Sheng, watching him leave, understood what this meant; the various cultivation techniques these days still have expansive potential for his cultivation, which hasn't been fully utilized and can continue to evolve into reality.

As everyone dispersed, Shi Chun called Han Bao to talk away from the crowd, intending to address the biggest current danger, Mulan Qingqing!

The reason why Mulan Qingqing is the greatest danger is simple, if anything happens to this woman, everything they do now is in vain.

The two, Shi and Han, found a spot by the reef where the waves came and went; with the splashing sounds as cover, Shi Chun spoke, "Mulan Qingqing cannot be lost. It's the same for me as it is for Brother Han. Am I correct?"

Han Bao nodded slightly, watching him, waiting for the follow-up.

Shi Chun said, "You know about the deliberate actions on the token by the Heavenly Court. Once fully awakened, it will exhibit penetrating power by consuming its internal power, which will even be ineffective hiding within the Extreme Abyss, and I hold a pile of tokens, posing significant danger."

Han Bao understood somewhat and asked, "So, you don't want to abandon the token even if it brings danger to Miss Mulan?"

Shi Chun: "These are battle merits that everyone risked their lives to win; they cannot be abandoned lightly. I know a relatively safe and reliable place, and if Miss Mulan is sent there, she will certainly be safe."

Han Bao was puzzled, "Since there is such a place, it should be acted upon swiftly."

If it could be done directly, Shi Chun wouldn't deliberate with him. He wants to send Mulan Qingqing to the Netherworld, and he plans to knock her out and take her there, but Han Bao, as her shadow, is a problem, because he can't let Han Bao also follow to the Netherworld unless he knocks Han out too; however, with Han Bao's strength, it's not so easy to knock him out.

So he explained, "That place can only send Miss Mulan alone; I hope Brother Han can understand a bit."

Han Bao immediately refused, "No, I must follow and personally guard. There's no room for negotiation."

Shi Chun knew this guy wouldn't let go, inevitably reminding on purpose, "Prior, it was also Brother Han personally guarding, resulting in provoking the Demon Path."

Bringing up a sore subject, Han Bao was said to have flushed slightly and gritted his teeth quietly, "There won't be a next time."

Shi Chun: "Will Brother Han be able to prevent Miss Mulan from going out to join the excitement?"

Han Bao: "If she insists on causing trouble, then I will have to subdue her."

Good, Shi Chun was waiting for this sentence, immediately nodding appreciatively, "Since Brother Han is so determined, I deeply admire you and naturally must comply. To avoid bringing danger to Miss Mulan, I decide to take the token and stay away from Miss Mulan. Without conflicting interests, presumably, no one will have designs on Miss Mulan. Subduing Miss Mulan won't trouble Brother Han; let me be the bad guy."

The first half, Han Bao understood, but the latter half puzzled him somewhat.

However, Shi Chun was already upholding his words, swiftly flashing toward where Mulan Qingqing dwelled, and almost effortlessly knocked Mulan Qingqing out.

Mulan Qingqing was wide-eyed staring at Shi Chun as she fell, full of disbelief, hearing talk of urgent issues, only to be suddenly ambushed upon approaching. She never imagined, instinctively recalling being duped during the Sky Rain Meteor Conference.
