Chapter 1067 - 893: Successful Transfer

With trepidation along the way, the things brought with great difficulty are to be sent back again? Li Hongjiu almost laughed in anger, "What are you doing, treating me like a runner is one thing, but this money being transferred back and forth, are you playing me?"

Shi Chun earnestly said, "Brother Jiu, Wu Jinliang is waiting for my message. If you don't pass it on, he won't know how to coordinate the next move. Acting rashly could cause trouble. When he sees the money, he'll naturally understand what I mean."

Li Hongjiu grimaced, realizing there's really something off with this guy and the big man; none of their messages are clear, yet they fully understand each other's intentions. While he, the one responsible for delivering the messages, the witness, is utterly clueless about what the two are doing.

After snapping back to reality, he pointed at the stack of wood, "You're hiding those anyway, what's the harm in hiding these too. Keeping them on me is very dangerous."

Shi Chun shook his head, "No, keeping them here is even more dangerous. Even slight anomalies will result in searches. I've already been searched several times."

Li Hongjiu didn't understand and pointed again at the pile of wood burying the Qiankun Bag, "Does having fewer of them mean they won't be found?"

Shi Chun smiled wryly, "Brother Jiu, I really can't explain it to you now. You only need to know that keeping the money with you, you can feel at ease. If you're discovered, insist that when we first met, fearing it would fall into others' hands, I gave it to you during an ambush. It's not custody, it's a gift to you!"

This wasn't an excuse, he genuinely couldn't explain. After acquiring the money, he would burn the Death Refusing Incense again; the smell, though partially disguised as smoke pollution, would likely arouse suspicion, ensuring someone would come to check. Any money not sent away would be easily discovered.

As he persuaded, he gestured upwards, indicating that if not wrapped up soon, trouble could arise.

Li Hongjiu stared complexly at him, honestly, if he hadn't been repeatedly saved by him, he really wouldn't want to get involved in such mess, no amount of money could persuade him.

Since he wouldn't worry about losing the money or finding explanations if discovered, he felt nonchalant. He loosened his clothing and concealed it inside, making it easier with dozens less Qiankun Bags this time.

After fastening the clothes and donning the cloak, it was settled. He sighed, "How long do you guys plan to mess around?"

Shi Chun retorted, "Did you return directly here after escaping from Wu Jinliang's array?"

Li Hongjiu nodded with a sound of acknowledgment.

Shi Chun pondered and said, "It won't last long, it's ending soon. If expected, Nanshan isn't the only one raising Demon Eye Cultivators; upon your return, they'll certainly trace your route, so the money must quickly reach Wu Jinliang."

Li Hongjiu contemplated, "Do you mean that those yelling to eradicate demonic paths are privately raising Demon Cultivators?"

Shi Chun: "Who knows what they're secretly colluding. Right or wrong isn't up to you or me to decide. People like us, are so insignificant... Find a way to survive."

After speaking, he gestured for him to leave, indeed not wanting him to stay long, as prolonged presence might raise suspicion in Murong Wuai or Yu Yifu.

"Be careful yourself." Li Hongjiu tightened his cloak, tossed a remark back, and swiftly departed.

Once he left, Murong Wuai's figure quickly drilled down, directly asking, "How is it?"

Shi Chun spoke quietly, "Mr. Murong, I and he are friends, once we leave here, I haven't said anything, and I won't admit anything later."

Murong Wuai understood his implication, "Got it, cut the rubbish, speak what's useful."

Shi Chun lowered his voice further, "Wu Jinliang has been found and trapped by them, hard to escape. However, the Nanshan group can't do much to him yet; Wu Jinliang is hiding within a Protection Array, duration unknown. I've heard they returned straight from where Wu Jinliang was trapped. If traces of their coming route are found, my steed can be discovered. As a Nanshan person, that's all he revealed, nothing more."

Murong Wuai squinted slightly, turned to leave, but saw Shi Chun take out various bottles and jars, pouring them into a pot, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Shi Chun viciously said, "Just as the Nanshan group arrived, releasing toxic smoke to poison them!"

"..." Murong Wuai was speechless, not opposing poisoning others, but your method seems too crude. He pointed and asked, "Are you sure your haphazard dumping is the correct combination of medicine?"

Shi Chun had his reasons, "Mr. Murong rest assured, these were prepared in my spare time." While speaking, he opened more jars and dumped messy things into the pot.

Murong Wuai didn't know what to say about this fellow, nor did he want to say more, sprinting out before Shi Chun lit the fire, not wanting to be the first to inhale.

After leaving the small cabin, he dove into the misty crack, heading into the Yanfu Continent to arrange personnel.

Standing beside the barrier, Yu Yifu and his group watched Murong Wuai's departure while listening to the guard recount the events of various factions quickly leaving after a month of guarding once thick smoke emerged.

Coincidentally, just as the guard finished speaking, dense smoke billowed out from Shi Chun's small cabin.

With Murong Wuai's departure and smoke emerging, Lu Xun from East Victory, Xie Lingao from Beiju, and You Ben from West Niu showed similar reactions; no sooner did they arrive, they swiftly summoned their men and retreated into the misty crack.

Their apt reactions, let alone Yu Yifu and his group who'd heard from the guards about various factions being driven away by smoke, even the previously somewhat clueless Nanshan guards outside the barrier suddenly realized something, urgently shouting, "Not good, this smoke might be problematic."

Unclear of the situation, caution was best. Coinciding with the absence of Lin Wuxiang, an expert in poisons, in Yanfu Continent, who'd be unable to assess toxicity, Yu Yifu showed vigilance and immediately summoned his companions, "Let's go, discuss inside first."

The group swiftly retreated back to Yanfu Continent.

As soon as he landed on the sandy ground, Yu Yifu immediately summoned the taciturn Li Hongjiu for questioning, "Have you gathered any information?"

Li Hongjiu countered, "I don't know who that old fellow guarding the entrance to Shi Chun's wooden house is."

Yu Yifu replied, "He is Murong Wuai, leader of the Heavenly Court's forces over there. What's the matter?"

Li Hongjiu said, "That old fellow is watching too closely, making Shi Chun afraid to speak recklessly. But from Shi Chun's tone, it seems that the Heavenly Court has a remarkable approach to tracking. Even if I don't say where we're from, they seem capable of reverse locating the place where Senior Luo Yuanfeng and others are stationed."

Knowing that various families might have Demon Eye Cultivators, he wasn't hesitant to use this to press Yu Yifu to return quickly to where Wu Jinliang and others were.

Regarding the matter of maintaining Demon Cultivators, he wasn't sure if knowing so much was beneficial, but he saw an ominous trend where he began to exploit such matters.

Feeling somewhat anxious, having spent many years in the Yanbao Sect without any significant incidents, yet every time he encountered Shi Chun, significant events continuously unfolded.

He had made up his mind that if he could smoothly return to the mountain this time, he would retreat and meditate for a hundred years honestly to dispel the bad luck.

Yu Yifu was worried by this and instinctively scanned his surroundings; while others might not understand the meaning behind Shi Chun's words, he had suspicions that the Heavenly Court might also have Demon Eye Cultivators.

Before he could think further, the people guarding this outlet came forward to report, "Mr. Yu, the people from the four houses guarding here have suddenly left a portion."

Yu Yifu questioned, "In which direction did they go?"

The reporter looked around, raised his hand to point, "They seem to have headed in the direction you came from."

Having understood the current situation after stepping out, Yu Yifu decisively no longer lingered, saying in a deep voice, "To those who just came, immediately follow me back."

Thus, a group departed swiftly.

Murong Wuai and others, even though sending them off, did not remain idle, commanding the limited personnel beside him to quickly gather those who had scattered and were searching everywhere...

Inside the cave, Shi Chun, confirmed that everyone outside had run off with his Right Eye Superpower, decisively used an iron hook to place the Death Refusing Incense on the fire to burn, tossed a corpse beside it, and threw out an empty box.

While frequently lifting his head to observe outside, he turned over the pile of logs, tossed all the Qiankun Bags into the box, and brought out something that could locate them and threw it inside.

When the Two Realms Channel opened smoothly, and familiar grim Yin Qi descended again, he decisively leaped into the other end of the Two Realms Channel holding the box.

Landing in the dim Netherworld, he quickly scanned his surroundings, decisively cast a spell to break open the ground, threw the box in, buried it, then deftly summoned a large stone from a distance to place it over the excavated ground. He briefly recognized the shape of the stone before flashing back into the Two Realms Channel, returning to the smoke-filled cave.

Immediately afterward, he slapped the corpse into dust, causing the corpse and the countless golden threads emerging from the corpse to vanish, forcibly interrupting the corpse's 'revival,' and closing the Two Realms Channel.

There was no choice; he had to interrupt before the golden threads could drag the soul back, otherwise the Netherworld's guardians might track along the direction the soul was drawn, something he had witnessed firsthand. Without forcibly interrupting, it was highly likely to expose the place where he had hidden his money.

He also feared that the Two Realms Channel being open for too long might lead to unforeseen situations, breaking in on this side.

Thus, he didn't even have time to contact Chu Jingtang and Lao Changtai, waiting for a chance to communicate and hand over.

Therefore, the entire process was completed swiftly, in just a few breaths.

This was also something he hadn't anticipated before entering Yanfu Continent, originally planning to proceed leisurely.

After erasing all traces on-site, discovering that outside the wooden house was still empty, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then proceeded to extinguish the fire, as the items were already sent off, there was no need to continue creating that smoky mess.

However, the scent mingled with Death Refusing Incense still needed to dissipate; he cast a spell to swirl the smoke out of the cave, then ran outside to the edge of the glowing crack, casting a spell to swirl the smoke inside.

Most of the guardians of the five major forces gathered before the barrier, watching.

People around Yanfu Continent's entryway gradually turned to gaze at the glowing crack, only to see a haze of light and shadow, as waves of smoke drifted out.

"Damn, that bastard is at it again." Someone couldn't help but curse, this was something not easy to get used to, especially after hearing it might be poisonous, increasing resentment.

Clearing smoke from the Protection Array in this area, Shi Chun turned around and personally filled the hole he dug, moved a small wooden stump to sit quietly in front of the small wooden house awaiting.

To him, at this moment, his journey to Yanfu Continent had officially ended, and he would no longer venture inside recklessly.

Knowing that the news of his mount being able to locate mines had exploded outside, he felt unprecedented danger, clearly aware that it was directed at him, Shi Chun.

Thus at the time, he desperately fought to break out, succeeded, and never considered entering Yanfu Continent again, because he didn't know what kind of knife awaited him, nor who held the knife, possibly even Murong Wuai.

As for whether this journey would end smoothly, it depended on whether Li Hongjiu could successfully bring the money to Wu Jinliang. With Wu Jinliang's capability, once he received the message, he would know how to end this sudden eruption of chaos.
