Chapter 529 Borrowing Strength
After leaving the office area, they walked to a valley. Shi Chun stopped Wu Jinliang who was about to escape underground, and took out the mother-child talisman.

Wu Jinliang didn't know who he was in a hurry to contact at this time, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Shi Chun: "Looking at the way Jihuo Sect is keeping an eye on Huang Yingying, they already know our identity in Dazhi City, and they will probably send people to check the relevant situation. Chu Jingtang and the others are still there, and I am worried that the people of Jihuo Sect will recognize them. The situation here is already extremely unfavorable to us. We already have the Soul-Reversing Tree and the refining method. We can't stay in Juku Island anymore. We need to call Chu Jingtang and the others to evacuate together."

As for rescuing the golden-haired rat clan, there is no rush. They have survived countless years, and it doesn't matter if they wait a few more years. It will be safer and more secure to come again when they have the strength and confidence, or when they have better conditions and opportunities.

Wu Jinliang thought about it and agreed. Just in case, they should withdraw as soon as possible. The most difficult materials have been obtained, and the refining of the incense can be done slowly after returning. There is no need to take risks in this limelight.

Thinking of this, he felt a little excited again. It was worth spending so much time and they finally found something that was so hard to find.

Once those magic weapons are repaired, it means that their strength will increase dramatically, and they can make a fortune even if they sell them.

In the treasure-hunting house in Dazhicheng, except for the lanterns at the door, the room was dark.

Suddenly, there was a faint light flickering in the dark room. It was Chu Jingtang who took out the mother-child talisman. After seeing the message from Shi Chun, he quickly got off the bed, took out the sandalwood and gold flame to illuminate, went out quickly, knocked on the door of the next room, and startled Xiao Sheng who was sitting cross-legged in meditation next door.

Before the words on the mother-child talisman disappeared, he quickly showed it to Xiao Sheng.

There might be danger, so the two dared not delay and immediately sent a message to Lao Changtai, asking him to withdraw quickly.

At this time, Lao Changtai was secretly monitoring Bai's Rice Shop, which was also Shi Chun's intention.

Shi Chun discovered that people from the Bai family were spying on him in Yaoshan City. He didn't know what it meant. He didn't know that the Bai family's patriarch, Grandma Qi, had already gone up the mountain. He just thought that the people who were spying on him were sent by Bai Qiru.

There was no problem in supervising their work, but the problem was that Bai Qiru, who had been kicked out of the family, could still mobilize the masters of the Bai family, which made Shi Chun quite puzzled. So he asked Lao Changtai and others to secretly keep an eye on the Bai family rice shop, wanting to observe whether there was any movement of linkage. Anyway, Lao Changtai and the other two were free anyway.

So the three of them rented a room near Bai's rice shop, and took turns to be on duty to monitor.

Lao Changtai, who was on duty at the time, did not dare to be careless after reading the content of the message on the mother-child talisman. He quickly evacuated through the half-open window and left the place under the cover of night.

In an attic on the adjacent street, someone left the window and said to Yin Tianlu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, "Brother, someone is coming out."

That’s right, the Jihuo Sect has already set their sights on Lao Changtai and the other two.

The reason why they were targeted was due to both coincidence and inevitability.

After the Jihuo Sect learned from Poyuan about Shi Chun's situation in Dazhi City, they immediately sent people to Dazhi City to investigate.

In fact, the Jihuo Sect has been secretly keeping an eye on Shi Chun and his gang for a long time, ever since the end of the Divine Fire Covenant Ceremony. Although they have not found an opportunity to take action against Shi Chun and his gang, they are very clear about the personnel situation of Shi Chun and his gang.

So they knew very well that it was not only Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang who had not been seen for a long time. Where did the others go? They felt that Dazhi City was hiding something mysterious, so when they discussed and dispatched personnel, they also sent Yin Tianlu, who had just been sent back to Jihuo Sect.

The reason is simple, because Yin Tianlu knows Shi Chun and his gang.

The Bai family rice shop was bound to become one of the targets that the Jihuo Sect would keep an eye on, and they would naturally want to have the best position when keeping an eye on it.

When Jihuo Sect wanted to rent the house they liked, they found out that it had already been rented out. After asking, they found out that it had just been rented out not long ago. What a coincidence? This immediately aroused the vigilance of Jihuo Sect members.

Upon observation, it was a coincidence that even though Lao Changtai and the others had simply disguised themselves, they were still recognized by Yin Tianlu and the others.

Not only did they recognize them, but they also dug out the three people's lair. The treasure hunting house where the three people lived was already under the surveillance of the Jihuo Sect.

Of course, the focus was not long.

At this moment, Yin Tianlu, who had opened his eyes and regained consciousness, immediately asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

With the celestial masters dispatched, he, the leader of the Divine Fire Alliance, is now just a small follower responsible for surveillance.

His junior fellow apprentice said, "It's really a bit unusual. No one came to take over the shift this time. It seems that it's not time for a shift change yet, so he went back first."

Yin Tianlu immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong with Bai's rice shop?"

The junior brother said, "It's late at night, and it's very quiet. There's nothing unusual."

Being able to become the leader into the Divine Fire Domain, Yin Tianlu was still alert enough. He stood up immediately, took out the mother-child talisman, and asked the stalkers set up along the way to report the situation.

Shi Chun was also quite vigilant.

Lao Changtai returned to Xunbaozhai and met with Chu Jingtang and Xiao Shengyi. After confirming the evacuation situation, he immediately carried out a test before the evacuation.

This was also what Shi Chun specifically reminded them in the message he sent, asking them to give it a try and see if they were being targeted.

Before leaving, the three of them cleared out all the goods in the shop. These were all goods obtained from Young Master Nan and were worth quite a bit of money. If they couldn't be sold, they should be returned to the owner, at least not thrown away for nothing.

Then the three of them quickly left the house.

After wandering around the streets and alleys, with the cooperation of the three of them, they found out that they were being targeted.

They found a nightclub stall on the street and ordered some food. Taking this opportunity, Chu Jingtang sent a message to Shi Chun: "Boss, we are being targeted, and we don't know who it is." He secretly put away the mother-child talisman in his sleeve, ate slowly, and waited for a reply.

What you fear will come true.

Shi Chun, who had already left the sacred mountain and was traveling underground with Wu Jinliang, patted Wu Jinliang on the shoulder and motioned him to go to the ground after reading the message about the mother-child talisman.

The two men quickly emerged from a forest of heart-wrapped grass.

"Chu Jingtang and the others are being targeted." Shi Chun said this and walked towards the stone slope in front of him, then jumped up.

The night breeze was cool. I looked up at the starry sky, counted on my fingers with my hands behind my back, and estimated the time when dawn would come over the city. It would probably be about an hour away.

Then he jumped onto the stone slope, glanced at the grasslands immersed in the sound of insects, and asked in a low voice: "Who is targeting us?"

Shi Chun asked back: "Who else can recognize them and target them now?"

Wu Jinliang came to a conclusion immediately after thinking about it. He cursed and said, "I'm afraid someone from the Jihuo Sect who has been to the Divine Fire Region has gone there. What should we do? Their strength may make it difficult for them to shake off their pursuit. Once they try to shake off, the Jihuo Sect will know that they have been exposed and will most likely arrest them directly. Should we go over and help them?"

Shi Chun looked down at his toes and murmured, "I'm afraid it's too late. Their unusual movements may have aroused the Jihuo Sect's vigilance. Whether to take action against them may be a matter of a moment. Once the Jihuo Sect determines that they have been exposed..."

Wu Jinliang quickly took out a mother-child talisman and said, "Bai Qiru, over at Dazhi City, only Bai Qiru's strength can help them."

Shi Chun turned his head and looked at him, "You have to think it through. If we run now, we may still have time to escape from Juku Island. After all, everyone still thinks we are still in Zhulang Pavilion. Once we rescue people, it means alerting the enemy. After the Jihuo Sect knows that it has been exposed, the current balance of forbearance among all parties will be immediately broken. By then, there will be more than just the Jihuo Sect who want to catch us and get to the bottom of it."

Wu Jinliang immediately understood what he meant. If they saved the people, it would be difficult for them to pass through the Xun Gate of Jukuzhou again.

He hesitated for a moment, "It's not appropriate not to save us. It doesn't matter if we can't get out for the time being. At most, we can stay here for a few more years and hide in the sacred mountain. Who can find us? If it doesn't work, let Lan'er and the other demons come to rescue us."

Seeing that he had decided to face the risk, Shi Chun stopped talking nonsense and immediately took the mother-child talisman in his hand and sent a message to Chu Jingtang, saying that it might have alerted the other party, and for safety reasons, he asked them to go to Bai's Rice Shop immediately to seek help.

Wu Jinliang wanted to use the mother-and-child talisman to greet Bai Qiru first, but Shi Chun held his hand and asked him to wait.

Chu Jingtang, who was eating at the stall, relayed the news to his two accomplices, quickly finished the food in his bowl, and then left at a leisurely pace.

The three of them appeared calm on the surface, but they were actually a little nervous inside. There were always some exciting days coming up, and sometimes they couldn't explain how it felt.

On the sacred mountain, Qiu Ben, who was meditating in a quiet room, also took out the mother-child talisman and frowned as he looked at the message sent from Dazhi City, saying that the three people from Xunbaozhai might have noticed that they were being watched and their behavior was a little abnormal, and asked whether they should be arrested directly.

Qiu Ben thought about the arrangements for the government office on the sacred mountain and replied: Watch him first, and if he is confirmed to run away, catch him immediately.

After hearing the news, he could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth in the house, occasionally muttering to himself, "Xunbaozhai, but dead fragrance, Shenshan resurrection tree..."

Knowing about Xunbaozhai, he naturally heard about the news about the 'Death-Resisting Incense' that Xunbaozhai had made before. He also couldn't help but associate it with the Soul-Restoring Tree on the Divine Mountain. He vaguely suspected that Shang Shichun's trip might be related to this.

Inside the city, Chu Jingtang and his two companions had already arrived at the entrance of Bai's rice shop and knocked on the door.

Yin Tianlu, who was behind a nearby window, had already been keeping an eye on them, wondering what these three were up to.

The shop assistant's frank voice came from the shop, "Who is it? Stop making noise. The rice shop opens at dawn."

Chu Jingtang said: "Gao He asked us to come find the boss lady."

Then the shop became quiet.

Bai Qiru, who was in the inner house, soon learned the news, and Wu Jinliang also received an inquiry message from Bai Qiru: three people came to the door, claiming to be sent by you.

Wu Jinliang, who had already discussed this with Shi Chun, immediately replied that the assistant who came to help was very important and was being targeted by the people from the Jihuo Sect. He asked them to find a way to secretly send him out of the city after daybreak and deliver him to Zhalanpo.

Bai Qiru did not refuse and asked about the progress of things over there. Wu Jinliang said that it would be almost done and they were just waiting for these three people to arrive.

Soon, the news that Chu Jingtang and the other two had entered the Bai's Rice Shop and had not come out for a long time reached Qiu Ben in Shenshan.

As Qiu Ben was pacing back and forth, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by the voice of his eldest disciple Huang Lang, "Master."

"Come in." Qiu Ben responded.

Huang Lang pushed the door open and walked in quickly. He came up to him, bowed, and reported: "The disciples from the Bai Clan sent me news that a group of people have gone down the mountain."

Qiu Ben was startled. "Why are you going down the mountain so late at night?"

Huang Lang shook his head. How could he know that?

Qiu Benli said: "Go ask Po Yuan."
