Chapter 296 1/3

After a temporary truce, a few leaders from Shudao Mountain invited Shi Chun aside for a talk.

This was all about the Divine Fire. To any Artifact Refiner who hadn't tasted the Divine Fire, this knot couldn't be easily untied.

Gu Lianni went straight to the point without beating around the bush, "Shi Chun, hand over those two Ice Flames first to us at Shudao Mountain."

Shi Chun's eyes widened, "Didn't we say that was in the past? Why bring it up again?"

Gu Lianni said, "I'm saying to give them to us first, not for free. Once we find the Divine Fire later, we'll compensate you first."

Shi Chun looked puzzled, "Why make it so complicated?"

Gu Lianni had her excuse ready, "Because of our cooperation with you, Shudao Mountain has suffered many casualties. It's hard to explain without seeing any benefits. Seeing tangible benefits ensures our cooperation can continue."
