Firefly Journey

Chapter 351 A Gathering of Scoundrels (7)

Lin Yuanran and Chi Liuzi continued to wander around the tomb, observing the movements of the various cultivators.

Among cultivators, there are indeed capable individuals. One of them used the methods of geomancy and geomancy to deduce the location of the treasure. After the switch was triggered, a broad road suddenly appeared in the northeast of the ancient tomb.

Unfortunately, that person only knew how to deduce feng shui and his cultivation was not high. After triggering the hidden passage, before he could even step in, several gusts of wind swept past, leaving him firmly behind.

Lin Yuanran watched the figures disappear quickly and asked, "Sister Zi, should we go? I know a little about teleportation, so I shouldn't be slower than them."

"No rush," Chi Liuzi smiled. "If I'm not mistaken, those people who flashed by just now were Yan Jinglei from the Star Moon Alliance, Tang Shenglian from the Fire Cloud Sect, Xiong Chu from the Vajra Gate, and Mu Jiaoluan, who spoke to us."

"They're just like us, waiting for someone to be their vanguard. That rogue cultivator is just unlucky. Let's go take a look."

Three days? It seems it won't take that long.

"Ok."

The two did not use any tricks; they simply walked forward and remained behind most of the people in line.

The cultivator who opened the hidden passage was knocked to the ground by the gale force of the four from the great sect. He only staggered to his feet after Lin Yuanran and the other person had passed by, his eyes filled with disappointment.

He paved the way, but in the end, it benefited others. No one would feel good about that.

Just as he was about to stand up and enter with the others, someone patted the back of his head, and he slipped and fell to the ground again.

The instigators were a group of robust young men, each with broad shoulders and thick waists, who stood with their hands on their hips, mocking and laughing at the fallen rogue cultivator.

The rogue cultivator struggled to his feet again, and said in a trembling voice, "Senior brothers, the Treasure Hunting Avenue has already opened. Why waste time here? Hurry up and go treasure hunting!"

The rogue cultivator was sensible enough to realize that judging from the physique and uniforms of this group, they were mostly from the Vajra Sect. As a rogue cultivator, he was naturally no match for them and could only swallow his anger when he was bullied, thinking about how to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xiong Dian, the leader of this group from the Vajra Sect, was very impatient.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare," the rogue cultivator quickly apologized.

"Heh, if apologies were enough, what would be the point of cultivation?" Xiong Dian revealed a cruel smile. "You ant, do you even deserve to call me senior brother?"

As he spoke, Xiong Dian used a secret technique from his sect, his right arm instantly becoming as thick as a mountain, and he raised his hand to strike. If this blow had landed on that rogue cultivator, he would have been severely injured, if not killed. The rogue cultivator was terrified.

The bear's arm did not land on the rogue cultivator.

A slender arm pinched it.

With a gentle flip, Chi Liuzi twisted Xiong Dian's thick arm, lifting him off the ground.

He was then slammed to the ground, and the people inside rushed to help him up.

Chi Liuzi dusted off her hands and said, "People say that the Vajra Sect are all humanoid creatures with strength but no brains. It's true, they are all useless!"

"You!" Xiong Dian was furious and tried to point at it, but found that his right arm was in excruciating pain, as if it had been broken.

"Who are you to dare insult my Vajra Sect like this!"

Chi Liuzi sneered, "This young lady does not change her name or surname; I am Yan Jinglei of the Star Moon Alliance."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Yan Jinglei is a man!"

"Aren't you stupid? I've told you before, every single one of you in the Vajra Sect is a piece of trash!"

Chi Liuzi didn't hold back in her sarcastic remarks.

"Very well, you are indeed capable. I'd like to see how long you can remain arrogant." Xiong Dian's face was filled with anger.

"Come help me up. I'm going to send a message to my older brother and tell him to teach this woman a lesson!"

Chi Liuzi continued to sneer: "Your brother? He's a good-for-nothing too. If you ask me, stop dawdling and just call your sect leader over. I'm too lazy to wait for all this calling people up from one level to the next."

"You will regret this!"

After uttering his final harsh words, the men of the Vajra Sect slunk away, carrying Xiong Dian away.

The rogue cultivator, relieved to be saved, bowed deeply to the two men, saying, "Thank you both, fellow Daoists. If it weren't for you, I might have..."

Chi Liuzi waved her hand: "No need to thank me. These big sects are used to being arrogant and domineering. When they encounter someone tough, they lose their confidence. I've seen plenty of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong."

Lin Yuanran said, "Fellow Daoist, are you injured? I would like to offer a word of advice: the people from the Vajra Sect are still in the ancient tomb. They can't defeat my sister, but if they encounter you again, they might take their anger out on you. In my humble opinion, you would better leave as soon as possible."

The rogue cultivator nodded hastily: "That's exactly what I was thinking. Farewell!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After the rogue cultivator left, Lin Yuanran said, "Aren't there elders from the Vajra Sect watching over us? Won't we suffer retaliation for treating their disciples like this?"

"Don't worry, it was the Vajra Sect that started this trouble. If they can't even handle this little bit of grievance, then the Vajra Sect should just shut down as soon as possible."

Chi Liuzi paused for a moment, then said, "Besides, I wasn't lying. Even if the Vajra Sect were to send out its entire force, it would only end up with the complete annihilation of its sect."

Lin Yuanran knew where her courage came from and had no doubt about the truth of her words. He followed her in silence for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence:

"Domineering!"

……

Above the ancient tomb, the clouds were ablaze with fire.

Chu Muyu smiled and said, "Old Ghost Fan, it's hilarious that your disciples tried to bully others but ended up being bullied themselves. Aren't you going to step in and help them get revenge?"

Fan Cai opened his slightly narrowed eyes wide: "That's because he's a good-for-nothing, he deserves to be humiliated. Didn't you recognize that woman in purple? She's the Purple Flow Fairy who's been making waves in the Great Xia cultivation world in recent years. She has a true god backing her up, so it's best not to provoke her."

Chu Muyu sneered: "Only an old ghost like you is afraid of a mere rogue cultivator. That woman in purple is not bad in terms of cultivation and appearance. If she were to join my sect... tsk tsk, just thinking about it is exciting!"

A greedy glint appeared in Chu Muyu's eyes, as if she had spotted her prey.

Qingxiao Daoist suddenly spoke up: "Fairy Chu, I advise you not to have any unnecessary thoughts. If you are not careful, your Extreme Ice Valley's foundation of hundreds of years will be destroyed in an instant."

"Wow!" Chu Muyu took two steps, placed her hand on Qingxiao Daoist's shoulder, and slowly stroked down. "Senior Brother Qingxiao is so considerate of me, I am so touched."

Daoist Qingxiao remained calm: "This is just a friendly reminder from Daoist Fan and me. Whether you listen or not is up to you. If you really cause trouble, we will not interfere."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking."

Chu Muyu laughed heartily, but the greed in her eyes remained undiminished.

……

Deep within the ancient tomb, there is a slow-flowing river of mercury.

On the riverbank, none of the four young men and women made any rash moves.

On the north side of the river, there is a huge statue. The statue wears a Taoist crown, holds a whisk, and has a long beard that reaches his chest. It should be the fallen expert at the Divine Realm.

The bear opened its palm, and a jade talisman appeared.

After reading it, a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"You dare hit my own brother?! Don't you have a death wish?!"
