Firefly Journey

as a result of?

Is this junior sister threatening me?

Ao Yue almost laughed.

Fengling's words were full of disrespect; what gave her the right?

But upon closer reflection, Ao Yue could no longer laugh. Back on the mountain path, Lin Yuanran's punch had truly caused her pain. She asked herself honestly, if both of them had suppressed their cultivation levels to the Foundation Establishment stage, who would have won in a fight?

Ao Yue already knew the answer in her heart.

Even if she reveals her true form, it won't work.

The terror of that punch can only be truly understood by those who have experienced it firsthand. And that punch wasn't some kind of magical technique or magic; it was simply a punch imbued with fire-attribute magic.

In other words, if someone throws a casual punch, within the same realm, she wouldn't even be able to retaliate.

Ao Yue dared not underestimate these two people; she had realized a terrifying truth. If she could suppress her cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage to earn spirit stones, then why couldn't others impersonate Qi Refining stage cultivators to infiltrate the Star Moon Alliance?

Ao Yue calmed herself down and said, "I don't care who you are, but this is the Star Moon Alliance. You'd better tell me where you're from, otherwise..."

Ao Yue's eyes turned cold: "A sect as large as this will never allow spies to infiltrate!"

Feng Ling calmly said, "A spy? That's not wrong."

Ao Yue was taken aback. "So you really are a spy? How dare you say that so openly?"

"However, I am a spy unlike any other spy you might think of. I am a spy from there."

The wind chime extended its index finger and pointed towards the roof.

She certainly wasn't referring to the ceiling, and Ao Yue wouldn't have assumed she was. Suddenly, this girl from the dragon clan realized something, and her gaze towards the wind chimes became even more shocked.

After a few seconds, she slowly said, "You...work for your superiors?"

"Mmm." Feng Ling smiled. If she didn't know Ao Yue's background, she wouldn't have spoken so bluntly. The reason she could say it so openly was that she was certain Ao Yue wouldn't tell anyone.

During her time in Great Xia, she not only learned Chinese, but also became quite familiar with various Eastern myths and legends.

The surname Ao means dragon. Since ancient times, dragons and humans have lived together on Earth, benefiting each other and continuing to this day.

In many myths and legends, dragons, along with land gods, mountain gods, and so on, are collectively known as earth immortals, serving as subordinates of the Heavenly Court and running errands for the Heavenly Court to manage the human world.

But that's just a myth. In reality, gods cannot interfere with the human world. They can only maintain their status by supporting human sects and gaining the power of faith.

The so-called land gods and mountain gods do not exist in this world, but the Dragon Palace does exist. They are not earth immortals, but families similar to cultivation families.

The Great Xia Dragon Clan is divided into four branches: the four seas and four palaces in the east, west, south, and north. Ao Yue is the daughter of the South Sea Dragon King, who was sent to the Star Moon Alliance by the old dragon king to cultivate.

Ao Yue's background was told to Feng Ling by Lin Yuanran, and Lin Yuanran's source of information was naturally that mysterious group chat. With so many big shots in the group, a few kind words from them could provide as much information as needed.

The ultimate dream of any cultivator in the mortal realm is undoubtedly to ascend to the Heavenly Court and receive offerings of incense. Ao Yue was no exception, and she held the Heavenly Court above her head in awe.

She asked with some suspicion, "You say you are a treacherous... messenger of Heaven, do you have any evidence?"

Wind Chime shook her head: "No, you don't have to believe me, but what I want to say is that Ario and I have no ill intentions. Our infiltration of the Star Moon Alliance was at the behest of Wang Lingguan..."

Fengling didn't hide anything. To a dragon like Ao Yue, telling her everything would gain her trust more. After all, she was the offspring of the old dragon king, and her knowledge was far superior to that of a hermit cultivator.

In fact, Ao Yue believed most of it when Feng Ling mentioned the name Wang Lingguan. Having spent her childhood by her father's side, the old dragon often discussed matters of the Heavenly Court, and the name Wang Lingguan frequently appeared among them.

As the first general before the Jade Emperor, many things in Heaven are related to Him.

After Fengling finished speaking, Ao Yue believed almost everything.

"If that's the case, then I have no more doubts. I'd like to ask, what realm have you and your Daoist partner reached now?"

The wind chime extends three fingers.

Ao Yue was shocked. The Upper Three Realms?

"Can you be specific?"

Feng Ling said, "Both he and I are in the Void Realm."

Thanks to their cultivation in the other world, the two of them possessed formidable realms upon their return. Lin Yuanran was at the early stage of the Void Travel realm, while Feng Ling was much stronger than him back in the Pan-Ancient Continent. The same was true after their return; Feng Ling is now at the mid-stage of the Void Travel realm.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yue was even more horrified!

Even someone as strong as Yan Jinglei, the leading young genius of Jiangdong, is only at the late stage of the Void Realm, and that's after he has diligently cultivated for nearly a hundred years.

Yes, the definition of youth in the spiritual realm is different from that in the mortal world.

As for Feng Ling and the other two, they were young in the mortal sense. At such a young age, they had already reached the Void Travel Realm. What kind of monsters were they?

This has never happened in a thousand years!

"Senior sister, I've said my piece. What you do is your business, but I advise you that if you ruin something big for the higher-ups, even your Dragon King father will have to think twice about the consequences." Feng Ling's words carried a hint of intimidation.

Ao Yue said, "I understand. Not only will I not say anything, but I can also help you with your tasks."

She smiled and said, "After all, I've never met anyone like you before. It wouldn't hurt to make a good connection. As for those missing women you mentioned, I haven't heard of them, but I can assure you that it has nothing to do with Erlai Peak. Our master's true form is a peacock, which is extremely proud and has a fastidious nature. It wouldn't do such a despicable thing."

Feng Ling nodded gently. She had been at Erlai Peak for more than three months and had seen the way Qingque Daoist behaved. She could minimize the suspicion against Erlai Peak.

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Sister."

"We're from the same sect, why be so polite?"

Ao Yue warmly put her arm around her shoulder.

Feng Ling frowned slightly, but didn't try to avoid it; she was thinking of some old friends.

Being held by a dragon's claw... why does this seem so familiar?

I wonder how Paninger and the others are doing.

……

……

Using the jade tablet to communicate, Yuan Qingping and the others quickly arrived at the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree where Lin Yuanran was.

Looking at the crystal-clear fruit, everyone's eyes lit up. This mission went exceptionally smoothly. It was only the second day, and they had already obtained the Cloud Dew Fruit!

However, the quantity is quite subtle...

First of all, you definitely need one to fish for red snapper, so this one can't be counted. As for the remaining five, it's actually not easy to divide them.

The task description clearly stated that the three Cloud Dew Fruits and the Red String were required to be delivered together for them to be useful. This was all Lin Yuanran's fault; he forgot about this when he embezzled them, leaving five to share among everyone, but unexpectedly, it made things difficult for everyone.

After removing four, two are left. There are five people in the group, so it's not easy to divide them. We can't just crush them, juice them, and weigh them...

The group soon stopped worrying about it.

A group of cultivators dressed in Taoist robes arrived in the dense forest. Judging from their appearance, they should be disciples of the Yantian Sect.
