Firefly Journey

It was clearly a ridiculous fabrication, but Yuan Qingping and the others believed it easily and without a doubt.

You have to believe it. Lin Yuanran's attack was too abnormal. He swept away a large area. If he didn't have a great opportunity, it just wouldn't make sense.

Even though Lin Yuanran's account was a bit outrageous, this was, after all, the cultivation world, and nothing was surprising. They could only envy him in their hearts, thinking, "This guy is so lucky. Why didn't such a great opportunity fall into my lap?"

Meng Buzheng was seething with hatred. Why?! Why?! Why could a mere kid like him get a heavenly book just by falling off a cliff, while he, who had worked diligently and conscientiously for so many years, was still inferior to him? Thinking about this, Meng Buzheng felt extremely unbalanced, and his eyes blazed with even more fire when he looked at Lin Yuanran.

Lin Yuanran saw his reaction but didn't pay attention to it. If this guy hadn't drawn his sword against the Yantian Sect disciple instead of running away, Lin Yuanran would have taught him a lesson long ago.

It seems that the Star Moon Alliance does a better job in terms of collective honor. Meng Buzheng may look down on new disciples, but when faced with external enemies, he can still temporarily put aside his prejudices and unite against them.

“Junior Brother Ario, I think we should leave as soon as possible,” Yuan Qingping said with a frown. “Those Yantian Sect disciples have been humiliated by us and must be extremely unhappy. They might go back to get reinforcements.”

"The Qinling Mountains are the territory of the Yantian Sect, and the Cloud Dew Fruit is a rare item. I'm worried..."

"Senior sister, don't worry." Lin Yuanran smiled slightly. "What kind of reinforcements do you think that Su Ning can bring?"

"This……"

Lin Yuanran said, "The Yantian Sect, like my Star Moon Alliance, is a prestigious and righteous sect in the cultivation world. On the surface, we are just new generation disciples. Even if someone comes to seek revenge, they will only be young disciples of their sect."

Despite the interference of the gods, the cultivation world of the Great Xia Dynasty was not actually that cruel and unbearable. At least on the surface, the major sects maintained a polite relationship with each other.

In the eyes of the elders in the sect, the grudge between Lin Yuanran and others and Su Ning and others was nothing more than a fight between children. The loser went back to complain, and even if the adults were indignant, they would not personally intervene.

At most, they will send some highly skilled new generation disciples to get revenge.

Of course, this is under the condition that there is only a minor friction between the two sides. If Lin Yuanran had not only taught Su Ning and the others a small lesson, but had directly killed them, then the nature of the matter would be different. Yantian Sect would definitely pursue them to the end at all costs.

Lin Yuanran had no deep-seated hatred for the other party, so he only needed to teach them a lesson and naturally wouldn't really do anything to them.

Even if some shameless elder in their sect were to personally intervene, Lin Yuanran wouldn't be too afraid. He was not without the ability to fight against a Jade Pool Realm expert. Even if he couldn't win, he could use Phase Shift to escape with everyone.

Now that we have the Dry Land Black Tortoise, and with the Cloud Dew Fruit as an aid, we can go back to the sect and find a few other materials that aren't so rare, and then we can start refining pills.

If we were to yield and give up, handing over this Cloud Dew Fruit to someone else, and then go looking for a new fruit tree and Red Bloom, when would that be?

Now that Lin Yuanran possesses extraordinary strength, he no longer needs to be as cautious as before, and he will no longer hold back when it's time to act.

Yuan Qingping wanted to say more, but Lin Yuanran patted his chest and guaranteed that if those Yantian Sect disciples dared to attack again, he would definitely make them suffer a great defeat.

Faced with Lin Yuanran's unwavering confidence, the group believed him somewhat and decided to stay, hoping to use the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree to lure Hongxuan. Of course, without the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree and Hongxuan in front of them, making them reluctant to leave, Lin Yuanran's empty promises alone might not have achieved the same effect.

Lin Yuanran didn't know much about Hongxuan. His biological knowledge was sufficient for the Pan-Ancient Continent, after all, he had studied it for several years. As for Earth, he had only been back for a short time and didn't really know much about exotic beasts and spiritual plants.

Since the group had taken on the task, they must have done their homework. Yuan Qingping said, "Let's not touch the fruit on the tree yet. Let's use it all to lure Hongxuan."

Everyone agreed with this.

A normal Cloud Dew Fruit tree would never bear only one fruit. Keeping all six fruits increases its allure, making it more likely that the Red Phoenix will willingly fall into its trap.

Actually, there's another reason, which Yuan Qingping didn't say, but everyone knows.

In case the disciples of Yantian Sect return seeking revenge, leaving these fruits behind will at least earn them some goodwill. Out of respect for the Star Moon Alliance, they probably won't be too harsh on us.

After some discussion, the group quickly finalized the details of bird fishing.

There aren't really any details to discuss. The group should stay a distance away and observe quietly. When Hongxuan arrives, they should be able to easily take her down using the traps and techniques they've set up beforehand, as well as a surprise attack, provided that Hongxuan's cultivation level isn't too high.

After setting up around the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree, the Star Moon Alliance members retreated into the distant dense forest. What followed was a long wait; they hoped that Hongxuan would take the bait.

……

……

Bald-headed Su Ning rode his sword relentlessly, his face full of resentment, rampaging through the sect's interior as fast as he could towards the mountain where his sect was located.

Feeling so humiliated, his first thought was to complain to his master, but then he realized that his master was usually busy with cultivation and wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. He might even be called a good-for-nothing. So Su Ning quickly dismissed the idea.

If it doesn't work out with their master, Su Ning has other options.

His senior sister, Jiang Qingling, was usually very kind to her junior brothers and sisters and extremely protective of them. If he went to find her this time, she would definitely not ignore him.

Suning went up the mountain and met his senior sister feeding cranes by a cliff.

With a thud, Su Ning slid down to her knees from a great distance.

"Senior sister! You have to stand up for me!"

Jiang Qingling patted the crane's head, looked at the person in front of her suspiciously, and frowned, saying, "Su Ning?"

"Senior sister, it's me, Su Ning!"

"You... went down the mountain to get your hair done?"

"No... Today, I was patrolling the mountain with several disciples as usual when we were ambushed by thieves. If he had killed me, that would have been one thing, but he didn't. Not only did he not kill me, he also made me look like this. It's clearly an insult to me!"

“My personal honor or disgrace is nothing, but that thief’s actions clearly show that he doesn’t respect my Yantian Sect. Senior Sister, you must stand up for me!”

"Such a thing is true?" Jiang Qingling's eyes turned cold. She knew Su Ning's personality well. This guy might exaggerate, but he wouldn't fabricate facts out of thin air. Someone actually dared to attack the disciples of Yantian Sect in Qinling. What audacity!

"Lead the way, I'm going to meet that thief."

Overjoyed, Su Ning quickly stood up and walked ahead, intending to return to the Cloud Dew Fruit Tree.

Just as the two were about to draw their swords, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance. As the figure drew closer, seeing their hurried manner, the figure asked them a question.

"Qingqing, Junior Brother Su, where are you going?"
