Firefly Journey

Those lifeless eyes showed no glimmer of light even when they saw Feng Ling and the other person.

Now, they have lost the meaning of life and are nothing more than walking corpses.

The wind chimes watched them silently, then grew angry.

At any time, in any place, no one has the right to arbitrarily rewrite another person's life for their own selfish desires.

Especially since the wind chime had experienced something like that.

Summoned to another world, she gained a prestigious status and the magic that everyone longed for, but Wind Chime never thanked Blawich. The long ten years she spent in that other world were the loneliest part of her life.

Even if Death had its reasons, and even if He made amends for His mistakes, the effects still occurred.

Having gone through similar experiences, and considering what she's witnessing now, anger is the right attitude.

Looking at the pitiful girls, Fengling said, "I know none of you are here willingly. If you want to regain your freedom, come with me now."

Things were worse than they had imagined. The desperate girls didn't even dare to think about running away. They timidly looked at the wind chimes, longing to leave.

However, Chu Muyu's long-term abuse had altered their subconscious, making them afraid to resist from the bottom of their hearts.

Feng Ling frowned. It seemed that Mu Jiaoluan was in a relatively good situation, at least she could think of saving herself, while these people had been completely trained into slaves.

Just as Fengling was feeling disappointed, a girl who was also scantily clad came out.

She was petite and her eyes were filled with fear, but her desire for freedom overcame her fear and made her stand up.

"Are you...are you here to save us?"

Feng Ling was taken aback. This girl...

"Your name is Hua Zhi?"

The thin little girl was taken aback for a moment, then stammered, "Yes, I am. How do you know me..."

Feng Ling smiled and said, "I am the disciple of Qingque Daoist of Erlai Peak. When you suddenly disappeared, Senior Sister Yuan was very anxious and searched for you everywhere."

“She found Ario, and I have come here to find you.”

She couldn't go around talking about Wang Lingguan's request.

Hua Zhi was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I..."

"Senior sister, I know you are very excited and curious about how an ordinary disciple like me could come to save you all by myself."

"Don't ask anything. I'm on the same side as Ario. All you need to know is that you're saved."

Feng Ling looked at the pitiful girls: "I'm saying this for the last time. If you don't want to live like animals anymore, come with me now. Otherwise, stay in this hell forever."

After saying that, Fengling turned and left.

Mu Jiaoluan hesitated, but followed Chu Muyu out. Helping an outsider open the stone chamber door meant Chu Muyu wouldn't treat her well; there was no turning back now.

When Hua Zhi heard that he was from the same sect, her eyes immediately lit up and regained their luster.

The three women walked out of the cave one after another. When the poor girls saw that Feng Ling was really gone, they all seemed a little anxious.

Finally, they made up their minds. The second person went out, followed by the third, the fourth...

Everyone went outside!

Feng Ling breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they hadn't really been brainwashed after all.

As the group left the cave, an unexpected event occurred!

A strong wind blew in my face, as if carrying a raging fire!

An angry voice came from the sky.

"Very well, my good disciple, you've grown quite capable, daring to collude with outsiders to ruin my plans!"

Hearing Chu Muyu's harsh words, Mu Jiaoluan's heart skipped a beat, filled with indescribable fear. But what's done is done; she couldn't go back to being a dog. She steeled her resolve:

"You old hag! If it weren't for your tyranny, how could I have willingly served you? Now I've come to my senses and I'm determined to be your mortal enemy!!"

After saying those harsh words, she looked at the wind chimes.

There was no other way; she couldn't possibly deal with Chu Muyu on her own, and the wind chimes were her lifeline.

"You've really grown up, daring to talk to me like that!"

Chu Muyu suddenly appeared in mid-air in front of the cave. Her clothes were disheveled, and her private parts were almost exposed. Not long ago, she was engaged in dual cultivation with the emaciated former Valley Master, but she unexpectedly triggered the restriction left in the cave. That's why she rushed back. She didn't care about her appearance and just threw on some clothes.

“Diana.” Chu Muyu stared intently at the wind chime, “I originally intended to nurture you for a while, hoping to subtly influence you to accept my unique dual cultivation method, but I didn’t expect you to have known from the very beginning…”

"what!!!"

Just as Chu Muyu was rambling on, Feng Ling suddenly attacked, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, severing her left arm!

The severed arm fell into the mud, blood gushing out incessantly, causing Chu Muyu to scream in agony.

"Are you always this talkative?"

……

……

At the Fire Cloud Sect, the grand formation had been in place for quite some time. Lin Yuanran noticed that Tang Wujie and other high-ranking members of the sect at the forefront of the formation were focused entirely on suppressing the volcano and had no time to spare for anything else.

Lin Yuanran's lips curled up; the opportunity had arrived.

Just as he was about to teleport directly to seize the treasure with lightning speed, an unexpected event occurred.

Outside the great formation, dozens of figures appeared in a flash!

Those figures didn't wear uniforms, but they all had fierce expressions.

What's coming will come sooner or later. The Fire Cloud Sect has oppressed rogue cultivators for many years, creating a lot of enmity. Those rogue cultivators also know that the Fire Cloud Sect needs to suppress the volcanic eruption on a specific day.

So they came here specifically to seek revenge!

"Tang Wujie, get the hell out here!"

The leader of those people was a man with long, fiery red hair and scars on his face, which looked like they had been burned by fire.

"Yang Ao, you beast, how dare you come back!"

Elder Zheng Bafang, the Dharma Protector, led a group of Dharma Protector disciples into the air to confront the helpers brought by Yang Ao.

"Back then, our sect leader treated you like his own son, but you, you beast, have forgotten our kindness and stolen our sect's secret techniques to escape!" Zheng Bafang accused.

"Hahaha!" Yang Ao laughed wildly. "I only spied on my junior sister while she was bathing because I admired her. That old dog thought I had defiled his daughter, so he subjected me to the torture of being burned alive, and even wanted to castrate me!"

"With a master like this, and a sect like this, why would I stay and let you play me to death?!"

Zheng Bafang cursed, "You beast! You're a real beast!"

"Lian'er doesn't like you. You've made a terrible mistake and are morally corrupt. Lian'er even had to plead for you afterwards. You're so ungrateful!"

"Further words are useless!" Yang Ao said, narrowing his eyes. "Today, I have established the Fire Extermination Alliance, leading all the rogue cultivators who have been exploited by your Fire Cloud Sect over the years to destroy your dog sect and appease the world!"

"I see you are courting death!"

"Whether you're courting death or not, you'll find out soon enough. Brothers of the Fire-Extinguishing Alliance, charge!!"

"Fire Cloud Sect disciples, heed my command! Follow me to confront this ungrateful traitor!"

For a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, fighting to a standstill.

Lin Yuanran hadn't expected things to develop this way, and couldn't help but feel that he had gotten a great deal. With the Fire-Exorcising Alliance holding back those Dharma Protectors, he faced less resistance in seizing the Seven Flame Lotus.
