Firefly Journey

"Look at this!"

Yang Ao proudly pulled out a string of prayer beads from his pocket and showed them off.

"What is this?" Li Baiye and Xiao Nonghuo asked. They had never seen this thing before and did not know what secrets it held.

Yang Ao glanced at them disdainfully and said, "This is a high-level magic artifact bestowed upon me by my master, called the 'Heaven-Covering Pearl.' It can be used to summon meteorites from outer space to directly annihilate enemies!"

Upon hearing this, Li Baiye and Xiao Nonghuo had extremely complicated expressions.

They had entered the sect much earlier than Yang Ao, and neither of them possessed such a treasure. They never expected that the Poison Fire Ancestor would be so biased, giving such a peerless treasure as the Heaven-Covering Pearl to Yang Ao.

For a moment, the two felt extremely resentful.

Yang Ao, on the other hand, was smug and pleased with himself.

See? I am Master's most favored disciple. You who entered the sect earlier are just his lackeys. Show me some respect in the future and don't act like senior brothers!

Situ Lang sat down again and entered a meditative state, offering no opinion, but his final look at Yang Ao was somewhat unusual.

The poor stray dog ​​was completely unaware of its own predicament; it truly deserved it.

……

……

Six months later, Lin Yuanran and his two companions appeared outside a magnificent palace.

At this time, a year had passed since the deer-hunting competition was held, and the three of them had been there for more than half a year.

They've had incredibly good luck in the last six months, acquiring five deer pearls. This blue palace is their destination.

There is likely a blue bead inside.

The three of them were outside the main hall and could hear the commotion inside. It seemed that someone had already gotten there first.

Feng Ling and Lin Yuanran worked together, one using soundproofing and concealment techniques, and the other using spatial teleportation. The three of them clearly observed everything inside the hall from the shadows.

The main hall was resplendent in gold and jade, with a dragon throne at the very front, upon which sat a blue jewel.

With such a treasure before them, no one dared to make a move.

Because of the complex situation inside the main hall, with multiple forces in a standoff, a temporary balance of power has been formed.

In the corner, Lin Yuanran spotted two familiar faces: Yan Jinglei, the senior disciple of the Star Moon Alliance, and Tang Shenglian from the Fire Cloud Sect.

They've also reached the Jade Pool Realm?

It seems that geniuses should not be underestimated.

However, judging from their positions, it's clear that although the two were able to enter the Deer Shooting Tournament, they didn't have much strength or influence; otherwise, they wouldn't have been sitting in the corner.

It seems that the blue treasure on the dragon throne has nothing to do with the two of them.

Seeing Lin Yuanran's gaze lingering on Yan Jinglei and the other person, Feng Ling lowered her voice and said with some amusement, "What's wrong? Can't you walk past an old friend?"

Lin Yuanran responded with a smile, "No, it's just that I'm feeling a bit sentimental. It's been three years since we left the Star Moon Alliance, and also three years since we left the Pan-Ancient Continent..."

Upon hearing him mention the Pan-Ancient Continent, Fengling was also intrigued. Compared to Lin Yuanran, she clearly had more ties to that world.

After all, Lin Yuanran transmigrated into the body of an orphan, and the only people he could be considered to have any connection with were those who were kind to him in the town, as well as his teacher Cassius and his classmates from Class 29.

The wind chimes are different.

Not only is her family intact, but her clan is also thriving. Her father's younger brothers are vying for the position of family head every day, and her cousins ​​are also causing trouble. It's as if they could be the subject of a family feud drama.

But Xu's parents were really good to her. Whenever she expressed her unwillingness to marry according to the family's arrangements, Xu Keli tried his best to persuade her, and Xu's mother comforted her every day.

How can you abandon parents like these?

Although their daughter had actually died from a hidden illness, after Fengling took over the family business, the soul named Diana became the same person as Xu Penglong. This was an undeniable fact.

Just as the two were reminiscing, the various factions in the main hall started arguing.

In the center stood a grinning young man in a loose Taoist robe. He bowed once in the circle and said:

"Everyone here is a prominent figure, and no one dares to step forward first, resulting in a stalemate."

However, this stalemate can't continue indefinitely. Why don't we each compromise and give our resources to the Taiping Sect? I, Liu Daode, will certainly remember this kindness.

They seem to be thinking of everyone's best interests, but in reality, they're abusing their power. Don't they know that the Taiping Sect is the largest sect in the Great Xia Dynasty?

Liu Daode was using these words to threaten everyone.

If you give in, the Taiping Sect will remember; if you don't, the Taiping Sect will remember even more. In the future, I will settle accounts with you!

Faced with such a behemoth as the Taiping Sect, most people hesitated. As Liu Daode said, they couldn't afford to offend the Taiping Sect.

However, not everyone is an easy target.

For example, as soon as Liu Daode finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out and glared at him angrily.

"Liu Daode, who do you think you are!"

"You really think your Taiping Sect is invincible? I, Guo Hujun, am not afraid of you!"

Liu Daode was not angry. He went up the mountain and bowed, saying, "So you are Fellow Daoist Guo from the Beast Taming Sect. My apologies for my rudeness."

Guo Hujun snorted and ignored him.

Liu Daode's eyes turned cold as he said, "They say the North is superior to the South, and I certainly can't beat you, Guo Hujun. But don't forget, my senior brother is also in the Deer Shooting Space. If we really clash, you won't get the better of him either."

It's not just that you can't gain any advantage!

Liu Daode didn't give a definitive answer because he wanted to save face for Guo Hujun. Although the two were equally famous, Ling Jinghong was the number one genius in the last hundred years, with few rivals. Guo Hujun had fought against him many times but had never won once. He was almost driven to depression by the beatings!

Upon hearing Ling Jinghong's name, Guo Hujun felt somewhat uneasy, but his inherent pride wouldn't allow him to bow his head.

"Then let Ling Jinghong come over here, and see if I, Guo, am afraid of him!"

Behind him, a woman gazed at him with tender affection. It was his Daoist companion, Sima Yiyi.

Liu Daode stopped trying to persuade him. It seemed that Guo Hujun was going to suffer the consequences of his words. It was only because his senior brother liked to be alone that he was in trouble!

However, even without Ling Jinghong, Guo Hujun has no say here!

Liu Daode waved his hand, and a group of people appeared around the Taiping Sect. These people were allies of the Taiping Sect.

Guo Hujun's face immediately turned ugly. Even he couldn't fight against so many people at the same time.

Lin Yuanran looked at the scene and was stunned for a moment. Wait, why are there familiar faces here again?

The Yantian Sect was also an ally of the Taiping Sect. Jin Chuan and Jiang Qingling, whose heads had been burned by Lin Yuan, were now following behind Liu Daode, swaggering around.

I didn't see Su Ning. I suppose with his talent, he'll never reach the Jade Pool Realm in his lifetime.

Lin Yuanran noticed that Jin Chuan and Jiang Qingling's gazes were fixed on the corner, their eyes filled with provocation as they looked at Yan Jinglei.

They even made sarcastic remarks.

"Weren't you Star Moon Alliance supposed to be very powerful? You even dared to rob my Yantian Sect of resources. What, now you can only cower on the sidelines like a dog?"

Jin Chuan used telepathy, but he didn't mute it. He wanted everyone to hear it so as to humiliate Yan Jinglei.

Jiang Qingling also grimaced and snorted coldly at Yan Jinglei and the other person.

Yan Jinglei frowned.

Normally, Jin Chuan, that good-for-nothing, would be begging for mercy with a single sword strike, but not today.

He found a good father!
