Firefly Journey

Chapter 349 A Gathering of Scoundrels (5)

As the two chatted, more and more people gathered at the top of the mountain, and eventually, the spacious mountaintop terrace became somewhat crowded.

call!

A strong wind was blowing in the air.

From the clouds, a flying machine slowly approached, but it was not a traditional airplane shape; instead, it was an oval-shaped object resembling a flying saucer.

The enormous flying machine occupied half the sky, and its reflection obscured the entire mountaintop. Many independent cultivators were dumbfounded, marveling at its magnificent grandeur.

Even the sect disciples who had eaten coarse food for a while showed expressions of envy on their faces.

Chi Liuzi was alright, her eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly plotting how she was going to cause trouble later. Lin Yuanran was also alright; having witnessed the magnificent grandeur of the Pan-Ancient Continent, this level of flying ship was not enough to stir any waves in his heart.

The "flying saucer" slowly descended until it was level with the cliff.

The hatch opened, and a group of people got out.

These people were all dressed in blue and white uniforms, and each of them looked proud, thoroughly enjoying the envious glances cast at them from all directions.

Once this group landed, all the major sects participating in the treasure hunt would be present, marking the official start of their entry into the tomb.

As for the independent cultivators at the foot of the mountain or halfway up the mountain, who cares about you? Blame yourself for arriving late.

Within the Fire Cloud Sect, a burly old man with white hair and beard emerged. With a wave of his hand, crimson energy surged above Songhua Mountain. Immediately afterward, an invisible barrier formed to ensure that no outsiders would enter during this treasure hunt.

Then, the burly old man put on a smiling face and went to greet the person in charge of the major sect.

"Brother Qingxiao, how have you been?"

"The Fairy of Twilight Rain is still so beautiful."

"Brother Fan, how many osmanthus trees in your Vajra Sect have bloomed this year?"

"Enough with the nonsense. We're here to protect our juniors in their quest for treasure, not to reminisce with you!" Elder Fan of the Vajra Sect showed no mercy.

Elder Zheng Bafang of the Fire Cloud Sect was not angry. He treated it as if a dog was barking. His enthusiasm remained unchanged. He then said to the other two elders of the major sects, "You see, the people of the Vajra Sect are just too irritable. You two shouldn't be in such a hurry, right?"

Chu Muyu, the fairy from the frigid ice valley, covered her face and smiled charmingly: "Brother Zheng, what are you saying? Only Fan Cai is so impatient, he seems more like a member of the Fire Cloud Sect than you."

My Extreme Cold Ice Valley is weak and isolated, and has always cooperated with your Fire Cloud Sect. This time, you are the masters in this treasure hunt, and I am at your beck and call.

Chu Muyu spoke in a delicate, trembling voice, like a young girl in her late teens, but it was not offensive; instead, it had a unique charm.

Especially when she speaks, she deliberately sways from side to side, her whole body trembling, her flamboyant appearance sparking all sorts of fantasies.

The three men present were all old monsters who had lived for decades or even centuries, and possessed extraordinary self-control. How could they be fooled by such a low-level honey trap? Each of them showed disdain.

Qingxiao Daoist of the Star Moon Alliance stroked his beard and smiled, "Fairy Chu is right. Today, your Fire Cloud Sect is the host. We are just here to share the spoils. Brother Zheng, please make the arrangements."

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll get right to my decisive and efficient nature!"

After saying this, Zheng Bafang took a step back, stretched out his right hand towards the sky, and a ball of fire cloud immediately landed at the feet of the four people, then continued to rise until it flew into the sky before stopping.

The elders of the other three sects looked down and realized they had already left the isolation array. The top of Songhua Mountain had become the entrance to an ancient tomb.

Inside the barrier, Zheng Bafang's words reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, whether you are a disciple of one of the four major sects of Jiangdong or an unknown rogue cultivator, we have gathered here today for the sake of the world-renowned opportunity of that senior in the Divine Realm."

"Let me make this clear from the start: this blessed land originally belonged to my Fire Cloud Sect. Our Sect Master is kind and has allowed you all to come and share in the benefits. Where there are people, there is conflict; where there are treasures, there is strife. I hope everyone will act with discretion and avoid causing any deaths."

"I, along with Fellow Daoist Qingxiao, Fairy Muyu, and Fellow Daoist Fan, are constantly monitoring from above. If any of us cause a death, don't blame us old folks for being ruthless."

After he finished speaking, many voices of discussion arose inside the barrier, but most of them took steps and headed towards the entrance of the ancient tomb.

Chi Liuzi sneered, "That old dog from the Fire Cloud Sect makes it sound nice, but if no one is killed, he's probably only targeting rogue cultivators, right?"

If disciples of the four major sects commit murder, they will definitely abuse their power and break the law; that's always been their nature.

Lin Yuanran agreed, saying that once a person has power, they will not follow the rules with the weak, because the weak have no right to follow the rules.

"Come with me, I'll take you to do something big and teach those four major sects of Jiangdong a lesson!" Chi Liuzi said excitedly.

Lin Yuanran nodded happily and followed Chi Liuzi away. It seemed that this trip to the ancient tomb was destined to be lively.

Upon entering the tomb, Lin Yuanran was taken aback. Among the rogue cultivators who had entered before him, many were holding up their phones with clappers and talking animatedly to the screens, seemingly live-streaming.

Lin Yuanran asked, "Sister Zi, is it okay to do a live stream from here?!"

“Of course,” Chi Liuzi said. “Cultivation also needs to keep up with the times. Whenever a treasure appears in the world, some qualified people will choose to live stream it in real time. However, the audience is only for cultivators, and ordinary people can’t see it.”

Lin Yuanran thought to himself, "They can even do that? These cultivators these days really know how to have fun." He then asked, "Who started that live-streaming platform...?"

"Taiping Zong."

"Taipingzong?"

"Yes, the Taiping Sect is the largest cultivation sect in the Great Xia territory. The sect headquarters is near the Great Wall. I've heard it's there, but I've never been there."

“Okay, I was just ignorant,” Lin Yuanran said.

Chi Liuzi laughed and said, "It's not your fault. Blame your master who never tells you anything."

Lin Yuanran gave an awkward smile.

……

Above the fiery clouds, the elders of the four major sects stood in four directions, forming a circle.

Qingxiao Daoist glanced at the crowd in the ancient tomb and said, "If I remember correctly, that girl is Tang Shenglian, the daughter of your Fire Cloud Sect Master, right? She is the leader of the younger generation of your Fire Cloud Sect."

"Not at all!" Zheng Bafang laughed heartily. "Your Star Moon Alliance is not bad either. I recognize that young Daoist with the black sword. I heard he's quite famous among the younger generation, known as something like 'White Robe, Black Sword, One Line of Sky.' Am I right?"

Chu Muyu smiled sweetly and said with a trembling voice, "You two old ghosts, there's no need to tease each other. Since you know there are great treasures in that tomb, you probably don't want other families to take them away, so you naturally sent the strongest group of disciples within the rules."

Unlike you who try to hide things, the one who entered from the Extreme Ice Valley is my personal disciple, Mu Jiaoluan. With her abilities, while she may not be able to overpower the amazing juniors of your three sects, she certainly won't suffer a loss."

After speaking, she looked at Elder Fan Cai of the Vajra Sect, who had been resting with his eyes closed, and sneered, "If you want to look, then look boldly. I don't mind. Why are you squinting?"

Chu Muyu covered her face with her hands and laughed heartily, her full breasts swaying with her laughter.
