Both groups are people I know, and unfortunately, almost all of them have a grudge against Xia Wanqing.
The only difference is that on one side is Xiao Yan of the Crimson Fire Sect, whose combat power is off the charts, and on the other side is Nalan Qing, a talisman cultivator from the Carefree Sect, who is powerless to even kill a chicken.
At this moment, the people of the Free and Unfettered Sect had already been trapped in the formation by the people of the Crimson Fire Sect.
Xiao Yan appeared to be easy to talk to, but in reality, he was pressing her relentlessly, his face full of threats.
"So, Miss Nalan, would you like to cooperate with me?"
"dream!"
Nalan Qing didn't buy it, and Xiao Yan wasn't one to be easily persuaded either: "What you're doing is really unwise."
"Haven't you Red Fire Sect done enough of this kind of thing—discarding the millstone after it has served its purpose? In my opinion, cooperating with you is just asking for trouble."
"Cultivation is a dog-eat-dog world; if you have to blame someone, blame them for being too weak."
"If this secret realm weren't closed, how dare you be so arrogant!"
Neither of them respected the other, but Nalan Qing was clearly at a disadvantage.
A fight broke out quickly. Given the Crimson Fire Sect's methods, I thought Nalan Qing would die here, but to my surprise, she used several lightning talismans in succession to repel Xiao Yan and the others, allowing them to escape successfully.
Tsk, what a waste.
I already looked down on the Crimson Fire Sect, and now I look down on it even more.
My fifth junior sister, who was standing next to me, had disappeared without a trace.
It wasn't until I saw blood gushing from Xiao Yan's buttocks that I suddenly realized something. Sure enough, I was wondering why Fifth Junior Sister was squatting here for no reason.
Watching Xiao Yan cough up blood while clutching his buttocks and screaming in agony, I laughed so hard I almost died.
Hahahaha! Fifth Junior Sister is so damn cunning!
But I soon stopped laughing.
"Senior Brother Ye, was that person from your Hengyang Sect? She left in such a hurry; there might be danger here. Perhaps we should take another route?"
My fifth junior sister was giving me frantic hints, and I thought to myself, how does her brain work?
But what he accurately caught in his eyes was the deadpan expression on his fifth junior sister's face and the threatening gazes of his senior brothers and sisters. Well, maybe this is fate. Damn it, he can't beat them in a fight, so he can only cooperate!
Moreover, this was precisely an opportunity to set a trap for Xia Wanqing. With a thought in mind, I cooperated.
"Just because she's not good enough doesn't mean I'm not good enough. So what if she's the sect leader's daughter? In my eyes, she's not even as good as an ordinary disciple!"
Seeing how cooperative I was, my fifth junior sister smiled with satisfaction.
Soon, we arrived at a cave.
Passing through the narrow opening, a huge cave appeared before us, incredibly hot inside, with bare stone walls all around.
I'm a little confused about where this place is. This place is too strange. Usually, very few people come here. I wonder what Fifth Junior Sister and the others are doing here.
However, since I was already there, I decided to make the best of it. With them around, I felt at least more at ease, and I quickly calmed down.
But when I finally reached the end of the cave, I could no longer remain calm.
Unexpectedly, there is a huge vermilion tree here! The tree is covered with unripe vermilion fruits, and there seems to be an egg under the tree. The egg is fiery red and covered with scales. If you didn't know, you might think it was the egg of some kind of snake or dragon.
But I know what that is.
"That's! The egg of the divine beast Vermilion Bird! And the Vermilion Fruit..."
Before I could finish speaking, I felt several burning and malicious gazes. Speechless, I turned to look at the three people and the beast, and quickly raised my hand to swear an oath to prove my innocence.
"Um, don't look at me like that. I didn't mean to steal it, and I couldn't possibly steal it from you anyway."
I'm telling the truth. Among these people, there are two Nascent Soul cultivators, one whose cultivation level is hard to discern but who is indeed very strong, and the other a nine-tailed fox who can take human form once they enter the Nascent Soul stage.
Add to that a fifth junior sister who doesn't play by the rules and has exceptional talent, and I'm just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. Compared to them, I'm practically trash. To be honest, any normal person would rather eat shit than compete with them.
But damn it, can these people stop acting all high and mighty?
Especially the fifth junior sister, whose deadpan senior brother looked cold and threatening: "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
And that fox, it's like it can't understand human speech, it kept baring its teeth and hissing at me.
Damn! I'm speechless! It really is a buckle...
But it must be said that her deadpan senior sisters and brothers were quite kind to her. The two of them were determined to go to the other side to get the Vermilion Fruit for her.
"Junior sister, wait here. I'll get what you want for you."
"No, senior sister, you protect junior sister, I'll go."
I almost laughed. Below this cliff is magma, magma strong enough to melt everything. If you accidentally fall in, not only your body, but even your soul will be melted away.
Instead of fighting over it, these two should think it through before making a decision.
The dog, who appeared to have no cultivation but was actually very powerful, threw a stone down and watched it melt and sink, and he was terrified.
"My goodness! What if someone fell down there?"
Now you know, right?
I stepped back a little. To be honest, I was really afraid that my fifth junior sister would throw me over there and make me go and get it back for her. After all, she had done this kind of thing quite a few times along the way.
However, thankfully she still retains a sliver of humanity.
"I don't need anyone's help. I will get it back myself."
Her face was resolute.
The two were astonished: "Junior Sister!"
Fifth Junior Sister remained as stubborn as ever: "Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."
Looking at their expressions, I thought they would try to persuade her again, but I didn't expect them to just let Fifth Junior Sister go like that.
I was stunned.
"No, she just mentioned it casually, and you let her go?"
I was really surprised.
I thought they were really good to Fifth Sister, but it turns out their kindness wasn't all that great, especially at crucial moments.
"What do you know? I'll kill you if you bark again."
Fifth Junior Sister's deadpan face, Senior Sister coldly stared at me, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
My throat tightened.
Then, a voice that was hard to tell whether it was boasting or indifference rang in my ears.
"What do you, an outsider, know?"
“I…”. I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but I didn’t know how to refute it. Could I say that I was also the fifth junior sister’s senior brother?
Ha, what's so special about that?
Damn it, I shouldn't have talked to them! Damn it! My stupid mouth!
I shut my mouth. It didn't matter anymore. From beginning to end, their affairs seemed to have nothing to do with me. All I wanted to do was find Xia Wanqing as soon as possible.
Let her kill me or let me kill her.
I just hope they get there soon.
Time waits for no one.
But to my surprise, Xia Wanqing actually came to me of her own accord.
At that time, the fifth junior sister was incubating the Vermilion Bird egg.
When Xia Wanqing arrived, she had a smug smile on her face, but the smile vanished the moment she saw me, leaving only coldness.
She looked at me, and without her followers, her face no longer held any weakness or pretense, only her usual arrogance: "Senior Brother Ye, what are you doing here?"
