Chapter 18 Stirring up trouble is the right way
There were spiritual herbs on both sides of the Blood-Red Canyon, and there were several near the cave entrance where he was hiding. He thought for a moment, then changed into the clothes he had worn at the Heavenly Wind Sect, put his mask back on, and used a teleportation talisman to lightly step on the rocks and jump across.
One plant.
Two plants.
Three plants.
...
Ye Luo looked down at the battle below and quickly picked all the glowing spiritual plants on the cliff. Just as he finished picking the last one, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
So he decisively jumped off the cliff, summoned his flying fan and quickly flew a distance away. With a loud "bang", a fire bomb exploded where he had been standing.
"Well, so it's that stinking rat from the Tianfeng Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo's lips curled up, and he shouted, "You ignorant fool, how dare you insult my Great Tianfeng Sect? Do you want to die sooner?"
"Hey kid, you're pretty arrogant!"
"We fought to the death, but he got off easy!"
"Hand over all the medicinal herbs, and we'll spare your life!"
Ye Luo: "Bah! The disciples of my Great Tianfeng Sect have never been afraid of anyone. All these spiritual herbs belong to my junior sister Ruoqian. You should just obediently hand them over. Why are you talking so much nonsense! If you obstruct me again, I will definitely have her kill you all one by one!"
"Who is this Junior Sister Ruoqian? Why is she so arrogant?!"
"Who else? It's the new female disciple with the Heavenly Spiritual Root whom the Tianfeng Sect leader has just accepted. I think her name is Bai Ruoqian."
"It's her."
"So arrogant at such a young age! I'll kill her later to prevent future troubles." A male cultivator from the Sword Nether Sect pointed his sword at Ye Luo and roared, "I'll take care of you first!"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ye Luo laughed and said, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you guys. I'm going to the central area to help my junior sister seize the treasure!"
After saying that, he poured his spiritual energy into the flying fan and fled into the distance. Before leaving, he didn't forget to grab a spiritual herb, which infuriated the people below the cliff, who all flew into a rage and chased after him on their swords.
"You brat, stop right there!"
Ye Luo activated the defensive array of the flying fan, turned around and looked at the enraged crowd behind him, a surge of joy filling his heart as he disappeared into the dense jungle.
He darted through the forest, found a hidden tree hollow, and quickly changed his clothes.
Several groups of people flew overhead, searching around but finding no trace of Ye Luo. One of the burly men roared, "Damn it, where did that kid go?"
"Didn't he just say he was going to the city center?"
"Yeah, they even said they'd help Bai Ruoqian get the treasure."
"Is the Tianfeng Sect really this arrogant now? Daring to directly attack the central area, aren't they afraid of being eaten by monsters?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was startled. He had almost forgotten about the demonic beasts in the central area, and he couldn't help but worry about his third senior sister and the others.
No wonder these people, despite having a map, kept lingering on the periphery; they were trying to conserve their strength and wait to pick up the scraps.
"Hmph, since the Tianfeng Sect has already gone, what are we waiting for!" With that, the various sects rushed off towards the central area not far away.
Seeing this, Ye Luo quickly mingled with the group and followed them to the central area.
In the central area, in front of the circular grotto.
"Aww!"
Waves of ferocious demonic beasts relentlessly attacked the several disheveled cultivators, gradually putting them at a disadvantage.
"Fellow Daoist, watch out on the left!" Cen Feng was distracted, controlling several puppets to deal with the level one demonic beast, the Crimson Sword Tiger, in front of him.
However, there were simply too many of them, and he gradually began to feel the strain. He couldn't help but glare angrily at the sect disciples who were watching from the sidelines not far away.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
A male cultivator in plain clothes, his face covered in sweat and panting heavily, looked at the waves of Crimson Sword Tigers. "There are too many of them. This isn't working!"
"Let's retreat first, my spiritual energy is almost exhausted!" one of the female cultivators shouted.
"Retreat quickly, I'll cover your retreat!" Cen Feng commanded them to go out, but they had only retreated a short distance when they were attacked from behind by people on the cliff.
With several screams of agony, many rogue cultivators, having been ambushed, lost their defenses and died in the mouths of the Crimson Sword Tiger.
"Qingyang Sect! You despicable villains!" The rogue cultivators glared at the cliff, now caught between a rock and a hard place, with nowhere left to retreat.
"Heh, serves you right for your bad luck." The Qingyang Sect members chuckled. "You worthless lives deserve to be fed to demonic beasts!"
Su Yuyuan looked down at them and sneered, "You mere rogue cultivators, how dare you covet our things! You deserve to die!"
"Your things?"
Cen Feng sneered at him, pointing at the thousand-year-old spiritual herb guarded by the tiger pack, "If that's the case, why don't you have the guts to come down and take it? Are people from big sects just all talk and no action?"
"Using nothing but underhanded tricks, the Tianfeng Sect is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical scoundrels, utterly disgusting!"
"Go ahead and curse," Su Yuyuan said with a cold smile, his face dark and menacing. "Seeing you all in such a sorry state makes me incredibly happy!"
Bai Ruoqian's eyes gleamed with calculation. She estimated the time and said, "Second Senior Brother, let's not waste any more time. We need to hurry into the Stone Heart Cave."
"Okay, I'll do whatever Junior Sister says."
Bai Ruoqian glanced around and, not seeing Ye Luo, smiled. "Looks like that annoying guy is dead."
But before she could finish speaking, a familiar voice rang out, "Oh dear! I've found the people from the Heavenly Wind Sect! Everyone, come and gang up on these bastards!"
"Ye Luo?" Bai Ruoqian was shocked. She turned around and saw a dark mass of people rushing towards them with murderous intent.
What... what happened?!
"They really are here!"
"Damn it, you dogs of the Tianfeng Sect, we've finally caught you!"
"You dare to be so arrogant after stealing our spiritual herbs? Do you think the disciples of my Thousand Swords Sect are easy to bully?!"
"Hand over Bai Ruoqian and that brat to me!"
"Kill them!"
...
The sudden turn of events left Bai Ruoqian completely bewildered. She had never seen anything like this before; the menacing faces of everyone present terrified her so much that she could barely speak.
"Second, second senior brother..."
Seeing this, Su Yuyuan shielded her behind him. Looking at the scene, he felt a little uneasy and angrily said, "How dare you!"
"Let's see if we dare!"
Ye Luo, hiding in the crowd, continued to stir things up, saying, "Hey, let's just forget about it! I heard that Bai Ruoqian is the most pampered junior sister of the Tianfeng Sect. If we mess with her, we'll probably bring trouble upon ourselves. Let's just bear with it!"
"Stop it my foot!"
"Damn it, I refuse to believe in evil! Beat up the Zhan Sect!"
The muscular body cultivator roared and charged at the Tianfeng Sect members. Seeing this, other sects also joined the battle.
Suddenly, the cliff became lively, with colorful magical sword lights flashing and the sounds of fighting ringing out incessantly.
The fierce fighting atmosphere here had long since scared away the Crimson Sword Tiger. Cen Feng was completely bewildered by the reversal of the situation when suddenly he was patted on the shoulder. "Fifth Senior Brother!"
"Junior brother, it's so good to see you're alright!"
"Hehe, a close call." Ye Luo looked around but didn't see Yu Qianling. She asked, "Where's Third Senior Sister?"
Cen Feng said helplessly, "Sigh! We ran into that man named Yu Xuan, and Third Senior Sister went crazy as soon as she heard that name. She grabbed her spear and charged at him. We chased after them for a long time but couldn't catch up, and then we got separated..."
Ye Luo: "..."
Is this woman really that bold?
Is this like having his words etched into his DNA?
