"We just walked around for a bit, there's nothing dangerous." Su Jinyue was touched when she saw the anchovies were still in the basin. They must have been worried about them these past few days.
"Let's act together from now on. We are really worried about you going out alone." Zhao Yan said.
"Okay." Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan nodded.
"Eat the fish first. Once you've absorbed the nutrients, we'll set off again," Su Jinyue said to the group. Phoenix Valley was open for three months, and less than a month had already passed, so they still had plenty of time. Most importantly, she and Yihan knew the terrain well and wouldn't go any further.
"Okay." Everyone responded with a smile. Now that they were back, they could practice peacefully.
A few days passed in a flash, and when everyone had absorbed the immortal spiritual energy, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan put away the formation and prepared to move on.
"Wait a moment!" Not long after Su Jinyue and her group left, they heard Long Yijian's panting voice behind them.
They stopped and turned around, only to see Long Yijian and his group running towards them in a panic.
When Long Yijian and his group saw the people ahead wearing their own sect's uniforms, they thought they were seeing things. It wasn't until they got closer that they realized it was Su Jinyue and her group. They were a little shocked. It was incredible that none of them had gotten into trouble despite the burden of those two newcomers.
"It's Senior Brother Long and the others." Zhao Yan looked at Long Yijian and the others in surprise as they were getting closer and closer to them.
"It looks like they've encountered a lot of danger. I wonder if they got separated from the others, or if something happened to them," Zhang Fengyu speculated. Fortunately, he chose to team up with Junior Brother Zhan and Junior Sister Su, otherwise, their current situation would definitely not be much better than Long Yijian and the others.
Long Yijian and his companions ran over to Su Jinyue and the others, observing them. Not only were they unharmed, but their cultivation had also improved. Even the two Sanxian-stage disciples had advanced a level. Su Jinyue was currently mid-to-late Sanxian-stage, and Zhan Yihan was at the peak of the late Sanxian-stage. It had only been about a month, so how could they have experienced such significant changes? Could they have found some kind of opportunity?
"How come nothing happened to you?" Chang Che asked. Half of their people had been killed.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue and her group's faces darkened.
"What do you mean by that? Do you hope that something bad will happen to us all?" Xia Xin glared at Zhang Che unhappily.
Zhang Che also realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly explained: "I'm just a little surprised that this place is so dangerous, and there are two wandering immortal disciples among you."
Xia Xin snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Che. He had been happy to see them, but now he was just angry. They were fellow disciples after all, so shouldn't he check in on them first when he met them?
"Let's go." Su Jinyue said calmly. She didn't like Long Yijian and his group.
"We'll go with you," Long Yijian said. They must have something to rely on to stay safe. Besides, there were only seven of them left, so joining forces with them would be safer.
Zhao Yan turned her head and looked at Long Yijian sarcastically, "You were the ones who proposed the grouping. Now that you want to team up with us, don't you want to ask us if we're willing too?"
"Aren't you afraid of being dragged down by me now? But we are afraid of being dragged down by you." Xia Xin sneered.
"We are from the same school, you don't have to treat us like this." Ma Zewen said in a deep voice.
"Fellow disciples? When you were grouped with us, did you ever think that we were your fellow disciples?" Zhang Fengyu asked in a calm voice.
"We were concerned about you before, worried that you would be dragged down by them. This is Phoenix Valley, where even us Golden Immortal cultivators have difficulty moving, let alone them." Long Yijian glanced at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. Even if they formed a team, he would still kick these two burdens out.
"We're doing fine the way we are now. We don't need you to join us," He Yunping said sullenly. It was clear from Long Yijian's words that he still considered Junior Sister Su and Junior Brother Zhan to be a burden.
"Aren't you afraid that we will go back and report to our master?" Ma Zewen threatened.
He Yunping sneered, "If you want to report, go ahead and report. Let's go!" They were not afraid even if they reported to the sect. The fault was not on their side. It was Long Yijian and his group who requested to be divided into groups in the first place.
Su Jinyue and his group were about to leave when they heard a rumbling sound of footsteps.
When they looked over, everyone's faces changed immediately. They saw dozens of level five flaming beasts running towards them.
"It's over!" Long Yijian and his companions' eyes were filled with fear. They reacted quickly and ran towards the stream. Seven or eight level five Blazing Beasts had already been too much for them to handle, let alone these dozens.
Running into the stream, the group ran upstream without looking back.
Only after running several thousand meters did the group slow down, panting.
"He Yunping and the others didn't catch up." Xu Yanran said after looking behind her.
"Don't bother with them. If they don't run away, it's none of our business." Ma Zewen snorted coldly. They had good intentions to team up with them, but they actually rejected them. How ungrateful!
"With so many level five Blazing Beasts, they're probably in great danger this time." Zhang Che gloated.
"That's right, hahaha..." Everyone laughed in agreement. Only those who were useful to them were considered fellow disciples.
Seeing so many level five flaming beasts rushing towards them, everyone quickly drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
"Master, there is no need to be so troublesome. These fairy beasts all obey our Phoenix clan. As long as you release a trace of my breath, they will not attack you." The voice of the Fire Phoenix sounded.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue did not hesitate and immediately released a trace of Fire Phoenix's aura, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I just remembered it too." Huo Feng smiled awkwardly.
Su Jinyue rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Feeling the breath of the Fire Phoenix, the Level 5 Blazing Beast, which had been rushing towards Su Jinyue and the others with great momentum, slowly stopped, and the look in its eyes when it looked at Su Jinyue and the others was no longer as ferocious as before.
"Why did they stop?"
"Have you noticed that they seem to have become docile?"
"What's going on?" Feeling the kindness emanating from the Level 5 Blazing Beast, everyone except Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, who knew the inside story, was filled with surprise. They didn't think that the Level 5 Blazing Beast was charging towards them aggressively just to show them kindness.
"Let's not let our guard down for now." He Yunping held the Qingyun Umbrella tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
