“This Qinghe Tower is really despicable! What about the people coming later, should we still stop them?” a disciple asked tentatively.
“As long as they don’t have a Deity Transformation stage expert guarding their team, there’s no need to stop them,” the Fifth Elder said, his small eyes filled with cunning calculations.
To him, anyone below the Deity Transformation stage was nothing but an ant. Even if they were lucky enough to find a treasure, they wouldn’t be able to escape the control of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Their entire conversation was clearly heard by the four people standing above the clouds.
“Seventh Junior Brother, you should hide your cultivation level for now. Don’t let that Fifth Elder notice you,” Ning Shiyue said, preparing to descend on her sword.
“No!” Baili Wenyue objected. “We’d better not go. Even if the Fifth Elder is no match for Seventh Junior Brother, those Sect Masters are all at the Void God stage…”
“Sixth Junior Brother, being overly cautious and letting fear hold you back isn’t our style!” Ning Shiyue shook her head.
Her eyes sparkled with brilliance. “You need to remember, our Lingyun Sect has only one rule: if we’re not convinced, we fight!”
Baili Wenyue: …
The excitement he had just barely managed to suppress was completely stirred up again by Fifth Senior Sister!
Fifth Senior Sister, are you a devil?
He had originally made up his mind to become a mature and steady man…
“Sixth Senior Brother, let’s just go. You wouldn’t want to see Fifth Senior Sister unhappy, would you?” Feng Qingran’s eyes were as clear and bright as glass.
Sixth Senior Brother could strive desperately to become stronger…
But he absolutely couldn’t lose his true nature.
Baili Wenyue looked at Mo Jinghong, “Seventh Junior Brother, you decide. Should we go or not?”
Mo Jinghong’s ink-black eyes were as deep and profound as an ancient pool. “We can go. It seems there’s the aura of a Dragon Immortal Spirit Fruit coming from Tiger Bear Ridge. Consuming the Dragon Immortal Spirit Fruit can nourish the divine sense.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go now.” Baili Wenyue said impatiently.
Feng Qingran: Sixth Senior Brother, the master of the quick change of heart.
“Put these on.” Mo Jinghong took out some talismans and handed them to the three. “Illusionary Appearance Talismans. They can prevent Void God stage experts from seeing through them.”
Ning Shiyue and Baili Wenyue hadn’t been seen by the four Sect Masters.
But Feng Qingran was different.
If those Sect Masters recognized her, it would definitely cause trouble.
After all, going from having no cultivation at all to the early Nascent Soul stage in just nine years was simply too Heaven-defying.
“Seventh Junior Brother always thinks things through so carefully.” Ning Shiyue happily took the talisman and put it on.
Fifteen minutes later.
The four of them stood at the entrance to Tiger Bear Ridge.
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect glanced at them but paid them no mind.
The Fifth Elder opened his small eyes and said coldly, “A moment, please.”
The four stopped. Feng Qingran’s voice was crisp and clear, “What is it?”
The Fifth Elder ignored Feng Qingran, his gaze landing on Mo Jinghong instead. “Are you also independent cultivators?”
“Is that important?” Feng Qingran countered.
The Fifth Elder withdrew his gaze and looked back at Feng Qingran. “It’s not important. I’m just giving you a warning. Tiger Bear Ridge isn’t suitable for independent cultivators. The four of you have decent cultivation, but if you lose your lives in there…”
“What do you mean? We haven’t even gone in yet, and you’re already cursing us?” Feng Qingran’s voice rose, acting like a spoiled and willful young lady.
The Fifth Elder squinted his small eyes again, lay back down, and ignored Feng Qingran.
“Hey! What kind of person are you? My little sister is talking to you!” Ning Shiyue pointed at the Fifth Elder rudely.
The Fifth Elder shook his head at his disciples.
A disciple stepped in front of the Fifth Elder. “If you four want to go in, go in quickly. If not, then leave. This is no place to start trouble.”
Feng Qingran and Ning Shiyue both let out a cold snort simultaneously.
Then they walked into Tiger Bear Ridge.
After their figures disappeared, the Fifth Elder said to his disciple, “Remind the Sect Leader to be wary of a man in dark clothes. There’s something suspicious about that one.”
——————
After Feng Qingran and the others entered Tiger Bear Ridge.
Feng Qingran lowered her voice, “Seventh Senior Brother, did that Fifth Elder notice something?”
Mo Jinghong said in a deep voice, “He has a detection magic tool on him. It can only tell that we’re disguised, but it didn’t see through our actual cultivation levels.”
Feng Qingran’s anxious heart relaxed.
Ning Shiyue looked around, observing their surroundings. “What secret is hidden in Tiger Bear Ridge, anyway? It’s got people from four different sects all stirred up?”
Baili Wenyue replied, “Didn’t they say there’s a Dragon Immortal Spirit Fruit? Fifth Senior Sister, are you getting senile? You don’t even remember what Seventh Junior Brother just said.”
Ning Shiyue: …
She really wanted to strangle this Sixth Junior Brother!
She couldn’t exactly tell Baili Wenyue that the Dragon Immortal Spirit Fruit was something Seventh Junior Brother just made up on the spot, could she?
“It’s all misty here, we can’t even tell which direction is which. Which way should we go?” Ning Shiyue decided to change the subject.
At that moment, Feng Qingran casually took out a compass.
Ning Shiyue couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “Little Sister, you really came prepared!”
“Fifth Senior Sister, I need to focus on leading the way. If there’s any danger, you have to remember to stand in front and protect us.” Feng Qingran’s beautiful eyes sparkled with light, as brilliant as moonlight.
“Little Sister, don’t worry. Leave it to me.” Ning Shiyue’s eyes shone brightly.
Baili Wenyue: ???
Had Little Sister been swapped with someone else?
You’re at the Nascent Soul stage, asking a Golden Core stage cultivator to protect you?
Baili Wenyue decided he would walk at the very front.
Just as he lifted his foot, he felt his collar being grabbed from behind. “Seventh Junior Brother, let go of me! I need to go protect Fifth Senior Sister!”
“Sixth Senior Brother, if you go to the front, you might easily block the compass’s signal.” Mo Jinghong’s voice was cool and clear.
Baili Wenyue: ???
This was beyond his knowledge!
Mo Jinghong said calmly, “Little Sister knows what she’s doing. Sixth Senior Brother can focus on guarding our rear.”
Seeing Mo Jinghong’s actions, Feng Qingran felt very satisfied.
Tiger Bear Ridge was a blessed land for Fifth Senior Sister.
A tremendous opportunity was waiting for her here…
They couldn’t let Sixth Senior Brother become a stumbling block.
