Li Fire Sect

Li Fire Sect is a small sect located on a dozen small peaks in the southwest of the Rosy Cloud Mountain Range.

Its sect leader was merely a Heavenly Origin cultivator; such a sect was no different from an ant on the Profound Heaven Continent.

This very sect has recently become the focus of attention within a radius of a thousand miles.

Many forces, large and small, gathered around the Li Fire Sect to watch the spectacle.

Although the Li Fire Sect is not a major power, it is skilled in controlling fire. However, this sect, which is skilled in controlling fire, caused the underground fire veins to erupt.

This resulted in the deaths and injuries of most of the disciples within the Li Fire Sect, and the old foxes of the cultivation world instantly caught wind of it.

There must be some treasure or Abnormal Fire about to appear in the fire veins of this Li Fire Sect, otherwise such a change would not have occurred.

To the Li Fire Sect, dozens of figures descended from the sky. As soon as they landed, the Rogue Cultivator and various forces gathered around them dispersed.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "I've long heard that the Li Fire Sect is a vassal of the Spirit Pill Sect, but I never expected that the Spirit Pill Sect would actually invite a prodigy from the Dao-Seeking Academy to deal with the Spirit Fire Sect's affairs."

"Keep your voice down. The geniuses of the Dao-Seeking Academy don't like people talking about them behind their backs."

"..."

After dozens of figures landed, one of the distinguished young men slowly raised his head, looked at the fiery clouds in the distance, and asked calmly, "Senior Brother Yun, is this the Li Fire Sect?"

Senior Brother Yun dared not put on any airs of senior brother, and said respectfully, "That's right, Fang Mu Brother Fang's place is the Li Fire Sect. Counting the time we've spent traveling, the Li Fire Sect's spiritual fire has been erupting for over a month now, but none of us have yet detected any movement from the Abnormal Fire."

Fang Mu nodded slightly, then used his divine sense to communicate with the Rocket Turtle in his bag: Senior brother, have you sensed any movement of the Abnormal Fire?

On the way here, Rocket Turtle had told Fang Mu that Abnormal Fire attract and restrain each other, and with its strength, it could sense the movements of Abnormal Fire within a hundred miles.

Rocket Turtle responded with its divine sense: There is indeed a Abnormal Fire Abnormal Fire here, but it is not yet fully formed. The fire vein here erupted because that Abnormal Fire devoured other spiritual fires, causing them to try to escape the fire vein.

Upon hearing this, Fang Mu subconsciously asked, "Senior brother, you've done this before?"

Rocket Turtle:???

There was nothing wrong with what the kid said, but something just sounded off to him.

Just as the two were communicating, a commotion arose from not far away.

"Look, those are disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect!"

"Wow, Fairy Qinghe has come too!"

"..."

Fang Mu, who had originally intended to tease Rocket Turtle, couldn't help but show a delighted expression upon hearing the words "Fairy Qinghe."

Seeing the change in Fang Mu's expression, Yun Ye asked curiously.

"Senior Brother Fang, have you perhaps discovered something?"

Fang Mu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yun, an old friend of mine has arrived. I'll go and say hello first."

Yun Ye entered the academy before Fang Mu, so in principle Fang Mu should call him senior brother. However, the Dao-Seeking Academy respects the strong, and Yun Ye was determined to follow Fang Mu, so he called him senior brother.

Neither of them could convince the other, so they became each other's senior brothers.

"Oh?"

Yun Ye's face lit up with joy. "We have helpers too. Let's go together. After all, no one knows what kind of Abnormal Fire this is. Having more help will give us a better chance of success."

As for the safety of the Li Fire Sect, he didn't care at all; the Li Fire Sect had absolutely nothing to do with him.

He wouldn't risk his life to save the other party for the sake of the Li Fire Sect; at most, he would save as many as he could before subduing the Abnormal Fire.

It's good to be a chivalrous person, but you have to have the ability to do so.

Yun Ye didn't consider himself a person of great ability; he was just an ordinary alchemist at the Dao-Seeking Academy.

The Spirit Pill Sect cultivators following the group from the Dao-Seeking Academy naturally didn't notice anything unusual.

Yun Ye is the only person in the Spirit Pill Sect in hundreds of years to be able to join the inner sect of the Dao-Seeking Academy. He is going to inherit the position of sect leader of the Spirit Pill Sect in the future. Going against him would be going against the future sect leader.

Moreover, Yun Ye had managed to curry favor with Half-Saint Chu's disciple.

"OK."

Fang Mu did not refuse. Although he was usually immersed in alchemy, he was still quite knowledgeable about human relationships.

Going there alone would make it seem like he wasn't doing well at the Dao-Seeking Academy. The disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect might not say it outwardly, but they would definitely think that Senior Sister Qinghe had made the wrong bet.

The group marched in a grand procession toward the direction where the Cloud Mist Sect members had landed.

Along the way, the surrounding cultivators all kept their distance.

No one knew what these geniuses from the Dao-Seeking Academy were up to, but they wouldn't provoke them for no reason. If they were used as a warning to others, they would be in deep trouble.

After landing, the Cloud Mist Sect members all used their divine senses to investigate the situation inside the Li Fire Sect.

The powerful fire elemental energy emanating from the Li Fire Sect brought joy to many, but some frowned slightly.

"Halt!"

The Cloud Mist Sect disciple on lookout duty sensed someone approaching and instinctively shouted.

He pulled the consciousness of the other cultivators from the Li Fire Sect back to the Cloud Mist Sect.

The surrounding cultivators, witnessing this scene, instinctively wondered if the Dao-Seeking Academy was planning to cause trouble for the Cloud Mist Sect.

Before the cultivators could think further, Fang Mu spoke first, "Senior Sister Linglong."

Upon hearing this, the icy expression on Fang Linglong's face instantly vanished, replaced by joy. She looked at the speaker and excitedly exclaimed, "Junior Brother Mu!"

Upon hearing this title, the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect instantly thought of one name: Fang Mu!

"It's me."

Fang Mu strode past the crowd following behind him and walked straight towards Fang Linglong.

You've changed so much!

Without hesitation, Fang Linglong appeared in front of Fang Mu in a flash. Looking at the handsome young man before her, she was filled with emotion.

She knew that Fang Mu would one day become famous throughout the world, but she never expected that after only a few years, Fang Mu would be so unrecognizable to her, let alone the other disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect.

"Senior sister is as beautiful as ever."

Fang Mu began to praise.

Upon hearing this, Fang Linglong blushed for some reason, and subconsciously looked down at her Qianqian toes, her hands fiddling with the hem of her skirt.

"Junior brother, when did you become so glib?"

???

Fang Mu was stunned for a moment. Had he done something wrong?

I've seen several senior brothers use this method to coax their partners, so why is it different for me? Could it be that Senior Sister Linglong doesn't like it?

Pfft...

Fang Linglong couldn't help but laugh when she saw Fang Mu standing there looking silly.

The scene was so captivating that the disciples of all three factions were thoroughly entertained.

The other onlookers were even more dumbfounded, some even covering their eyes, their expressions seeming to say, "Is this something I can see?"

"Junior brother, are you also here for the Li Fire Sect?"

After that smile, Fang Linglong's shyness had vanished without a trace.

"That's right, instead of a chance encounter, let's explore the Li Fire Sect together," Fang Mu extended an invitation.

"Good."

Fang Linglong nodded and agreed immediately.

Fang Mu was overjoyed to see that the other party had agreed. He was just about to introduce his fellow disciples to Fang Linglong and the others when the voice of the Rocket Turtle echoed in his mind:

"Poor Little Mu was manipulated by a woman."

???

Fang Mu's mind was full of questions, and he subconsciously asked, "Is your palm legitimate?"

Rocket Turtle: "..."

The three groups quickly met and began exchanging useful information.

Elder Yun of the Spirit Pill Sect said, "Fellow Daoists, our Spirit Pill Sect received a message from the Li Fire Sect more than ten days ago. This outbreak of spiritual fire was caused by a mid-grade fire vein. When they sent the message, they said that several spiritual fires were raging in the sect."

The cultivators of the Li Fire Sect tried to drive it away and control it, but ultimately failed. What are your thoughts on this?

After these words were spoken, the disciples of the three major forces fell silent...
