I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

The elders of the Mission Hall reported the missions they had received, and Qin Fanfan and the others exchanged glances when they received them.

"That kind of place could be dangerous," Elder Zhao said with some concern. "Besides, Ye Qiao has only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

There are quite a few geniuses in the cultivation world who die young. If possible, it would be best to keep them all in the sect and not let them go anywhere else, but flowers in a greenhouse are destined not to last long.

Duan Yu stroked his stubble-covered chin: "They can practice their skills. After all, they'll be facing more than just monsters in the future."

Qin Fanfan: "I'm still a little nervous..."

"Are you worried about her safety?" Duan Yu thought for a moment: "We can send some people to protect them."

"No," Qin Fanfan said, "I'm just afraid Ye Qiao will cause some trouble again."

Makes sense.

But it was too late to stop them now; the group had already begun to enthusiastically plan how to get to the Song family.

"I've noticed that other sects travel by flying boat."

"Flying boats are too expensive." Mu Chongxi thought for a moment, "Let's use swords instead."

The flying boat burned spirit stones, which they couldn't possibly produce that many. If Elder Zhao saw them again, they might be chased down and forced to pay compensation when they returned.

"Flying on a sword is not allowed." Mingxuan interrupted them: "The Eight Great Families have a rule that flying on a sword is prohibited when entering their territory, otherwise it is considered disrespecting their rules."

Every place has its own rules, but prohibiting sword-flying is simply outrageous.

Ye Qiao sighed, "So all eight of you are just a bunch of cavemen?"

Xue Yu raised his eyes slightly, his tone gentle: "The eight ancient and feudal families, you'll get used to it." Strictly speaking, they didn't really like the elders of their own families.

They only care about talent and bloodline; those with less talent are abandoned, isolated, and bullied.

"They won't even let us fly," Mu Chongxi scoffed. "Are we supposed to ride donkeys?"

Just kidding.

"By the way, can you ride a phoenix?" Mingxuan was inspired by Mu Chongxi's words and picked up the KFC in his arms.

Now the KFC chicken has grown bigger; it's no longer the chicken that can nestle on Ye Qiao's head. Its beautiful phoenix tail hangs down all the way, making it extremely conspicuous as Ming Xuan holds it in his arms.

Having survived the ordeal in the secret realm, KFC has grown considerably in size recently. Divine beasts are stronger than cultivators, and if they could fly, they could even carry a person away.

"Ye Qiao rides a phoenix, and our sect also has a red bird and a crane."

"One for each person, we can always get them before dark."

Mu Chongxi gave a thumbs up: "Great idea."

However, the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was harsh. Among the five, only Ye Qiao had rich experience in riding birds. Along the way, the others were carried up and down by the birds and were completely out of control.

They nearly knocked over several sword cultivators on their own along the way, but finally arrived at their destination before nightfall.

"How are you feeling?" Ye Qiao looked at her senior brothers who were vomiting so badly that they were dizzy and stood to the side, asking leisurely.

Zhou Xingyun: "Exciting."

Following the main group was definitely more exciting than being with others.

After all, no one would ride a bird to fly for no reason.

The eight great families of the cultivation world, namely the Song family and the Ming family, each control a large city. Each family has absolute power and influence in the cultivation world, and the cities controlled by the talisman cultivation families are even more bustling.

Looking around, she saw all kinds of magical artifacts, pills, and talismans, things she had never seen in other cities. There were even all sorts of pirated items, but here everything was genuine. Ye Qiao glanced at them casually and, sure enough, there wasn't a single one she could afford.

Ye Qiao: "I suddenly realized that Song Hansheng's arrogance in the past wasn't without reason."

So they're all young masters.

"How spectacular!" The eyes of the few people who had never seen anything like it lit up.

Xue Yu couldn't help but remind them, "Remember not to alert the enemy unnecessarily."

"I know, I know," Mingxuan replied dismissively. They had all changed their clothes on purpose.

Since it was their first time there, the five of them were full of enthusiasm. Seeing a group of rogue cultivators pointing and gesturing around a bounty board, Ye Qiao, out of curiosity, also went to take a look. She nudged one of the cultivators and asked, "What's that up there for?"

Without turning his head, the other person said, "Bounty. You'll get spirit stones for catching them. If you want to get rich, just catch these guys."

Ye Qiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately squeezed in, standing on tiptoe to scan the list.

The next second, her smile froze.
