Chapter 120: Stone Cold City

"That's true." Liu Xiu also said.

He also felt helpless.

I knew the fight for the Spiritual Fire would be fierce, but I didn't expect it to start so early.

Now we haven't even reached Shihan City, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the spiritual fire. No one even knows

what it looks like! I don't know why these people are so excited, and they are starting to get excited at this time.

"We are all young talents with great hopes." Yue Chao tried to smooth things over. "Even if it doesn't work out, we will give you crystals. We won't let you make this trip in vain."

These words made many people feel much more relaxed.

In fact, everyone knew that the Spiritual Fire was difficult to subdue, but they were still willing to go together because, firstly, everyone thought that they were the most special one in the world, and they might win the favor of the Spiritual Fire. Secondly, for the sake of the crystal, it would not be in vain.

Yue Chao offered others a higher price. There were many people in the Xianlai Sect, but not everyone met his selection criteria, so the price he offered was five hundred.

The others were basically chosen by him, so if we calculate it by head, each person would get about 100 crystals.

Three people would have to pay three hundred, which was not too much, but it would only take less than a day to get it, so why not?

At night, everyone quickened their pace out of the Qinxue Pond, and then set off on the Yuechao flying boat.

When people saw the flying boat of the Yue Dynasty, many of them's eyes lit up.

It turned out to be a flying boat that could accommodate at least a hundred people!

Generally, the most common flying boat is the one that can only seat three to five people. A flying boat that can seat ten people is more expensive.

The more people a flying boat carries, the more materials it consumes and the more expensive it is. A flying boat that can carry a hundred people is already considered large and ordinary families simply cannot afford it.

"I've heard about the profound family learning of the Yue family in Shihan City a long time ago. Now it seems that it is indeed not comparable to ordinary families."

A purple-robed female cultivator who had a very calm personality and had said little along the way sighed.

Yue Chao smiled, "Fellow Daoist Xue, have you heard of my Yue family?"

"That's right. I passed through Shihan City before and bought some medicine from the Yue family shop, so I have heard of it." Female cultivator Xue nodded.

"What a pity that our Yue family is not powerful enough to subdue the spiritual fire, otherwise we would be more famous than we are now." Yue Chao sighed.

Others tried to comfort him, but they all thought in their hearts:

Fortunately, your Yue family is not powerful enough, otherwise what would we have to do?

After a while, the speed of the flying boat slowed down. Everyone looked out and found that they had arrived at Shihan City.

"Our old man is at the Yue family. In order to avoid disturbing him before anything happens and forcing him to stop us, we deliberately chose the location at the Yue family's villa." Yue Chao explained to them as he led the way, "We just hope that the news won't leak out. If he hears it, he will definitely come here to stop us."

"Your old man is too stubborn. Why bother? No matter how good the thing is, can it be more important than human life?" Someone frowned.

Of course they want to have a smooth journey, it would be troublesome if someone stops them.

"The old man is quite stubborn. The main reason is that the spiritual fire is his lifelong hope. He knows that he doesn't have much time left, so he doesn't want this hope to be shattered." Yue Chao shook his head and said.

The location of the villa is relatively remote, but it is close to the city gate, so everyone saw a big house not far away.

"We're here, please follow me. Our young master is here, please walk slowly so as not to disturb him." Yue Chao said.

"Don't worry, Brother Yue. This is natural."

"We'll keep it quiet."

Although it was dark, the house was brightly lit and sounds could be vaguely heard from the front.

Just by looking at the voices you can tell there are quite a few people here.

Although they already knew that there were more than thirty people coming, when they heard clearly that there were still many people here, some people's faces became unhappy, as if they were displeased that someone came to steal their things.

Mo Jiuwei had been sleeping since dusk and did not wake up until the flying boat stopped. At this moment, she was looking around with her eyes wide open.

[Tsk, this temporary location is too perfunctory. ]

[Even if it's a separate courtyard, it shouldn't be so sloppy. ]

[Did they calculate that everyone would only be anxious to see the spiritual fire and would not care about these small details? ]

When the people from the Xianlai Sect heard this, their faces changed drastically and they all stopped in their tracks.

They looked at each other -

What does Jiu Wei mean?

Is there a ghost here?

"Let's go." Seeing that they were not moving, Mo Jiuwei raised her head and asked.

Still leaving?

Chen Lan already wanted to turn around and leave.

"Are we still going?" Du Yue's heart was pounding. He couldn't help but move closer to Mo Jiuwei and asked in a low voice.

"Go!" Mo Jiuwei nodded.

[Of course I will go. How can I enjoy the show if I don't go? ]

[Let's go, they are all looking back at us. ]

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what's wrong?" Yue Chao asked.

Chen Lan pursed her lips, looked at Liu Feng, and questioned him with her eyes.

Liu Feng nodded and continued walking, "Nothing, I thought the baby was going to cry."

Mo Jiuwei: "..."

How could I cry!

Seeing Liu Feng and the others following him, Yue Chao continued walking.

After listening to Mo Jiuwei's words, everyone became more cautious as they continued walking, and observed their surroundings more carefully.

Jiuwei's words seemed too sloppy here.

Although it was just a villa and not the Yue family's mansion, it seemed a bit shabby and had not been carefully cleaned and tidied. There were not many maids around.

If what Yue Chao said was true, the Yue family was a well-known family here and would not be so shabby.

So… this is a play directed at them?

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. If they hadn't seen Mo Jiuwei looking around calmly without any panic, they would have definitely turned around and left.

"Brother Chao is coming."

At this time, the group had already walked to the open space outside the front hall, where at least forty or fifty people were already standing.

They were probably told not to speak loudly, so the noise made by so many people was not loud, and they were just whispering with their heads down.

One of the blue-clad leaders saw Yue Chao and came over, "Are these the only ones?"

Yue Chao nodded, "Time is in a hurry, I only found these many after picking fruits for the young lady, but don't worry, each one is extraordinary."

When they heard the word "extraordinary", some people straightened their chests unconsciously, with a look of secret pride.

For example, Chen Ju is like this.

"Where are Xiaoruo and He Fei? Have the people they brought arrived?" Yue Chao asked.

"Everyone else is here, except Xiaoruo. Her flying boat just stopped. It will be here soon." said the man in blue.

"Then wait."

They didn't have to wait too long before a middle-aged female cultivator came over with dozens of people.

The front hall couldn't hold so many people, so everyone had to stand outside. Seeing that most people were here, Yue Chao spoke up, "Everyone is here, the rest are in another place, please follow me."
