Chapter 825: Chapter 0825: Gathering of Winds and Clouds

In the hotel, Long Fei and Chu Feng returned, Lin Yingying and the others had already woken up.

She pulled Long Fei over and sniffed him carefully, expressing her satisfaction, "Not bad, there’s no scent."

Long Fei laughed, "If I took a bath, wouldn’t your sniffing be for nothing?"

Lin Yingying confidently said, "This kind of scent can’t be washed away by bathing. If you don’t believe me, you can try."

"Then let’s forget about it!"

Long Fei gave a dry laugh and asked her to get ready to leave.

At Yellowstone Park, a conflux of events had unfolded over these two days.

Daoist Huoyuan sat in the cave, his face etched with worries. The Fire Spirit Fruits were on the verge of maturation, and as a hundred years ago, it had attracted various forces to covet them.

He had already felt several powerful presences near the cave dwelling.

What troubled him was that his old friend Yu Fangming also came with a purpose, asking if he could bring those young ones who had dominated at the Hell Sect to visit the Fire Elemental Tree.

At this critical juncture, the intentions of these people were very suspect to Daoist Huoyuan.

He neither wanted to agree nor dared to refuse.

Once he refused, these people might act in the shadows, and it would be even more difficult to deal with at that time.

Daoist Huoyuan looked at the bubbling magma in the cave, his brow furrowed deeply.

Above, a dazzling red plant emitted bursts of Spiritual Energy.

He sighed inwardly, "An innocent man bears no sin, but a man with a precious stone invites trouble."

He exited the cave to the guest hall outside and sat down.

A young servant quickly brought Yu Fangming over. Daoist Huoyuan poured some tea and gestured for him to sit.

Yu Fangming laughed with a cupped fist salute, "Old friend, have you come around?"

Daoist Huoyuan took a sip of tea and stared at him with suspicion, "Brother Yu, we’ve known each other for so many years, be honest with me for once. You’re also a Cultivator at the Core Formation Stage, a scarce existence in the world. Why would you want to submit to a junior? I really can’t understand."

Yu Fangming sipped his tea and replied with a light laugh, "It’s simple when you put it this way. I just don’t want to muddle along in confusion anymore. We both understand that our Cultivation Levels have hit a bottleneck. If we don’t break through, our lifespans will be greatly diminished. Rather than stiffening our old faces pretending, it’s better to find a good opportunity to sell ourselves for a good price early on. This youngster is extremely fortunate, and his future achievements will definitely surpass ours. By following him now, we can certainly share in this fortune in the future. If we miss this opportunity, we won’t have the same value the next time we meet."

Daoist Huoyuan drank his tea in silence; he had always been cultivating in the mountains, unlike Yu Fangming.

His way of dealing with people was nowhere near as astute as Yu Fangming’s.

He also knew that Long Fei and Chu Feng were extraordinarily talented and were sure to achieve great things in the future.

Yet, to acknowledge the two young ones as his masters and follow the juniors was somewhat unwilling in his heart.

After some thought, for the sake of Yu Fangming’s face, he helplessly slapped the table and said, "Enough said, bring them over! But let’s get one thing straight; if they harbor improper thoughts, our brotherhood over these years is over."

Yu Fangming laughed heartily, "Old fellow, you still doubt me? I’m not wrong in judging people. Our Sect Hierarch is a genius bestowed by heaven, he wouldn’t stoop to sneaky deeds."

"You old fellow, calling him ’Sect Hierarch’ with every breath, you really are earnest towards the junior."

Daoist Huoyuan shook his head with a smile, chatted with him for a bit, and then stood up to see him off.

Yu Fangming stopped at the cave entrance and scanned the surroundings before reminding Daoist Huoyuan, "Brother Fire, you should be more vigilant these next couple of days. The area is not peaceful, and I’ve already spotted several groups on the way here."

Daoist Huoyuan replied, "Don’t worry, my cave dwelling is protected by the Nine Flames Great Formation left from an ancient predecessor. Anyone attempting to enter will be turned to ashes."

"Good to hear!"

Yu Fangming bade him take care with a fist salute and lightly stepped into the void, flying down the mountain.

A Cultivator at the Core Formation Stage may not fly three thousand miles with a sword, but to float and spin through the air was still effortless.

The location was halfway up a ring-shaped volcanic crater; the cave had been created by a great man who pierced it with a single sword, leading directly to the underground volcanic magma.

The cliff was vertical, with the tallest part exceeding fifty meters without any slope.

Below was a canyon over three hundred meters deep, with rapid river waters, dense forests, and wild beasts roaming. Ordinary people could not make their way up at all.

But for Cultivators at the Core Formation Stage, coming here was like walking on flat ground.

Yu Fangming left, waiting at the hotel at the park entrance for Long Fei and the others to arrive.

According to the time they had agreed upon, Long Fei and his group should have already arrived at the slowest by today.

But because they lingered in Las Vegas for a day, Yu Fangming had to wait an additional day for them here.

The car raced down the deserted highway, where you could only see a few run-down motels every hundred miles or so, and beyond that, not even a ghostly shadow.

America really was so vast and sparsely populated that it felt empty.

As they got closer to the state where Yellowstone Park was located, the greenery and signs of people on the road gradually increased.

The women lay in the car, bouncing and sleeping the entire trip, and when they were almost at their destination, Long Fei woke them up.

Lin Yingying said while patting her mouth, "How boring, I should have known and just taken a plane."

Lin Shanshan looked out the window and said, "Exactly, if it’s not a desert, it’s a forest. There’s nothing interesting. Our Huaxia is so lively, everywhere you go there are people."

Everyone in the car chuckled at that.

When the car passed a gas station, everyone got out and sat down in an outdoor diner to eat some burgers.

A car with a tent thrown over it served as the kitchen, with a few tables set outside, looking very simple and rugged.

While eating, a crow fluttered its wings, landing on a chair nearby, and stared at Long Fei and the group unblinkingly.

Lin Shanshan, who was eating a burger, bored, pinched off a piece of bread crumb and threw it at the crow.

The crow was quick to react; it turned its head and gobbled up the bread crumb.

Lin Shanshan laughed and said, "Look, even crows in America are different; they were probably raised on burgers and cola since they were young."

Chu Feng stared at the crow and frowned, "There’s something very strange about the eyes of this bird."

"What’s that?"

Lin Shanshan curiously asked.

Chu Feng said, "This fellow has the sly glint in its eyes, it seems kind of lecherous!"

The table erupted in laughter.

Lin Shanshan teased, "Brother Chu, have you found a kindred spirit?"

Lin Yingying laughed, "Definitely, Brother Chu looks at women with exactly that gaze."

"Don’t talk rubbish, I am a true gentleman," he said, coughing twice and straightening his posture.

Hua Qianmo glanced at him disdainfully, secretly cursing ’gentleman my ass’; in Las Vegas, he’d only stayed a day and already slept with a Western girl, utterly despicable.

Long Fei stared at the crow thoughtfully, and pulled out a straw from a cola bottle, shooting a burst of cola at the crow.

With a ’pfft’, a drop of cola shot out.

With a ’pop’, it hit the crow’s leg.

The crow squawked aloud twice and flapped its wings, hurriedly leaving.

Lin Shanshan yelled, "Brother-in-law, be careful, there are signs for protecting animals on the roadside!"

Long Fei chuckled, "This is no small animal, I’m afraid it’s become a spirit."

"A spirit?"

Lin Shanshan and the others widened their eyes, asking in surprise, "Are you saying that crow has become a spirit?"

Long Fei didn’t say anything and urged them to hurry up and eat.

It was already the afternoon, and they needed to reach their destination and meet up with Yu Fangming before it got dark.

The old man was in the motel, already getting pretty impatient.
