  Feng Ruo did not return to the small valley where the Wooden Spirit Stone was located, but instead headed north towards the North Peak. He even intentionally left behind various clues, because he dared to conclude that with Chu Tian and his gang's arrogance, as long as Ma Yuan and the others mentioned this matter, they would definitely come with a large group of helpers to search for him. At this time, if he hid in the small valley, there was a great chance of being caught red-handed. After all, although the entire East Peak was vast, as long as one searched carefully, it wouldn't be difficult at all.

  Now he has moved to the North Peak, just to divert Chu Feng and others' attention away from the East Peak. After all, that piece of Wood Spirit Stone is extremely important, and no matter what, they cannot let them discover it.

  Of course, Feng Ruo didn't worry about his own future either, because Beifeng and Dongfeng had always been the territory of Tianji Academy. Chu Feng and others were so high-profiled in this place, they would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the three generations of Tianji Academy disciples.

  It's nothing if it were usual, but Fang Ruo remembers very clearly that Chu Feng had announced not long ago that the Western Peak Valley was the territory of the Tianji Institute. He doesn't believe that those three generations of Tianji Institute disciples would swallow this bitter humiliation! As long as the Tianji and Tianji Institutes' disciples start fighting each other, he will be much safer then.

  Of course, there is also a possibility that the Tianji Institute will show weakness and can only watch as the Tianxu Institute dominates, but this possibility is small. The discord between the two institutes has been going on for a long time, and if it were just Chu Tian who could suppress the Tianji Institute, then it would be somewhat unbelievable. After all, in his view, many of the actions taken by the high-level members of the Qingyun Sect are often tacitly acknowledging the conflicts between the three generations of disciples. Although he is not clear about the reasons behind this, it can be certain that this approach must be related to a kind of confrontation on a certain level.

  When Duan Feng rushed to the North Peak, he stopped at a mountain cliff with a wide view. He wanted to wait for Chu Tian and his men here, but not to fight them, rather to play hide-and-seek on this North Peak.

  Because the terrain of Beifeng is more treacherous and changeable than that of Dongfeng, the forest is also denser. If Fenge has absolute confidence, even if Chutian brings 50 people to catch him, he cannot be caught in this terrain. He can afford to waste time, but those people under Chutian's command cannot.

  And this was already the best solution he could think of, in short, drag it out!

  Thinking of this unexpected gain, Feng Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud. To think that Ma Yuan was indeed very cute, when asked to hand over all the five-element stones, he really handed them all over, a total of sixty-three pieces. On the other hand, Xi Yuqiao had a lot of tricks up his sleeve and only took out fifteen pieces. However, adding Liang Shi's forty-one pieces and his original five pieces, his wealth suddenly increased significantly, reaching one hundred and twenty-four pieces. Even after paying back the eighty pieces for buying the White Crane, he still had forty-four pieces left over.

  This number was something that people didn't even dare think about in the past.

  Apart from this, there is also that one excellent sword, although it's not a famous Longquan product, but it's still several times stronger than his Reflecting Moon short knife. Especially if his magical power is sufficient, he can continue to refine it with the Five Elements Stone, which is extremely effective in increasing the sword's lethality.

  Of course, what made Feng Ruo most satisfied was that he unexpectedly obtained the second layer of Qingyun's heart method, so at least for a very long time in the future, he didn't have to worry about cultivating his skills.

  At this time, as the sun sets in the west and dusk approaches, Feng Ruo still hasn't waited for Chu Tian and others to come and capture himself, which makes him feel very strange, because this is completely inconsistent with Chu Tian's overbearing personality.

  After some deliberation, Feng Ruo still decided to return to the main peak of Qingyun Mountain to investigate, but also had to be on guard against Chu Tian and those people ambushing in secret.

  Unseal White Feather Crane, seal if convenient to take advantage of the last bright color on the horizon towards Qingyun Mountain's main peak and fly away. Because if you wait a little longer for the sky to completely darken, it will be too late. It can be said that this is also the biggest drawback of White Feather Crane as a mount, which is that it cannot fly in the dark. Only those combat mounts are not affected by this.

  After the night had completely fallen, Feng Ruo finally arrived at the main peak of Qingyun Mountain. However, what he found strange was that he hadn't encountered any interception, until he reached his residence and was startled by the scene in front of him!

  All he saw was that the bamboo shed he had built with great difficulty before had disappeared, and not far away, more than a dozen third-generation disciples of Qingyun Sect were surrounding a bonfire, laughing and talking loudly about something, seemingly very excited.

  At first, Feng Ruo thought these people were Chu Tian's subordinates, but soon he discovered through the firelight that among them were Qu Yun, Kong Fei, Tang Qing and others. As for the rest, they were all third-generation disciples of the Tianji Academy, not a single person from the Tianxu Academy.

  "Strange? Could it be that Chu Tian is so all-powerful and vast, yet he's even sent people from the Tianji Institute to hunt him down?" Feng Ruo was secretly puzzled, but immediately felt it was impossible. Not to mention the long-standing contradictions and conflicts between the Tianji and Tianzhui Institutes, just recently Qu Yun and his group had their low-grade spiritual spring taken away by Chu Tian, how could they coexist peacefully?

  At this point, Feng Ruo hesitated for a moment before revealing his figure and walking forward. As soon as he appeared, Qu Yun and the others discovered him, but due to the darkness, they couldn't recognize him for the time being.

  "Who comes?" Several people shouted in unison, quickly drawing their swords.

  "Hey! Is it Fang Ruo?" At this time, Qu Yun smiled slyly and stopped those who were about to take action, "At this moment, only you can rush here!"

  "Sure enough, you can't fool Brother Qu!" Upon hearing Qu Yun's words, Feng Ruo had already completely relaxed and hastily took a few quick steps forward. Then, more than ten paces away from the crowd, he bowed slightly and cupped his hands in greeting: "Feng Ruo greets all of you elder brothers. It's rare for all of you to be in such high spirits; surely you're not taking advantage of the moonlight to have a barbecue here?"

  Feng Ruo's words suddenly brought a burst of laughter from the crowd, and the slight awkwardness that had existed before also disappeared without a trace.

  "Haha! Feng Ruo, you really did it, beating that Liang Shi like a pig's head, this has truly vented the evil air in my heart!" Qu Yun walked over with a big laugh and patted Feng Ruo's shoulders heavily before leading him to the huge bonfire to introduce him to everyone.

  "Everyone! This is our hunting team's new member, Feng Ruo. Although he isn't a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he's trustworthy. I hope you all will take care of him from now on and not let those people from the Tianxu Institute get their way!"

  "Not bad! If the Tianzhui Institute's Chu Feng dares to be arrogant again, they should be beaten back like today. Let's see if they dare to be arrogant again!" The crowd shouted in excitement, and it was clear that they were all extremely thrilled.

  Upon witnessing this scene, Feng Ru couldn't help but smile slightly. Things were indeed roughly as he had guessed. It seemed that the reason Chu Feng and his people hadn't come to capture him that afternoon was because they were fighting with the Tianji Academy.

  At this time, Qu Yun introduced the rest of the people to Feng Ruo one by one. They all had their own hunting teams and sometimes cooperated with Qu Yun's hunting team.

  After greeting everyone, Qu Yun told Feng Ruo about what had happened in the afternoon. It turned out that he had still underestimated Chu Tian's arrogance and straightforwardness. Not long after Ma Yuan and the other two returned to Tian Xuan Institute in extreme anger, Chu Tian personally led dozens of Tian Xuan Institute disciples to rush to Tian Ji Institute.

  Ask clearly where the daily residence is, Chu Tian and others will burn his simple bamboo shed with a fire, and then destroy more than ten nearby Xiangling rice fields, even killing a dozen or so Xueling silkworms.

  This provocative behavior instantly enraged the Tianji Academy disciples, and sparks flew between them, from initial insults to subsequent chaos, only at the most critical moment, the master of Tianji Academy suddenly stepped in and scolded everyone before dispersing the scene.

  But undoubtedly, the Tianji Institute has taken the upper hand in this matter. Qu Feng and others gathered here mainly to prevent Chu Tian from secretly plotting revenge after suffering such a great loss, which would put Feng Ruo at a disadvantage.

  Upon hearing this, Feng Ruo was also deeply grateful and hurriedly thanked Qu Yun and the others. In any case, he had avoided a lot of trouble by relying on the Tianji Academy's great banner this time.
