"You... Celestial Sword Pavilion, don't push us too far, the Palace Master is in Danfeng City!"

Seeing Qin Yang completely disregard the threat of war with the Dark Palace, the third tributor's face turned angry.

However, he was helpless now. The two strongest experts of the Celestial Sword Pavilion were present and had taken the Young Palace Master hostage. Did they really have no choice but to hand over the treasures they collected?

"Forget it, third tributor, just give it to them!"

An Xingchen suddenly took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.

In this situation, this guy clearly doesn't play by the rules, brazenly snatching things without fear of war with the Dark Palace. Tonight, he could only temporarily accept the bad luck.

Upon hearing those words, the third tributor's face sank. Then, with a resentful look glanced at Qin Yang, nodded and said to a black shirt disciple: "Give them the backpack."

"Yes, Third Tributor."

The black shirt disciple responded and handed the backpack to Qin Yang.

"Yeah, and the silk bags at your waists."

Qin Yang pointed at the silk bags at An Xingchen and the third tributor's waists, saying that the silk bags obviously contained the Violent Dragon Pills.

Upon hearing this, the third tributor's face immediately became unsightly. He and the Young Palace Master had more than two hundred Violent Dragon Pills combined, which wasn't a small amount.

"What, unwilling?"

Qin Yang raised his eyebrows.

"Fine, take them."

The third tributor took a deep breath of suppressed anger and handed over the silk bags from his and An Xingchen's waists.

"Let's go!"

After An Xingchen and the others retreated with unsightly expressions, Qin Yang sat happily at the bonfire with the backpack and began to inspect the spoils.

"Two White Saliva Fruits, four Earth Fire Ginsengs, seven Cyan Wood Vines... and quite a bit of Red Blood Grass and Connectivity Grass."

Qin Yang counted the items. Rare fire attribute spirit medicines were fairly plentiful in the Fire Sparrow Mountains.

"Hehe... you love snatching things even more than I do, thank you."

Seeing Qin Yang's actions, the girl in purple dress slightly lifted her red lips as laughter as clear as silver bells echoed in the night.

"Haha, no worries, even if it was without you, I probably would have snatched their stuff too. By the way, what's your name?"

Qin Yang said with a smile, feeling some good affection toward the lively girl in purple before him.

"I'm... Zilan."

The girl in purple blinked her beautiful eyes.

"And you with the pretty elder sister?"

"I'm Qin Yang, and she's Bi Luoyue. So, why are you in this deep mountain at such a late hour?"

Qin Yang asked.

The girl before him seemed two or three years younger than him, probably around fifteen. She was definitely a beauty in the making.

"I sneaked out from home."

Zilan said, popping out her fragrant tongue.

"Sneaked out?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang smiled.

"Qin Yang brother, are you going to Danfeng City tomorrow?" Zilan asked.

"Yes."

Qin Yang nodded his head.

"Oh."

Zilan's tone contained a hint of small disappointment.

"What's wrong, do you have an aversion to Danfeng City?"

Qin Yang asked curiously.

"When I sneaked out last time, I went to Danfeng City, and someone who knows me was there. Last time, he was the one who caught me back."

Zilan pouted, resting her small hand on her fragrant cheek, and said.

Listening to this, Qin Yang felt amused. This sneaking out wasn't her first time already.

"Do your family often torture you, that you're always sneaking out?"

Qin Yang asked.

"Not really, they're very good to me, just a bit traditional. They always want me to train, train in a very hot place..."

Zilan lightly furrowed her delicate brows and said with a bitter expression.

"A very hot place?"

Qin Yang asked curiously, wondering what kind of place that was, probably helpful for cultivation.

"Qin Yang brother, can you take me to play outside the Fire Sparrow Mountains?"

Zilan blinked her beautiful large eyes, looking at Qin Yang.

"No problem, but I have to go to Danfeng City first."

Qin Yang nodded and immediately said.

"That's great, Qin Yang brother and Bi sister, tomorrow I'll first take you to Danfeng City, then I'll go play with you outside."

Zilan said with joy on her little face.

"Aren't you afraid that person might catch you again?"

Qin Yang asked with a smile.

"I'll just be careful. See, I'm wearing boy's clothes now; he probably won't recognize me, plus he doesn't usually go out much."

Zilan said with a giggle.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang felt quite amused. Given her pretty appearance, how could clothing make people unable to recognize her?

The next morning, the sunlight poured down.

The two women sat atop the Fire Flame Lion, and Qin Yang naturally felt embarrassed to sit while he placed a Wind Manipulation Technique on himself and followed beside the Fire Flame Lion.

Under Zilan's guidance, the three walked smoothly.

"That's the main mountain of Fire Sparrow Mountains—Fire Sparrow Mountain. Danfeng City is within the mountains."

An hour later, Zilan pointed at a mountain peak and said.

Fire Sparrow Mountain looked as if cleaved by a divine axe, split into two. Between it lies a wide stone path constructed by humans.

On either side of the stone path were maple forests adorned with red maple leaves fluttering down, falling onto the stone path, creating a stunning view.

Qin Yang and the others walked over a thousand meters along the stone path, where an ancient city appeared in the vision.

The city was set in the mountains, its walls constructed of blue stone, exuding a sense of solidity under the sunlight.

Currently, at the city gate, there were two rows of soldiers dressed in fiery red armor watching the ancient martial artists entering and exiting Danfeng City.

Of course, among these ancient martial artists, most were entering while few were exiting, as it was the market day in Danfeng City.

"Qin Yang brother, entering Danfeng City requires paying one Violent Dragon Pill as a city entry fee per person."

Zilan said.

Qin Yang nodded and took out three Violent Dragon Pills, handing them to the city guard responsible for collecting the entry fee.

Upon entering the city, the two women had already dismounted the Fire Flame Lion.

The roads inside the city were paved with white marble, very spacious, and flanked by many maple trees, each growing vigorously with their fiery leaves inviting attention.

The buildings on either side of the streets retained the ancient style and charm of Huaxia.

From the sky, this ancient city seemed nestled amidst burning maple forests.

"Qin Yang brother, the maple trees here are this color all year round. Beautiful, right?"

Zilan stood beside Qin Yang, picked up a maple leaf, and said with a giggle.

"Yes, it truly deserves to be called Danfeng City."

Qin Yang smiled, nodding, with eyes slightly narrowed. The fire spiritual energy within Danfeng City was a bit more dense than outside.

Inside Danfeng City, there were many ancient martial artists, and Qin Yang also saw some riding demon beast mounts—Cyan Wind Wolves, Red Leopards... One even rode an elephant-like demon beast mount.

It was akin to driving luxury cars on the streets in the Mortal Realm, but not only Qin Yang noticed, though owning demon beast mounts was ultimately rare.

"Qin Yang brother, Bi sister, let's go stroll through the market."

Zilan's clear eyes held a touch of excitement as she tugged on Bi Luoyue's sleeve, saying this. It was clear this girl had been cooped up at her home for a long time.
