As the saying goes, a penny stumps a hero. Moreover, what Jiang Fei and the others lacked was not ordinary money, but Spiritual Stones!
"How about this, why don't you come back to Phoenix Village with me? I still have some Spiritual Stones at home. It should be enough for us to go to other planets." Speaking of which, Yu Wanqiu was really wholeheartedly devoted to Jiang Fei. They had not done anything yet, and she was already taking the initiative to offer her capital.
"Forget it, I'll think of a way myself!" Jiang Fei waved his hand. Through his reading of the Firecloud Pavilion's information, Jiang Fei knew that the reason why the Earth-type Zhen Xing was able to become the leader of the Five Realms was not only because of its geographical location in the core of the Five Realms, but also because Zhen Xing produced Spirit Stones!
The Five Worlds represented the five elements. Among them, Ying Huo, where Jiang Fei and the others were located, represented the Fire Element. The climate here was relatively hot, and most of the cultivators were of the Fire Element.
The other three planets were similar. Chen Xing was of the Wood Element and was located in the East, Taibai was of the Metal Element and was located in the West, while Jupiter in the North was of the Water Element. Although the climate and elements were different, there was not much difference.
However, Zhen Xing in the center was different. The cultivators here had all kinds of elements, but there were not many of them of the Earth Element. Most importantly, the rich Earth Element in Zhen Xing bred a large number of Spiritual Stones. It was precisely because of the help of these Spiritual Stones that the cultivators of Zhen Xing were far stronger than those of the other four major planets.
Because Zhenxing was the main source of Spirit Stones, even though Spirit Stones were precious on Zhenxing, there were still a lot of them. However, it was different on the other four major planets. Even though Yu Wanqiu had a sizable Phoenix Village, she did not have a lot of Spirit Stones!
This was why the people of Zhen Xing could easily go to other planets, but it was extremely difficult for the elites of other planets to go to Zhen Xing. In the end, it was because Spiritual Stones were hard to come by!
Moreover, Jiang Fei did not really intend to treat Yu Wanqiu as a family. He had asked Yu Wanqiu to join the group only because he needed a local guide, so he had already ordered her around for free. If he spent her money, it would be a little too much.
If he did not use Yu Wanqiu's Spiritual Stones, Jiang Fei would have to find a way to go to Zhen Xing himself. Therefore, he immediately set his sights on the Scarlet Flame Sect.
Come to think of it, the Scarlet Flame Sect had been the number one sect on Mars for thousands of years. They must be very rich. Now that they were in troubled times and their survival was on the line, they would not be so concerned about money.
Moreover, even if the Scarlet Flame Sect was a money-grubber and was unwilling to part with some spirit stones, Jiang Fei could still fish in troubled waters with the Alliance Army. After all, the Scarlet Flame Sect's cultivation method and the Fire God's Tooth were already in his hands. He could put on a magnanimous front in front of the Alliance Army and ask for only some spirit stones. If that was the case, the Alliance Army would be very happy to accept it.
After making up his mind, Jiang Fei brought the girls back to the Allied Army's camp.
After returning to the vicinity of the Allied Army's camp, Jiang Fei did not return immediately. Instead, he asked the girls to find a place to set up camp while he snuck into the Scarlet Flame Sect alone.
At this time, the Alliance Army and the Scarlet Flame Sect had already started fighting. Occasionally, Alliance Army cultivators could be seen retreating on both sides of the mountain road. These people were either injured themselves or were carrying injured people on their backs. It seemed that although they had the advantage in numbers, the siege was still very difficult.
Jiang Fei hid in the dark and observed for a while. He realized that although the Alliance Army was already attacking the mountain, the masters of both sides did not participate in the battle. Most of the people fighting were low-level disciples. These people were generally below the Golden Core Stage. Although there seemed to be a lot of casualties, it was just a small fight for all the forces.
"Looks like both sides are waiting for an opportunity!" Jiang Fei muttered to himself. Although he did not know what kind of trump cards both sides had, it was obvious that neither side was in a hurry.
Since the people fighting were all low-level disciples, it was much easier for Jiang Fei to sneak into the Scarlet Flame Sect. After suppressing his aura, he found a remote place. Although it was a cliff and most people could not climb up, it could not stop Jiang Fei.
Soon, Jiang Fei climbed to the top of the cliff. This was located at the back of the mountain of the Scarlet Flame Sect. It was still quite a distance from the basilica.
"Phew … climbing up the mountain is really strenuous …" Jiang Fei sighed. Although it was easy to fly up, it was easy to be discovered. Therefore, he used the most primitive method — climbing!
At this time, the back of the mountain of the Scarlet Flame Sect was eerily quiet. There was not a single disciple in sight. Obviously, the disciples of the Scarlet Flame Sect had been transferred to the front of the mountain to defend.
Jiang Fei sneaked all the way and soon arrived near the basilica. Although his sneaking ability was not as good as professional assassins like Sylphy and Gahrona, he was still strong. Ordinary cultivators would not be able to discover him.
Before Jiang Fei approached the basilica, he circled around the Scarlet Flame Sect a few times. Unfortunately, he did not find the Scarlet Flame Sect's warehouse where the spirit stones were stored.
"Sigh! What a disgrace to my master! " Jiang Fei sighed to himself. After all, he was the disciple of Theon the Great Thief. If word got out that he could not even find the treasure vault, Theon would be furious.
Since he could not steal anymore, Jiang Fei finally decided to go back to his old profession. Although he had not learned how to steal, he was still very good at blackmailing.
Since he had decided to blackmail, Jiang Fei could not hide anymore. Therefore, he released his aura near the basilica of the Scarlet Flame Sect.
"Who's there?" Jiang Fei's release of his aura almost scared the people of the Scarlet Flame Sect to death. After all, he was only discovered in the core area of his home. If word of this got out, it would be a great embarrassment!
"Sect Leader Huang, how have you been!" Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Lord Ambassador?" Huang Sheng was very surprised to see Jiang Fei.
"I originally wanted to leave and not care about the internal strife of Mars, but then I remembered that the Scarlet Flame Sect has been on good terms with the Yuan Family all these years, so I felt that I could not leave you to die …" Jiang Fei said pretentiously.
"Really? That's great! " When Huang Sheng heard Jiang Fei's words, he was immediately overjoyed. Although he had already contacted the former Ambassador of the Yuan Family, distant water could not quench the present thirst. If the allied forces attacked crazily, they might not be able to hold out until the Ambassador arrived.
Therefore, Jiang Fei's arrival was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Huang Sheng. In his opinion, Jiang Fei and the former Ambassador were both from the Yuan Family and were of one mind. With Jiang Fei's help, the Scarlet Flame Sect should not have a problem holding out until the Ambassador arrived.
