After a while, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer.

Six people in uniform walked over, four men and two women, with tall postures and steady steps.

On their collars, the three words "Wanxiang Pavilion" were clearly engraved, which exuded a sense of majesty under the sunlight.

Gu Shisan hid behind a tree, poked out half of his head, looked around cautiously, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "He is a powerful person, should we take action?"

His eyes were gleaming with eagerness, yet he was a little nervous. After all, this was a disciple from a powerful force and his strength should not be underestimated.

Gu Er frowned, staring at those people, thinking for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Let's see first."

The young master only asked them to rob people of medium strength.

The strength of these Wanxiang Pavilion disciples was higher than theirs, so if they really wanted to fight, they could only rely on sneak attacks. But if the sneak attacks failed, they would fall into an extremely passive situation, so they had to act with caution.

The leading man was a tall, stern-looking young man. He looked down at the messy traces of spiritual herbs being picked on the ground, frowning, and said in a low but powerful voice: "These are traces of fresh picking. There was someone here just now."

Huang Xiner snorted and waved her hand nonchalantly, her tone somewhat casual: "Isn't it normal for people to come here? We are not the only ones who come here to train, so why make a fuss?"

As she spoke, she casually kicked the stones at her feet, with a hint of nonchalance in her eyes.

Shui Wanqin looked solemn, her eyes fixed on the traces on the ground that were clearly left by the fruits just picked. She said firmly, "No, these traces are very fresh, they were clearly just picked. Also, why did they leave in a hurry when we arrived? This is too strange."

An Jinyu nodded and agreed, "Wanqin is right. Things are not peaceful outside recently. Many people have been robbed by a group of men in black. We have to be careful."

Huang Xiner curled her lips in disdain, with a hint of pride on her face: "The strength of that group of people is only at the Void Breaking Realm, there is nothing to be afraid of."

If those people dared to rush over to her without any eyes, she could easily subdue them with just one light move.

Shui Wanqin said: "Let's put this aside for now, the most urgent thing is to get the fairy fruit first."

Song Jiangmo nodded slightly and said concisely: "Let's go."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the fairy fruit tree.

The figures of the crowd gradually moved away until they disappeared into the dense jungle.

At this time, Gu Er carefully removed the formation that concealed their figures.

Gu Shisan's eyes instantly flashed with greed. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said anxiously, "Let's grab it. Those few people just now must be much richer than those people of medium power. If we grab this vote, we will make a fortune."

Gu Er frowned, his expression serious, and his tone firm: "Young Master didn't ask us to rob others, so we should not act on our own."

Gu Shisan disagreed, curled his lips, and said confidently: "Anyway, they are also against the young master. There is no difference between robbing them and completing the task assigned by the young master."

Gu Er sighed helplessly, but still insisted: "It's too risky. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to explain to the young master."

Gu Qi also echoed, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "The fairy fruit sounds like a treasure, the young master will definitely like it."

Gu Er's expression changed constantly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Follow me."

Gu Shisan was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say you wouldn't rob? Why did you change your mind?"

Gu Er had a complicated expression and said in a muffled voice: "Snatch it back to the young master. Since it is something the young master likes, it is worth taking a risk."

Gu Qi snickered and said jokingly, "You said it was too risky, but now you have decided to do it."

Gu Er rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "We are all enemies anyway. If you can't snatch it, just run away. We just need to be careful."

After saying that, he led everyone to carefully follow in the direction where Song Jiangmo and others left.

Mu Yunxi's finger slid gently across the map, and finally stopped at a glowing mark: "The Immortal Fruit quest is the closest to us."

Gu Li leaned forward slightly, looking in the direction Mu Yunxi pointed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said decisively: "In that case, let's go pick the fairy fruit first."

Mu Yunxi bit her lower lip lightly, a troubled look on her face, and muttered, "I don't really want to hand it in after completing the task."

After all, this is an S-level mission, and the fairy fruit to be picked must be a rare and precious thing in the world. It would be a bit unwilling to hand it over so easily.

Gu Li seemed to have guessed Mu Yunxi's thoughts. She glanced at the location of the fairy fruit on the map again, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she lowered her voice and said, "It's okay. We can take down the fairy fruit tree and hand it over to deal with it when the time comes."

As he spoke, he made a "cutting down a tree" gesture, with an expression on his face that was both proud and a little mischievous.

Fairy fruit is the main material for refining fairy pills. One fairy pill can help a practitioner break through a small level.

Even if it is not refined into pills, eating it directly can store spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to cultivation.

If the fairy fruit tree could be planted in the Chaos Ring and nourished by the spiritual energy inside, the fairy fruit grown would be even better.

Mu Yunxi couldn't help laughing, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said jokingly: "Bandits, they don't even let the trees go."

Gu Li touched his nose and said innocently, "This is called rational use of resources."

Gu Er, Gu Shisan and Gu Qi took out three concealment runes and stuck them on their bodies.

After sticking it on, Gu Er whispered, "Don't use your spiritual power."

The other two nodded solemnly, not daring to breathe.

They crouched down, and followed silently behind the Wanxiang Pavilion disciples with slow steps as if they were ghosts.

Along the way, they kept a close eye on the movements around them. Every rustling of leaves and every breeze made them tense.

Not long after, they arrived at the location of the fairy fruit tree.

What comes into view is a cliff. The cliff is steep and dangerous, with an unfathomable depth below. It is filled with layers of fog, exuding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

On the nearly vertical cliff, there grows a huge fairy fruit tree.

The branches of this fairy fruit tree are thick and twisted, like giant winding dragons clinging to the cliffs.

The tree is full of densely packed fruits, each of which is the size of a palm and is a warm emerald green color.

These fruits emit a faint light, which is soft and lively, like stars twinkling among the branches and leaves.

A breeze blew by, and the fruity fragrance filled the air. The sweet scent instantly spread, making people intoxicated.
