Chapter 361: Am I Not Kind?
In the presence of outsiders, Long Yi dismissed the idea of seeking revenge on Sword Sect. He quickly cleaned the bloodstains on his body and patted his chest, but instead of losing consciousness, he widened his eyes.
Then, he was naturally rescued and, under the questioning of the crowd, began to weave a lie.
"When my companion and I arrived, we only heard an angry voice saying, 'Zhang Chi, you actually colluded with demons and slaughtered your own kind.' When we arrived, we only saw corpses on the ground and a young man holding a sword.
That person was a bit weak, but he instantly killed everyone else. I was lucky enough to only be hit by one sword, and then you all arrived."
As he spoke, Long Yi pointed to the corpse on the ground. The crowd was shocked and quickly spread this news.
The news of the near annihilation of the Coiling Dragon River shocked the Western State.
Long Yi of the Dragon Transformation Palace died, and the Celestial Melody Pavilion was almost completely destroyed. The most important elders of the Pill Cauldron Sect and the Profound Heart Sect, both of whom possessed Divine Abilities, died. Two-thirds of the spiritual veins were destroyed, and the remaining ones were also impacted and weakening.
Perhaps in a few decades, the territory of the Coiling Dragon River would become a desert for cultivators.
It was unknown how the Western State would react to this news. Now, let's talk about Zhang Chi, who woke up and found himself at sea.
He was lying on a slippery giant octopus, and the moment he regained consciousness, he called out in his heart.
"Youyou, Youyou!"
However, no matter how he called, Gu Youyou did not respond.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but sigh. Gu Youyou ultimately couldn't escape the setting of her accompanying old man. Even if she was an old lady, she still had to go into hibernation.
But... without Gu Youyou, how could he survive in this dangerous world?
Fortunately, Gu Youyou didn't kill Ao Long back then, so now he still had a Monster Sovereign as a bodyguard.
"Stop for now. What's the situation?" Zhang Chi instructed Ao Long.
Although Ao Long felt that the man in front of her no longer had the same oppressive aura as before, she still didn't dare to defy his orders. She immediately stopped and recounted what had happened earlier.
She successfully obtained the Dragon Ball and had been running towards the sea. Contrary to Long Yi's speculation, she didn't flee in both directions but instead headed east and then north along the direction of the Coiling Dragon River's dragon claws.
It was the river that Zhang Chi had calculated when setting up the layout of the Myriad Spirits Cave.
At the end, she approached the territory of the Myriad Spirits Cave and crossed over the mountain, getting closer to the battlefield between the two clans.
This was Ao Long's escape route.
In order to fight against the Myriad Spirits Cave, the Sea Clan had already pushed the coastline further, making it more convenient for Ao Long to enter the sea.
So, where Zhang Chi was currently located was actually the outer sea near the land.
Of course, there was no danger here. The truly dangerous areas of the sea were in the distant land, where countless sea beasts lurked in the endless deep sea.
But Ao Long had no intention of going to the deep sea. She planned to follow the Western State continent and make a detour back to the Black Imperial Palace.
In the Black Imperial Palace, no matter how resourceful Long Yi was, he couldn't threaten her.
When Gu Youyou returned, she didn't mention killing Long Yi, so Ao Long was unaware.
Gu Youyou only instructed Ao Long to protect herself and then fell into a deep sleep. Ao Long naturally did not dare to be negligent and was cautious all the way.
She had already become a qualified demon servant.
After listening to Ao Long's explanation, Zhang Chi roughly understood the situation.
"Take out the Dragon Ball first!"
Ao Long dared not disobey and quickly spat out a round and shiny pearl from its mouth.
She actually liked this Dragon Ball very much. The dragon energy inside it continuously nourished her, making her feel that her dragon blood had recovered a lot.
She had suffered a great loss from giving blood to Hong Li last time, but unfortunately, Hong Li was useless.
Zhang Chi looked at the pearl and had a faint sense of familiarity.
"Why does this thing seem like something I've seen before?"
It looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you again."
At this moment, the Dragon Ball spoke on its own, startling Zhang Chi.
"We've met before?"
Zhang Chi quickly remembered and said, "You're the pearl from the Talisman Treasure Sect, right?"
"That's right."
The spirit of the Dragon Ball sighed and said, "I thought I would be doomed this time, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Perhaps I should have chosen to recognize you as my master back then."
Zhang Chi: "..."
So, it's a treasure that I picked up, but instead of choosing me, it chose someone around me, right?
Is this considered NTR?
Zhang Chi's gaze at the Dragon Ball became somewhat unfriendly.
This pearl already had a way to end its life.
Considering that it had chosen someone from its own side to be its master, Zhang Chi didn't bother to argue with it anymore.
"Who did you choose as your master?"
"Your junior sister, Chen Runyu. She has a pure and kind nature, suitable for wielding the Dragon Ball."
"Are you implying that I'm not kind enough?"
Ao Long: "..."
Are you even qualified to say that you're kind?
The Dragon Ball truly lived up to its name as a Dragon Ball, as it could see through your true nature at a glance.
The Dragon Ball couldn't respond to this remark. When Zhang Chi revealed himself and unleashed the power of darkness, it sensed the Demonic Qi.
Clearly, it couldn't hand over the Dragon Ball to Zhang Chi, but now that Zhang Chi had it in his hands, it didn't recognize him as its master. Zhang Chi could forcefully refine it.
However, in order to prevent Zhang Chi from forcibly refining it, the Spirit of the Dragon Ball still came up with a compromise solution.
"Although I cannot recognize you as my master, I can pass on the secret techniques of the Dragon Race to you."
This move by the Spirit of the Dragon Ball was equivalent to a territorial concession in order to escape.
At this moment, Zhang Chi was somewhat disinterested, as forcibly obtained fruit is not sweet.
The most crucial point is that he currently does not have the ability to forcibly obtain it.
As a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, he is fundamentally unable to deal with a Law Treasure with spirituality, let alone the fact that the Spirit of the Dragon Ball is not a Law Treasure, but rather a higher-level existence.
It's just that the Spirit of the Dragon Ball was frightened by the aura released by Gu Youyou earlier, and now it doesn't dare to be enemies with Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi also doesn't want to reveal his true intentions, so he said, "That's fine. I won't go and snatch my junior sister's things. You should be able to sense her. Call her over and give the Dragon Ball to her."
The Spirit of the Dragon Ball: "..."
It hesitated, worried that Zhang Chi would deceive Chen Runyu and kill her. If Zhang Chi were a human, it might not be so worried, but Zhang Chi has Demonic Qi within him.
Demonic represents untrustworthiness.
But thinking that besides letting Chen Runyu come over, it has no other choice, it reluctantly released its aura.
Chen Runyu is its master, so naturally she can sense its location.
At this moment, Chen Runyu and Tang Ruoling were cautiously resting in an inn.
This inn is not in the Dragon River territory, but rather a small city belonging to the Myriad Spirits Cave's influence.
Inside this inn, there are also many cultivators, and they are all discussing one thing.
A person named Zhang Chi, colluding with the Demon Race, killed people from various major forces in the Western State, destroyed the Celestial Melody Pavilion, and even killed a Dao Integration expert like Long Yi.
As more and more people investigate Zhang Chi, his information gradually becomes exposed.
At this time, the entire Western State is discussing the madness of Zhang Chi, and this inn is no exception.
Chen Runyu clenched her fist in anger.
She doesn't believe it!
This is definitely slander!
"Even if Senior Brother has mastered the power of the demonic, he is definitely not an evil person!"
If they weren't still in hiding, Chen Runyu really wanted to go out and beat up these people.
Tang Ruoling, on the other hand, is calmer. She said in a deep voice, "Since the Palace Master of the Dragon Transformation Palace is dead, Zhang Chi has no place to defend himself."
"You don't believe him either?"
Chen Runyu was furious and felt that she had made a mistake.
She even taught the true dragon secret technique to Tang Ruoling without reservation. Is she that kind of person?
"You calm down. I'm not doubting him, I'm just telling you about his situation."
Tang Ruoling sighed lightly. At this moment, Chen Runyu had lost her rationality, so she had to be more clear-headed.
Tang Ruoling also believes in Zhang Chi.
Of course, she is also aware that Zhang Chi is not as good as he appears on the surface, otherwise he wouldn't treat her like that.
She has known this for a long time, so she doesn't doubt that Zhang Chi is associating with demons.
However, like Chen Runyu, she doesn't think Zhang Chi is a bad person.
Even if he is bad, Tang Ruoling accepts it.
At least, she has seen that when she is not in this world, Zhang Chi takes good care of Tang Feng and informs him of any issues.
In Tang Ruoling's eyes, that is enough.
Zhang Chi is a very responsible person. As for good and evil, why bother to distinguish so clearly?
"Long Yi is dead, and there is no evidence. Zhang Chi's bad reputation is probably hard to wash away. We should return to the Sword Sect as quickly as possible and inform the people there to evacuate."
Tang Ruoling is not talking nonsense.
So many people from various forces died in the Celestial Melody Pavilion, and the murderer was revealed to be Zhang Chi from the Sword Sect. It's possible that some people will seek revenge on the Sword Sect, and there may be quite a few who would do so.
Tang Ruoling is concerned about the people of the Sword Sect and also worried about her own father.
Only then did Chen Runyu react. The most dangerous thing now is indeed the people of the Sword Sect.
"We can't delay any longer. Let's go now."
"No, I'll go alone."
Tang Ruoling calmly said, "You are the master of the Dragon Ball. We can't confirm whether Long Yi is dead or not. If he is not dead and has obtained the Dragon Ball, going back will be a dead end for you. He can sense your existence with the dragon aura.
If he only has the Dragon Ball, he won't be able to do anything to you."
If the Dragon Ball is not forcibly recognized, it will naturally not submit.
And if it is forcibly refined, since Chen Runyu is no longer the owner, she naturally won't be able to sense it.
Chen Runyu nodded. At this critical moment, she can rely on Tang Ruoling.
"In that case, let's split up and be careful."
"I will. After all, I still have to take Zhang Chi back from that wicked woman!"
Chen Runyu: "..."
If it weren't for her, this wouldn't have happened.
She feels a little embarrassed for no reason.
As Tang Ruoling left, Chen Runyu suddenly felt the presence of the Dragon Ball. The Dragon Ball was actively releasing a signal, calling her over.
Thinking of Tang Ruoling's analysis just now, Chen Runyu felt overjoyed.
This means that the Dragon Ball has not been taken by an evil person, and the person who obtained the Dragon Ball is still calling for her. Who could this person be?
"Senior Brother, it must be you, right?"
