Chapter 340: Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention, and Best Friend Prevention
The story is divided into two parts. First, while Zhang Chi was peacefully cultivating, Hong Li became busy because of Zhang Chi's involvement.
The indomitable spirit of the Red Carp Monster King has been shattered. He originally thought he would be invincible in the Divine Ability Realm, but he was first evenly matched by Wenren Li, then beaten by Gu Youyou, and now beaten by Jin Ling'er.
Hong Li began to feel like a useless person.
In this world full of crises, it's better for her to be cautious.
Therefore, before confirming that Zhang Chi was not around, she decided to stay hidden in the water.
However, things still needed to be done, so she could only rely on her allies.
Hong Li's communication with her allies was very secretive. She placed a red fish in a specific location and patiently waited at the agreed-upon spot.
Red represents urgent contact, white represents everything going smoothly, and yellow represents things heading in a bad direction.
That night, a person in a black robe arrived by the water's edge.
"The Sword Sect's spiritual veins have been destroyed, and the alliance has launched an investigation. Why don't we destroy the remaining three sects' spiritual veins in one fell swoop? You should have the strength to do so."
"It's not that I don't want to, but someone has come to disrupt things. They are powerful, and I can't defeat them."
"Who is it?"
"Sword Sect's Zhang Chi, and an unfamiliar white-haired woman. That person is extremely skilled, probably not a local."
"I see. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Yes, in order to save my life, I revealed the matter of the Long Family's formation. Zhang Chi raised a question about why Yin Xun could have access to such a big secret."
"..."
The person in the black robe pondered for a moment before saying, "But the formation does exist, whether it's true or false. Besides continuing, we have no other choice."
"I understand. I'll wait until Zhang Chi and that white-haired woman leave before taking action."
"Good. I'll inform you if there's any news."
After a brief communication, the two quickly separated.
This was a very secretive meeting. The tasks the two had to accomplish were absolutely confidential. Once discovered, both the person and the monster would fall into an irreversible situation of Myriad Tribulations.
Hong Li hid underwater and lurked. Of course, even in hiding, she wouldn't waste her cultivation time. Since her cultivation progress was slow, she continuously practiced her combat skills.
This is an octopus.
On the other side, the person in the black robe returned to the Celestial Melody Pavilion and removed her disguise, revealing her stunning beauty.
Celestial Melody Pavilion's Miao Qin.
Both Zhang Chi and Hong Li guessed her identity, but they still had to maintain their disguises.
Upon receiving Hong Li's message, Miao Qin felt pessimistic.
Compared to the freedom Hong Li enjoyed, she faced greater restrictions. She couldn't tell anyone about this matter, after all, she was cooperating with the Monster Race.
At the same time, she also had to guard against her allies.
Profound Heart Sect and Pill Cauldron Sect seemed to have formed an alliance with her, but after the spiritual veins of Sword Sect were destroyed, representatives from both sects came to test her.
Others were not fools, they knew that Celestial Melody Pavilion was different from them, and conveniently not within two-thirds of their range.
However, Miao Qin still managed to deceive them and pushed all the blame onto Hong Li.
It was reasonable for Hong Li to know about the collusion between Yin Xun and Hong Li at the time.
But even though they could pass off the situation on the surface, it couldn't stop their doubts.
Unfortunately, this was also the time when Zhang Chi brought people to interfere, and the feeling of being surrounded by enemies was truly unpleasant.
However, no matter how great the risks were, she had no choice but to proceed.
She was getting older and probably didn't have much chance of breaking through Dao Integration, but with Miao Yin's talent, the opportunity was still quite significant.
For the future of the younger generation, she could only take a gamble.
Compared to this, she was more worried about Long Yi's intentions.
She took Hong Li's words to heart.
With Yin Xun's methods, he shouldn't have the ability to steal such secrets from Long Yi, which meant that Long Yi intentionally leaked the information.
Was he trying to let someone destroy the spiritual veins?
But what benefit did that bring to him?
Miao Qin found it difficult to understand. She vaguely felt that her speculation was probably correct, but what was Long Yi's purpose in destroying the spiritual veins?
"Forget it, there's no need to think about this. Let's just drive Zhang Chi away first."
Miao Qin gave up on thinking, as it was useless anyway.
Long Yi was playing a game of strategy.
If she was afraid of his calculations, then she should never destroy the spiritual veins and never hope to break through Dao Integration in her lifetime.
If she wanted to break through Dao Integration, she had to destroy the spiritual veins for him.
Since it was an unsolvable situation, there was no need to think about it.
Miao Qin called her maid and instructed, "Go and send an invitation letter to Zhang Chi from Sword Sect, inviting him to be a guest at Celestial Melody Pavilion and participate in the Celestial Melody Festival."
The Celestial Melody Festival was a music exchange conference held by Celestial Melody Pavilion, where cultivators showcased their cultivation and also accepted spectators from other sects.
Because Celestial Melody Pavilion focused on the integration of emotions and the Dao, each person's Dao was different, but they could all integrate emotions and music, so this kind of festival was beneficial to the participants.
There were also quite a few people who relied on the musical rhythm of Celestial Melody Pavilion to assist in their cultivation, so this festival could be considered one of the most important events of the Dragon River Alliance.
The maid didn't know why Zhang Chi had to be invited separately, but she still followed Miao Qin's command and prepared the invitation letter.
Miao Qin's intention was to use a gentle strategy to make Zhang Chi leave, but it was different for the other investigators of the alliance.
They arrived at the Sword Sect's old site and found Zhang Chi cultivating, guarded only by a white-haired woman, which inevitably gave rise to other thoughts.
The world of Immortal Cultivation is full of smart people, but it also lacks no fools, especially those who foolishly use chicken feathers as arrows.
By bringing up the identity of the alliance, they would be splashing the dirty water of disrupting the spiritual veins onto Zhang Chi and Jin Ling'er.
But Jin Ling'er is the Saintess of the White Tiger Sect, so would she indulge them?
She directly beat up the younger ones and naturally forced the older ones out, and then she was beaten up by Jin Ling'er.
In the Dragon River Alliance, perhaps only Long Yi could defeat Jin Ling'er.
Showing their powerful strength, the people of the Dragon River Alliance became timid, and some recognized Zhang Chi. Jin Ling'er didn't want any more trouble, so she revealed the truth.
The people of the Dragon River Alliance proposed to let their disciples come here to cultivate, and she didn't stop them.
When Zhang Chi woke up from his cultivation, he saw many people around him, as well as a tiger and a bird.
Before Jin Ling'er could speak, Cai Yu started howling.
"You finally woke up, my dear friend! You have no idea how I've spent these past few days! I thought you wouldn't come back, so I even prepared a grave for you!"
Zhang Chi: "???"
What nonsense has this bird learned?
Cai Yu proudly spread its tail feathers, raised its head and chest, looking like a proud peacock, as if it had done something remarkable.
"Well, thank you," Zhang Chi said sarcastically. Cai Yu didn't understand his mood and thought it was really being thanked, so it raised its head even higher.
This stupid bird...
Forget it, Zhang Chi couldn't be bothered to argue with Cai Yu. He looked at Jin Ling'er and asked, "What's their situation?"
"They're here from the Dragon River Alliance to investigate. I've told them everything, and then they decided to cultivate here as well," Jin Ling'er casually said, not mentioning the fact that she had beaten someone up.
She didn't think it was necessary to mention such a trivial matter. Gu Youyou also thought that since Jin Ling'er could handle it, it wasn't a big deal, so she didn't wake up Zhang Chi.
When Zhang Chi heard that everything had been said, he knew that Jin Ling'er had left out most of it.
The matter concerning the Long Family was not convenient to be made public for the time being, and Jin Ling'er knew how to handle it.
"If there's nothing else, let's go back first!"
During the time he was cultivating, both White Tiger and Cai Yu had come over. One could navigate, and the other could move at extreme speed. This combination was quite perfect.
"Don't be in a hurry. The people from the Celestial Melody Pavilion know you're here and specially sent you an invitation. Do you want to go?" Jin Ling'er asked with an inquiring tone, but her face clearly showed two words: "I want to."
The Celestial Melody Pavilion's Celestial Melody Festival has a good reputation in the Western State. As the Saintess of the White Tiger Sect, she had participated before.
She used to think it was nothing special, but now she was already looking forward to it if she could go with Zhang Chi.
"I've spent quite a bit of time cultivating here. Long Yan is probably still worried!"
Speaking of Long Yan, Jin Ling'er's joy in her eyes diminished slightly. She calmly said, "I've already found a way to send a message back. Don't worry, they won't be worried."
"That's good."
Zhang Chi didn't insist on going back, but he had to follow the proper procedures.
Otherwise, if he was having fun outside with Jin Ling'er and didn't care about the worries of his companions at home, it would damage his upright image.
"Since we're going to the Celestial Melody Pavilion, why not stop by Little Warehouse Mountain? It's a good opportunity to introduce you to them."
With Zhang Chi's words, Jin Ling'er became happy again.
"How...how are you going to introduce me?"
"Saintess of the White Tiger Sect, the number one in Divine Ability, a master of artifact refining, and my future partner."
"Hmph!"
Jin Ling'er's mouth curled up crazily, and she almost became a copy of Cai Yu.
Only little White Tiger had a confused face.
What's going on?
They've only been apart for a few days, how did they become partners?
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest, and I'll prepare some gifts for your junior brothers and sisters."
Listening to Zhang Chi's introduction, Jin Ling'er felt a sense of responsibility as an elder sister.
She actually knew a lot about Zhang Chi. Although they didn't communicate much, Long Yan had said many good things about Zhang Chi in order to improve their relationship.
As a result, Jin Ling'er had unknowingly become quite familiar with Zhang Chi.
She knew everything that Long Yan knew.
Including some things that she shouldn't have known.
After knowing Zhang Chi's experiences, Jin Ling'er actually had a good impression of him. In addition to Zhang Chi winning against her in artifact refining and saving her face, she had developed feelings for him.
If she didn't already have enough goodwill, she wouldn't have wanted to cultivate with Zhang Chi in the Secret Realm.
At that time, she did want Zhang Chi to survive as much as possible, but she wasn't completely selfless.
Of course, she couldn't let Zhang Chi know about this little secret, otherwise, she would become a woman who coveted her sister's man.
As for falling in love with him, let's just say it happened after that. Before that, it was all friendship.
Long Yan never imagined that she wanted to bring her sister and her partner closer, but accidentally brought them too close...
