Chapter 200: Giving the Immortal Cultivation World a Shock of the Fan Circle
It has always been easier to add flowers to brocade than to send charcoal in the snow.
When Zhang Chi supported the Profound Heart Sect in its most dangerous time, he was the first to provide substantial support, even though they were the weakest. This move deeply moved the people of the Profound Heart Sect.
Zhang Chi's words and actions in the Talisman Treasure Sect's secret realm had already created a good reputation for Zhang Buqi, and today it further solidified his reputation.
When the Sword Sect's ship arrived at Profound Tranquility City, there were already many disciples of the Profound Heart Sect who had received the news waiting at the dock.
Leading them was the senior sister of the Profound Heart Sect, Yan Hongyi.
The Profound Heart Sect advocates red, and they all wear red clothes. A vibrant group of people welcomed them at the dock, and as more and more people gathered to watch, the momentum became even more grand.
Many disciples of the Sword Sect felt a bit shy when they saw this scene, but Zhang Chi was confident and composed.
He stood at the bow of the ship, holding a long sword, his white clothes fluttering, his long hair flowing in the wind. At first glance, he looked like an immortal in the mortal world.
The people of the Profound Heart Sect originally came to see what kind of person Zhang Buqi, who was legendary, was like. The projection they had in their minds was somewhat inaccurate.
When they saw a Perfected Being, the female disciples of the Profound Heart Sect's eyes lit up. Even the senior sister Yan Hongyi, who was always aloof and known for her cold beauty, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
The male disciples did not show any signs of jealousy. When the gap is too big, they can only envy.
Zhang Chi's handsome appearance made them feel that a real man should be like this.
It probably won't be long before the white clothes in Profound Tranquility City are sold out.
Zhang Chi smiled faintly. He came here to give the Immortal Cultivation World a shock of the fan circle.
The ship stopped, and Zhang Chi led the team off the ship. Yan Hongyi also took a few steps forward and clasped her hands, saying, "Yan Hongyi of the Profound Heart Sect, thank you, Fellow Daoist of the Sword Sect, for your help."
For the Profound Heart Sect to send the senior sister to welcome them was already giving the Sword Sect face. After all, Zhang Chi, as the senior disciple in charge of the Sword Sect's affairs, was of the same generation as Yan Hongyi. It wouldn't be appropriate for the elders to come and welcome them.
Zhang Chi humbly said, "Fellow Daoist is too kind. Our Sword Sect is currently in a difficult situation, with weak strength and only a burning passion. I hope to contribute a little to the fight against the Monster Race."
"Fellow Daoist, you are being too modest. Your willingness is already enough. Everyone has traveled a long way, so let us first settle in the city!" Yan Hongyi said.
"In that case, thank you."
Zhang Chi's grand arrival by boat and the quick response from the Profound Heart Sect upon receiving the news was not surprising.
Seeing someone coming to welcome them, Zhang Chi knew how much pressure the Profound Heart Sect was under.
Clearly, he had taken a risky move. The Profound Heart Sect could be attacked by the Water Monster at any time, as this was the front line.
Now it depends on what Long Yi will do. If the situation is not right, Zhang Chi can only protect himself.
However, he needs to show a bit more enthusiasm now.
So, after Yan Hongyi arranged accommodation, Zhang Chi took the initiative to approach her, hoping to take on some tasks that would help fight against the Water Monster.
Seeing his enthusiasm, Yan Hongyi knew that he was sincere and not just putting on a show.
This person truly has integrity and is admirable.
Little did they know, Zhang Chi was actually solidifying his image.
They were using the pretext of supporting the Profound Heart Sect, so they couldn't just sit around and do nothing after arriving at the sect. That would seriously damage their reputation, and their so-called support would become a mere show.
Therefore, Zhang Chi had to be proactive and active, not only to gain a good reputation but also to seize the initiative.
After all, he had already made it clear that the Sword Sect was nothing more than a bunch of weaklings. If the Profound Heart Sect assigned him a task that was too dangerous, it wouldn't look good.
Sure enough, Yan Hongyi wasn't prepared for this sudden question from Zhang Chi and could only reply, "Since Fellow Daoist said so, then come with me to meet the sect master of my sect!"
As the senior sister of the Profound Heart Sect, Yan Hongyi didn't have the same authority as Zhang Chi.
After all, the Profound Heart Sect was a major sect, and Yan Hongyi hadn't fully grown yet. There were many seniors above her, so it was natural that she couldn't make decisions.
Under Yan Hongyi's guidance, Zhang Chi and Elder Chong Ling climbed the mountain together.
The Profound Heart Sect was built on the mountain, with water in front and mountains behind, creating a beautiful scenery.
Due to the Water Monster incident, even with Yan Hongyi's guidance, they went through several inspections before finally arriving at the Xuanxin Hall.
In the Xuanxin Hall, the sect master of the Profound Heart Sect and several elders received Zhang Chi and Elder Chong Ling.
The sect master of the Profound Heart Sect, with the title Xuanming, was very enthusiastic and polite. He chatted with Elder Chong Ling for a long time, exchanging pleasantries.
However, one of the accompanying elders seemed indifferent.
Perhaps he thought the Sword Sect was too weak and their arrival was pointless.
As for the humiliation commonly seen in martial arts novels, it did not happen.
The people of the Profound Heart Sect looked down on the Sword Sect's strength, but the Profound Heart Sect was a large sect, and they had to consider their own reputation.
In the end, the Profound Heart Sect assigned two tasks to the Sword Sect.
One was to patrol certain water areas within the Profound Heart Sect's territory, and the other was to set up a temporary rescue point.
Because the Spiritual Medicine Valley was with the Sword Sect, this task was actually given to them.
The river patrol was a lesson learned from the Pill Cauldron Sect.
The Pill Cauldron Sect had built an impenetrable defense line, which was indeed impressive. However, the Water Monster chose to take a detour, making the Pill Cauldron Sect's defense a joke.
Having learned from the mistakes of others, the Profound Heart Sect naturally became more cautious and couldn't fall into the same trap again.
But the Dragon River basin had a developed water system, with Dragon River tributaries everywhere, and they didn't know which water areas had hidden currents.
The manpower of the Profound Heart Sect is limited, and it is impossible to take care of everything.
The arrival of the Sword Sect has indeed solved an urgent problem.
Patrolling work is not dangerous. If any abnormalities are found, they just need to send a signal and do not need to engage in combat. It is a relatively suitable job for disciples of the Sword Sect.
The temporary relief point in the Spiritual Medicine Valley is the place where the wounded are temporarily saved. This is the real important thing.
With the easy and safe job at hand, everything is going quite smoothly.
Shortly after Zhang Chi took on the task, news of various volunteer forces was also released.
In addition to major sects like the Celestial Melody Pavilion, there are also various smaller sects. Excluding the people from the Dragon Transformation Palace, they managed to gather ten Divine Ability experts and an uncountable number of Divine Soul experts.
Support from various sides is about to arrive, and the anxious hearts of the Profound Heart Sect members finally stabilize.
"Is this the power of an example?"
Yan Hongyi was at the dock, tallying the gathered intelligence, but she was actually thinking about the Sword Sect, the first to come for support.
Although the strength of the Sword Sect is slightly inferior, their actions have set an example for other forces.
However, the treatment they received does not match their contributions.
Yan Hongyi couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Zhang Chi and the Sword Sect.
They were the first to arrive, but the elders of the sect were too indifferent.
Yan Hongyi felt that in such a situation, not being enthusiastic was already considered impolite.
However, she couldn't comment on the matters of the sect's elders.
Thinking about these things, Yan Hongyi couldn't help but have an idea.
"After finishing today's work, I'll go and see the situation of the Sword Sect. It's a good opportunity to meet Zhang Chi and see if he needs any help."
Yan Hongyi didn't even realize it herself, but she actually just wanted to go and see Zhang Chi. Everything else was just a reason she convinced herself with.
While Yan Hongyi was contemplating, she suddenly heard the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo flutes. She looked upstream and indeed, the Celestial Melody Pavilion's treasure ship had arrived.
The people of the Celestial Melody Pavilion have a preference for music. In addition to their music-based martial arts, they also enjoy pleasant and melodious music.
This treasure ship is the representative work of the Celestial Melody Pavilion. Wherever it goes, there is three-dimensional surround sound.
In terms of appearance, the Celestial Melody Pavilion is the most eye-catching among all the sects in the Dragon River Alliance.
Before seeing the person, one can hear their sound.
As the treasure ship slowly docked at the pier, the music also stopped.
Miao Yin Perfected Being led the team off the ship, and Yan Hongyi went to greet them.
"Yan Hongyi of the Profound Heart Sect, respectfully welcomes the seniors."
The Celestial Melody Pavilion is an upstream sect, so Yan Hongyi's respect is not excessive. The others who accompanied her to greet them were also cautious, afraid of any improper words or actions that might cause trouble for the sect.
Miao Yin Perfected Being is a relatively easygoing senior. She smiled slightly and said, "No need for excessive courtesy. Thank you for waiting here for so long."
Yan Hongyi was a little stunned when she heard Miao Yin Perfected Being speak. Her voice was just too pleasant to the ears.
Miao Yin Perfected Being didn't mind. Many people react like this the first time they hear her speak. It takes time to get used to it.
Her voice is not only pleasant, but also carries a certain charm and rhythm. This is something she naturally possesses, even if she cultivates to the Divine Ability Realm, she still can't control it.
So when people hear her speak for the first time, they might feel a bit confused, but the impact is not too great.
Yan Hongyi quickly recovered and said, "I apologize for my rudeness, Red-clothed."
"It's alright."
Miao Yin Perfected Being said nonchalantly, then suddenly asked, "I heard that the Sword Sect has already come to support you. Where are they now?"
Yan Hongyi didn't know why she was asking about the Sword Sect, but she answered truthfully, "Fellow Daoists from the Sword Sect arrived yesterday and are already patrolling today."
"Oh? So fast?"
Yan Hongyi took this opportunity to increase Zhang Chi's favorability and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang was already prepared to shoulder this responsibility yesterday, but the disciples of the Sword Sect were too exhausted, so it was postponed until today."
"Truly unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. I would like to meet him. Is that possible?"
Miao Yin Perfected Being asked.
Yan Hongyi was speechless for a moment.
Miao Yin Perfected Being is a representative figure of the Celestial Melody Pavilion. Since she came to Profound Tranquility City, it is natural for her to speak with the sect leader and elders as soon as possible.
This time, the Supreme Elder was dispatched, and if the protocol was not followed properly, the people of the Celestial Melody Pavilion might have objections.
If Miao Yin went to see Zhang Chi first after such a grand reception, it would be embarrassing for everyone.
It might even cause trouble for Zhang Chi.
Yan Hongyi quickly explained, "The sect leader and the elders are waiting. How about meeting them first and then going to find Zhang Chi?"
Miao Yin Perfected Being is a free-spirited person, but she is not ignorant of worldly affairs. If that's the case, the sect leader of the Celestial Melody Pavilion would not have sent her as the leader this time.
She also realized that it was inappropriate to go see Zhang Chi first and quickly changed her mind, saying, "I was just thinking casually. Alright, let's go meet the sect leader of your esteemed sect first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Yan Hongyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and led the people from the Celestial Melody Pavilion up the mountain.
Not long after the people from the Celestial Melody Pavilion left, the people from the Treasure Weapon Sect also arrived...
