Chapter 197: Running Away, Running Away Swiftly
In Long Yi's sleeping chamber, Long Yan brought a bowl of tonic soup that nourishes the body and cultivates the essence.
The Dragon Transformation Palace has ruled over the Dragon River Alliance for so many years and has collected quite a few good things.
Now that Long Yi is in trouble, naturally, they would use whatever medicine is available.
Spirit Medicine doesn't need to be refined into pills; it can be boiled into a medicinal soup. The green soup in the bowl emits a faint fragrance, clearly a highly nourishing substance.
Long Yi casually took it but didn't drink it. He just said, "The restriction in the Dragon Transformation Palace has been lifted. Why don't you go find Zhang Chi and tell him about your agreement to become Dao companions?"
Speaking of this, a blush appeared on Long Yan's face again.
In the heat of the moment, she agreed to become Dao companions with Zhang Chi. But upon reflection, Zhang Chi said it was a fake marriage and they would make plans later.
But now the situation is obviously different. They can't fake a marriage. Long Yi is waiting for her to continue the Dragon family's lineage, which means they must have children.
Because of this change, she hasn't figured out how to face Zhang Chi yet.
Although Zhang Chi's temperament has become a bit stubborn, he still trusts and respects her as an elder sister. How could she do such a thing?
Zhang Chi previously agreed to pretend to be Dao companions with her just to help her deal with trouble. But now she made a decision without consulting him.
The more Long Yan thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Zhang Chi. Naturally, she didn't dare to return to Little Warehouse Mountain.
Moreover, her father is seriously ill. Even if she is infatuated, she can't abandon her father to find her lover.
"I have already written a letter to him and sent it over."
"What messenger did you use?"
"The spiritual pigeons raised by the sect."
"In that case, it's fine."
Long Yi's words seemed to have some deep meaning. Long Yan vaguely felt something strange but didn't think too much about it.
She watched as Long Yi drank the medicine before feeling relieved. She said, "Father, rest well. I'm going out. If you need anything, just call me."
"Mm."
After Long Yan left, Long Yi sent out two communication talismans.
"Go to Little Warehouse Mountain and take care of Sword Sect."
Long Yi's voice was steady and full of vitality, clearly not that of an injured person.
His eyes sparkled with wisdom, showing his confidence in controlling everything.
Right now, he just wanted to know what choice Zhang Chi would make.
Long Yan's letter was delivered quickly. Spiritual pigeons are Spirit Beasts specially used for delivering letters. They are extremely fast, even faster than the flying speed of ordinary cultivators.
When Zhang Chi received the letter, he couldn't help but startle.
Oh no, trouble has come.
In the letter, Long Yan mentioned wanting to change their original agreement and marry him to have children, asking if he was willing.
Long Yi only has ten years left to live, and this is top-secret information that Long Yan also knows the importance of. Since they haven't officially become a couple yet, she can't reveal it.
In the letter, there was more of her shyness and anticipation.
Shyness is natural for a girl when she tells a man she considers her younger brother that she wants to marry him and have children.
Anticipation is her hope that Zhang Chi will accept her.
A few traces of a girl's thoughts were all in the letter.
But Zhang Chi saw a terrifying killing intent in it.
Why did Long Yan suddenly change her mind?
There must be something unusual behind abnormal behavior. Zhang Chi had some guesses, considering that Long Yan returned because Long Yi was injured.
It's possible that something big happened to Long Yi, which is why he urged Long Yan to have a child quickly.
Furthermore, the Water Monsters have already reached the Profound Heart Sect, and the Dragon River Alliance still advocates for peace. Now it all makes sense.
There must be a problem with the Dragon Transformation Palace, which is why they allowed the Water Monsters to repeatedly cross their defense line.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for the Water Monsters to be so close to their doorstep while the Dragon Transformation Palace still insists on peace.
Zhang Chi had great confidence in his judgment. Based on this judgment, Long Yan's proposal to marry him at this time means that the killing intent has arrived.
If Yin Xun knew he had no chance, he would definitely choose to kill him.
If Zhang Chi put himself in Yin Xun's shoes, he would know what Yin Xun would do.
When they had no major grudges, Yin Xun targeted him like that. Now, he would probably not hide it and directly send strong people to wipe out his sect.
Both Sword Sect and him have a danger mark on their foreheads!
"What are you afraid of? With me here, whoever comes will die."
Gu Youyou said domineeringly, giving Zhang Chi a sense of security.
However, if Gu Youyou took action, they would not be able to cultivate peacefully.
He couldn't explain why he suddenly became so powerful. Even if he could pass it off, the outside world's attention would still fall on him, completely deviating from his stable development path.
"For the current plan, retreat is the best option."
Zhang Chi had some other thoughts, such as this might be intentional on Long Yi's part.
Since Long Yi had shown appreciation for him, he probably wouldn't allow Yin Xun to control the Dragon Transformation Palace anymore.
However, arbitrarily removing a palace lord who had both merits and hardships was not good for the reputation of the Long family.
When people's hearts scatter, it's difficult to lead a team.
In that case, they could only let Yin Xun make mistakes on his own so that Long Yi could deal with him.
However, Zhang Chi didn't dare to gamble with his own life and fortune on whether Long Yi had made a move.
The most secure method was to immediately run away.
They needed to be fast, as they didn't know when the enemy would attack.
Zhang Chi put down the letter and immediately called for Cai Yu.
"Cai Yu, go tell everyone to pack up and prepare to support the Profound Heart Sect with me.
Also, go tell the people from the Spiritual Medicine Valley about our actions and see if they are willing to join."
Of course, Zhang Chi wouldn't say that they were fleeing, as that would be embarrassing if it got out.
But going to support the Profound Heart Sect was different.
The Profound Heart Sect was currently in a standoff with the Monster Race, and that was the focus of everyone's attention. If Yin Xun could still succeed there, then the people of the entire Dragon River Alliance would lose face.
This trip could also help increase their reputation. Why not?
If it weren't for Yin Xun, Zhang Chi definitely wouldn't do something like this.
But there was no other choice. They were forced into it.
Zhang Chi's orders were conveyed, and the entire Sword Sect was dumbfounded. Ling Elder immediately came over and questioned, "Zhang Chi, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes."
"Our disciples, except for you and me, have a maximum cultivation level of Qi Condensation Ninth Layer and a minimum of Qi Condensation First Layer. With this level of strength, going to the Profound Heart Sect is just going to our deaths."
"Our strength may be weak, but we can go to support the logistics. It can be considered as our contribution.
At this time, unity is strength. Are we going to watch the Profound Heart Sect be breached by the Water Monster and let the Monster Race rampage in our human territory?
The miserable state of the Sword Sect seems like it was just yesterday. If we ignore the Profound Heart Sect now, what is the difference between us and them back then?
Fellow disciples, do you want to live a comfortable and leisurely life on the mountain, or are you willing to go to battle with me?"
"Go to battle!"
"Go to battle!"
The remaining members of the Sword Sect were all hot-blooded youngsters. After Zhang Chi's instigation, they immediately became impassioned.
Ling Elder: "..."
She finally remembered Jiang Qingyun's evaluation of Zhang Chi back then.
This child is good in every way, except that he is too upright.
Having him as a senior brother, she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
But it was precisely this kind of foolish behavior that ignited the long-extinguished passion in Ling Elder's heart.
"Alright, since you are all united, I won't be the bad person. If you're going, I'll go with you!"
