Chapter 259: Long Yi: Speechless
Long Yi truly lived up to his title as the ruler of a region, with his combat power and political influence at their peak.
He quickly identified the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and could roughly guess the truth.
"They've targeted me, truly ignorant of their own mortality. If not for..."
Long Yi muttered under his breath, but he didn't say anything he shouldn't have. At that moment, hurried footsteps could be heard, and before long, Long Yan arrived outside the hall.
"Father, Long Yan requests an audience."
"Come in."
Long Yi restrained the gloom on his face and revealed a gentle smile.
Long Yan hurriedly entered the hall and reported, "Father, did you know about the recent disturbance?"
Long Yi nodded. "I know."
"Father, that person..."
"I only injured her and didn't stop her from leaving."
As soon as Long Yan spoke, Long Yi knew what she wanted to say. This was for the sake of more efficient communication.
"What do you think I should do about this matter?" Long Yan asked.
Long Yan didn't know, but since Long Yi asked, she still wanted to answer properly.
"I think the Sea Monster Race's words shouldn't be baseless. But since Father didn't take action, it must be the work of an outsider. This matter is dangerous, and Father is injured, so it's not suitable for you to get involved in a physical confrontation. I'm willing to go as your representative and explain the situation to the Monster Sovereign of the Sea Monster Race. We must resolve the conflict and find the mastermind behind the scenes to prevent a war between the two races."
Long Yan showed filial piety and was willing to take risks. She was Long Yi's daughter, and as a representative, she would indeed have the opportunity to explain herself and prove her innocence.
She was able to analyze the involvement of a third party, which was already a significant improvement.
However, Long Yi shook his head.
Long Yan was intelligent, but still too naive.
Since the mastermind had calculated everything, how could they easily let Long Yan destroy their plot?
If Long Yan dared to go, it would truly be dangerous.
Long Yi had left a backup plan for Long Yan, but there were limits to her protection. It didn't mean that Long Yan could go anywhere without any worries.
However, Long Yan's filial piety was commendable.
"Yan'er, there are some things that can't be avoided. The more I fear taking action, the more things will force me to act. I can hide for a while, but not forever. Don't worry, a little bit of physical activity won't cause any major problems. We agreed on ten years, and I will definitely fight for you within that time."
"Father..."
Long Yi spoke calmly, but his simple words stirred a mix of emotions in Long Yan's heart.
Her mother had passed away early, and her father had been immersed in cultivation all these years, naturally neglecting her affairs.
But every time Long Yi emerged from seclusion, he would inquire about her well-being.
There was little closeness between father and daughter, but Long Yan could still feel the weight of her father's love.
For example, at this moment, he didn't say much, but it struck a chord in Long Yan's heart.
"Alright, no need to be sad. Instead, why don't you go and check on your little lover? Sword Sect is located downstream of the Dragon River, and if the Sea Monsters really take action, they will be in danger."
Long Yi teased her by calling him her little lover, and Long Yan blushed a little, but she still explained, "My spirit bird has a connection with Sword Sect. They encountered a beast tide and have already returned to Little Warehouse Mountain."
"With Sword Sect's strength, how could they escape a beast tide?"
Long Yi immediately asked a fatal question, but Long Yan didn't think too much about it.
What if they were just lucky?
Zhang Chi had experience fighting against a beast tide once, so it was normal, right?
Long Yan didn't conduct an on-site investigation and was unaware of the momentum of the beasts fleeing for their lives, which far exceeded the effectiveness of the Demon Subduing Banner.
In the past, the Divine Ability cultivators could have easily dealt with the beast tide.
But today's beast tide, even with Miao Yin's full effort, could only provide temporary protection.
That's the difference.
Seeing that Long Yan didn't think much about it, Long Yi skipped this topic. At the same time, he walked out of the hall and arranged for Long Yan to watch over the Dragon Transformation Palace. With one step, he headed straight east.
In the Dragon River Basin, there was only him who could confront the Monster Sovereign.
Long Yan's thoughts were not wrong. If it were Long Yan in the past, this fight definitely wouldn't have happened. Ao Mo had a status and wouldn't attack someone of lower cultivation level.
But Long Yi was different.
At the same cultivation level, and with conflicts and disputes, their way of communication was to fight.
Whether they spoke first or fought first, they would eventually go through this process.
Long Yi couldn't shrink back, nor could he.
Ao Mo displayed the Thunderous Sound that traveled thousands of miles, its sound covering the sky. Long Yi couldn't lose face.
As he hurried along, he stirred up his True Qi and conversed with Ao Mo.
This statement was not only for Ao Mo to hear, but also for the frightened people to hear.
"Every wrong has a perpetrator, every debt has a debtor. If you want to find your daughter, coming here won't give you any answers. Why don't you go and ask the nobles if they know that your daughter has become a Monster Sovereign!"
Long Yi's voice also spread throughout the Dragon River Basin, just slightly slower than Ao Mo's.
And, Long Yi played a little trick.
He always followed behind his own voice.
When the voice began to fade, he replenished his True Qi, as if he had shouted.
In reality, he did shout a few times.
But this cheating method wouldn't be seen through by anyone, and it didn't matter anyway.
What was truly impressive was his footwork. When the sound spread to the coastal area, Long Yi arrived.
The aura of a Dao Integration expert was released without reservation, fiercely colliding with Ao Mo's Monster Sovereign aura, confronting each other.
Ao Mo felt Long Yi's aura and knew that someone who could have an equal conversation with him had appeared.
Strength determines the right to speak, an unshakable truth in the Sea Monster world.
Long Yi had the qualifications to have an equal conversation with him.
So, Ao Mo directly asked, "What do you mean by your words?"
He only wanted to find Ao Long now and didn't want to get involved in other matters.
But Long Yi didn't immediately answer his question, instead talking about his fight with Ao Long.
Not going into too much detail, in short, he won and injured Ao Long.
Although Ao Long was injured, she still had the ability to act.
After all, she was originally a Monster Sovereign. Those who hadn't reached this realm would most likely have only one way to die even if they encountered an injured Ao Long.
And within the Dragon River Alliance, there was no one with a cultivation level equivalent to Ao Long's.
So, Long Yi directly targeted the sea clan.
But how could Ao Mo believe Long Yi's words? Because Ao Long had only recently broken through and went to the land after the breakthrough.
Therefore, besides himself, only the Western Emperor knew that Ao Long was a Monster Sovereign.
But why would the Western Emperor harm Ao Long?
Their family had no grudges with the Western Emperor, and they usually got along well. The Western Emperor had no reason to do this.
"It must be that you want to sow discord among our clan, that's why you're saying such outrageous things. I won't believe you. Anyway, my daughter encountered something in your territory, no matter who did it, you all have to give me an explanation!"
Long Yi: "..."
He didn't like talking to stubborn idiots. He had already given you the answer, why don't you believe it?
