Chapter 214 Surrender To The Enemy
Chapter 214: Defection
Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was fierce, but my deep sleep couldn't dispel the remnants of alcohol.
There was a unique scent in the air, not just Wenren Li's body fragrance.
Although Zhang Chi had experienced a momentary excitement, he couldn't neglect the aftermath.
Long Yan's perception was already sharp. With a slight movement of her nose, she could detect it. It would be troublesome if she found out.
The characteristics of the Queen of the Night flower could perfectly solve this problem.
Zhang Chi always carried Queen of the Night flower seeds on him. By using his wood-based spiritual power to nurture them, he could quickly absorb the smell in an entire room.
Indeed, this flower was the best choice for home and travel, for killing and arson.
Moreover, it was a common-level herb that could be ripened with wood-based spells. If it were a Spirit Medicine, it wouldn't ripen so quickly.
In this world, the cultivation of Spirit Medicine mainly involved infusing wood-based spiritual energy to accelerate growth. However, the acceleration was limited, and Spirit Medicine that had experienced the ripening of spiritual energy had a basic limit on their age.
At most, they were under a hundred years old, with the mainstream being between ten to thirty years, which was enough for most people in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages.
Spirit Medicine that was over a hundred years old could only be found in remote mountains or secret realms with few people. The higher the age, the more precious and effective the medicine.
If Spirit Medicine couldn't withstand the ripening of spiritual energy, ordinary flowers and plants would naturally find it even more difficult.
These Queen of the Night flowers would bloom for at most one day before quickly withering.
The seeds they produced would also have defects in the future.
But it didn't matter. These flowers were not rare, and Zhang Chi had prepared quite a few of them.
Long Yan didn't notice the special use of the Queen of the Night flower. Instead, she was captivated by the name "Lover's Heart" and specifically asked Zhang Chi for one.
Of course, Zhang Chi didn't dare to give it to her easily. The flower would wither soon, and Long Yan might notice something.
Although she was a bit naive, her intuition was sharp.
Zhang Chi didn't want to lose because of a detail.
So, he picked up a flower and applied a talisman to it, performing a simple ritual.
Long Yan was surprised and asked, "What are you doing?"
"If the flower withers, Sister will probably be sad. After I perform the ritual, it won't wither," Zhang Chi replied.
Seeing how carefully Zhang Chi considered it, Long Yan couldn't help but feel moved, but she pretended to be proud and said, "Am I such a sentimental person?"
That's what she said, but Zhang Chi could see through people accurately.
If the Lover's Heart withered, she would definitely be upset because it was a Lover's Heart that Zhang Chi had given her.
And now, what Zhang Chi gave her was a Lover's Heart that wouldn't wither. In essence, it meant that Zhang Chi's feelings for her wouldn't wither.
She would round it off.
"By the way, last night..."
As soon as Zhang Chi started speaking, Long Yan remembered what he had said before falling asleep last night, and his blood surged.
"Nothing happened last night. I have to go now, there are important matters to attend to. Goodbye."
Long Yan swiftly ran off like a gust of wind.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but chuckle, then he released Gu Youyou.
After exercising for too long last night, Gu Youyou's working time was squeezed, and now Zhang Chi was feeling a bit tired, so he let Gu Youyou out slowly.
Gu Youyou checked and found that the purple aura had become stronger. Every time she absorbed Wenren Li's essence, there would be gains. If this continued, Zhang Chi would eventually become a true Body of the First Star.
It's strange to think about it. The Body of the First Star is already a rare thing, and it's also strange that this special physique can be repeatedly absorbed and restored.
Throughout history, Zhang Chi is not the only one who has mastered the method of absorption. Why hasn't anyone developed a way to repeatedly absorb and restore the physique?
Is there something wrong with Zhang Chi, or is there something wrong with Wenren Li?
Gu Youyou felt that there was something wrong here, but her reasoning and analytical abilities were weak, so she didn't think too much about it.
Let it be!
While Zhang Chi enjoyed a peaceful time, a conspiracy against him slowly unfolded.
Going back to last night, when the Profound Heart Sect hosted a banquet for Long Yan and Wenren Li, the injured strong ones were all resting.
Yin Xun also left the table halfway and didn't directly cause trouble for Zhang Chi. Instead, he found Elder Chen Yin and Elder Cheng Feng.
Chen Yin and Cheng Feng were furious when they saw Yin Xun. They wanted to chop him into pieces.
After being punished by Long Yi, they didn't hate Zhang Chi or Long Yi. They only hated Yin Xun for being so treacherous.
Even though they had no hope left, Yin Xun intentionally plotted against them, making them go and kill Zhang Chi, and bloodbath the Sword Sect.
In the end, the plan was exposed, and they ended up in their current situation. If not for that, they would still be the esteemed Divine Ability Elders, and there would be no need for them to take the risk of killing monsters.
Seeing Yin Xun approaching, Elder Cheng Feng was furious.
"How dare you come to see us! Damn you!"
If it weren't for the need to consider the impact outside, they would have wanted to slap Yin Xun to death.
Yin Xun, of course, was not panicked. Since he came, he was confident that the two elders wouldn't kill him.
Under Chen Yin's restraint, Cheng Feng didn't make a move. Yin Xun calmly said, "Elder Cheng Feng can kill me, but if you kill me, I wonder where the two of you plan to find a way out?"
"Could it be that the two of you want to complete that impossible task?"
Chen Yin and Cheng Feng exchanged glances, their faces darkened.
During the large-scale battle with the Monster Race, they were truly focused on their operations, but there were indeed some people in the team who were slacking off.
The Divine Abilities of several small sects didn't contribute much throughout the entire battle, they were like ornaments, and in the end, they were all taken care of together.
Of course, it is expected that they couldn't fully exert their strength in the team fight. Yin Xun only made two effective assists, one for an ally and one for an enemy.
This also made the two of them realize the difficulty of killing enemies.
This Divine Ability battle didn't last long, less than an hour. After all the fighting, only one Plant Monster was killed.
One's actions were as fierce as a tiger, while the other's were like a beginner.
The only one who killed an enemy was Miao Yin with her Tianyin Secret Art, summoning thunder to kill the clueless water-based Plant Monster.
Plant Monsters are most afraid of thunder. If it were an animal monster, it might have been able to withstand the attack.
If killing one enemy is so difficult, how much more difficult would it be to kill five?
Cheng Feng and Yin Xun were worried about this matter, but unexpectedly, Yin Xun came to them. His words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"What's your plan?"
Yin Xun didn't rush to speak, but took out a green jade from his pocket.
"This item is called the Barrier Jade. Within a yard, it can block the perception of insect-like spirits."
Insects are also bugs, so as long as they are within the range of the Barrier Jade, they won't receive the messages they should receive.
All three of them have been cursed with insects. Once they show any abnormality, if they are monitored by the insect mother, they will probably die instantly.
Only the Barrier Jade can guarantee their safety.
At least, their secret plan won't be discovered.
Yin Xun had been the Palace Master for a long time and had some resources in his hands. It wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain something to temporarily counter the insects.
However, these insects were not simple. It was not realistic to remove them.
Once the insects were alarmed, they would die a miserable death.
Unless they broke through Dao Integration, the insects inside their bodies couldn't be separated from the host without alarming the insect mother.
Seeing Yin Xun taking out everything, Cheng Yin also gave him an opportunity to explain.
But he also made it clear from the beginning.
"If you have any ulterior motives and want to harm us, don't blame us for being heartless."
When Yin Xun heard Cheng Yin say this, he knew that the cooperation was almost certain.
If he didn't cooperate with the Divine Ability experts, relying solely on his own strength, he wouldn't be able to change his fate.
"I won't do that this time."
Yin Xun said confidently, "Before, I had no one to rely on, but now we are on the same boat. If the boat sinks, we will all die."
"What do you plan to do?"
Cheng Feng asked impatiently.
Yin Xun smiled confidently and said, "Long Yi has no intention of letting us live. He pretends to be righteous, but he is extremely hypocritical. I understand now that everything was deliberately calculated by him, just to pave the way for Long Yan.
In order for Long Yan to be able to control the Dragon Transformation Palace steadily in the future, can he still keep us?
Even if Long Yi keeps his promise and is willing to give us a way out, will Long Yan spare us?"
Yin Xun's words hit the nail on the head.
Cheng Yin and Cheng Feng couldn't help but glare at him with resentment.
If it weren't for being deceived by this person, how could they have fallen into such a situation?
Now, they have to cooperate with him again, how can the two elders not feel resentful?
"You better come up with a good plan, otherwise, I will definitely kill you."
Cheng Feng said with a cold killing intent.
Yin Xun remained calm and said, "Long Yi will no longer give us a way out. Resistance is our last chance."
"Are you crazy?"
Cheng Feng looked displeased, feeling like he was being played.
Isn't this a joke?
Even if Long Yi is injured, they are not opponents. Only if all the strongest Divine Ability experts in the Dragon Transformation Palace unite, is there a slight possibility of defeating Long Yi.
But the strongest Divine Ability experts in the Dragon Transformation Palace are loyal to the Long family, and there is no reason for others to follow them to their deaths.
Moreover, they are cursed with strange insects, and the insect mother is controlled by the leader of the Purple Dragon Guards under Long Yi.
Yin Xun's proposal is simply outrageous.
If Cheng Feng didn't want to hear him out, he would have killed him already.
"I know Long Yi is very powerful, so you don't dare to resist. But we may not be able to resist Long Yi, but there are people who can."
"Who?"
"The Water Monster Race."
"You want us to defect?"
"Just to stay alive, and you don't need to defect. Leave the contact with the Water Monsters to me, and you just need to cooperate with my actions.
If it succeeds, you can all escape from this predicament together. If it fails, it won't implicate you. How about it?"
"You have such good intentions? What are the conditions? Let's hear them together!"
Cheng Yin saw through his ulterior motives at a glance.
Sure enough, Yin Xun replied, "All I ask for is one small thing.
As long as the two of you find the opportunity tomorrow to delay Long Yan from finding Zhang Chi, leave the rest to me!"
