Chapter 138: Long Yan's gaze became sharp (Third Update)
Through Caiyu's account, Zhang Chi and the others also learned about the outcome of the battle.
From start to finish, it didn't exceed thirty seconds.
"The ugly woman rushed up!"
"The ugly woman finished killing!"
This kind of strength is truly terrifying.
Zhang Chi thought that in such a short distance, the other party must have known of their presence. Caiyu, this foolish bird, never speaks softly.
Therefore, after the battle ended, Zhang Chi decisively led the people to run away.
Wenren Li noticed Zhang Chi's escape and glanced at him from afar.
Although she thought about going over to snatch some fire sparks, Zhang Chi was avoiding her, so she couldn't chase after him.
The alliance between them was very fragile, lacking the most basic trust.
Not approaching each other was the greatest goodwill.
Wenren Li initially wanted to find Zhang Chi to share an important piece of information with him.
The fragments of the Dao can amplify a person's desires, and it is difficult to detect.
The stronger one's will, the less affected they are.
And on the way, she encountered a ghost, giving her another piece of information to share.
On this island, someone has already turned into a ghost.
They still have human intelligence, but they can no longer be considered human.
Ghosts are much more ferocious than humans, so one must be extra careful.
However, with Zhang Chi's ability, she didn't need her reminder.
The most important thing is Wenren Li's own affairs. She wants to squeeze something out of Zhang Chi in pursuit of the Great Dao, without feeling ashamed.
But now is not the best time to take action. Wenren Li decided to follow him first and wait for the right moment.
Seeing her actions, the audience became restless.
They didn't know about the hidden relationship between Wenren Li and Zhang Chi, so in this situation, when they saw Wenren Li's actions, they would only think that she intended to harm Zhang Chi.
In the Longcheng Tavern, a man with a gentle appearance listened to the discussions of the people around him, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
His name was Wenren Tingyu, a branch of the Wenren Family.
He came to Western State with only one purpose, which was to let Wenren Li die without tarnishing the reputation of the Wenren Family.
Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, Wenren Li fell into a dangerous situation.
The location in the projection was clearly a dangerous place, and Wenren Li's actions were also displeasing.
Since she has already lost the support of the people, even if he kills her under the pretext of cleaning up the family, it wouldn't damage the reputation of the Wenren Family.
Even if someone finds out, there is no way to criticize.
Such a good thing should be made known.
While Wen Ren Ting Yu was happily drinking, the entire Dragon River region was in chaos.
The collapse of the four sects downstream is not a big deal. The Dragon Transformation Palace and the Tianyin Pavilion are still intact. The Water Monster can't cause much trouble, at most it can reach the middle reaches.
But the impact caused by the projection of the Talisman Treasure Sect's secret realm is too great.
For several consecutive days, scenes of hell were playing in the sky in real time, making many people uncomfortable.
Many cultivators couldn't calm their minds and cultivate, their minds were in chaos.
What's even more terrifying is that some imitative behaviors have already appeared in reality.
Some people who were eager to seek the Dao but had no master saw the projection in the sky and discovered that becoming a ghost could gain powerful strength. So, they voluntarily turned into evil spirits.
If this situation continues to escalate, the entire Coiling Dragon River region will completely collapse.
The cultivation of human cultivators often progresses gradually, so although their foundation is stable, their progress is slow. Breaking through realms usually takes years.
But ghosts are different. The more they eat, the more they strengthen rapidly.
In the Coiling Dragon River region, in addition to cultivators, there are also a large number of mortals. If those who have turned into ghosts start killing mortals everywhere, their strength will increase significantly in a short period of time.
The development of the Immortal Gate sect cannot be separated from the stability of the mortal world.
Immortal seeds can also be born from mortal bodies. Although children born to cultivators have good aptitude, if a sect relies solely on the children born to its internal disciples for cultivation, it should not be called a sect, but a family.
The mortal world has always been the main source of disciples for sects, relying on the large number of mortals. The more there are, the greater the probability of giving birth to children with exceptional aptitude.
Therefore, the righteous Dao sects often carefully maintain the order and stability of the mortal world.
If the mortal world is in chaos, the cultivation world will also be in chaos.
Therefore, the Dragon Transformation Palace quickly gathered the elders to discuss countermeasures, and Long Yan was also among them.
She was originally staying at the Talisman Treasure Sect, but Yin Xun used the excuse that it was unsafe there and forcibly ordered her to come back.
So now her expression is not good.
Yin Xun, on the other hand, doesn't care. If he can't win Long Yan's favor, he can at least please Long Yan's father.
The arrangements he made for him were highly praised by the Patriarch, which is enough.
"Fellow Daoists, after the incident at the Talisman Treasure Sect, people's hearts have been in turmoil during this period of time. And now the Water Monster is causing trouble. Our sect is facing internal and external troubles.
Fortunately, loyal and devoted individuals are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good..."
"Palace Master, just say what you want to say directly, don't use too many empty words and clichés."
Long Yan rarely doesn't give face to others, but this time she is truly angry.
When she proposed to support the four sects downstream, no one supported her. Even if she volunteered to go alone, she was refused.
She wanted to focus on investigating the Talisman Treasure Sect's situation, rescuing the survivors inside, and mitigating the negative impact of the projection. But Yin Xun did everything he could to force her back to the Dragon Transformation Palace.
It's really infuriating!
At this moment, she couldn't be bothered to give Yin Xun face, and directly confronted him, making Yin Xun's face turn black. But considering her identity, he couldn't retort, so he could only suppress his anger and say, "There are three main things."
First, some disciples from the downstream four sects have fled to the middle realm. In light of our alliance, we should provide them with some assistance.
Speaking of this, Long Yan felt even more angry. We agreed on an alliance, but when the war started, we were intimidated by the Monster Race predecessors and refused to send troops for rescue.
If there had been alliance support, the people from the downstream four sects would not have ended up as refugees.
But now that things have come to this point, there is no use in blaming anyone.
Long Yan could only say, "I am willing to represent the Dragon Transformation Palace and receive the survivors from the downstream four sects."
Long Yan took the initiative to volunteer, and Yin Xun had no reason to refuse, so he had to agree.
"The second matter is the incident at the Talisman Treasure Sect, which serves as a great warning to us. From today onwards, we need to increase the food reserves in our sect's storeroom. The storeroom is a crucial place and must be guarded by dedicated personnel. We cannot blindly rely on talisman formations."
The lesson from the Talisman Treasure Sect was indeed too painful.
Those who were watching from the outside thought that the people inside were too foolish. They couldn't even use storage rings anymore, yet they didn't take good care of the remaining food and let it all burn in a fire.
If the storeroom of the Talisman Treasure Sect hadn't caught fire, they could have endured for a while longer and easily lasted a hundred days.
Not everyone would have survived, but at least most of them would have been fine.
How did it come to this point where they couldn't even face it directly?
"The third matter is that the dome projection has already had a very negative impact. We have discovered several instances of people imitating it. Let's discuss and come up with regulations to prevent this. We must maintain secrecy and not let any information leak, especially in my jurisdiction of the Dragon Transformation Palace. We must ensure peace and harmony."
Upon hearing this, Long Yan couldn't help but sneer.
She thought Yin Xun had changed his ways and prioritized the safety of his jurisdiction, but she didn't expect that he only cared about becoming one of the four officials of Western State.
The so-called officials of Western State were just empty titles. The alliance in Western State was much looser compared to the Dragon River Alliance.
In Western State, there were seven major powers, and the Dragon River Alliance was one of them, with the Dragon Transformation Palace as the main force.
This was because the Dragon Transformation Palace had a Dao Integration.
Among the other seven, some were strong and some were weak. The Dragon River Alliance was already in the fourth or fifth position. In recent years, the Dragon River Alliance's development had been quite good, so it was reasonable for the sect's ancestor to become one of the four most powerful officials in Western State.
Becoming an official meant a higher status on the surface, but they couldn't occupy the territories of other forces. After so many years, the territories of the seven major powers were basically fixed.
The status of an official was just an useless title for the sect. Yin Xun attached great importance to it.
Compared to the downfall of the downstream four sects and the turmoil caused by the projection, this official position seemed insignificant.
Long Yan felt resentful, but seeing everyone else eagerly discussing the blockade policy, she couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"You all can continue discussing. I'll leave first."
Long Yan knew that arguing with these people would be useless. Everyone thought she was a willful and spoiled young lady, an idealist. No one would listen to her.
Since that was the case, she could only do what she could.
She left the meeting and called some disciples who were willing to follow her, then went to the dock to prepare a ship.
The dock in Dragon City was more than ten times larger than the one in the Left River League. The Clearwater Port in the Left River League could only accommodate two large ships, while here, it could accommodate twenty or thirty.
Looking around, everything was thriving.
Originally, one should be able to see the prosperous scene of a flourishing era here, but nowadays, people are rushing around with visible irritability on their faces.
Long Yan had already noticed that as the people in the projection began to fall into evil, the spectators also became restless.
This projection is definitely not simple. She specifically talked to Yin Xun about it, and even talked to her father about it, but no one took her words seriously.
At this moment, Long Yan finally realized that the power she possessed in the Dragon Transformation Palace was not as great as she had imagined.
Apart from money, she had nothing.
Fortunately, she had a broad mind. She would do as much as she was capable of. She was not completely ignorant like a naive young lady.
"To rescue the survivors of the Four Sects, money is the top priority."
Long Yan calculated in her heart the things she needed, and then went on a shopping spree in the market.
While strolling through the medicine shop, Long Yan didn't miss it.
She just wanted to purchase some commonly used Spirit Medicine, but she saw a familiar sign.
It was the symbol of a sword, with several unique patterns around it.
This was the symbol of the Left River League.
"Shopkeeper, are you from the Left River League?"
Long Yan looked at the temporary shopkeeper, a middle-aged man who looked very honest.
"I am Tang Feng, the Valley Master of the Left River League's Spiritual Medicine Valley."
Long Yan: "..."
So you are Tang Feng?
Long Yan's expression visibly collapsed.
Originally, she was thinking of rescuing the people from the downstream Four Sects herself. If she could meet someone from the downstream who had also formed an alliance, it would be convenient for the rescue operation to unfold.
But it turned out that this person was Tang Feng!
"Is your daughter named Tang Ruoling?"
Long Yan asked again. Tang Feng was also curious. Tang Ruoling had never left the Left River Territory, so how could she know someone in Dragon City?
But Tang Feng didn't think too much about it and simply said, "Yes, I have a daughter named Tang Ruoling."
Long Yan: "..."
What bad luck.
Her temper exploded in an instant, and she couldn't hold it back even after suppressing it for a moment.
"The Left River League has been attacked by Water Monsters. Your daughter should also be in danger. How can you still be at ease selling medicine here?"
Tang Feng immediately looked innocent and said, "But my daughter is right here!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yan's gaze suddenly became sharp...
No more than three thousand words, but close enough to nine thousand words, rounding up to five chapters.
