Chapter 130: The Poison Circle is Here (4th Update, Please Subscribe)
Gu Youyou did not perceive Zhang Chi's calculations.
With her intelligence, she couldn't possibly detect Zhang Chi's subtle manipulations.
Zhang Chi interacted with her in a normal manner, never deliberately expressing determination or attitude. However, he was skilled at making Gu Youyou notice the differences in his behavior through details.
Little did she know, what she discovered was exactly what Zhang Chi wanted her to discover.
As their relationship grew closer, Gu Youyou naturally spoke more.
"So, you really plan to ally with her?"
"The more friends, the more paths."
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a matter of mutual interest. No need to be jealous."
"What do I have to be jealous about!"
Gu Youyou's anger flared up upon hearing this, but Zhang Chi didn't argue with her, which made Gu Youyou even more anxious.
"I'm really not jealous."
"Well, I believe you."
"You don't believe me at all!"
A beautiful day began with Zhang Chi infuriating Gu Youyou.
After teasing Gu Youyou, Zhang Chi went about his own business, accepting the gifts he should receive and burying the person on the spot.
The alliance was automatically formed, and there was no need for any confirmation ceremony.
Wenren Li was trouble, and Zhang Chi didn't want to get involved with her. However, cooperating inside the secret realm was still possible.
The secret realm was dangerous, and even someone as powerful as Wenren Li could be ambushed. Zhang Chi was no exception.
He had the cultivation of Foundation Building, but he was not invincible in the secret realm.
Moreover, there were puppeteers behind the secret realm. What he needed to do was be cautious, careful, and survive.
Whether it was a matter of opportunity or not, he wouldn't argue.
Whenever there is a benefit that requires many people to fight for, even if it is eventually obtained, there will be many troubles.
Losing one's life for this is truly unnecessary.
During these days, Zhang Chi acted like a Voldemort, only ambushing some weaklings who were alone and collecting scattered fragments to maintain a stable number of his own fragments.
When encountering a powerful team, he would hide and not reveal himself.
Now that he had an ally, he had some assurance.
Of course, neither he nor Wenren Li could trust each other too much. In critical moments, they would definitely keep a backup plan.
After taking care of Lu Luo's affairs, Chen Runyu and Zi Mian also returned.
Chen Runyu seemed a bit frustrated, so Zhang Chi asked with concern, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
"I didn't find any fragments during these two outings."
Seeing the diminishing harvest, his mood naturally worsened.
"It's okay, the total number of these fragments is limited, so it's natural that there are fewer and fewer to pick up."
Zhang Chi comforted Chen Runyu, but he wasn't optimistic in his heart.
Based on the current situation, although this Battle Royale game seemed to favor the survivors, in reality, the winner would still be the king.
With the temptation of becoming a Dao, and the crisis of food driving them, conflict was inevitable.
Moreover, Zhang Chi remembered what happened when he was hoarding food. It seemed that the people within the Talisman Treasure Sect had already been hoarding food.
Therefore, this turmoil would be more severe than he imagined.
First, all laws are empty, making all beings equal.
Then, the airdrop of Dao fragments, which are both opportunities for enlightenment and crucial items for battle.
After all the fragments are picked up, more things may happen next, guiding the living people on the island to fight, and ultimately, the survivor becomes the king.
The rest will be the dead.
Therefore, the situation is not optimistic, and change may happen in the next second...
Zhang Chi muttered to himself and made a deduction. The next moment, something unexpected happened.
A blue light flashed in the sky, illuminating the entire island. Beyond the blue light, a sinister aura continued to churn.
"The protective formation is broken, the eerie mist is approaching, advancing ten zhang per day, touching it means death."
It was still that familiar voice, but this time, when the voice appeared, the purple halo in Zhang Chi's dantian suddenly trembled. Zhang Chi's perspective suddenly zoomed out, and he saw a vast expanse of water. The water surface was originally calm, with only a solitary boat.
At this moment, clouds and mist suddenly rose from the water, followed by the appearance of a mirage.
The outline of a small island gradually emerged, along with the people on it, all lifelike.
Zhang Chi looked around on the island and quickly found his location.
With just one glance, his perspective was suddenly pulled back. This strange glance gave rise to a bold idea in Zhang Chi's mind.
Are they being live-streamed?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chi quickly compared the scene changes he had seen before. It should be happening in real-time.
Thinking of the rising clouds and mist, and the slightly familiar figure on the boat, Zhang Chi also realized that the mirage should have just formed and the previous scenes were not broadcasted.
Otherwise, how would Zhang Chi face his family in the live-stream room?
That figure on the boat seemed to be Long Yan...
After the sinking of Hexin Island, chaos ensued in the outside world.
Going back a few days, Long Yan had just returned to the sect to report the results of her investigation on the left bank of the river. She informed them of the news of the Water Monster's attack. Before the people from Dragon Transformation Palace could discuss a response strategy, they received news of the sinking of Talisman Treasure Sect the next day.
The news spread quickly because it was discovered by Treasure Weapon Sect, which was relatively close.
Because Hexin Island disappeared abruptly, the water upstream poured down without obstruction, flooding the unprepared ports of Treasure Weapon Sect and causing heavy losses.
After investigating the cause of the flood, they discovered that Talisman Treasure Sect had disappeared.
The first reaction of Treasure Weapon Sect upon receiving the news was that the way it was delivered today was wrong. This news was too damn outrageous.
But after confirming it repeatedly, they believed it.
So the news quickly reached Dragon Transformation Palace.
Upon receiving the news, Long Yan immediately thought of Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi was also on the island!
"No, I have to go find him!"
Long Yan felt uneasy and couldn't sit still.
During the meeting, she spoke directly, "Palace Master, I want to investigate the reason for the disappearance of Talisman Treasure Sect."
The Palace Master of Dragon Transformation Palace was named Yin Xun. He looked young, but his cultivation was profound, and he had the ability to maintain his youthful appearance.
He had a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, and a graceful demeanor. He was the dream lover of many female cultivators in Dragon Transformation Palace.
However, Yin Xun had always been interested in Long Yan and showed no interest in other women.
At this moment, it was Long Yan who spoke up, and Yin Xun's smile naturally became kind. He said, "Junior Sister, you've just returned from a long journey. It's better to rest for a while. Let someone else handle this matter."
Long Yan didn't appreciate it at all and said, "I have a friend on the island, and I must go. Please agree, Palace Master."
Yin Xun suppressed his displeasure and still showed a doting smile. He said, "Since Junior Sister wants to go and rescue a friend, I probably can't stop you. However, please be careful on your journey."
"Palace Master, rest assured. I won't participate in the discussion of the upcoming matters. I'm leaving now."
Long Yan acted swiftly and left without even bringing any attendants this time.
Yin Xun watched her departing figure with a gloomy expression, but it quickly disappeared.
He had to endure!
"Elder Long is really impatient. Elder Feng, Elder Chen, please go and keep an eye on her."
The two elders gladly accepted the order.
Mixing with Long Yan was much better than attending the meeting here.
Building a good relationship with the young miss was more effective than anything else.
However, this time they missed the opportunity.
Long Yan didn't take a boat but summoned a cotton cloud and flew straight to the location where Talisman Treasure Sect used to be...
