Chapter 191: Bluffing
The people of the Wenren Family had underestimated Wenren Li.
Her feelings for her mother were indeed sincere, and she often had dreams where her mother protected her.
Although she couldn't achieve it, she had already sacrificed her life for it.
Wenren Li, who had never experienced a father's love since childhood, saw her mother's love as her last refuge.
The head of the Wenren Family knew this, which was why he thought of using that relic. But Wenren Li was clever, and she knew where her weaknesses lay.
Since she knew her weaknesses and knew that the enemy would attack there, why not use it as a trap?
She couldn't completely cripple the Wenren Family, but it wouldn't hurt to disgust them a little.
As for her longing and attachment to her mother, it didn't depend on a relic.
As long as she kept her mother in her heart, it was enough.
However, Wenren Li had only wanted to provoke the people of the Wenren Family, but she didn't expect her actions to trigger a major battle.
Experts from the Dao Integration Realm fought fiercely outside the Dragon Head Peak, and heavy rain fell throughout the Coiling Dragon River region early in the morning.
The Coiling Dragon River region was already a rainy area, so Zhang Chi didn't think much of it.
Today, he gave Zi Mian a new task to investigate the identity of the Red Carp Monster King.
The portrait was already prepared, and a little investigation would surely yield results.
Zhang Chi was certain that Hong Li was definitely a high-ranking member of the Water Monster Race.
Once he obtained concrete evidence, he didn't believe that the Red Carp Monster King would dare to retaliate.
However, Long Yan didn't know that Zhang Chi had caused a big commotion last night. When she saw Zhang Chi in the morning, she was still a little unhappy.
When they met, she didn't even greet him and went straight to the training hall to give a lecture to the disciples of the Sword Sect.
Zhang Chi found a place and began practicing the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique.
His posture was elegant, which made Cai Yu's heart flutter.
However, after Zhang Chi finished practicing his sword, Cai Yu flew over to him and said, "You've mastered your sword technique. I should leave now."
Although she said that, Cai Yu didn't really want to leave. The mountain was so much fun, and everyone called her Princess Cai Yu. She could play pranks everywhere, and no one would actually hit her.
But...
If she wanted to stay, she needed a reason. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Princess Cai Yu to mooch off others every day on the mountain?
Zhang Chi saw through Cai Yu's thoughts at a glance. He didn't want Cai Yu to leave either. Cai Yu's strength was not strong, only at the Foundation Building level.
To be honest, she was a bit of a disgrace as a descendant of the Phoenix.
As a descendant of the Phoenix, she could only bully small Demonic Beasts like Bai Su. She couldn't even defeat slightly stronger opponents.
But despite her disgrace, her Divine Ability was powerful.
With a bird-shaped monitor, she could control other birds. With her presence, Little Warehouse Mountain was truly safe.
"Does Princess Cai Yu really have to leave? I was thinking of keeping you at the Sword Sect to teach for a while!"
"What can I teach?"
"Just explain some strange and interesting things you know to the disciples, let them also understand this world. Princess Cai Yu has seen and knows a lot, so you should be able to handle it!"
"You have good taste. Princess Cai Yu is indeed knowledgeable."
Cai Yu happily said, "Since we're friends, I'll help you out."
"Thank you. You will always be an honorary elder of our Sword Sect."
No need to pay for work, just food and lodging.
And Cai Yu could go out and catch fish herself. What an excellent worker.
After coaxing Cai Yu for a while, Zhang Chi started a common sense class at the Sword Sect.
The lecturer for the common sense class was a bird, but everyone listened attentively.
Because Cai Yu hadn't read many books, she spoke about her own experiences. To prevent everyone from getting bored, she even mentioned some extremely secretive things.
Of course, she didn't mention her own origins.
But Zhang Chi could basically guess.
This bird most likely came from the Beast Realm in the Southern Continent.
Generally, people from the four continents, east, south, west, and north, would go to the Central State for training.
The Central Continent was the truly prosperous place, with vast territory and many secrets hidden within, making people yearn for it.
However, it was indeed surprising that a weak bird like Cai Yu had come to the Western State.
But Zhang Chi didn't delve deeper.
Everyone has their own secrets, and it's not always necessary to explore others' secrets unless they are enemies.
Seeing that Zhang Chi had no intention of coaxing her and even spent time listening to Cai Yu's stories, Long Yan became even more unhappy.
Feeling restless, Long Yan decided to go out for a walk.
Just as she reached the mountain gate, she received an urgent letter from the Dragon Transformation Palace.
"Father was injured in a battle last night? No, I have to go back and see!"
Upon receiving the letter, Long Yan immediately thought of going back. She didn't even have time to tell Zhang Chi where she was going. She quickly mounted her cotton cloud and flew towards the Dragon Transformation Palace at top speed.
Her every move happened to be observed by Wenren Li.
Wenren Li couldn't help but mutter to herself.
The Dragon Transformation Palace was undoubtedly the ruler in this area, and Long Yan's father was an invincible expert in the Dao Integration Realm. Who would dare to fight him here and even injure him?
Wenren Li's thoughts immediately went to the people of the Wenren Family.
But after careful consideration, she secretly placed the dragon-patterned Pisces jade pendant in Dragon Transformation Palace Long Yi's territory, just to disgust others. Anyway, she had already hidden herself, so no one could find her.
When she became successful in her cultivation, she would come out and seek revenge on these people.
However, she didn't expect that they would actually start fighting.
Couldn't they explain that it was just a misunderstanding?
But since they started fighting, Wenren Li was happy to see it.
They were all her enemies, so it would be best if they killed each other.
Of course, this kind of outcome was unlikely to happen. Even if they fought, they wouldn't fight to the death.
They would probably just get lightly injured!
Wenren Li didn't think much about it and continued to lie low. However, she was secretly curious. Didn't the enchantress from yesterday target Zhang Chi? Why hadn't she come knocking on the door yet?
As the sun gradually set and the sky darkened, Hong Li still hadn't made a move. Wenren Li began to doubt if she had made a mistake.
Could it be that her sudden intervention yesterday scared Hong Li away, and she didn't dare to trouble Zhang Chi?
If that was the case, then it would be a pity.
It was also her fault for overthinking and not wanting to reveal her abilities in front of Long Yan, which caused her to miss the opportunity.
However, Wenren Li didn't know that the Red Carp Monster King she had been thinking about was currently chained up with multiple locks and covered in talismans, locked in a dark basement...
Now let's talk about Zhang Chi. After a day of cultivation, he went to find Zi Mian for information in the evening.
One good thing about Zi Mian was that she could use puppets for remote communication.
She could control the puppets and also know about their communication with others. Therefore, she didn't need to leave Little Warehouse Mountain to give orders and receive information.
However, it had only been a short time, and one day was not enough for the people of Violet Azure Sword Pavilion to gather useful information.
But there was also some good news.
Violet Azure Sword Pavilion had already made arrangements in the territory of the Left River League, and when the Water Monster Race cleared the Left River League, they only wiped out Sword Sect. As for other sects, they only eliminated the high-level combat power. As long as the lower-level members surrendered, they didn't exterminate them.
This seemed to be an unwritten rule between humans and monsters. When the Water Monster Race was driven away, the human race was somewhat lenient towards the lower-level Water Monsters.
Perhaps it was because the humans and monsters had once joined forces to fight against the devil race, so there was a bit of camaraderie.
Thanks to the fact that the Water Monsters didn't massacre indiscriminately, the manpower of Violet Azure Sword Pavilion was relatively intact, so the news quickly spread. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before news would come back.
After receiving this news, Zhang Chi wasn't surprised. He only instructed Zi Mian to rest well and went out on his own.
Gu Youyou hadn't woken up yet, so he wanted to reinforce the talismans on the Red Carp Monster King to prevent it from escaping.
After counting the number of people, they realized that Long Yan was missing. Fortunately, Cai Yu's bird sisters informed them that Long Yan had received a message from Dragon Transformation Palace and left in a hurry.
Knowing that Long Yan was safe, Zhang Chi felt relieved and left.
However, his concealment technique was not as good as Gu Youyou's, so when he passed through the area where Wenren Li was ambushing, she discovered him.
"What is he doing outside at night?" Wenren Li couldn't help but be curious.
Yesterday, she didn't notice how Zhang Chi went out, and she estimated that he left when she wasn't there.
Today, watching Zhang Chi go out, she couldn't help but be curious, wanting to know what this familiar-faced but cunning person was going to do at night.
However, if she left now and Red Carp Monster King took the opportunity to attack, Sword Sect would likely be in trouble.
The only one who can fight, Long Yan, is not here. Against a Divine Ability expert, even with more people, it would be a dead end.
Thinking of this, Wenren Li suppressed her urge to follow.
With Sword Sect's influence, Zhang Chi still has weaknesses, and if she wants to control him in the future, she has a point to focus on.
But if Zhang Chi also becomes a loner, then he would be too terrifying.
Wenren Li herself is a loner, so she knows the power of a loner.
Being alone, she fears nothing, and there is nothing that can threaten her.
Plus, she has the ability to hide like a ghost. Apart from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there is really nothing she needs to fear.
Those stronger than her can't find her, and those weaker than her dare not find her.
If she is pushed to the limit, she will wreak havoc from the shadows without any limits, and no one will be able to withstand it.
It is precisely because she knows the power of a loner that she cannot let Zhang Chi become a loner.
"Staying here, isn't it just a secret? It's not a big deal!" Wenren Li comforted herself.
Zhang Chi realized that there was no tail following him, so he finally felt relieved and quietly entered his safe house, then went to the basement.
The basement was not built long ago, and it was a bit rough, without even a bed.
However, it was more than enough to bind a Monster King.
When Hong Li saw Zhang Chi's arrival, a fierce light flashed in her eyes. Zhang Chi stuffed a stone into her mouth, preventing her from making any sound but allowing her to drool.
Seeing her own miserable appearance, Red Carp Monster King was so angry that she wanted to eat Zhang Chi alive!
She whimpered, clearly not speaking politely.
There was also a spiritual disturbance, indicating that the talisman's control over her was not very strong.
This fairy's physical condition is really good.
Inside that stone, he had added poison.
"Meeting again, you seem to be in a hurry, but maybe we should get to know each other again, the king of the Water Monster Race?" Zhang Chi was playing a bluff, Hong Li has the strength of a Monster King, and Zhang Chi was convinced that she must be a high-ranking member of the Water Monster Race.
So he took on an attitude of having accurate information and directly frightened Hong Li...
