Chapter 199 Death Squadron
Chapter 199: Suicide Squad
Yin Xun's criminal motive is obvious, and the facts of the crime are clear. Before he arrived, Chen Yin and Cheng Feng had already confessed.
Long Yi had known what was going on long ago, but he patiently waited for them to finish speaking before calling the meeting.
He was giving Long Yan a practical combat lesson on what it means to be calm and composed.
There's no need to rush in everything. Regardless of whether one can deal with others or not, one's mentality must remain calm.
If it were Long Yan, knowing that Yin Xun secretly wanted to harm Zhang Chi, she would probably have rushed over and killed Yin Xun directly.
But what about afterwards?
She could certainly expose what Yin Xun had done to the public, but the credibility would be somewhat lacking.
Who knows if she would frame him after killing him?
Indeed, in the Immortal Cultivation World, the strong have the final say, but managing a power in a region is not just about having strength.
Power relies on strength, but whether one can exert the power depends on intelligence.
Now, in the Golden Dragon Hall, Yin Xun couldn't argue even in the presence of so many high-ranking officials.
The medicine boy has testimony, Chen Yin, Cheng Feng, and the two leaders of the Purple Dragon Guards also have testimony.
Yin Xun knew that denying it would be useless, so he immediately kowtowed, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Disciple admits guilt. Disciple was just confused for a moment!"
Yin Xun couldn't be considered a fool either. He was quite clever at this moment.
Being stubborn wouldn't help him, but would make people think he didn't know how to repent and deserved to die.
On the contrary, admitting mistakes and apologizing would give him a glimmer of hope.
The Dragon Transformation Palace is a reputable sect, and as the palace lord, he also has a certain amount of goodwill here.
Since he has admitted his mistake and his attitude is so sincere, if Long Yi still insists on killing him, he will inevitably leave a reputation for being ungrateful.
Over the years, he has made contributions and endured hardships. Long Yi definitely wouldn't dare to be too heartless.
As long as he is still alive, there is still hope.
Yin Xun secretly vowed in his heart that the humiliation he suffered today would be repaid a hundredfold in the future!
The scene of Yin Xun begging for mercy while crying did surprise Long Yi.
He had underestimated the shamelessness of Yin Xun. In a certain sense, this kid could be considered talented.
But unfortunately, what the Dragon Clan needed were loyal, obedient, and intelligent dogs, not cunning, treacherous, and greedy wolves.
No matter how Yin Xun behaved, Long Yi couldn't let him go. The only difference was the method of killing him.
"Teacher, I really know I was wrong. I was confused for a moment and made such a ridiculous decision. I truly regret it..." Yin Xun confessed and repented, with tears and snot streaming down his face.
Seeing Yin Xun repenting and confessing like this, Long Yan couldn't help but get angry and angrily said, "Stop with your fake emotions. If you truly regret it, you wouldn't have done such a thing. Now that the truth is exposed, you just want to save your life!"
Long Yan saw through Yin Xun's thoughts at a glance. Although she wasn't good at reasoning and analysis, her intuition was always sharp.
Upon hearing this, Yin Xun felt extremely resentful.
Long Yan, this woman, really showed him no mercy. But at this moment, he couldn't show his hatred. He could only kneel obediently.
Yin Xun's thoughts were too self-centered. All along, he had been trying to get close to Long Yan, but his acting skills were not good. Even though he did things that made Long Yan dislike him, he was completely unaware.
In this situation, he tried to please Long Yan, but how could Long Yan remember his good deeds? Moreover, he still wanted to kill Zhang Chi. Long Yan not taking action on the spot was already showing great restraint.
"Alright, there's no need to argue," Long Yi stopped Long Yan from continuing to attack, sighed, and said, "Yin Xun, you have been the palace lord of our sect for a long time, and I have trusted you. I didn't expect you to have such overwhelming desires. However, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Since you can recognize your own mistakes, how can we not give you a chance to change?"
"Father!" Upon hearing Long Yi's words, which seemed to imply that he would spare Yin Xun, Long Yan immediately wanted to express her protest.
Long Yi raised his hand to stop Long Yan from speaking and continued, "You have a repentant heart, so I will give you a chance. But for the mistakes you have made, you must also be punished; otherwise, it will be difficult to convince others. Now is the time to use people, so I will include you all in the vanguard and support the Profound Heart Sect. Yin Xun, if you can kill five Water Monsters at the same level as you, your past mistakes will be forgiven. The same goes for the others. As long as you can kill five Monster Race members at the same level, the past will be forgotten."
Long Yi's conditions made everyone kneeling there feel uneasy.
Human cultivators are inherently weaker than other races at the same level, unless there is some way to restrain them. Otherwise, human cultivators are the weakest at the same level.
Under these conditions, it would be better to die peacefully than to go and kill five Monster Race members at the same level.
What vanguard team? It's clearly a suicide squad!
"Do you all agree to these conditions?" Long Yi looked at Yin Xun, then swept his gaze over Chen Yin and Cheng Feng. It seemed like he was asking if anyone wanted to die now.
Of course, no one wanted to die now. There was still a glimmer of hope if they fought.
The Dragon Transformation Palace certainly wouldn't just let them leave like that. Under Long Yi's instructions, the four commanders each planted the deadly Gu on the punished individuals.
Even Divine Ability experts cannot remove the Gu without causing damage. Once they have any second thoughts, the commander who controls the Gu King can instantly make the person with the Gu perish.
Righteous people do not hesitate to use unrighteous means as long as they are used in front of everyone, then it is not considered unrighteous.
Yin Xun's heart was almost filled with despair. Once he joined the death squad, it would be difficult for him to come back.
Even if he were to come back, he wouldn't be able to hold onto the position of the palace lord.
Moreover, this time he had implicated the other elders. Could they possibly let him go?
However, Long Yi didn't care about the feelings of Yin Xun and the others. They were just dry bones in the tomb, not worth his attention.
After dealing with Yin Xun's matter, Long Yi didn't adjourn the meeting. He continued, "The Water Monster Race has encroached upon the territory of the Profound Heart Sect. These places were all established by our ancestors through hardships and obstacles. How can we easily let the Water Monster take away our land? Therefore, the people of the alliance will launch a counterattack against the Water Monster. This will be our main task."
"The Water Monster Race has invaded the territory of the Profound Heart Sect. These places were established by our ancestors through hardships and obstacles. How can we easily let the Water Monster take away our land? Therefore, the people of the alliance will launch a counterattack against the Water Monster. This will be our main task."
"The Dragon Transformation Palace needs a palace lord to negotiate with other sects. I want Long Yan to act as the acting palace lord and take full responsibility for this matter. Who agrees, who disagrees?"
"Eh?"
Long Yan hadn't reacted yet when she was already helped onto the position of the palace lord by her own father.
As for objections...
With so many people present, not a single person objected. It was unanimous support.
Not to mention being the acting palace lord, even if it were the official palace lord, it could be decided at this moment.
But Long Yi was not an impatient person. Many things didn't need to be rushed. Taking it slowly would yield better results.
At first, Long Yan didn't want to be the palace lord, but when she thought about her father entrusting her with an important task, it was also a test for her. So she didn't refuse.
Moreover, she was also determined to fight. With her leading, the Dragon River Alliance would definitely be able to establish a united front against the Water Monster.
When the Dragon Transformation Palace underwent a change in leadership, Zhang Chi had already stationed himself in the Profound Heart Sect.
Their support for the Profound Heart Sect was not low-key. They didn't deliberately publicize it, but they didn't hide it either.
A large amount of spirit medicine was piled up on the ship, which was the support they provided.
When they supported the Profound Heart Sect in front of so many people, even if Zhang Chi didn't intentionally publicize it, his actions were still spread.
In the situation where the Dragon Transformation Palace avoided war, both the Profound Heart Sect and the Celestial Melody Pavilion hoped to suppress the arrogance of the Water Monster. For the Celestial Melody Pavilion, it was a matter of life and death. If they didn't take action soon, the Water Monster would reach their doorstep.
The Profound Heart Sect was worried that they would be the next Pill Cauldron Sect.
The exiles of the Pill Cauldron Sect were afraid that their sect would not be able to recover.
Therefore, these three factions all wanted the Dragon Transformation Palace to send troops to counterattack.
Since the Dragon Transformation Palace was unwilling to send troops, the various sects could only be anxious.
But at this time, Zhang Chi pointed them in a clear direction.
The Dragon Transformation Palace didn't support war, but they could send their own troops, right?
This was also inspired by the Sword Sect. Many medium and large sects in the upper and middle reaches of the river had sent their disciples to support the Profound Heart Sect.
And Zhang Chi's reputation spread once again.
The Celestial Melody Pavilion, led by Elder Miao Yin, provided support. The team included three Divine Ability elders, twenty Divine Soul elders, and one hundred Foundation Building disciples.
These were just the initial support. They would increase their efforts depending on the situation.
At this moment, the Pavilion Master was holding a swearing-in ceremony.
"Miao Yin, we must make a name for ourselves in this battle, show our style," the Perfected Being of the Celestial Melody Pavilion instructed.
"Please rest assured, Sect Master. We will not disappoint your trust and will bring glory to our sect," Miao Yin replied solemnly. However, in her heart, she was thinking about meeting Zhang Chi.
She wanted to see if Zhang Chi's Perfected Being was as handsome as it appeared in the projection.
But even if he wasn't that handsome, it didn't matter. His character was already superior to everything else.
Listening to Zhang Chi's deeds, Elder Miao Yin couldn't help but be moved.
She was a single, older woman who had a high regard for music. She had a high opinion of herself and believed that the other party must have exceptional talent, appearance, and character to be worthy of her.
So for many years, she had remained single.
But when she saw Zhang Chi, her heart couldn't help but beat faster. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that she would marry Zhang Chi without hesitation.
It was clear what she was thinking.
In addition to the Celestial Melody Pavilion taking action, there were also some weaker small sects in the upper and middle reaches of the river that had not joined the Dragon River Alliance. They also began to form teams to increase their reputation.
The Treasure Weapon Sect's sect master heard that his elder had offended Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi had gained such great fame this time. This child would become a great trouble in the future.
It would be better to solve him early.
At the same time, the sect master of the Treasure Weapon Sect also realized that this was an opportunity.
The Dragon River Alliance's power was currently very weak. After several battles, they had suffered heavy losses. This was the perfect opportunity for the Treasure Weapon Sect to rise. Moreover, they could seize the opportunity to kill Zhang Chi, who had a grudge against them...
