Chapter 375: Do You Want to Know the Truth?
Dragon Transformation Palace quickly received news of a conspiracy within Dragon City.
The Purple Dragon Guards were not idle. If they still didn't know about it when the conspiracy was happening right at their doorstep, then they might as well be dead.
This was what made Huo Yun angry. These forces clearly had no intention of hiding their actions.
"The former Patriarch's body is not even cold yet, and they dare to act like this. Miss, please grant me the Dragon-Slaying Sword. I will definitely kill all these people!"
The Dragon-Slaying Sword was a Supreme Grade Law Treasure with immense power, and it was one of the treasures passed down in the Dragon Transformation Palace. It was currently in Huo Yun's hands.
However, without Long Yan's command, he couldn't use the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword was also a heritage item of the Long Family, but it could be used by others.
As a Supreme Grade Law Treasure, the Dragon-Slaying Sword had astonishing killing power. Last time, Huo Yun almost single-handedly used the Dragon-Slaying Sword to kill all the Monster Kings.
As long as no Dao Integration experts came, Huo Yun wasn't afraid of facing multiple opponents.
Dao Integration experts had their pride and wouldn't stoop so low as to sabotage the Dragon Transformation Palace at this critical moment.
With the Dragon-Slaying Sword, the Dragon Transformation Palace was invincible.
Jin Bian, being more level-headed, immediately saw the hidden danger in Huo Yun's thinking.
"It's easy to kill them, but they have forces behind them. Moreover, if they dare to do this, they must have obtained the tacit approval of the major forces in Western State Alliance.
We are a righteous Dao Sect, so we must act according to the rules of righteousness. How can we solve the problem just by fighting and killing?"
"What can we do then? Are we supposed to follow the rules and let them rob us of our possessions?"
"Paying a certain price is better than inviting disaster upon our sect."
"No, that's too weak!"
"..."
Huo Yun had always had a hot temper and a proud personality. In his eyes, if these people dared to come to his doorstep and cause trouble, he would dare to kill them all.
If they had the ability to rob, they should be prepared to be killed.
As for whether they would offend the various forces in Western State, he didn't care. He could just die if it came to that.
Jin Bian, on the other hand, didn't think it was necessary.
Their hope still lay with Long Yan. As long as Long Yan broke through to Dao Integration in the future, everything they lost today could be regained.
Currently, the Dragon Transformation Palace was in a precarious situation, and it was time to endure.
Both of them were acting for the good of the Dragon Transformation Palace, and they each held their own opinions, refusing to give in to each other. Both of their arguments made sense.
They argued in front of Long Yan, who listened silently without interrupting.
When they were about to start fighting, Long Yan finally spoke, "Have you argued enough? Who has the final say in the Dragon Transformation Palace now?
If the two leaders want to take control of the Dragon Transformation Palace, I am willing to give everything to you."
Long Yan's words were obviously meant to quell the conflict. Jin Bian and Huo Yun realized that they had gone too far in their argument and quickly apologized.
Seeing this, Long Yan also felt relieved.
After all, her strength was insufficient, and her experience was limited. It was normal for the two elders to not fully trust her.
But the Dragon Transformation Palace could no longer withstand any more turmoil. If the two people she relied on the most continued to fight, the Dragon Transformation Palace would likely fall apart.
Helpless, Long Yan had to say these words to quell the conflict.
In deliberately belittling the two elders, Long Yan felt sad, but she had no choice.
At this moment, Long Yan finally understood what it meant to be helpless in the martial world.
As a descendant of the Long Family, she could only be a little ruthless.
Although her strength and experience were not enough, in a situation where the two elders were in conflict, she had to make a decision.
"Since they are coming aggressively, we can only make a tough decision. Since they want Dragon River Alliance to compensate, we will withdraw from Dragon River Alliance starting today."
"Hmm?"
Both Huoyun and Jinbian were stunned at the same time. What kind of move was this?
"Their demand is to seek compensation from the Dragon River Alliance. In that case, we will withdraw from the alliance.
The ceremony was held by the Celestial Melody Pavilion, and Zhang Chi was the one who killed the person. There is no way they can claim compensation from us.
If anyone insists on causing trouble for us, they will only bring it upon themselves. Huoyun, I allow you to use the Dragon-Slaying Sword to protect the sect at any time."
"Can it be done like this?"
Jinbian and Huoyun were both shocked by these words.
But upon closer inspection, this reasoning was indeed correct.
The Dragon Transformation Palace had no reason to compensate anyone. We didn't organize the ceremony, and we didn't kill the person. Why should we be held responsible?
"Brilliant!"
Jinbian admired Long Yan. He never expected her to have grown so much.
During this time, Long Yan had made tremendous progress.
A few months ago, she was just a carefree young lady.
Sigh!
Jinbian also sighed in his heart. If it weren't for the Dragon Transformation Palace facing continuous upheavals, Long Yan wouldn't have had to bear such pressure at her age.
The Long Family of the Dragon Transformation Palace had always had a relatively smooth path. They would diligently cultivate with the help of their elders and then smoothly inherit the legacy.
But this generation's path of inheritance was so turbulent. It was a pity for Long Yan, who was originally a simple and kind child, to have to do things she didn't like.
Back then, when the lower four sects were threatened by the River Monster Race, she insisted on helping them based on reason. But now, faced with external pressure, she chose to withdraw from the alliance.
This was undoubtedly a wise choice, but it was definitely not the choice Long Yan wanted in her heart.
Huoyun, who was not as emotionally intelligent as Jinbian, was still surprised by the fact that Long Yan gave him the authority to use the Dragon-Slaying Sword and her ingenious plan.
"Miss, how did you come up with such a brilliant method?"
Long Yan: "..."
This plan was called "Cicada Sheds Its Shell," taught to her by Zhang Chi.
When she was with Zhang Chi, he told her many stories, including other strategies he had compiled, totaling thirty-six strategies.
She had only found them interesting at the time, but she never expected to use them personally one day.
And seeing the astonished expressions of the two elders, Long Yan realized the true value of the strategies Zhang Chi had taught her.
Cultivators indeed valued strength, but when strength couldn't be utilized, strategies played a significant role.
And she had only used one of the thirty-six strategies.
Such a valuable thing, Zhang Chi had given it to her for free, and he had never asked her for anything before.
It was evident that when Zhang Chi was with her, he had always been sincere.
If he only wanted to use her, there was no need to teach her these things. He could have used her just the same.
Thinking of this, Long Yan felt a pang in her heart.
"Both of you, please leave. I want to be alone for a while."
Jinbian sensed that Long Yan was not in a good mood, so he held back Huoyun, who wanted to ask more questions, and said, "Miss, then we will take our leave."
After speaking, he pulled Huoyun and left the hall. Huoyun didn't know the reason, but he followed along.
In the hall, only Long Yan remained. She could finally cover her face and silently cry for a while.
"If you were only pretending to care for me, why treat me so well? If you truly cared for me, why would you become enemies with my father?"
"Do you want to know the truth?"
