The future of our Formless Ancient Race still needs you to support it!

I know you have been wronged, but as long as I am here, you will not be treated unfairly in the future."

Tang Yi, upon hearing this, felt a surge of excitement. His gaze towards Song Yan was almost ablaze. Although he was from the Formless Ancient Race, he had married a woman from another tribe, so strictly speaking, he was considered an outsider in the end.

This is how his life is, but he has descendants.

He doesn't want his descendants to be like this forever!

However, it seemed that the clan had already tacitly agreed that his lineage would be doing such work, causing Tang Yi to feel resentment.

But Song Yan's words gave him hope.

"Rest assured, uncle, if this matter gets leaked, I, Tang Yi, will present my head before you!"

The two were completely communicating through thoughts.

Little An Li thought there was an awkward silence.

She looked at Song Yan's frowning face, then looked at the Flying Palanquin in front of her, and whispered through thoughts, "Why act so aloof? This palanquin is not bad, it's quite majestic! This Demon Beast is a late-stage Changfeng Crane from the Crimson Palace, very grand."

Song Yan snorted coldly, grabbed An Li's hand, and left without looking back, leaving Tang Yi awkwardly standing there.

Once inside, Song Yan recounted what had happened earlier to An Li.

An Li nervously pointed at herself, "I... I'm going with you? Won't I hold you back?"

Song Yan said, "You would certainly hold me back. Since that's the case, you should start holding me back sooner. If you can't manage, there won't be any such calls for you later."

With that, he softly caressed An Li's delicate face and asked, "Dare you?"

An Li blushed and boldly said, "What do I, the great me, have to be afraid of?"

Song Yan looked at her stubborn yet nervous eyes and chuckled, "Hehe."

An Li, hearing this laughter, was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Why laugh so scarily?"

Song Yan said, "You try it?"

An Li took a deep breath, coughed a little, cleared her throat, then mimicked, "Hehe..."

Under Song Yan's encouraging gaze, she imitated his "Hehe" laughter.

After laughing, she excitedly said, "I suddenly feel like I've become a villain, plenty of mischievous ideas are popping into my head."

Song Yan asked, "Like what?"

An Li replied, "I've heard that the Lu Kingdom is next to the West Extremity Ancient Country, so why not have the West Extremity Ancient Country swallow the Lu Kingdom quickly, and when other clans ask, we just say this area is our Formless Ancient Race's territory and opportunity."

Song Yan laughed, "If even you're thinking of that, don't you think others haven't? It's absolutely useless!

Although the battle for treasures between two geniuses of our Formless Ancient Race is secretive, it will definitely spread through various channels. Coupled with the Ancient Tomb, the opportunity in Lu Kingdom Ziwuwu Village has long been widely known.

Such an opportunity must have attracted a bunch of cultivators, not to mention the Night King Ancient Race, Dragon Tomb Ancient Race, even many loose cultivators."

An Li asked, "Then... shouldn't the West Extremity Ancient Country annex the Lu Kingdom?"

Song Yan replied, "Of course it should be annexed; I've already arranged for that."

An Li curiously asked, "Why is that?"

Song Yan said, "Of course, after the war, when it comes to reasoning, we can have the upper hand. Even during the war, we can righteously declare 'Why are you invading our Formless Ancient Race's territory?'"

An Li: ...

After a moment of thought, she understood and then asked, "What are we supposed to do in advance?"

Song Yan asked, "Have you killed many Demon Beasts?"

An Li nodded.

Song Yan asked, "Have you killed anyone?"

An Li was stunned on the spot, then said, "I would kill bad people! If not purely bad, they're evil cultivators who have done bad things."

Song Yan asked, "And if I were evil? Would you kill me?"

An Li lowered her head, staring at her toes.

Song Yan hugged her and softly said, "Lotuses grow from mud. Without a dark heart, how can you cultivate a pure lotus? I am the future Clan Leader of the Formless Ancient Race. For the sake of the Formless Ancient Race, I will do anything. If you truly lack a goal, then... do it for my sake."

He did not use Demon's Sound, only quietly whispered, "If you do good for me, it is not for the sake of good, but for my sake. If you do evil for me, it is not to be evil, but for my sake. And I... I am for everyone's sake."

An Li, though naturally adorable, was not foolish, but was still perplexed by Song Yan's seemingly spell-like words. She mulled over them but found that all problems seemed to resolve easily, for no matter the good or the evil, it was all for Song Yan and for everyone.

Looking at her thoughtful expression, Song Yan softly said, "One day, I hope you can have freedom, unrestrained by anything."

An Li murmured, "Unrestrained by anything..."

Song Yan said, "Including... me."

At dusk, he watched as the afterglow fell on An Li's pure little face, observing its growing complexity. He felt a deep sense of happiness, a happiness that was no longer solitary.

...

...

When the grand palanquin set off flamboyantly from the Ancestral Vein Secret Realm of the Ancient Race, Song Yan and An Li had already transformed into a rainbow beam, swiftly disappearing into the distance.

Song Yan was incredibly fast, his escape light enveloping An Li.

Little An Li seemed still immersed in Song Yan's words.

She treasured this relationship immensely, so she would certainly think it through and carefully understand what Song Yan had conveyed.

Her expression turned serious, but not with the previous stiffness and rigidity, rather, one prepared with awareness.

They ate in the wild and often slept under the stars; within just a month's time, they arrived at the Wuxuan Wilderness.

Song Yan, upon sensing slightly, discovered that the Profound Qi here was absolutely forbidden, even worse than the Shu Kingdom of the past Three Kingdoms.

At least the Shu Kingdom had a little Profound Qi, but here there was none at all.

In other words, the Profound Qi used here is as much as is used, only recoverable with a Profound Crystal after a battle.
