Chapter 119: Decisive

"Just what is with that person?" After getting off the carriage and thinking about what had just happened, Chen Heng could not help but frown.
Even though Song Qi was a Prince, he had never had his own independent thought and was not very favored among the King of Qi's many sons.
Ordinarily, he would become afraid if he spoke much with Chen Yu.
However, today, he seemed completely different. Not only did he say so much, but he was also completely calm. He knew the circumstances clearly and could immediately act, using a precious cultivation technique to rope in Chen Heng.
Chen Heng was unable to reconcile this Liunan Prince and the one in his memories.
Is he the disciple of an Immortal?
Thinking about what Song Qi had said, Chen Heng thought to himself.
It seemed that this person was the descendant of an Immortal and had been taught by an Immortal before, which was why he knew a cultivation technique.
The way he had passed the cultivation technique was also through a certain skill.
However, Chen Heng felt that something was off—if he really was the disciple of an Immortal, why would he be in such dire straits?
Moreover, while he was in danger, where was that Immortal teacher of his?
Furthermore, he had been scared unconscious by a few ordinary bandits a few days ago…
Chen Heng continued to think to himself as he frowned.
From how he saw it, perhaps Song Qi was putting on an act so that Chen Heng would take him seriously and would not look down on him.
However, Song Qi's actions really did back up what he was saying.
That transmission was one of them, and he had also said that if Chen Heng had any difficulties in cultivating the Foundation Technique, he could ask him about it.
"Just what is going on…" Chen Heng's gaze was calm but inwardly he felt incredibly confused.
Within the carriage, Song Qi's emotions were in turmoil as well.
Whether things succeed or not depend on tonight…
Within the carriage, Song Qi lightly sighed.
If things are like in my previous life and I'm captured again and am tormented before I finally regain my freedom, what would be the point in me living again…
Indeed, the current Song Qi was different than the Song Qi of the past.
His current self was completely different—because he had decades of memories of the future.
In Song Qi's memories, tonight, the Northern Nine Bandits would attack with the help of a spy among them.
After an intense battle, he would be captured and brought before the Northern Nine Bandits. He would be imprisoned for 15 years before he could find an opportunity to escape.
During those 15 years, he would suffer immense torment at the hands of the Northern Nine Bandits before being able to leave and starting over.
By then, Great Qi had perished and he found the truth from the ruins of the Great Qi.
There was a reason why the Northern Nine Bandits had attacked him—they had been employed by the Queen of Qi.
As for what the reason was, Song Qi did not know.
All he knew was that if he did not do anything, he would become a prisoner for the next 15 years.
This time, he might not have the luck to survive 15 years and escape.
As such, he had to change this situation.
Right now, his only hope in turning the situation around was Commander Chen.
Commander Chen came from the Chen family and was an exceptional figure.
From what Song Qi remembered, Commander Chen had survived the attack from tonight and was able to escape.
In the following few decades, Commander Chen obtained some opportunities and became a major figure.
As long as he was willing to protect him, with Song Qi's own schemes, perhaps he would be able to escape from this danger.
As long as he could leave this place, with Song Qi's understanding towards the future, he would be able to quickly regain his cultivation and obtain many fortuitous opportunities.
When that time came, he would be able to rush to the sky and do what he wanted to do.
In my previous life, by the time I had regained my freedom, Great Qi had already perished. However, in this life…
Thinking about how he had been imprisoned for 15 years because of the Queen of Qi, a hateful look appeared in Song Qi's eyes.
As he thought to himself, he heard some footsteps from outside.
"Your Highness."
Outside, Chen Heng's voice sounded out, "It is getting dark; you should get ready to rest."
Chen Heng sounded quite sincere.
Song Qi quickly understood Chen Heng's intentions.
At night, everyone around them had fallen asleep.
A bonfire was still burning, and Chen Heng sat in front of it by himself, a peaceful look on his face.
The night began darker, seeming quite murky.
After a while, Chen Heng silently got up and looked at the carriage.
In the depths of night, horse hooves could be heard, accompanied by shouts.
Hearing these sounds, Chen Heng came back to his senses and looked into the distance.
"It's begun," he said with a serious expression.
Song Qi came next to him and also looked into the distance with a grim expression.
The two of them had left the procession without anyone else noticing, and they had come here.
"Those people came just as Your Highness said," Chen Heng said, "It's a pity…"
"What pity is there?"
Looking into the distance, Song Qi's expression was difficult to ascertain.
"Some of them were innocent and were abandoned by us too…" Chen Heng said with a calm expression.
The enemy's spies were likely among those people, but even Song Qi did not know who they were.
Moreover, when escaping for their lives, every extra person they brought would put more pressure on them.
That was why they had decisively left behind everyone else.
Among those left behind by them, there were most likely spies, but most of them were probably innocent people.
It was easy to guess what their outcome would be.
"We had no other choice…" Song Qi sighed, "Even if we were there, nothing would change…"
From what Song Qi remembered, one of the Northern Nine Bandits had personally acted in this attack, and he was a martial artist at Great Accomplishment in the Martial Illumination realm.
Facing a martial artist like that, even if they had stayed, they would not have been a match for him.
In actuality, based on original history, facing an attack from a martial artist like this, only Chen Yu had been able to escape; everyone else, including Song Qi, had been captured and had not been able to retaliate at all.
"Let's go."
After looking over for a while, Song Qi looked at Chen Heng and said, "We're only temporarily safe. After a while, they will catch up at some point."
Even if there were no more spies among them, that did not mean they were completely safe.
At the very least, there were methods in this world to find people, so they were far from being safe right now.
