Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Long Yan felt someone was watching him and looked in that direction. When he saw it was Lin Ziyu, he smiled faintly and said to himself, "Ziyu, I'll tell you when I get back."

When Lin Ziyu heard Long Yan's voice transmission, he smiled, rubbed the plush ball's head, and said, "Do you take me for an idiot? From the looks of it, it seems like everyone in the Sea Clan is leaving." At the same time, he responded to Long Yan in his heart, "Okay."

After escorting the Sea Tribe out of the city, Long Yan returned. On the way out, he shared a carriage with Hai Lanyue, who solemnly informed Long Yan that despite the Sea Tribe's high priest possessing powerful foresight, they had not yet found a solution to the foreign invaders. However, the high priest, at the cost of his own life, had foreseen the imminent extinction of the Sea Tribe, a crisis that left them deeply uneasy and anxious. Therefore, they must return to their Sea Tribe as quickly as possible and prepare for disaster.

At the same time, Hai Lanyue also expressed to Long Yan his concerns about the future crisis facing the Sea Clan. He hoped that when the Sea Clan sent a distress signal to the Orcs, the Orcs would lend a helping hand. After all, facing a common enemy, only unity can give them a greater chance of victory.

After thinking it over, Long Yan replied to Hai Lanyue, "The Orcs will definitely help the Sea Clan if they have the ability."

Before parting, Long Yan and Hai Lanyue said goodbye to each other and agreed that the two tribes would exchange information and keep in touch.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, they all firmly believe that as long as they unite as one, they can overcome difficulties and protect their respective homes.

Long Yan gave Hai Lanyue the detoxification pill and the Five Elements Elixir that Lin Ziyu had refined, telling him that the detoxification pill was for removing the poison brought by foreign invaders, and the Five Elements Elixir was for removing poison and restoring spiritual energy.

However, Hai Lanyue took the pill and showed an expression of "as expected" and expressed her gratitude.

News of the Sea Clan's withdrawal from the Academy Martial Arts Tournament spread like a sudden storm, swiftly spreading throughout the Imperial City. People of all races in the Imperial City discussed the incident, and speculation and rumors abounded. Some worried that this year's competition might be canceled, given that the Sea Clan had always been a key participant in the tournament. However, others believed that even if the Sea Clan withdrew, the competition would still proceed, as other races still existed.

Amidst these discussions, a rumor caught everyone's attention. It was said that the Sea Clan had withdrawn from the Academy Martial Arts Tournament because their High Priest had passed away. This news shocked and saddened many. The High Priest held an extremely high status and prestige within the Sea Clan, and his passing was undoubtedly a great loss to them.

Some questioned the authenticity of this rumor, but many believed it. They pointed out that the blue light that appeared in the sky and the mournful singing when the Sea Clan announced their withdrawal indicated their inner grief. These signs were hard to ignore, and they evoked deep sympathy for the Sea Clan's plight.

The various races expressed varying opinions on this news. Some expressed understanding for the Sea Tribe's decision, believing they needed time to sort out their internal affairs. Others, however, expressed regret at the loss of such a powerful competitor and were eager for future competitions.

The orc royal city, where the humans who participated in the academy competition lived.

Qin Jinghuai received the news that the Sea Clan had left the Imperial City. He frowned slightly and turned to ask Lu Siqi, "Siqi, what do you think about the Sea Clan's withdrawal?"

Lu Siqi pondered for a moment and replied, "Third Prince, the High Priest of the Sea Tribe is a god-like existence to the Sea Tribe and is their faith. Their withdrawal is not surprising to me, but there may be deeper reasons behind this. I am worried about whether the foreign invaders mentioned by His Royal Highness the Dragon Crown Prince and the Sea Tribe's First Prince have already appeared in our human territory. If these invaders do invade, it will pose a huge threat to us."

Qin Jinghuai nodded, agreeing with Lu Sixi's point of view. He thought to himself: I wonder how my father will react when he receives the news he sent back. I hope Prime Minister Lu can make preparations in time. Thinking of this, Qin Jinghuai sighed deeply.

At that moment, Qin Yasi ran over in a panic. "Third brother, this is bad... My mother sent a secret message saying that Father, the Seventh Uncle, and the Eleventh Uncle have been poisoned by an unknown poison and have lost all their spiritual powers. My eldest and second brothers are missing, and their whereabouts are unknown. We're being asked to return as soon as possible." Qin Yasi's eyes welled up with tears, and she choked with sobs as she spoke, "Third brother, what should we do?"

Qin Jinghuai's face darkened upon hearing the news. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with anger and worry. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. We'll find a solution soon. The most important thing now is to stay calm and not panic."

Qin Ya Si wiped her tears and nodded, but her expression was still full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Qin Jinghuai frowned, lost in thought. After a moment, he said firmly, "There's no time to lose. We must return home immediately to find an antidote and thoroughly investigate this matter. Siqi, quickly notify all participating students and have them gather with the Sixth Imperial Uncle. Big Sister, go to the Sixth Imperial Uncle first and tell him what you've learned."

Qin Yasi asked with a worried look on her face: "Third brother, what about you?"

Qin Jinghuai took a deep breath and replied, "I'm going to find His Royal Highness the Long Crown Prince, get the pass, and say goodbye to him. Siqi, big sister, let's go our separate ways."

Lu Sixi looked at Qin Jinghuai, nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will go and notify the others." Seeing Qin Jinghuai nodded in agreement, he turned around and went to notify the students participating in the competition.

Qin Ya Si also nodded and said, "Third brother, I understand." After that, she hurried towards the courtyard where the Sixth Prince lived.

Qin Jinghuai walked quickly outside while thinking about where he could see His Royal Highness Prince Long as soon as possible. He thought that at this time, His Royal Highness Prince Long had sent the sea people out of the city and should be on his way back to the city. Intercepting him halfway would be the fastest way to see him.

When Long Si saw the person blocking the road ahead, her heart tightened and she immediately pulled the reins to stop the carriage.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Long Yan, sitting inside, leaned forward, a hint of displeasure on his face. He frowned and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Long Si, what's going on? Why did you stop so suddenly?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, Qin Jinghuai stopped your carriage because of an urgent matter. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

When Long Yan heard this voice, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then gently lifted the curtain and looked at Qin Jinghuai standing in front of the carriage. He slowly said, "Third Prince, if there is anything you want to say, please get in the carriage and tell me."

"Thank you." Qin Jinghuai said and stepped into the carriage.

The carriage was very spacious, and Qin Jinghuai and Long Yan sat opposite each other.

Qin Jinghuai took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, I'm stopping you now to bid farewell to the Orcs. We will also withdraw from this academy competition. We've just received news from our tribe that two of our uncles have been poisoned by an unknown poison and have lost all their spiritual energy." He then produced an exquisite box and opened it, revealing four Ice and Fire Lotuses. He handed the box to Long Yan and said, "These are the four Ice and Fire Lotuses. Please accept them, Your Highness, Crown Prince Long."

Long Yan took the box, glanced at the Ice Fire Lotus inside, then looked up at Qin Jinghuai and asked calmly, "Third Prince, is there anything else you want to say?"

Qin Jinghuai gave a bitter laugh, and after a moment's hesitation, he decided to speak frankly: "To be honest, I have a favor to ask. Does His Royal Highness Crown Prince Long have an antidote to the poison that can completely deplete spiritual energy?"

Long Yan did not directly answer whether Qin Jinghuai had an antidote, but instead asked, "How did the Third Prince know that I had this antidote?"

Qin Jinghuai looked at Long Yan calmly and said, "I also found out by chance."

Long Yan looked at him sharply, as if trying to determine the truth in his words.

"In that case, I don't have the antidote." Long Yan pushed the box back and said lightly.
