Chapter 127: Chapter 97: Clan Leader’s Plan, Unfortunate Senior Envoy [2 more for subscription]

Lanzhou and Yunzhou are adjacent; if the Dragon Transformation Sect really plans to make a comeback, Lanzhou will definitely not be spared.

Therefore, Zhou Daoyi’s concerns are not without reason.

However, Zhou Chun felt that if the Dragon Transformation Sect stirred up trouble in Jingguo Country, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for the Zhou Family.

Now, in the Cultivation World within the territory of Jingguo Country, at least in the Cultivation World of the several southern states of Jingguo, the clan power has not been shuffled for too long, leading to extensive clustering of Cultivation families and loose cultivator organizations with a strong sense of exclusion.

Even with the tacit approval of the Green Lotus Temple, the Zhou Family, when trying to root themselves in Lanzhou, faced restrictions and exclusion at every turn.

But even now that they have taken root, the Zhou Family has only found a place to stay in Jiufeng Ridge, and to achieve anything substantial remains very difficult.

Zhou Chun had finally discovered a vein of Red Shine Iron, but since the Zhou Family was considered outsiders, they had to cede the majority of the benefits.

All of this ultimately comes down to the local powers forming too strong of an alliance and having too strong of an exclusionary nature.

Without the intervention of external forces, breaking this alliance of local powers is undoubtedly impossible.

Therefore, Zhou Chun thought it would be very advantageous for the Zhou Family if the Dragon Transformation Sect made some waves, preferably wiping out some local powers, so that the previously divided cake might have some pieces become available again.

Moreover, if the Zhou Family could make a name for themselves during this period, acting as saviors to aid some powers through their difficulties,

the path ahead for the Zhou Family would become much broader in the future.

Of course, all this is predicated on the fact that the Zhou Family does not become a target of the Dragon Transformation Sect!

Although Zhou Chun harbored such views internally, he would not voice them at this time.

After all, walls have ears, and he could not guarantee that other Purple Mansion Cultivators were not secretly observing and eavesdropping nearby.

Furthermore, the timing was not right.

For now, he could only continue to watch the battle with high spirits.

On the battlefield, a greenish-black Flood Dragon, driven by a desire for slaughter and destruction, displayed extremely formidable strength, single-handedly causing six Purple Mansion Cultivators much distress.

This brutal battle continued for about a quarter of an hour before the greenish-black Flood Dragon died from spontaneous body explosion as the duration of “Dragon Transformation Ascension Mantra” ended.

Within just this quarter-hour of fierce combat, three out of the six Purple Mansion Cultivators were injured by the greenish-black Flood Dragon, with one suffering severed limbs—a grave injury!

After the battle ended, the white-haired Taoist from Green Lotus Temple collected the belongings left behind by the deceased male cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect, then turned to the three Yunzhou Purple Mansion Cultivators and said, “Lu Daoist, please escort the two Daoists back for recovery. My brothers and I have to pursue the Green Flood Dragon; we must take our leave now!”

Then, seeming worried they might misunderstand, he added, “Rest assured, my Daoist friends, regardless of whether we succeed in pursuing the Green Flood Dragon, the merit you’ve earned today for helping to eradicate the remnants of the Dragon Transformation Sect will not be forgotten by our temple, and rewards will certainly follow!”

This additional remark made Lu Jianqiu and the others look a bit more content, and they immediately agreed to the request.

Then they watched as the three Cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple chased in the direction the Green Flood Dragon had fled.

At that moment, Zhou Daoyi suddenly spoke to Zhou Chun, “I must undertake a perilous task and cannot keep you by my side any longer. Zhengchun, you should return to the clan on your own.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chun was not surprised. Instead, he looked at him and asked, “Clan Leader, are you going after that Green Flood Dragon?”

“That is not for you to inquire about. Head back to the clan quickly.”

Zhou Daoyi shook his head, neither confirming nor denying.

But Zhou Chun knew that no denial was, in itself, an admission.

He had already anticipated this point.

The Sky Azure Cloud Python’s Flood Dragon Bloodline owned by Zhou Daoyi originated from the Green Flood Dragon.

If he wanted to evolve the Sky Azure Cloud Python into a Flood Dragon, then using the inner core of the Green Flood Dragon as an evolutionary material would undoubtedly be most suitable.

However, even with its grave injuries, the Green Flood Dragon’s strength is not something an average Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator could contend with.

Zhou Daoyi’s Cultivation Level is at the Foundation Establishment mid-phase, what makes him confident enough to plot against a third-order Flood Dragon?

Zhou Chun couldn’t understand this, but it was not his place to ask further.

All he could do was to agree wholeheartedly and then watched as Zhou Daoyi left.

Once Zhou Daoyi had departed, Zhou Chun glanced towards the direction of the Flood Dragon Nest.

He saw that the previously buried Flood Dragon Nest was now being excavated under the supervision of some Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The twelve Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple who used a Formation to redirect the river also withdrew the Formation, allowing the river water to return to its original course.

But due to the diversion of two other river channels, the river water that returned was much less, hardly affecting the excavation of the Flood Dragon Nest.

The Flood Dragon Nest, oh!

Zhou Chun, watching the scene, was immediately filled with regret.

The Flood Dragon Nest was indeed a splendid place.

Where Flood Dragons build their nests is usually a convergence of Spiritual Energy, conducive to the emergence of Spiritual Objects.

Moreover, the powerful and overbearing presence of the Flood Dragon Bloodline will gradually alter the attributes of the nearby flora and ores, turning them into what are called Dragon Blood Spirit Items.

For instance, the renowned “Dragon Transformation Grass” only grows near the nests of fourth-order Flood Dragons.

The more powerful the Flood Dragon and the longer its aura infuses the area, the more potent the “Dragon Transformation Grass” becomes.
