When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 893 Ghostly Tricks
"Are you sure that person is Zhou Qingyun?" Zhou Ou asked, his face ashen.

"This disciple is certain!" Zhou Leng said decisively. "I have reviewed the situation many times since I went back. This scheme must have been set up by Zhou Qingyun in order to use us to lure Fan Yuqi out. Otherwise, how could the timing have been so clever?"

"Moreover, I searched the forum for a long time afterward. Since the six states declared war on Qin, apart from these two times, no one has had Qin household registrations for sale. This is because the household registration system has been transferred to the prefecture level. However, in the current [Dust Tribulation Floating World], even among the Nascent Soul True Immortals, there are very few who can serve as prefectural officials, and very few players who can issue household registrations."

"I even think that Zhou Qingyun might be the only one in the entire Qin Kingdom still doing this business!"

Zhou Leng paused and continued, "Moreover, according to Lord Qingqing, although her appearance is different from Zhou Qingyun's, her temperament and age are very similar to hers. Therefore, I think they are most likely the same person!"

Since Zhou Qingyun accepted the accumulated fortune of the Divine Path Pagoda over ten thousand years, players from all seven kingdoms have received a national war mission.
This is also the first national war mission released by [Dust and Tribulations].

The event is titled "Dragon Vein War: Battle of Destiny".

Players from the six kingdoms form one faction, while players from the Qin kingdom form their own faction. They compete for the "Dragon Vein National Fortune." Players can obtain Dragon Qi by completing designated faction tasks, and they can plunder the Dragon Qi of players from opposing factions by killing them.

The ranking of players in the "Dust and Tribulations of the Floating World" category is also based on the amount of dragon energy they have acquired.

The player at the top of the list is from the Qin Kingdom, with over 10 billion Dragon Aura Points. The second-ranked player, however, has barely surpassed 10,000.

The difference between the two cannot be described simply by the word "gap".

This incident caused a huge uproar on the forum, with everyone wondering who was able to gather so much dragon energy at the very beginning of the mission.

Because the gap was so vast, even Nascent Soul True Immortals were excluded. Only Tang Yuan and Ji Qing, who were still living Dao Lords, could be included in everyone's guesses.

Some imaginative players even wondered if a lucky individual had been reincarnated as Qin Shi Huang, the King of Qin, otherwise how could this dragon energy value, seemingly from another era, be explained!
Only a few players, including Zhou Leng, who had personally experienced the Great Flood, immediately confirmed that this person must be the lucky one chosen by the divine artifact.

However, Lin and Cui were unaware of his true identity.

However, Zhou Leng, combining other information, deduced that the "lucky" female cultivator was very likely Zhou Qingyun!
In that instant, his jealousy of Zhou Qingyun even surpassed his anger at being framed.

Although Zhou Leng is far from reaching the stage of contacting the Dragon's Luck and cultivating with the help of the nation's fortune.

However, he knew that this was a valuable item that even Nascent Soul Immortals were vying for, and that even without following the path of divinity, it could provide great assistance to cultivation.

He couldn't understand why, when his own Zhou surname was clearly the more noble one, he was inferior to a peasant of lowly blood in every way.

Now, even the heavens are on her side, bestowing upon her such incredible good fortune.

Consumed by burning jealousy, Zhou Leng nearly went mad, his mind filled with countless images of himself killing Zhou Qingyun.

However, he knew that Zhou Qingyun would be under the extreme protection of the Qin army at this time, and it was almost a pipe dream to kill her and plunder the dragon energy in the [Dust Tribulation Floating World].

That's why, after sorting out his thoughts, he quickly reported it to Zhou Ou. It was more reliable to seize it directly through real-world means.

After listening to Zhou Leng's explanation, Zhou Ou remained silent for a moment before sighing, "If I had known earlier that this woman was a person with great fortune, I should have been more careful with my methods back then."

"If nothing unexpected happens, with this massive amount of luck assisting her, it's a certainty that she will achieve the primordial spirit in this mortal world. Even if there are still many problems when she returns to reality, her probability of transcending the mortal realm and becoming an immortal will be much higher than that of ordinary people."

"Don't be fooled by the Zhou family's current flourishing appearance and its immense power, which is no less than that of high-ranking clans." "But their foundation is still far from sufficient. Apart from the two patriarchs, they don't even have a disciple who has a chance of even glimpsing the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage. On the contrary, the other branches within the sect all have incredibly talented Nascent Soul seeds at the first level of Core Formation."

"Just like Luo Xing of Yuejiang Island, do you think that I, your ancestor, have repeatedly shown him goodwill simply because of Jiang Huanyue? I value him more for himself. Luo Qingdan has mastered the Five Elements Heavenly Escape and shares the same origin as Patriarch Guo Yang. He is highly regarded by Patriarch Guo Yang and often receives his guidance. Patriarch Guo treats him even better than my own disciples."

"With Patriarch Guo Yang and Yuejiang Island around, the probability of Luo Xing failing halfway is extremely small. If I make some connections with them today, I might be able to gain a Nascent Soul ally for my Zhou family in the future!"

Zhou Ou's tone became more forceful: "But if you all had shown more courage, why would I have bothered to associate with Luo Xing and lament the matter of Zhou Qingyun?"

Zhou Leng looked ashamed and said, "It's because the disciples haven't worked hard enough, causing the Ancestor to have to worry so much."

Zhou Ou waved his hand: "Forget it. If it were so easy to form a first-grade golden core, how could there be so few primordial spirit immortals in the world? I was just lamenting Zhou Qingyun's matter. If it had been handled better, my Zhou family might have had a primordial spirit seed, which would have relieved some of the pressure in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Leng asked in confusion, "The two ancestors are as bright as the sun and the moon, so what pressure could my Zhou family possibly have?"

“Our ancestors are our ancestors, and the Zhou family is the Zhou family,” Zhou Ou sighed. “How can we, their descendants, trouble them with everything?”

Zhou Leng felt that there was something unsaid in the old ancestor's words, but he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "Zhou Qingyun is determined to oppose my Zhou family. Moreover, she has gained such good fortune in the [Dust Tribulation Floating World]. If we turn a blind eye to her, she may become another major enemy of my Zhou family tomorrow."

"Our ancestor must make a decision soon; we can't let it grow any further!"

"Moreover, this fortune is not fixed; it can be seized. If we have the help of this fortune, wouldn't the things that the ancestor is worried about be easily resolved?"

Zhou Ou glanced at Zhou Leng and said, "You little devil, you make it sound so simple. Whether it's the mortal world or reality, as long as she stays in seclusion, no matter how turbulent the outside world is, what can it do to her?"

"The 'Dust and Tribulations of the Floating World' is indeed extremely difficult, but if the Ancestor only needs to assign her a few tasks that she must complete after leaving the mountain, why would he be afraid that she will not come out of seclusion?"

"Moreover, she is unaware that her true identity has been exposed. She might even lower her guard in the real world. Once we capture her true form, how could we not obtain the fortune of this mortal realm?"

Zhou Ou remained silent for a long time, pondering the pros and cons.

Although the Zhou family is powerful, they do not have the audacity to harm the true disciples of the Three Immortal Islands. If such a crime is not done discreetly enough and is discovered by the sect, even he would not be able to bear the consequences.

On the other hand, the dragon energy emanating from that girl was indeed tempting. If he could obtain this dragon energy, he might not need to reincarnate and start over, and could glimpse the path to immortality in this life.

If there is hope in this life, who would place their hopes on the next?
"But this girl has a strong personality," Zhou Ou thought to himself, feeling troubled.

In his eyes, the good disciples were those who fawned over the Zhou family at the mere mention of their name and could be won over with small favors. As for troublemakers like Zhou Qingyun, who were unruly and disrespectful, they should be expelled from the sect.

Unfortunately, the Three Immortals Island is far from being a place where the Zhou family can rule at will, and the Zhou family's methods are far inferior to those of the long-established aristocratic families. When they suddenly encounter such a stubborn and unyielding troublemaker, they really don't have any good solutions.

"Ancestor, don't hesitate any longer." Zhou Leng looked at Zhou Ou, who was hesitant, and said repeatedly, "The filth between Zhou Qingyun and my Zhou family is no secret in the sect. If the Lin and Cui families connect it with the changes in the mortal world, they might be able to see through the tricks."

"If we don't act now, I fear things might change!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "You're right. This matter cannot be handled by my Zhou family. It must be done by someone from an outsider's sect to make a move!"
