Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 164 Fiery Dragon Steed, The Death of the Dragon Girl [Please Subscribe]

With only half a month to spare, the timeframe is extremely tight.

Therefore, Zhou Mingde chose to leave the Zhou family with Zhou Daoyi this time and secretly went to Longyuanze to investigate the situation.

The fact that these two pillars of the Zhou family left together was known only to Zhou Chun and the second elder, Zhou Chongshan, and even the third elder, Zhou Daoquan, was unaware of it.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun is currently in charge of managing the Zhou family's affairs, and the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde rarely shows his face.

There's no need to worry about this being discovered suddenly.

Eight days later, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi finally returned.

As soon as the two returned, Zhou Mingde said with a happy expression, "We've found out! This time, it's a blessing in disguise for the Zhou family. The outlet of the underground river that flows into Longyuanze is less than a thousand miles from the target location!"

A distance of a thousand miles is less than two hours for a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage.

That's already quite close.

Zhou Chun smiled upon hearing the news.

He couldn't help but nod, saying, "Indeed, Heaven is blessing our Zhou family!"

In the following days, both Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi made public appearances within their families. Zhou Daoyi even found an excuse to visit the Sun and Mu families.

With only three days left before the operation was scheduled, the two quietly left the Zhou family again and traveled to Longyuanze via an underground river to officially begin the assassination.

"Please come back safely!"

On Pagoda Peak, Zhou Chun, the only person in the Zhou family who knew about this operation, silently prayed for the two pillars of the Zhou family.

After Zhou Mingde and his companion arrived at Longyuanze via the underground river, they immediately concealed their presence and headed to their destination by land.

They each brought enough pills to restore their mana, enough to last them several times over after using up their mana.

Therefore, there is no need to conserve mana.

Although the land near Longyuanze was a wild and untamed place, teeming with monsters, it was clearly not enough to pose a threat to the two of them.

Their only concern was not being discovered by other monks.

Otherwise, they would easily be discovered that they are not cultivators from the Hualong Sect.

After traveling at high speed for more than two days, the two finally arrived at their destination safely.

"The wilderness holds great dangers, but also great opportunities!"

"Although these vassal families of the Dragon Transformation Sect are required to fight for the sect and offer them spiritual resources, the resources they themselves control are still far beyond what our families can match!"

"Look at this Chen family. They're just a small family with fewer than a hundred cultivators, yet they have four Foundation Establishment cultivators within their ranks. They also possess resources covering hundreds of miles around, and no one can compete with them!"

On a mountain peak covered with towering ancient trees, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi hid on the summit, gazing at the mountain gate of a cultivation family more than thirty miles away. They couldn't help but feel envious of the abundant resources that family possessed.

The two of them had previously scouted the area and discovered that some of the surrounding mountains were covered with centuries-old medicinal herbs that had never been harvested. Some of the herbs even showed clear signs of human intervention, suggesting that they had likely been planted by humans.

Such a thing is unimaginable in Yasukuni.

The rogue cultivators of Jingguo dared not even venture into the mountain gates of major sects like Qinglian Temple to collect herbs, and they even dared to covet the spiritual herbs cultivated within the mountain gates of some immortal cultivation families.

However, in the area pioneered by the Hualong Sect, there were no independent cultivators at all.

In this wilderness, monsters can be seen everywhere, including even second-tier monsters.

Even if a group of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators ventures into the wilderness, they can easily be wiped out by monsters.

In Jingguo, ordinary merchant caravans could travel from Yunzhou to Lanzhou, and then travel through several other states to do business.

However, in the Hualong Sect, ordinary people can only settle in mountain cities near the cultivator gathering places built by the immortal families and the Hualong Sect, and it is difficult for them to go to places more than a hundred miles away in their entire lives.

Risk and opportunity go hand in hand.

It is precisely because low-level cultivators can hardly survive alone here that the wild resources of various spiritual herbs are extremely abundant here, and they have not suffered the devastating exploitation that occurred in Jingguo.

Therefore, any cultivation family that can gain a foothold here possesses resources far superior to those of cultivation families in Jing Kingdom!

"This is indeed a treasure trove, but unfortunately it's too close to Dragon Abyss Swamp!"

"Although we don't know exactly how the Dragon Transformation Sect persuaded the dragon clan in Dragon Abyss Marsh to allow those great demons to tolerate them expanding their territory and developing their power here."

"But one thing is certain: those great demons will absolutely not allow our human race to truly occupy this region and transform it into a real human kingdom!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head and calmly revealed the truth.

Why is it that everyone knows this wilderness is rich in resources, yet the various factions of the Yasukuni Kingdom have never come to occupy and develop it?

Those low-level rogue cultivators don't have the strength to go deep into this place, but don't the various sects of Jingguo have?

Actually, it's not that we lack the ability to develop it, it's that we can't!

This desolate land is the tacitly agreed-upon buffer zone between the human race and the demon race, led by the dragon clan, in the Dragon Abyss.

Human factions will not send large numbers of people to occupy land and reclaim wasteland, and the demon race will not launch large-scale invasions into countries such as Jing Kingdom.

Those forces that dare to disregard this tacit agreement and occupy land here for reclamation will be slaughtered by the great demons in Dragon Abyss Marsh, unless they have obtained permission from the Flood Dragon Clan like the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Of course, if one day the major human factions feel they have the strength to subdue the dragon clan and are no longer afraid of the demons in Dragon Abyss Swamp retaliating, then...

At that time, this desolate land will definitely still be incorporated into the territory of the human kingdom.

Many of the territories of the human race's various countries were conquered step by step in this way.

"Yes, large-scale development is definitely not feasible!"

Zhou Mingde nodded, having no objection to Zhou Daoyi's words.

But he quickly changed the subject, continuing, "However, with that secret passage, once Dao Yi or Dao Quan have also opened their Purple Mansions, our Zhou family might be able to quietly establish a base here, and then arrange for some clansmen to come and train, secretly plundering the resources of this place!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly and said, "This is feasible. We can discuss it with Zhengchun when we get back."

Time passed slowly as the two chatted idly.

After waiting for about a day, the two saw a crimson dragon horse with dragon horns fly out from the Chen family mountain gate and fly swiftly towards the main altar of the Dragon Transformation Sect, riding on fiery clouds.

On the back of the Fiery Dragon Steed, which exuded the aura of a second-tier high-grade demonic beast, sat a beautiful young woman.

The young woman, named Chen Linlin, was Zhou Mingde's target for this trip.

The two watched from afar as the woman rode away on her fiery dragon steed, and they weren't in a hurry to follow her.

They waited until the other party was hundreds of miles away before riding together onto the back of the Azure Dragon, which carried them in pursuit.

Compared to the Rank 3 Azure Dragon, which is skilled in flight, Chen Linlin's mount, the Fiery Dragon Steed, is undoubtedly much inferior.

In just a few short hours, the distance between the two sides had been reduced to within fifty miles.

At that moment, she also noticed the presence of the Azure Dragon behind her.

However, she was still unaware of the gravity of the situation. Upon seeing the third-tier azure dragon, she was initially startled, and then surprisingly took the initiative to ask Zhou Mingde, "May I ask which dragon envoy of the Azure Dragon Hall you are, fellow believer? I am Chen Linlin, a protector of the Crimson Dragon Hall, and my husband is Elder Xiao Zhengyang of the Crimson Dragon Hall!"

Dragon Tamer?

When Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi first heard these three words, they were both taken aback.

However, the two soon realized that this "Dragon Tamer" might be a special identity held by those cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Sect who could control dragons.

However, neither of them knew anything about the Azure Dragon Hall of the Dragon Transformation Sect, let alone the name of the Dragon Tamer there.

He remained silent and continued chasing after them.

Seeing that the two of them did not respond, and considering that he did not seem to have heard of any Dragon Tamer in the Azure Dragon Hall at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, he decided to leave.

The young woman, Chen Linlin, quickly regained her senses and immediately shouted angrily, "No, you are not members of our sect! Who are you?!"

Before her shout had even finished, she hurriedly jumped off her mount, put it into her spirit beast pouch, and then transformed into a streak of crimson light and flew away at top speed.

She had clearly realized by then that the other party was likely targeting her.

But by the time she realized this, it was too late.

Urged on by Zhou Daoyi, the Azure Dragon accelerated rapidly, quickly bringing the two of them within twenty miles of Chen Linlin.

Then it opened its mouth and spat out a beam of bluish-white light that blasted towards Chen Linlin.

Knowing the immense power of the dragon, Chen Linlin dared not underestimate this attack.

She hurriedly summoned a yellow jade ruyi, and with a surge of her magic power, the yellow jade ruyi began to spin rapidly, releasing a rich yellow glow that protected her within.

The bluish-white beam of light spewed out by the azure dragon struck the yellow glow, but it only caused the yellow glow to tremble slightly before falling silent!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingde's expression changed slightly.

But there's no turning back once the arrow is released. Since the attack has already begun, no matter how strong the enemy is, there's no choice but to grit your teeth and keep going.

Therefore, he quickly patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the Fire God Jackal. Then, together with Zhou Daoyi, they flew off the back of the Azure Dragon, allowing the Azure Dragon to act freely.

In today's battle, the real main force is still the Azure Dragon!

When Chen Linlin saw that Zhou Mingde had released the first third-tier low-grade demonic beast again, her expression changed again, and panic appeared in her eyes.

She quickly shouted angrily, "Who sent you to kill me? Was it that vile woman Lin Hongyu?!"

She wasn't stupid; she knew that given her status and position, she wouldn't hesitate to hire someone to kill her. The only person who would dare to hire someone to kill her was Lin Hongyu, who was competing with her for that precious spiritual item.

However, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi would not betray Lin Hongyu before they had succeeded.

At this moment, no matter how much she shouted and cursed, they ignored her and focused all their efforts on attacking her.

hold head high--

Ow—

The roar of the Azure Dragon and the howl of the Fire God Jackal echoed across the wilderness.

These two monsters were also excellent teammates; one set the fire, and the other fanned the flames, making the fire even more powerful.

Under their combined attack, Chen Linlin was soon forced to use the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," transforming into a dragon girl covered in crimson dragon scales.

I wonder if the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" really has such a great influence on cultivators.

Originally, Chen Linlin, who looked quite delicate and weak, became as fierce as Lin Hongyu after transforming into a dragon girl.

A crimson spear appeared in her hand. With a single thrust, she left a bloody gash on the azure dragon's body, its hard scales appearing as if they were made of paper.

The Vulcan Jackal no longer dared to get close enough to fight her, fearing that she would kill him with a single spear thrust.

The magical attacks unleashed by Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were also unable to cause any effective damage to her, either being blocked by her protective magical artifacts or by the dragon scales on her body.

At this moment, only the Azure Dragon can fight her head-on, making her take it seriously.

However, just as she was bracing herself for the battle with the Azure Dragon, she suddenly felt a scorching heat coming from behind her.

It turns out that the Fire God Jackal had actually spat out its inner core!

What does it want to do?

Upon discovering this scene, Chen Linlin's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but divert much of her attention to the Vulcan.

After she used the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," the Fire God Jackal's demonic fire couldn't harm her at all.

But the inner elixir is different.

The inner core of a demon beast contains its essence and is also its strongest attack.

If the Vulcan Jackal were to self-destruct its inner core, she would likely be severely injured on the spot.

Therefore, she had to take this matter seriously.

But in fact, all of this was Zhou Mingde's scheme.

Of course, he wouldn't be willing to let the Vulcan Jackal he had painstakingly cultivated self-destruct its inner core.

He was just deliberately using this to distract Chen Linlin and prepare for his real killer move.

Taking advantage of Chen Linlin's attention being drawn to the Azure Dragon and the Fire God Jackal, he immediately flicked his sleeve and took the opportunity to unleash the Poison Dragon Cone talisman that Lin Hongyu had given him.

Oh no! We've fallen for their trap!

Chen Linlin was, after all, a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. After using the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," her perception of danger was greatly enhanced.

The moment the Poison Dragon Cone was used, she immediately sensed something was wrong and realized she had fallen into a trap.

So she hurriedly tried to activate a shield artifact to block the dark light.

But at this moment, Qingjiao risked taking a spear from her and smashed the shield-like magical artifact away!

Before she could use any other means, the dark light swiftly pierced through the yellow glow released by the Ruyi magic artifact and struck her lower abdomen.

"Poison Dragon Cone! It really was that vile woman Lin Hongyu who sent you!"

Looking at the long, black cone that had pierced through the dragon scales and entered her body, Chen Linlin had no more doubts.

This kind of talisman can only be crafted by the Dragon Transformation Sect, and only the sect's protectors can obtain it.

But it's too late for her to know all this now!

The toxins of a third-tier poisonous dragon are difficult to remove even for dragons of the same tier, let alone for a human cultivator like her.

If it were any other poison, even a potent one capable of killing a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, she might still be able to resist it for a while with the help of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique".

However, the venom of the Poisonous Dragon is known for its rapid and potent venom.

In just a few breaths, the crimson dragon scales on her body turned bluish-gray, indicating that the poison had begun to take effect.

Knowing full well that she was doomed, she gave up resisting and glared at Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi with eyes full of resentment, saying, "My husband will not let you get away with this. He will definitely avenge me!"

As he spoke, flames suddenly burst forth from his body, as if he intended to burn himself to avoid being humiliated by the enemy.

"Qingqing, stop her!"

As if he had just realized something, Zhou Daoyi hurriedly shouted to stop Qingjiao.

Although the Azure Dragon obediently spat out a cyan light blade at her in time, it still failed to succeed.

Soon, Chen Linlin, along with her storage bag and spirit beast bag, burned to ashes!

First update of the day!
