Chapter 192 Zhou Chun's Absurd Speculation: Revealing His Identity [Please Subscribe]

The caves that the scaled frogs dug in the mountain walls varied in size, with some large enough for two or three people to stand and walk side by side, while others were so small that one had to bend over to enter.

The size of a cave is generally determined by the status of its inhabitant.

The lowest-ranking ordinary people of the Scaled Frog race lived in small, shallow caves that could only accommodate two or three people.

The caves inhabited by the scaled frog alien sorcerers were all dug out to be quite large and deep, housing not only the sorcerers themselves, but also their spouses, children, and servants.

Of these caves, the one inhabited by the second-tier high-grade sorcerer was the largest and deepest.

This cave is located in the central area of ​​the mountain wall. Its entrance is eight feet high and more than ten feet wide. In front of the entrance, there is a suspended platform made of wooden planks, which connects to a walkway.

Standing on the wooden platform, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the vast expanse of Longyuanze Lake, a truly excellent vantage point.

But Zhou Chun had no heart to appreciate any of this now.

After he and Instructor Wu landed on the platform, they immediately rushed into the cave and descended the steps, heading deeper into the cave.

As they entered the cave, a series of loud rumbling sounds emanated from its depths, clearly indicating a fierce battle taking place inside.

This made Zhou Chun and his companion, who were already filled with worry, even more frightened, and their steps unconsciously slowed down.

"Instructor Zhou, who exactly is fighting the Four Protectors inside? Could it be a third-tier sorcerer from the Scaled Frog race?"

As they were walking, Zhou Chun suddenly heard Instructor Wu's voice transmission in his ear.

He paused slightly, then replied in a low voice, "I don't know, but that's very likely it!"

Upon hearing his answer, Instructor Wu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately muttered to himself, "If he really is a third-tier warlock, then he shouldn't be a match for the Four Guardians!"

He nodded vigorously again, saying, "Yes, a third-tier sorcerer is definitely no match for a Purple Mansion stage cultivator!"

However, his self-hypnotic words did not elicit any agreement from Zhou Chun.

He didn't know exactly how strong a third-tier warlock was, but it was clear that the person fighting the fourth guardian was no weakling!

Otherwise, the four guardians wouldn't have called for help by shouting.

"Instructor Zhou, Instructor Wu, what are you two dawdling about? Do you intend to put the Four Protectors in danger?"

Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out from the depths of the cave in front of Zhou Chun and the others.

It turned out that Guo Chen, who had come in first, noticed that the two of them hadn't kept up and immediately questioned them.

This sudden question instantly cornered the two of them.

"That damn bastard, he not only wants to die, but he also drags us down with him!"

Instructor Wu was so angry that he couldn't help but mutter curses under his breath, and then quickly sped up to catch up.

Clearly, despite his anger and frustration, he understood how serious the consequences would be if he didn't act quickly enough and the Four Protectors won.

Zhou Chun naturally followed suit as well.

Following Guo Chen ahead, the three of them rushed into the deepest part of the cave and finally discovered the enemy fighting the Four Protectors.

That was indeed a Tier 3 sorcerer from the Scaled Frog race!

However, unlike others, this scaled frog alien sorcerer could also wield the magical artifacts of cultivators, and the magical artifacts he wielded were all quite powerful.

When Zhou Chun and his group arrived at the battlefield, the Four Protectors were already being suppressed and beaten by the enemy.

The underground cavern where the battlefield was located also suffered partial collapse due to the battle between the two third-tier beings, which looked quite worrying.

Upon noticing Zhou Chun and his companions' arrival, the Fourth Protector, his face beaming with joy, hurriedly shouted, "You've come at the perfect time! Quickly join forces to help this protector slay this fiend!"

But as soon as he said that, the scaled frog alien sorcerer suddenly raised his hand and pointed, sending a beam of crimson light towards Zhou Chun and the others.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and the other two quickly dodged to avoid it.

They soon discovered that the crimson light was not heading towards them, but rather towards the passage they had come from.

The crimson light struck a spot in the passageway, and a deafening roar erupted, causing the entire underground cavern to shake violently.

Amidst this violent shaking, the passage that Zhou Chun and his group had come through was completely blocked by countless rocks and mud.

Upon seeing this, not only did Zhou Chun and the other two's expressions change drastically, but the Fourth Protector also shouted in shock and anger, "What are you trying to do? You've sealed off the exit; aren't you afraid you'll have nowhere to escape?"

As soon as the words fell, a tongue-twisting human voice rang out from the scaled frog alien sorcerer: "Why should I flee? Now that you Dragon Transformation Sect scum have discovered me, I have no choice but to bury you all here!"

"You can speak human language!!"

The four guardians were startled and stared at the scaled frog alien sorcerer with shocked expressions.

Seeing his shocked expression, the scaled frog-like sorcerer suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Hehehe, are you surprised? I'll tell you more after you die!"

Before the sound faded, it suddenly puffed out its mouth and then opened it wide to let out a loud cry.

Quack!!

A thunderous croaking sound suddenly erupted, instantly rupturing Zhou Chun and the others' eardrums, causing them to lose consciousness and fall into a brief state of disorientation.

Even the Fourth Protector, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, was momentarily distracted.

Although his momentary lapse in concentration was only a fleeting instant, perhaps less than a breath.

But when masters clash, victory or defeat can be decided in a single breath.

A flash of crimson light appeared, and in that instant, the four guardians, who had been momentarily stunned, let out a scream as if struck by lightning.

The scream seemed to awaken Zhou Chun and the other two.

When they regained consciousness, they saw that a crimson short sword had been stuck in the chest of the four guardians.

That crimson short sword, of unknown grade, was so powerful that it couldn't even defend against the dragon scales on the Fourth Protector's body. It pierced through the heart with a single blow, leaving only the hilt sticking out.

The four guardians also seemed to find it hard to believe that they had been defeated so quickly.

As he coughed up blood, clutching the crimson short sword to his chest with his claws, he stared incredulously at the scaled frog alien sorcerer, saying, "The Crimson Dragon Dagger, a magical artifact of the Crimson Dragon Hall! How could you possibly possess such a thing! Who are you?!"

Before the scaled frog alien sorcerer could react to the fourth guardian's words, Guo Chen's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed, "The Crimson Dragon Dagger! How could it be the Crimson Dragon Dagger!"

"Instructor Wu, what is the Crimson Dragon Dagger?"

Zhou Chun was completely bewildered by their cryptic conversation and turned to Instructor Wu for clarification.

He had only been a member of the Dragon Transformation Sect for a short time, and hadn't even figured out what was going on in the Golden Dragon Hall, let alone the Crimson Dragon Hall.

Upon hearing his words, Instructor Wu swallowed hard and said, "The Crimson Dragon Dagger is indeed the Crimson Dragon Dagger. It's a magical artifact that only cultivators at the Crimson Dragon Hall's protector level can possess, and it's generally only bestowed upon the top three Crimson Dragon Hall protectors. It's said to be forged from the dragon teeth of a fourth-tier Crimson Fire Flood Dragon, and its power is immense!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the scaly frog-like sorcerer let out a strange laugh, "Hehehe, didn't I just say that I would tell you everything after you die!"

Then, with a flick of his claws, the "Crimson Dragon Dagger" magic weapon, which had been covered by the four guardians, flew out of his body and landed in his frog-like hand.

As the magical artifact was removed, the four guardians seemed to lose their lives as well, collapsing limply to the ground and vomiting large mouthfuls of blood.

It was clear that he wouldn't survive.

"Now it's your turn. All members of the Dragon Transformation Sect must die!"

The scaled frog alien sorcerer turned his gaze to Zhou Chun and the other two, his tone icy cold.

Zhou Chun and the other two were also horrified when they heard his words.

Zhou Chun was shocked, but his mind raced. He quickly shouted, "Wait! Senior, please wait! I am not a member of the Dragon Transformation Sect. I am an undercover agent sent by the Jing Kingdom to infiltrate the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

"What! Instructor Zhou, you...!"

Guo Chen and Instructor Wu were both stunned, looking at Zhou Chun with shocked expressions.

Even the Fourth Protector, who was still breathing on the ground, stared wide-eyed at Zhou Chun.

At this moment, Zhou Chun quickly raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, summoning a golden bell-shaped magic artifact that hovered above his head. He then continued to shout, "My real name is Zhou Zhengchun. I am the vice patriarch of the Zhou family, a cultivation family in Lanzhou, Jingguo. I was entrusted by Senior Qingweizi, the abbot of Qinglian Temple, to infiltrate and gather intelligence at the Hualong Sect!"

"Giggle, giggle, interesting, really interesting!"

An amusement flickered in the frog-like eyes of the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer, and he chuckled strangely, saying, "Since you say you're not a member of the Dragon Transformation Sect, I'll give you a chance. Kill them and I'll believe you!"

The "they" it refers to naturally refers to Guo Chen and Instructor Wu.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Zhou Chun called out, and without saying a word, he patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the silver lightning python Bai Bai, directly using the secret technique of "Ancestral Revival" to transform it into a thunder dragon.

Then he unleashed the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel] and bombarded Guo Chen.

"You really are a spy!"

Guo Chen roared angrily and hurriedly tried to block the attack from Zhou Chun's servant.

The instructor Wu was also unwilling to accept his fate and, with a face full of shock and anger, activated his magical artifact to fight against Master Zhou Chun and his servant.

Although their combined strength was not as great as that of the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer and the four guardians, both of whom were third-tier beings, it still caused great damage to the underground cavern.

Large amounts of rocks and mud began to pour down, making it look as if the entire underground cavern could collapse at any moment.

This scene caught the eye of the scaled frog alien sorcerer.

Then, with a flick of his finger, he unleashed the "Crimson Dragon Dagger" magic weapon in his hand, instantly beheading Guo Chen with a single sword strike.

Without Guo Chen, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, to share the firepower, Instructor Wu was also cut in two by Zhou Chun's [Sun-Radiant Golden Wheel] amidst a look of utter despair.

"Now you should believe what I just said, senior, right?"

Zhou Chun raised his hand and the golden circular magic artifact flew back to him, where he held it in his hand. He then looked at the scaled frog alien sorcerer and gave him a very forced smile.

To be honest, he had no idea whether the other party would really let him go just because he wasn't a member of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

However, in that situation, after sensing the other party's extreme hatred towards the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect, he had no choice but to reveal his true identity to reduce their hostility.

As for his earlier confrontation with Guo Chen and Instructor Wu, that was something he was bound to do after revealing his true identity, even without the coercion of the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer.

Looking at Zhou Chun, who seemed humble and ingratiating but was actually full of vigilance towards him, he realized that Zhou Chun was the opposite of him.

Looking again at Bai Bai, who had transformed into a thunder dragon beside Zhou Chun, the scaled frog alien sorcerer couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, it nodded slightly and said, "Judging from your methods and magical artifacts, they certainly don't seem to belong to the Dragon Transformation Sect. I'll trust you for now!"

As it spoke, it raised its hand and flung the "Crimson Dragon Dagger" at the corpses of the four guardians on the ground, piercing their heads in one strike.

Faintly, Zhou Chun seemed to hear a miserable scream filled with resentment coming from the body of the four guardians.

The Scaled Frog alien sorcerer shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to give him a chance to disintegrate his soul, but who would have thought he would still harbor such unrealistic thoughts? He's really courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun instantly understood what the screams he had just heard were all about.

After a cultivator opens their Purple Mansion, their divine soul manifests within it, granting them various profound and wondrous abilities.

One of the mysterious supernatural powers is that after the physical body dies, the soul leaves the body and possesses another person's body.

If the possession is successful, although the original powerful cultivation will be lost, the realm will remain. The difficulty of cultivating back to the Purple Mansion realm will undoubtedly be much less than that of a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The fourth guardian's heart was shattered by a single blow from the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer, making his physical death inevitable.

But he was unwilling to perish, and his soul refused to dissipate. He remained hidden in his dantian, hoping to find an opportunity to possess another body and be reborn.

Unfortunately, the situation just now left him no chance to possess the body, and the scaled frog alien sorcerer had already seen that his soul was unwilling to dissipate.

Now, his soul has been forcibly scattered by the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer, and he has been completely annihilated.

However, how could the scaled frog alien sorcerer know that a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage could possess another's soul?

It's important to understand that due to differences in cultivation systems, not everyone who reaches the third rank possesses the ability to possess another's soul.

For example, the demon race can condense an inner core at the third stage, while the human race has to wait until the fourth stage, the Golden Core stage, to form a more profound Golden Core.

Although Zhou Chun didn't know what special abilities the third-tier sorcerer of the Scaled Frog alien race possessed, he knew that it was unlikely that he could perform soul possession like a human cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage.

Then, considering that this scaled frog alien sorcerer could not only wield the magical artifacts of human cultivators, possessing multiple third-tier magical artifacts, but also wielded the "Crimson Dragon Dagger," a weapon possessed only by the top three protectors of the Crimson Dragon Hall.

Furthermore, based on his previous use of the "Ancestor Revival" secret technique and the "Sun-Radiant Golden Wheel" magic weapon, it was said that his methods were not something that a cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect would possess.

An extremely absurd guess suddenly popped into Zhou Chun's mind!

This is the first update today, an hour earlier than yesterday. The second update tonight should be able to be consistently released by 8 PM. I'll try to stabilize the update schedule starting tomorrow!
