Chapter 193 The Guesses Come True, the Scaled Frog Reveals a Secret [Please Subscribe]

An extremely absurd guess popped into Zhou Chun's mind.

It made him feel that he might be driven crazy by the immense pressure at this moment, otherwise how could he have made such an absurd guess!

However, because of his own experience, he felt that this seemingly absurd guess might actually be the truth!

After all, his own bizarre experiences were far more bizarre and absurd than his current ridiculous speculations.

So, as if possessed, he suddenly looked at the scaled frog alien sorcerer and exclaimed, "Senior, were you perhaps a human cultivator before?"

Ok?

The scaled frog alien sorcerer's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Zhou Chun with a sharp gaze.

Then he said in a deep voice, "How did you know?"

It's really true!

Zhou Chun was utterly shocked.

I never imagined that my absurd guess would actually be true.

Gudu!

His throat contracted and moved slightly, making a soft swallowing sound.

Suppressing his inner shock, he recounted his guessing process.

Of course, he would never reveal that he himself had transmigrated and possessed another person's body. He only mentioned that he had once seen a record in a certain book about a human cultivator possessing the body of a different race.

There's no way to get to the bottom of this, so he's naturally not afraid of the scaled frog alien sorcerer exposing him.

Upon hearing his words, the scaled frog alien sorcerer opposite him relaxed, muttering to himself, "So there were others who did the same thing as me before?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and asked, "Do you know what happened to that senior who, like me, possessed a different race? Did he ever return to the human race?"

There's a story behind it!

Upon hearing the words of the scaled frog alien sorcerer opposite him, Zhou Chun immediately and keenly perceived the deeper meaning in the other party's words.

Clearly, even if a human cultivator successfully possesses the body of a non-human, there are likely unspeakable hidden dangers.

The story he had just made up on the spot undoubtedly convinced the other party to believe it and make them want to know if there was a way to resolve the hidden danger.

Although Zhou Chun noticed this, he couldn't actually give the other party an answer.

He could only shake his head slightly and say, "That book only records this one story. The senior who recorded it simply made a deal with that senior who possessed the alien race, and then there was no further record!"

"How could this happen? Why did this happen?"

The scaled frog alien sorcerer's face darkened, and he cried out in disappointment.

Even the magical power within him was on the verge of going berserk and out of control.

Zhou Chun was also startled when he saw this scene.

He quickly and quietly stepped back a little.

But the only entrance to this underground cavern was blocked, so his retreating steps were at most just a way to comfort himself.

Fortunately, after venting his anger, the scaled frog alien sorcerer quickly regained his senses, controlled his rampaging magic, and returned to his sanity.

Then, looking at Zhou Chun, he said, "This is not a place to stay for long. The Dharma Protector level cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect have all been implanted with the Dragon Soul Seed. Once they die, the sect will immediately find out, and it won't be long before Golden Core stage cultivators arrive here to check the situation."

After saying that, he instructed Zhou Chun to collect the belongings from the corpses on the ground and burn them to ashes, including the second-tier high-grade sorcerer who had been killed here by the four guardians.

Then it walked to a stone wall in the cave, pressed down hard on a certain spot with its claws, and suddenly pushed the stone wall open.

There was a well-disguised stone door there!

Behind the stone gate is an escape passage that leads directly to the Dragon Abyss Marsh below.

After Zhou Chun followed it directly into the Dragon Abyss Waters through the passage, it took him to the side of other scaled frog alien sorcerers.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Chun captured by their clan's saint, the two second-tier sorcerers who had narrowly escaped immediately started squawking and clamoring to tear Zhou Chun to pieces so that their clansmen could eat him.

However, the scaled frog alien that had been possessed by the cultivators scolded the two without any mercy, and then ordered them to lead their people to migrate to another alternative habitat, abandoning this settlement.

However, instead of following the Black Spear Tribe to their new habitat, it took Zhou Chun directly into the depths of Dragon Abyss.

"The Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan have an agreement that cultivators of the sect are not allowed to enter the Dragon Abyss Swamp. If we go deep into the Dragon Abyss Swamp, even if the leader of the Golden Dragon Hall comes, he will not dare to follow us in."

On the way, the scaled frog alien who had taken control of Zhou Chun also explained to him why he had done so.

This made Zhou Chun even more curious about its true identity before it possessed his body.

Seeing how much hatred it harbored towards the Dragon Transformation Sect, Zhou Chun assumed it was an enemy of the Dragon Transformation Sect, a cultivator from Jingguo or another country who had been killed by Dragon Transformation Sect practitioners.

However, its ability to wield the "Crimson Dragon Dagger" magic weapon and its profound understanding of the Dragon Transformation Sect seem to contradict this conjecture.

But despite his curiosity, Zhou Chun knew he was currently under someone else's control, so it was best to be careful with his words. He would wait until he had a better understanding of the other party before satisfying his curiosity.

And so, led by this Scaled Frog alien, he traveled six or seven hundred miles through the Dragon Abyss before finally settling on an island in the middle of the swamp.

The island is not large, only a little over ten miles long and less than six miles wide.

However, the island is covered with lush vegetation and is inhabited by various mythical creatures and animals, including turtles, crocodiles, snakes, and birds.

However, once the demonic beasts sensed the aura emanating from the scaled frog alien race, they quickly scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing into the marshland.

In the end, Zhou Chun and his companions stayed temporarily in a cave on the island.

After the two occupied the cave that had originally been inhabited by a demonic crocodile, the scaled frog alien cast a spell to cleanse the cave of its stench, then plopped down on the ground and said, "Alright, we're safe here for now."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Chun beside him and said meaningfully, "While I can still control myself now, let's say whatever we want to say and exchange some information that we both want to know!"

The underlying meaning of these words made Zhou Chun's heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly replied, "Senior, please speak freely. As long as I can answer, I will not hide anything!"

"Very well, since you're so sensible, then I won't stand on ceremony."

The Scaled Frog alien nodded, then looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "You previously said that you were sent by the abbot of the Qinglian Temple, a major sect of the Jingguo, to infiltrate the Hualong Sect and gather intelligence. What intelligence are you trying to gather?"

"Since Qinglian Temple sent you here to gather intelligence, does this mean that Hualong Sect has already gone to war with Jingguo?"

"If war were to break out between the two sides, which side would have the upper hand?"

"What standing do you and your family hold in the eyes of the abbot of Qinglian Temple? Does he even listen to what you say?"

"you……"

It was quite blunt, asking Zhou Chun seven or eight questions in one go.

Fortunately, none of these questions were beyond Zhou Chun's scope of answers.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Zhou Chun replied with a serious expression: "Senior, you are wise. The Hualong Sect did indeed launch an invasion war against Jingguo more than ten years ago. The two sides fought in Yunzhou of Jingguo for several years, and both sides lost a lot of low and middle-level cultivators. The Hualong Sect also lost many protectors."

"However, that war was just a probing attack by the Hualong Sect. Neither side had any Golden Core cultivators participating in the war. Although the Hualong Sect suffered considerable losses, it also plundered a lot of mortals and cultivators from Jing Kingdom."

"Since then, both sides have deployed heavy troops in the border area and are in a standoff."

"The reason I was sent to infiltrate the Dragon Transformation Sect is because the various factions in Jingguo believe that since the Dragon Transformation Sect has taken action, it won't be just a small-scale skirmish like last time. There will definitely be more intense attacks later. That's why we want to find out how deep the relationship is between the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan, and whether the Flood Dragon Clan will intervene in the war between the various factions in Jingguo and the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

At this point, Zhou Chun suddenly bowed to the scaled frog alien opposite him and said, "As for how high my and the Zhou family's status is in the eyes of the Abbot of Qinglian Temple, I dare not boast. I can only say that my Zhou family currently has several members with third-tier combat power. Furthermore, in order to help me successfully infiltrate the Dragon Transformation Sect, Abbot Qingweizi also taught me the secret technique of Qinglian Temple's 'Heart Lotus Orthodox Method' and had me consume the precious Purple Jade Soul Lotus!"

After finishing speaking, he went on to answer a few more questions from the other party.

After answering all of the other party's questions, Zhou Chun saw an indescribable complex expression in their eyes, seemingly both happy and sad, in short, extremely complicated.

Seeing this, he didn't dare to disturb the other person and could only wait silently for them to come to their senses.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Zhou Chun finally heard the other person speak again.

He opened his mouth and exclaimed in a deep voice, "I never imagined that such a great thing would happen outside in just over a hundred years. It truly broadens my horizons!"

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Zhou Chun and said, "You must have a lot of questions on your mind, so please feel free to speak your mind."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed and said, "Then this junior has been presumptuous."

Then he looked at the person and asked, "Where did you come from before you possessed this body, senior? Why did you end up possessing the body of a Scaled Frog alien?"

Upon hearing this, the man slowly said, "This is a long story, but it has been weighing on my mind for over a hundred years. Today, let's get to the point!"

Then, in a low voice, he began to recount his origins.

It turns out that more than a hundred years ago, he was actually the second protector of the Crimson Dragon Hall of the Transformation Dragon Sect, named Lu Ran.

More than a hundred years ago, a major event occurred in the Red Dragon Hall of the Hualong Sect.

The Grand Elder of the Crimson Dragon Hall suddenly perished together with one of the hall's fourth-tier superior Crimson Fire Dragons, causing the Crimson Dragon Hall to not only lose two major combat forces, but also lose control over many protectors, envoys, and followers.

The solution to this problem was to arrange for the protectors, envoys, and followers to use the blood of other dragons to lay the foundation for their cultivation as soon as possible.

However, Lu Ran, the second protector of the Crimson Dragon Hall, was targeted because he was a direct disciple of the Grand Elder, and was sentenced to death.

He was naturally unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his death.

So he used the secret treasure bestowed upon him by the Grand Elder to fight his way out of the Crimson Dragon Hall and escape to Dragon Abyss, intending to use the special environment of Dragon Abyss to save his life.

But how could the leader of the Crimson Dragon Hall and the other elders let him go?

Although the death of the Crimson Fire Dragon prevented them from instantly killing Lu Ran using the "Dragon Soul Seed".

However, they still managed to find out Lu Ran's hiding place and plans using secret techniques, and sent a Golden Core elder to hunt him down.

As a protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect, Lu Ran naturally knew that he could not escape being tracked down.

After several attempts failed to shake off the pursuers,

Left with no other choice, he had to risk abandoning his original physical body and possess a first-tier sorcerer of the Scaled Frog race.

Whether human cultivators can possess the bodies of other races is something Lu Ran himself didn't know, but at that time he had no other choice but to take this risk.

Fortunately, his gamble paid off; he successfully devoured and merged with the soul of the scaled frog alien sorcerer, taking over the other's body.

Because he abandoned his physical body, which was used to cultivate the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," and burned it, the Crimson Dragon Hall elder, who tracked him by sensing each other through the same dragon blood, naturally assumed that he had died in Dragon Abyss.

After that, Lu Ran mingled among the Scaled Frog alien tribes as a Scaled Frog alien sorcerer, and through exploration, he gradually mastered the cultivation methods of the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer.

After more than a hundred years of cultivation, with the help of various aquatic treasures collected for him by the Scaled Frog tribe, his cultivation level has been smoothly improved to the third rank, and he is now a mid-grade third-rank sorcerer.

Moreover, although he is a Scaled Frog alien, due to his special soul, he not only mastered the abilities of the Scaled Frog alien race, but also could wield magical artifacts. It can be said that he is the master of two races, and his strength is even stronger than that of human cultivators of the same level.

Because he was forced to abandon his physical body, Lu Ran naturally harbored deep hatred for the Dragon Transformation Sect and wished he could kill all the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

However, he also knew how powerful the Dragon Transformation Sect was, far beyond what he and the Scaled Frog alien race could contend with.

Therefore, he used to hide in the shadows, instructing the sorcerers of the Black Spear tribe in their cultivation while also having them collect various aquatic treasures for him.

Those three silver-striped jade spirit frogs were actually his tamed spirit pets.

If it weren't for the Four Protectors bringing Zhou Chun and the others to the Black Spear Tribe and intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop, Lu Ran might have continued to live a life of hiding.

When Zhou Chun heard this, she was also amazed by Lu Ran's bizarre experience.

But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he said, "That's not right, Senior Lu. You've been cultivating alone for a hundred years without the protection of a purification array. How did you manage to resolve the effects of the turbid energy on yourself?"

He didn't know how the Scaled Frog aliens cultivated, but since they could still control magical artifacts, it meant that Lu Ran's cultivation must have involved the soul.

The influence of that turbid and malevolent energy on a cultivator's soul is unavoidable.

How can Lu Ran maintain his rationality after more than a hundred years of continuous influence and erosion?

Lu Ran quickly provided an answer to Zhou Chun's question.

"The turbid and malevolent energy is indeed one of the greatest obstacles hindering human cultivators from achieving immortality, but it is not without ways to neutralize it!"

"There is a type of demonic beast in Dragon Abyss called the Soul-Cleansing Water Demon. Once they reach the second tier, a special pouch will form inside their bodies. The Soul-Cleansing Spiritual Water inside can cleanse the soul and remove impurities!"

"I rely on hunting one or two second-tier Soul Cleansing Water Demons every few years to mitigate the impact of the turbid evil energy on my soul."

After saying this, Lu Ran suddenly turned to Zhou Chun in a seductive tone and said, "Do you want to know how the leader and deputy leader of the Dragon Transformation Sect are chosen? Do you want to know the conditions for cooperation between the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan? Do you want to know how to overthrow the Dragon Transformation Sect? Do you want to obtain spiritual items to help your family open the Purple Mansion and assist in Foundation Establishment?"
