Chapter 218 The Fire God Jackal's First Kill in the Purple Mansion [Please Subscribe]

Longyuanze, Lu Ran.

As soon as Zhou Daoyi uttered those five words, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun instantly understood his meaning.

Indeed, compared to asking other Purple Mansion stage cultivators who were on good terms with the Zhou family for help, Lu Ran, the former Crimson Dragon Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect, was the best choice for assistance.

First of all, Lu Ran now deeply hates the people of the Hualong Sect, and he will absolutely not have any objection to besieging and killing the protectors of the Hualong Sect.

Secondly, Lu Ran wouldn't care how the Zhou family knew the Hualong Sect was going to deal with Zhou Chun, nor would he care about that, as he couldn't make a fuss about it.

Finally, after Lu Ran helped kill the person, he didn't even try to steal credit from the Zhou family. The credit for killing a protector of the Hualong Sect would go entirely to the Zhou family!

"Lu Ran is indeed a very good helper, but if we want him to come and lend a hand, we can only do so through that underground river channel. Wouldn't that mean another outsider would know about the secret passage?"

Zhou Mingde frowned slightly and voiced his concerns.

The underground river system is arguably a major factor in the Zhou family's future rise to prominence.

If the news leaks out, the Zhou family will no longer be able to monopolize the convenience of this underground waterway.

However, Zhou Daoyi calmly said, "Given Lu Ran's current state, even if he knew about the underground river, it would only make it easier for him to come to Lanzhou and relive the life of the human race."

"As long as our Zhou family cooperates with him sincerely, anyone with a brain will know that exposing the existence of the underground sewers will not benefit him at all!"

Lu Ran is now a Scaled Frog alien, and that cannot be changed no matter what.

Possession is a skill that every cultivator only has one chance to perform, at least that's what Zhou Chun knows.

Therefore, regardless of whether he considers himself human or not, he has no chance of surviving in the cultivation world as a human cultivator.

He was well aware of this himself.

At the same time, because of his past identity as the Crimson Dragon Protector of the Hualong Sect, if he dares to expose his whereabouts in Jingguo, Qinglian Temple will probably arrest him first and interrogate him for all the information he knows about the Hualong Sect and the information about Longyuanze.

He was well aware of this as well.

For this reason, Zhou Daoyi believed that even if Lu Ran knew about the existence of the underground river channels, it would not affect the Zhou family's ability to use them to develop the wilderness.

"Daoyi, what you say does indeed make some sense!"

"If we can deepen Lu Ran's trust in our Zhou family through this incident, and the two sides can engage in more in-depth cooperation, it will be of great benefit to the family's future development in the wilderness!"

Zhou Mingde nodded thoughtfully, which was considered as agreeing with Zhou Daoyi's suggestion.

After the three discussed the matter in detail, Zhou Daoyi quietly left the Zhou family and went to Longyuanze to invite Lu Ran.

A few days later, Zhou Daoyi, who was outside, sent a secret message through a flying eagle, saying that he had taken Lu Ran to a relevant location and hidden him away.

Zhou Chun had no more worries at this point, and immediately left the Jiufengling family's mountain gate alone, flying towards the southeast.

A pair of eyes observing from the shadows witnessed this scene.

Afterwards, the owner of the eyes glanced at the location of the Zhou family's mountain gate again, and then quietly left the vicinity of the Zhou family's mountain gate, secretly following Zhou Chun.

After leaving the family's mountain gate, Zhou Chun flew at a steady, unhurried speed, as if he were traveling normally.

He didn't know if the protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect who accepted the bounty would fall for it, but he had enough patience to wear the other party down.

Even if the other party doesn't fall for it this time, he still has a backup plan.

Therefore, he maintained a very stable mindset.

However, Zhou Chun had clearly overestimated the patience of that Dragon Transformation Sect protector.

Or perhaps he overestimated his importance in the other person's eyes.

In the eyes of that Dragon Transformation Sect protector, there was clearly no need to be so careful when capturing a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him.

Just go for it!

Therefore, he had only traveled less than three hundred miles from his family when he suddenly noticed a black figure flying rapidly toward him from behind.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "I am Zhou Zhengchun, the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family of Jiufeng Ridge. May I ask who the senior behind me is?"

As he spoke, he put away the azure flying boat beneath his feet, summoned the [Mysterious Spirit Golden Bell] magic artifact and suspended it above his head, looking at the black figure with a wary expression.

As he watched, the black figure raised its hand and waved, sending a black water snake, several meters long, flying towards him.

"Senior, you..."

Zhou Chun's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly reached into his robes and pulled out a talisman that glowed with a hazy blue light, which he then activated.

Instantly, the talisman emitted a bright blue light, transforming into a giant blue lotus phantom that protected Zhou Chun within it.

The black water snake pounced on the lotus phantom, just like waves crashing against a dam, instantly shattering itself into spray.

"Huh, it's a high-grade third-tier defensive magic talisman!"

A surprised exclamation rang out from the air, and the owner of the black water snake, a masked cultivator dressed in a black robe, was staring at Zhou Chun with wide eyes of astonishment.

Zhou Chun, his face filled with shock and anger, glared at the masked cultivator and roared, "Who exactly are you, senior? Why did you suddenly try to kill me?!"

Upon hearing this, the masked cultivator said in a grim tone, "This must be one of the benefits the Green Lotus Sect offered you for infiltrating their sect!"

He then coldly chuckled, "Even a high-grade third-tier defensive talisman can't save your life today!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun belatedly realized what was happening and immediately cried out in panic, "I know! You're from the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

As he spoke, he prepared to flee towards the location of the Zhou family's mountain gate.

The illusory blue lotus was connected to his aura; it moved along with him, and was very agile.

But how could the masked monk sit idly by and watch him escape?

With a wave of his hand, a blue-gold trident-shaped magical weapon struck Zhou Chun. Without hesitation, he made a hand seal and cast the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," transforming into a half-human, half-dragon monster.

Bang bang bang!

With a series of muffled thuds echoing from mid-air, the illusory lotus protecting Zhou Chun was immediately subjected to a fierce attack from the trident magic weapon and the masked cultivator himself.

The masked cultivator was like a demonic beast, relentlessly striking the illusory lotus protecting Zhou Chun with his dragon claws.

He knew very well that against the defense formed by the third-tier high-grade defensive talisman, none of his powerful spells and secret techniques could break through it in one or two strikes.

It would be better to use an extremely fast attack speed to wear down the power of the Azure Lotus phantom.

Anyway, after he used the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique", his own defense increased greatly, and he was not afraid that Zhou Chun's attack could threaten him.

This place is two or three hundred miles away from the Zhou family. Even if Zhou Chun releases a signal firework, it will take at least half an hour for Zhou Mingde inside the Zhou family's mountain gate to arrive at the scene after hearing the news.

He refused to believe that he couldn't break through the mere blue lotus phantom formed by a third-grade high-level defensive magic talisman in half an hour!

However, to his utter surprise, less than a quarter of an hour after he had surrounded and attacked Zhou Chun, two powerful auras suddenly erupted from a river not far away.

When he realized something was wrong, he saw a blue dragon and a powerful scaled frog alien sorcerer flying towards the battlefield at the same time.

"A third-tier Azure Dragon! And a third-tier Scaled Frog alien sorcerer!"

Upon seeing this strange pair, the masked monk's eyes widened in disbelief, almost wondering if he was seeing things.

Putting aside the question of how such a powerful demonic beast as a third-tier Azure Dragon could appear in such an obscure little river within the territory of Lanzhou.

What's the deal with that third-tier scaled frog alien sorcerer?

Are the scaled frog aliens of Longyuanze, who were wantonly oppressed and enslaved by the Hualong Sect, now able to extend their reach into the heart of Jingguo?

The masked monk felt that what he was seeing overturned his understanding, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

Just as he was starting to have trouble processing what was happening, the Azure Dragon carrying Zhou Daoyi and Lu Ran swiftly entered the battlefield.

They're here to rescue people!

Only then did the masked cultivator shudder and instantly realize the intentions of the Azure Dragon and the Scaled Frog alien sorcerer.

Then a chill instantly rose from the soles of his feet and surged all the way to his forehead!

Why did the Azure Dragon and the Scaled Frog alien sorcerers arrive so quickly?

They must have been lying in ambush all along!

No, perhaps it shouldn't be called an ambush, but rather a tailing operation.

Upon reflection, the masked cultivator quickly realized that Zhou Chun seemed to have been flying along the direction of that small river for the past hundred miles.

I was fooled!

The masked monk finally understood the truth.

He didn't know how Zhou Chun knew in advance that he was coming to arrest him, but he knew that someone within the Hualong Sect must have leaked the information, and that the person who leaked the information must be a protector-level person.

Because only those at the Guardian level can access and know about a Class A bounty!

He must live to send this message back to the sect, so that the sect's leaders can find the traitor who betrayed the sect's interests!

Thinking of this, the masked cultivator immediately abandoned his attack on Zhou Chun, and began to form hand seals, preparing to use an escape technique to leave the area.

But at that moment, Zhou Daoyi, who was on the back of the Azure Dragon, took out a blue mirror and pointed it at him, shining a blue light.

When the azure light shone on him, the masked cultivator instantly felt his magical power stagnate, making it difficult to even mobilize, let alone use any escape techniques.

"Damn it, it's Fu Bao!"

He glanced at the blue mirror and instantly recognized its origin; his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

Clearly, the enemy had come with premeditation, had calculated his reaction, and had no intention of giving him a chance to escape.

Even so, he could not give up any hope.

With a low roar, he unleashed his magical power, instantly defying the influence of the azure light, and fled swiftly towards the desolate wilderness.

As a protector of the Black Dragon Hall, using that small river to escape using water escape techniques would have been a good option.

However, since the enemy includes the Azure Dragon and the Scaled Frog, who are also skilled in water-based escape techniques, he would be courting death if he dared to do so again.

Therefore, the only way to survive now is to quickly escape into the wilderness.

But they are currently thousands of miles away from the wilderness, and it will be very difficult for him to escape as he wishes.

In the sky, the azure dragon moved and put Zhou Daoyi and Lu Ran down. Then, it transformed into a blue dragon shadow and pounced on the black dragon protector.

Although he was slightly inferior to the Black Dragon Protector, who was at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, the Azure Dragon, renowned for its flying speed, was clearly much faster.

Soon, the fleeing Black Dragon Guardian was forcibly stopped and engaged in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran also joined the battle, unleashing magical artifacts and spells to launch a fierce attack on the black dragon protector.

At the same time, Zhou Daoyi reached out and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, releasing the Fire God Jackal that he had brought with him, allowing it to join the battle.

Faced with the combined attack of two third-tier demonic beasts and a scaled frog alien sorcerer of the same tier, as well as Zhou Daoyi manipulating talismans to interfere with and slow down his movements from time to time, the black dragon protector was soon caught off guard and suffered serious injuries.

"Damn it! Who leaked the information?! How did you know I was coming to arrest that brat?!"

A hysterical roar, like that of a wild beast, came from the Black Dragon Guardian's mouth. His eyes were bloodshot as he parried the various attacks from his four opponents, letting out a furious roar of resentment.

But no one answered his questions; all he received in response was a barrage of attacks.

Not long after, a streak of fire rushed over from afar, and Zhou Mingde finally arrived.

Upon seeing this, the nameless black dragon protector finally revealed a look of despair.

He knew he had no chance of surviving today!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

With a roar, he suddenly unleashed the full power of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" and charged towards Zhou Daoyi.

He knew that even if he risked his life, he couldn't take away his three opponents, Qingjiao, Huoshen Chai, or Lu Ran, nor could he take away Zhou Chun, who was still being protected by the Qinglian phantom.

Therefore, the only option is to try and take away Zhou Daoyi, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But he didn't realize that this was just wishful thinking on his part!

But then the azure dragon flicked its tail, and its body suddenly vanished from the spot like a gentle breeze.

When it reappeared, a long dragon tail lashed out at the Black Dragon Guardian, sending him flying.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ran seized the opportunity to unleash the "Crimson Dragon Dagger" magic weapon that he had been keeping hidden, hitting the Black Dragon Guardian's vest as it flew backward.

"The Crimson Dragon Dagger! It's actually the Crimson Dragon Dagger! How did you get the Crimson Dragon Dagger?!"

The Black Dragon Guardian turned his head to look at Lu Ran, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, just like the Golden Dragon Hall's fourth guardian who was killed by Lu Ran with the "Crimson Dragon Dagger".

"Everyone in the Dragon Transformation Sect deserves to die!"

Lu Ran stared coldly at the Black Dragon Protector and uttered his first words after his appearance in his unique and strange tone, his words filled with endless hatred.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the black dragon protector's distraction...

The Vulcan Jackal pounced on him and slapped him on the head with its claw, delivering the final blow!

It also completed its first kill of the Purple Mansion stage with Zhou Mingde!

Awooo—

A wolf howl filled with excitement resounded through the sky.

After slaying its powerful opponent, the Vulcan Jackal raised its head and roared with excitement in its eyes.

The bloodthirsty nature of the jackal was on full display at this moment.
