Chapter 93 The Power of the Flood Dragon Sparks Momentum from All Sides [Please Subscribe]

A gentle breeze blows across the river, and the river flows swiftly.

Above the Cangyun River, several cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage from the Yunzhou cultivation world were now caught in a dilemma.

After much scheming and planning, we finally got the chance to have the Azure Dragon alone today.

I thought this battle would be a resounding success, bringing me both fame and fortune.

But just when they thought their mission was about to be accomplished...

Suddenly, the weather changed drastically, and the black dragon appeared out of nowhere.

If we were to abandon our efforts and retreat at this point, it would be tantamount to wasting all our previous hard work.

Having learned this lesson today, it will be extremely difficult to find such an opportunity again in the future, and there may not even be any chance at all.

However, if they do not retreat, the five of them are no match for the combined strength of the Black Dragon and the Azure Dragon.

"Fortune favors the bold, so let's take a gamble, everyone!"

After some hesitation, the old man in green who had trapped the azure dragon was unwilling to leave empty-handed and gritted his teeth to reveal his thoughts.

As soon as he said this, the middle-aged swordsman in white said in a deep voice, "Thirty breaths. If you can't succeed within thirty breaths, then retreat. Otherwise, it will be difficult to leave even if you want to!"

"Let's give it a shot!"

"Let's give it our all!"

"Let's do it!"

The remaining few were also unwilling to return empty-handed, and they all gritted their teeth and agreed.

In an instant, the group unleashed a fierce attack with their magical artifacts and took out various talismans to strike the Azure Dragon.

However, after receiving a response from the black dragon, the green dragon also displayed an extremely strong will to survive, and relied on the powerful vitality of the dragon clan to withstand all kinds of attacks.

What shocked the cultivators from the Purple Mansion Realm was that their estimated thirty breaths for the final gamble were actually not that long at all.

In just over ten breaths, the black dragon, which was still thirty or forty miles away, was already able to intervene in the battlefield.

Suddenly, the river water around the Azure Dragon surged into the sky, forming a huge water sphere that enveloped the Azure Dragon.

Most of the attacks from the Purple Mansion cultivators were blocked by the water sphere.

Even more impressively, the water sphere seemed to possess healing properties; after the water sphere appeared, the wounds on Qingjiao's body began to heal visibly as soon as they appeared.

This scene filled the several Purple Mansion cultivators with both shock and anger.

"The situation is hopeless, retreat immediately!!"

The middle-aged swordsman in white shouted, immediately raised his hand to retrieve his flying sword, and turned to leave without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the others also withdrew their magical artifacts and turned to flee.

But when they tried to leave, the two dragons refused.

As the old man in green robes withdrew the golden-blue ring magic artifact that had trapped the azure dragon, the freed azure dragon let out a joyful hiss, then glared angrily at the old man in green robes.

Of the five cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, if one were to ask who it hated the most, it would definitely not be the middle-aged swordsman in white who had left various wounds on it, but rather the old man in green who had trapped it.

If it hadn't been trapped by the old man in green's magic weapon from the beginning, with its supernatural abilities, even if it couldn't defeat five Purple Mansion cultivators head-on, it would never have been surrounded and beaten up.

So now that it has escaped, the person it most wants to take revenge on is the old man in blue.

Its dragon tail swayed, and its body soared upwards, stirring up the wind and clouds in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, it rode the wind and flew away on the clouds, appearing directly in front of the old man in green who had gone ahead.

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of azure light, which instantly transformed into a huge tornado that enveloped the old man in azure robes.

"How dare you, you beast!"

The old man in blue roared in shock and anger, and hurriedly waved his sleeve to summon a blue flying sword to slash at the tornado.

But the wind is unpredictable and ever-changing.

Under the control of the Azure Dragon, the tornado easily pierced through the azure flying sword and then swept him into it.

Trapped in the eye of the storm, the old man in green was no longer in control of his own destiny, instantly experiencing the same feeling as when the Azure Dragon was trapped.

After successfully striking, Qingjiao pressed his advantage, throwing himself into the whirlwind and launching a close-range attack on the old man in green.

"Fellow Daoists, save me!!"

A short while later, the old man in blue robes cried out for help from inside the tornado.

But by this time, the other four had already traveled twenty or thirty miles away, and the black dragon had also arrived at the battlefield riding on rolling black clouds.

Who would dare turn back to rescue the old man in blue at this moment!

Soon, as the black dragon rode the black clouds and engulfed the tornado, the old man in green fell silent again.

By the time Zhou Chun arrived at the scene, the battle had already ended.

He could only learn about some of the events from some monks who witnessed the battle from afar.

When Zhou Chun learned that the five Purple Mansion cultivators had failed to besiege the Azure Dragon, and instead had one of them killed, he was extremely shocked.

Generally speaking, under the same cultivation level, human cultivators are stronger than demonic beasts.

Only some strange and powerful monsters, or those with exceptionally strong bloodlines, are exceptions.

The dragon is naturally an exception!

However, it's a bit too exaggerated that five Purple Mansion cultivators could besiege a third-tier Azure Dragon and still have one of them killed!

Is the strength of a third-tier dragon really that great?

Zhou Chun regretted not being there at the time and not being able to witness the great battle firsthand.

However, this also gave him a lot more expectations for his Silver Lightning Python.

If the dragon is really that powerful, then if he could one day transform the Silver Lightning Python into a dragon for nothing, wouldn't he be invincible among his peers?

Thinking this way, Zhou Chun felt incredibly excited.

In particular, after he learned that the Azure Dragon had bled a lot and lost many scales when it was injured, he became even more tempted.

No longer caring about concealing their presence, they joined many cultivators who had rushed to the scene and used the "Water Avoidance Technique" to dive into the river, searching for any possible dragon blood artifacts.

However, this matter is like finding a needle in a haystack; it all depends on luck.

The Cangyun River is dozens of feet deep and the current is rapid. If the dragon's blood and scales fall into the river, they will either be washed away or sink into the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, making them difficult to find.

Moreover, there are many fish, shrimp, and crabs in the river, and these aquatic creatures may swallow the dragon's blood and transform into demons.

Of course, in most cases, they simply explode and die.

In short, after searching in the river for a while, Zhou Chun decided he didn't want to do anything more like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He directly asked his 27th uncle, Zhou Jiapeng, who had also rushed over upon hearing the news, to help him set up a stall by the river to buy dragon blood spirit items at high prices.

He then settled down in a nearby ordinary town to reflect on the impact of the war between humans and dragons.

"According to intelligence, apart from a few cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, no other cultivators participated in this battle with the dragon."

"And the water demon servants that Xu Kaishan mentioned have not been seen at all."

"This shows that his statement that day was merely a ruse to deceive people and make them believe him!"

"But if he wasn't deceiving people to steal those dragon blood artifacts, what was he deceiving them for?"

Inside the room, Zhou Chun leaned against the table, her right hand supporting her chin, and tilted her head slightly as she fell into deep thought.

Although the clan leader Zhou Daoyi forbade him to delve into the power behind Xu Kaishan, how could his already aroused curiosity be completely extinguished?

These days, he has recalled Xu Kaishan's unusual state that day countless times. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that Xu's pupils are like the vertical pupils of a snake, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the claw that Xu's right hand turned into is like the claw of a dragon.

If this is true, then Xu Kaishan and the forces behind him are probably inextricably linked to Jiaolong.

I'm afraid they might also have some ideas about the two dragons that appeared in the Cangyun River.

"It's now basically certain that the reason the high-level cultivators of Qinglian Temple haven't shown up yet is probably because the dragon hasn't laid its eggs yet. They must be waiting for the dragon to lay its eggs before they make their move."

"After this battle, the high-level cultivators in Yunzhou are probably either completely disheartened, or unwilling to give up, they're contacting more powerful figures, perhaps even asking Golden Core cultivators to slay the dragon!"

"With the mysterious forces behind Xu Kaishan, it's truly uncertain who will emerge victorious!"

Thinking about this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

After learning about the appearance of a dragon in Yunzhou, he only wanted to come here to obtain some dragon blood spiritual items.

However, the reaction of the clan chief Zhou Daoyi later made him feel that his purpose was not as simple as just getting some dragon blood spiritual items.

But now he realizes that even obtaining dragon blood artifacts is not as easy as he thought.

This was fully confirmed by the fact that Uncle Zhou Jiapeng, the 27th, did not get anything from him in the following days.

Hundreds of cultivators searched the entire stretch of the river, which was over a hundred miles long, but they never heard of anyone finding the dragon blood artifact.

If it weren't for the numerous eyewitnesses who swore they hadn't confirmed that the Azure Dragon had bled profusely and lost many scales, even Zhou Chun might have doubted whether these things had ever appeared.

But where did the dragon blood and dragon scales go?

Just as Zhou Chun and many other cultivators were puzzled by this matter, at a certain point in the lower reaches of the Cangyun River, beneath the river water that cuts through the mountains.

One after another, water monsters of various shapes and sizes were biting with their mouths and digging with their claws, gradually excavating an underwater cave deep into the mountains.

Whenever a water sprite gets tired, exhausted, or powerless from digging, it will go to a nearby patch of aquatic plants to eat and rest.

And what they were eating were human corpses that had been soaked and rotted by water!

Among the dense thickets of aquatic plants, there were no fewer than a thousand human corpses of all sizes!

Not far from where these human corpses were stored, there was another underwater sand pit, in which was piled a bunch of broken blue dragon scales and a lot of soil stained with the blood of the dragon spirit.

Some aquatic creatures, such as loach, eel, turtle, alligator, and water snake, are fighting fiercely around the sand pit. Only the victor can enter and devour the dragon scales and blood.

However, the vast majority of them die from ruptured blood vessels after consuming even a small amount of dragon scales or blood.

Those who are lucky enough to survive will quickly generate magical power and demonic energy in their bodies, and their bodies will also grow and mutate rapidly.

Some turtles grow horns on their heads and scales on their bellies.

Some loaches and eels will also grow rapidly in size, develop fine scales on their bodies, and have sharper teeth.

Some alligators will grow to a huge size, develop dragon scales all over their bodies, and have sharper, more pointed claws.

These water sprites, transformed from ordinary creatures, will soon join the ranks of water sprites digging caves.

The masterminds behind these water monsters digging the caves were naturally the two dragons.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon was sleeping with most of its body buried in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river.

The black dragon watched from the side, constantly spitting out strands of water essence that fell onto the green dragon's body, nourishing and healing its injuries.

It is obvious that the two dragons used their own spiritual blood to create water demon servants to dig caves, preparing to build their nest here.

Once the dragon's nest is completed, the female azure dragon will soon lay dragon eggs and reside in the nest to incubate them.

The female dragon will not resurface until the baby dragon is born.

The fact that the Azure Dragon was attacked and injured this time undoubtedly served as a great warning to the two dragons, making them much more restrained.

In addition, after the previous floods, they had accumulated enough "food" for the water demon servants to eat, so they no longer needed to do such a thing.

Next, all you need to do is focus on building the dragon's nest and training dragon servants to guard it.

Let's go back to Zhou Chun.

After waiting for many days without acquiring the Dragon Blood Spiritual Item, Zhou Chun completely gave up on the idea.

He judged that if he really wanted to obtain the Dragon Blood Spiritual Object, he would probably have to wait until the high-level cultivators of the Azure Lotus Temple started to make their move.

Only when a true dragon-slaying war breaks out can enough dragon blood artifacts appear.

If the high-level cultivators of Qinglian Temple successfully slay the dragon, the dragon's corpse will definitely be divided and sold.

At that time, as long as you are willing to spend spirit coins, you will not have to worry about not being able to buy some dragon spirit blood and flesh.

In light of this, Zhou Chun was no longer in a hurry to find any dragon. He simply asked his twenty-seventh uncle, Zhou Jiapeng, and fourth brother, Zhou Zhengyu, to keep an eye out for news and stay in touch.

After waiting in Yunzhou for almost three months, a piece of news suddenly shook the entire Yunzhou cultivation world!

Rumors, of unknown origin, circulated that the nest of the two dragons was located below the Feima Mountain section of the lower reaches of the Cangyun River, and that the female dragon had already laid its eggs.

Once this detailed and seemingly plausible news spread, it quickly attracted many cultivators to go and investigate.

Soon after, many water monsters were discovered in the Pegasus Mountain section of the river, and many of them clearly had dragon-like characteristics.

Now, the cultivators who had previously harbored doubts about the news had no more doubts. In an instant, almost half of the cultivators in Yunzhou were rushing to the previously unknown Flying Horse Mountain.

After confirming the matter, Zhou Chun quickly found his 27th uncle, Zhou Jiapeng.

"Uncle Peng, you must return to the clan as quickly as possible and inform the clan leader of the appearance of the Flood Dragon's Nest."

Upon hearing Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Jiapeng immediately nodded solemnly and replied, "I understand. Zheng Chun, you should also be careful and not put yourself in danger!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Peng, I'll take good care of myself."

Zhou Chun responded and watched as Zhou Jiapeng rode the Iron Feather Eagle into the sky.

After seeing Zhou Jiapeng off, he hurried to Feima Mountain.

He knew very well that no matter which force spread the news, once it was confirmed, the high-level cultivators of Qinglian Temple would have to take action.

Feima Mountain will soon be famous throughout Yunzhou, and even Jingguo!

The first update of the day is here!
