Chapter 94 Surrounded by Enemies, No One Will Easily Survive! [Please Subscribe]
Yunzhou, Feima Mountain.
Feima Mountain was originally an obscure little mountain in Yunzhou. Occasionally, some rogue cultivators might go there to search for medicinal herbs, but it was by no means a sacred mountain or blessed land.
Such a small mountain used to hold no appeal for cultivators.
However, nowadays, because it is widely rumored that the dragon's nest is located in the Cangyun River section in the mountains, countless cultivators have gathered here.
Most of the cultivators gathered here didn't care who had spread the news.
They only cared about one thing: finding the dragon's nest and then fighting for the dragon eggs mentioned in the news.
If ordinary cultivators previously did not have a concrete impression of how powerful the dragon was...
After the five great cultivators of Yunzhou, who joined forces to slay the dragon but failed and even had one of them killed, everyone knew how powerful the dragon was.
Under such circumstances, upon learning that there are actually dragon eggs inside the dragon's nest, which cultivator would not be tempted!
Humans are prone to fantasy, even cultivators are no exception.
Every rogue cultivator has dreamt of one day receiving the inheritance of a Golden Core or even Nascent Soul cultivator, and then, with the help of the immortal pills and magical treasures left by their predecessors, advancing their cultivation by leaps and bounds, forming a Golden Core within a hundred years, and living a carefree life for a thousand years.
Although the dragon egg cannot compare to the high-level cultivator's inheritance in the dream, obtaining it would be enough to change the fate of a low-level cultivator!
If one could have a dragon as a spirit pet to command, who among those of the same level could rival them?
With the help of the growing dragon in the future, will I still have to worry about not being able to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills or treasures that will help me open up my Purple Mansion?
Therefore, even though they knew that the hope was extremely slim, it still could not stop the Yunzhou cultivators from coming to Feima Mountain.
When Zhou Chun arrived at Feima Mountain, he saw that the once desolate mountains and wilderness were now filled with the figures of cultivators.
The majority of them were Qi Refining stage cultivators, but there were also some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who could move swiftly and powerfully.
When Zhou Chun was searching for the dragon, he saw very few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
These Foundation Establishment cultivators probably knew that although they had some strength, it was far from enough compared to the dragon, so they didn't join in the fun.
But things are different now. We now know the location of the dragon's nest and that there are dragon eggs inside.
Faced with such enormous benefits, even some Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't help but be tempted and take action.
They certainly didn't have the ability to fight the dragon, but stealing a dragon egg, or taking advantage of the dragon's absence to smuggle some dragon blood and spiritual items from the dragon's nest, shouldn't be a problem, right?
There are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators on Mount Feima who came with this kind of idea.
Because too many cultivators gathered here, and since this place was neither a market town nor the gate of any particular family or sect, no one was maintaining order.
As a result, Zhou Chun had witnessed several battles and fights between cultivators in less than an hour after arriving here.
I even witnessed a rogue cultivator being burned to ashes by another cultivator's magic!
This was the first time Zhou Chun had ever seen such a chaotic scene.
He became even more cautious as a result, and even took out the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] and carried it on his back for the first time ever.
This move is both to deter those who might harbor ill intentions towards him and to ensure that he can immediately use his magical artifacts to deal with danger.
Of course, most cultivators still focused their minds on the "right path".
Along the banks of the river stretching for hundreds of miles around Feima Mountain, cultivators risked their lives to jump into the water in search of the dragon's lair.
Even without Zhou Chun making any special inquiries, he could often hear cultivators talking about the discovery of water demons in a certain place and the deaths of several cultivators.
At this point, no one questioned whether the dragon's lair was located within the Feima Mountain section of the river.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why there are so many water demons in this originally unremarkable section of the Pegasus Mountain River, and why they are all dragon-descended water demons related to the dragon.
However, the dragon's lair may have been hidden by the dragon using some kind of magic, making it difficult to find its exact location for the time being.
Zhou Chun certainly had no intention of searching for any dragon's nest.
Even if someone told him where the dragon's lair was, he wouldn't go to verify its authenticity.
Now, two dragons are guarding their nest. Only someone who's tired of living would think of going to the dragon's nest to steal its treasure.
He simply found a high mountain peak along the river and then settled down there to wait.
Zhou Chun is now almost certain that the high-level cultivators of Qinglian Temple will soon begin slaying the dragon, and they will definitely have a way to find the dragon's lair.
So now he just needs to look down from his high vantage point and wait for those high-level cultivators and dragons to appear.
To Zhou Chun's surprise, he encountered trouble not long after he stopped on the mountain.
"Hey you, brothers, we've taken this mountain. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
Suddenly, three men with late-stage Qi Refining cultivation arrived at the mountain peak where Zhou Chun was, and they tried to urge him to leave.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun frowned and looked at the leading man, saying, "You're being far too domineering. This mountain was originally unclaimed land, and I, Li, arrived here before you. Why do you expect me, the first to arrive, to leave as soon as you arrive?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the man immediately retorted arrogantly, "That's just how domineering I am, what are you going to do about it?"
Before Zhou Chun could respond, the man's face hardened, and he shouted, "Looks like you don't want to leave on your own. Well then, let us brothers give you a hand!"
Before the words were even finished, the three of them, as if they had planned it beforehand, simultaneously used their magical artifacts to launch an attack on Zhou Chun.
These three individuals, one at the eleventh level of the Qi Refining stage and the other two at the tenth level, were all quite powerful.
Fortunately, Zhou Chun was also on guard against them, and he immediately responded as soon as the three of them made their move.
He first used the Moon Blade Meteor Wheel to block the attacks of the two magical artifacts, and then activated the Bright Cloud Pendant to block another attack.
Then, he quickly patted his storage pouch at his waist, summoning the [Golden Scale Shield] for protection, and at the same time released the Rock Turtle.
The appearance of the enormous rock tortoise startled the three men who had attacked Zhou Chun.
He quickly withdrew and stepped back to create some distance from Zhou Chun, and cast a protective spell on himself.
Almost as soon as they finished doing this, sharp stone spikes burst from the ground beneath their feet, knocking them to the ground.
At the same time, the rock tortoise opened its big mouth, and a ball of yellow light transformed into a giant rock that fell towards one of them.
"Who exactly are you people? I have no grudge against you, so why do you try to kill me right from the start?"
Taking advantage of the fact that the group was stunned by the appearance of the rock tortoise and their attack slowed down, Zhou Chun finally had a chance to look at the three of them and angrily ask the question that had been bothering him.
He is not a fool.
If the three of them wanted to drive him away and take over the mountain, it could only be said that he was used to acting domineeringly.
So, to resort to violence without a word, and to the point of killing someone, is clearly a deliberate act of targeting him.
What puzzled him was that he had never met these three people, nor had he offended any cultivators in Yunzhou.
Why would these three people be so determined to kill me?
But the three of them did not answer his question.
They simply reassigned the combat tasks: one person would distract and attack the rock tortoise, while the other two would launch a fierce attack on Zhou Chun using magic talismans.
But if it's just two people, Zhou Chun won't have such a hard time.
His wealth is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can compare to.
He immediately mustered his strength and calmly faced the challenge, using the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] to block and intercept the two magic weapons while simultaneously employing the secret technique of the [Five Elements Spirit Armor Technique] to enhance his own protection. Occasionally, he would also cast one or two magic talismans as supplementary means.
He would also command the rock tortoise to cast spells to interfere with the two, preventing them from focusing on attacking him.
As for the rock tortoise's own safety, there is absolutely no need to worry; enemies simply cannot break its shell.
However, to Zhou Chun's utter surprise, he had just fought three opponents to a standstill, holding his own against them.
Not long after, a middle-aged man and woman, who seemed to be a couple, arrived on the mountain. Judging from the way they were heading straight for the battlefield, they probably weren't there to help him.
Because he didn't know those two people.
If they weren't helping him, and they came straight to the battlefield like this, then the outcome isn't hard to guess.
This further confirmed Zhou Chun's previous suspicion that these people were specifically there to target him.
"You are Xu Kaishan's accomplices!"
Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to have figured out a key point, and his expression changed drastically as he looked at his opponent and shouted.
Upon hearing his words, the men's expressions changed drastically, their eyes flashed with cold light, and their attacks became even more ferocious.
This confirmed Zhou Chun's suspicions instantly.
Then he was both surprised and angry, and a strong desire to retreat arose in his heart.
If the enemy is from the same faction as Xu Kaishan, then there must be Foundation Establishment cultivators or even Purple Mansion cultivators behind them.
These people are here to kill him and silence him!
Just as Zhou Chun was about to retreat, his opponent seemed to have realized his intention to withdraw and immediately ordered the middle-aged couple who had come to his aid to surround and intercept him from behind.
Clearly, they didn't intend to let him leave this place alive!
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun knew that she could no longer hesitate or be reluctant.
He immediately put away the rock tortoise, then withstood an attack from the three opponents, and took out the second-tier magic talisman "Wind Travel Talisman" that the clan leader Zhou Daoyi had bestowed upon him and activated it.
Instantly, azure spiritual light surrounded Zhou Chun, and with just a thought, his body quickly floated into the air.
"He's trying to escape! Stop him!"
The angry shout came from the man who had spoken to Zhou Chun at the beginning. He raised his hand and threw a first-grade high-quality magic talisman, the "Fire Serpent Talisman," at Zhou Chun.
But he was undoubtedly dreaming.
A gentle breeze swirled around Zhou Chun, and he quickly flew to a height of several hundred feet in the air. Then, he swiftly soared out of Pegasus Mountain at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In this situation, unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator launches a pursuit against him.
Otherwise, even if a Qi Refining stage cultivator had a flying artifact, he would quickly leave them far behind, and they wouldn't even be able to see his shadow.
Those who were besieging Zhou Chun obviously realized this quickly, so they did not take off to pursue him, but just watched him go far away with grim expressions.
Little did they know that Zhou Chun, who was leaving, also had a very unpleasant expression on her face.
He had previously been ambushed by Xu Kaishan and nearly disemboweled.
He hasn't avenged the sneak attack yet, but instead, he's been surrounded and attacked by the crowd to silence him, forcing him to use his last resort to save his life.
This was something he, who was used to everything going smoothly, couldn't possibly swallow.
What frustrated him even more was that, to this day, he didn't even know the name of the force behind Xu Kaishan.
They were almost surrounded and killed, but they didn't even know where the enemy came from.
What a frustrating thing this is!
"Since you're not willing to let this go, then nobody's going to get away with this! You brought this on yourselves!"
In the desolate wilderness, after landing, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he had already thought of a way to take revenge.
Having received a warning from clan leader Zhou Daoyi, he did not want to cause any more trouble.
But now that they've bullied him and are threatening to kill him, if he doesn't retaliate, wouldn't he be emboldening the enemy?
Do you really think he can be bullied at will?
Do it when you think of it!
After resting for a while and recovering his magical power, Zhou Chun began to take action.
He once again used his makeup skills to disguise himself and spread the news to the monks who came to Pegasus Mountain under multiple identities.
"What I said is true. Just when that person was about to be killed by the water demon, he suddenly used some kind of secret technique. His eyes turned into beastly pupils, scales grew on his face and body, and his hands turned into dragon claws. He immediately turned the tables and tore the water demon apart as it pounced on him, then began to devour the water demon's flesh!"
"It's horrible! My friend only had a minor argument with that bastard, and he turned into a half-human, half-dragon beast, tearing my friend apart and even eating his heart and liver right in front of me!"
"Fellow Daoist, you must be careful since you've just arrived. It's said that some cultivators around Feima Mountain have been enslaved and controlled by a dragon using magic. They're acting as accomplices, deceiving other cultivators to gain their trust and then sending them to be fed to the dragon!"
"By the way, it's said that these guys have also been endowed with special abilities by the dragon, allowing them to transform into half-dragon, half-human monsters. After transforming, they need to consume the hearts and livers of living people to regain their human form!"
……
One rumor after another, both true and false, spread rapidly among the cultivators of Feima Mountain, causing many cultivators to become vigilant.
Although rumors are said to stop with the wise.
However, for the general public who are not directly involved, they will not care whether the rumors are true or false if they believe that the rumors can make them safer.
Just like the rumors Zhou Chun is fabricating now, it's hard to tell whether they're true or false.
But choosing to believe can make you more vigilant.
So even if many people don't completely believe it, they will still pay attention and take it to heart.
Because the cultivators in the Feima Mountain area are now a mixed bag with all sorts of backgrounds, these rumors spread quickly and reached the ears of some Foundation Establishment cultivators and even Purple Mansion cultivators.
In a secluded valley in the Pegasus Mountains, a middle-aged Taoist priest in green robes heard several rumors from a junior who had gone out to gather information, and his expression changed slightly.
He seemed to recall something, and murmured to himself, "A cultivator who can transform into a half-human, half-dragon monster through secret techniques? This reminds me of a certain secret sect that was expelled from Jingguo long ago. Are they preparing to make a comeback?"
At this point, the Taoist in green robes' eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling tone, "So, it's highly likely that they're the ones who leaked the information about the dragon's lair this time!"
After saying that, a look of doubt flashed across his face, and he muttered to himself in a puzzled tone, "But who leaked their information now? Could there be more forces involved?"
Thinking of this, the Taoist in green robes' face darkened.
Yunzhou is the territory of Qinglian Temple. Without their consent, they dare to send high-level cultivators to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Then don't blame them for taking drastic measures!
Immediately, the Taoist in green robes sent messages to several friends, asking them to come to Feima Mountain as soon as possible to meet up. He also informed the sect about the re-entry of a certain secret sect into Jing Kingdom, requesting the sect to investigate the matter thoroughly.
On the other hand, Zhou Chun didn't know how much success her rumors would achieve.
However, he knew very well that such rumors were something that the forces behind Xu Kaishan definitely did not want to see.
So when he discovered that the rumors were spreading very quickly, he was very happy.
For him now, he's happy as long as his enemies are unhappy.
After all, he really had no other means to retaliate against his enemies.
They even had to worry that the enemy would find them again and kill them.
Fortunately, he wasn't without powerful backers.
After staying in the Feima Mountain area for about four days, Zhou Chun finally met Zhou Daoyi, the clan leader who had come all the way from Jiufeng Ridge.
