This is probably the black dragon's last struggle!

On a mountain peak, Zhou Chun watched the battlefield from dozens of miles away, no longer doubting the outcome of the battle.

As soon as the black dragon emerged from its cave, it was quickly surrounded and beaten by five cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple.

This time, it even lost its home advantage, and its performance was not as good as before.

The two sides fought for about two hours, after which the black dragon was covered in injuries and no longer possessed its previous ferocity.

hold head high--

With a reluctant hiss, the black dragon turned its head to look back at its nest with a look of reluctance, and then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out its inner core.

Compared to the inner core that the Azure Dragon spat out that day, the Black Dragon's inner core was much larger and brighter, and its power was naturally much stronger.

When it spat out its inner core, the Qinglian Temple cultivators tensed up and quickly slowed their attacks, focusing their attention on the inner core.

The power of a monster's inner core attack is no joke; it can even destroy their magical artifacts.

More importantly, there is an extreme use for the inner core of a demon beast: self-destruction!

If a demonic beast were to self-destruct its inner core, its power would be greater than any magic or supernatural ability. If a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage were to be hit head-on at close range, virtually no one would survive!

Now that the Black Dragon needs to protect the Green Dragon inside its nest, it's hard to say whether it will definitely not do so.

The cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage were naturally unwilling to risk their lives by betting that the other party would not do such a thing.

Just then, the black dragon used the powerful force of its inner core to clear a path, blasting away several magical artifacts in one fell swoop and breaking through the encirclement in an instant.

Yes, break through!

The black dragon completely exceeded the expectations of the five Purple Mansion stage cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple, breaking through the encirclement and escaping into the surging waters of the Cangyun River.

This unexpected scene left several cultivators from the Purple Mansion of the Azure Lotus Temple slightly taken aback.

Immediately, one of the Taoist priests seemed to realize something and shouted, "Oh no! We can't let it get away! The dragon egg is very likely on it!"

Upon hearing his words, the others immediately realized what he meant and hurriedly chased after the fleeing black dragon.

After such a long battle, the black dragon still carries the power left behind by them, so there's no need to worry about losing it for the time being.

"What is it doing? Is it using itself as bait to create an escape opportunity for the Azure Dragon?"

On the mountain peak, Zhou Chun was slightly taken aback when he saw the black dragon break through and enter the water. He then expressed his guess with a look of surprise.

As for the words of the few cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage from the Azure Lotus Temple, he naturally couldn't hear them because they were too far away.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi said with a deep gaze, "No matter what it's doing, it won't be so easy for the Azure Dragon to escape!"

Sure enough, it was as if they were echoing Zhou Daoyi's words.

After the five Purple Mansion cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple chased the black dragon away, several Purple Mansion cultivators from Yunzhou who had been watching from the shadows revealed themselves and began to use their magical artifacts and spells to bombard the dragon's nest, trying to force the azure dragon out of the cave.

The earth is shaking!

Under the bombardment of the three Yunzhou Purple Mansion cultivators, the mountain where the dragon's nest was located trembled violently and shook, with a large amount of rocks breaking and falling off, looking like it was about to collapse.

In this situation, the water monsters hidden inside the dragon's lair couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out in large numbers.

One after another, strangely shaped water demons rushed out of the dragon's lair, their cultivation levels varying.

Those with strong cultivation are already second-tier demonic beasts, equivalent to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Those with weaker cultivation levels are even only comparable to mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

In less than a quarter of an hour, over a hundred water demons rushed out of the dragon's lair.

After these water demons emerged, they all fled towards the distant river.

But with so many cultivators gathered in the Pegasus Mountain area at this time, how could they possibly watch these water demons re-enter the water?

Immediately, Foundation Establishment cultivators or late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who were watching the battle from various mountain forests took to the air.

Once the water demons had moved a distance away from the dragon's lair, they immediately began to intercept and slaughter them.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at the clan leader Zhou Daoyi beside him and said, "Clan leader, why don't you give it a try? Those dragon-descended water demons all have some dragon blood in them. Your Azure Cloud Python should benefit from absorbing them, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi shook his head disdainfully and said, "They are merely inferior dragon-descended water demons spawned using the blood of a dragon. Given time, without the nourishment of the dragon's aura, most of them will degenerate into ordinary water demons. What's the point of fighting over them!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun didn't say anything more.

Looking at the dragon's lair, even though a large number of water demon servants had run out, the azure dragon inside remained calm and composed, showing no sign of coming out.

"You're not coming out, are you? Then I'll bury you alive!"

In the sky, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the yellow-robed man who had participated in the siege of the Azure Dragon. He immediately activated the power of the long staff magic weapon that had been blasted away by the Azure Dragon's inner core to its maximum, transforming it into a giant stone pillar that slammed into the mountain peak above the dragon's lair.

Rumble!

A deafening roar echoed through the mountains. A mountain peak, hundreds of feet high, was smashed open by the man in yellow with a single blow, cracking it in countless places. Rocks and mud collapsed, burying most of the entrance to the dragon's lair below.

Even so, the Azure Dragon still did not show its head, which was incredibly calm.

"Something's not right! There might be a trap!"

Beside Zhou Chun, Zhou Daoyi's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted out loud.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun was taken aback and quickly asked, "Clan leader, what have you discovered? What's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Daoyi kept everyone in suspense, shaking his head repeatedly and saying, "It's hard to say, you'll find out as you watch!"

This made Zhou Chun feel quite bored.

But not daring to ask too many questions, they could only suppress their doubts and continue watching.

On the other side of the dragon's lair, the man in yellow was still attacking the mountain. He quickly blasted and destroyed most of the mountain, completely blocking the entrance to the dragon's lair.

It seems they really intend to bury the azure dragon inside alive!

But at that moment, the water level in a pool dozens of miles behind the dragon's lair suddenly dropped sharply, and soon it was mostly emptied.

Then the enormous body of the Azure Dragon flew out from underwater and into the air.

It turns out that there is another secret passage in the dragon's lair that leads directly to this pool of water!

First, the black dragon broke through the encirclement to lure away the five cultivators from the Purple Mansion of the Azure Lotus Temple.

They delayed further, waiting for the hidden cultivators from the Purple Mansion of Yunzhou to reveal themselves.

Finally, while the Yunzhou Purple Mansion cultivators were focused on the entrance to the dragon's nest, he drove the water demon servants away to distract them, while he secretly cleared a waterway and used a feint to leave the nest through a secret passage.

Who says monsters lack intelligence?

Who says monsters don't understand strategy?

High-level demonic beasts, especially those with great strength and intelligence like the dragon, are far superior to ordinary demonic beasts!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qingjiao's feint attack this time will be a perfect tactical performance.

But an accident happened.

Or perhaps this wasn't an accident, but rather part of a larger scheme.

Someone had already foreseen the Azure Dragon's plan and found it the moment it showed itself.

At that moment, the Azure Dragon had just soared into the sky from the pool, preparing to ride the wind and clouds to escape this place.

Suddenly, a dark blue chain shot out from the nearby forest.

Like a venomous snake that had been lurking for a long time, it coiled around the dragon's body.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon felt a tightness all over its body. Its strength and magic power were inexplicably suppressed and weakened by a strange force, and it could not use its strength.

This situation terrified it, and it immediately began to struggle violently with all its might, trying to break free of the chains binding it.

However, it had only recently laid its dragon eggs and was in a weakened state, with neither its magical power nor its physical strength being as good as before.

How could they possibly break free from this chain-like magical artifact specifically designed for the dragon clan?

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the Yunzhou Purple Mansion cultivators.

"Over there! Someone beat us to it!"

The yellow-robed man, who was still frantically trying to shatter mountains and split the earth, suddenly became angry, hurriedly withdrew his long staff magic weapon, and flew swiftly towards the location of the Azure Dragon.

But since the entity behind the binding of the Azure Dragon had already made its move, how could it possibly give them a chance?

Suddenly, two figures, one in green and one in red, appeared in the forest and launched a swift attack on the Azure Dragon.

Both of them wore dragon masks, making it impossible to discern their appearances or ages. However, judging from the curvaceous figure of the woman in the red robe, she was likely a female cultivator.

Like the other Qinglian Temple cultivators, the two were controlled by a person in blue robes who used chain magic artifacts to restrict the Qingjiao's movements and strength.

The female cultivator in red robes took on the main offensive role.

The magical weapon she wielded was a crimson-gold decapitation blade. With the first strike, it tore a huge wound in the Azure Dragon's body, almost severing it in two!

Such ferocious power sent chills down the spines of not only the Azure Dragon, but also the several Cloud State Purple Mansion cultivators who were rushing towards them.

The speed also slowed down involuntarily.

Unexpectedly, after nearly killing the Azure Dragon with a single strike, the red-robed female cultivator did not follow up with a second strike.

Instead, he held his sword aloft but did not draw it, hovering it above the azure dragon. The cultivator in blue then spoke in animal language and communicated with the azure dragon.

It seems that their goal was not to kill the Azure Dragon.

But just as the blue-robed cultivator and the blue dragon were communicating, another unexpected event occurred!

Or rather, this was not an accident, but rather a pre-planned scheme.

Suddenly, three cultivators from the Azure Lotus Temple, who had been waiting for a long time, took to the air and quickly arrived near the battlefield.

The appearance of these three people immediately caused Qingjiao and the two cultivators wearing dragon masks to change color and stop talking.

"Junior Brother Chen was right after all. You remnants of the Dragon Transformation Sect have indeed returned to cause trouble in my Jing Kingdom!"

In the sky, a white-haired Taoist priest in red robes coldly stared at the two people and the dragon opposite him, his words filled with anger.

The Dragon Transformation Sect?

Upon hearing the words of the red-robed Taoist, the Yunzhou Purple Mansion cultivators who had already arrived nearby were slightly taken aback.

Then, as if realizing something, Lu Jianqiu, the Supreme Elder of the Lu family of Mingjian Mountain, exclaimed with a drastic change in expression, "Wasn't the Dragon Transformation Sect wiped out more than eight hundred years ago? How can anyone still exist in this world!"

His tone was full of surprise, mixed with a hint of fear.

Upon hearing his words, the other cultivators who had not yet grasped the meaning of the three words "Dragon Transformation Sect" instantly understood.

Suddenly, the way the group looked at the two people wearing the dragon masks became strange.

Because these people didn't try to hide their conversation from others, many cultivators who were nearby also heard what they were saying.

Even some Foundation Establishment cultivators were completely baffled by these words, unable to understand what kind of riddle these Purple Mansion cultivators were talking about.

Because Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi were too far apart, they didn't hear the people's discussions in time.

But when the two people wearing dragon masks came out, Zhou Daoyi seemed to recognize them by their unique attire, and muttered, "It really is them."

"What? It really is them? Clan Chief, do you know those two elders?"

Zhou Chun looked at his clan leader with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of curiosity.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you after this is over!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head, showing no intention of satisfying Zhou Chun's thirst for knowledge right now.

Before Zhou Chun could ask any more questions, he grabbed her and said, "Come on, let's get a little closer."

Then he led Zhou Chun toward the new battlefield.

On the other side, after revealing the origins of the two cultivators wearing dragon masks...

The three Qinglian Temple cultivators quickly invited the three Yunzhou Zifu cultivators to help them deal with the two Hualong Sect cultivators.

Of course, "invitation" is just a polite way of saying it; it should actually be "recruitment."

At this moment, the three cultivators from the Purple Mansion of the Azure Lotus Temple had already used the sect's wartime conscription rights over its subordinate immortal cultivation families to conscript family cultivators to deal with powerful external enemies.

The three cultivators from Yunzhou Purple Mansion were also aware of the dark history of the Dragon Transformation Sect, and did not object to this recruitment.

Soon enough, the six Purple Mansion cultivators surrounded the two people and the dragon, preparing to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

This change, ironically, quickly led to a compromise between the Azure Dragon and the two Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators.

After a brief exchange of voices between the Azure Dragon and the blue-robed cultivator, the blue-robed cultivator retrieved the magical chains binding the Azure Dragon and even took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, which he then swallowed whole.

Then the two Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators and the Azure Dragon broke through in a certain direction.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The old Taoist priest in red robes with graying hair let out a sharp shout, raised his hand, and summoned a flaming collar magic weapon to strike the Azure Dragon.

At the same time, the other Purple Mansion cultivators also unleashed their signature magical artifacts and attacked the two people and the dragon to prevent them from breaking through.

The sky was soon filled with flashes of various colors, and a fierce battle ensued.
