Chapter 543 Thunder Dragon King's Backhand [Subscribe]

"Imperial Immortal, your presence is a great honor to my humble family. I only regret that my family is poor and has nothing to offer you. I can only offer you the honey tea I produce myself. I am sorry for the neglect, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Inside the Zhou family's guest hall, Zhou Chun respectfully gave the seat at the head of the table to Master Tianjing, and personally brewed the Zhou family's best quality royal jelly tea and presented it to him.

Today, Master Tianjing was very considerate and actually picked up the tea and took a sip.

Then he put down the teacup and said calmly: "Young friend Zhou, don't be restrained. I came here with good intentions today, not to call you to task."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun became even more alert.

There is no way. The experiences over the years have reminded Zhou Chun many times that none of these Nascent Soul cultivators in his country are good people.

As for what foreign Nascent Soul cultivators are like, Zhou Chun has not come into contact with them yet, so it is difficult to say for the time being, but there is a high probability that they are birds of a feather!
Master Tianjing's attitude towards the Zhou family was not very good before, and now he suddenly said that he came with good intentions. Zhou Chun felt that this was sarcasm no matter how he listened to it.

Of course, he would not show it on his face, but just nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, I will listen to your teachings!"

This seemingly submissive look caused Master Tianjing to frown slightly.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for a thousand years, how could Master Tianjing not see the truth that he was submissive on the surface but alert in his heart.

But when it comes to things, it's not the actions that matter, but the intentions. Even though he saw this point, he didn't say much.

At the moment, he could only suppress his unhappiness and said calmly: "Regarding the appearance of the fifth-level thunder dragon, what do you think about it, Mr. Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately shouted indignantly, "The demon race has bullied our human race too much. Thanks to the intervention of all the seniors, I and my Zhou family were able to escape disaster. I and my Zhou family will never forget your great kindness!"

After saying this, he bowed deeply to Master Tianjing to express his gratitude.

Seeing this, Master Tianjing looked at him with a half-smile, then said slowly, "Really? Do you really think so?"

"Of course, what I just said is from the bottom of my heart, there is absolutely no falsehood!"

Zhou Chun replied in a firm tone.

"Then I will tell you, Mr. Zhou, that I, Yin Yue Zhenren and others have been waiting near the Zhou family for a long time. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"

When Tianjing Zhenren said this, he picked up the tea and took a sip, then looked at Zhou Chun with a smile, waiting for his answer.

What on earth does he want to do?
Zhou Chun lowered his head slightly, various thoughts flashing through his mind, and he was somewhat unsure of Master Tianjing's thoughts.

In the end, for the sake of safety, he replied calmly: "I, the junior, naturally want to thank all the seniors for their love and care. Thank you for showing up at the critical moment to save the Zhou family from danger!"

Hearing his answer, Master Tianjing seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and he immediately laughed and said, "Haha, in that case, I will assume that Brother Zhou really thinks so!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his hand and handed a fist-sized silver-white crystal to Zhou Chun. "This Mirror Return Secret Talisman was carefully refined by me. It can return a single magical attack to the opponent. Just consider it as a gift from me to establish a good relationship with you!"

Then, without caring whether Zhou Chun was willing to accept it or not, he just stood up and left.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly grabbed the silver-white crystal, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for the gift from the real person, and the junior respectfully presents the real person!"

Having said that, he personally escorted the man out of the mountain gate, and only returned inside after watching the man go away.

"How is it? What is the real purpose of Master Tianjing?"

When Zhou Chun returned to the mountain gate, Zhou Mingde came over and asked him with a worried look about the purpose of Tianjing Zhenren's visit.

"It's hard to tell what their intentions are, but they don't seem to have any ill intentions towards us!"

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and told him about the conversation he had just had with Master Tianjing.

After hearing his retelling, Zhou Mingde was also surprised and said, "From what he said, it seems that he is trying to sow discord between our Zhou family and the Moon Religion. But how can he benefit from sowing discord between our Zhou family and the Moon Religion? Could it be that he thinks that our Zhou family dares to betray the Moon Religion and join him?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's just trying to figure out what to do and planting some seeds first!"

Zhou Chun expressed his own opinion in a low voice, and then said calmly: "But no matter what he thinks in his heart, we just need to be firm in our beliefs and not be influenced by him!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately won Zhou Mingde's agreement, "Yes, no matter what he thinks, we will not get involved. This kind of matter involving the fight between Yuanying Zhenren is not something we can get involved in!"

After reaching a consensus, the two did not discuss the matter further.

Zhou Chun quickly asked, "Have you figured out the casualties in the family?"

"According to statistics, seventeen members of the clan who were in the Qi Refining Stage died due to the dragon roar of the fifth-level thunder dragon. Most of them were old, weak, or disabled. The rest who were below the Purple Mansion Stage all suffered internal and external injuries to varying degrees!"

When Zhou Mingde said this, he looked at Zhou Chun with a face full of relief and said, "Fortunately, Zhengchun, you had the foresight to move all the tribe members in the tribe's academy to Jiufengling. Most of the tribe members here have also experienced the tempering of the dragon's might in vain. Otherwise, the number of tribe members who died this time would have been several times higher!"

After hearing his answer, Zhou Chun's expression suddenly dimmed.

Then he quickly said, "Those members of the tribe who died were also killed by me. I will give double compensation to their relatives in my name!"

"No problem, I will ask Xinyi to do it."

Zhou Mingde agreed readily.

Then he asked with concern: "How is Baibai's injury? Does the family need to do anything for him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied: "Although the injury is a bit serious, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, it was caused by the same source of power, so it shouldn't be that difficult to cure!"

After that, he said with a serious face: "Let's not talk about this matter first. The death of the fifth-level thunder dragon here is likely to anger the dragon clan, and they will launch a beast tide to attack Jingguo again. The family must make a response plan in advance!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde's expression suddenly became serious, and he could not help but nodded and said, "Yes, Zhengchun, what you said makes sense. This matter is indeed the most important thing to pay attention to at the moment. It seems that we must immediately send someone to the Great Zhou Kingdom to call Fellow Daoist Lin back."

Next, the two of them held emergency consultations on how to deal with a possible beast tide.

In the next few days, many elders of the Zhou family set out from Tuyunling and headed for different destinations.

Some foundation-building monks were also assigned tasks to go to various markets to purchase supplies in large quantities.

Some Zhou family cultivators who mastered the skills of making elixirs, magic tools, and formations suddenly received family missions, asking them to devote themselves to making related talismans, elixirs, magic tools, and formations.

At the same time, those Zhou family cultivators who went to the battlefield and risked their lives to pick up the remains of the fifth-level thunder dragon also began to return to their family with their harvest one after another.

At that time, the body of the fifth-level thunder dragon was shattered by the self-explosion of its own demon pill, and the remaining broken bones, scales and blood were scattered over the land within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Some of the larger and easier to find ones were taken away by several Yuanying stage masters.

The remaining tiny fragments and hard-to-find items give low- and middle-level monks a chance to get a taste of the spoils.

Some of the Zhou family monks who returned found palm-sized pieces of scales, some found fingernail-sized pieces of bones, and some brought back stones, soil, and wood stained with dragon blood.

These things are too high-end in nature and cannot be used by mid- and low-level cultivators, so after bringing them back to the family, they chose to hand them over to the family in exchange for good deeds.

Although Zhou Chun asked his family to purchase these things, he did not take them too seriously.

He knew in his heart that it would be difficult for the Zhou family to make use of these things, and because these things were too broken, they were not worth exchanging with other Jindan stage cultivators.

If we collect them now, we can only wait and see if there is anyone willing to buy them in large quantities and sell them to others.

On this day, Zhou Chun, who was practicing in the cave, suddenly received a communication from Zhou Xinfu, a core member of the family, saying that he had a treasure he had just obtained on the battlefield to give to him.

This made him frown slightly, and he immediately released his spiritual sense to scan outside the cave.

Outside his cave, a thin young man in a green robe was walking back and forth. His face was full of anxiety, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the cave and came to the valley outside.

Then he waved his hand casually, and a hole appeared in the formation outside the valley, allowing the person to come in.

"Junior Zhou Xinfu pays homage to the clan leader."

After the thin young man entered the valley, he just glanced at Zhou Chun and then hurriedly lowered his head and bowed deeply.

"Tell me, what great treasure did you get that you had to come to see me in private!"

Zhou Chun casually called for a chair and sat down, then looked directly at the junior in front of him and asked about business matters.

According to his previous style of doing things, he would not meet the younger generations of the clan outside like this.

However, since bringing back the Spirit Eye Spring, Zhou Chun rarely met with cultivators from his clan in his cave. Even the elders of the clan had difficulty entering his cave.

However, as a junior, Zhou Xinfu naturally did not dare to comment on how his elders did things.

After hearing Zhou Chun's question, he hurriedly patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a shiny silver dragon tooth from it, and handed it to Zhou Chun.

He said respectfully, "Please look, Chief. This dragon tooth is a treasure that I found in a pond. Such a complete dragon tooth is definitely a rare magical material. I dare not keep it for myself, so I came here specially to present it to you, Chief!"

Ok?
Zhou Chun's eyes fixed, and he looked at the silver dragon tooth in Zhou Xinfu's hand with surprise.

Just as the person said, this silver dragon tooth is well preserved.

It was about five feet long, and slightly larger than a human calf at its widest point. There was no visible crack on the surface, as if it had just been pulled out of a dragon's mouth.

Such a complete dragon tooth, if it falls into the hands of a weapon refining master, can at least be used to refine a top-grade magic weapon. It is definitely the top-level monster material Zhou Chun has ever seen!
But it was precisely because this dragon tooth was too precious and in such good condition that Zhou Chun could not help but feel puzzled. The first doubt was that the fifth-level Thunder Dragon Demon Pill exploded, and the dragon's body was blown to pieces. How could it still have such a complete dragon tooth?
The second question is, how did such a complete dragon tooth escape the subsequent search by the Yuanying stage masters?

With doubt in his heart, Zhou Chun did not immediately reach out to take the dragon tooth. He just nodded slightly to Zhou Xinfu and said, "You are thoughtful. This kind of treasure is definitely not something you can afford with your cultivation level."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Come, sit down first and tell me how you got this thing!"

When saying this, Zhou Chun's mind was mostly on Zhou Xinfu, not letting go of the person or his reaction.

Zhou Xinfu was obviously stunned after hearing his words, then he looked at the dragon tooth in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put it aside, and replied respectfully: "Yes, junior obeys your command."

Then he talked about how he got the dragon tooth.

Basically, he started out by searching the battlefield for possible materials from dragons like everyone else. During that time, he also found some scattered dragon scales and dragon bones, but the harvest was not particularly outstanding.

Later, when searching by a mountain pond, he suddenly saw a flash of silver light in the pond, and then he found the dragon's tooth at the bottom of the pond.

From what he said, there was nothing particularly suspicious.

It's just pure luck!

But Zhou Chun did not rush to draw conclusions. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xinfu and asked, "I have said before that any spiritual material found by the clan members can be presented to the clan in exchange for good deeds for the clan. Why didn't you hand over this dragon tooth to Xinyi, but came to me privately?"

"This one……"

Zhou Xinfu's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly hesitated and did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's tone suddenly darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why? Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"

"Juniors don't dare!"

Zhou Xinfu hastily denied it, then lowered his head and said, "Patriarch, please forgive me. I came here privately to offer treasures. I did have selfish motives. I wanted to win your favor and get a reward!"

"Is that all?"

Zhou Chun looked at the junior in front of him, his tone neither sad nor happy.

"Yes, that's all."

Zhou Xinfu nodded repeatedly, his tone very firm.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, in this case, I will not pursue your little thoughts for the sake of your filial piety. You can go back and wait for notification on the specific reward."

"Thank you for your tolerance, Patriarch. I will take my leave now."

Zhou Xinfu's expression relaxed, and after thanking him, he turned around and left in a hurry.

After the man left, Zhou Chun looked at the dragon tooth that he had placed on the ground, and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

Am I really being too suspicious?
After thinking about it, he decided to be cautious.

So he immediately raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out the largest jade box, then picked up the dragon tooth and put it into the jade box, preparing to seal it up first and study it slowly when he had time later.

Unexpectedly, just when he closed the jade box and was about to put on the sealing talisman, the jade box suddenly exploded, and a silver light instantly shot towards him!

There is indeed a ghost!

But seeing the flash of silver-white lightning, Zhou Chun's figure instantly appeared in another place dozens of feet away.

However, after he realized something was wrong, he immediately activated the "Lightning Flash" magical power attached to his robes and flashed away from the spot.

At this moment, after he dodged this dangerous attack, his body suddenly flashed with golden and silver light, and he directly used the magical powers of "Qianyuan Jinxia" and "Taiyin Body Protection Fairy Clothes" in one breath.

However, he did not expect that the silver dragon fang that had failed in its sneak attack on him in mid-air did not continue to attack him, but instead changed direction and shot towards his cave in an instant!

This is... not good!!

As if he had thought of something, Zhou Chun's face changed, and he hurriedly warned Lei Jiao Baibai who was still recuperating in the cave. At the same time, he quickly activated the formation in the cave to intercept the silver dragon fang.

However, in front of the sharp edge of the silver dragon's fangs, these formations were almost as good as paper, and the hard stones inside his cave were also easily pierced through.

Fortunately, this is his cave and his home after all.

Just when the silver dragon fang was about to reach the secret room where Lei Jiao Baibai was recuperating, a yellow light suddenly enveloped Lei Jiao Baibai and took it directly into the underground.

However, it was Shitou, a golden-armored mountain turtle who was also sleeping and practicing below the cave. After receiving instructions from his master, he promptly used the earth escape technique and took the thunder dragon into the underground.

However, even so, the silver dragon fang did not give up.

It seemed that it had some way to lock onto the Thunder Dragon Baibai that had escaped underground, and it turned directly downwards, easily piercing the mountain below like a sharp sword, and bit tightly onto the Thunder Dragon Baibai and the Golden-armored Mountain Turtle Shitou that were escaping in front of it.

After learning about this through the spiritual connection between him and his spiritual pet, Zhou Chun first took a deep breath, then opened his mouth and spit out the [Moon Toad Orb], allowing the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Stone to bring the Thunder Dragon to him.

A moment later, a yellow light surged on the ground, and the golden-armored mountain turtle Stone appeared more than ten feet away from Zhou Chun, carrying the injured Thunder Dragon.

Zhou Chun quickly slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and put both of them into it.

Just as Zhou Chun finished doing all this, a silver lightning bolt broke through the ground and shot straight towards his cave.

It’s you who’s waiting!
Zhou Chun's expression remained unchanged as he urged the white gem on his head, and a white cold light collided with the silver lightning several feet in front of him.

However, this time, the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" finally met its match.

When the white cold light collided with the silver lightning, the lightning scattered all at once, revealing the true form of the silver dragon fang.

But just when the silver dragon fang was about to be frozen, a several-foot-long silver lightning dragon suddenly emerged from the dragon fang, instantly dispersing the white cold light!

However, this blow seemed to have caused great damage to the silver thunder dragon, and its size shrank visibly to the naked eye.

Then he was seen moving, instantly breaking away from the silver dragon tooth and suddenly pouncing towards Zhou Chun.

This scene made Zhou Chun's scalp tingle, and he hurriedly urged the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] to spew out a thick golden beam of light to bombard the silver thunder dragon.

But what made his face change drastically was that the silver thunder dragon just flashed its body and easily dodged the attack of the golden light column, and continued to pounce on him with its target unchanged.

At this point it was too late for him to resort to other means and he could only use all of his strength to activate the protective magical power [Qian Yuan Jin Xia], hoping to be able to block the silver thunder dragon with both internal and external protection.

But considering the identity of this silver thunder dragon, he really didn't have any confidence in this!

At this moment, something happened that surprised Zhou Chun greatly.

But he saw a flash of white light on the [Moon Toad Orb] above his head, and without his control or urging, a white toad suddenly flew out.

The white toad was not big, less than seven feet long.

After it came out of the white gem, it immediately pounced on the silver thunder dragon.

Then, a toad and a dragon were seen fighting fiercely in mid-air. Their speed was so fast that the sky was filled with their afterimages. Even Zhou Chun, a Jindan-stage cultivator, found it difficult to see the details of the fight between the two.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t see clearly, as long as you know what happened.

After a brief moment of surprise, Zhou Chun quickly came to his senses and retreated dozens of feet, then poured all of his magic power into the [Moon Toad Orb].

He didn't know if this would work, but it might be the only way he could help the white toad at the moment.

Perhaps it was really Zhou Chun's actions that worked. After a fierce fight of dozens of breaths, the white toad suddenly let out a roar that sounded like a bull or a frog. A "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" that was much stronger than Zhou Chun's own light suddenly burst out from the [Moon Toad Orb] and hit the silver thunder dragon directly.

This time, the silver thunder dragon not only failed to defeat the white cold light, but instead let out a miserable howl and was frozen into an ice sculpture on the spot.

After freezing the silver thunder dragon, the white toad quickly returned to the [Moon Toad Orb] and did not communicate with Zhou Chun at all.

It seemed that what it had just done was just the procedural behavior of the spiritual treasure to protect its master.

But Zhou Chun didn't have time to think about these things at this moment.

He sensed the [Moon Toad Orb] briefly, and after finding nothing unusual, he took it back into his body.

Then, looking at the silver thunder dragon that was frozen in ice, he couldn't help but hesitate and pondered.

It was obvious that this silver thunder dragon was the soul of the fifth-level thunder dragon whose demon pill had previously exploded.

No one knew what method the other party had used to deceive those Yuanying stage masters. When he self-destructed his demon pill, he had already separated his demon soul and spirit and hid it in a specially refined dragon tooth.

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity when the dragon's body was blown to pieces, he secretly controlled Long Ya to avoid the search of the Yuanying stage immortals. It was not until he found the figure of Zhou family cultivator Zhou Xinfu that he deliberately revealed the strange phenomenon and was picked up by him.

The reason why Zhou Xinfu did not hand over the dragon tooth to Zhou Xinyi as per the rules after picking it up, but came directly to present it to Zhou Chun, was obviously the result of his consciousness being deliberately guided by the demon spirit of the thunder dragon.

Then it becomes clear why the Thunder Dragon Demon Soul did this. After losing its physical body and demon pill, its only choice to continue to survive is to possess another body and reincarnate.

It just so happened that the Zhou family had a fourth-order thunder dragon whose bloodline qualifications were perfectly matched with the opponent's, and it was seriously injured by it!
