Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Zhong Lingxin added, "Also, to prevent the giant python from wandering around, we must act in unison this time and not give it the chance to escape to other river bends."

Everyone nodded.

Because Zhong Lingxin had been strategizing for so long, she took on the role of the overall commander in this water-blasting and python-startling operation.

Zhong Lingxin smiled and pulled out three small flags: "To prevent the explosions from being too loud and affecting our communication, let's use these flags as signals. When the yellow flag appears, everyone get ready; when the green flag appears, everyone open fire; when the red flag appears, it means we've found the giant python. The direction the red flag points is where the giant python is. What do you all think?"

Everyone laughed.

This is truly an excellent method for disciples below the Foundation Establishment level to work together against the enemy.

Hua Qinglian smiled and said, "The higher you stand, the farther you can see, making it easier for you to spot the little flag. Junior Brother Wu hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so how about I volunteer to take the flag?"

Ye Mingyang had a very good impression of Hua Qinglian and quickly nodded in agreement.

The disciples from other sects and associations naturally had no objections, seeing that Lingyun Sect didn't care about losing one more fighter against the giant python.

Soon, all the sects and associations were in place. Zhong Lingxin checked them one by one to make sure the communication was correct before she arrived at the middle of the Jade Dragon River.

Hua Qinglian, dressed in flowing white robes, stood in mid-air, riding her sword, and waved a small yellow flag in her hand.

All the disciples raised their hands; those who had explosive talismans took them out, and those who didn't drew out their magic weapons, all aiming at the deep pit in front of them.

As Hua Qinglian waved the small green flag in her hand, a huge explosion resounded along the Yulong River, lasting for a long time.

Along the entire Yulong River, towering sprays of water rose into the sky, shimmering with various colors under the sunlight.

Zhong Lingxin had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of thousands of water splashes. She ran quickly and patrolled the riverbank, especially the river bends where she thought the giant python was most likely to lurk.

Just as Zhong Lingxin was running around busily, she suddenly felt herself being locked onto by a chilling killing intent.

Without thinking, she flung the explosive talisman she was holding behind her.

With a deafening roar, all the disciples who were attacking the deep bay at the bottom of the river were jolted to their feet and looked in the direction of the sound.

Before everyone's eyes, a huge figure, covered in blood, tumbled and was thrown into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

A hundred feet in front of the enormous figure, a small figure, also covered in blood, was thrown into the air and then smashed to the ground.

This was Zhong Lingxin using an explosive talisman to injure the giant python. At the same time, because they were too close, she was also injured by her own explosive talisman.

It turned out that after the giant python ate several cultivators who went to the secret realm for training, it also obtained the pills from these cultivators. It had transformed from a python into a one-horned dragon for some unknown reason.

The unicorn was extremely depressed. It didn't know if it could transform into a dragon since it only had one horn.

Thinking that it had advanced by consuming cultivators and pills, it pinned its hopes for transforming into a dragon on consuming more cultivators and pills.

These days, it knows the monks have been looking for it.

It carefully slithered through the various river bends, avoiding search after search. It thought that if the monks couldn't find it, they would assume it was gone.

Moreover, it had heard monks make similar claims.

Just as it was secretly delighted, thinking that its scheme was about to succeed, the thin young male cultivator did not let up and repeatedly used his divine sense to probe it, almost detecting it several times.

Now, it sees the slender young man transformed into the commander-in-chief of the attack against it.

How could it possibly tolerate this!

Since it's bound to be exposed eventually, let's first devour this little male cultivator who forced it to expose itself.

Based on its years of experience surviving in the Jade Dragon River, this thin young male cultivator should be a rogue cultivator, a rogue cultivator with exceptional talent and extremely high spiritual awareness.

It never dreamed that the skinny young male cultivator it thought it could swallow whole would actually possess such a powerful explosive talisman.

When the red light of the Explosion Talisman flashed in the thin young male cultivator's hand, it knew something was wrong.

It thought that its speed would allow it to evade the attack.

Little did they know that the slender young male cultivator possessed extraordinary strength; the explosive talisman struck him directly.

It dodged the dragon's head, but not its neck. A huge hole was blown into its neck, and the pain made it lose its balance. It was thrown high into the air by the giant wave of the exploding talisman and then slammed heavily to the ground.

The ground was smashed into a deep crater.

The unicorn knew things were going badly; it might lose its life here.

It used all its strength to try to turn itself over, but after a long time, it was still upside down.

Hua Qinglian, who was waving the flag, was standing in mid-air and had the clearest view, so she reacted the fastest.

She let out a sharp cry, raised her hand, and hurled an explosive talisman at the unicorn dragon that was still trying to turn over and coil up.

The unicorn dragon was already severely injured, and this explosion caused its tail to thrash wildly.

Seeing this, Hua Qinglian stopped waving the red flag and instead unleashed another explosive talisman.

She desperately wanted to kill the unicorn dragon as soon as possible, before everyone arrived.

In this way, she can put the unicorn dragon into her storage ring and keep it all to herself.

She believed that as long as she took away the unicorn dragon, all the disciples of the Lingyun Sect would remember her, and the dragon's blood, skin, and flesh would all belong to her.

And she could also boast that she killed a unicorn dragon when she had just established her foundation.

She will be a genius girl in the entire Immortal Spirit Continent.

Not far away, Zhong Lingxin, who had crashed heavily to the ground, naturally saw through Hua Qinglian's little scheme.

But she was powerless to stop it, and before she could even swallow a healing pill, she fainted.

The disciples on the riverbank, all being shrewd individuals, immediately guessed Hua Qinglian's intentions.

The disciples from the nearby Zixia Sect and Chaoyuan Sect arrived first.

They all threw explosive talismans at the unicorn dragon in the deep pit, and intentionally or unintentionally blocked Hua Qinglian's path.

Seeing this, Hua Qinglian quickly changed her strategy, flew towards Zhong Lingxin, and fed her a healing pill. She kept anxiously calling out, "Junior Brother Wu, Junior Brother Wu, wake up, wake up!"

By the time everyone arrived, the unicorn dragon had been blown to pieces, and even its inner core had been cracked.

Only that single horn was barely attached to the dragon's head.

The disciples who arrived later were unaware of what had happened. They only saw Hua Qinglian with tears in her eyes, gently tending to the unconscious Wu Huan.

They were already attracted by Hua Qinglian's fresh and refined appearance, and now that they saw her feeding three healing pills to the unconscious Wu Huan, they all praised her for being beautiful and kind-hearted.

With tears streaming down her face, Hua Qinglian said to everyone, "Junior Brother Wu was injured by the giant python. He was injured for us, and I... I am heartbroken. I wanted to avenge Junior Brother Wu, but thankfully, all the senior brothers and sisters arrived quickly!"

The disciples of the Zixia Sect and Chaoyuan Sect who were at the forefront knew what was going on, and they all smiled faintly and remained silent.
