Chapter 234: Beast tide is coming, Nascent Soul appears
The dragon clan joins the war!
When Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun learned the news, their expressions changed drastically and they were horrified.
This is undoubtedly what they, or all the Jingguo monks, are worried about.
It was because they were worried that the Jiaolong clan in Longyuanze would join the war that the three sects of Jingguo adhered to the intention of a quick victory and only sought to kill the effective forces of Hualong Sect with one force, not for the purpose of occupying the territory.
Unexpectedly, just over twenty days have passed, and the Jiaolong clan has quickly decided to join the war!
Now things are going big!
Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at each other, and then saw Zhou Chun open his mouth and ask: "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you sure that the beast tide is divided into two waves? Are you sure that there is another wave of beasts heading towards Jingguo?"
"I'm sure, this is the exact information my godmother got from my own research!"
Lin Wan'er nodded heavily, confirming the authenticity of the news.
Now, the two Zhou family members no longer have any luck.
Zhou Mingde immediately asked: "What do fellow Taoist Lin Hongyu have in mind? Did she explain anything else?"
When Lin Wan'er heard this, she immediately replied with a solemn expression: "My godmother said that she would find a way to find the location of the red fire dragon, and then asked Senior Zhou to help contact some golden elixir-level monks to kill the dragon!"
She also knew Lin Hongyu's plan, so at this moment, both her expression and tone were extremely serious.
it is as expected!
Zhou Mingde sighed in his heart, then nodded and said: "Zhou understands, Fellow Daoist Lin, please tell Fellow Daoist Lin Hongyu that as long as she can determine the location of the red fire dragon, and as long as there is a suitable opportunity to kill the dragon, Zhou
I will definitely do my best to help her!"
Regardless of whether it can be fulfilled or not, this promise must still be made.
Of course, Lin Wan'er didn't know what he was really thinking. After seeing him make a promise, she breathed a sigh of relief and her face became much more relaxed.
He immediately responded respectfully: "This junior will definitely convey Senior Zhou's words to my godmother!"
Then he left on his own.
After she retreated and left, Zhou Chun suddenly said: "This woman is quite capable. She was able to go in and out of the camp many times. It seems that Lin Hongyu is also connected with other forces besides our Zhou family!"
"Cunning Rabbit Sanku, since that woman Lin Hongyu dares to cooperate with our Zhou family, she naturally dares to cooperate with others."
Zhou Mingde nodded and agreed with Zhou Chun's statement.
Then he frowned and said in a deep voice: "The situation is very bad now. The participation of the Jiaolong clan may completely change the outcome of the war. The impact of the beast tide on Jingguo may also put the monks left behind in the family in danger!
"
"You mean to report the beast tide news to the superiors immediately?"
Zhou Chun looked stunned, but he could hear the deeper meaning of Zhou Mingde's words.
"I do have this idea, but I don't want to expose the relationship between our Zhou family and Lin Hongyu, but I am in a dilemma!"
Zhou Mingde nodded slightly and expressed his plan with an embarrassed look on his face.
This is not because he wants to make meritorious service and receive awards, but purely for his own safety and the overall situation.
Under the current circumstances, letting Liu Yiping and other Jindan monks know about the Jiaolong clan's participation in the war earlier would allow them to make countermeasures earlier.
Otherwise, if we wait until the beast tide really reaches the White Dragon Branch and discover this, it will be too late!
But if you just report it like this, although you may save many people, it will also plant a thunder for the Zhou family that can explode at any time.
Perhaps considering his role in reporting the news at this time, Liu Yiping will not pursue the collusion between the Zhou family and Lin Hongyu for the time being.
But after the war is over, it is difficult to say that Qinglian Temple will not settle accounts with the Zhou family.
So Zhou Mingde does feel very embarrassed now.
Zhou Chun also knew this in his heart, so after listening to his words, he also looked thoughtful.
After pondering like this for a while, Zhou Chun suddenly raised his head thoughtfully and said, "Why don't you tell the messenger the news?"
The credit goes to Senior Lu Ran? It means that Senior Lu discovered the information about the strange movements of the monsters, thus investigated and learned about the beast tide, and then used the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman to contact us!"
"As long as we can remind Senior Liu and others in time, at this time, they won't have the heart to investigate the truth or falsehood of this matter!"
This can be regarded as the lesser of two powers harming each other.
Compared to colluding with Hualong Sect protector Lin Hongyu to assassinate monks from the Jiang family's Zifu, making friends and trading with Lu Ran, a foreigner who had already taken away the body of the scaled frog, was undoubtedly a much lighter crime.
Moreover, this time the three sects were able to make up their minds to conquer the Dragon Sect in the south, Lu Ran was undoubtedly one of the major contributors.
Whether the Zhou family is committing a crime by doing business with him or not is a matter of debate.
At least those at Qinglian Temple must know about this little trick of the Zhou family!
After all, there was no cover-up when the Zhou family placed an order to purchase weapons and elixirs in Hongyafang City, and there were traces of the various water treasures for sale.
If we can take advantage of this opportunity to "legalize" the trade between the Zhou family and Lu Ran, it would be a good thing for the Zhou family.
"Well, this is a feasible strategy."
Zhou Mingde's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but murmured: "Although we have never bought the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman, we can definitely say that this thing is a heritage passed down by the family, or it can be said that it is a treasure owned by fellow Taoist Lu Ran.
It’s unlikely that anyone will pursue these details!”
Having said this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted: "And in this way, if you want to help Lin Hongyu kill the red fire dragon, maybe you can do it in the name of fellow Taoist Lu Ran.
After all, he used to be the protector of the Red Dragon Hall!"
It is not difficult to tell from his tone and demeanor that he has completely agreed with Zhou Chun's strategy.
At this time, Zhou Chun also gave a timely reminder: "This matter might as well be relayed to Senior Liu through Senior Li's mouth!"
"Masachun, you are right. Telling this matter through Senior Li will be beneficial to both of our families."
Zhou Mingde nodded repeatedly, and Zhou Chun's reminder was easy to understand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Jingxuan had also been kind to the Zhou family in escorting him before, so repaying him by sending him a message can be regarded as a reciprocal of courtesy.
Moreover, having him, a golden elixir-level monk, relay the news about the beast tide would undoubtedly attract Liu Yiping's attention.
After discussing some details, Zhou Mingde immediately went to visit the Li family's residence.
Li Jingxuan was seizing the time to meditate to recover his mana and could not be disturbed easily.
However, at Zhou Mingde's solemn request, the monks from the Li family's Zifu still passed on the news.
When Li Jingxuan met Zhou Mingde and learned of his purpose, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Then he hurriedly took Zhou Mingde to meet Liu Yiping.
Under the leadership of Li Jingxuan, a Jindan monk, Zhou Mingde soon met the awakened Liu Yiping.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, come and tell Friend Dao Liu what happened!"
In the stone hall, after Li Jingxuan met Liu Yiping, he didn't say much nonsense and directly asked Zhou Mingde to explain the matter.
"Yes, junior, I obey."
Zhou Mingde responded, saluted Liu Yiping again, and then told what happened that he and Zhou Chun made up together.
Sure enough, after hearing that the Hualong Sect had gained the support of the Jiaolong clan and launched a wave of beasts to invade the White Dragon sub-altar and the Jingguo mainland, Liu Yiping's expression changed drastically in shock.
His expression changed greatly, his eyes widened, he looked at Zhou Mingde with sharp eyes and said sternly: "Are you serious about what you said? Do you know what the consequences will be if you lie about this?"
As he spoke, the coercive aura of the late-stage Jindan monk was fully unleashed, which instantly made Zhou Mingde tremble and almost fall to his knees with his legs weak.
And being stared at by his sharp eyes, Zhou Mingde felt that his brain was frozen and he couldn't think of anything at all.
He could only say in a trembling voice: "Senior, senior clearly understood, late, junior just received this
I only felt that it was of great importance so I came to report this news to my seniors. Whether it is true or not, my juniors cannot completely guarantee it!"
He knew in his heart that although Lin Wan'er swore that the news was absolutely true, he could never really say that in front of Liu Yiping.
Otherwise, if there is a lie, not only will he be unable to bear the consequences, but the Zhou family will also be implicated.
So he would rather not take the credit than take the risk.
After hearing his answer, Liu Yiping looked at him deeply for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "Liu knows, Liu will invite Taoist Fellows Jin and Qingsu to discuss this matter!"
After saying that, he called Jin Chixuan and Taoist Sister Qingsu over and informed them about the beast tide.
Sure enough, after suddenly hearing about the beast tide, Jin Chixuan and Taoist Priest Qingsu were also shocked and stunned by the news.
At the same time, Taoist Aunt Qingsu, as the great elder of Qinglian Temple, knew the source of the information about Hualong Sect feeding humans to dragons, and knew that a special person like Lu Ran did exist.
Therefore, after the three of them had some discussions, Taoist Aunt Qingsu decided to personally investigate the beast tide, and Liu Yiping had to be prepared to retreat at any time.
Time waits for no one. After the three people formulated the plan, they immediately took action.
As for Zhou Mingde, as he expected, Liu Yiping had no time to dig into the details at the moment, so he just asked him to go back and wait for news.
After he returned to his residence, he immediately took the time to meditate and recover.
Whether fighting or escaping next, it is not expected to go too smoothly. There will definitely be a fierce battle to be fought, and he must keep himself in good condition.
After half a day passed like this, Aunt Qingsu, who went out to investigate the situation, finally came back.
"The outbreak of beast tide is real!"
"After Pindao traveled two to three thousand miles eastward, he discovered a tide of beasts coming this way. There were no less than tens of thousands of monsters among them, and there were even fourth-order dragons and other fourth-order monsters driving the tide forward!
"
"According to Pindao's observation, the beast tide will arrive here in at most two days. By then, the number of monster beasts in the beast tide may exceed 50,000!"
In the stone hall, Taoist Aunt Qingsu, who had returned from the investigation, looked at Liu Yiping and Jin Chixuan and told the results of her investigation in a heavy tone.
This result undoubtedly confirmed Zhou Mingde's intelligence, and also caused the expressions of Liu Yiping and Jin Chixuan to change drastically.
"Fellow Taoist Qingsu, do you know how many fourth-level monsters there are in the beast tide?"
After Liu Yiping's expression changed, he quickly asked the key.
Taoist Aunt Qingsu heard what he said and immediately replied: "From what Pindao has observed, there are two fourth-level dragons in the beast tide, and there are also five other fourth-level monsters. Will there be more in the future?"
There are more, even I don’t know!"
After the words fell, Liu Yiping and Jin Chixuan both looked relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Liu Yiping quickly expressed his own opinion and said: "It seems that this wave of beasts is just to save the White Dragon faction's rebels from the Hualong Sect. The real main force of the beasts may have gone to the country!
"
His tone was very low, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.
The other two people also felt the same as him.
Although it is a good thing for them that the main force of the beast tide has not come this way, it is a huge bad thing for the mainland.
You must know that the last time Jingguo was hit by a large-scale beast tide, it was three or four hundred years ago.
"A large wave of monsters cannot be caused by a sudden outbreak. At least there must be at least five level monsters involved in it to trigger it!"
"If the main force of the beast tide is really heading towards the country, then this must be a long-planned plan of the Hualong Cult. At least they had this plan a long time ago!"
After a long silence, Jin Chixuan also expressed his opinion with a serious face.
They have all experienced the beast tide three to four hundred years ago, and they know very well what conditions are needed to trigger such a large-scale beast tide.
At this time, Taoist Aunt Qingsu looked at the two of them and asked, "Then let's take the next step."
What should we do? Should we continue to fight, or should we immediately withdraw our troops and return home to resist the beast tide?"
Hearing her words, Jin Chixuan immediately said: "I'd better ask the ancestors for instructions on this. I'm afraid we don't have the power to decide this matter!"
Liu Yiping opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it out, so he acquiesced to this method.
When Taoist Aunt Qingsu saw this, she immediately looked at Liu Yiping and said, "Then please, fellow Taoist Liu, contact Patriarch Yinyue of your sect!"
"Okay, Liu will contact Ancestor now!"
Liu Yiping nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve, he presented a silver-white mirror.
Then he made a magic spell with both hands and pointed it at the precious mirror, and the precious mirror began to rotate in mid-air.
After dozens of breaths passed like this, a silver light flashed on the treasure mirror, and the face of a silver-haired old man with crane-haired childish face suddenly appeared.
After the face of the silver-haired old man appeared, his eyes swept across the three people in the stone hall, then fell on Liu Yiping, and then said in an indifferent tone: "Tell me, why are you contacting me?"
"My dear ancestor, I dare to disturb my ancestor because I have an urgent military intelligence report."
Liu Yiping bowed respectfully to the silver-haired old man in the mirror, and then told him about the outbreak of the beast tide.
At the end of the sentence, he lowered his head deeply and said: "Now whether to fight or withdraw, we dare not make any independent decisions. We can only respectfully ask our ancestors for instructions!"
