Chapter 121: Chapter 94: Understanding Each Other, A Major Scene [Subscription Requested]
Zhou Daoyi arrived alone.
According to him, since he had arrived, there was no need for Zhou Chun and the others to stay in such a dangerous place anymore; they could all retreat.
As for the Dragon Blood Spirit Items that Zhou Chun had been yearning for, he expressed that he would keep an eye out for them and when the time came, Zhou Chun only had to make up for it with Spirit Coins.
But Zhou Chun had already been busy in Yunzhou for more than half a year, and now that the main event was about to start, how could he be willing to just leave like this?
Thus, after his earnest begging and revealing that he had reached the second level of "Xinjin Sword Qi", he was allowed by Zhou Daoyi to stay and watch the battle.
"You may stay to broaden your knowledge, but you must promise me that no matter what happens, don't get involved in this matter. Can you do that?"
Zhou Daoyi's eyes were solemn as he looked at Zhou Chun, his tone very serious.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun also replied with a serious face, "Clan Leader, rest assured, I know my own strength well and will definitely not do anything beyond my ability!"
"Then you should wear this hat. With it, the member of that mysterious force, shouldn't be able to find you again."
As he spoke, Zhou Daoyi patted his Storage Pouch at his waist and took out a hat with a black veil and handed it to Zhou Chun.
This hat was clearly a Magic Artifact; once worn, it would block external Divine Sense and gazes from prying, yet one's own gaze and Divine Sense would not be affected.
After Zhou Chun put on the hat and added an extra cotton garment to make himself look plumper, even those familiar with him would have trouble recognizing him before he spoke.
Afterwards, he followed by Zhou Daoyi's side, silently waiting for the main event to unfold.
This wait did not last long.
On the third day after Zhou Daoyi arrived at Flying Horse Mountain, five Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple appeared in the sky above Flying Horse Mountain, openly heading straight for the Flood Dragon Nest.
In addition, there were twelve Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple following behind these five Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators.
When Zhou Chun saw this scene from afar at the mountaintop, he took the opportunity to ask Zhou Daoyi beside him, "Clan Leader, I am puzzled by something. Why haven't any Golden Core Stage Cultivators come to slay the dragon when the Flood Dragons are causing such turmoil here?"
"It's because of an unspoken agreement between high-ranking cultivators of the Human Clan and high-ranking members of the Demon Clan!"
Zhou Daoyi sighed softly and immediately explained to Zhou Chun, "High-ranking Demon Beasts like Flood Dragons have vast and powerful clans, with countless strong Tier 3 and Tier 4 Demon Beasts, and not a small number of Tier 5 Great Demons."
"If any Golden Core Stage Cultivator dares to bully the weaker Flood Dragons, afterwards there would certainly be retaliation from Tier 5 Great Demons, which is not worth the loss!"
"Of course, the reverse is also true. If a Tier 4 Demon Beast dares to recklessly attack the power base of a Human Clan Cultivator, slaughtering Human Clan Cultivators outside its territory, then as soon as Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators learn of it, they can openly go and kill the Demon for its core!"
As he said this, seemingly worried that Zhou Chun would misunderstand and bring trouble upon himself, he looked at him with a stern tone and warned him:
"However, you also have to remember that this is just an unwritten agreement between them, and in many cases, as long as it doesn't blow up as big as the current situation, messages might not even reach the higher ranking Great Demons or Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators."
"Additionally, if you don't have a strong backing, even if you're bullied, there might not necessarily be someone willing to stand up for you!"
Is that so?
Zhou Chun nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this explanation seemed quite reasonable.
But his brows quickly furrowed again as he asked, "But Yunzhou is a Human Clan territory. The two Flood Dragons in Cangyun River are causing chaos, killing tens of thousands of mortals on both banks, doesn't that violate the rules?"
"Of course not!"
Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly and replied with a lamenting tone, "Let alone mortals, even if Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators like us are killed by Flood Dragons, it does not constitute a violation of the rules!"
"The so-called mutual agreement actually only applies to Golden Core Stage cultivators and above, as well as Tier 4 and above Demon Beasts."
There are such restrictions?
Zhou Chun frowned, unsure how to judge this matter.
He didn't know whether those high-ranking existences of the Human Clan and Demon Clan had reached this kind of agreement because they were equally matched and couldn't gain any more advantage, or simply because they didn't want to take on more responsibilities and trouble.
In any case, such restrictions were undoubtedly very unfriendly to lower-ranking cultivators.
"Let's go, we should also get closer and see what methods these Senior Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple have prepared to slay the dragon!"
Without waiting for Zhou Chun to contemplate any further, Zhou Daoyi soon spoke out his plan with a wave of his sleeve.
Then he led Zhou Chun towards the location of the Flood Dragon Nest.
They had only gotten halfway when they heard the noisy cries of Flood Dragons in their ears.
Boom boom boom!
Soon, deafening roars rose into the air over the distant river.
Along with that, lights from various Spells ascended.
Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi hurriedly sped up.
As they traveled a bit further, the situation from tens of miles away came clearly into view of Zhou Chun and himself.
On the river surface, the Dark Flood Dragon was surrounded by dark clouds, bravely fighting alone against five Purple Mansion Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple.
The same number of people, but the five Purple Mansion Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple, were naturally far superior to those local cultivators from Yunzhou.
