Chapter 219 Everything is calculated [Subscribe]

"This time, I am really grateful for the help from Fellow Daoist Lu. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of mess this beast would have made for my Zhou family!"

In the wilderness, Zhou Mingde, who arrived a step late, took a look at the corpse on the ground. The first thing he did was to thank Lu Ran who came from afar to help him.

This attitude made Lu Ran extremely satisfied.

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is too polite. I would like to thank the Zhou family for sharing the underground waterway, which allows me to have the opportunity to return to the human race's territory and take a look at it in this lifetime!"

To be honest, he was also quite surprised when he learned about the existence of the underground sewer from Zhou Daoyi.

Although he had previously suspected that the Zhou family had some secret passage to safely enter and exit the wilderness, he never expected it to be such an underground sewer.

And he naturally understood how important such an underground waterway was to a cultivation family like the Zhou family.

So he agreed to help without any hesitation, and then went with Zhou Daoyi to personally experience the underground journey.

"It would be a pity to just take a look. If you want, you can come over here anytime. Our Zhou family will make relevant arrangements to ensure that you can enjoy human life safely and comfortably!"

Zhou Mingde smiled slightly and said something that made Lu Ran very satisfied.

He laughed without trying to hide it and said, "Haha, then I might have to nag and bother Fellow Daoist Zhou a lot in the future."

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Zhou Mingde nodded, and then began to deal with the battlefield.

Killing the guardian of the Hualong Sect is a great achievement. Now that the Zhou family has been exposed to the Hualong Sect's sight, there is no need to deny this achievement.

However, the existence of Lu Ran and Qing Jiao cannot be exposed.

So Zhou Mingde had to wipe out the aura of Lu Ran and Qing Jiao at this time, and also wipe out the aura of the two on the body of the Black Dragon Guardian.

Fortunately, the one who killed the Black Dragon Guardian in the end was the Fire God Jackal, so the injury was completely justified.

As for the wound on the back of the corpse caused by the "Red Dragon Dagger", it can also be destroyed a second time, making it impossible to see the specific situation.

In short, the cause of death of this Black Dragon Guardian was that he was besieged by Zhou Mingde and the Fire God Jackal!
How the Zhou family killed him is the Zhou family's secret.

Even though Qinglian Temple was curious about this, they would not go to great lengths to get to the bottom of it since they could not obtain more information from the corpse.

After all, which immortal cultivation family doesn’t have any secret methods?
When Zhou Mingde first fought against cultivators of the same level in the Lanzhou cultivation world, he used an extremely rare [Heavenly Thunder Scroll] to severely injure a late Purple Mansion cultivator!

After dealing with the battlefield, Zhou Mingde said softly, "Okay, the battlefield has been dealt with almost completely. Next, I will take this corpse to Qinglian Temple to report my merits and ask for rewards. I will not entertain Daoist Fellow Lu for now. If Daoist Fellow wants to move around, you can let Daoyi follow you and lead the way."

Hearing his words, Lu Ran immediately waved his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. If you have something to do, just go and do it first. Don't worry about me."

Then the three members of the Zhou family separated.

Let’s not talk about how Zhou Chun handled family affairs after returning to the family’s mountain gate, nor how Zhou Daoyi took Lu Ran to travel in the human world.

However, after Zhou Mingde collected the body and relics of the Black Dragon Guardian, he took the Fire God Jackal and went straight to the Qinglian Temple.

He was supposed to set off for Qinglian Temple in a few days, but now he just set off early.

Not long after, Zhou Mingde arrived outside the gate of Qinglian Temple.

At this time, Taoist Mingxia was still in seclusion to break through to the late stage of Purple Mansion, so Zhou Mingde directly applied to meet the abbot of Qingweizi Temple.

Because he had visited Qinglian Temple frequently in the past two years, the disciples in charge of welcoming guests knew that he was an honored guest of the sect and quickly informed him.

After waiting for a short time, Zhou Mingde was able to enter the main hall of Qinglian Temple.

"Junior Zhou Mingde, greets senior temple master!"

After entering the master's hall, Zhou Mingde immediately bowed deeply to Qing Weizi who was sitting cross-legged at the top.

Seeing this, Qing Weizi gently waved the whisk in his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. I wonder what is the important matter that brings you to visit today?"

"In reply to your words, I came to visit you today for two main purposes. One is that I had an appointment with the Jiang family of Lingzhou to reach a reconciliation between the two families under the witness of the master!"

"The second reason is that I came here to report to Senior Master that my Zhou family's deputy patriarch, Zhou Zhengchun, was attacked and killed by the guardian of the Hualong Sect a few days ago!"

As Zhou Mingde spoke, he told the story of how Zhou Chun was suddenly attacked by the Black Dragon Guardian of the Hualong Sect, and how he fought back and killed the Black Dragon Guardian.

After saying that, he slapped the storage bag on his waist and took out the body of the Black Dragon Guardian.

"The corpse of that fellow is right here, please have a look, Master!"

The corpse on the ground had already turned cold, but the residual breath of the Purple Mansion Stage cultivator was still there.

With Qing Weizi's keen eyesight, she could easily see traces of the "Secret of Transforming into a Dragon" that had been cultivated to a high level on the corpse.

He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the body of a guardian of the Hualong Sect!"

After saying that, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "But why would this Hualong Sect guardian suddenly attack a cultivator like Zhou Xiaoyou who is in the early stage of foundation building?"

Zhou Mingde had expected him to ask this question, and immediately replied, "Master, please be wise. When this beast attacked Zhengchun, after seeing Zhengchun use the third-grade superior defense talisman that Fellow Daoist Mingxia had given him, he accidentally let it slip and asked Zhengchun if the talisman was a reward for his undercover work in the Hualong Sect."

"So this junior and Zhengchun both think that he is here for revenge. It must be because Zhengchun performed too well at the Hundred Clans Conference and attracted too much attention, so the spies planted by the Hualong Sect passed the news back to the Hualong Sect, thus letting the Hualong Sect know Zhengchun's origins!"

This speculation is reasonable and completely true.

Qing Weizi also knew that the Hualong Sect had put Zhou Chun's name on the list.

Therefore, after listening to Zhou Mingde's words, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou's speculation is reasonable. I will have someone confirm this matter."

After saying that, he looked at the already cold corpse on the ground and pondered for a while, then said: "No matter what, it is a fact that the Zhou family killed a guardian of the Hualong Sect, and it is also a great achievement. I will give your Zhou family a reward at my discretion."

Having said this, he looked deeply at Zhou Mingde and warned: "But Brother Zhou, you must also warn Brother Zhou after you go back, and tell him not to go out easily in the future, so as not to ruin our sect's affairs because of his temporary loss of virginity!" "Yes, I will obey the master's order!"

Zhou Mingde responded respectfully, then left the master's hall first.

After he left, Qing Weizi looked at the body left in the hall, strode forward and performed a detailed autopsy on it.

But because the corpse had been carefully handled by Zhou Mingde, he could not see any specific useful information. In the end, he could only shake his head and casually ignited a ball of flame to burn it to ashes.

As for the rewards that should be given to the Zhou family, he would naturally give them out later as appropriate, but there was no need to give them out immediately.

After Zhou Mingde left the master's hall, he did not leave the Qinglian Temple's mountain gate. He directly rented a room in the training area inside the Qinglian Temple's mountain gate and lived there for a while.

In theory, he was naturally waiting for the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Jiang family to come and reach a reconciliation agreement with him.

But in fact, he knew very well that the Jiang family's mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator would definitely not be able to arrive.

Sure enough, Zhou Mingde had stayed in Qinglian Temple for about seven days when Qing Weizi suddenly sent someone to tell him that the Jiang family's mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator had been ambushed and killed by a powerful enemy halfway after leaving the family, and now his life or death was in danger, so he could no longer come to reach a reconciliation agreement between the two families with him.

After learning about this, Zhou Mingde's eyes suddenly showed a look of great astonishment.

Soon, as if he had thought of something, he looked at the messenger with a look of joy and asked, "Daoyou, do you know who ambushed and killed Daoyou Jiang? Could it be an enemy that the Jiang family had offended before?"

Hearing his question, the disciple of Qinglian Temple who was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I just came here to pass on the message to you, Senior, following the order of the Temple Master."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde nodded and said, "I understand. I'd like to ask you to convey a message to the senior master of the temple about the reconciliation with the Jiang family. I suddenly remembered that there are still some details to be discussed. I need to go back to my family and discuss it carefully with the clansmen first. I won't bother you here for now!"

After saying this, he left the Qinglian Temple gate with a happy look on his face, and rushed back to his family's gate with a beaming look on his face, like a general who had won a battle.

This whole scene was seen by Qing Weizi who was secretly observing with her spiritual sense.

So when the disciple who sent the message was on his way back, he also frowned slightly and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Looking at his expression, he doesn't look like he's faking it. It seems that I've indeed been worrying too much!"

It turned out that he had already learned the detailed information at this time, and knew that the person who ambushed the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator of the Jiang family was a red dragon guardian of the Hualong Sect.

After he learned about this, he naturally suspected Zhou Mingde and the Zhou family first, based on the idea that whoever benefits the most is suspicious.

After all, if he hadn't come to Qinglian Temple to keep an appointment, the Jiang family's mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator would not have left the family gate alone at this time.

But when he thought about the fact that the Zhou family had just killed a guardian of the Hualong Sect, he felt that his suspicion was unreasonable.

Even for a powerful force like the Hualong Sect, there are only a few guardian-level strongmen. They are not the kind that you can grab a handful of on the roadside.

Even if the small Zhou family really had a secret connection with the Hualong Sect, it was not worth using the life of such a guardian to help the Zhou family.

Thinking about the fact that the Zhou family had once cooperated with Taoist Mingxia to kill a black dragon guardian, Qing Weizi did not have any confidence in his own doubts.

And now that Zhou Mingde suddenly learned the news of the Jiang family's accident, his initial shocked reaction and subsequent surprise also proved that he probably didn't know about this in advance.

Although that could have been an elaborate disguise on his part, Qing Weizi really had no intention of delving into it further.

After all, the missing person was just a cultivator from a vassal family under his command. It was really not worth it for him, the dignified head of Qinglian Temple, to go to so much trouble to get to the bottom of it and spend a lot of energy to investigate another family that had just made contributions to Qinglian Temple!
All of this was within the calculations of the three members of the Zhou family.

Whether the Jiang family admits it or not, after winning the top 30 families in the "Hundred Clans Conference", the Zhou family's influence in Qinglian Temple has surpassed that of the Jiang family.

If they were Qing Weizi, they would never lose sight of the priorities and conduct an in-depth investigation into the Zhou family just for a Purple Mansion cultivator from the Jiang family based on a little speculative speculation.

You have to know that only the three core members of the Zhou family were in charge of this matter from beginning to end. If Qing Weizi wants to investigate this matter and wants to find out something, she can only start with these three people.

And that would certainly make the Zhou family feel disillusioned with Qinglian Temple, and they would no longer want to contribute to it.

He even secretly revealed the things about the Hualong Sect in a rage.

Unless Qing Weizi was crazy, how could she do such a thing as forcing the people to rebel for the sake of a Jiang family cultivator whose life or death was unknown?

Therefore, the smile and pride that Zhou Mingde showed when he left Qinglian Temple were truly from the heart.

When he returned to his family and received the letter from Lin Hongyu from Zhou Daoyi, he smiled even more happily.

Because the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator of the Jiang family was not missing, but had already died!
"Yeah, that's great!"

"In this case, the Jiang family will not only come to seek revenge on our Zhou family, but will also have to worry about our Zhou family causing trouble for them!"

Zhou Mingde couldn't help but clap and laugh out loud, feeling genuinely happy about the news.

"It's a good thing indeed, but the strength of this Guardian Lin is too fierce!"

"She seems to be only at the middle stage of Purple Mansion cultivation!"

"With this level of cultivation, he was able to kill a person of the same level alone. This is really shocking!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but show a trace of worry when he said, "If she really turns against our Zhou family in the future, can our Zhou family suppress her?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but glance at Zhou Daoyi.

Zhou Daoyi understood what he meant instantly and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde could only say vaguely: "There is no need to worry too much about this. The three major sects are about to go to war with the Hualong Sect. Maybe that woman will die in this war. Then we don't have to worry about her threat."

After saying that, he seemed not to want to give Zhou Chun any more opportunities to ask more questions, and immediately changed the subject and said, "Now that the external threat has been resolved, Daoyi, you should retreat and open up your Purple Mansion as soon as possible. Daoquan is still waiting for the family to help him get revenge!"

"I understand. I will prepare for seclusion now."

Zhou Daoyi nodded and agreed immediately.
