Chapter 240: If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you. The situation is stronger than me. [Subscription Request]

Red-eyed dragon vulture, dragon-clawed monitor lizard, dragon-scale horse.

The monsters that the Zhou family brought back from the White Dragon Branch are mainly these three types.

These three monsters also have their own characteristics.

The Red-eyed Dragon Vulture is a flying monster beast that can carry multiple cultivators at a time. For cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is an excellent beast of transportation.

The dragon claw monitor lizard is huge in size and good at carrying loads. It can carry twenty to thirty people and travel thousands of miles a day. It is a good helper for quickly transporting people and bulk goods.

The dragon scale horse is similar in size to the black scale horse, but its speed and endurance are much stronger than the black scale horse. It also has a strong water ability and can swim across large rivers and lakes. It also has strong combat power and is an excellent mount for solo travel.

Among the fifty-seven monsters that the Zhou family brought back from the White Dragon Branch, the Red-Eyed Dragon Vultures were the least numerous, with only nine in number, and the Dragon-Clawed Monitor Lizards ranked second, with a total of fifteen in number.

The most numerous are the dragon-scale horses, with a total of thirty-three.

Dragon-born monsters are ferocious by nature; even the relatively docile dragon-scale horses are equally aggressive.

Therefore, these monsters cannot live together with other monsters in the Zhou family's beast garden for the time being, so as to prevent them from mistaking other monsters for enemies and hunting them.

So, following Zhou Daoquan's suggestion, Zhou Chun and his team placed the three kinds of monsters in three different places.

Among them, the Red-eyed Dragon Vulture was placed on the most remote Hexagonal Peak and was guarded by the Sixth Elder Zhou Jiapeng himself. His pet, the Golden-winged Iron-feathered Eagle, was barely able to subdue this group of ferocious birds.

The dragon-clawed monitor lizard was placed in the forest under Baozhi Peak and guarded by the fifth elder Zhou Jiahe.

The largest number of dragon-scale horses were placed in a hilly valley between three mountain peaks. No elders were assigned to guard them. Only the Vajra Monkeys were assigned to watch over them and not allow them to run out of that area.

Now that the war is approaching, the Zhou family does not have the time and energy to tame these monsters. They can only temporarily settle them down and let them get used to the new environment here.

Wait until the war is over, and then slowly make time to train them.

For this reason, even the people who usually feed them are still the three Dragon Transformation Sect monks who were brought back.

Fortunately, these dragon-born monsters basically eat meat, even the dragon-scale horses eat half meat and half grass.

Otherwise, the Zhou family would have to spend a lot of manpower just to prepare food for these monsters.

After settling all the monsters, Zhou Chun and others cleaned up the spoils of the Southern Expedition. All the spiritual medicines that needed to be dealt with in a timely manner were registered and placed in Baiyao Peak to be handled by professional personnel. The rest were temporarily sealed in the family treasury to be dealt with later.

In short, next time you go out, don’t carry these miscellaneous items in your storage bag.

After arranging all the urgent matters, Zhou Chun helped to deal with some family affairs while waiting for the results of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi's trial of Zhang Shian.

"Zhengchun, arrange for someone to go to the Zhang family and deliver this jade slip to Zhang Kaida, the head of the Zhang family. He will know what to do!"

In the Zhongping Hall, after Zhou Daoyi came down from the cave on the top of the mountain, he handed a jade slip made by Zhang Shian himself to Zhou Chun and told him the arrangements.

From his words, Zhou Chun immediately guessed what they had talked about in the cave on the top of the mountain.

So he reached out to take the jade slip and said, "Do you want the Zhang family to pay the ransom and redeem the person?"

"Yeah, it's not a good idea to really beat him to death at this time. If we lock him up, we'll have to arrange for someone to guard him!"

Zhou Daoyi sighed slightly and nodded in response.

"That guy is really lucky. He happened to meet someone who was needed right now."

Zhou Chun shook his head and didn't say anything else. He immediately took the jade slip to find the third elder Zhou Daoquan and asked him to go to Tiantai Mountain to deliver the message to the Zhang family.

Because of the speed, the Zhang family was still unaware that the family's supreme elder Zhang Shian had been captured on the spot by the Zhou family.

The Zhang family didn't know about this until Zhou Daoquan arrived at Tiantai Mountain with the jade slip made by Zhang Shi'an himself and handed it to Zhang Kaida, the head of the Zhang family who had returned early.

There is no doubt that this news was like a bolt from the blue for Zhang Kaida and the Zhang family monks, and it completely stunned them.

Zhang Kaida naturally knew that his own supreme elder had been keeping an eye on the Zhou family.

But he never expected that not only did Zhang Shian and Fu Mingtao's action fail, but his own supreme elder was also captured alive by the Zhou family!
If the jade slip had not mentioned in detail the several treasures owned by the Zhang family, and if Zhang Kaida had not known that the Zhou family would not fool him with something that could be easily verified to be true or false, he would have suspected that this was a conspiracy of the Zhou family.

"The letter has been delivered. It is up to you, Mr. Zhang, to decide what to do!"

Zhou Daoquan looked at Zhang Kaida, who was dazed and shocked, and felt secretly happy. After leaving a few words, he left the Zhang family directly.

And Zhang Kaida didn't even ask him anything, he just stared at him and left.

It was not until Zhou Daoquan walked away that Zhang Kaida seemed to come back to his senses. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Zhou family, what a great Zhou family!"

Then he hurriedly arranged for people to gather information everywhere, while he himself summoned all the senior leaders of the Zhang family to discuss the redemption of the person.

The Zhou family did not give much time. The relevant items must be delivered to Jiufengling within five days, otherwise they would be killed!
But if all those things were sent to the Zhou family as Zhang Shian said on the jade slip, the Zhang family would suffer too much loss.

Therefore, Zhang Kaida couldn't decide on his own whether to do as Zhang Shian said, so he had to convene a meeting of elders for all the elders of the family to vote.

However, Zhang Kaida knew very well that if Zhang Shian really fell into the hands of the Zhou family, the Zhang family would have no other choice but to pay money to redeem him.

This is indeed the case.

At the Zhang family's elders' meeting, the main focus of the elders' discussion was not whether to ransom the person or not, but whether the news was true and whether the Zhou family could reduce the ransom.

There were even elders of the Zhang family who had wild ideas and believed that at this time when the whole country was resisting the attack of the beast tide, the Zhou family would definitely not dare to harm a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator like Zhang Shian.

They believed that when the three major sects re-recruited the Purple Mansion monks from each family to go to the battlefield, the Zhou family would have no choice but to release Zhang Shi'an.

Zhang Kaida shook his head both in his heart and on his face at such remarks.

He didn't think the Zhou family would be so obedient.

After all, Zhang Shian was caught red-handed when attacking the Zhou family, and this is something that can never be cleared up.

Even if the Zhou family killed Zhang Shian, it was reasonable and no one could say anything.

When the three major sects learn about this, the most they can do is to reprimand the Zhou family for being ignorant of the overall situation and not considering the overall situation.

After all the arguments, there was no definite conclusion on whether to redeem the person according to the Zhou family's conditions. It was not until the person who went out to get information brought back the news that the Zhou family had a third-level dragon that all the arguments stopped.

The Zhou family actually hides a third-level green dragon!
When Zhang Kaida learned the news, he was also extremely shocked and horrified.

"No wonder! No wonder Zhou Daoyi was unwilling to release his Azure Cloud Python spiritual pet to participate in the battle at the Hundred Clan Conference!"

"So, the reason why the Zhou family suddenly drove all outsiders out of the mountain gate was because the Sky Blue Cloud Python evolved into a third-level Azure Dragon inside the Zhou family's mountain gate?"

Zhang Kaida suddenly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment and understood many doubts that he had never been able to figure out before.

Unfortunately, it is too late for him to know the answers now!

If he had known the answer earlier, he would never continue to be an enemy of the Zhou family, and would never think of seeking revenge on the Zhou family again!
"Damn Zhou family! They deliberately hid this news, pretending to be weak, and luring our Zhang family to attack them. This is all their conspiracy!"

An elder from the Zhang family couldn't help but curse out loud, his face full of anger and fear.

Many people are like this. After doing something wrong, they will not admit that it is their own mistake, but think that others caused them to do the wrong thing.

Typical case of being unable to poop and blaming the toilet for being too smelly!
But they only dared to curse like this within the Zhang family.

In fact, the elders of the Zhang family are now very afraid of the Zhou family in their hearts.

Zhang Kaida also saw this, so after he sorted out his thoughts, he sighed and said, "Well, let's do everything according to what the Grand Elder said, and just think of it as spending money to ward off disaster!"

After hearing what he said, several elders of the Zhang family looked at each other, and no one objected, which was considered as tacit agreement.

The situation is stronger than people. The Zhou family has indeed grasped their weak spot now, and they have no choice but to compromise.

And judging from the information they have received so far, even if they do not agree with the Zhou family's demands, the Zhou family has indeed opened up and released Zhang Shi'an.

After the war, the Zhou family will settle accounts with the Zhang family. Are the Zhang family strong enough to fight against the Zhou family?

So after the elders' meeting passed, Zhang Kaida immediately opened the family treasury to select items, and called on the family monks to donate together. Finally, the ransom was raised within three days.

After that, he did not dare to delay at all and hurried to Jiufengling with the ransom.

When Zhang Kai arrived at the Zhou family in Jiufengling, the Zhou family was entertaining Taoist Mingxia who had come to visit.

Taoist Mingxia came to the Zhou family on behalf of Qinglian Temple to inquire about the matter of the third-order green dragon.

At a time when the Zhou family is at war with the Hualong Sect and the Jiaolong Clan, a third-level green dragon suddenly appears. This incident has attracted a lot of attention.

Although he had roughly guessed the origin of the third-level green dragon of the Zhou family, Qinglian Temple's abbot Qing Weizi still sent Taoist Mingxia, who had a close relationship with the Zhou family, to investigate the matter.

This was also expected by the Zhou family.

Therefore, facing the question from Taoist Mingxia, Zhou Daoyi directly said, "Fellow Taoist Mingxia, please understand. My spiritual pet, the Azure Cloud Python, has the blood of a dragon and has the possibility of transforming into a dragon."

"And Zhou was lucky enough to get a treasure that could help it transform into a dragon. And it really worked hard on its own. After refining that treasure, its bloodline returned to its ancestral lineage and it evolved into a green dragon. It also broke through and evolved to the third level!"

Hearing his answer, Taoist Mingxia looked at him meaningfully and said, "Could it be that the treasure that Daoist Brother Zhou mentioned that can help transform into a dragon be the inner elixir of a third-level green dragon?"

Zhou Daoyi heard this, but his expression remained unchanged and he asked back: "Does Zhou have to answer this?"

Taoist Mingxia was slightly startled, then smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, of course, does not need to answer. The temple master only asked me to confirm the origin of the Zhou family's dragon. Since it is indeed the bloodline of Fellow Daoist Zhou's pet, the Azure Cloud Python, then my mission is accomplished."

After saying that, he turned his gaze and looked at Zhou Chun.

Then he said softly, "Young friend Zhou has never asked us for help to transform the dragon blood in his body. Could it be that he has already practiced the foundation transformation technique within the Dragon Transformation Sect and transformed the golden dragon blood in his body into the green dragon blood?"

"Senior, you have a keen eye. I admire you."

Zhou Chun bowed respectfully and admitted the matter frankly.

Seeing this, Taoist Mingxia couldn't help but ask again: "So the foundation transformation technique was also given to you by Taoist Fellow Lu Ran?"

"Yes, it was indeed me who later sought out Senior Lu Ran to learn this technique!"

Zhou Chun nodded and admitted it.

This matter cannot be concealed from anyone, and there is no need to conceal it anymore.

After seeing him admit it, Taoist Mingxia suddenly looked serious. He looked at the Zhou family members solemnly and said, "Before I came here, the temple master specifically told me that the Zhou family must be careful about the scale of trade with Lu Ran and not disregard everything for the sake of profit!"

"In addition, in the future, all kinds of rare treasures from the waters obtained by the Zhou family, except for those used by the Zhou family themselves, should be sent to our sect first for selection and purchase. Only those that our sect does not want can be sent to the market for sale!"

"There is one more thing. Now that the beast tide is coming, since the Zhou family has the power and means, we should do our best to contribute manpower and manpower to resist the beast tide, or we can ask Lu Ran to find out more information about the beast tide!"

After these words were spoken, several people from the Zhou family frowned.

The first and second requirements are easy to deal with, but the one in the middle is a bit excessive.

They knew without a doubt that the price offered by Qinglian Temple for the rare treasures from the aquatic area that were sent to it would definitely not be as high as if the Zhou family sold them themselves.

As a result, the Zhou family lost a huge amount of profits.

Moreover, if all the good stuff were picked up by Qinglian Temple, how could they exchange some rare and precious aquatic treasures for some equally rare and precious elixirs?
However, Taoist Mingxia's tone clearly showed that he was only informing them of the matter, rather than discussing it with them.

This shows that they have no room for bargaining at all, and they have no choice but to accept it!

The situation is stronger than the person!

Zhou Mingde sighed in his heart, nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. In the future, the Zhou family will strictly control the scale of trade with Daoist Lu Ran, and send the treasures obtained from the waters to Qinglian Temple as tribute!"

At this point, he shook his head slightly and said, "But we are only in a cooperative relationship with Fellow Daoist Lu Ran, and we cannot order him about anything. Besides, now that the beast tide is raging in the wilderness, it is not easy for us to contact him. We cannot guarantee whether we can get any more information from him."

After hearing his answer, Taoist Mingxia simply said, "It doesn't matter. Just do your best."

After saying that, he waved the whisk in his hand and said, "Well, my mission is complete. I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"

Then he really left, and from beginning to end he never asked about the Zhou family's capture of Zhang Shian, as if he had never known about it.

Today is the first update. I can’t guarantee whether there will be a second update, mainly because it’s too cold!! But if there are no two updates today, there will definitely be two updates tomorrow!
