Chapter 553 The Unlucky Master Kuang Lei [Seeking guaranteed monthly ticket, requesting subscription]

Besides, after Zhou Chun used the strategy of "diverting the trouble to the east", he actually did not leave the Black Mist Lake.

He was very clear about one thing in his mind: if Master Kuang Lei was still able to track him down after he had come up with several countermeasures, then he would not be able to escape no matter where he ran.

After all, the flying speed between the Nascent Soul stage cultivators and the Golden Core stage cultivators is too different. Even if he has the advantage of the first-mover advantage, he can't escape the pursuit of others.

Of course, he didn't say that he really chose to accept his fate and do nothing.

In fact, although Zhou Chun did not leave the Black Mist Marsh, he merged with the Golden-Armored Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone and escaped deep underground on a large island in the Black Mist Marsh, hiding thousands of feet underground.

Such a deep underground, even if Master Kuang Lei chased him, he might not be able to find his real hiding place. With the help of his talent of the Golden Armored Mountain Turtle Stone, he still had a chance to deal with it.

Of course, once it really comes to that, he will be in great danger of death.

However, the final outcome of events undoubtedly proved that there was nothing wrong with his approach.

In fact, this is quite consistent with the rules of the world of immortal cultivation.

As long as you are not greedy and are not blinded by greed, you will not easily get hurt or in danger.

Zhou Chun came here for revenge this time with a very clear purpose, just to get revenge and vent his anger, and to make his thoughts clear!

He didn't have this strength before, so he could only swallow his anger and dared not to seek revenge.

Now that he has this strength, and he met Wang Jun again a few years ago, there is naturally no need for him to continue to swallow his anger.

It is not necessary for cultivators to avenge their enemies, but it does not make sense for them to always be cowards.

People have to live, but they can't just live for the sake of living. That would be too tiring and meaningless!

Since he was just trying to get revenge, Zhou Chun would naturally not put himself in danger for some insignificant gains.

Even if he got those magic weapons of Wang Jun, it would be difficult to exchange them for cash, and he himself was unable to refine more magic weapons. Why would he put himself in danger?
Furthermore, if he did not take these magic weapons, if True Man Kuang Lei really found the Zhou family in the future, Zhou Chun would still have a reason to ask the Yue Lun Sect or True Man Tianjing to help mediate and define the matter as the grudges and hatreds between their peers.

After all, Wang Jun attacked and killed him first, so it is reasonable for him to seek revenge now.

But if he even took away the magic weapons bestowed on Wang Jun by True Man Kuang Lei, then the matter would easily turn into that he deliberately killed people and stole the treasures.

By then, whether it is the Yuelun Sect or Tianjing Zhenren, if they want to protect him, it will be difficult to justify their decision!

Although the world of immortal cultivation is a place where the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected, it does not mean that principles are useless.

The strong will not reason with the weak, but will definitely reason with the strong of the same strength!

Therefore, Zhou Chun must leave a way out for himself and not be short-sighted and live only for immediate interests.

After hiding deep underground for a while, Zhou Chun suddenly felt a strong vibration, as if a major earthquake had occurred.

Through the induction of the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle stone, he quickly determined that there was indeed a strong earthquake in the distance!

This immediately made Zhou Chun curious.

He had a vague guess in his heart that the earthquake must be related to Master Kuang Lei.

But what puzzled him was, who was Master Kuang Lei's opponent?
Is there anyone strong enough in the Black Mist Lake who can fight against Master Kuang Lei?

For a moment, Zhou Chun was in a state of panic, wanting to know the identity of the man who had fought with Master Kuang Lei.

But reason told him that he must not go out to watch the fun at this time and must not expose himself to Master Kuang Lei.

So in the end he could only forcibly suppress his inner curiosity and stay quietly deep underground waiting for the results.

After waiting for a while, until the vibrations stopped, Zhou Chun asked the golden-armored mountain turtle Shitou to follow the source to gather intelligence.

In the previous battle with Wang Jun, Stone, the golden-armored turtle carrying a mountain, had never appeared in the entire process, so even if he was discovered by Master Kuang Lei, he would not be considered to have any connection with Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun waited underground for nearly two hours before the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle Stone returned.

"What? You said you sensed the aura of a fifth-level monster at the source of the vibration!"

In a cave hall deep underground, Zhou Chun looked at the returning golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle Stone and was shocked by what it said.

There is actually a fifth-level demon king in the Black Mist Lake!

When Zhou Chun thought of this, he couldn't help but feel scared.

If he had known this earlier, he would definitely not have dared to ambush and kill Wang Jun here.

"That's not right. If there really was a fifth-level demon king in Black Mist Marsh, why would they allow so many cultivators to hunt demon beasts and pick spiritual herbs in it? Why has there never been any news about it?"

Zhou Chun looked up at the ceiling of the cave with a look of doubt and felt that things were not that simple.

The Black Mist Lake is a human territory located within the Great Zhou Kingdom. If there is a fifth-level demon king in it, even a fifth-level top-quality demon king, it is likely that he will be surrounded and killed by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Even if the fifth-level demon king came from another place, it would be impossible for him to hide himself without leaving any clues.

After all, a fifth-level demon king has a huge demand for spiritual veins, and there is very limited space in the Black Mist Lake that can accommodate such a powerful being.

The key point is, there is absolutely no need for a fifth-level demon king to take the risk of staying in the Black Mist Swamp!
At this level, even if it is no match for the Yuanying stage monks of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it can escape to the Dolan Grassland or other non-human controlled areas. There is no need to hide in the Black Mist Swamp!

"Wait, could it be that the backer of that group of bandit cultivators is this fifth-level demon king? The reason why they were able to practice in the Black Mist Marsh without being discovered was because of the help of the formation and the help of human cultivators?"

Zhou Chun suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ponder with a slightly changed expression.

If the situation is really as he thought, then he has accidentally solved two problems at once and made a contribution to the Great Zhou Kingdom!

After that, Zhou Chun stayed deep underground for a few more days before leaving. He changed his appearance, concealed his cultivation level, and left the Black Mist Lake.

When Zhou Chun arrived at a medium-sized market near Heiwu Lake, he easily got information about the battle that took place a few days ago.

The content of the intelligence surprised and delighted him.

It turned out that according to the news circulating in the market, True Man Kuang Lei had indeed fought with a fifth-level demon king in the Black Mist Lake that day. It was said that it was a fifth-level mid-grade demon king, and an extremely powerful fifth-level mid-grade black dragon!

Just as Zhou Chun guessed, this black dragon demon king is the real controller of the bandit organization "Black Dragon Society". He has been hiding deep in the Black Dragon Society's lair, sleeping and practicing, and using the formation set up by the Black Dragon Society to conceal his existence.

Master Kuang Lei suddenly attacked the Black Dragon Society's lair, forcing the leader of the Black Dragon Society to awaken the Black Dragon Demon King. Then the two fifth-level beings fought a fierce battle in the Black Mist Swamp.

The final result of the battle naturally ended with Master Kuang Lei being defeated!
It is said that Master Kuang Lei not only lost, but also lost miserably. It is rumored that his physical body was destroyed by the Black Dragon Demon King, and he was able to escape only by virtue of his Nascent Soul leaving his body!
After his identity was exposed, the Black Dragon Demon King did not stay in the Black Mist Lake any longer. He took a group of high-ranking members of the Black Dragon Society and left the place. His whereabouts are unknown.

It is said that this incident has now caused the anger of the top sects in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and they have begun to investigate the origins and whereabouts of the Black Dragon Demon King.

Think about it too.

The Great Zhou Kingdom has always been a benchmark for the nearby world of immortal cultivation. There are many high-level cultivators in the country, including several great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

It turns out that there is such a fifth-order middle-grade demon king hidden in the country who is not under surveillance and control. He has also enslaved human cultivators to establish a bandit organization that specializes in robbing and killing human cultivators!

If such a thing were to get out, it would definitely be regarded as a joke and would bring shame to the monks of the country.

After all, even in a remote country like Jingguo, there wouldn't be a fifth-level demon king within its borders!
To put it more bluntly, since this fifth-order intermediate-grade black dragon committed a crime first in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the Great Zhou Kingdom had sufficient reason to hunt it down. Even if it was killed, the other demon kings would have no reason to stand up for it.

Zhou Chun didn’t care whether the Great Zhou Kingdom could successfully kill the fifth-order intermediate-grade black dragon this time, because it had nothing to do with him.

However, he was very concerned about the true situation of Master Kuang Lei.

If it is true as rumored, that his physical body was destroyed and he managed to escape by relying on his Nascent Soul to leave his body, then it would definitely be the best news for him.

After all, in this case, it would probably take him dozens or even hundreds of years just to recover from his injuries and restore his cultivation.

However, the true situation about Master Kuang Lei cannot be found out in an ordinary market.

As a result, Zhou Chun quickly recovered his Jindan stage cultivation, transformed into the appearance of his deceased cousin Zhou Zhengqing, and headed straight for Tianyuan Immortal City.

Speaking of this revenge, although Zhou Chun did not lose any magic weapons or spiritual objects, he still felt a little regretful that Zhang Liang, the identity he had cultivated for a long time, was abandoned.

In fact, after he killed Wang Jun, Zhang Liang’s identity might not necessarily be discovered.

But he didn't dare to gamble, because if he lost the bet, he might lose his life!
Fortunately, Luo Qingni knew his real identity, so there would be no problem in changing her identity to communicate with her in the future. She just had to be careful not to let others associate her new identity with Zhang Liang's identity. As for the other lost connections, it was not necessary anyway, so the loss was still within an acceptable range!
In short, after returning to Tianyuan Fairy City, Zhou Chun did not contact Luo Qingni, but only reported his safety to Zhou Daoyi and explained some of the circumstances.

Then he went to Tianzhi Tower to buy information about the fight between True Man Kuanglei and the fifth-rank intermediate-grade black dragon.

This matter is currently the hottest topic in Da Zhou, and his purchase of this information should not arouse any suspicion.

I have to say that Tianzhilou is indeed a professional intelligence dealer.

Although the incident happened only a few days ago, they have already obtained first-hand intelligence.

Zhou Chun was not stingy with his spirit coins and directly spent 10,000 spirit coins to purchase the most detailed intelligence.

You get what you pay for. The only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive!
There are many discrepancies between the information from Tianzhi Tower and the information Zhou Chun got in the market town.

According to the intelligence records from Tianzhi Tower, the black dragon does not have the cultivation level of a fifth-level middle-grade demon king, but is only a fifth-level lower-grade demon king!
However, the black dragon is not a pure demon king, but an extremely rare symbiotic existence of man and demon!
According to what we learned from Tianzhi Tower, in addition to the black dragon's own demon soul, there is actually the soul of a human cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage inside the black dragon's body. Moreover, this dragon is actually a mutated dragon with two heads, a two-headed black dragon!
No one knew the origins of the human cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and no one knew how he managed to share a body with the black dragon.

If it weren’t for Master Kuang Lei, no one would know that such a being existed in the depths of the Black Mist Lake.

And this time, Master Kuang Lei has truly stepped on a landmine!

After being forced to show up by him, that being obviously hated him very much, so he acted very cruelly.

It is said that not only was the physical body of Master Kuang Lei destroyed, but even his Nascent Soul was severely damaged by some kind of magical power, which may very likely cut off his future path and even greatly reduce his lifespan!

In short, now that True Man Kuang Lei has escaped back to Leiya Valley, Leiya Valley has announced the closure of the mountain and has fully activated the mountain protection formation for self-protection.

And perhaps in order to avenge himself, Master Kuang Lei also took the initiative to have someone release some information about the two-headed black dragon.

According to the information released by True Man Kuang Lei, the two-headed black dragon not only has extraordinary magical powers, but also possesses several powerful magic weapons, including a very powerful seal magic treasure.

The invincible magical power of Thunder Escape of Mad Thunder was broken by the magic seal. In the end, he couldn't even save his physical body and could only escape by teleporting his Nascent Soul out of his body.

The reason why those Yuanying stage cultivators of the Great Zhou Kingdom are now chasing the two-headed black dragon is largely because they want to kill the dragon and seize the treasure!
"Excellent, excellent! This is really an unexpected success!"

Zhou Chun put down the information in his hand, and his face was suddenly filled with joy.

For him, this result was undoubtedly a great surprise.

If the intelligence was correct, Master Kuang Lei would not be able to show up for at least a hundred years, and he might not dare to leave the mountain gate for even longer.

After all, the injury to the Nascent Soul is no small matter, which is much more serious than the destruction of the physical body.

For a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he has not taken over another body before and as long as his Nascent Soul is not injured, even if his physical body is destroyed, he can restore his cultivation strength by taking over another body, and it won't take long.

But if the Nascent Soul is injured, it will be very troublesome.

Spiritual objects that can heal Nascent Soul injuries are more precious and rare than those that can improve the magical powers of Nascent Soul cultivators. It is basically impossible for True Man Kuang Lei, who comes from a medium-sized sect like Leiya Valley, to possess one.

In this way, if he wanted to recover from his injuries, he could only slowly heal himself through a long period of meditation.

During this period, he basically cannot move anymore, otherwise it is likely to aggravate his injuries and make his condition worse!

Zhou Chun didn't know whether True Man Kuang Lei had any enemies of the same level. If so, then there would definitely be something interesting to watch next.

"good, very good, excellent!"

He couldn't help but clap and cheer, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Master Kuang Lei was seriously injured and unable to take action, the matter of Wang Jun was temporarily forgotten and would no longer pose any threat to him.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Chun suddenly felt refreshed, his mind was clear, and some of the confusion he had about cultivation seemed to have found its direction.

Immediately, he rented a practice room to practice in seclusion.

After several months of secluded practice, Zhou Chun did make some progress, both in his personal cultivation of skills and in his supernatural powers.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun did not rush back to his family, but traveled around the Great Zhou Kingdom, buying the elixir needed to refine the [Ancient Dust Pill] at a high price.

Several months later, Zhou Chun, who had successfully purchased the elixir, asked Luo Qingni to help him refine a furnace of [Ancient Dust Pills] through Zhou Daoyi, and obtained a total of eight elixirs.

Only then did he return to Yasukuni with satisfaction.

……

In Jiangzhou, on the "Suzi Lake" outside the Su Family Mountain Gate, several young members of the Su family took a few friends to go boating on the lake, each of them commenting on a large piece of paper in their hands with small characters printed on both sides.

A handsome young man in a green robe suddenly put down the paper in his hand and sighed with emotion, "What a great invention! Who would have thought that a newspaper like this could let us know about the treasures that appeared at an auction in Yunzhou Market? It also let us know that because a large steel-silver vein was discovered in Cangzhou, the price of steel-silver ore there has dropped by half a percent compared to normal times!"

Hearing what the young man in green said, another young man in white beside him nodded in agreement and said, "Fellow Daoist Ma is right. The emergence of the 'Tianling Morning News' has greatly facilitated low-level cultivators like us. Now that we have been in seclusion for several months, we only need to buy newspapers published in the last few months after we come out of seclusion to know all the major and minor events that have happened in various parts of the country. We no longer need to find someone to inquire about them!"

At this point, the man sighed with an annoyed look on his face, "Chen now subscribes to a newspaper every two weeks, hoping that he won't miss the opportunity to buy foundation-building spiritual items again like before!"

As soon as these words fell, a young man from the Su family in a blue gown showed a change of expression, and immediately said thoughtfully: "The foundation-building spiritual object that Brother Chen mentioned refers to the [Pulse Protection Pill] that appeared at the auction in Qinghu Market, Huzhou two months ago. I also saw it in the newspaper at that time. I didn't expect that the auctioneer was so bold and thoughtful that he actually found the [Zhou Tong Tian Xia] business company in advance to publish some auction item information in the newspaper, which attracted many foreign cultivators to go to Huzhou to bid!"

"Isn't it that time? When Chen learned the news, there was less than a day left. He had no time to rush over and missed the opportunity!"

When the young man in white said this, he slapped his thigh repeatedly with great regret.

Seeing this, the young man from the Su family immediately comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chen. Since Qinghu Market has succeeded this time, other auction houses will surely follow suit. You just need to prepare your spirit coins and you won't have to worry about not having another chance next time!"

"Hey, I hope so!"

The young man in white sighed, his expression still somewhat depressed.

At this time, a beautiful female cultivator in a white dress on the boat suddenly put down the newspaper in her hand, looked at the young man from the Su family with curiosity and asked, "Brother Qing, I heard that the fourth-level thunder dragon of the Zhou family leader is now released in Suzi Lake. I wonder if you have seen it? Can you tell us what it looks like?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several foreign monks who came to visit on the ship looked at the two members of the Su family with curiosity.

And this doesn't seem to be the first time that the two members of the Su family have faced this problem.

After the two looked at each other, the young man in blue immediately lowered his voice and said, "Since you have all heard about this matter, let me tell you about it."

"As you all know, our Su family's Grand Elder Yu Zhen and the Zhou family's head are Taoist companions. The relationship between the two families is extraordinary. Moreover, the fourth-level thunder dragon now has the power to protect itself, so it is necessary to build a dragon nest to live in. Therefore, after much selection, they chose the Suzi Lake outside our Su family's mountain gate!"

"Although we all know that the fourth-level thunder dragon is at the bottom of the lake, it rarely appears on the surface of the lake. Even for our Su family cultivators, it is very difficult to see it, and it is also difficult to see its full appearance!"

"If you really want to see them, I have a few portraits copied by my tribesmen. You can have a look at them!"

As the blue-shirted young man spoke, he slapped the storage bag at his waist, took out a few scrolls and spread them out for everyone to appreciate.

In the scroll, during a thunderstorm, a silver dragon was looming in the lake, creating huge waves.

The postures of the silver dragons in the several scrolls are all different, but it is difficult to see their full picture. Only part of the dragon's head and body can be seen. It is truly a dragon whose head can only be seen but not its tail!

While these youngsters were boating on the lake, discussing Lei Jiao Baibai, Zhou Chun was also talking with the ancestor of the Su family inside the Su family's mountain gate about the "Tianling Morning News".

Zhou Chun got the inspiration for the idea of ​​"Tianling Morning News" from Tianzhi Tower.

Of course, he did not intend to sell the private information, but directly start a newspaper business in the world of immortal cultivation.

Zhou Chun knew long ago that news from the world of immortal cultivation spread very slowly among low-level cultivators.

Generally, only extremely hot news can spread quickly in the world of immortal cultivation.

But in fact, these news are of no use to the lower-level monks except to provide some topics for conversation.

Therefore, Zhou Chun planned to start a newspaper, which would be updated every half month. He would print some information about various towns and cities that only the local cultivators knew, so that cultivators from other places could also know about it and gain business opportunities from it.

By then, this newspaper business will definitely be very profitable, and it will also win the favor of the lower-level monks for the Zhou family again.

Zhou Chun had discussed this matter with Zhou Mingde earlier, and had started making preparations many years in advance. After he returned from the Great Zhou Kingdom with revenge three years ago, he began to personally direct and organize this matter.

The "Tianling Morning Post" has been in operation for half a year now, and the response has been very good. The newspaper, which costs one spirit coin, can sell thousands of copies each issue.

Even if many independent cultivators are short of money, they will pool their money together and take turns to purchase, so that they can find useful intelligence information more easily.
