Chapter 1838: Chapter 1838
However, for the sake of the King Fire Flood Dragon’s face, it could only express its gratitude to him, "Brother Qing is right. Fortunately, we invited Brother Fire Dragon with us this time. Otherwise, if we had pushed that human too hard, we might have found it really difficult to escape!"
Upon hearing this, King Fire Flood Dragon’s expression improved significantly. Thɪs chapter is updated by noⅴelfire.net
In hindsight, it realized that it might have overreacted at the time, making a mountain out of a molehill.
But of course, it couldn’t admit to this, otherwise where would its dignity be!
Moreover, it really didn’t need to gamble on the fact that it might not be the case.
Even if the chance that Zhou Chun’s item was the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure was only thirty percent, it was still extremely dangerous.
If things went wrong, King Fire Flood Dragon might indeed meet its end there!
As a dignified Fifth-Order Superior Jiaolong King, without any life-and-death grudge against Zhou Chun, why would it gamble its life and path on such a possibility?
Without any threat to its life now, its primary concern was, naturally, how to maintain its dignity.
Seeing the Green Flood Dragon King and King of Thunder Flood Dragon tactfully preserving its dignity, it nodded with satisfaction, saying, "No need for formalities, my brothers. This matter is settled for now. When Lord Demon Saint emerges, we’ll then report this for his judgment!"
The Golden Horn Demon Saint was traveling and might not return for years. King Fire Flood Dragon’s words clearly indicated it wanted no more involvement in this matter.
Upon hearing this, the King of Thunder Flood Dragon was undoubtedly the most disappointed.
Originally, it intended to take Baibai, the four-clawed, four-toed Thunder Flood Dragon, back to Dragon Abyss Marsh. If Baibai could earnestly stay with the Flood Dragon Clan, then the Thunder Flood Dragon Clan would truly have a significant leader in the future.
Even if Baibai was indeed unagreeable, it could be forced to improve the Thunder Flood Dragon Clan’s current bloodline.
It was precisely because it could benefit from Baibai that it returned to Dragon Abyss Marsh at King Fire Flood Dragon’s summons.
Now, with King Fire Flood Dragon giving up the idea of bringing Baibai back, how could King of Thunder Flood Dragon not feel disappointed?
However, despite its disappointment, it understood King Fire Flood Dragon’s concerns and said nothing further, tacitly acknowledging the matter.
The Green Flood Dragon King, unwilling to take its earlier beating in vain, remarked, "Brother Fire Dragon’s approach is indeed the safest. However, letting that kid off so easily seems too cheap for him. How about spreading the word that he possesses the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure to those Human Clan Nascent Soul Period cultivators to cause him some trouble!"
Hearing this, King Fire Flood Dragon showed a hint of intrigue.
It didn’t dare risk its life gambling whether Zhou Chun’s item was the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure or could unleash its heavenly power.
But if someone else was willing to risk their life to test it, then why not?
Unexpectedly, King of Thunder Flood Dragon spoke up, "Brother Qing, your suggestion isn’t a clever one. If that item truly is the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, spreading the news will surely draw attention from Human Clan Divinity Transformation Period cultivators, potentially strengthening the Human Clan’s power and providing a powerful ally to that human!"
Upon hearing this, the previously intrigued King Fire Flood Dragon’s expression changed, nodding repeatedly, "You have a point. Brother Lei makes a very sound argument!"
Then it gave a sharp look at the Green Flood Dragon King, saying, "It’s decided then. Only we three know of this matter, and not a word must be leaked. If I hear any rumor outside, I will hold you accountable!"
This was clearly directed at the Green Flood Dragon King.
Feeling the piercing and warning gaze, the Green Flood Dragon King’s expression tightened, hastily pledging, "Rest assured, Brother Fire Dragon, I understand the consequences and will remain tight-lipped, not letting a word slip out!"
Apparently losing trust in it, King Fire Flood Dragon emphasized again with a stern tone.
This left the Green Flood Dragon King feeling both aggrieved and indignant, forcing it to swear once more in front of King Fire Flood Dragon to salvage some credibility.
Afterwards, the three Flood Dragon Kings, all low-spirited, left the Yunzhou region, returning to their respective lairs.
Meanwhile, witnessing Zhou Chun confront and fight off the three revealed Flood Dragon Kings outside the mountain gate, and successfully forcing them to retreat, the Zhou Family Cultivators watching from the mountain gate were all utterly shocked and thrilled.
Even Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who thought they knew Zhou Chun well, were equally shocked and delighted.
Zhou Chun had not mentioned his plans to them and only said when they advised him to leave that he had a way to preserve his life.
At the time, they thought he had some other way to escape from the hands of a Fifth-Order Superior Jiaolong King, but they didn’t expect him to be able to independently force back three Flood Dragon Kings!
If not witnessed firsthand, they might have doubted it even if Zhou Chun told them personally!
So, when Zhou Chun triumphantly returned to the family, Zhou Mingde, unable to contain his excitement, repeatedly asked him, "How did you do it? Zhengchun, how did you manage to do that! Why did those three Flood Dragon Kings leave just like that?"
