Chapter 1839: Chapter 1839
Because the distance was too great, coupled with the overwhelmingly strong mana aura of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and the fifth-order demon king, those with cultivation levels below the fifth order found it difficult to clearly see their true forms.
So, no one on the Zhou Family’s side truly saw the details, and at this moment, he could only ask Zhou Chun, the person involved.
However, Zhou Chun did not dare to mention the existence of the Purifying Heavenly Vessel, as this artifact was of enormous significance. As long as it wasn’t truly recognized by anyone, there was no need to let a second person know. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel·fire.net
Thus, even when Zhou Mingde inquired, he ambiguously said, "The secrets within, it’s inconvenient for outsiders to know, and I also promised the three Flood Dragon Kings not to disclose this matter externally."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Mingde’s excitement instantly subsided, and he hurriedly nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, Zhengchun, you are right; I was too excited just now and a bit rash and presumptuous. Indeed, it’s best not to let anyone outside know about this!"
"Then when clan members ask or external forces inquire, how should we respond? Letting them guess whatever they want?"
Zhou Daoyi, after listening to their conversation, also chimed in, discussing how to handle the situation moving forward.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun thought for a moment and then nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, we can only let them guess!"
Hearing this response, Zhou Daoyi frowned and said, "If that’s the case, I’m afraid some people might seize this opportunity to slander Zhengchun, accusing you of colluding with the Flood Dragon Clan!"
"No worries, as long as there’s no evidence, some baseless rumors won’t shake the family’s foundation nor affect me in any substantial way!"
Zhou Chun waved his hand, speaking indifferently.
Without concrete evidence, attempting to frame a Nascent Soul Stage True Person is impossible.
Investigating Zhou Chun, furthermore, requires at least a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation level to even qualify for such a task.
Moreover, he believed that even those Great Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, upon hearing of his confrontation with the Fifth-Order Superior Jiaolong King, forcing back three Flood Dragon Kings, would think twice before messing with him.
Thus, regarding possible slander or defamation, he didn’t see any need to concern himself.
"Zhengchun is right; a rumor remains a rumor. As long as we don’t mess up, how could these mere rumors affect us?"
Zhou Mingde also voiced his support for Zhou Chun’s perspective, his tone full of confidence.
Having witnessed Zhou Chun force the retreat of three Flood Dragon Kings, he was now filled with endless confidence for the future of Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun also timely said, "Since the threat from the Flood Dragon Clan has temporarily been resolved, I’ll have to trouble you two more with the family’s affairs while I focus on cultivation for a while and won’t be able to attend to mundane matters!"
Hearing this, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi nodded repeatedly, saying, "That’s as it should be, Zhengchun. You’ve done enough for the family. Henceforth, just focus on your cultivation and your own matters. The family’s mundane affairs need not concern you—we will help share your burden!"
Then the two left Zhou Chun’s cave abode and went to explain to the still-excited family cultivators.
Meanwhile, the news of Zhou Chun single-handedly repelling three Flood Dragon Kings quickly spread to the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect.
The Nascent Soul Stage cultivators of these two forces didn’t dare approach the Zhou Family Mountain Gate but deliberately arranged for many Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators to gather intelligence around the Green Lotus Mountain Range, so the information was obtained quickly.
Upon learning that Zhou Chun forced the retreat of three Flood Dragon Kings after just exchanging two moves with the King Fire Flood Dragon, they were all greatly astonished, finding it incredibly unbelievable.
"How did he do it? That’s a Fifth-Order Superior King Fire Flood Dragon! Even if I were to fight it outside my mountain gate, being able to retreat unscathed would be an extraordinary performance. How did he manage to repel it?"
Yinyue True Person, shocked, exclaimed in disbelief at the intelligence in his hand, his eyes filled with awe.
In the past, when King Fire Flood Dragon led an attack on the Moon Wheel Sect mountain gate, he personally fought against it and was extremely clear about its strength.
If Zhou Chun had exhausted all his means and barely escaped from King Fire Flood Dragon, Yinyue wouldn’t have been this shocked, at most merely surprised at Zhou Chun’s actual strength.
However, the current intelligence left him bewildered, feeling he couldn’t understand this young junior at all.
Repeatedly, Zhou Chun’s performance broke his cognitive limits, making him feel truly aged and unable to comprehend the young people of today!
In contrast to Yinyue True Person’s shock and confusion, Ziyang True Person felt both shock and fear.
Although Ziyang True Person had not fought against King Fire Flood Dragon, he knew that if he encountered the King Fire Flood Dragon, he would be defeated and injured after just a few moves, with less than a thirty percent chance of successfully escaping!
Yet Zhou Chun now managed to repel the three Flood Dragon Kings led by King Fire Flood Dragon after exchanging only two moves!
This kind of achievement inevitably filled Ziyang True Person, who had already clashed with Zhou Chun, with fear.
He knew he was no match for Zhou Chun, but now it seemed he wasn’t even close!
"What should I do about this, what should I do!!"
