Chapter 303 Killing the Second Sister!

The blade, crackling with lightning, collided with Zou Min's arms, and endless lightning exploded from her body, the earth-shattering sound causing the entire cave to tremble, and countless stalactites fell from the cave ceiling as a result.

Zou Min felt a sudden tingling and numbness in her arms and body, but the pain only lasted for a moment. Her body fell uncontrollably, and when she regained her senses, she found that her arms had been severed, the wounds charred from the electric shock, and she was clearly incapacitated!

In an instant, her heart and lungs stopped; overwhelming fear gripped her heart, causing her to scream uncontrollably, "Ah—!"

She was terrified. She couldn't understand, she couldn't comprehend what was happening. All she knew was that she was about to die!

How could a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment sever both of her arms and leave her unable to move due to the electric shock?

She couldn't understand; everything before her shattered her worldview. The unknown was the most terrifying thing. At this moment, she didn't want anything else but to survive and escape!

But ahead, Yun Chu'an had already risen into the air once more, his cold eyes fixed on the raised Guan Dao. A surge of intense fear gripped Zou Min's heart, and the venomous snake hastily cried out, "I surrender!"

"I'm willing to be your slave, your slave! Spare me, please spare me—"

She screamed, cried out, and begged for mercy in such a pitiful way, but just as she had not intended to let Yun Chu'an and Weihe Longzi go, the latter now had no intention of letting her go either.

The next instant, his body slashed down from the sky again, leaving a long, blinding trail of lightning behind him. The sharp blade sliced ​​directly across Zou Min's neck, and golden lightning then engulfed her like a tidal wave.

Her head rolled to the ground, and her body was completely turned into a charred, dried-up corpse, no longer posing any threat.

"call……"

Yun Chu'an landed on the ground, leaning on his Guan Dao with one hand, kneeling on one knee, sweat beading on his forehead, panting heavily.

His limbs were spasming and trembling. The pressure from just using "Three Thousand Springs" was too great, leaving him unable to move for the moment.

Such severe side effects filled him with lingering fear. Fortunately, he had already mastered a lightning technique; otherwise, let alone using it to kill enemies, this side effect alone would likely have cost him his life!

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Despite the many coincidences involved, he still succeeded in the end.

His former second sister, the Green Snake Spirit Zou Min, a powerful cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was also killed by him. At this moment, no one can threaten his safety anymore.

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, and enduring the intense fatigue in his body, Yun Chu'an stood up, turned around, and walked away.

The thunderous sound of war drums still echoed outside the mountain; the yellow python and the bull demons were still locked in battle. This wasn't a safe place yet; he had to leave quickly.

At this moment, deeper inside the cave, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River lay on the ground, his body paralyzed and unable to move at all.

He was extremely anxious. Although thunder and lightning had just appeared in the distance, making it seem like a very intense battle, no one could say for sure what the final outcome would be.

That was a powerful opponent at the late Foundation Establishment stage. With Yun Chu'an's cultivation level, could he really defeat her?

He had no confidence, feeling as if his life was tied to a thin thread, and he was suffering every minute and every second.

Every second felt like an eternity to him; he could do nothing but wait, waiting for fate to pronounce its judgment upon him.

Finally, heavy footsteps sounded, and a tall but familiar figure staggered towards the dark end of the cave in the distance.

It is a place of peace and tranquility.

"You're safe now," Yun Chu'an said in a deep voice as he approached, leaning on his Guan Dao.

At this moment, the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled back into his stomach. With a sense of relief, Weihe Longzi almost burst into tears.

"Brother!" he called out hoarsely, his voice filled with genuine emotion, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Yun Chu'an waved his hand without saying anything, put away his weapon, reached out and lifted him up, carrying him on his shoulder: "Let's go, we're going to the shelter!"

As he spoke, he continued forward along the cave. The cave was indeed a maze of passages with several exits. After walking for a while, a faint light appeared ahead, as if guiding him forward.

He stepped forward, and suddenly the view opened up before him, revealing familiar mountains, vegetation, and rocks, a sight that filled him with joy and delight.

The distant rumble of drums still echoed; the battle between the bull demon and the yellow pythons was far from over. Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on that, he carried the Wei River Dragon Prince on his back and sped towards the new refuge that Zhu Yunqing had told him about.

The new shelter was located in a valley with abundant water and grass. It looked like a small rat hole, but when he walked over and muttered a spell, the rat hole suddenly became two or three meters high.

He carried him inside, where a cave dwelling had already been opened up, with stone beds and tables, as well as a lot of spirit stones and medicines, and signal flares to notify the family.

Yun Chu'an had no shortage of spirit stones, but the poisoned Weihe Dragon Prince desperately needed medicine. He rummaged through the contents for a while and found a few antidote pills. Not knowing if they were the right ones, he fed them all to the Weihe Dragon Prince.

Only then did he launch the signal flare and sound it into the sky. An invisible spiritual force surged upwards, forming a strange code in the heavens. Only those who possessed the relevant information could decipher it—what did it all mean?

After doing all this, he finally had a moment of peace. He returned to the shelter, took out his low-grade spirit stones, piled them around him, and meditated to restore his spiritual power.

Only at this moment did he suddenly realize just how sparse and weak the spiritual energy contained within a low-grade spirit stone truly was. He was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and using it for cultivation was like a severely dehydrated person on the verge of dying of thirst trying to drink water from a bottle cap the size of a thumb. Even if he could barely sustain his life, he didn't know how long it would take to recover.

Low-grade spirit stones are already far from enough for me.

We need to develop some new industries to generate a massive amount of mid-grade spirit stones.

Such a thought popped into his mind, but there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he could only continue using low-grade spirit stones to restore his spiritual power.

Just then, on the bed, Weihe Longzi seemed to have regained some strength. He raised his head, looked at Yun Chuan with worried eyes, and suddenly said, "Brother Yun, I have a favor to ask of you."

Yun Chu'an, who was meditating, was startled and opened his eyes: "What? You said that if I can do it, I will definitely help you."

"It's just that..." Weihe Dragon Prince seemed a little embarrassed to say, "The 'Three Thousand Springs' attack method is a secret of my Yellow River Dragon Clan that is not passed down. Theoretically, it should never be obtained by outsiders."

“Brother Yun has been kind to me, so naturally I will not advise you to give up this method. I only hope that you can use it as little as possible and not talk about it to outsiders. If anyone asks about it in the future, just say that you figured it out by chance. After all, you are proficient in thunder magic. I will help you cover for it and turn a blind eye to it, and it will pass.”

He sighed and said, "Otherwise, it won't be easy for my father and me to do things with our ancestral home in the Yellow River Dragon Clan."

Yun Chu'an suddenly realized, and then nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I promise you, I will never tell anyone that I have mastered this method. If anyone asks, I will say that the thunder technique is from my own family, the sword technique was taught by Yan Shui Yi, and I combined the two to achieve this result."

Weihe Longzi said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Brother Yun."

Yun Chu'an continued, "However, if that's the case, brother, you also have to do me a favor."

Long Zi's expression was serious: "You speak."

Yun Chuan said, "The highly venomous green snake spirit just now was named Zou Min. Her relationship with my family is complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time."

"Always, if anyone asks about her death, just say that you killed her by chance using 'Three Thousand Springs,' and that it has nothing to do with me."

Chapter 304 The Eldest Sister's Appreciation and Suspicion

Yun Chu'an said this, but he also had his own concerns.

He is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he is already able to kill cultivators at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. What will happen when he breaks through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment?

Those who want to harm him are probably having trouble sleeping.

Yun Chu'an was wary of You Wensi. As his cultivation level improved, he could sense that You Wensi's plan to harm him was not far off, and he had to be on guard.

I absolutely cannot let her know that I have gained such power that I can threaten her life.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to give her a surprise she wouldn't even dare to dream of!

He intended to keep this a secret, but Weihe Longzi, naturally without any qualms, readily agreed: "Alright! This blood debt is on me. Anyone who wants revenge, let them come to Weihu Lake to find me!"

He was of course unaware of Yun Chuan's concerns and assumed that Yun was afraid of retaliation, so he immediately agreed.

Yun Chu'an smiled and nodded, then closed his eyes and continued meditating to recover. Time passed slowly, and before he could wait long, the shelter's door suddenly opened, and a tall woman rushed in like a gust of wind: "Chu'an?"

That was Ye Jinglan's voice.

She called out and rushed into the cave. Her eyes swept across the cave and she immediately saw Yun Chu'an, who was barely safe, and Weihe Longzi, who was still lying on the bed, unable to move.

Realizing who was lying on the bed, her reddened peach blossom eyes widened in disbelief: "You rescued the dragon prince?!"

On the bed, Yun Chu'an, who was meditating, belatedly opened his eyes. Looking at his eldest sister, whose face was full of disbelief, he smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Yes, today the Black Bulls suddenly attacked the Yellow Python family. You heard the drumbeats, didn't you, eldest sister?"

Ye Jinglan nodded; of course she heard it. Then she heard Yun Chuan say, "Because of the Black Bull family's actions, the blockade set up by the Yellow Python family was basically destroyed. I judged that this should be an opportunity, so I took Long Zi and forced our way through to get here."

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we were lucky enough to break through the blockade, so I brought him here."

There was no smugness in his tone; on the contrary, there was more relief than pride. Behind him, a wisp of green smoke transformed into a whirlwind and entered the shelter as well. Zhu Yunqing had also caught his signal and sped here, having heard his words.

Her face was filled with shock, unable to believe that he had so easily brought out the Wei River Dragon Prince, whom so many people had been helpless against.

After her initial surprise, Ye Jinglan burst into laughter: "Well done, kid! You're amazing! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're sure to achieve something extraordinary in the future!"

Although Yun Chuan made it sound easy, how could Ye Jinglan, a battle-hardened warrior, not imagine the difficulty involved?

How difficult would it be to escape from the battlefield of two major powers, possibly even one of which is personally attacked by a Golden Core expert, while carrying a burden?

If they are not careful, they could end up dying together.

However, Yun Chu'an actually had the courage to do such a dangerous thing, and he actually succeeded. This ability amazed Ye Jinglan, and her eyes were filled with admiration when she looked at him.

She stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped him hard on the shoulder, not holding back her praise: "Well done!"

Yun Chu'an suddenly grimaced: "Ouch... Big sister, be gentle, it hurts!"

Having just fought head-on with Hei Niu and Zou Min, and even used the "Three Thousand Springs" technique which inflicted heavy damage on both sides, he had strained all the muscles in his body. Before, he was so tense and excited that he didn't have the energy to care about these injuries. Now that he had relaxed, Ye Jinglan's pat on the head caused him to be in unbearable pain.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunqing, who was still immersed in shock and unable to extricate herself, was immediately brought back to her senses when she heard him cry out in pain. Her eyes filled with heartache: "You... why didn't you tell us before you took action? We could have come to your aid!"

As she spoke, she hurried over, took out healing pills from her storage bag, fed them to him, lit an incense stick, and placed it around him, saying, "This is a medicine for qi therapy. Relax your mind and body and breathe slowly. You're not poisoned, are you? If it's just a superficial injury, you'll recover quickly."

Yun Chuan said, "It's alright, I wasn't poisoned. But Long Zi seems to have been poisoned. His hands and feet are numb and he can't move."

Zhu Yunqing didn't care about Weihe Longzi's condition at all; all she could see was Yun Chuan, who was currently suffering from pain.

Ye Jinglan wasn't too worried about him. Seeing that he was still lively and energetic, she knew he was alright. She turned around, walked to the side of the Weihe Dragon Prince lying down, looked down at him, frowned, silently chanted a spell, stared at him for a while, and suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Is this Zou Min's poison?"

These words immediately made Zhu Yunqing's heart leap: "You ran into Zou Min? How did you escape?"

Yun Chu'an dared not look directly into her worried eyes, lowered his head and said, "Long Zi and I worked together to kill her."

Ye Jinglan turned around abruptly and looked at him: "Killed him?!"

Her voice was filled with undisguised shock. She knew better than anyone how troublesome it was to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Yet Yun Chu'an was only an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Weihe Dragon Prince was clearly injured. Could the two of them really kill Zou Min?

On the bed, Weihe Longzi immediately said, "I killed her. Brother Yun created an opportunity for me, so I used my family's secret technique, 'Three Thousand Springs,' and killed her on the spot."

As he spoke, he gave a bitter smile: "But because of this, I am poisoned and cannot move now. I am very grateful to Brother Yun for bringing me here."

Zhu Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, showing no suspicion. Ye Jinglan, however, narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over him.

"Oh, I see, I see." She nodded slightly, her tone somewhat perfunctory. "But you're quite lucky. She probably didn't intend to kill you. This isn't her most potent poison. I have the antidote here; take it first."

She took out a pill and handed it to him. After he swallowed it, he immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, which greatly relieved the numbness in his hands and feet. His spiritual energy also started to circulate again and was no longer sluggish.

He breathed a sigh of relief and sat up: "Thank you. That woman really didn't intend to kill me. Judging from her actions, it seems she planned to capture me alive and then use my blood to complete her transformation together with those yellow pythons."

Ye Jinglan smiled gently: "I'm afraid that given her personality, she wouldn't have captured you to go back and share the dragon blood with the Yellow Pythons, but rather to enjoy it all by herself—but it doesn't matter anyway, she's dead now. Thank you, Mr. Dragon Prince, for helping these mountains get rid of a menace."

Her tone was cheerful, and her attitude made Weihe Longzi feel flattered. Then, Ye Jinglan didn't delay any longer and turned to leave: "Can you walk now? We only have emergency supplies here, which can't completely cure the poison in your body. Come on, let's go back to Huai Mountain first. There are more complete medicines there that can help you heal your injuries."

Weihe Longzi got up and followed her with difficulty. Yun Chuan also got up from the bed. His injury was obviously less serious, but Zhu Yunqing still carefully supported him with a worried look on her face, as if she was worried that he would fall if he walked like this.

Yun Chu'an was both amused and exasperated by her cautious manner. He quickly said, "I can walk," which made her reluctantly let go of his hand, and then they walked out together.

Chapter 305 Fourth Sister's Reward (A Long Chapter of 10,000 Words)

The four of them set off together. Ye Jinglan took the lead, riding the storm back to Huai Mountain, with the other three following closely behind. There were no further incidents along the way, and when they returned to Huai Mountain smoothly, they found that Ye Jinglan, who had returned earlier, had already prepared guest rooms and medicine.

She arranged for the Wei River Dragon Prince to stay inside, gave him medicine, and some mid-grade spirit stones. She instructed him to meditate and regulate his breathing in the room to heal his injuries and eliminate the toxins. Once the poison was completely neutralized, he could return to the Wei River Dragon Palace.

The dragon prince of the Wei River was filled with gratitude. He was not surprised by the arrangement. After taking the medicine, he secluded himself in his guest room to meditate and regulate his breathing.

After settling him in, Ye Jinglan then pulled Yun Chuan and Zhu Yunqing back to his small room and closed the door.

Then, this dashing woman crossed her arms and looked at him with a half-smile in her captivating eyes: "Alright, he's gone. Now you can tell the truth, right?"

Zhu Yunqing was puzzled for a moment: "What's going on?"

She was so concerned that she lost her composure, and she never doubted Yun Chu'an in the slightest.

Ye Jinglan, on the other hand, was more rational and saw through the truth of the matter at a glance: "Don't ask yet, let him talk."

Yun Chu'an gave a wry smile: "Big sister, you figured it out?"

Ye Jinglan immediately laughed: "This Weihe Dragon Prince is young and his strength is simply not good enough. With his limited abilities and his current weakened state, how could he possibly kill Zou Min, who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage? If he had that ability, he shouldn't have been captured by those two giant snakes at Weihu that day."

Although she also disliked Zou Min, Ye Jinglan had a clear understanding of the latter's strength. She knew that with the abilities of that green snake, it was impossible for it to be taken down so easily, so she absolutely did not believe their explanation.

Zhu Yunqing listened with skepticism, turning to look at Yun Chu'an: "What exactly happened?"

Yun Chu'an gritted his teeth secretly, and finally sighed, "Zou Min, I killed her."

Ye Jinglan immediately understood, then revealed a satisfied smile: "Just as I suspected! I guessed it too, kid, you're quite capable!"

She spoke with great eagerness, her big eyes shining with excitement: "When you've recovered from your injury, let's have a match. I really want to see what level you're at now!"

She had expected this result, and now that it was confirmed, she felt a sense of joy and relief.
