Luo Zhou carefully studied methods to kill Liu Changlong.

This was a vicious scheme from Li Haitian, and it seemed flawless.

However, there were still two matters to attend to before that.

Luo Zhou suddenly stood up, quietly left, and headed to the Wang Family.

Within the Wang Family, Liu Jinpeng had been eliminated by Luo Zhou, and it had been quiet ever since, with no one else bothering them.

Luo Zhou arrived at the Wang Family. Following the bald old Wang's instructions:

Behind the house, to the left of the window, twelve steps forward, dig down six feet.

He dug carefully, and indeed, there was something underground.

Luo Zhou unearthed a clay pot.

He refilled the pit he had dug and left with the clay pot.

Next, he followed Li Haitian's memories to find Li Haitian's wealth.

Li Haitian's wealth was not kept at his own home.

Instead, it was in a secret room within a hidden house in the city.

This house was a safe house and refuge that Li Haitian had prepared.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows!

The secret room required a special method to open. Upon opening, there were treacherous crossbow traps and hidden deadly poisons.

However, with Li Haitian's own memories, Luo Zhou perfectly avoided them and retrieved the hidden valuables.

After toiling for more than half the night, Luo Zhou returned home.

He examined the treasures obtained from the old Wang Family.

Inside the clay pot was a yellow cloth bag.

The yellow cloth bag was very old, and the yellow cloth felt as if it would crumble.

He opened the bag and took out an item.

A bead, a gemstone, about the size of a pellet, like a dragon's eye.

Under the lamplight, it was crystal clear, radiant, and shimmered with extraordinary beauty as it slowly rotated.

It was almost transparent, emitting gemstone-like colors, dreamlike and ethereal.

He didn't know what it was, but it was definitely priceless.

The Wang Family must have been a prominent immortal cultivation family back then. Their bloodline itself contained water-based techniques, and with this family heirloom, it was absolutely extraordinary.

Luo Zhou quickly put the gemstone back into the cloth bag, and all its brilliance vanished, hidden away.

This cloth bag was also extraordinary!

Next, he looked at Li Haitian's wealth: a wooden box. Inside were fifty-two jade stones.

The jade stones were crystal clear, about three inches long, one inch wide, and one inch thick, shimmering with the most primitive and purest innate spiritual energy.

Luo Zhou examined them closely and couldn't help but exclaim, "Could these be Spirit Stones?"

These were Spirit Stones. Li Haitian had no wife or children his entire life and had little interest in wealth, earning and spending as he went. But as a constable, he could still save some.

These savings were converted into Spirit Stones and stored.

He took out a Spirit Stone and examined it.

This Spirit Stone wasn't large either. How could it be broken into a thousand Broken Spirits?

Luo Zhou didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from laughing heartily.

This time, after punishing evil, Luo Zhou had bought talismans, leaving him with only two thousand three hundred Broken Spirits. He hadn't expected to suddenly gain fifty-two Spirit Stones, not only recovering his losses but making a huge profit.

Besides the Spirit Stones, there was also an ancient secret manual.

<<<The Azure Waters Flow East to This Return

A cultivation manual. Luo Zhou couldn't help but examine it.

"Myriad waters flow, profound essence forms images, azure waters flow east, the Milky Way turns nine times, essence enters the spirit source, waves soak the setting sun, stretching for ten thousand miles, penetrating spirit light, truly transcending the mundane, long life and eternal vision, heavenly secrets profound..."

A full one hundred and thirty thousand characters, an entire set of cultivation techniques, covering the entire process from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul Realm.

This was a supreme treasure!

To be honest, the cultivation inheritances of the various Daoist sects were very rudimentary.

The Body Tempering stage involved cultivating White Yang, Green Profound, Purple Heavens, Black Nether, and Brown Scale, five great body-tempering techniques. Then, the Qi Refining stage involved cultivating White Yang, Green Profound, Purple Heavens, Black Nether, and Brown Scale, five great Qi Refining techniques.

Simple, and unadorned!

The Devilish Cultivators like Gu Shanhe, Qiu Jun, and Li Feng, whom Luo Zhou had killed, also cultivated these...

Compared to Li Haitian's The Azure Waters Flow East to This Return, he was speechless.

Luo Zhou carefully put it away. He must cultivate this method in the future.

This manual starts from the Qi Refining stage, as if the Body Tempering stage it mentions doesn't even exist.

Luo Zhou can only cultivate this technique after advancing to the Qi Refining stage.

In fact, it can be seen that Wang Family, Li Haitian, and some of his classmates are basically practicing water-based techniques or bloodlines related to water, like Spirituality. Perhaps it's because Green Ridge City is a coastal city that this is the case!

With his gains sorted, Luo Zhou was truly delighted!

It was only June 18th, and upon waking up, it was as if someone reminded him there were fifteen days left. This was truly vexing.

However, he now had a method to deal with Liu Changlong.

He also had a method to deal with the Full Moon Devil!

Luo Zhou woke up early and immediately took action, heading to Caobang.

Every time he came here, Luo Zhou would steer clear, avoiding it as much as possible.

The resentment of countless children filled the entire Caobang headquarters. The accumulated cries and resentments of over a thousand boys and girls had reached a point he could barely endure.

But this time, he had to come.

He silently sensed the resentment of these boys and girls, all for the sake of obtaining one piece of information.

When was Liu Changlong's next sacrifice?

Silently sensing and enduring the pain, Luo Zhou found out. The sacrifice would begin on the first day of next month, and the boys and girls had already been bought and were being kept in a secret chamber.

There were only two days left until the first of next month. That was enough time.

During this period, he had to kill the Full Moon Devil's blood parrot and the Rainy Night Devil's old Crocodile Dragon!

The Full Moon Devil's blood parrot could be dealt with using the method from Li Haitian's memories; it should be fine.

It was only the old Crocodile Dragon that he had no way to deal with currently. If only there was a way to kill it.

With this, all nine Woodworm Devils would be killed, and he could live on safely!

It seemed the future held some light!

Just as Luo Zhou was contemplating, a thunderous boom echoed from the sky, and it began to rain.

Once it rained, it was visible to the naked eye: everyone by the rivers, lakes, and bridges ran quickly, avoiding the area.

Luo Zhou also had to run, but he didn't move to do so.

He touched the two Eyebrow-Level Staffs on his back, wondering if he should try them out?

Then let's try!

Not only did he not run, but he deliberately walked to the riverside and strolled leisurely.

An old man saw this and shouted, "Young man, it's raining, hurry home!"

This was a kind reminder.

But Luo Zhou pretended not to hear and waved his hand in thanks.

The old man shook his head, thinking that even the King of Hell couldn't save a damned soul.

Luo Zhou walked along the river, specifically heading towards the areas filled with Dead Spirits.

That old Crocodile Dragon, over a hundred years, had eaten tens of thousands of people. There should have been Dead Spirits everywhere.

But there weren't that many. Only those mortals eaten in the last thirty years had become Dead Spirits.

Those eaten by it before thirty years ago were no longer Dead Spirits, more like afterimages, blurry and indistinct.

Walking slowly, strolling in the rain, it was quite pleasant.

Luo Zhou arrived at Green-Green Bay, one of the three lakes, seven bays, and twelve bridges!

His Listening ability told him there was something floating in the water ahead.

The object didn't look large, only about a foot long, like a small dog, swimming silently in the water.

But Luo Zhou knew this was the old Crocodile Dragon!

He possessed Spiritual Power that could change his size at will, allowing him to alter his body as he pleased.

As soon as it rained, it would follow the river into the city to eat people!

Luo Zhou remained still, quietly taking out an Invisibility Talisman and activating it. His figure disappeared, blending into the riverside.

The old Crocodile Dragon had already discovered Luo Zhou and quietly approached, intending to eat a tender human cub.

Who would have thought that the human cub would inexplicably disappear?

The old Crocodile Dragon swam towards this area, wondering where the cub went...

In an instant, a flash of light soared into the sky!

He unleashed Dragon-Slaying Thrust, hitting the old Crocodile Dragon's left eye with a single strike.

Both Luo Zhou and the old Crocodile Dragon were greatly shocked!

The Dragon-Slaying Thrust, which was usually invincible and had killed six Woodworm Devils and many Crocodile Dragons, was ineffective this time.

The old Crocodile Dragon was not killed.

It swam in the water as if it were the river itself!

Dragon and Water, One!

Even the most powerful Dragon-Slaying Thrust, couldn't shatter the entire river, thus it couldn't pierce its eyes and enter its brain.

However, the old Crocodile Dragon's eyes were still pierced, bleeding.

Luo Zhou instantly activated the Random Flight Talisman, teleporting a hundred zhang away.

Without the Random Flight Talisman, Luo Zhou wouldn't have taken the risk.

Under the Random Flight Talisman, he precisely left the riverbank and was transported onto the land within the city.

Then, he heard a furious roar from the riverbank.

A colossal Crocodile Dragon, fully ten zhang long, appeared.

In its immense rage, it charged onto land and destroyed whatever it saw.

It stormed into residential buildings, devouring anyone it encountered!

Luo Zhou watched with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He could only turn and flee.

Such rampant destruction immediately triggered the city's bells.

Someone roared in anger:

" Yue Canglong, don't go too far! Don't rely on your master's reputation and think no one dares to touch you. Don't push people around too much!"

Someone flew up into the air. It was Green Ridge City's City Lord Fang Daoqi, stepping forward to expel the old Crocodile Dragon.

But this old Crocodile Dragon actually had a name, Yue Canglong?

And it had a master?

Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner, which is why no one dared to touch it?
