Jellyfish Holy Son, Lurking Sect

The Caobang leader, Liu Changlong, appeared. Luo Zhou didn't hesitate, staff in hand, unleashing Nine Bulls' Strength. His dharma eye locked on, Dragon-Slaying Thrust, thrown!

But, in an instant, an invisible force emerged.

It was as if a current flowed around him, a current that made everything like duckweed, unable to rise.

His Dragon-Slaying Thrust motion was incomplete, suddenly lacking any leverage, making it impossible to throw.

The Caobang leader, Liu Changlong, escaped through a tunnel, appearing within a few feet of Luo Zhou.

He directly entered Luo Zhou's Dragon-Slaying Thrust range. Unlike previous enemies who slowly entered Luo Zhou's casting range, giving him time to throw.

The two faced each other, casting simultaneously.

Qi Refining stage is definitely faster than Body Tempering stage!

Liu Changlong unleashed his Qi Refining stage characteristic, True Energy Weak Water. Weak Water Duckweed, preventing Luo Zhou from using Dragon-Slaying Thrust.

Luo Zhou frowned. This is bad.

He slowly said, "Overturning Rivers and Seas, giant waves reaching the heavens!"

Consuming one Tidal Qi!

Boom, infinite giant waves rose around him, endless floods appeared, forming massive waves that carried a fierce, domineering power, destroying everything.

But Liu Changlong said, "Three thousand weak waters, not even a goose feather can float!"

He also used Spiritual Power. Calm water currents appeared around them, undisturbed. Luo Zhou's Overturning Rivers and Seas, under this Spiritual Power, gradually dissipated and vanished.

Luo Zhou was shocked. This is over!

Unexpectedly, Liu Changlong suddenly bowed towards Luo Zhou.

"Disciple, Liu Changlong, greets the Holy Son of the Sect!"

What the hell?

Luo Zhou was stunned and asked, "What Sect Holy Son?"

"Holy Son, stop pretending. I've already sensed the Spiritual Power you used and the Tidal Qi you commanded.

Furthermore, our Magical Power is of the same origin. I also sensed that you are only at the Body Tempering realm, yet you possess Heavenly Water Qi, Heavy Water Energy, and Tidal Qi. These are the three top-tier water energies of my Heavenly Palace.

Ordinary disciples of my Heavenly Palace can only cultivate one top-tier water energy.

Only the Holy Son can cultivate multiple top-tier water energies without distinction or condition!

If you are not the Holy Son, then who is!"

Luo Zhou was speechless. His eyes darted, and he slowly said:

"Myriad waters shine, profound origin grants eternal life, nine turns of the Milky Way, Heavenly Mother supreme!"

Reciting the Water Mother Heavenly Palace's poetic chant he had just heard.

Liu Changlong immediately responded, reciting the chant along with him.

"Myriad waters shine, profound origin grants eternal life, nine turns of the Milky Way, Heavenly Mother supreme!"

Luo Zhou continued:

"I have a great mission, to lie low in this Cuiwei City, using it to enter the Heaven and Earth Dao Sect.

My information is absolutely confidential, which is why I have never contacted you. But I know you.

I saw the battle erupting as I passed by just now, so I came to check the situation. What exactly happened?"

Luo Zhou's words carried an air of authority, trying to bluff the other party to death!

Liu Changlong said:

"Holy Son, I have been lying low here for fifteen years. My core mission is to obey the orders of your guardian and protect you.

Although I am only an outer auxiliary and do not know who the Holy Son truly is, I will definitely act if you are in danger.

Five years ago, when something happened on your end, I had no choice but to trigger the sea beast attack on the city, creating chaos so that your guardian could erase all traces!"

Luo Zhou was stunned. What did that mean?

Besides his own fake Holy Son identity, there was actually a real Water Mother Heavenly Palace Holy Son lurking in Green Ridge City?

And the sea beast attack that killed his parents was even caused by them?

Luo Zhou's expression turned grim.

The fierce battle raged on. The two water giants had already been defeated, with only one water giant still holding on.

Liu Changlong dispersed his water energy and continued, "Holy Son, this time I cannot escape. The enemy's Fire Crow Army has already been dispatched."

"A disciple's death is insignificant."

"But I have a grievance to report to you.

Besides lying low to protect you, I have another mission: to be a sacrifice for the sect."

I've been sacrificing for fifteen years. Recently, I really couldn't bring myself to kill these innocent children.

Last month, I reported to my superior that I wanted a transfer. My superior readily agreed, saying I'd be transferred in three months.

But this month, during the sacrifice, the constables showed up!

They set me up to get rid of me!

They betrayed the sect, abused their power for personal gain, and took bribes. I'm reporting this, please, Holy Son, administer justice for me.

Luo Zhou nodded and said, "I understand. Liu Changlong, you've dedicated everything to the sect for fifteen years, worked hard, and been loyal. I know all of it. I will report truthfully to the sect. As for your superior, I will..."

At this point, Luo Zhou suddenly threw his weapon, activating Dragon-Slaying Thrust.

Forget all that other stuff. If the other party withdraws their true energy, then they die. As for his superior, as the true Holy Son, he'll kill this scoundrel first, then deal with other matters.

Liu Changlong was listening excitedly, completely unprepared. A spear pierced his eye, then his head exploded. Death! Blood, brain matter, and shattered bone sprayed everywhere!

Luo Zhou said coldly:

"Woodworm Devil Liu Changlong, for slaughtering the weak and massacring children, you are unforgivable! Your evil deeds are numerous and deserve punishment!"

"He who does much injustice will perish by it!"

He didn't take anything from Liu Changlong's body, because the constables would soon arrive. Taking anything could lead to them tracking him.

Luo Zhou immediately turned and prepared to leave. But as he walked away, he felt as if countless children were crawling towards him. They were Dead Spirits, and they seemed to be laughing joyfully, extremely happy. Liu Changlong had killed too many children. As for the other Woodworm Devils, even though they killed people, their souls were devoured by Dead Spirits at the last moment, and Luo Zhou couldn't sense it. This time, Luo Zhou could feel it.

Luo Zhou quickly left. Liu Changlong's soul found it hard to believe he had died just like that, but he smiled.

"Good. With the sect's Holy Son making such a decision, our Water Mother Heavenly Palace is bound to prosper!"

"Fifteen years of hard work were worth it!"

Looking at the approaching children, he showed no remorse!

"I killed you for the sect. Come, take revenge if you have a grudge. I'm not afraid!"

In this silence, he was slowly devoured by the Dead Spirits. Evil meets its reward!

Luo Zhou hurried away. From here to the Caobang battlefield was only a few steps. Boom, the last giant there was also shattered. But Luo Zhou quickly disappeared. This was an escape route arranged by Liu Changlong, naturally designed cleverly to avoid being intercepted.

Luo Zhou hurried away. Today was the first of the month, and he had to go to the Daoist Academy.

Upon arriving at the Daoist Academy, the lecture hadn't started yet. He smiled. Killing Liu Changlong... only one old Crocodile Dragon was left! But, the Holy Son Liu Changlong mentioned? Was there really a Holy Son of the Water Mother Heavenly Palace here? His purpose here, was it really as he said, to infiltrate the Heaven and Earth Dao Sect? Otherwise, what was he doing here? He looked around. Could it be Zuo Sanguang? Or Senior Brother Cui Jian? Zhang Quan was absolutely impossible!

While Luo Zhou was lost in thought, within the classroom, those who were quick to get news had already received it.

"Something happened at Caobang. It's said some transported Devilish Creatures broke free."

"The Fire Crow Army was even dispatched. A major battle."

"Many people died. It seems the Caobang gang leader also died."

"Who was the Caobang gang leader?"

"Called Liu Changlong. An ordinary cultivator, an honest man, unremarkable."

"It's not just him who died. It's said four constables died too: Yan Ruoyi, Chi Yu, Wang Ying, Wu Lihui, and over fifty constables..."

"Good heavens, what kind of Devilish Creature was that, so powerful!"

The sect and government don't publicize the Water Mother Heavenly Palace externally, so they could only say Devilish Creatures escaped to cover it up.

Amidst everyone's discussion, Elder Wang floated into the classroom.

"Silence, focus!"

There are one year and five months left until the Liang Kingdom's Ascension Ceremony. Don't worry about other external matters; you must seize this time to cultivate.

Participating in the sect's Ascension Ceremony is the greatest meaning of your lives!

Remember, you only get this chance once a month. Seize the opportunity and cultivate diligently."

As he spoke, Elder Wang silently cast a spell.

"Remember, do not advance to the Qi Refining stage before the Ascension Ceremony. If you advance early, you will be sent back to the Body Tempering stage even if you participate in the ceremony, and you will receive a bad review."

An invisible energy emanated from him, spreading throughout the classroom via artifacts like the lecture hall's platform.

Under the influence of this Blood Qi, Luo Zhou felt goosebumps erupt on his skin, his entire body inexplicably itching.

He immediately began to cultivate. Nothing is more important than his own strength!
