The Fierce God Pool!
This is the most terrifying forbidden area of the Heavenly Dog Clan, little known to most.
How did he find out?
And they even know how to utilize this forbidden area!
This demon knows everything about the Heavenly Dog Clan!
Zhou Ran's gaze turned slightly cold.
Lu Xiuluo laughed and said, "Oh dear, why are you so nervous? I was just casually flipping through a book when I came across a name and discovered that this person was still alive, so I became curious and did some research."
Zhou Ran's expression was cold. "What did you find out?"
Lu Xiuluo shrugged. "There are criminals in the Fierce God Pool, that's all."
"Yes, there is one, and a very powerful criminal at that. You want him to help us? You'd better give up on that idea. His body is rotten, and he's been suppressed to the point that only his soul remains."
"I am very curious about this person. Would Your Majesty please tell me more about him?"
Lu Xiuluo reached out, and in his sharp claws lay a gleaming silver stone.
Endless energy emanated from the stone.
Even Zhou Ran, who was at the Immortal Ascension Realm Sixth Stage, felt his spirit tremble.
So powerful!
He could sense that once this energy was unleashed, it would be enough to kill countless Immortal!
That was breathtaking energy!
"To cooperate with you, we must show some sincerity. The energy within this Ancestral Buddha Relic should be able to bring that person back to life, right?"
Lu Xiuluo laughed.
Zhou Ran was shocked that the former had actually used such a heaven-defying treasure to revive the Heavenly Dog Clan!
This shows considerable sincerity.
Zhou Ran said, "The most insane and greatest person in the history of the Heavenly Dog Clan is suppressed at the Fierce God Pool. He is the last guardian deity of the Heavenly Dog Clan and also the first demon of the Heavenly Dog Clan!"
"Ten thousand years ago, he fell into the demonic path and slaughtered tens of thousands of his people. To protect the safety of the entire clan, the late emperor did his best to seal him in the Fierce God Pool, but he was also seriously injured and died a few thousand years ago."
"Ten thousand years have passed, his physical body has turned to ashes, only his soul lingers on. If you hadn't brought it up, I would have long forgotten about him."
Lu Xiuluo listened with great interest.
"Ah, I like this kind of person! What's his name? May I hear it?"
" Zhou Zhulu."
"Zhu Lu, what a magnificent name!"
"There's just one problem: he was already Human Immortal 100,000 years ago. If he were to be reborn now, his power would only be even more terrifying. Can we control him?"
"You're afraid of Human Immortal? If you're unwilling, I'll find someone else. Let King Kan return and let the truth come out!"
Lu Xiuluo sneered and turned to leave.
"Alright, revive him!"
Zhou Ran thought for a moment and then made his decision.
A Immortal Grade helper—that's a temptation no one could resist.
He feared his clansmen would turn against him!
After all, Zhou Jin's abilities far surpassed his!
Therefore, he needs Zhou Zhulu, a powerful fighter, to kill Zhou Jin!
Zhou Ran and Lu Xiuluo headed towards the Fierce God Pool, an absolute forbidden zone for the Heavenly Dog Clan, where an interlocking Formation was set up to prevent accidents.
The two stopped in front of a stone cave with a large black door above it, decorated with eerie red patterns.
These patterns contain ghosts, jade, candles, chains, and other elements, which seem to be slowly moving as if they are alive, forming a picture to ward off evil spirits.
Zhou Ran stretched out his palm and pushed open the gate to the Soul-Suppressing Gate.
A thick purple mist billowed out.
Just as the two were about to go inside, someone came over—a man covered in blood, his skin torn and bleeding.
Zhou Ran looked over.
Lie Feng!
He was somewhat surprised.
This was his most trusted general; how did he end up in such a state after just one trip?
Who hurt him?!
Zhou Ran's expression immediately changed.
Lie Feng knelt down with a thud. "It's King Kan! I encountered him outside the clan! I joined forces with the Golden Lion Clan and used the King-Trapping Formation, but we were still no match for him and lost seven men!"
Zhou Ran frowned. "He's now at the Immortal Ascension Realm Tenth Stage, so you're naturally no match for him. But why did he let you go?"
He sent word to you that he has returned!
"What?"
"He has a mount that's incredibly fast; he should have been back in the tribe yesterday!"
"Yesterday?"
Zhou Ran's expression changed slightly.
If Zhou Jin is fast on his feet and returned yesterday, then why hasn't there been any word from him?
Why doesn't he come looking for me?
As he pondered, an elderly man with a short beard and gray clothes appeared, his brow furrowed with urgency.
Third Heavenly Venerable!
"Your Majesty, Zhou Jin is in the Imperial City!"
These seven short words were so incredibly powerful at that moment!
They've arrived!
We absolutely cannot let him cause trouble in the capital!
Zhou Ran felt his Qi and Blood rush to his head. He left the Third Heavenly Venerable here to accompany Lu Xiuluo into the Fierce God Pool to revive Zhou Zhulu, while he himself took Lie Feng and rushed to the Imperial City.
At the same time.
The imperial city, spanning millions of acres, was teeming with people, who gathered in a vast square.
In the center of the field, a giant white kite hovered in the air, and three people flew down from the kite.
Zhou Jin!
Tun Chen!
Xu Chengming!
"It's that traitor!"
"And the Great Celestial Venerable, how did he bring the traitors along!"
" King Kan has arrived!"
"Bah! They've already seized power, and they still call themselves 'King Kan '!"
"Tch, this stupid pig is enjoying being fooled!"...
The crowd erupted in excitement.
This was accompanied by huge controversy.
Zhou Jin's arrival caused a sensation among the Heavenly Dog Clan.
One after another, figures flew towards the square.
They stood in places, some bright and some dark, quietly observing from afar.
Some, unable to contain their emotions, went straight up onto the stage, like that purple-robed prime minister!
Yesterday, Zhou Jin and his group returned to their clan and went directly to the Prime Minister's residence. They had a long talk all night, analyzing the pros and cons, and only today did they confidently appear in the capital.
Whew~
Returning to his clan's home again and seeing the scene there, Zhou Jin felt a strange mix of emotions.
Melancholy, sorrow, and excitement!
This time, he is determined to clear his name.
He wanted to tear away the embellished lies and use the bloody truth to cleanse the blinded eyes of his people!
His heart was pounding.
Xu Chengming to the side, had eyes like an eagle and an expressionless face.
Tun Chen stood behind the two, his face blank. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes revealing emptiness.
"Traitor, you dare to come back!"
Suddenly, an angry voice rang out.
Zhou Ran is here!
Behind him followed the heavily injured Lie Feng, as well as some important figures such as the Second Heavenly Venerable and the Imperial Preceptor.
"Don't you feel guilty uttering the words 'traitor' from your mouth, my dear brother?"
Zhou Jin raised his narrow eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, as if he wanted to pierce through Zhou Ran's soul!
"The traitor is confusing right and wrong again!"
"It was your three hundred personal guards who attempted to assassinate the emperor. They only obeyed your orders. Without your authorization, how could they have been so audacious!"
The Second Heavenly Venerable angrily rebuked.
Xu Chengming immediately retorted with a cold laugh, "Second brother, whether those guards are His King Kan is still debatable, isn't it?"
What do you mean by that?
What do you think it means?
"You mean the rebellion of the imperial guards is His Majesty's intention?"
Isn't that what you mean?
Xu Chengming and the Third Heavenly Venerable engaged in a small-scale tug-of-war over "meaning".
More and more people from the surrounding tribes gathered.
People were whispering among themselves!
They initially thought Zhou Jin was a traitor plotting to usurp the throne, but now he appears openly and honestly in the clan. Coupled with recent negative comments about the royal family, this has caused the clan members to waver.
Is Zhou Jin trying to seize power...?
Or is it Zhou Ran Qianjiwang, using someone to kill them after they've served their purpose?
The people also need the truth!
