Chapter 1393: Chapter 562: The Missing Zhou Yuanlian [Subscribe Requested]_3

Up to now, the Zhou Family has had several clan members with poor Spirit Root Aptitude who chose to cultivate the Tome of Thousand Poisons, but none have been able to persist until the Late Stage Qi Training, and those who failed were all killed by the backlash of their Poison Techniques.

In this situation, Zhou Yuanlian, who has already reached Mid Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, holds an irreplaceable role.

Fortunately, due to Zhou Yuanlian’s importance, Zhou Chun has always imposed strict requirements on her excursions, requiring her to report her destination and expected return time.

Therefore, when it is necessary to find her, it’s not like a headless fly frantically searching everywhere.

According to the information left by Zhou Yuanlian herself, she went to a place called Redflame Valley in Jinzhou this time, looking for certain poisonous herbs and insects that only grow there.

Jinzhou is the territory of the Sunflame Sect, adjacent to Yanzhou and Cangzhou, and is a relatively barren and desolate region.

There is not even a single Golden Core family in this state, only three major cultivation clans lead the local Cultivation World, and the Zhou Family sent an Elder to lead a team to this place, which is already sufficient to not fear any forces here.

However, Zhou Chun did not expect that Zhou Xinyan and others who were sent to Jinzhou would search for half a month without finding any trace of Zhou Yuanlian.

According to the eagle messages sent back from the intelligence outpost, they have almost turned over that Redflame Valley and the surrounding region, but still failed to spot any sign of Zhou Yuanlian.

The only discovery is a battle mark found deep in Redflame Valley, judged by the traces of severe poison corrosion, it should be caused by Zhou Yuanlian.

This indicates that she did indeed go there.

In this situation, Zhou Chun had to personally take action.

He retrieved Zhou Yuanlian’s Soul Tablet from the ancestral shrine and directly took it with him to Redflame Valley in Jinzhou.

Not even a day had passed when Zhou Chun appeared above Redflame Valley.

Zhou Xinyan was still in Redflame Valley at this time, and upon seeing Zhou Chun appear, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Junior greets the Clan Leader, this time the junior failed to accomplish the task, please forgive the junior!"

Zhou Chun, however, had no mind to exchange pleasantries, he just waved and said, "This matter is not your fault, first go gather the clan members, I will now cast a spell to find Xiao Lian’s whereabouts!"

After saying this, he took out Zhou Yuanlian’s Soul Tablet and used it as a medium to perform a secret technique for locating people.

As Zhou Chun cast his spell, the Soul Tablet in front of him began to tremble slightly, then spun in the air, and pointed its arrow in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately grabbed the Soul Tablet and flew in the pointed direction.

Every so often, Zhou Chun would cast his spell again and proceed in the direction indicated by the Soul Tablet.

After performing the spell seven times, he arrived in a mountain range at the border of Jinzhou and Yanzhou.

"This place is more than seven hundred miles from Redflame Valley, Xiao Lian would never have come here on her own; it seems she has been captured by someone!"

"But with her cultivation and strength, capturing her alive without harming her is something even a Purple Mansion Initial Stage Cultivator cannot do. If someone with that level of cultivation exists, why hide in such a desolate place?"

At this thought, Zhou Chun cast the spell once more to determine the exact location of Zhou Yuanlian.

He flashed quickly and soon flew above a red pine forest in the mountains.

Looking down from the sky, the ground below was covered with endless Red Pine Forest, with tall red pine trees reaching tens of feet high.

But in reality, these were all illusions. Someone had placed an exquisite Illusion Array here, and even someone with Purple Mansion cultivation might not see through it easily.

However, Zhou Chun, being a Golden Core Stage Cultivator with a Divine Sense stronger than an average Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, naturally saw through this Illusion Array as if it didn’t exist, immediately seeing its true form.

Though he saw through the Illusion Array easily, it didn’t mean he could directly enter without alerting the Cultivators within.

Such a sophisticated Illusion Array has an alert function; if someone enters, an alarm would sound.

Worried about Zhou Yuanlian’s safety, Zhou Chun dared not rashly break into the array.

After observing from the outside for a while, he withdrew temporarily and went to find Zhou Xinyan and other family juniors.

Under Zhou Chun’s arrangement, Zhou Xinyan and others slowly searched along the way and gradually approached the vicinity of the Red Pine Forest.

Next, through a "happy accident," Zhou Xinyan and others discovered the existence of the Illusion Array and joined forces to break it.

As Zhou Chun expected, when they saw only Zhou Xinyan, a Purple Mansion Initial Stage Cultivator, attacking the formation, the person inside immediately appeared to capture them.

But what surprised Zhou Chun was that the Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator who came out of the Red Pine Forest was actually wearing the robe of the Sunflame Sect!

"What’s going on? Why would someone from the Sunflame Sect want to capture Xiao Lian?"

Zhou Chun’s face darkened, feeling the complexity of the situation.

But when he moved to take action, there was no hesitation.

He quickly appeared and directly used the United Heart Golden Lock secret technique to seal the cultivation of the Sunflame Sect Cultivator, preventing them from sending a warning for reinforcements.

After capturing the person, Zhou Chun carried the ugly-looking Sunflame Sect Cultivator into the formation.

Though he didn’t have the token to pass through, without being affected by the Illusion Array, he naturally passed through it easily into the interior.

The inside of the Illusion Array was not a red pine forest but a mountain peak planted with a large number of Hexagonal Fire Maple Spirit Wood, and the Spiritual Energy density was no less than Jiufeng Ridge of the Zhou Family.

Besides the ugly Sunflame Sect man captured by Zhou Chun, there were also several low and middle tier disciples of the Sunflame Sect.

Due to the sudden capture of the ugly Sunflame Sect man, these disciples were still in a dazed state and had not yet come to their senses.

Zhou Chun saw this and immediately understood that this must be a resource point of the Sunflame Sect.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly shouted loudly, "I am Zhou Zhengchun, Clan Leader of the Spirit Beast Zhou Family. There’s no need to panic, my being here today has nothing to do with you all, so continue as usual!"
