Chapter 682: Chapter 349: Successful Escape, Wan’er in Danger [Subscribe Plea]_2

The pure metallic energy that descended upon the Azure Deer brought it as much agony as if it were being cut by a thousand knives, indeed, it calmed down instantly.

Then Zhou Chun lifted his hand and slapped his storage pouch at his waist, taking out a section of a branch.

This branch was chopped down from the main body of the ancient tree of the Wood Charm. It was something he had specifically cut before leaving.

At this moment, he shook the branch and said leisurely, “Good Lu’er, I know you can parasitize in plants. If you don’t want to stay in the net, then parasitize in this branch. That way, I will no longer make you suffer!”

As soon as his words fell, another series of “yo yo” deer cries came from within the net, as the Azure Deer once again rejected his suggestion.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun’s expression grew slightly colder, he couldn’t help but say, “It seems you’ve had too little of a bitter taste and haven’t had enough yet!”

...

After finishing his words, he spread his hand wide, and the golden light surged on his palm as he started to slide it back and forth over the Silver Thread Net.

The Azure Deer inside immediately started crying out in distress, wailing nonstop.

Since its spiritual awakening, it had never suffered such terrible torment and could not bear such pain.

Before even half an hour had passed, it compliantly began to plead for mercy in a low voice.

So Zhou Chun threw the branch into the net, and it immediately parasitized inside.

Once the Wood Charm had parasitized the branch, Zhou Chun quickly placed more than a dozen Sealing Talismans on the branch and then put it into a Profound Iron Box about a zhang long. He then affixed some more Sealing Talismans onto the box.

Indeed, both the iron box and the Sealing Talismans had been found in the storage pouch of a deceased Huang Family Cultivator; they were the items prepared by the Huang Family for capturing the Wood Charm.

Having been sealed in the iron box in this manner, the Wood Charm could no longer establish communication with the outside plants and was unable to escape directly using the Wood Escape Technique.

And if it tried to break the seal, it would surely alert Zhou Chun, giving him ample time to prepare in advance.

After sealing the Wood Charm, Zhou Chun wrapped the Profound Iron Box in cloth and hung it on the back of the Golden Winged Tiger, continuing his journey toward the Yang Kingdom.

This time Zhou Chun did not dare delay at all, he kept moving as his three Spirit Pets took turns flying, swiftly making his way out of Shen Country and into the territory of Dayun Nation, where he had once stayed.

After a brief rest in Dayun Nation, Zhou Chun pressed on again, traveling day and night.

Almost half a month after leaving his family, Zhou Chun successfully arrived in Yang Kingdom.

When he got to the outskirts of the stronghold established by Lin Hongyu, he did not rush to enter the stronghold to find Lin Wan’er but found a spot to release the Messenger Firework used by the Zhou Family for signaling distress. Then he quickly left the site of the firework’s explosion.

Soon after, Zhou Chun saw through the “Insect Puppet Technique” several Foundation Establishment Cultivators from inside the stronghold emerging to investigate the situation.

But to his dismay, despite three Foundation Establishment Cultivators coming out to inquire, there was no sign of Lin Wan’er among them.

Lin Wan’er would naturally recognize the Zhou Family’s Messenger Fireworks!

Her absence undoubtedly indicated one thing: either she was not inside the stronghold at present, or she has perished, or she was being detained with her freedoms restricted!

The first possibility Zhou Chun immediately ruled out because Lin Wan’er would not leave the stronghold at such a time.

Whether Lin Wan’er had perished or was being detained, either scenario was a very bad sign for him.

“It’s always the worry that materializes,” Zhou Chun sighed softly, knowing he could only plan for the long term now.

The urgent matter at hand was to determine whether Lin Wan’er was dead or alive.

If Lin Wan’er had perished, he had nothing more to say; he would just wreak havoc on all parties involved, kill them all, and then turn around to return to his family.

If Lin Wan’er was just being detained, he would need to find a way to contact her and hear her thoughts.

After all, he could not even fully recognize the names of the few Foundation Establishment Cultivators inside the stronghold. Without Lin Wan’er’s assistance, it would be impossible to resolve the situation with the least cost.

Immediately, Zhou Chun turned and left the stronghold area, heading to another nearby Independent Cultivator Stronghold.

“A sly rabbit has three burrows; don’t forget what Lin Wan’er was doing before she joined the Zhou Family!”

Before Lin Hongyu went to the Great Zhou Kingdom to engage in seclusion for her Core Formation, she had sensed something awry at the stronghold and had made some arrangements in advance.

And she had honestly told Zhou Chun and the others about these arrangements when she went to the Zhou Family for help.

Now Zhou Chun was about to seek out the person Lin Wan’er had arranged to first understand the situation.

Zhou Chun arrived near another stronghold more than four hundred miles away, first releasing the sealed Wood Charm outside to be guarded by the Silver Lightning Python, Baibai, before he felt relieved enough to enter into the stronghold.

Outside the stronghold, after a series of inquiries and registration, Zhou Chun was still able to enter smoothly.

Once inside, he feigned meditation in the cultivation area to recover Mana, and after several hours, when it was almost dark, he left the cultivation area and headed to the place inside the stronghold where people set up stalls to trade.

He then glanced over those cultivators’ faces at the stalls and soon walked up to a stall manned by an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, transmitting to him directly, “Hongyu lives in the southern country.”

But he said aloud, “I’ll take all these Golden Needle Grass.”

The middle-aged man’s eyes changed immediately, looking at him with joy.

Then he quickly said, “Alright, junior will pack them up for you right away, that will be fifteen Spirit Coins.”

After saying this, he packed up all the “Golden Needle Grass,” the materials for making talisman paper on the stall, and handed them over to Zhou Chun, who in turn gave him the Spirit Coins.

Zhou Chun left the stronghold soon after.

More than an hour later, in a forest thirty miles away from the stronghold, Zhou Chun and the middle-aged man selling “Golden Needle Grass” met again.

“Tell me, what exactly happened at the stronghold? Why didn’t Taoist Friend Lin Wan’er come to meet me after seeing my signal?”

In the forest, looking at the middle-aged man who had come as promised, Zhou Chun went straight to the point and asked about the situation of Lin Wan’er.

Hearing his question, the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and answered, “Senior is insightful. Just five days ago, Miss Lin suddenly left a letter and a jade box for junior, instructing him to stay undercover, to protect the jade box well, and to wait for a senior who would come to receive it and pass on the jade box to them.”

“And since then, junior has not received any further news from Miss Lin!”

Having said this, he reached out and patted his Storage Pouch at his waist, took out a jade box, and handed it over to Zhou Chun.

This jade box had a special seal on it, only someone like Zhou Chun who knows the spell can open and read it.

When Zhou Chun released the seal, he saw a jade slip and a Token Talisman inside.

He first took the jade slip in his hands and injected his Divine Sense, quickly grasping the situation of Lin Wan’er.

As it turned out, according to the letter from Lin Wan’er, she had detected the abnormal behavior of other Foundation Establishment cultivators at the stronghold a few days ago and was certain that she could no longer leave the stronghold alone.

Thus, she cleverly managed to send out two letters, preparing Zhou Chun for what was to come.

According to Lin Wan’er’s own estimation, before it was certain whether Lin Hongyu would return, those Foundation Establishment cultivators would probably not dare to kill her; at most they would place her under house arrest, cut off her contact with the outside world, and seize control of the stronghold’s management.

She was also prepared to give up the control of the Guardian Great Formation’s Formation Flags in exchange for her own safety.

In the letter, she also told Zhou Chun not to worry about the exposure of the Earth Origin Crystal Jade vein because when she returned from the Zhou Family, she had stopped mining it and had made proper arrangements for the miners.

In the short term, those Foundation Establishment cultivators inside the stronghold would definitely not be able to discover the existence of the Earth Origin Crystal Jade vein.

Last, she had also made arrangements for how to contact and rescue herself.

The Token Talisman inside the jade box was the pass token for the formation in the misty area of the stronghold. With this item, Zhou Chun could easily enter and exit the area without being affected by the formation.

Now, having understood the ins and outs of the situation, Zhou Chun nodded gently to the middle-aged man and said, “Alright, I understand the situation. You continue to lay low for now, and after Taoist Friend Lin comes out, let her contact you.”

Then he left the place.
