"Supreme Elder, what's wrong? Who sent this Communication Talisman?"
Zhou Daoyi saw his complexion was off and quickly asked about the situation.
"Let's land before we talk."
Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and immediately descended to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun and others had no choice but to follow and land as well.
Once on the ground, Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Jiahe were signaled by Zhou Mingde to guard the perimeter, leaving only Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun behind.
Such behavior made both of them shift uneasily as they seemed to realize something.
Indeed, Zhou Mingde set up a Divine Sense sound barrier and then transmitted to the two, "The Communication Talisman was sent by Lin Hongyu herself. She said that the Red Dragon Hall Master might have left that Burrowing Earth Dragon to deal with us, intending to capture your Green Flood Dragon, Daoyi. Moreover, she also said that both the Red Fire Flood Dragon and she have already gone to Yunzhou, urging us to hurry to Yunzhou as well!"
"What? The Burrowing Earth Dragon is coming to deal with us?"
Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi were both greatly startled, shocked by the sudden news.
Then, panic set in for both of them, especially for Zhou Daoyi, the target of the Burrowing Earth Dragon, who found it even harder to stay calm.
He was just a cultivator who had recently formed his Purple Mansion at the initial stage!
What had he done to deserve the attention of a fourth-order mid-grade Demon Beast personally?
"Although I also feel that this sounds unreliable, Lin Hongyu has so far never given us false information; not to mention, this time she even used a Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman, a treasure, to warn us expressly!"
Having said that, Zhou Ming stepped back and looked at Zhou Daoyi, "Daoyi, you should leave Lanzhou immediately. Only by staying close to those Golden Core Stage cultivators can you prevent the Burrowing Earth Dragon from risking its demise to strike at you!"
"But what pretext should I use to leave Lanzhou? Should I reveal that we already know the Burrowing Earth Dragon is going to strike at me?"
Zhou Daoyi said with a distressed look, clearly flustered.
"You don't need a pretext. Clan Leader, you are simply out on orders to clean up the rampant Demon Beasts, and no one is supervising you. After you make it to the Yunzhou frontline stronghold, even if the seniors from Green Lotus Temple find out, they surely won't blame you for it."
"At worst, you can just say you cannot rest easy about the family cultivators on the Yunzhou frontlines, and that's why you headed there to visit them after confirming Lanzhou was secure!"
Zhou Chun steadied himself and clearly articulated, providing Zhou Daoyi with plausible reasons and excuses.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mingde nodded repeatedly, "Zhengchun is right. Just say that, Daoyi. At times like these, no one will scrutinize it too much."
But Zhou Daoyi at this moment showed an anxious expression, "What if the Burrowing Earth Dragon can't find me and strikes at the family instead?"
"There's nothing we can do about that. If you were here, you wouldn't be able to stop the Burrowing Earth Dragon from attacking the family anyway. Are we supposed to let you just stand up and let it kill you?"
Zhou Mingde responded, patting Zhou Daoyi on the shoulder with an urging hand, "Alright, stop worrying about this and that. Just take good care of yourself. You don't need to worry about the family for now. Hurry and go!"
Seeing this, Zhou Chun also hurried him, "Yes, Clan Leader, please hurry. Perhaps the Burrowing Earth Dragon will leave Lanzhou once it knows you've left!"
"Alright, then I'll go first. Take care of yourselves too!"
Zhou Daoyi gritted his teeth, stood up, and bowed to Zhou Mingde, then mounted his flood dragon and soared away towards Yunzhou.
