Chapter 448: Chapter 239: No Ticket, No Mercy, Situation Overpowers [Subscribe Please]_2
The Zhou Family didn’t give much time, demanding the relevant items be delivered to Jiufeng Ridge within five days, or else they would kill the hostage!
But if they really followed what Zhang Shi’an said in the jade slip and handed over those items, the loss to the Zhang Family would be tremendous.
Therefore, it was difficult for Zhang Kaida to make the decision alone on whether to follow Zhang Shi’an’s instructions; he had to call an elder council meeting and let all family elders vote on the decision.
However, Zhang Kaida was very clear in his mind that if Zhang Shi’an had indeed fallen into the hands of the Zhou Family, the Zhang Family had no other choice but to obediently pay the ransom to save him.
Indeed, that was the case.

At the Zhang Family’s elder council meeting, the main focus of the elders’ discussion was not whether or not to pay the ransom, but whether the news was true and whether they could negotiate with the Zhou Family to reduce the ransom.
Some even harbored wild hopes, believing that during a time when the whole country was resisting the onslaught of the Beast Tide, the Zhou Family wouldn’t dare to harm a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator like Zhang Shi’an.
They thought that once the three major sects called for the mobilization of Purple Mansion Cultivators from the families for battle again, the Zhou Family would have no choice but to release Zhang Shi’an.
In response to these remarks, Zhang Kaida shook his head, both inwardly and outwardly.
He didn’t think the Zhou Family would be so compliant.
After all, Zhang Shi’an was caught red-handed attacking the Zhou Family, and there was no way to wash that away.
Even if the Zhou Family killed Zhang Shi’an, it would be justified, and no one would be able to say anything.
When the three major sects learned of this, they would at most rebuke the Zhou Family for lacking a sense of the bigger picture and not considering the overall situation.
With such noise and commotion, they failed to reach a definite conclusion about whether to meet the Zhou Family’s terms for ransom.
It wasn’t until the person who went out to gather information returned with news of the Zhou Family’s third-order Green Flood Dragon that all debates came to an abrupt halt.
The Zhou Family was actually hiding a third-order Green Flood Dragon!
When Zhang Kaida heard this news, he too was shocked and horrified.
“No wonder! No wonder at the Hundred Clans Conference, Zhou Daoyi was unwilling to let his Sky Azure Cloud Python Spirit Pet participate in the battle!”
“So, the Zhou Family suddenly drove all outsiders out of their mountain gate because that Sky Azure Cloud Python in the Zhou Family Mountain gate evolved into a third-order Green Flood Dragon?”
A sense of sudden realization rose in Zhang Kaida’s heart, and he understood many of his previous confusions.
Unfortunately, these answers came too late for him now!
If he had known them earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have continued to be enemies with the Zhou Family, and he certainly wouldn’t have thought about seeking revenge against them!
“Damn the Zhou Family! They deliberately hid this information, pretending to be weak to lure our Zhang Family into taking action against them. This was all their conspiracy!”
An elder of the Zhang Family couldn’t help but curse out loud, his face full of anger and fear.
Many people are like that; when they do something wrong, they won’t admit their mistakes and believe it’s others who caused them to err.
The typical blaming of a stinky privy pit when they can’t produce a bowel movement!
But they only dared to curse like this within the Zhang Family.
In fact, the elders of the Zhang Family were all terribly afraid of the Zhou Family in their hearts.
Zhang Kaida noticed this and after collecting his thoughts, he let out a long sigh, “Well, let’s do as the Supreme Elder suggested, consider it spending money to ward off disaster!”
Hearing his words, a few Zhang Family elders looked at each other, no one spoke against it, thus tacitly agreeing.
The situation is stronger than the people, and the Zhou Family indeed had a grip on their weak spot; they had no choice but to compromise.
Moreover, based on the information they had now, even if they did not agree to the Zhou Family’s demands and the Zhou Family did indeed open up their strategy by releasing Zhang Shi’an,
what could the Zhang Family do when the Zhou Family came to settle the total account with them after the war ended?
So after the elder council approved, Zhang Kaida immediately opened the Family Treasure Vault to select items, and together with the donations from Family Cultivators, they managed to gather the ransom within three days.
He then wasted no time and personally led the ransom to Jiufeng Ridge.
When Zhang Kaida arrived at the Zhou Family on Jiufeng Ridge, the Zhou Family was hosting Taoist Mingxia, who had come to visit.
On this occasion, Taoist Mingxia came on behalf of Green Lotus Temple to the Zhou Family to inquire about the third-order Green Flood Dragon.
In the midst of a war with the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan, the sudden emergence of a third-order Green Flood Dragon from the Zhou Family garnered significant attention.
Even though Master Qingwei of Green Lotus Temple had a good guess about the origin of the third-order Green Flood Dragon, she still sent Taoist Mingxia, who had a close relationship with the Zhou Family, to inquire about the matter.
This was also within the expectations of a few people from the Zhou Family.
Therefore, facing Taoist Mingxia’s inquiries, Zhou Daoyi directly replied, “Taoist Friend Mingxia is wise. My Spirit Pet, the Sky Azure Cloud Python, inherently possesses the Flood Dragon Bloodline, with the potential to Transform into a Flood Dragon.”
“Luckily, I obtained an item that could aid its transformation, and it indeed proved itself by successfully reverting to its ancestral bloodline and evolving into a Green Flood Dragon after refining that item, and consequently, it broke through to the third order!”
Hearing his response, Taoist Mingxia looked at him meaningfully and said, “The item that helped with the transformation into a Flood Dragon mentioned by Taoist Friend Zhou, wouldn’t happen to be a third-order Green Flood Dragon’s inner core, would it?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi’s expression remained unchanged as he retorted, “Is it absolutely necessary for me to answer that?”
