Zhou Daoyi’s return soon alerted Zhou Daoquan, who was recuperating his essence energy in seclusion within Longxing Valley.
After hearing about Zhou Daoyi’s condition, he hurriedly emerged from seclusion and rushed to visit Zhou Daoyi at his resting place.
“Daoyi, where on earth have you been all this time? How did you get injured like this!”
Inside the room, Zhou Daoquan’s expression changed at the sight of Zhou Daoyi and immediately realized the severity of Zhou Daoyi’s wounds.
“Just bad luck, I encountered consecutive attacks and sieges by powerful Demon Beasts and luckily escaped with my life!”
Zhou Daoyi gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and softly recounted his ordeal.
...
It turned out that after he and Zhou Chun split up to flee, he had also employed the “Blood Shadow Escape Technique” to hasten his escape.
Although he was unaware that the fourth-grade Demon Beast pursuing them was a fourth-grade Thunder Flood Dragon, he sensibly realized that continuing to flee while riding the Green Flood Dragon would easily allow them to be tracked.
After all, the Green Flood Dragon was too conspicuous a target and emitted a much stronger aura than a human Cultivator, which made them easier to track.
But, as luck would have it, the fourth-grade Thunder Flood Dragon chose him as the target of pursuit!
Perhaps it was also related to him being the master of the Green Flood Dragon and carrying a significantly strong scent of it on his person.
Fortunately, the “Blood Shadow Escape Technique” enabled him to move quickly and left fewer residual auras than normal flight techniques, making him harder to track.
In the end, Zhou Daoyi managed to shake off the fourth-grade Thunder Flood Dragon using the “Blood Shadow Escape Technique” without ever facing it directly.
Unfortunately, after the “Blood Shadow Escape Technique” ended, Zhou Daoyi’s whereabouts were exposed, and he encountered an attack by a powerful Demon Beast in an unfamiliar body of water.
The Demon Beast that attacked him was a third-grade superior Demon Beast known as the “Dragon Scale Golden Flood Dragon,” a type of fish Demon with the bloodline of a Flood Dragon.
This Demon Beast was ferocious and powerful; Zhou Daoyi was no match for it and had to call upon the Green Flood Dragon to aid him in the battle as they fled.
Even with the Green Flood Dragon’s help, the “Dragon Scale Golden Flood Dragon” doggedly pursued them without letting go, relentlessly chasing after the master and servant.
Before long, because of the noise from their battle, they attracted the attention of another third-grade intermediate Demon Beast, the “Toxiceye Water Demon.”
Probably because they were both Water Demons from Dragon Abyss Marsh, the “Dragon Scale Golden Flood Dragon” and the “Toxiceye Water Demon” quickly teamed up to launch a joint attack against Zhou Daoyi and his servant.
Outnumbered two to two, with their cultivation levels being suppressed and their vital essence qi severely depleted, Zhou Daoyi and the Green Flood Dragon quickly found themselves at a severe disadvantage.
Thanks to the Green Flood Dragon’s desperate efforts in battle, they managed to break free from the pursuit of the two Demon Beasts.
However, Zhou Daoyi’s streak of bad luck did not end with their escape from this pursuit.
After he barely made it to shore with the Green Flood Dragon’s assistance and found a place to rest and heal, he unexpectedly stumbled upon two “Wind Thunder Martens” with their young.
“Wind Thunder Martens” were also a type of high-level Demon Beast; of these two, one was a third-grade intermediate Demon Beast, and the other a third-grade inferior Demon Beast.
The intrusion of Zhou Daoyi and the Green Flood Dragon triggered a huge stress response in the two “Wind Thunder Martens” with their young, and they immediately launched a ferocious attack on the master and servant.
Already on the verge of exhaustion, how could Zhou Daoyi and his servant stand a chance against two protective third-grade Demon Beasts?
After a fierce battle, both master and servant were seriously injured by the “Wind Thunder Martens,” and it was only after the Green Flood Dragon even spat out its Demon Core to join the fight that they managed to intimidate the two crazed beasts, and successfully escape their territory.

This series of battles, along with the drain of vital essence qi from using the “Blood Shadow Escape Technique,” left Zhou Daoyi with extremely severe injuries, making even basic long-distance travel or flying impossible.
Similarly, the Green Flood Dragon was heavily wounded in the blood battle against the two “Wind Thunder Martens” and urgently needed to recuperate.
Under these circumstances, Zhou Daoyi had no choice but to look for a random place in the wilderness to take his medicine, heal his wounds, and catch his breath.
What followed was straightforward; once his injuries had slightly improved, he hurriedly embarked on the journey back home.
“So that’s how it was; no wonder you took so long to return, Daoyi!”
After hearing Zhou Daoyi’s recount, Zhou Daoquan was also deeply moved by his harrowing experiences.
Then he continually nodded and said, “But it’s good that you were able to return, as long as you could return, Uncle and Zhengchun would surely be overjoyed to hear the news of your return!”
Hearing these words, Zhou Daoyi immediately replied, “I still have unrecovered injuries and might find it difficult to go back to the clan alone; I need my clan brother’s help to escort me back.”
“Not a problem, that’s the least I can do. After I give Zhengyong a few instructions, I’ll escort you back.”
Zhou Daoquan promptly agreed, made the necessary arrangements, and then escorted Zhou Daoyi back to the clan.
When the two arrived at Jiufeng Ridge, and Zhou Chun saw the returning Zhou Daoyi, his face, which had not shown a smile for several months, finally showed a genuine smile from the heart.
“Truly, the ancestors have blessed us; Supreme Elder, your safe return is such a relief!”
He was overjoyed at Zhou Daoyi’s return, and in that moment, all the worries in his heart dissipated.
Just as joyous were the other Zhou Family clan members.
Because the injuries on Zhou Daoyi were so severe, he only had time to meet with Zhou Chun and the other key members of the Zhou Family before he hastily returned to his cave to heal in seclusion.
This time, his injuries were so severe that it would be difficult to see any improvement without three to five years of rest and recovery.
