"I said that you can protect him for a while, but you can't. Since you've made a bet, you have to honor it. From now on, Murong Zhenjie is no longer Young Master Dan."
After saying that, Zhou Yang put away his sword and walked off the stage.
"Wait!"
Zhou Shaoyu shouted.
"What else do you want?" Zhou Yang turned around and said coldly.
"Zhou Yang, I'm warning you. From now on, the battle between us has begun." Zhou Shaoyu's voice was filled with murderous intent.
"It has begun … Our battle has already begun."
Zhou Yang smiled faintly, looking very calm.
Zhou Shaoyu clenched his fists. Zhou Yang's indifference and contempt made him very angry.
Dusk.
Today's dusk was particularly disturbing.
Just an hour ago, four hours after the battle in the county city, the Alchemy Guild officially announced that Murong Zhenjie's status as Young Master Dan had been revoked. At the same time, there were rumors that Murong Zhenjie's injuries could no longer be recovered and he had become a cripple.
There was no doubt that this news shook the entire Jiangnan County, and Zhou Yang once again stood at the forefront of the struggle. Almost everyone was talking about Zhou Yang the entire night. Most people with some knowledge already understood that the Jiangnan County was not going to be peaceful.
However, the General's Mansion was very quiet.
Zhou Yang sat at the stone table far away and looked at the stars in the sky. His mood was as quiet as the vast starry sky.
He thought that he would be very excited after crippling Murong Zhenjie, but at this moment, he was unprecedentedly calm.
Even though he knew very well that Murong Zhenjie was different from any of the opponents he had dealt with in the past, because the influence of Young Master Dan was great.
The reason why the Xu, Ye, and Zhao families were trying to rope in Murong Zhenjie, and even the mysterious young man with a fan was because Murong Zhenjie's identity as Young Master Dan represented the Alchemy Guild.
The Xu family's patriarch was about to become the City Lord. After many years of development, the Ye family had businesses in the six cities of Jiangnan County, and the Zhao family had a strong backing in the imperial city. If the Alchemy Guild was added, the entire Jiangnan County would completely become their territory.
He crippled Murong Zhenjie, which was tantamount to tearing open a gap. It also meant that the war had truly begun.
This was a completely unbalanced battle, but he discovered that he was actually so calm at this moment, so calm that even he found it inconceivable.
"Looks like you've succeeded."
The voice of the dragon spirit sounded.
"You're awake." Zhou Yang smiled.
"Haha … I did gain something this time around." The dragon spirit laughed out.
"Didn't you say that it's definitely worth it? I wonder what's worth it?"
"Don't worry. As long as you keep your promise, I will definitely not lie to you." The dragon spirit said confidently.
"Is that so? Then I want to fuse with the third lesson, Jin Lin. Can you help me?"
"Of course not. I can't help you fuse with the Golden Qilin, but my soul power has become a lot stronger this time, so the range that my soul can explore has increased by several times."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"It's very simple. I found something good. I'm just afraid that you won't dare to take it." The dragon spirit smiled evilly.
"Tell me, where is it?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"Words are better than action. Let's go out of the city!"
"Alright."
Zhou Yang immediately set off. Under the guidance of the dragon spirit, he arrived at the mass grave outside the city.
"You said that the good stuff is there?" Zhou Yang asked as he looked at the distant Meteorite Tower.
"That's right, it's right below. That's why I said you wouldn't dare to take it."
Zhou Yang frowned. The Meteorite Tower that the dragon spirit was talking about was definitely the black underground tunnel.
"Alright, let's go take a look."
"You better think it through. I can sense that there are people in the tower." The dragon spirit warned.
"There are people in the tower … It's okay. I have other ways to go."
Based on his memory, he found the coffin that he used to leave the third level. Just like he thought, this tunnel hadn't been discovered yet. He immediately entered the tunnel.
"It seems like you are very familiar with this place." The dragon spirit was surprised.
"You said that there are people. Are they on the third level or above?"
"They are on the second level, but I'm not sure if they will come down."
Zhou Yang took a deep breath and quickly arrived at the top of the black tunnel.
"That's right, they are below. Hurry up. I have a strong feeling that there is something good down there." The dragon spirit said excitedly.
"Let's do it!"
Although he still had lingering fears about the pitch-black tunnel, given the current situation, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
That eerie and terrifying feeling surged into his heart once again. His body felt cold.
"Don't be afraid, Zhou Yang. This is just an illusion. Its purpose is to prevent you from going down," the dragon spirit said in disdain.
"It's an illusion … but why does it feel so real?"
Zhou Yang frowned. The deeper he went, the more he felt like he was facing death. It was as if the next step was the abyss of death.

"How can something that isn't real cause others to falter? Forget it. Given your current state of mind, this is indeed making things difficult for you. I'll give you a hand," the dragon spirit said with a sigh.
"No need!"
Zhou Yang snorted coldly. He clearly knew that it was fake. If he was still afraid, he might as well just die.
"Haha … suits my taste, suits my taste." The dragon spirit laughed out loud.
Zhou Yang didn't say a word as he walked down step by step. Finally, that feeling gradually disappeared and the ground beneath his feet became smoother.
A flame rose from his hand, illuminating the surroundings. The only thing in front of him was a huge black beast statue in the middle of the empty space.
"This is …"
Zhou Yang and the dragon spirit spoke at almost the same time. The difference was that Zhou Yang's tone was filled with doubt while the dragon spirit was shocked.
"Impossible, impossible! How could there be something like this here? Could it be …" The dragon spirit was shocked.
"Just what kind of beast is this?" Zhou Yang looked at the stone statue before him. Even though it was just a statue, it gave off a chilling feeling.
"Beast … it's not a beast. Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. Just ignore it and continue forward. I can sense that the treasure is up ahead." The dragon spirit changed the topic and urged.
Even though Zhou Yang wanted to know, he didn't ask too much. If the dragon spirit didn't want to tell him, there was no point in asking.
"Hold on!"
At this moment, the Dragon Spirit suddenly shouted.
"What is it?"
"Look at the claws of the statue," the dragon spirit said.
Zhou Yang looked down and saw a wrist-sized black iron hoop on the claws of the beast statue.
"Kid, you're in luck. This thing is also a treasure. Take it out." The dragon spirit said happily.
"Treasure!"
Zhou Yang was overjoyed. He bent down and prepared to remove the black hoop.
"Don't be careless. It's best if you use both hands. I'm afraid you won't be able to lift it later. Hahaha …" The dragon spirit laughed out.
