Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Despite Zhou Chun's reluctance to make a fuss, the news about his parents' accidental deaths still spread quickly throughout the Zhou Family, given his current status.

In the following days, almost every day some elders and fellow cultivators would come to offer their condolences.

All he could do was to thank each one of them.

As for the suspicion that his parents had been the victims of foul play, he had not raised the issue with many others, and had also asked Uncle Fourteen, Zhou Jiawei, to help keep it a secret.

Mentioning it now would certainly incite righteous anger among the clan members, but it would actually do more harm than good to the family.

Unless the culprit was caught and it was confirmed that the Yu Family was behind it, the Zhou Family could not possibly attack the Yu Family just yet.

However, if they didn't respond to this matter in some way, it would be hard to calm the hearts of the clan members.

It would also cause some clan members to start worrying about the safety of their mortal relatives, bringing unnecessary trouble to the family.

As the vice clan leader of the family, Zhou Chun had to consider this.

While the Zhou Family was in an uproar over the death of Zhou Chun's parents, in Lingzhou, the sole remaining Purple Mansion early-stage cultivator of the Jiang Family, Jiang Shicheng, was also in a thunderous rage.

"Foolish! Stupid!"

In the main hall, Jiang Shicheng, with an angry face, pointed at a middle-aged man in front of him and scolded him non-stop.

He said angrily, "Are you brainless? The grudges between us cultivators should be settled among ourselves, this has been an unchanging rule for countless years! Look at what you have done now?"

"To poison two mortals who didn't have much longer to live, you ought to be ashamed! You're a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and this is the extent of your capability and magnanimity?"

"If you were not the direct descendant of Shixian, I would strip you of your cultivation level today and send you to the Zhou Family for their disposition, no matter what!"

Zhou Chun's guess was right, the one who had poisoned his parents was indeed from the Jiang Family.

However, this was not the intention of Jiang Shicheng, the Supreme Elder of the Jiang Family, and he hadn't known about it beforehand.

If he had known, he would have definitely stopped it.

Because such a despicable act, once it became known, would completely ruin the Jiang Family's reputation!

No cultivator family would tolerate such a thing, nor would many cultivators!

Yet, facing Jiang Shicheng's angry accusations, the middle-aged man responded with hate and not a trace of remorse, "I just wanted that kid to taste the pain of losing loved ones!"

"Moreover, I used a mixture of Nightmare Spider Poison and Blissful Flower Pollen, which completely dissolves in the body of the deceased after taking effect, leaving no evidence for anyone to find!"

He even sounded somewhat smug in his speech, confident in his methods.

Little did he know that Zhou Jiawei, well-versed in the art of poisons, had already guessed the method he had used.

Seeing his unrepentant attitude, Jiang Shicheng was so furious that his forehead veins throbbed.

He immediately shouted, "You've gone mad! Then let me send you to reflect in the Ice Prison!"

After saying that, he forcefully detained the middle-aged man, sending him to the Ice Prison used by the Jiang Family to punish wrongdoers, shutting him on the very bottom level!

After dealing with this, Jiang Shicheng also felt a headache coming on about the aftermath.

He believed the middle-aged man's words; the Zhou Family should not be able to find any concrete evidence.

After all, as soon as he heard the news, he summoned the middle-aged man back immediately, preventing him from making any more rash moves against the Zhou Family's mortals.

But he was even more aware that the Zhou Family would definitely suspect the Jiang Family in this matter and have one more reason to seek revenge against the Jiang Family in the future.

With only one early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator left in the Jiang Family, they were indeed temporarily unable to challenge the Zhou Family.

And this was not even the most troublesome issue for him.

The most troublesome part was that the middle-aged man dared to carry out such actions behind his back.

The middle-aged man was Master Jiang's grandson, who had died at the hands of Zhou Chun. Because of Master Jiang's death, he had harbored extreme enmity towards the Zhou Family and had repeatedly advised the two Purple Mansion cultivators of the Jiang Family to take revenge on the Zhou Family.

However, due to the warning from Green Lotus Temple, and the suppression from the two Purple Mansion cultivators, even with hatred in his heart, he had not dared to act against the Zhou Family alone.

This time, with the Purple Mansion mid-stage cultivator of the Jiang Family falling on the way to meet the Zhou Family, it undoubtedly deepened the resentment of the Jiang Family's cultivators towards the Zhou Family further.

Moreover, with the downfall of this pillar of the family, combined with the strength the Zhou Family had displayed at the "Hundred Clans Conference," many cultivators from the Jiang Family understood that they had lost the capability to exact revenge or destroy the Zhou Family.

So, men like the middle-aged man, without hope of revenge, had taken such an extreme measure against the Zhou Family's mortals.

From this incident, one could see the pessimistic mindset of the Jiang Family's cultivators at present, as well as their lack of trust in Jiang Shicheng.

Ultimately, his prestige was not enough to fully gain the trust of the Jiang Family's Foundation Establishment cultivators or make them believe that he could lead the Jiang Family out of their predicament.

"It seems I must stabilize the internal situation before addressing external troubles," Jiang Shicheng muttered, touching his forehead, a cold glint in his eyes, already making certain decisions.

And because of Jiang Shicheng's timely remediation, Zhou Daoquan's surveillance naturally yielded nothing.
