Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Mingde finished speaking, then added in a low voice, "If we really can accomplish what Lin Hongyu has asked us to do, then our Zhou Family will not only gain her lifetime's accumulation of wealth, but we might also be able to use her, adding a powerful fighting force to our family!"

"To use Lin Hongyu?"

Zhou Chun's expression froze, not expecting Zhou Mingde to say such a thing, and looked at him in disbelief, saying, "Do you mean to let her practice the Blood Exchange Dragon Transformation Technique to change her own Flood Dragon Bloodline into a Green Flood Dragon Bloodline? She probably won't agree to that!"

Lin Hongyu's intent to defect from the Dragon Transformation Sect was to escape its constraints, to avoid an eventual fate of being used as Flood Dragon feed.

In such a circumstance, how could she possibly jump out of the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's lair, to have herself controlled by others again.

But Zhou Mingde just smiled faintly and said, "You are mistaken; it's not about having her change her Flood Dragon Bloodline to a Green Flood Dragon Bloodline, but to have her join the Zhou Family in the capacity of a Supreme Elder!"

"That's not likely to work, either. Not to mention whether she would look down on our Zhou Family, even if she was willing, wouldn't it bring trouble to our Zhou Family if someone found out she was once the Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect?"

Zhou Chun frowned, still not very much in favor of Zhou Mingde's proposal, thinking it was rather far-fetched.

"That's why we just have to make sure she is not discovered by anyone!"

"We can have her stay and cultivate in our stronghold in Longxing Valley, not revealing her identity as a Supreme Elder to the outside world, yet not stinting her the treatment due to such a status, and also help her conceal her identity when moving through the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm."

"With these benefits, and on top of that our favor from saving her, why would she go anywhere else? Why wouldn't she join our Zhou Family!"

Zhou Mingde's smile deepened as he spoke.

He suddenly found that his idea might indeed have great potential.

Zhou Chun had no idea what the relationship between Lin Hongyu and the Zhou Family was, but Zhou Mingde knew it all too well in his heart.

As long as the Dragon Transformation Sect was destroyed, Lin Hongyu's identity as the Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect wouldn't be a problem anymore, and he could completely facilitate a true union between Zhou Daoyi and Lin Hongyu.

Now that Zhou Daoyi had become a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator and even possessed a third-tier Flood Dragon Spirit Pet, he was entirely worthy of Lin Hongyu in every respect.

Once the two became Dao companions, wouldn't Lin Hongyu help the Zhou Family?

And if Lin Hongyu joined the Zhou Family, it would mean more to the Zhou Family than just gaining a very powerful late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator.

All the understanding of the Wasteland Territory that Lin Hongyu possessed and the forces she controlled in secret, would all be at the Zhou Family's disposal.

Only then would the Zhou Family be truly hard-pressed not to soar to great heights!

Zhou Chun did not know where Zhou Mingde's confidence in Lin Hongyu joining the Zhou Family came from.

However, he was well-aware of the advantages that Lin Hongyu's joining would bring to the Zhou Family.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Mingde speak so confidently, he could only proceed under the assumption that all this could really be achieved, then consider Zhou Mingde's prior suggestions in light of that assumption.

After thinking in silence for a while, he looked up and said, "If we really want to help Lin Hongyu, we first need to figure out the situation at the Red Fire Sub-sect. If that fourth-tier mid-grade Red Fire Flood Dragon died in this battle, we wouldn't need to lift a finger."

"If that fourth-tier mid-grade Red Fire Flood Dragon did not die in this battle, and Lin Hongyu also survived, then we should think of a way to contact her to obtain information about the Red Fire Flood Dragon's location and then figure out a way to pass this information to the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of the three major sects!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde immediately said, "The matter of contacting Lin Hongyu can be left to Lin Wan'er. All we need to do is find a way to pass the news to the Golden Core Stage Cultivators of the three major sects and lure them to slay the Flood Dragon!"

"If that is the case, then, as I said before, we'll initially pretend to agree to Lin Hongyu's request and use our temporary inability to break away as an excuse to wait for the results from the Red Fire Sub-sect!"

Zhou Chun nodded, finally deciding on the matter.

Thus, Zhou Mingde immediately called over Lin Wan'er, the foster daughter raised by Lin Hongyu, indicating that they had agreed to Lin Hongyu's request. He asked her to inform Lin Hongyu about this and also mentioned that the Zhou Family was currently unable to extricate themselves from their situation.

Although Lin Wan'er knew Lin Hongyu's intentions, she was not fully aware of the specifics, and Lin Hongyu had not revealed to her the details of her relationship with Zhou Daoyi.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Mingde's response, she did not ask further questions. After leaving a way to contact her, she departed from the stronghold alone.

After sending Lin Wan'er away, Zhou Mingde took the opportunity to report the situation to Taoist Mingjing, portraying the intelligence brought from afar by Zhou Jiasheng as news of Zhou Daoyi's breakthrough in Purple Mansion cultivation.

Taoist Mingjing, upon learning of this event, offered his congratulations on the spot and then refrained from asking further questions.

Battle was pressing, and he had no interest in focusing on Zhou Daoyi's breakthrough.

While Zhou Chun and his group were resting inside the stronghold for two days, preparing to move to the next location, the battle at the Red Fire Sub-branch had reached its final stage.

Suddenly, a series of crimson flames rose within the Guardian Great Formation of the Red Fire Sub-branch. In the blink of an eye, eighteen beams of red divine light shot out, directly striking the fifteen Golden Core cultivators and three "Waning Moon Shooting Star Formations" outside.

After releasing these eighteen beams of red divine light, the Guardian Great Formation, which had already been precarious under the onslaught of the Moon Wheel Sect, instantly depleted its power and shattered on the spot.

At the same time, the cultivators from the Red Fire Sub-branch, who had been ready inside, surged out from all directions, each desperately breaking through and fleeing.

"Stop them, do not let a single one escape!"

In the skies, a Moon Wheel Sect cultivator in the late phase of the Golden Core stage shouted loudly. With mana surging, a silver-white circular Dharma Treasure shone brightly like a silver moon, confronting the red divine light that shot towards him.

The might of that red divine light wasn't inferior to a full-strength attack from an ordinary mid-phase Golden Core cultivator.

But under the bombardment of the Dharma Treasure wielded by the late-phase Golden Core cultivator, it was effortlessly crushed and scattered.

The silver circular Dharma Treasure, after dispersing the red divine light, did not halt, but instead blasted towards a mid-phase Golden Core cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

After all, not every Golden Core cultivator was as powerful as this one.

Among the fifteen Golden Core cultivators present, there were only two in the late phase, four in the mid-phase, and the remaining nine were in the early phase of Golden Core.

Confronted with the attack of the red divine light, the four mid-phase Golden Core cultivators managed to scatter it with the power of their Dharma Treasures, intercepting the Dragon Transformation Sect Golden Core cultivators who were attempting to break out.

However, the nine early-phase Golden Core cultivators dared not face its sharp edge head-on, some using Divine Skills to dodge, others defending with all their might, with no energy left to do anything else.

But the individuals who suffered the most were the cultivators of the three "Waning Moon Shooting Star Formations."

They could only exhibit an attack equivalent to that of a Golden Core stage with the power of the battle formation.

However, the "Waning Moon Shooting Star Formation" was purely an offensive formation without defensive capabilities.

Faced with the attack of three beams of red divine light, only one formation managed to barely shoot out silver-white arrows to stop the red divine light aimed at it, while the cultivators of the other two formations scattered in panic.

But the attack speed of that red divine light was incredibly fast!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Moon Wheel Sect cultivators who couldn't escape in time were swept by the red divine light.

Any cultivator struck by that red divine light, regardless of whether they were in the Purple Mansion Phase or the Foundation Establishment Stage, met the same fate.

Instantly dissolved into a wisp of blue smoke, their Magic Artifacts met with the same fate!

This terrifying sight also dumbfounded the surviving Moon Wheel Sect cultivators.

They looked at the two spots struck by the red divine light.

The ground there had melted into two deep magma pools of unknown depth, with yellow smoke billowing above them, resembling a recently erupted volcano.

"What are you all staring at? Act now and eradicate these Dragon Transformation Sect traitors!"

A cold, high-pitched shout rose from the sky, instantly snapping the Moon Wheel Sect cultivators who had just escaped death back to reality.

Then, gazing at the fleeing Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators and remembering their fallen comrades, they let out roars of fury and outrage as they brandished their Dharma Treasures and advanced upon them.

Blood debts must be paid in blood!

Suddenly, each of the breaking-out Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators, aside from those in the Qi Refinement stage, almost all encountered a number of Moon Wheel Sect cultivators greater than themselves cutting them off and pursuing them, and some even faced more powerful enemies from a higher realm of cultivation joining the chase.
