Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

It was less than three days before the Red Dragon Branch Altar of the Dragon Transformation Sect fell.

As the number one major sect in Jingguo Country, the strength of the Moon Wheel Sect was evident from this.

In this battle, three of the five Golden Core Phase Cultivators from the Red Dragon Branch of the Dragon Transformation Sect were killed on the spot. Only a Vice Hall Master and a Second Elder managed to fight their way out of the encirclement and escape with their lives.

Of the twenty-one Purple Mansion Phase protectors trapped inside the Red Dragon Branch Altar, eighteen perished on the spot, with only three escaping severely wounded.

The rest of the Missionary Envoys and ordinary Sect Members were either killed or captured, with only a handful luckily surviving.

In contrast, on the Moon Wheel Sect's side, not a single Golden Core Phase Cultivator died; only one was seriously injured and two suffered minor injuries.

Minor injuries did not require withdrawal from the frontline, so the only one who truly left the war was the seriously injured Golden Core Phase Cultivator.

However, because of those two crimson divine lights, the Moon Wheel Sect still suffered the loss of as many as seven Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Compared to the two sides, it could still be considered a great victory!

The news of this great victory quickly spread among the teams sweeping the rear, like Zhou Chun's, and throughout Jingguo Country.

Upon hearing this news, Taoist Mingjing and the other Jingguo Country Cultivators were naturally overjoyed, with morale soaring.

However, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun were happy yet mixed with a hint of worry at this time.

Words couldn't describe the complexity of their emotions at the moment.

Upon hearing that the Red Dragon Branch Altar was breached and that the majority of the protectors and Elders of the Dragon Transformation Sect had been killed, both of them thought about whether Lin Hongyu was dead or alive.

They hoped that Lin Hongyu was dead, so that the dealings of the Zhou Family with her could be completely buried.

Yet there was also a sliver of reluctance about her possible death.

After all, if Lin Hongyu really died, the Zhou Family would be unable to obtain the various treasures she had promised, and her allegiance too.

In the midst of these complex and indistinct emotions, new orders suddenly reached their team.

"The order I just received from a senior uncle of our sect commands us to temporarily halt the removal of strongholds and rush at full speed to the Black Dragon Branch Altar for defense. Reinforcements from the other branch altars of the Dragon Transformation Sect are already on their way!"

On a hillside, Taoist Mingjing looked seriously at the dozens of Cultivators below and spoke solemnly of the orders he had just received.

Hearing his words, the Cultivators present all changed their expressions.

The fighting in recent days had let everyone know that removing the Dragon Transformation Sect's strongholds was an easy opportunity to earn Battle Merits.

With an overwhelming advantage in force, removing the strongholds of the Dragon Transformation Sect almost guaranteed no risk to life. Some might not even be injured.

But participating in the frontline battle would be different.

Engaging directly with the Dragon Transformation Sect's forces on the frontline, even though Jingguo Country still held a numerical advantage, the casualties would certainly be significant.

But the situation wouldn't change because of their will.

An order was an order, and regardless of their personal wishes, they dared not defy it!

So at Taoist Mingjing's command, all the Purple Mansion Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the stronghold immediately set out, leaving the stronghold behind.

However, before departing, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun secretly wrote the direction of their troop's travel in a letter and left it behind.

This way, if Lin Wan'er really managed to contact Lin Hongyu later, she could use the letter to find their new location and reestablish contact with them.

After rushing day and night, it took nearly two days for Zhou Chun's team to finally arrive at the periphery of the Dragon Transformation Sect's Black Dragon Branch Altar.

According to the division of labor among the three major sects, it was Green Lotus Temple that was attacking the Black Dragon Branch Altar, the now strongest branch of the Dragon Transformation Sect, and it was indeed a tough nut to crack.

Even after Green Lotus Temple gathered fourteen Golden Core Stage Cultivators and continued the assault for three days and nights, they couldn't break through the Guardian Great Formation of the Black Dragon Branch Altar.

Just as Zhou Chun and his group arrived, four more Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Golden Dragon Branch Altar and Blood Dragon Sub-Temple in the rear had already joined the battle within the Black Dragon Branch Altar.

Now inside the Black Dragon Branch Altar, there were as many as ten Golden Core Phase Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect, along with two fourth-tier Flood Dragons and a fourth-tier inferior Demon Beast, the Blackwater Profound Tortoise.

If it weren't for the fact that after the Red Dragon Branch Altar was destroyed, the Moon Wheel Sect promptly sent six more Golden Core Phase Cultivators for reinforcement, Jingguo Country might have been in danger of having Green Lotus Temple overrun by the forces of the Dragon Transformation Sect!

Even though the number of Golden Core Phase Cultivators on Jingguo Country's side had reached twenty, it was still difficult to quickly conquer the Black Dragon Branch Altar, now reinforced and aided.

Therefore, by the time Zhou Chun and his team arrived, Green Lotus Temple had already changed their battle plan, encircling the Black Dragon Branch Altar without attacking, seemingly waiting for even more reinforcements to arrive before making a move.

The twenty Golden Core Stage Cultivators were seen sitting in a circle around the four sides of the Black Dragon Branch Temple Gate, not allowing any bird to fly out from inside.

Meanwhile, the Purple Mansion Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Green Lotus Temple had already built a temporary camp less than fifty miles away from the Black Dragon Branch Altar, setting up the Spirit Cleansing Formation and Guardian Formation.

Upon arrival, Zhou Chun's group directly entered this temporary camp.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a good rest here. I will go and see our sect's senior uncle to find out if there are any instructions for us," said Taoist Mingjing in the camp after speaking with a Green Lotus Temple colleague responsible for managing the camp. He then left Zhou Chun and others outside a resting area with a few words and hurried away.
