Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Jin Chixuan, upon hearing this, only pondered for a moment before responding, "Jin believes that Taoist Friend Qingsu's proposal makes sense. Now that the beaten and battered remnants of the Dragon Transformation Sect have all fled to their main headquarters, the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple is left as nothing but an empty shell. It should not take much effort to bring about its destruction."

"Hmm, since both of my fellow daoists share this view, then let us make another trip to the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple!"

Liu Yiping nodded in agreement, easily accepting the suggestion of Taoist Nun Qingsu.

Thus, he immediately had the severely injured Yu Jinghua and several Golden Core Stage Cultivators with serious injuries lead some of the wounded and prisoners back to Jingguo Country. Then, he assembled the remaining able-bodied fighters and once again set off to assault the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple.

At this time, the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple was indeed defended only by a few Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and two Protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

When dozens of Golden Core Stage Cultivators descended upon the temple with over a hundred Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators, the Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivators inside the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple were nearly scared to death.

The two Protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect didn't even care about the "Dragon Soul Seed" planted within them; they were so terrified that they immediately opened the formation and surrendered.

Seeing their understanding, Liu Yiping and others were very satisfied and decided to rest in the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple for a day before returning to their country, as they were all somewhat tired from the continuous battles and journey.

However, in less than half a day, Liu Yiping suddenly received a message from Yinyue True Person.

After communicating remotely with Yinyue True Person, Liu Yiping hurriedly led his people to destroy the Mountain Protection Array of the Blood Dragon Sub-Temple, then took the spoils and prisoners from the sub-temple and returned to Jingguo Country.

It turned out that after several days of heavy fighting, the battle between the Tier 5 existences on both sides came to an outcome.

The result was naturally a victory for the Jingguo Country Allied Army. They succeeded in killing a Vice Sect Hierarch of the Dragon Transformation Sect, seriously injuring its Sect Hierarch and two Vice Sect Hierarchs, and even inflicted heavy damage on two of the five Flood Dragons that came to assist.

The defeated Sect Leader of the Dragon Transformation Sect could only flee back to their main headquarters with the remaining three Vice Sect Hierarchs and activate the sect's Guardian Great Formation to withstand the attacks of Yinyue True Person and others.

According to the intentions of Yinyue True Person and her group, they wanted to seize the opportunity to directly break into the Dragon Transformation Sect's main headquarters and utterly annihilate the sect.

But then, a Tier 5 Flood Dragon from the Dragon Abyss Marsh arrived with an edict from the king of the Flood Dragon Clan, the Golden Horn Dragon King, ordering them to immediately leave the Wasteland Territory.

This obviously meant that the Dragon Transformation Sect was to be spared.

Despite their unwillingness, Yinyue True Person and the others did not dare to defy the edict of the Dragon Abyss Marsh Demon Race king.

They had no choice but to retreat first and plan to seek out a Human Clan powerhouse capable of contending with the Golden Horn Dragon King to report the matter later on.

Since even Yinyue True Person and her group were expelled from the Wasteland Territory by a single edict from the Golden Horn Dragon King, Liu Yiping, upon learning of the situation, naturally did not dare to linger in the wasteland any longer.

Luckily, the leaders of the Dragon Transformation Sect had no time to trouble them at the moment. The group fled cautiously along the way and thankfully returned safely to Jingguo Country.

Back in Yunzhou, Liu Yiping immediately ordered all the summoned Cultivators to freely return to their respective residences. As for the battle merits they had earned, the rewards corresponding to those merits would naturally be calculated and distributed to them after being tallied by the three great sects.

Of course, this process may take some time, as it involves a series of related matters, including the compensation for the fallen Cultivators.

But no matter what, the war had come to an end.

If they were to continue striking against the Dragon Transformation Sect, they would no longer forcibly summon Cultivators from the various Cultivating families. Instead, they might merely offer rewards.

Therefore, upon receiving the news that they could return home, all Cultivators from the various Cultivating families who were still at the front lines in Yunzhou were overjoyed and filled with boundless happiness.

Even many Cultivators from the three great sects heaved a sigh of relief and were similarly overjoyed.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, upon learning the news, immediately led Zhou Zhengyong and others who had been stationed at the Fulong Stronghold back to their family.

Compared to those Zhou Family Cultivators who perished at the front line in the Misty Swamp, Zhou Zhengyong and his companions were undoubtedly fortunate.

While stationed at the Fulong Stronghold, none of the thirty people were injured as the stronghold's Guardian Great Formation had never been breached, allowing them all to return safely to their family.

With less than two days of flight, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi finally returned to the Zhou Family.

They also brought back the news of the war's end to the Zhou Family.

"That's great, the war has finally come to an end!"

In the gates of Zhou Family Mountain, Zhou Chun, having learned that the war had ended, clapped his hands in joy; he felt much more relaxed.

Like many others, he had long been anticipating this day.

The war had finally come to an end, with a grand victory for Jingguo Country's Allied Army—how could he not rejoice?

And as Zhou Mingde and another described the battles at Fulong Stronghold and with the Golden Dragon Branch Altar, Zhou Chun's spirits lifted even higher.

He couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "Triple blessings have come to our doorstep, it's truly triple blessings for our Zhou Family!"

Indeed, it was triple blessings.

Whether it was the end of the war, Lin Hongyu gaining the Zhou Family's assistance to break free from her constraints, or the fact that the traitor Yu Jinghua was heavily wounded, they were all cause for celebration for the Zhou Family.

"Yes, indeed, it's triple blessings. Now our Zhou Family is going to have some lively times ahead!"

Zhou Mingde also smiled and nodded in agreement with Zhou Chun's description.

In celebration of these three blessings, Zhou Chun and two of the Zhou Family Purple Mansion Cultivators, after a brief discussion, decided to have a grand celebration for seven days.

During these seven days, any cultivator coming to the Zhou Family to practice wouldn't have to pay any Spirit Coins, and they could also enjoy a meal of delicately prepared Demon Beast meat every day, along with tastings of Spiritual Wine and Spiritual Tea.

All Zhou Family Cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, received a special reward of one hundred Spirit Coins, to commend them for their contributions to the family during the war.

During these seven days, even Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, cultivators at the Purple Mansion Phase, let themselves completely relax—they either feasted with fellow clan cultivators or slept soundly, indulging themselves for once.

After the seven days passed and everyone had recovered from the celebratory frenzy, they began to deal with the post-war matters.

There indeed were many things to handle after the war.

For instance, the compensation for the fallen Zhou Family clan members, processing the spoils of war, communication and collaboration with other families, and even establishing frontier bases were all tasks that needed attention.

Compensation wasn't a complicated issue—Zhou Family was not short on money.

After discussions among the higher-ups, they decided to give each family of the fallen Zhou Family Cultivators two thousand merit points or two thousand Spirit Coins.

If there were no cultivator relatives, then there would be no compensation.

The amount of this compensation was quite generous, after all, most of the fallen cultivators from the Zhou Family were only at the mid Qi Refinement stage.

So, their families, though inevitably still saddened, had no objections to the arrangement.

Having settled this issue of compensation for the fallen clan members, Zhou Chun then ordered returning Qi Refinement Realm cultivators such as Zhou Zhengyong to earnestly engage in processing and producing feed for the Spirit Beasts, quickly turning the stored Demon Beast carcasses into Spirit Beast Feed.

For this, Zhou Chun even allowed them to recruit some Loose Cultivators to assist them.

Neither Zhou Chun nor high-ranking cultivators like Zhou Mingde could rest, as they needed to count and assess the Zhou Family's gains from this battle.

This war had brought enormous spoils to the Zhou Family.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun had slain many cultivators and plundered many Storage Pouches, many of which they hadn't yet had the chance to thoroughly check.

Now was the time to categorize and summarize everything, and then discuss how to deal with these gains.

This form of counting spoils was also a tiring yet joyful task.

After half a day spent by the three people on this task, they finally completed the counting of dozens of Storage Pouches, summarizing the direct spoils of this war.

"Phew, we've finally finished counting it all. If outsiders saw this list, I'm afraid even Golden Core Stage Cultivators wouldn't be able to resist robbing us!"

In the dwelling of Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun looked at the list recording the various items in his hand, and couldn't help but laugh as he joked with the two older cultivators.
