Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Zhenkun's reliance quickly became apparent.

As he engaged Zhou Mingde and his servant with his Spirit Pet, the Silver-Horned Rhino, Xiao Lingyan also reached out to her Spirit Beast Pouch at her waist and released another Demon Beast.

It was a blue-black giant spider, whose aura was even more formidable than that of the Fire Divine Jackal, also a third-level middle-grade Demon Beast.

Both Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were familiar with this spider demon.

It was the Spirit Pet of the Golden Core Stage Cultivator Yu Jinghua, named "Wind Demon Spider."

The Wind Demon Spider was ferocious in nature and powerful, with extremely tricky Divine Skills.

In terms of raw power, it was not a match for the third-level low-grade Green Flood Dragon.

But its bizarre silk Divine Skills made it difficult for the Green Flood Dragon to fully utilize its strength.

Xiao Lingyan, in coordination with it, actually managed to hold back Zhou Daoyi and his servant without falling at a disadvantage.

Without Qingqing the Green Flood Dragon being able to contribute, the Zhou Family side had lost its greatest asset, making the battle extremely tense. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire

This turn of events was unexpected for the Zhou Family members and Zhang Zhou Chun and others very anxious.

"Looking at this situation, they are clearly well-prepared. The Supreme Elders were too hasty in engaging them and have fallen into their trap," said Zhou Jiapeng, an elder at Zhou Chun's side, with a worried expression.

This opinion was undoubtedly astute, and Zhou Chun inwardly agreed with it.

But he said calmly, "Don't worry, the Supreme Elders are veterans. Whatever we can see, they can certainly see as well. I believe they will have a way to deal with it."

Despite his words, Zhou Chun himself was also anxious.

He wasn't worried about Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi encountering any issues; both had multiple experiences facing off against cultivators of the same rank and possessed third-level Demon Beast Spirit Pets, ensuring their safety.

It was Zhou Daoquan he worried about.

After all, Zhou Daoquan had only recently opened his Purple Mansion. Although he also had a third-level Magic Artifact, compared to his opponent Wu Jingting, he was still somewhat inexperienced.

And in a battle at this level, Zhou Daoquan's Spirit Pet could no longer provide any assistance. He didn't even dare to release the Vermilion Flame Crane into the battle.

Clearly, Zhou Chun's concerns were not unfounded.

After about fifteen minutes of fighting, Zhou Daoquan started to fall into a disadvantage due to a lack of techniques.

He almost entirely relied on several third-level Magic Artifacts to contend with Wu Jingting, with no other means to pose a threat.

Wu Jingting, having opened his Purple Mansion for decades, had long cultivated several secret techniques to a level sufficient for use in combat against peers.

When Wu Jingting unleashed his secret techniques to attack, Zhou Daoquan immediately fell into a disadvantage.

"Activate the Mountain Protection Array; I'll lend the Supreme Elder a hand!"

Seeing Zhou Daoquan's situation becoming more perilous, Zhou Chun could no longer hold back.

At his command, several Zhou Family Elders immediately took their positions and, together with him, activated the Zhou Family's Mountain Protection Array, "Five Directions Mirlo Array."

Once the Formation was activated, Zhou Chun, who occupied the main position, used the secret Formation techniques to send aid to Zhou Daoquan through the array's power.

Above the Zhou Family Mountain gate, five-colored lights surged, and a thick column of five-colored light slammed into Wu Jingting.

This strike, which gathered the power of the Zhou Family's Mountain Protection Array, was something even late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators would not dare face head-on, let alone Wu Jingting, an early-stage Purple Mansion Cultivator.

Frightened, he quickly dodged the attack and then retreated rapidly, leaving the vicinity of the Zhou Family Mountain gate.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhenkun and Xiao Lingyan were also startled and swiftly followed, distancing themselves from the Zhou Family Mountain gate, no longer daring to engage Zhou Mingde and the others.

After retreating to a safe distance, Xiao Lingyan angrily shouted at Zhou Mingde, "Zhou Wende, what is this supposed to mean? Do you want to start a full-scale war with our Spirit Beast Manor?"

Zhou Mingde responded without courtesy in a cold voice, "If your Spirit Beast Manor wishes to start a full-scale war with our Zhou Family, naturally, we will not sit idly by. However, you, Xiao Lingyan, are most likely not in the position to make that decision!"

Zhou Daoyi also said with a cold laugh, "Spirit Beast Manor, what a bold move. If you have the ability, just keep blocking us here and see if the Zhou Family will be afraid of you!"

Their attitudes made the three Purple Mansion Cultivators from Spirit Beast Manor both furious and embroiled in a dilemma.

The situation was clear that with their individual strengths, they might be able to suppress the Zhou Family outwardly.

But to say they could pose a real threat to the Zhou Family was also uncertain.

Moreover, as Zhou Mingde said, going to war with the Zhou Family was not something within their power to decide.

To engage the Zhou Family like they had done was already the limit of what they could do.

Finally, after glaring at the Zhou Family members, Zhou Zhenkun sternly said, "This isn't over. You all know how important the Black Jade Toad is. If we don't get it back before Master Yu comes out of seclusion, I'd like to see how you'll explain it to him then!"

After saying this, he led Xiao Lingyan and the others away dejectedly.

Seeing this scene, the Zhou Family Cultivators inside the Zhou Family Mountain gate couldn't help but cheer.

Elders like Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiahe, among others, were visibly excited and nearly moved to tears.

Only those who had experienced it knew how abject their situation was when the Zhou Family first relocated to Jiufeng Ridge.
