Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 249: Glorious Victory, Hongyu's Warning

The Qinglian Temple actually sent a Jindan-stage cultivator to rescue the Zhou family. This result was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Zhou family.

I feel so flattered!
At that time, the green light fell outside the Zhou family's mountain gate like a green lightning, revealing the figure of a young Taoist flying on a sword.

Both Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun were very familiar with this young Taoist priest, as he was Qing Lingzi who had previously been stationed at the front-line outpost of Biyaze.

At this moment, after Qing Lingzi appeared, he was not in a hurry to eliminate those monsters. Instead, he swept his spiritual sense and immediately raised his hand, made a gesture and pointed at the ground below.

Then there was a sound of sword sounding, and a green sword light fell from the sky and sank into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a series of rumbling sounds came from underground, as if a dragon had turned over.

Not long after, a ball of green sword light wrapped in a corpse broke out of the ground and returned to Qing Lingzi's side.

The corpse was naturally the guardian of the Blood Dragon Hall of the Hualong Sect who had tried to escape by using the earth escape technique after seeing the Jindan stage cultivator coming.

The art of earth escape is indeed a magical way to save one's life. After escaping into the earth, not only will it be difficult for spiritual consciousness to detect the enemy underground, but ordinary spells and magic weapons will also have difficulty in hurting the people underground.

Unfortunately, the guardian of the Blood Dragon Hall was only able to perform this technique skillfully but was not yet able to master it.

The most important thing was that Qing Lingzi arrived too quickly. He only had time to escape into the ground a dozen feet deep before Qing Lingzi locked his breath and then chased him underground with a flying sword magic weapon.

Magical weapons are inherently spiritual, and the flying sword of a sword cultivator is even more spiritual than ordinary magic weapons. It can even automatically lock onto and chase the enemy!

All these things eventually led to the death of the Blood Dragon Hall guardian.

After killing the Blood Dragon Hall guardian who had escaped underground with this sword, Qing Lingzi looked at the third-level monsters that were fleeing with their tails between their legs. He immediately made a sword gesture with his hand and pointed his finger. The green flying sword once again hummed and broke through the air to slash at several monsters.

Zhou Chun and others who were on Jiufeng Ridge saw a green sword light flashing in the sky like a dragon. Every time it adjusted its direction, a third-level monster would fall.

In just a few dozen breaths, the four third-level monsters that were fleeing separately were all beheaded!
After doing all this, Qing Lingzi put away his sword, waved his hand at the stunned Zhou family members and said, "Okay, the Zhou family will deal with the remaining monsters by yourselves. Remember to send the monster pills and the corpses of the third-level monsters to Hongya Market!"

Before he finished speaking, the green flying sword beside him burst into a strong sword light, and wrapped him up and turned into a green sword light that flew away into the air.

Just like that, from the time he appeared to the time he left, Qing Lingzi only stayed in front of the Zhou family for less than half a quarter of an hour.

In just less than half a minute, the Zhou family's crisis was completely resolved, leaving an extremely deep impression on everyone in the Zhou family.

"Is this the power of a Jindan-stage cultivator?"

Inside the mountain gate, Zhou Chun stared blankly at the green sword light that was going away, and his heart was extremely shocked.

During the Southern Expedition, he also saw battles between Jindan-stage cultivators, but because the cultivation levels of both sides were the same at the time, he could not see much with his cultivation level.

I just know that Jindan stage cultivators are very strong!
But today is different. Today, Qing Lingzi demonstrated his crushing strength against monsters and cultivators below the Jindan stage, which made him deeply aware of how powerful the Jindan stage cultivators are.

That is an existence that no cultivator other than the Jindan stage can resist!
Whether it is the cultivation level of the Jindan stage or the magic weapon that can only be activated by the Jindan stage cultivators, they are two concepts for beings below the Jindan stage.

This also made Zhou Chun suddenly understand why the status of Jindan stage cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation is so different from that of Zifu stage cultivators, even though there is only one level of cultivation difference. He also understood why there are so few Jindan stage cultivators!
Obviously, there must be some hurdles from the Purple Mansion Stage to the Golden Core Stage that he didn't know about, which blocked the hopes of most Purple Mansion Stage cultivators to form a Golden Core.

"Zhengchun, you go and arrange for people to clean up the battlefield. Daoyi and I will go and hunt down those beasts. We must not let any of them escape!"

Suddenly, words from Zhou Mingde awakened Zhou Chun who had lost his consciousness.

He rolled his eyes slightly and quickly replied, "Junior obeys your command."

Then he gave up control of the formation, stood up and arranged for people to leave the mountain gate and clean up the battlefield.

This time the war took place right at the doorstep of the Zhou family, so naturally, the corpses of those dead monsters would not be wasted.

Zhou Chun personally collected the corpses and demon cores of the four third-level monsters killed by Qing Lingzi and temporarily stored them on Pagoda Peak. He then had the other monster corpses sent to the ice storage that the Zhou family had previously used to store beast meat.

On the Qingliang Peak of Jiufengling, the Zhou family hollowed out the mountain and built a huge ice storage, which was large enough to store the carcasses of thousands of cows.

Normally, the Zhou family would fill the ice storage halfway, so that they wouldn't have to arrange many people every day to go hunting for the captive monsters.

In fact, as the number of monsters raised by the Zhou family increased, their consumption of meat became greater and greater, and it was no longer possible to feed them simply by arranging people to go out hunting.

More than ten years ago, Zhou Chun suggested that the Zhou family raise a large number of livestock such as pigs, cattle, sheep, and fish to provide food for the monsters in the family.

However, ordinary animal meat can only fill the stomachs of monsters, but has no positive effect on improving their cultivation.

Therefore, in the past, the Zhou family would regularly feed the captive monsters some monster meat every month, or use monster meat plus some spiritual medicine to make spiritual beast rations, to slightly promote their cultivation.

In the past, just purchasing the monster meat would cost the Zhou family a considerable amount of spirit coins every month.

However, this time the beast tide arrived, it provided the Zhou family with a large number of monster corpses.

At this time, Zhou Chun arranged for people to transport the corpses of monsters into the ice storage. Looking at the space in the ice storage that was gradually filling up, he couldn't help but think of the corpses of monsters buried in Jinji Mountain.

We had originally planned to arrange for people to collect them after the war, but now with the beast tide raging, it’s hard to say whether we can ever retrieve the corpses of the monsters.

"But it looks like this ice storage should be expanded, or we should find a place to build one or two more. The price of monster corpses will drop significantly in the future, so we can't miss this opportunity to stock up!"

Looking at the ice storage filled with hundreds of monster corpses, Zhou Chun immediately had another idea.

Not long after, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who had gone out to hunt down the fleeing monsters, returned with their pets.

Under the pursuit of their two Purple Mansion period cultivators and two third-level monsters, all the monsters that invaded the Zhou family this time were completely killed.

However, no one from the Zhou family died in this battle!

This is undoubtedly a brilliant victory.

So much so that when those independent cultivators who participated in this war learned that the war was over and they could choose whether to stay or leave again, they all chose to stay and continue to practice or work in the Zhou family.

Naturally, the Zhou family would not refuse this.

However, although no one from the Zhou family died in this war, the mountain protection formation "Five-Directions Miro Formation" was severely damaged in the beast tide attack and temporarily lost its protective power and urgently needed to be repaired.

Therefore, when Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi came back, Zhou Mingde went to Hongya Market to ask Qinglian Temple for help in the name of escorting the corpses and demon pills of the four third-level monsters, to see if he could get materials to repair the "Five-Direction Mi Luo Formation" from Qinglian Temple. At the same time, Zhou Chun also arranged for several Zhou family cultivators with lower cultivation to evacuate the family mortals and let them temporarily move away from their residence near Jiufengling.

This time, the beast tide headed straight for the Zhou family's mountain gate at Jiufeng Ridge, which prevented any casualties among the Zhou family's mortals.

However, if the main force of the beast tide pushes towards the Zhou family’s mountain gate next time, those mortals of the Zhou family who live not far from Jiufeng Ridge will definitely be affected.

As the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Chun naturally could not let this happen.

Two days later, Zhou Mingde successfully returned to the Zhou family with the materials to repair the "Five Directions Miro Formation". Zhou Chongshan also ignored his own injuries and worked day and night to repair the "Five Directions Miro Formation".

On the other hand, after there was no news from the beast group sent to attack the Zhou family, the leader of the Red Dragon Hall seemed to have no other actions. Even the advancement speed of the main force of the beast tide decreased, and they only advanced less than 300 miles in two days.

However, the subsequent development of the situation once again exceeded the expectations of Zhou Chun and others.

On this day, an order from Qinglian Temple stunned several senior members of the Zhou family.

The content of the order was very simple, ordering the two Purple Mansion Stage cultivators and three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Zhou family to come out immediately to participate in clearing out the monsters that were wreaking havoc in Lanzhou.

The reason for issuing such an order is very simple. That is, all the third-level and fourth-level monsters in the beast tide have fled Lanzhou. Now only the first-level and second-level monsters that have lost the restraint of these high-level monsters are scattered around Lanzhou and causing trouble.

The reason why these third-level and fourth-level monsters fled Lanzhou was because of the changes on the front line of Yunzhou.

It turned out that after learning that the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Jiaolong Clan would unexpectedly invest their forces in Lanzhou, the leaders of the three major sects in Yunzhou also made a bold move in an instant.

They secretly contacted the Fengguo Corpse Demon Sect, and suddenly all the Jindan-stage and Zifu-stage cultivators rushed out from the formation stronghold and had a huge fight with the third- and fourth-level monsters in the beast tide.

In this great melee, with the help of sixteen fourth-level refined corpses and four Jindan-stage monks who came to support from the Corpse Demon Cult, the human coalition forces finally won.

The cultivator who came to the Zhou family to deliver the message did not know the specific casualties on both sides. He only knew that after this battle, the beast tide offensive on the front line of Yunzhou was greatly frustrated, and it seemed that they were no longer able to fight.

So the situation is very clear. The third-level and fourth-level monsters in Lanzhou suddenly abandoned their herds and left, obviously because they received the news.

After all, with the main force of the beast tide in Yunzhou suffering a setback, the human coalition only needed to spare a few Jindan stage cultivators to make them pay.

If they don't run away now, it will be difficult for them to run away later.

After learning the inside story, the Zhou family members naturally could no longer refuse the Qinglian Temple's order.

So Zhou Mingde immediately took Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Jiahe and left the family gate to clear out the monsters that were roaming around and causing trouble.

However, not long after the group left Zhou Family Mountain Gate, suddenly a beam of communication fire fell into Zhou Mingde's hands.

He raised his hand and waved over the communication fire formed by the Thousand Mile Communication Talisman. After reading the contents inside, his face suddenly changed to anger.

"Grand Elder, what happened to you? Who sent this communication talisman?"

Seeing that his expression was not right, Zhou Daoyi quickly asked about the situation.

"Let's land first."

Zhou Mingde shook his head slightly and immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and his companions had no choice but to land together.

After reaching the ground, Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Jiahe were signaled by Zhou Mingde to go to the periphery for alert, leaving Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun alone.

This action made the two of them look moved, as if they realized something.

Sure enough, after Zhou Mingde set up the spiritual consciousness soundproof barrier, he said to the two of them: "The communication talisman was sent by Lin Hongyu herself. She said that the leader of the Red Dragon Hall might have left the earth-turning dragon to deal with us and wanted to capture Daoyi's Qing Jiao. In addition, she also said that the Red Fire Jiao and she have already gone to Yunzhou, so please go to Yunzhou as soon as possible!"

"What? The Earth-Turning Dragon is coming to attack us?"

Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi were both shocked and stunned by this sudden news.

Then both of them felt a little panicked, especially Zhou Daoyi, who was the target of the earth-turning dragon. It was even more difficult for him to stay calm.

He is just an early stage Purple Mansion cultivator who has just opened up his Purple Mansion not long ago!

How could he have the ability to allow a fourth-order intermediate-grade monster to deal with him personally!
"Although I also think this is unreliable, Lin Hongyu has never given us false information so far, not to mention that this time she used a treasure like the Thousand Mile Communication Talisman to warn us!"

When Zhou Mingde said this, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and said, "Daoyi, you should leave Lanzhou immediately. Only if you stay with those Jindan-stage cultivators, the Earth-Turning Dragon will not dare to risk its own death to attack you!"

"But what should I say when I leave Lanzhou? Should I tell them that we already know that the Earth-Turning Dragon will attack me?"

Zhou Daoyi spoke of his concerns with a grim expression, and he was indeed confused.

"You don't need any excuse. You are just ordered to clean up the rebellious monsters. There is no one to supervise you. After you go to the frontline base in Yunzhou, even if the seniors of Qinglian Temple here know about it, they will definitely not blame you for it."

"At worst, you can just say that you are worried about the family monks on the front line in Yunzhou, so you will go there to visit them after the situation in Lanzhou is clear!"

Zhou Chun calmed himself down and spoke clearly to help Zhou Daoyi think of a name and an excuse.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Mingde nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhengchun is right, Daoyi, just say it like this, no one will pursue it so much at this time."

But Zhou Daoyi said with a worried look on his face: "What if they can't find me and the Earth Dragon attacks our family?"

"What can we do if there is no dragon? If you are here, you will be powerless to stop the earth-turning dragon from attacking the family. Do we really expect you to stand up and let it kill you?"

When Zhou Mingde said this, he also patted Zhou Daoyi on the shoulder and urged him, "Okay, don't worry about this or that. Just be careful and take care of yourself. Don't worry about the family for the time being. Let's go!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also urged: "Yes, clan leader, please leave quickly. Maybe after the earth-turning dragon knows that you have left Lanzhou, it will follow you!"

"Okay, I'll be leaving first, and you guys take care of yourselves!"

Zhou Daoyi gritted his teeth, stood up and saluted Zhou Mingde, then rode his dragon into the air and flew towards Yunzhou.
