Chapter 256: The War is Over, Counting the Harvest [Three Updates, Please Subscribe]

Golden Dragon Altar.

Half a day after Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi returned from the pursuit, the Jindan stage cultivators began to return here one after another.

Some Jindan stage cultivators returned with joy on their faces, obviously having successfully killed powerful enemies.

Some of them have gloomy or indifferent expressions, which mostly means they have failed.

So when they came back about a day later, Liu Yiping also came back with his men.

At that time, Liu Yiping brought a late Jindan cultivator and three middle Jindan cultivators to chase the Black Dragon Hall Master Di Long and the fourth-grade top-quality black dragon.

But when they came back, there were only Liu Yiping, the late Jindan cultivator, and a middle Jindan cultivator, and all three of them were injured.

Later, the two people from the Zhou family learned that although Liu Yiping and others successfully caught up with Ti Lung and the Black Flood Dragon, after a fierce battle, the Black Flood Dragon exploded its inner elixir when it had no way to escape!

Because the black dragon's inner elixir exploded, a middle-stage Jindan cultivator was killed on the spot and another was seriously injured.

The seriously injured man was then killed by Dillon, the leader of the Black Dragon Hall.

What’s even more regrettable is that in the end, Ti Lung escaped from Liu Yiping and others and failed to save his life.

It is hard to say whether it is a profit or a loss to exchange the lives of two mid-stage Jindan cultivators for the life of a fourth-rank upper-grade dragon!
Not long after, Taoist Nun Qingsu also returned with her people.

She went to chase the Blood Flame Dragon from the Blood Dragon Hall, but ended up failing. She didn't gain anything, and of course didn't lose any manpower.

As time passed slowly, most of the Jindan stage cultivators who had gone out to pursue the enemy came back one after another, and in the end only Jin Chixuan's team was left.

This made the two members of the Zhou family, who had been keeping an eye on the situation of Jin Chixuan's team, feel extremely nervous and in a very complicated mood.

After waiting for a long time, almost two days after the Golden Dragon Altar Formation was broken, Jin Chixuan finally brought his men back.

He succeeded!

After a fierce battle that lasted for more than a day, he successfully killed the seriously injured fourth-level intermediate-grade red fire dragon, and also killed the master of the Red Dragon Hall.

However, although the gains were great, the losses were also not small.

One of the three mid-stage Jindan cultivators he brought with him died, and the early-stage Jindan cultivator was also seriously injured. He and the other two mid-stage Jindan cultivators were also seriously injured.

It is worth mentioning that the severely injured early Jindan cultivator was Yu Jinghua who betrayed the Zhou family!

Therefore, when the two members of the Zhou family learned about the gains and losses of Jin Chixuan's team, they were overjoyed.

If they were not afraid of offending Jin Chixuan, the two of them would probably go to Yu Jinghua and ridicule each other.

In the end, everyone's gains were summarized in Liu Yiping's hands, and the result of this final battle came out.

In this battle, the National Salvation Army killed a total of five Jindan-stage monks from the Hualong Sect, two fourth-level flood dragons, two fourth-level monsters, twenty-one Zifu-stage monks, and four third-level monsters.

On the other hand, the National Salvation Army lost three Jindan-stage cultivators, one was seriously injured, and many were injured. In addition, two Zifu-stage cultivators were killed and seven were injured.

Judging from this battle report, the Yasukuni Alliance undoubtedly won a great victory.

Counting the gains from the previous battle at the Fulong stronghold, the gains from the previous southern expedition, and the gains made by the Corpse Demon Cult at the Qinglong Hall, after these series of battles, the total number of Jindan-stage cultivators killed from the Hualong Cult exceeded twenty, five fourth-order dragons were killed, and more than ten fourth-order monsters were killed.

You should know that there are only more than thirty Jindan-stage cultivators in the Hualong Sect, but now two-thirds of them have been lost.

And most of the dragons that the Dragon Transformation Sect had cultivated with great difficulty also died at once!
But these are not the worst. The worst thing is that more than one hundred Purple Mansion Stage guardians of the Hualong Sect have been killed, and there are less than twenty survivors!
The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the other six branch temples suffered a loss of 80 to 90 percent!
Without these losses, even if the Hualong Sect can keep its headquarters after this incident, it will take more than three to five hundred years for it to make a comeback, and it may not even have that opportunity.

After all, times now are different from the past. After knowing that the Hualong Sect is in deep collusion with the Jiaolong Clan, even with the protection of the Jiaolong Clan it cannot be completely destroyed. The three major sects of Jingguo will never give it a chance to develop again.

Therefore, when the battle report came out, even Liu Yiping, who had originally had a gloomy and ugly expression, smiled again.

He put down the battle report in his hand, looked at Jin Chixuan and Taoist Nun Qingsu with a smile and said, "Although our sects have suffered heavy losses this time, we have made such great gains. I think the ancestors will be satisfied with the results of our expedition."

"Next, we will withdraw our troops and return home, waiting for the next instructions from the ancestors!"

However, after hearing what he said, Taoist nun Qingsu expressed a different opinion.

She said slowly, "I think it's too early to withdraw our troops and return home. We can't destroy the main altar of the Hualong Sect, but the Blood Dragon Branch Altar is still there. I suggest that we go to the Blood Dragon Branch Altar and destroy it before withdrawing our troops!"

Go attack the Blood Dragon branch again?
Liu Yiping was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Taoist Nun Qingsu, then looked at Jin Chixuan beside him and asked, "What did Daoist Fellow Jin say?"

Jin Chixuan heard this and after a moment's hesitation, he replied, "I think Daoist Fellow Qingsu's suggestion makes sense. Now that the remnants of the Hualong Sect have fled to the main altar, the Blood Dragon Branch Altar is only an empty shell. I think it won't take much effort to destroy it."

"Well, since both of you think so, let's go to the Blood Dragon Altar!"

Liu Yiping nodded and readily agreed to Taoist Nun Qingsu's suggestion.

So he immediately asked the seriously injured Yu Jinghua and several seriously injured Jindan stage cultivators to return to Jingguo with some wounded and prisoners, and then gathered the remaining capable men and rushed to the Blood Dragon Branch Altar again.

At this time, the Blood Dragon branch altar was indeed guarded by only some Foundation Establishment cultivators and two Dragon Transformation Sect guardians.

When dozens of Jindan-stage cultivators and more than a hundred Zifu-stage cultivators arrived, the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators in the Blood Dragon branch were almost frightened to death.

The two guardians of the Dragon Transformation Sect didn't even care that they had been planted with the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" at this moment. They were so scared that they led their men to open the formation and surrender.

Seeing that they were so sensible, Liu Yiping and others were very satisfied. They immediately decided to rest in the Blood Dragon Branch Temple for a day before returning home. After all, they were tired from the continuous battles and journeys.

But in fact, after resting for less than half a day, Liu Yiping suddenly received a message from Master Yin Yue.

After a remote communication with Master Yin Yue, Liu Yiping hurriedly led his men to destroy the Blood Dragon Branch's mountain protection formation, and then returned to Jingguo with the things looted from the Blood Dragon Branch and the captives.

It turned out that after a battle that lasted for many days, the battle between the fifth-level beings on both sides also came to an end.

The result was naturally that the Jingguo Coalition won, and they successfully killed a deputy leader of the Hualong Sect, severely injured its leader and two deputy leaders, and severely injured two of the five dragons that came to help.

The defeated leader of the Hualong Sect could only flee back to the Hualong Sect headquarters with the remaining three deputy leaders, and activated the headquarters' mountain protection formation to resist the attack from Yinyue Zhenren and others.

According to the intention of Yin Yue Zhenren and others, they were going to take this opportunity to directly destroy the main altar of the Hualong Sect and completely destroy the Hualong Sect. But at this time, a fifth-level dragon from Longyuanze brought the decree of the Golden Horned Dragon King, the king of the dragon clan, asking them to leave the wilderness immediately.

This obviously means that they want to protect the Hualong Sect.

Although True Man Yin Yue and others were unwilling to accept this, they did not dare to disobey the order of the king of the Longyuanze demon clan.

In the end, they could only withdraw their troops first, and then find an opportunity to appeal the matter to the human powerful who was able to compete with the Golden Horned Dragon King.

Since even True Man Yin Yue and others were expelled from the wilderness by an order from the Golden Horned Dragon King, Liu Yiping certainly did not dare to stay in the wilderness any longer after learning about this.

Fortunately, the leader of the Hualong Sect and others had no time to cause trouble for them at this time. After fleeing in fear all the way, the group finally returned to Jingguo smoothly.

After returning to Yunzhou, Liu Yiping immediately ordered that all the recruited cultivators could now freely return to their own caves. As for their military exploits, after the three major sects had finished counting them, they would naturally be converted into relevant rewards and distributed to them.

Of course, this time may be a bit long, because it also involves a series of related matters such as compensation for fallen monks.

But no matter what, the war is over now.

Even if they have to continue to fight against the Hualong Sect, they will no longer forcibly recruit monks from various immortal cultivation families. At most, they will do it through offering rewards.

Therefore, after learning the news that they could return home, all the cultivators from various immortal cultivation families who were still staying on the front line in Yunzhou were ecstatic and filled with endless joy.

Even many monks from the three major sects breathed a sigh of relief and were equally happy.

After Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi learned about this, they immediately returned to their family with Zhou Zhengyong and others who stayed in the Fulong stronghold.

Compared to those Zhou family monks who died in the front-line stronghold of Bi Yan Ze, Zhou Zhengyong and others were undoubtedly lucky.

When they were stationed at the Fulong stronghold, because the stronghold's protective formation was never broken, all thirty people were not injured and were able to return to their families safely.

After flying for less than two days, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi finally returned to the Zhou family.

They also brought back the news of the end of the war to the Zhou family.

"Great, the war is finally over!"

Inside the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, Zhou Chun clapped his hands in joy after hearing the news that the war was over. He felt a lot more relaxed.

Like many people, he had been looking forward to this day coming soon.

Now that the war is finally over, and it ended with a great victory for the Yasukuni Shrine, how could he not feel happy?

As Zhou Mingde and the other man told Zhou Chun about the battle at the Fulong stronghold and the Golden Dragon branch, Zhou Chun became even happier.

He couldn't help but shout out in joy: "Triple happiness! This is triple happiness for our Zhou family!"

It is indeed a triple blessing.

Whether it is the end of the war, or Lin Hongyu getting rid of her bondage with the help of the Zhou family, or Yu Jinghua the traitor being severely damaged, it is all happy events for the Zhou family.

"Yes, it is indeed a triple blessing. Our Zhou family will also have a lot of fun in the future!"

Zhou Mingde also nodded with a smile on his face, and agreed with Zhou Chun's description.

In order to celebrate these three happy events, Zhou Chun and two Zhou family Purple Mansion cultivators had a brief discussion and decided to celebrate for seven days.

Within seven days, any cultivator who comes to the Zhou family to practice will not be charged spirit coins. At the same time, they can enjoy a meal of monster meat processed by the Zhou family every day, as well as spirit wine and spirit tea.

All Zhou family cultivators, regardless of their level of cultivation, received a special reward of 100 spirit coins as a reward for their contributions to the family during the war.

During these seven days, even Purple Mansion Stage cultivators like Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi completely relaxed, either feasting with fellow cultivators or taking a deep sleep, just wanting to indulge themselves.

After seven days, when everyone had recovered from the atmosphere of celebration and carnival, they began to deal with post-war matters.

There is indeed a lot of post-war stuff to deal with.

For example, there are issues such as compensation for the Zhou family members who died in battle, how to deal with the harvest from the war, communication and contact with other families, and even the establishment of pioneering outposts. A series of things need to be dealt with.

Among these, the issue of pensions is easier to deal with, as the Zhou family is not short of money now.

After discussion among the top leaders, it was decided to give two thousand family merits, or two thousand spirit coins, to the relatives of the Zhou family cultivators who died in battle.

If someone has no relatives who are monks, then there will be no compensation.

This amount of compensation is already very high. After all, most of the Zhou family cultivators who died in the battle were only in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Therefore, even though the relatives of those monks were inevitably sad, they had no objections to this.

After dealing with the issue of compensation for the fallen clansmen, Zhou Chun ordered most of the returning Qi Refining cultivators, such as Zhou Zhengyong, to get busy with the processing and production of rations for spirit beasts, and to turn all the monster corpses stored in the family into rations for spirit beasts as soon as possible.

For this purpose, Zhou Chun even allowed them to recruit some independent cultivators to help.

Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and other high-level monks of the Zhou family were also not idle. They needed to count and calculate the Zhou family's gains from this war.

The Zhou family reaped huge benefits from this war.

Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and their companions killed many monks and looted many storage bags, many of which they had not yet thoroughly counted.

At this time, they have to count and classify everything, summarize it, and then discuss how to deal with the harvest.

This kind of work of counting the harvest is tiring but also happy.

After the three of them spent most of the day counting, they finally finished counting dozens of storage bags and sorted out all the things they had directly gained from the war.

"Huh, we finally figured it out. If this list were to be seen by outsiders, I'm afraid even the Jindan-stage cultivators would be unable to resist and come to rob us!"

Inside Zhou Mingde's cave, Zhou Chun looked at the list of items in his hand and couldn't help but joked with the two elders with a smile on his face.

Huh, the third update is finally finished, I can watch the game with peace of mind!
