Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 58: Great Victory, Pursuit of Victory

Outside Jinfeng Ridge, corpses were everywhere.

There were corpses of people from the five major immortal cultivation families as well as corpses of cultivators from the Qiyun League, but most of them were left by the latter.

At this time, the war was over, and the five major immortal cultivation families won.

But although this battle was won, it was a pyrrhic victory!
Among the 173 cultivators from the five major immortal cultivation families who took part in the battle, 35 died on the spot, seven others suffered amputations, and dozens more were injured, both large and small.

Even two Foundation Establishment cultivators died and many others were injured.

"The statistics are out. In this battle, we killed eleven Qiyun League Foundation Establishment cultivators, severely injured three, killed one hundred and eighty-nine Qi Refining cultivators, and injured countless others!"

"In addition, most of the spoils of the enemies killed in this battle have been obtained by our monks, and a small part was taken away by the escaping enemies."

Inside the Sun family mountain gate in Jinfengling, Sun Zhongping, the head of the Sun family who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield and counting the results of the battle, hurried into the hall and reported the statistical results to everyone who was meditating and healing in the hall.

The cultivator sitting at the top of the hall at this time had become Zhou Mingde from the Zhou family.

As for Sun Yaowu, the middle-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, he has already returned to Qinglian Temple overnight to seek help from his senior masters in the sect to heal his wounds.

It turned out that in the previous battle, Zhou Mingde gave up the advantage he had gained and went to help Sun Yaowu for the sake of the overall situation.

But no one expected that Tang Yuan actually hid a secret treasure [Yang Fire Thunder Pearl].

Seeing Zhou Mingde coming to help Sun Yaowu, Tang Yuan immediately threw the object at Sun Yaowu.

As a result, Sun Yaowu was caught off guard and was seriously injured in the explosion, and his body was almost destroyed!

After Tang Yuan succeeded in his attack, he did not have the courage to kill the core disciples of Qinglian Temple. He directly turned his target and killed Zhou Mingde, preparing to kill Zhou Mingde with his sword.

But he also underestimated the Zhou family's background!
At the critical moment, Zhou Mingde also took out an extremely rare [Heavenly Thunder Scroll] and activated it at him on the spot.

The [Heavenly Thunder Treasure Scroll] is a secret talisman that was made by a Jindan-stage cultivator by collecting the power of heavenly thunder and sealed using advanced talisman-making techniques. Its power is comparable to that of a Jindan-stage cultivator making his own moves.

After Tang Yuan was hit by this talisman, the trauma he suffered was no less serious than that suffered by Sun Yaowu.

How could he dare to stay on the battlefield at that time? He simply used the secret escape technique to escape from the battlefield without saying a word.

Seeing that Tang Yuan, a late Purple Mansion cultivator, was nearly killed on the spot by the [Heavenly Thunder Scroll], the remaining two vice-leaders of the Qiyun League dared not to stay on the battlefield. Who knows if Zhou Mingde has another [Heavenly Thunder Scroll] in his hand?
Therefore, victory was determined directly after the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators on both sides decided the winner.

Because Zhou Mingde severely injured Tang Yuan, it was natural for him to be the leader of the five major immortal cultivation families at this time.

After listening to the words of Sun Zhongping, the head of the Sun family, Zhou Mingde immediately swept his eyes over all the cultivators in the hall and said slowly: "My fellow Taoists, although our losses in this battle are not small, the results are also brilliant and huge, and it can be said to be a great victory!"

"But if you fail to kill the snake, you may get bitten by it."

"After this battle, we and the Qiyun League will have a blood feud. If we don't take advantage of Tang Yuan's severe injury now to destroy him, the consequences will be unpredictable when he recovers from his injury!"

At this point, Zhou Mingde paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression: "Therefore, I suggest that the five major families should come out in full force right now, and before those thieves from the Qiyun League can react, we should first surround their headquarters, and when the follow-up troops arrive, we will attack the mountain and break through the formation, and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

After he finished speaking, no one in the hall responded for a long time.

The monks in the temple knew the principle of not killing the snake.

However, it is not an easy task to besiege the headquarters of the Qiyun League with the intention of destroying it in one fell swoop.

Even if it was done, the casualties of the five major immortal cultivation families would definitely be greater than in the previous battle.

You must know that the monks who died in the war were all relatives of the monks present!

The death of dozens of people has already made them feel very uncomfortable. If more people die, I am afraid the vitality of the family will be seriously damaged.

Even they themselves might not be able to save their lives at that time.

So at this time, even though they knew that what Zhou Mingde said was right and made a lot of sense, the cultivators from various sects did not respond immediately.

After a long silence, Wang Guangping, a cultivator from the Purple Palace of the Wang Family, spoke up and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is right, but I think we can just pretend to do this, but if we really want to attack the mountain and break the formation, we still need to think carefully!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the monks in the hall immediately echoed them.

"Yes, yes, Senior Wang is right. We can just do it to scare those casualties. Attacking the mountain and breaking the formation will cause too many casualties. It's better not to do it if we can!"

"What Fellow Daoist Sun said makes sense. Independent cultivators are not easily frightened. As long as we make a big noise, we might be able to force the Qiyun League to disband on its own!"

"I also think that if it is possible to avoid attacking the mountain and breaking the formation, it is better not to do such a thing!"

Except for the two foundation-building cultivators from the Zhou family who did not speak out, most of the foundation-building cultivators from other families spoke out in agreement with what Wang Guangping said. They all did not want to fight another tough battle.

In fact, it is not surprising that they do this, nor is it that they lack foresight.

But the reality is that the reason they went to war with the Qiyun League this time was because the Qiyun League's rampant attitude made them feel that their status was challenged, so they were ready to teach the Qiyun League a lesson. Now, after a head-on battle, they have used a big victory to prove their strength and status to the entire Lanzhou cultivation world.

It can be said that the goal of going to war has been achieved.

Under such circumstances, how could they be willing to risk a large number of deaths and fight to the death with the Qiyun League?

Faced with the overwhelming opposition, although Zhou Mingde felt a little regretful, he would not really ignore the opinions of the majority.

He immediately nodded and said, "Since all of you Taoists think that the current situation is not suitable for another tough battle of attacking the mountain and breaking the formation, then let's surround them first and create momentum!"

So after meditating and resting for a while and recovering their magic power, the masters from the five major immortal cultivation families on the Sun family's side flew to the headquarters of the Qiyun League together.

At the same time, the remaining monks of the five major immortal cultivation families who received the news soon sent people with some Qi Refining cultivators to the headquarters of the Qiyun League, creating an posture of really wanting to destroy the Qiyun League.

This momentum made those forces that had been paying attention to both sides feel suspicious and uncertain, and they were not sure whether they were serious.

The two vice-leaders of the Qiyun League, who had just returned to the Qiyun League headquarters and hadn't even sat down yet, were now as anxious as ants on a hot pan, unable to sit still.

"What should we do? Now that the leader is not here, what should we do?"

Deputy Alliance Leader Wei Feng muttered to himself with a grim expression.

Although he did not mention anyone by name, there were only him and another deputy alliance leader, Zhang Zixuan, in the room, and he was obviously asking about the other party.

But Zhang Zixuan was still very anxious now, so how could he answer his question?

At the moment, he could only whisper, "Wait a moment. Although the leader is not here, we have already notified him using the Thousand Mile Communication Talisman. Even if he is in seclusion, there is no way he would not receive the Thousand Mile Communication Talisman!"

Hearing this, Wei Feng moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back.

Finally, he could only sigh and say, "Alas! This is the only way!"

Even a dignified Purple Mansion Stage cultivator can only sigh now.

Zhou Chun, who was in the market town, quickly received the news that the Qiyun League had suffered a great defeat and the mountain gate was surrounded.

As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

The Qiyun Alliance rose so rapidly in less than twenty years, so it naturally offended and harmed countless people.

Although many people do not have the ability to retaliate against them, it is still easy for them to spread the news after seeing them suffer a setback.

What's more, the five major immortal cultivation families themselves were also working hard to publicize the results of the battle at Jinfeng Ridge and the siege of the Qiyun League's mountain gate.

"Even the mountain gate has been surrounded. It seems that even if the Qiyun League is not destroyed this time, its momentum will be greatly weakened. It will definitely have to stay quiet and endure for a while!"

"The five great immortal cultivation families are indeed worthy of being family forces with a long history. Their foundation is indeed not comparable to that of upstarts like the Qiyun League!"

In the Spirit Beast House, Zhou Chun combined the information he got from various sources and made his own judgment.

Then he remembered another matter that was currently being hotly discussed in the market town, which was that Zhou Daoyi, the head of the Zhou family, controlled a dragon to kill three foundation-building monks from the Qiyun League.

Of course Zhou Chun knew that Zhou Daoyi did not tame any dragons, but only a sky blue cloud python.

Therefore, the dragon mentioned in the news was most likely the transformation of the Sky Blue Cloud Python, and it must have been temporarily catalyzed by some secret technique, rather than a true evolution into a dragon.

"Since the clan leader's Azure Cloud Python can use secret techniques to temporarily catalyze and transform into a dragon, then my Silver Lightning Thunder Python should be able to do the same after it grows to the second stage, right?"

"The Third Elder told me to pay more attention to purchasing spiritual objects such as dragon blood grass and dragon blood stone. Was it because he knew that there was such a secret technique in the family that he asked me to prepare for it in advance?"

Zhou Chun felt that this was probably the case.

Then his heart suddenly became hot.

It is extremely difficult to evolve the Silver Lightning Python into a dragon.

However, if one could temporarily transform into a dragon and master some of the dragon's magical powers, that would be a very powerful skill.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhou Daoyi, who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to kill a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and two other Foundation Establishment cultivators in a row.

If Zhou Chun can master this secret technique in the future, then after he successfully builds his foundation, his strength will only be stronger than Zhou Daoyi.

After all, the lightning spells mastered by the Silver Thunder Python are much more powerful than the wind spells mastered by the Sky Cloud Python!
