Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 608: The Great Beast Tide [Subscription Request]

The impending outbreak of the beast tide is a matter of great importance, and can even be said to be a matter of life and death.

However, this time Zhou Chun did not plan to report the matter to the Yuelun Sect or the Yanyang Sect.

If he reports this matter now, the Zhou family's preparations will be difficult to carry out, and people will also question how he discovered this matter.

After thinking it over, I decided to pretend I knew nothing and make preparations secretly.

Anyway, if a huge beast tide really breaks out, such a big movement cannot be concealed from anyone. Several major forces have arranged high-level monks to be stationed at the border, and they will get the news in advance.

The only thing is that they cannot stockpile supplies and evacuate personnel in advance like the Zhou family did.

After Zhou Chun reached a consensus with Zhou Mingde, the two of them took action separately.

Zhou Chun was responsible for going to the Great Zhou Kingdom to purchase war supplies and notify Zhou Daoyi and Lin Hongyu, while Zhou Mingde was responsible for related matters within the family.

But before Zhou Chun left, Zhou Mingde returned the original item to him.

"War is coming, so you should give this demon pill to your Hellfire Phoenix, Zhengchun, to help it reach the fourth-level intermediate grade!"

The demon pill he mentioned was exactly the fourth-level [Fire Scale Lion] demon pill that Zhou Chun had exchanged for the Fire God Jackal.

Originally, I wanted to use this demon pill to let the Fire God Jackal take a gamble and see if it could help him break through to the fourth level.

As a result, the Fire God Jackal broke through to the fourth level directly after taking the "Emperor's Liquid", so the demon pill was saved.

However, in terms of potential and strength, the Fire God Jackal is obviously far inferior to the Hell Fire Phoenix.

That's why Zhou Mingde did what he did now.

Zhou Chun also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he did not refuse this time. He quickly took the demon pill and fed it to the Yanyu Fire Phoenix on the spot.

Speaking of which, Shitou, the golden-armored mountain turtle, has almost finished digesting the fourth-grade low-grade demon pill, and his cultivation is already on the verge of a breakthrough.

Perhaps when the great beast tide really breaks out, both of his spirit pets will be able to break through to the fourth-level intermediate grade!

This time when he went to the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Chun specially brought his apprentice Zhou Zhiying with him.

In name, he was taking her to the Great Zhou Kingdom to travel and broaden her horizons, but in reality, he was taking her away from Jingguo, which was about to become a battlefield, in advance.

According to the plan, she will be taken care of by Zhou Daoyi in the Great Zhou Kingdom until the war in Jingguo comes to an end.

With her and Zhou Daoyi around, even if Jingguo loses, the Zhou family will still be able to make a comeback.

Zhou Zhiying was still unaware of all this at the moment, and just set out on the journey with Zhou Chun full of anticipation and longing.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun was in a real hurry this time and did not make many stops in the countries along the way. In order not to expose the [Divine Jar of Purifying Heaven and Earth], he selectively stopped in several towns and cities.

This made her quite regretful and depressed.

Fortunately, as the two arrived at Tianyuan Immortal City, the majestic and magnificent immortal city quickly attracted Zhou Zhiying's attention.

She had never seen such a magnificent and huge fairy city!

Looking at the magnificent fairy city at this moment, she was filled with shock, just like Zhou Chun when she first saw the fairy city.

Then I was extremely curious and wanted to go in and see the details.

She immediately looked at Zhou Chun eagerly and begged, "Master, can you let me move freely in the fairy city? I want to travel around this fairy city!"

After hearing her request, Zhou Chun looked at her calmly and said, "It's okay to let you move around the city alone, but you must set three rules: you must not conflict with others, you must not reveal your background, and you must not leave the city without permission!"

"If you can do these three things, I will let you move freely in the Immortal City!"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiying's face suddenly became overjoyed, and he nodded repeatedly and said, "Disciple agrees. Disciple will definitely remember Master's instructions and will never violate these three points!"

"In that case, you can go on your own!"

Zhou Chun looked at her in silence for a while, then nodded slightly and said something that made her smile.

Then the master and disciple went into the city separately.

After Zhou Chun entered the city, he naturally went first to the cave where Zhou Daoyi and his wife rented.

At this time, only a few years had passed since the last planning of "Emperor Liujiang", and Zhou Daoyi and his wife were still hiding in the city.

Zhou Chun met the two of them smoothly.

"Zhengchun, since you've come here, I guess the results of your spirit pet's breakthrough have come out. How is it? Has it succeeded?"

Inside the cave, after seeing Zhou Chun who came to visit, Zhou Daoyi immediately asked about the result of the Golden Winged Tiger's breakthrough with a concerned look on his face.

Although Zhou Chun was full of thoughts, he was not in a hurry to speak out. He just nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, not only has the Golden Winged Tiger successfully broken through to the fourth level, but the Supreme Elder's Fire God Jackal has also successfully broken through!"

Hearing his answer, Zhou Daoyi's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but applaud and said, "Great! This is really a double happiness, and it's all clear!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also asked, "Uncle, where is your Qing Jiao? It should have successfully been promoted to a third-level upper-grade monster by now."

"Thanks to you, Zhengchun, Qingqing has not only successfully advanced to the third-grade upper grade, but its bloodline has also improved. Although it is still far inferior to your Lei Jiao Baibai, it should not be a problem for it to break through to the fourth grade in the future!"

When Zhou Daoyi said this, his face was full of smiles.

In the past, he was worried that he would hold Qing Jiao Qing Qing back and might not be able to accompany his beloved pet to the fourth level.

However, he did not expect that the opportunity would come to him, and he succeeded in forming the elixir first. However, his pet Qingqing's cultivation level regressed due to the forbidden drugs she had taken, which greatly hindered her progress in cultivation.

This matter has always been a regret in his heart, and he feels ashamed of his beloved pet.

Now, with the help of the third-grade top-quality demon pill and the "Emperor's Flowing Juice" given by Zhou Chun, Qing Jiao has finally caught up in terms of cultivation, and the quality of his bloodline has also been greatly improved. He has finally reaped the rewards after all the hard work.

As a result, he was relieved of his worries and was in a good mood.

Unfortunately, his good mood was destined not to last long.

Because Zhou Chun quickly explained the purpose of his visit!
As expected, when hearing that the Longxing Valley stronghold was attacked and destroyed, and a huge beast tide was brewing, not only Zhou Daoyi's expression changed, but even Lin Hongyu, who had not spoken at the side, also changed his expression.

Both of them knew how much harm it would bring to Jingguo and the Zhou family once the beast tide broke out.

That would definitely be a disaster that would lead to the destruction of the Zhou family!

"This is such a disaster!"

Zhou Daoyi muttered to himself, his face looking very unhappy.

But after all, he had been the clan leader for a long time, and now he was a Jindan-stage cultivator. After a brief moment of shock and distraction, he quickly regained his rationality.

After a brief pause, he looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "How is the family going to deal with this matter? Is there anything you need me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied, "I have already discussed this with the Grand Elder. The family has made two preparations. On the one hand, we are actively preparing for war, and on the other hand, we are arranging for those young members with potential to leave Jingguo to preserve a spark of hope for the family!"

"After these young members of the clan leave Jingguo, they will need your secret care and protection."

"Also, my great aunt may have to go back and fight the beast tide together with the younger generation to avoid being criticized!"

At this point, he also added: "This time, I have brought Ying'er out as well. For the next period of time, I need you to look after her and protect her to ensure that nothing happens to her before she reaches the late stage of Purple Mansion cultivation."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Daoyi nodded seriously and said, "I understand. Just leave these matters to me. I will definitely not let the family down!"

After making this promise, he looked at Zhou Chun solemnly and earnestly warned him: "Just Zhengchun, you guys have to be more careful. If it's really impossible, even if you have to cut off your own arm and evacuate Jingguo, it won't hurt!"

"As long as all of us Jindan-stage cultivators are still alive, even if there are only a few dozen or a hundred people left in the family, we will be able to make a comeback within three hundred years and regain our present glory!"

When the Zhou family first arrived in Jiufengling and settled down, there were only a few dozen members.

Now, three hundred years have passed, and the Zhou family has become what it is today.

So what Zhou Daoyi said was not false.

Of course, both Zhou Chun and he knew that this was just a last resort.

If they really have a choice, they will definitely want to preserve the Yasukuni foundation.

After all, those who have experienced it know exactly how hard it is to start over again.

"I know what's going on, so just relax!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and responded solemnly. He then handed over the spiritual coins and related spiritual objects he brought to Zhou Daoyi, asking him to contact and buy related war supplies.

He quickly left Zhou Daoyi's cave and went to Luo Qingni.

Luo Qingni was also practicing alchemy in the cave as usual.

As an alchemist, she basically does not need to go out for adventure to obtain good cultivation resources, so she can stay in her cave most of the time.

However, although this is stable, it also loses the opportunity for rapid progress. It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

After some polite exchanges, Zhou Chun looked at the beauty in front of him with a serious expression and said, "I'm visiting you this time because I have something to trouble Brother Luo for help!"

"Oh, Brother Zhou is so serious, what's the matter?"

Luo Qingni's expression changed, and she looked at Zhou Chun with a little surprise and asked for details.

Zhou Chun also trusted her very much and did not hesitate to reveal to her the details about the brewing great beast tide.

After hearing this, Luo Qingni was also a little shocked.

It is impossible for a place like the Great Zhou Kingdom to have such a beast tide erupt.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't know the dangers of the beast tide.

After all, there are many areas in the world of immortal cultivation where monsters live in groups, such as the wilderness, and the beast tide is naturally not unique to there.

After the shock, she looked at Zhou Chun with a puzzled look and said, "Since you know that a great beast tide may break out and Jingguo may not be able to defend it, why does Brother Zhou still want to take the risk? Why not take advantage of the convenience of foresight and transfer the family members and property in time to avoid this disaster!"

Hearing her words, Zhou Chun was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This is purely an amateur's talk, typical individualistic thinking of a casual cultivator!

As a casual cultivator, if faced with this situation, the first thing that would naturally come to mind is to flee far away, no matter whether Jingguo is dead or alive!
However, as a family of immortal cultivators, this approach is obviously only chosen as a last resort.

After all, not to mention things like local sentiment and personal connections, just abandoning the two blessed places that the families had worked so hard to obtain, as well as a large number of ordinary clansmen, would cripple the Zhou family!
Moreover, if they left Jingguo, where would the Zhou family find a blessed mountain that could accommodate several Jindan-stage cultivators for cultivation in a short period of time?
Another thing is, how could the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect just sit back and watch if someone deserted the battlefield like this?

As for other highway robbery forces that you may encounter on the way to escape, there is no need to say more!
The Zhou family has the protection of the Yuelun Sect in Jingguo, and the Yuanying stage immortals from other countries will abide by the rules and not attack them.

Once you abandon Yasukuni Shrine and choose to flee, whether you are passing through another country or want to settle down in another country, you are likely to be swallowed up by the local giant crocodiles!
This is completely different from a solo cultivator fleeing to another country.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, fleeing with the whole family should not be done!

However, there was no need to explain all these things to Luo Qingni in detail. Zhou Chun just smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying: "Fellow Daoist Luo, you are alone and don't understand the difficulty. You just need to understand that it is impossible for Zhou and the Zhou family to migrate and escape from Jingguo at the moment!"

Hearing what he said, Luo Qingni nodded as if she understood something, and then said softly: "Qingni is usually obsessed with cultivation and alchemy, and really doesn't understand these mundane matters. Since Fellow Daoist Zhou said so, I wonder how Qingni can help you?"

"Zhou would like to ask Brother Luo to help refine some pills, mainly some high-level healing pills and pills to restore mana. The more the better!"

Zhou Chun stated what he wanted in a serious tone.

Hearing his words, Luo Qingni seemed to be relieved, and immediately responded with a smile: "If it's just about refining the elixir, Qingni can help."

Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Chun was also relieved, and immediately bowed and thanked her, "In this case, I will trouble you, Brother Luo!"

Then he asked Luo Qingni to provide a list of various spiritual medicines needed for alchemy, and then he would go back and prepare to collect and purchase the relevant materials.

The Zhou family is now in a situation where their income from the wilderness is bound to be greatly affected, so they need to save as much as possible in every aspect.

Therefore, it is definitely better to ask Luo Qingni to help make the elixir than to spend a lot of money to buy ready-made elixirs.

After Luo Qingni's list of elixirs came out, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi began to prescribe medicine according to the prescription. They first bought a batch of elixirs from the Great Zhou Kingdom and sent them to Luo Qingni, asking her to start refining them immediately.

Then Zhou Chun asked Zhou Daoyi to look after Zhou Zhiying and purchase talismans and other items, while he immediately returned to Jingguo to purchase a large number of related elixirs.

In the following two or three years, many forces in Jingguo discovered that the various spiritual beasts that were special products of the Zhou family, which were difficult to buy in the past, were now much easier to buy.

The Zhou family seemed to be very short of money all of a sudden. Not only did they cut the welfare and support for the clan members and other expenses, they also started selling off all kinds of spiritual beasts in the family!
This incident made many forces that were paying attention to the Zhou family curious, and some people wanted to investigate the cause, but because most of the Zhou family cultivators themselves were unaware of it, in the end they gained nothing.

Even if someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the Zhou family, they would be unable to do anything in the end because there were too many buyers for the Zhou family's spirit beasts.

In just less than three years, the Zhou family sold most of the spiritual beasts that could be sold, and of many species, only a few were left for breeding.

At the same time, during this period of time, the Zhou family held many fighting competitions under various names, and sold a lot of foundation-building spiritual objects and spiritual objects that assist in breaking through realms at a discount to some winners and those with outstanding performances.

As a result, there occurred a grand event in which five foundation-building cultivators emerged in three consecutive years!
However, because the monks involved were all low-level monks, this matter, apart from causing discussion in some low-level monk circles, did not attract much attention from the high-level monks and did not attract much attention.

However, family leaders such as Zhou Zhengyong and Zhou Xinlan gradually discovered that some outstanding family members were quietly transferred out of the mountain gate on the pretext of going out for training and official business.

This made them feel somewhat uneasy, but they didn't dare to ask too much.

On this day, Zhou Chun, who stayed in the Caiyu Mountain stronghold, suddenly received a message from Bahar, the high priest of the Scaled Frog Clan, informing him that something strange had occurred in Longyuan Lake. A large number of monsters were swimming upstream from several rivers that led directly to Jingguo, and no one knew where they were going!
"Is it finally starting?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, and suddenly he felt a sense of relief as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

Sometimes it's like this, when things haven't happened, we always become suspicious, doubting this and that, and having a lot on our minds.

And when everything inevitably happens, you can calm down and face it with concentration.

In the past two or three years, Zhou Chun has been busy running around. He had to go to the Great Zhou Kingdom from time to time to deliver alchemy materials to Luo Qingni, and he also had to worry about various matters within the family. He couldn't even concentrate on his practice.

Now that the beast tide has happened as expected, he no longer has time to make further preparations. Instead, he can focus on preparing for a tough battle.

Fortunately, although his personal cultivation has not made much progress in the past few years, the Hellfire Phoenix and the Golden-armored Mountain Turtle Stone have both broken through and become fourth-order intermediate-grade monsters after refining their demon pills, which has greatly increased his strength.

It’s a pity that the “Tian Jue Four Symbols Formation” he obtained before was too profound, and his several spirit pets have not yet learned it, otherwise his strength would definitely increase dramatically!
But even so, as long as he didn't encounter a fifth-level demon king, Zhou Chun asked himself that even if he faced multiple fourth-level high-quality demon beasts, he would not be at a disadvantage at all, and could even fight back.

Now it depends on how the two major forces of Jingguo deal with this beast tide!
Immediately, Zhou Chun ordered all the remaining cultivators in the wilderness to gather at the Caiyu Mountain stronghold to practice in seclusion, and then left Xu Fu, who had volunteered, to lead the cultivators there, while he himself quietly returned to his family by land.

Next, before the beast tide ends, there will be no more actions at the Caiyushan stronghold, and everything needs to wait until the beast tide is over before restarting.

At the same time, just as the monsters in Longyuanze began to swim upstream in large numbers towards Jingguo, the huge groups of monsters that had migrated to various places in advance also rushed towards Jingguo at the same time.

The scene of thousands of beasts galloping was soon discovered by monks adventuring in the wilderness, and messages were sent back to inform various pioneering outposts.

The intelligence information was then passed on through layers and spread to various parts of Yasukuni.

When the vanguard of the beast tide began to flood various pioneer outposts and arrived at the border of Yunzhou, the news about the coming of the great beast tide had already spread in the Jingguo cultivation world.

At this time, the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect made a decision that did not surprise Zhou Chun.

That is to directly block the northern states of Yasukuni and prohibit any Yasukuni monks from fleeing Yasukuni without permission from their peers!

This is obviously done to prevent those small families and individual cultivators from scattering and leaving no one available.

The order to recruit cultivators from various affiliated forces was quickly issued to the immortal cultivation families in various places. The Zhou family recruited two Jindan-stage cultivators and six Zifu-stage cultivators at once, and asked them to immediately lead twenty foundation-building cultivators and two hundred Qi-training cultivators to the Yunzhou front line to resist the invasion of the beast tide.

But Zhou Chun knew clearly that the scale of this beast tide was far beyond the expectations of the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect. A large frontier like Yunzhou would definitely not be able to be defended, and even Lanzhou might not be able to be defended!

So although he obeyed the order and recruited people, he deliberately delayed some time on the road when he went to Yunzhou.

Sure enough, although Zhou Chun only delayed for less than half a day, the first wave of resistance from Yunzhou had completely failed. It was said that several Jindan-stage cultivators died on the spot!

Later, news came out about the fifth-level demon king besieging the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect’s mountain gates.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun decisively led his people back to Tuyunling, ready to wait for further news before making a decision.

He knew in his heart that the beast tide was coming with great force and very suddenly, so it was normal that the Moon Wheel Sect and the Yanyang Sect were unable to cope with it in time.

However, Yunzhou's thousands of miles of land is enough to delay the beast tide for a day or two. By then, the two factions will definitely release relevant countermeasures.

Moreover, after conquering Yunzhou, the beast tide will inevitably split up and rush to various states. There will be various towns and family strongholds resisting along the way, so it will not be so fast for them to reach Tuyunling.

The Zhou family is now calm and prepared. Even if they are really surrounded by a tide of beasts, they will be able to hold out for a long time.

The facts were just as Zhou Chun expected.

The beast tide surged in from the wilderness, and after conquering Yunzhou, the huge group of monsters could no longer be controlled and commanded by the fourth-level monsters. They could only carry out the tasks assigned by the fifth-level monster kings, and each drove the part of monsters that they could control and influence towards the heart of Jingguo, and flattened any cultivators' strongholds they saw along the way!
But what really determined the direction of this war was not the huge tide of millions of beasts, but those fifth-level powerhouses.

When the beast tide was raging everywhere in Jingguo, the mountain gates of the three major forces, Yuelun Sect, Yanyang Sect, and Qinglian Temple, were also suddenly attacked and besieged by the fifth-level demon kings.

Under the siege of these fifth-level demon kings, the mountain gate protection formations of several forces encountered tremendous pressure. Not only was it difficult for the disciples to go out of the mountain to organize manpower to resist the beast tide, but the Yuanying stage masters were also blocked inside the mountain gate.

Even now, their primary concern is whether their own mountain gate can withstand the attacks of these fifth-level demon kings!
