Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 619: Recovering Tuyunling and Meeting Tianjing Again [Subscription Request]

The unexpected arrival of reinforcements lifted the siege of Su Family Mountain Gate in an unexpected way.

Zhou Chun and his men took the initiative to attack, and together with the reinforcements, they attacked from the front and back, and soon gained the upper hand.

After a great battle, the Golden Winged Tiger and the Hellfire Phoenix cooperated well and killed another fourth-level low-grade water-attributed monster in the battle, obtaining a fourth-level monster pill and a fourth-level monster corpse for him.

He also won a great victory in the battle with the [Green-eyed Golden Ape], successfully blinding one of the opponent's eyes and destroying the opponent's natural spiritual eyes!
It’s a pity that after all, this beast had fought with him twice before, and was prepared for his various methods. In addition, it was quick to seize opportunities, so in the end, he failed to kill it!
However, the siege of the Su family’s mountain gate was lifted, and this was the biggest gain.

At this time, after those fourth-level monsters fled, the cultivators inside the Su family’s mountain gate also rushed out and scattered to chase and kill those scattered low- and middle-level monsters.

Zhou Chun did not participate in this matter, and only asked Zhou Mingde, Lin Hongyu and Su Yuzhen to take care of it.

He and the Su family's ancestor were responsible for entertaining the monks who came to help.

"Friend Su, Friend Zhou, we need to use your precious land to rest for half a day before we continue to support other strongholds. Please give us some convenience!"

Inside the Su Family Mountain Gate, Feng Zishan, a late Jindan cultivator who led the reinforcements, looked at Zhou Chun with a kind face and stated his request after leading his men in.

He seemed to have heard of Zhou Chun's reputation and did not dare to put on airs in front of Zhou Chun.

Since he had such a positive attitude, Zhou Chun certainly would not be hostile to him. After exchanging a glance with the Su family ancestor, he responded readily: "This matter is easy to discuss. The cultivators of our Su and Zhou families will vacate the place right away so that all Taoist friends can rest and recover first!"

"Then I would like to thank you two fellow Taoists first."

Feng Zishan smiled slightly and bowed to the two of them.

Half a day later, before the cultivators from the Su and Zhou families had collected all the corpses of the monsters outside, Feng Zishan set out with reinforcements, and also recruited the Jindan-stage cultivators that Zhou Chun had brought from Baijiang Market.

According to what he said, a consensus has been reached within the Spiritual Alliance that all countries and factions will send a large number of their disciples to Jingguo to help drive out the beast tide and counterattack the states of Jingguo that have been occupied by the beast tide.

Jiangzhou, as the front line, is the starting point of the counterattack.

Zhou Chun, the Su family's ancestor and others have not received the transfer order yet, but it is expected that they will be transferred to participate in the counterattack after Jiangzhou is safe.

This news is exciting news for the Zhou family, and it means that it may not take long for them to regain the mountain gate.

But Zhou Chun didn't seem very happy.

Because it felt that the speed was too fast, so fast that it was not ready yet!

After all, he was not satisfied with just recovering the two sacred mountains of Tuyunling and Jiufengling.

But the reality is that up to now, he has not even met a Jindan stage cultivator from the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect.

If he wanted to take over the Qinglian Mountains, where should he start?
Without the permission of these two families, the Zhou family would never have been able to occupy the Qinglian Mountains!
How can we get these two families to agree to let the Zhou family occupy the Qinglian Mountains?
Zhou Chun looked towards the direction of the Qinglian Mountains with a changing expression, and suddenly felt a little irritated.

He admitted that he thought too much and his thoughts were a little too beautiful.

Normally speaking, if one wants to occupy a blessed place like the Qinglian Mountains, one must at least have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage.

But the opportunity is rare!
Under normal circumstances, the Qinglian Mountains, a blessed place, were occupied by Nascent Soul cultivators, making it impossible for the Zhou family to plot against them.

Only now, the Qinglian Temple, the original owner of the Qinglian Mountains, first lost the pillar of its sect and then lost the mountain gate, and it is basically certain that it can no longer occupy this place.

The Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect both have their own mountain gates, and they are two powerful rivals. Neither will allow the other to occupy such a blessed mountain.

This gave the Zhou family an opportunity!
If the Zhou family fails to seize the opportunity to take control of the Qinglian Mountains this time, no matter whether the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect choose to occupy the Qinglian Mountains together, or introduce a Nascent Soul cultivator from a foreign country to establish a sect here, it will be difficult for the Zhou family to have another chance to take control of this place.

Only if he succeeds in forming a fetus and his spirit pet becomes a fifth-level demon king, will he have that opportunity!

And that will be hundreds of years later!

So it is understandable that Zhou Chun is in a bad mood now.

Time passed quickly, and in the next few days, news of the Tianling Alliance's defeat of the beast herd and recovery of the lost territory reached the Su family one after another. Zhou Chun also soon received a transfer order, ordering him to go to Tanzhou with Lin Hongyu and the ancestor of the Su family to participate in the battle to recover Tanzhou.

After receiving the order, Zhou Chun had no time to delay and immediately took his men to Tanzhou to reunite.

In the following half month, Zhou Chun fought in various places in Tanzhou, participated in several major battles, and took the opportunity to kill a fourth-level medium-grade water-attributed monster and obtained a fourth-level monster pill.

And the immortal cultivation world of Tanzhou was also recovered through their hard work.

After recapture of Tanzhou, the next place to be recaptured is Lingzhou.

Zhou Chun was thinking about the purple mulberry tree on his own Tuyun Ridge. When the army was resting, he volunteered to go to Lingzhou to investigate the situation.

He did this because he was worried that the monsters would cruelly destroy the purple mulberry trees on Tuyun Ridge when they retreated.

After all, judging from the previous situation in Tanzhou, this kind of thing does exist.

So Zhou Chun planned to put the golden-armored mountain turtle, the stone, and the wood spirit back to protect the purple mulberry tree and prevent it from being destroyed by the retreating monsters.

Of course, since he had accepted the task of investigating the situation, he couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Before that, Mu Mei was also asked to conduct secret investigations in various places.

The result made Zhou Chun frown slightly.

Because the investigation results showed that there were not many fourth-level monsters in Lingzhou, and even the existence of fourth-level high-quality monsters had not been found.

"Could it be that these monsters are trying to play some tricks again?"

Zhou Chun was secretly alert and quickly returned to Tanzhou to report the intelligence he had obtained.

The coalition forces did not ignore the information he brought. The leading late Jindan cultivator immediately reported it to the Yuanying stage cultivator who was secretly protecting them.

Not long after, a real person in the Nascent Soul stage ventured into Lingzhou, Yunzhou, Lanzhou and other places to investigate and learned the truth of the matter.

It turned out that the main forces of those high-level monsters had retreated to Yunzhou, Lanzhou, and Lianzhou, especially the Qinglian Mountains and several well-known sacred mountains and blessed places in Yunzhou, which gathered a large number of high-level monsters and beast herds.

From this point of view, it seems that the beast tide has given up on continuing the attack and just wants to keep the territory it has now occupied.

Or maybe he wanted to concentrate his forces to fight a few battles with the Tianling Alliance in those sacred mountains and blessed lands!

After discovering this situation, the coalition forces, which were still resting, immediately launched an attack, preparing to take Lingzhou first.

The process of this attack was still very smooth. The sacred mountains and blessed places in Lingzhou were easily recovered, and those high-level monsters could even be said to have fled at the sight of them.

And Zhou Chun’s worries really came true.

The fourth-level monster that originally occupied Tuyun Ridge did want to destroy the spiritual fruit trees and spiritual trees left by the Zhou family on the mountain before escaping.

However, the golden-armored mountain turtle Shitou and Mu Mei acted in time to stop the beast, and even killed the fourth-rank inferior monster Xunfeng Diao on Tuyun Ridge!
With the recovery of Tuyunling, this place naturally became the next temporary base of the coalition forces.

Naturally, there are formation masters who are proficient in formations and know how to rearrange the formation here.

However, this kind of temporary formation cannot be compared with the forbidden formation such as the [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation]. In the future, the Zhou family will have to find a formation master to arrange a new forbidden formation.

Considering that the remaining states gathered the elite forces of this beast tide, after the coalition forces recovered Lingzhou, they did not rush to continue to recover Yunzhou, Lanzhou, and Lianzhou. Instead, they divided their troops into two groups, one group stayed in Lingzhou to monitor the beast herds in the three states, and the other group headed west to help recover the territories occupied by the beast tide in the Yanyang Sect area.

As the owner of Tuyunling, Zhou Chun naturally stayed in Lingzhou with the team.

"Zhengchun, I noticed that you seem a little uneasy these days. Is there something on your mind?"

On Tuyun Ridge, when the Su family's ancestor was talking to Zhou Chun about rebuilding the Zhou family's mountain gate, he saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Hearing this question from the ancestor of the Su family, Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Ancestor has great eyesight. This junior is really troubled by something on his mind and doesn't know how to start!"

Seeing that he did not deny it, the Su family ancestor became even more curious and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me about it? Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, and my strength is not as good as yours, I have lived hundreds of years longer than you. I may be able to give you some advice for reference!"

"This one……"

Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment.

He only told Zhou Mingde about the plot to invade Qinglian Mountains, and even Zhou Daoyi didn't know about it.

Although the Su family's ancestor has a special relationship with him, he is still the ancestor of the Su family after all.

But on second thought, the situation has changed now, and his plan to take over the Qinglian Mountains has almost come to a dead end. Even if he tells it, it won't be a big deal.

Perhaps the Su family's ancestor knew about it and would just smile.

So after hesitating for a while, he nodded with a wry smile and said, "Since you want to listen, I will tell you!"

After saying this, he told his plan.

The result was naturally as he expected. After hearing his plan, the Su family ancestor was shocked. He looked at him in shock for a long time without saying anything. But just when Zhou Chun was ready to accept some of his criticisms, he suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, if I, the ancestor, had your strength, and the Su family had the strength of the Zhou family, and encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I would definitely want to take this step!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but look up at him in astonishment, with surprise in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just telling you the truth!"

The Su family ancestor smiled slightly, and then sighed with emotion: "Who didn't have some dreams when they were young! When I succeeded in forming the elixir, I was also full of vigor and vitality. I felt that even if I couldn't turn the elixir into an infant, I should be able to cultivate to the late stage of the golden elixir and surpass all the ancestors of the Su family!"

Then he laughed at himself and said, "Unfortunately, you have seen the result now. Even a mid-stage Jindan barrier can block me from breaking through for hundreds of years!"

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun and said, "If I had your cultivation strength when I was your age, I would have been even more daring than you are now!"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he turned his head away slightly in embarrassment and did not respond.

It is understandable that the Su family ancestor would express such emotion and complaints, but as the object of the other party's envy, it would be better for him not to respond at this time.

Fortunately, the Su family's ancestor did not indulge in it. He quickly straightened his expression, looked at him seriously and said, "Just like what I said just now, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is normal for you, Zhengchun, to want to profit from the chaos."

He seemed a little reluctant after saying this, but in the end he still told the truth: "But I can tell you for sure that unless you can have the strength to fight against a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, it is impossible for you to rule the Qinglian Mountains!"

"Judging from the current situation in Jingguo, it is very likely that after the beast tide is driven out, the Yuelun Sect and Yanyang Sect will discuss and invite a Yuanying stage cultivator with good cultivation and strength to Jingguo to establish a sect, or even directly invite a Yuanying stage force to migrate here!"

Zhou Chun was aware of the situation he described, but he just felt a little unwilling in his heart.

After hearing his words, he couldn't help but fall into silence and didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing that he remained silent, the Su family's ancestor knew that he had not given up in his heart.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, and then said: "Forget it, since you want to do this so much, I will show you a way!"

"Ancestor, do you have a solution?"

Zhou Chun looked at the Su family's ancestor in surprise, and could hardly believe that this was true.

"Don't look at me like this. Of course I can't help you, but someone can!"

The Su family's ancestor waved his hand and then gave his suggestions.

"Zhengchun, if you really want to take over the Qinglian Mountains, there is only one plan that works. That is to find a Yuanying-stage real person to stand up for you and agree to serve as the guest grand elder of the Zhou family. It would be best if he is a Yuanying-stage real person from Jingguo!"

"In this case, as long as your Zhou family is willing to give up some benefits on the side of Yuelun Sect and Yanyang Sect, they will probably agree to this matter!"

At this point, the meaning of the Su family's ancestor's words is already very clear.

Zhou Chun also quickly reacted and said, "Grandmaster, what you mean is that I should go find Senior Tianjing Zhenren to be the guest grand elder of the Zhou family?"

When Zhou Chun said this, his expression became very strange.

He vaguely knew something about Master Tianjing, but he had never thought about this matter.

But now listening to what the ancestor of the Su family said, it seems that we can really give it a try.

Even if you fail, you won't lose anything!
The Su family patriarch quickly nodded and said, "Yes, now that Master Tianjing has destroyed his physical body, it is difficult for him to take over another body and cultivate again. From now on, he can only use some special means to maintain his Nascent Soul body!"

"But even if there are special means to replace the body, its life span will definitely be greatly reduced. It may only take a few hundred years for it to live!"

“In this way, as long as you, Zhengchun, can transform the elixir into a fetus in the next few hundred years, we can completely take over the Qinglian Mountains, this blessed land!”

After hearing his analysis, Zhou Chun was completely moved.

Indeed, if Master Tianjing only had a few hundred years to live, the Zhou family could still cooperate with him even if some of his conditions were a bit harsh.

But he soon remembered something and couldn't help but frowning and said, "But I don't know where Master Tianjing is now. How can I contact him?"

"This old ancestor cannot help you. Perhaps you can ask those Yuanying stage masters. They may know."

The Su family's ancestor shook his head, but was unable to help with this matter.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun did not mention the matter again. He just bowed to the Su family ancestor with gratitude and said, "Junior understands. Thank you for your guidance today. If this matter succeeds, this junior will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, the Su family ancestor also laughed and said, "Haha, then the ancestor will remember your words. If this can really be accomplished, I would also like to ask you to leave one or two caves for my Su family in the Qinglian Mountains to facilitate the training of the younger generations of our clan!"

"If this can really be accomplished, your request would not be worth mentioning!"

Zhou Chun also laughed loudly and felt much better.

In the following period of time, Zhou Chun also used this channel to inquire about the situation of Master Tianjing, and even went to ask Master Qianmu for advice.

But no matter how he inquired, he did not get what he wanted.

Since the gate of Qinglian Temple was destroyed, all we know about Tianjing Zhenren is that he abandoned his physical body and used the magical power of "teleportation" to escape from the battlefield, but where he went is a mystery.

It is very likely that he is hiding somewhere to recover and wait for the war to end before coming out.

After all, he is only a Nascent Soul now, and he cannot take over another body to practice cultivation. He can be said to be the weakest Nascent Soul cultivator. In the eyes of those fifth-level demon kings, he is just a walking thousand-year-old elixir, and everyone who sees him wants to take a bite!
Despite this, Zhou Chun was not too disappointed.

After all, the Qinglian Mountains have not yet been recovered, and the Yuelun Sect and the Yanyang Sect probably have no intention of considering the future distribution of this area.

As long as the Zhou family can contact Master Tianjing and reach a cooperation with him before the two factions confirm this matter, there is still hope.

After being stationed on Tuyun Ridge for more than a month, the war in the Yanyang Sect area came to an end.

In fact, for many monster species in the beast tide, the Yanyang Sect area is not a suitable place to survive, so there are not many monster groups attacking there.

At this time, the coalition forces concentrated their forces there and easily wiped out and drove away the invading beasts.

The real highlight is actually in Yunzhou and Lianzhou!
As time went by, the situations of the beast herds in Yunzhou, Lanzhou and Lianzhou were gradually clarified.

Let’s not talk about the situation in Yunzhou for now. There is a complex network of waterways there, and it is now blocked by the “Dragon Court War Soldiers” and many aquatic monsters that are swimming upstream, making it the most difficult to deal with.

Lianzhou and Lanzhou can be considered as one, because Lianzhou needs to go through Lanzhou to enter the wilderness.

However, at this moment, dozens of fourth-level monsters gathered in the Qinglian Mountains of Lianzhou. The number of monsters in the entire Lianzhou is as high as hundreds of thousands, and there are also many fifth-level monster kings in charge.

It will be a big challenge for the coalition forces to chew this bone.

After all, after a series of battles, many Jindan stage cultivators were injured in battles with monsters of the same level, or their magic weapons were seriously damaged in the battles.

Therefore, when the coalition forces returned to Lingzhou, Tanzhou and other places from the Yanyang Sect's territory, the subsequent war was not launched immediately, but they first rested and recuperated.

Zhou Chun was also happy to see this happen.

He is the last person who wants to attack the Qinglian Mountains immediately, because it is not in line with his and the Zhou family's interests.

Moreover, several of his spiritual pets were injured, and he himself had not yet completely repaired the damage to his own magic weapon. Naturally, it would be best if he could have more time to recuperate.

When his condition recovers to full, he will have the opportunity to kill a few more fourth-level monsters when attacking the Qinglian Mountains.

Of course, while recuperating, Zhou Chun did not forget to communicate with other Jindan stage cultivators, seeking to exchange demon cores that matched the attributes of his own spiritual pets.

He may not be the one who gains the most from this war, but he will definitely gain huge benefits!

The acquisition of a large number of demon pills made the cultivation of his several spirit pets extremely smooth in the future. It was no longer like when they were in the third-level demon beast realm, where they had to wait for him to collect materials everywhere to refine pills and feed them.

If he could transform the elixir into a fetus in the future, perhaps he would soon have a spirit pet that could catch up with his progress in cultivation, survive the heavenly thunder tribulation, and become a fifth-rank demon king!
After resting for more than half a year, the coalition forces, which had received several waves of reinforcements, finally decided to take action again.

This time, if I don't move, it's fine. But if I move, it will be as fast as thunder.

More than one hundred Jindan stage cultivators and tens of thousands of Qi training, foundation building, and purple mansion stage cultivators acted together, starting from Lingzhou and pushing towards Lianzhou.

Although the marching speed was not very fast, they still cleared out the beast herds in Lanzhou in just over twenty days, and then advanced all the way to the Qinglian Mountains hundreds of miles away!
On this day, the army set up camp hundreds of miles away from the Qinglian Mountains, and many Yuanying stage masters also descended from the sky and landed in the camp.

Relying on his current fame and strength, Zhou Chun was able to enter the central military tent along with several late Jindan stage cultivators and meet these Yuanying stage masters.

Among these people, he was pleasantly surprised to find an "acquaintance", who was none other than Tianjing Zhenren, whom he had been searching for in vain.

However, at this time, Master Tianjing could no longer take over another body, so his Nascent Soul could only live in a puppet and act as the puppet.

The puppet itself seemed to be very extraordinary. The Nascent Soul of Tianjing Zhenren resided in it. The aura it exuded was no weaker than the one Zhou Chun had seen before!
"Could this be the legendary fifth-level puppet?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but take another look at the humanoid puppet body covered in scales of Master Tianjing, and secretly guessed in his heart.

And Master Tianjing seemed to feel his gaze and couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at him, his pair of amber puppet beast eyes were devoid of any emotion.
