Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 246 Sudden changes in the situation, the crisis of the Zhou family 【Subscription】

Under Zhou Daoyi's suggestion, Zhou Chun managed to stay in the end.

At the same time, there were also [-] monks from the Wang family and the Yang family who were in the Qi refining period, plus Zhou Xinlan from the Zhou family.

From the personnel arrangement, it is not difficult to see what kind of plan Zhou Daoyi and the other three Zifu period monks have.

After staying, Zhou Chun did not immediately lead people to clean up the monster beasts that had wandered into the inland land, but led people to continue digging pits to bury the corpses, and buried the corpses of monster beasts all over the mountains and plains into ice. inside the cave.

However, not all of the corpses of the monsters this time were obtained by the Zhou family, so they still had to be divided into the Wang family and the Yang family afterwards.

As for those casual cultivators who have also contributed, they have already filled their storage bags, so naturally there is no need to give them any benefits.

After the corpses of thousands of monsters were buried, Zhou Chun led people into the inland area behind to clean up those fleeing monsters.

He sent a dozen or so monks in the Qi refining period under his command to the nearest towns and asked them to get in touch with the local mortal government forces. As long as they learned of the news of the monsters, they would go there to get rid of the monsters.

In such a short period of two days, Zhou Chun killed 23 murderous monsters.

But the good times didn't last long. Not long after, Zhou Chun received the news that the main force of the beast tide besieging Qing Lingzi's stronghold once again separated more than [-] low-level monsters and rushed towards the inland land.

These low-level monsters are all moving in groups of three or four, and their travel routes are completely different, and they cannot be intercepted like before.

Obviously, these low-level monsters were released on purpose to disperse the strength of the Yasukuni monks.

If Qing Lingzi didn't care about these monsters, then after they wandered into the hinterland of Lanzhou, many mortals would die under his hands.

But if the troops are really divided to clean up these monsters, the guarding power of the stronghold will be weakened.

So Qing Lingzi turned his ideas on the various cultivating families in Lanzhou, asking each family to form a team to clean up these monsters no matter whether they recruited monks from their own clan or paid for casual cultivators.

As a result, the Zhou family was allocated another [-] quotas, including the quota of a foundation cultivator.

"It really makes no sense!"

Even Zhou Chun, who has always had a good temper, became a little angry after learning about this.

There are currently less than 130 Qi-refining period monks in the Zhou family who are capable of fighting.

Now half of the manpower has been drawn out. Under such circumstances, the Zhou family needs to send out fifteen people. It is simply squeezing people to death and forcing them to a dead end!
"No, I have to go back to the family first!"

After thinking about it, Zhou Chun decided to go back to the family mountain gate immediately.

On the grounds that he needed to recover his mana, he asked the monks from the Wang family and the Yang family to form a team to slowly clean up the lonely monsters, while he secretly returned to Jiufengling.

After flying for several hours in this way, he returned to the family.

As he expected, Zhou Mingde, who was in charge of the family, was also worrying about the fifteen indicators at this time.

"It's just in time for you to come back, Zhengchun, let me tell you, what should I do about this?"

"It is really impossible for the family to draw so many people now, otherwise, if there is a mistake, the loss of the family will be very serious, but this order is not only received by our Zhou family, if we don't follow it, I'm afraid it will be impossible. Confess!"

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun with a frown, and was also stumped by this matter.

He also didn't expect that he, a dignified cultivator in the Purple Mansion, and a big Zhou family would be stumped by such a trivial matter.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had already thought about this on the way here.

Facing Zhou Mingde's inquiry at this time, he immediately replied: "In my junior's opinion, this matter can only be settled by hiring casual practitioners!"

Hearing his answer, Zhou Mingde couldn't help frowning and said: "But now most of the casual cultivators in Lanzhou have gone to the front line, and the ones left either don't want to participate in this war at all, or are too weak to participate in this kind of war. !"

"Those casual cultivators who don't want to participate in this war are nothing more than fear of danger. As long as we are willing to spend the capital, we will give each of them ten first-level high-grade magic symbols, and promise to reward a first-level high-grade magic weapon afterwards, and then give them There will always be someone willing to take the risk that is higher than Qinglian Temple's employment fee!"

When Zhou Chun said this, he gritted his teeth again and said: "If we still can't recruit enough people, we can only recruit some casual practitioners in the early stage of Qi refining to make up the number. In short, we can't let people find fault with the number of people!"

"Okay, then follow Zhengchun what you said. The old man will immediately send Jiahe, Jiapeng, and Zhengyuan to recruit people in a few nearby casual cultivation bases."

Zhou Mingde gritted his teeth, and knew that this was the only possible way at present, so he arranged for three Zhou Family Foundation Establishment monks to recruit people.

Zhou Chun couldn't wait for the results to come out, he didn't even care about taking a break, and immediately left the family and returned to the original location.

Fortunately, despite the heavy rewards, the Zhou family still hired fourteen casual practitioners of different cultivation levels in the Qi refining period, and Zhou Jiahe took them to the designated place to meet up.

But the good times didn't last long. Within two days, Zhou Chun got a piece of news that changed his complexion drastically.

The Biyanze frontline stronghold has fallen!

It is said that a fourth-tier middle-grade monster beast earth-turning earth dragon appeared in the beast tide. This beast started from the ground. Under the cover of the main force of the beast tide, it cut off the ground veins where the frontline strongholds were located with innate magical powers, causing the spiritual veins to follow. The cracking and chaos affected the performance of the guardian formation, and finally led to the formation being forcibly breached!

And this sudden change caused the monks in the frontline stronghold to be surrounded by the beast horde, causing extremely heavy casualties.

Zhou Chun was able to quickly learn the details of the matter because he bumped into a Zi Fu Qi monk who escaped from the stronghold and learned what happened from him.

But before he could inquire more, the cultivator of the Purple Mansion had already fled back to his family in a hurry.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun was also flustered, and hurriedly let the Qi refining period monks from the Wang family and Yang family go home by themselves, and then returned directly to the family with Zhou Xinlan.

He didn't know whether Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Daoquan, and those Zhou family monks who were taken to the stronghold were dead or alive, but he knew that as long as those people survived, they would definitely return to the family first.

And if this frontline stronghold falls, the consequences will be very serious!
Although the Zhou family's Jiufengling was not a short distance away from the frontline stronghold, if the beast tide raged in Lanzhou, it would not take long to reach there.

After rushing all the way, after several hours, Zhou Chun finally returned to the gate of the Jiufengling family.

What made him happy was that the patriarch Zhou Daoyi, who had been worrying about him on the way, had already returned to the clan one step ahead of him.

But this joy didn't last long, and was completely dispelled by Zhou Daoyi's follow-up words.

"Although I managed to escape from the beast tide with the help of Qingqing and Vulcan Jackal, Daoquan and I were dispersed by the beast tide at that time, and his life and death are unknown now!"

"Furthermore, those monks in the Qi-refining period of the family are all in danger, and it is difficult for anyone to escape from it!"

With just a few words, all the joy in Zhou Chun's heart was washed away, and his heart sank immediately.

For the Zhou family, whether it is Zhou Daoquan who is expected to open up the Purple Mansion at the later stage of foundation establishment, or Zhou Zhenglan and other more than 20 family Qi refining stage monks, they are undoubtedly people who cannot be lost.

However, now through Zhou Daoyi's words, it is not difficult to know that Zhou Zhenglan and other Qi refining stage monks are all in danger.

Zhou Chun's mind flashed one by one the voices and faces of those clansmen who had fought together a few days ago, and he couldn't help staring at Zhou Daoyi with wide eyes and asked, "What happened to the frontline stronghold? The junior only heard that it was a fourth-order mid-grade The monster earth-turning earth dragon cut off the earth veins and disrupted the spiritual veins, causing the guardian formation to be breached by the beast tide, but could it be that without the protection formation, so many monks in the stronghold would be vulnerable?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help pursing his lips, and replied with a look of lingering fear: "It's true that the formation was broken because of the appearance of the earth-turning dragon, but the main reason why we were defeated and fled , or because of the Chilong hall master of the Dragon Transformation Sect and that fourth-rank middle-grade Chihuojiao!"

"At that time, one person and one dragon came out suddenly, and the three golden core stage monks hidden in Qinglian Temple couldn't stop them at all. The breakout lineup formed by us was defeated by the Chilong hall master, and we survived by chance. The people can only scatter and flee, each looking for a way out!"

Hearing this answer, Zhou Chun was also silent for a while.

The head of the Red Dragon Hall, if I remember correctly, should be a late Jindan cultivator.

The strength of that fourth-rank mid-grade Chihuo Jiao might even be stronger than that of a late Golden Core cultivator.

Such a combination suddenly appeared on the battlefield, plus that fourth-order middle-grade earth-turning dragon...

Zhou Chun could already imagine how bad and desperate the situation was at that time!
Under such circumstances, Zhou Daoyi would be fine if he could save his own life and escape, but if he wanted to save other people, he really had more energy than he wanted!
At the moment, I can only ask in a low voice: "Then what should we do now? Since even a strong man like the head of the Red Dragon Hall has appeared in Lanzhou, the beast tide in Lanzhou will definitely not just be raging in the mortal land. Let us How should the Zhou family deal with this?"

"There is no other way now, we can only prepare for the worst first, if there is really an irresistible beast tide coming towards the family, then we can only give up this Jiufengling first, in order to protect the remaining monks of the family. It's heavy!"

Zhou Daoyi shook his head, and said the way to deal with it in a low tone.

Do you want to give up Jiufengling?
Zhou Chun was speechless after hearing this.

Reason told him that this was the best choice.

But emotionally, it was difficult for him to accept this result.

Because once this is done, the Zhou family's decades of hard work will be wasted, and everything will start all over again!
At this time, Zhou Mingde, who had been silent all this time, suddenly waved his hands and said, "Okay, Zhengchun, you are tired from the journey, go back and rest first, the old man can arrange for people to do these things."

He has already had the experience of leaving his hometown, and compared to Zhou Chun, he is undoubtedly more able to accept the worst result.

"The junior will leave first!"

Zhou Chun looked at the two elders with a heavy expression, and after saluting, he stepped back first.

At this time, none of them can really do anything.

All we can do is to see how the three sects of Qinglian Temple, Yuelun Sect, and Yanyang Sect will deal with this matter.

Obviously, Qinglianguan is more anxious than the Zhou family about the loss of the Lanzhou frontline stronghold.

The location of Lanzhou is very important for Qinglian Temple, it connects Lianzhou, Yunzhou and Lingzhou where the gate of Qinglian Temple is located.

If this place is completely occupied by monsters, the supply line between Qinglian Guanshan Gate and the front line of Yunzhou will be cut off, and there may even be a wave of beasts pushing into the mountain gate.

So just over a dozen hours after the Lanzhou frontline stronghold fell, four Jindan stage monks and more than a dozen Zifu stage monks rushed from the Qinglian Guanshan Gate and the Yunzhou frontline.

These people, together with Qing Yangzi and other golden core monks who had been withdrawn from the front line, stared at the head of the Red Dragon Hall and those fourth-level monsters in the beast tide, preventing them from continuing to lead the beast tide to spread.

However, they can keep an eye on the fourth-order monsters, but they have no way to stop the army of beasts that have rushed into the hinterland of Lanzhou.

Most of the monks from various cultivating families in Lanzhou were transferred to the frontline stronghold of Biyanze, but they suffered heavy losses due to the loss of the frontline stronghold. At this moment, it is impossible to send people to form an army of monks to meet and stop the army of beasts.

Even their own mountain gate is now facing the threat of the beast horde.

"The He family in Qingzhu Mountain has already evacuated ahead of time. Their family's mountain gate has now been broken by the beast tide. According to them, the beast tide is spreading in all directions, and its main force is moving towards Lianzhou. It is less than a week away from our Zhou family. Six hundred miles!"

On the Pagoda Peak, several high-level members of the Zhou family gathered together and were sharing the latest information.

As the beast horde broke into the hinterland of Lanzhou, monks from all over the place fled, and all kinds of news were flying all over the sky. It was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Most of the news the Zhou family got was from the monks who fled to Jiufengling.

Now the information sent by the He family of the alliance family is the first official information they have obtained so far.

And this information is also very important.

After reading the information, Zhou Chun immediately expressed his opinion and said: "Lianzhou is the foundation of Qinglian Temple. If the beast tide enters it, it will shake their foundation. They will definitely not sit back and watch this happen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mingde nodded in response: "Zhengchun is right, unless it is unthinkable, Qinglian Temple will definitely not let the war spread to Lianzhou!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Mingde also said in a low tone: "In my opinion, I am afraid that Qinglian Temple will soon increase its troops, our Zhou family, which is close to Lianzhou, and use our family as a fortress to defend against the enemy Yu Lian. out of state!"

Do you want to defend against the enemy outside Lianzhou?

Zhou Chun's expression changed, and he quickly said: "If it is true what the Supreme Elder said, then I will transfer those secular clansmen now, at least keep them hundreds of miles away from the family's mountain gate!"

"Yes, this matter must be done immediately."

Zhou Mingde nodded, and agreed with Zhou Chun's suggestion with a solemn expression.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from outside Zhongping Hall.

"Zhou Jiahe begged to see the Supreme Elder and the Patriarch, and reported something important to the two elders!"

　The second one is delivered
