Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1034 - 468: Zhou Mingde’s Breakthrough [Subscribe Requested]_3

He continued with a shake of his head, "But Yue Feng’s actions at that time left me no choice but to cleanse the sect of his presence first!"

Wei Yong, upon hearing this, immediately waved his hand and said, "You did nothing wrong. Had I been in your place, I would certainly have dealt with such a malicious individual first to prevent future harm."

"As for those cultivators who died in battle, it’s just their bad fortune, a calamity predetermined by fate!"

Evidently, compared to Zhou Chun, Wei Yong, who was accustomed to witnessing the mass deaths of cultivators on the battlefield, had grown used to such matters and was not emotionally affected by the demise of these low and middle tier cultivators.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "This incident has been a wake-up call for us. Given your current circumstances, it doesn’t seem appropriate for you to lead an army alone anymore. I will recommend you to the higher-ups to be appointed as the Inspector of our main camp. From now on, you only need to be accountable to me!"

The position of Inspector was originally a leisurely job, incomparable in power to that of Zhou Chun’s current role as the Regiment Commander of the first regiment. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

However, Zhou Chun did not come to the battlefield to vie for power and glory.

Therefore, he had no objections to Wei Yong’s decision and immediately nodded in agreement, "This subordinate will follow Commandant’s orders."

Wei Yong was resolute and efficient in his actions. Once he made a decision, he quickly submitted the proposal to reassign Zhou Chun as the Inspector of the main camp, and it was approved without much hindrance.

Following that, Zhou Chun settled down at the camp headquarters, focusing on his cultivation while waiting for the results of the investigation into the traitors.

After two or three months, the awaited investigation results finally came through.

As Zhou Chun had anticipated, without concrete facts as evidence and merely based on investigations of some suspicious individuals, it was impossible to catch any significant culprits.

The so-called investigation results identified three Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators with suspected collusion.

One with conclusive evidence was executed most severely, while the remaining two, due to the lack of substantial evidence, were merely stripped of their positions and banished to the suicide squads!

Officially, that concluded the investigation.

As a compensation and reward for Zhou Chun, his achievement in capturing the "White-Haired Blood Demon" Ge Changsheng earned him another Demonslaying Command Token.

As for this outcome, even if Zhou Chun was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to silently accept it.

However, he also asked Wei Yong to help gather intelligence on the Leopard Tail Witch, quietly waiting for the opportunity for revenge.

Wei Yong did not approve of this idea, feeling it unnecessary for Zhou Chun to do so.

Nevertheless, seeing his determination, Wei Yong refrained from further persuasion and agreed.

But the news that came later forced Zhou Chun to temporarily set aside his plans for revenge.

Since the Leopard Tail Witch did not hold a fixed position in any troops and was relatively free to move, it was difficult for him to find where she stayed for long periods.

After all, the intelligence system of the Heavenly Spirit Legion couldn’t always serve his personal vendetta.

And so, time passed day by day, and soon three years had gone by!

During these three years, Zhou Chun could no longer continue the miracles of the past.

Now widely known, average Purple Mansion Phase Demon Cultivators dared not confront him on the battlefield, either fleeing desperately or being entangled by cultivators at the level of the "Seven Fiends of the Prime Demons."

As a result, although Zhou Chun engaged in combat more than a dozen times over the three years, he only killed seven Purple Mansion Phase Demon Cultivators, and the battle merits he earned were not considerable.

However, due to the high number of well-known Demon Cultivators he had slain, his ranking among the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit" remained as stable as Mount Tai, never threatened.

Also, because he steadily maintained his rank among the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit," he was rewarded with a Demonslaying Command Token each year, now holding eight tokens in total, which was more than many Golden Core Stage Cultivators!

Despite the moderate amount of battle merits, Zhou Chun’s gains over these three years were not meager.

First, the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai had successfully advanced to a Third Order mid-tier Demon Beast after assimilating a Third Order high-quality Demon Core from the Silver-Armored Dragon Fish.

Meanwhile, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone, after digesting a Third Order low-tier Earth-attribute Demon Core, had also reached the peak of a Third Order low-tier Demon Beast and, even without external assistance, could break through within another ten or so years.

Zhou Chun also received two pieces of good news.

The first was that Lin Wan’er, after taking the Mysterious Heart Purple Return Pill for the second time to open up the Purple Mansion, had successfully done so and become a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator.

The second was that Zhou Mingde finally managed to overcome the minor realm barrier through persistence and breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Late Stage!

When Zhou Chun received the good news of Zhou Mingde breaking through to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, he was overjoyed and even went out of his way to entrust Wei Yong with delivering the few remaining Dragon Spirit Pills to him.

Since Zhou Chun had used a Barrier Breaking Spirit Pill for his realm breakthrough, he dared not take any elixirs to accelerate mana accumulation.

However, Zhou Mingde had rarely taken any pills over the years and could swiftly boost his mana to its limit by taking the Dragon Spirit Pills, then attempt to break through to Core Formation!

Yes, Zhou Chun wanted Zhou Mingde to make an attempt at the Core Formation barrier!

The Zhou Family now had "excess" Nascent Soul Spirit Material. Since the effects of the Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid and the Extreme Cold Ice Marrow Liquid overlapped with the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, and Zhou Chun did not need them for his Core Formation, they were essentially unused.
