Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Zhou Chun acted very swiftly and decisively, eliminating the beast group led by the Black Wind Owl and the Fire Dragon Lion in less than an hour, with energy to spare for dealing with the next group.

However, just as he was about to continue, he suddenly received a messenger flying sword from his Daoist companion, Su Yuzhen.

After reading the information carried by the messenger flying sword, Zhou Chun's expression changed abruptly, and he quickly set off back to the Su Family Mountain Gate.

When he returned to the Su Family Mountain Gate, he looked seriously at Su Yuzhen and asked, "Madam, quickly tell me, how exactly did the White River Marketplace fall?"

The reason for his urgent return was that the news of the White River Marketplace's fall had reached the Su Family.

At this time, hearing his words, Su Yuzhen quickly said, "According to the message from the ancestor, the White River Marketplace fell because a Fifth-order Demon King suddenly appeared, broke the Mountain Protection Array, and killed the Golden Core Late Stage cultivator and several Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators who were guarding it!"

Saying this, she also expressed her relief, "Fortunately, at the critical moment, a Nascent Soul Stage elder rushed to intercept that Demon King, otherwise, I fear not a single person in the White River Marketplace would have survived!"

Hearing her response, Zhou Chun's expression also changed dramatically.

What he feared the most had still happened!

For Zhou Chun, who was invincible at the Golden Core Stage, as long as he didn't encounter a Fifth-order Demon King, the Great Beast Tide posed no threat to him at all.

But he deeply understood that in such a Great Beast Tide situation, Fifth-order Demon Kings were very likely to disregard the previous agreements between the two clans and attack cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage.

After all, by launching such a massive beast tide, both sides had essentially torn off the mask of civility, making it unnecessary to adhere to such agreements.

And when these tacit agreements were broken, it was terrifying and frightening for both Golden Core Stage cultivators and Fourth Order Magical Beasts.

Because you never know when you might encounter a massacre by a Fifth Order powerhouse!

"Since the White River Marketplace is no longer defensible, where are the ancestors now?"

Suppressing his inner shock, Zhou Chun asked with a heavy face about the matters he was concerned about.

"When the message from the ancestor arrived, they were breaking through to the north with the surviving personnel of the White River Marketplace, and their specific location is currently unknown."

Su Yuzhen said this with a worried expression, looking at Zhou Chun and added, "Husband, do you think we should go and meet up with the ancestors?"

"Don't panic, don't rush, there's no use in getting anxious now!"

Zhou Chun consoled her, calmly analyzing, "Since the ancestor can still communicate with a flying sword on the escape route, it implies that the situation hasn't deteriorated to the extreme. For now, let's wait for further news once they have settled, and if we are to meet them, it should be after they contact us with their location!"

Upon hearing this analysis, Su Yuzhen quickly calmed down, nodding in agreement, "Husband is right, it was my concern clouding my judgment."

Then the two of them sat at the mountain gate, patiently waiting for further news to arrive.

Meanwhile, as they waited, beast groups converged on the area around the Su Family Mountain Gate, surrounding it.

But this mere beast group of fifty to sixty thousand Demon Beasts was clearly not worth Zhou Chun's attention, not even warranting a proper glance.

If he wasn't worried about drawing attention from a Fifth-order Demon King, Zhou Chun could have led people out to disperse all these Demon Beasts right then.

But these beast groups were clearly unaware of this.

After gathering en masse, they eagerly launched an attack on the Su Family Mountain Gate.

The Su Family Mountain Gate's protective formation, unlike the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation, was a balanced defensive formation.

Seeing a large number of Demon Beasts attacking from three directions, Su Yuzhen immediately controlled the formation to launch a counterattack first.

A blue-white spiritual light gathered in the air, transforming into countless water arrows that shot towards the beast group charging from one direction.

Under the barrage of thousands of water arrows, hundreds of charging Demon Beasts fell instantly!

By the time all three beast groups reached the edge of the formation, six rounds of barrage had been fired, killing no fewer than four thousand low to mid-level Demon Beasts.

And this was just a starter.

When those low to mid-level Demon Beasts finally braved the rain of arrows and reached the close quarters of the formation, the Su and Zhou family cultivators left behind at the mountain gate also sprang into action, bombarding the Demon Beasts with all kinds of magic artifacts and spells.

It's noteworthy that at this time, the Su Family Mountain Gate had over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a dozen Purple Mansion Phase cultivators!

So many people attacking together, mostly aiming at Demon Beasts with a cultivation level lower than their own, meant that each round of attacks easily took down dozens to hundreds of low to mid-level Demon Beasts.

All while the attacks from those Demon Beasts were fully blocked by the formation, including the four Fourth Order Magical Beasts that showed themselves, were no exception!

Thus, this attack lasted less than an hour before having to cease due to the massive number of beast casualties.

Those Fourth Order Magical Beasts weren't fools; after this attack, they realized their limited strength alone couldn't break the Su Family's Mountain Protection Array, and more reinforcements would be needed!

It was indeed their luck that, after hearing the news about the White River Marketplace, Zhou Chun was cautious and didn't step out to slaughter them.
