Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

It was as if opening a floodgate, and soon another five or six people followed suit, kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Seeing that there were still many people hesitating, Zhou Daoquan suddenly spoke out, "Time is pressing; there's no need to waste more time with them. Kill all those who refuse to surrender!"

As soon as these words were spoken, another seven or eight people among those who were hesitating immediately knelt down.

In the end, only a small number of cultivators were still hesitating.

"Humph, refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Zhou Mingde let out a cold snort and waved his hand, and several flying needles condensed from fire attribute mana struck those standing, killing them all on the spot.

This scene caused another shock to those cultivators who knelt to surrender, their faces filled with terror.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can get up now."

Having said that, he pointed to the Demon Beasts in the Beast Garden and said, "Now, I give you a chance to redeem yourselves. Immediately put those Demon Beasts into the Spirit Beast Pouches!"

"The beast tokens are all on Steward Wang's body. If you want those Demon Beasts to obediently enter the Spirit Beast Pouches, you'll need the beast tokens to do so!"

A middle-aged man who had surrendered spoke up boldly, then turned his gaze toward the corpse of the Foundation Establishment cultivator that Zhou Chun had killed.

Clearly, that person should be Steward Wang he was talking about.

This made Zhou Chun immediately understand the intention behind Steward Wang's actions just now.

Apparently, the other party had also seen their intentions, which was why he wanted to destroy his Storage Pouch to prevent them from getting the beast tokens.

Unfortunately, in front of Zhou Mingde, a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, he had no chance to do so.

Therefore, Zhou Chun quickly took the Storage Pouch from Steward Wang's waist into his hand and handed it over to Zhou Mingde.

"Supreme Elder, please."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingde reached out to take the Storage Pouch, immediately erasing the original owner's residual Divine Sense imprint and took out a large square wooden box from it.

Upon opening the wooden box, he saw that it contained dozens of large and small Dragon Scale Beast Tokens and Dragon Bone Beast Tokens.

After briefly glancing at it, he tossed the wooden box to the surrendered cultivator who had spoken and said, "Choose the corresponding beast tokens yourself, and quickly put those Demon Beasts into the Spirit Beast Pouches!"

These Qi Refinement cultivators, he could easily crush with a flick of his hand, so there was no need to worry about them daring to play tricks.

And a place like the Beast Garden naturally had a large number of Spirit Beast Pouches.

Consequently, once the Qi Refinement cultivators received the order, they quickly went to take the Spirit Beast Pouches and beast tokens, and without any delay, they rushed into the Beast Garden to collect the Demon Beasts.

Meanwhile, the Zhou Family members were not idle either. After leaving Zhou Jiapeng in charge of guarding, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, and Zhou Daoquan all started to capture the rampaging Demon Beasts.

Unexpectedly, just as they had started their action, three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect arrived at the Beast Garden, also hoping to seize a few Spirit Beasts in the chaos and escape.

For these merits that presented themselves, Zhou Mingde naturally only had to happily accept them.

He personally took action and quickly killed those envoys of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Afterwards, some Qi Refinement cultivators also rushed to the Beast Garden, likewise intent on seizing Mount Beasts and fleeing.

But when they discovered that the place had already been seized by the Zhou Family, they too were scared and promptly fled.

In this way, under the guardianship of Zhou Mingde, a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, the Zhou Family easily captured the majority of the Demon Beasts in the Bai Long Branch Temple's Beast Garden.

In the end, the Spirit Beast Pouches handed to them totaled fifty-seven.

"Good, very good. As long as we can bring back the Demon Beasts in these Spirit Beast Pouches to the clan, our Zhou Family will not have come to this war in vain!"

Looking at the dozens of Spirit Beast Pouches handed over, even someone with Zhou Mingde's mental cultivation couldn't help but repeatedly praise the haul, his face aglow with joy.

As a family that passes down Beast Taming Skills, the Zhou Family viewed these Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts cultivated by the Dragon Transformation Sect as a prize more apt for the family than any other find.

In the future, as long as they could make use of these Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts, the reputation of the Beast Taming Zhou Family would truly be deserved and unshakeable!

"What about these people? They all have rich experience in breeding Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts. It would be a pity to kill them!"

"But if we don't kill them, when we retreat, I'm afraid none of the seniors will be willing to bring along these burdens!"

Zhou Chun's gaze shifted to the dozen or so surrendering Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators as he shared his concerns through a whispered transmission.

On hearing his words, Zhou Mingde also showed a contemplative expression.

He then shook his head slightly and said, "There's no other way. We'll just pick the three most experienced ones from among them to take with us. If we ask Senior Li to make an exception, there shouldn't be a problem. The rest will have to fend for themselves!"

"Sigh, that's the only option we have!"

Zhou Chun sighed, agreeing with the idea, and then personally separated the cultivators to talk with them and picked out the suitable ones.

After such a selection process, three of the most experienced beast tamers from the Dragon Transformation Sect were retained in the Beast Garden while the rest were sent away.

Whether those people could survive was no longer a concern for Zhou Chun and the others.

Next, the Zhou Family members stood guard in the Beast Garden, no longer entertaining the reckless desire to acquire more.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun were both aware that the battle to take the White Dragon Branch Temple Gate was not over, with a powerful Beast Tide still on its way.

Without knowing what Liu Yiping was really up to, they were unwilling to take further risks for unknown benefits.

Now, their greatest wish was to leave the Wasteland Territory as soon as possible and return their gains to the family.

Until these items were brought back to the Zhou Family, they couldn't truly consider them their property.

Although they didn't venture anywhere, the Beast Garden still had Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators fleeing to them occasionally.

Facing these cultivators who delivered themselves on a platter, the Zhou Family members naturally did not hold back.

Any Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators that came their way were quickly apprehended by Zhou Mingde, who even captured two of them as prisoners.

Thus, while fierce battles raged elsewhere around the White Dragon Branch Temple Gate, the region of the Beast Garden remained peaceful.

Other Jingguo Country cultivators did come to the Beast Garden during this time, but upon seeing the Zhou Family members had already occupied it, they could only leave, disappointed.

The intense battle lasted for several hours, and the majority of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators inside the White Dragon Branch Temple had either fled or fallen, with only a small number surrendering to save their lives.

Seeing the great battle had passed, the Zhou Family members in the Beast Garden also came out to scour the area.

The vast area of the White Dragon Branch Temple Gate had many residences of Foundation Establishment cultivators, all possible places to find valuable items.

Naturally, the Zhou Family members didn't miss the opportunity to freely collect these gains.

Just as they were about to take advantage of the situation to gather small fortunes, a giant earthen-yellow elephant suddenly dived from the sky, rushing straight towards the White Dragon Branch Temple Gate.

"No good, run!"

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde urgently shouted, grabbed Zhou Chun and the others, and threw them onto the back of the Fire Divine Jackal before the whole group soared into the sky to escape desperately.

Other Purple Mansion Phase cultivators with quick reflexes did the same.

Zhou Mingde had just led Zhou Chun and the rest past the White Dragon Branch Temple Gate when the giant earthen-yellow elephant crashed into the main peak of the gate.

Boom!

Instantly, the ground shook and dust filled the air.

A terrifying wave of shock spread instantly from the central main peak of the White Dragon Branch Temple Gate, covering a hundred miles, triggering an earthquake-like disaster. Countless cultivators who were too late to flee were killed on the spot, including some highly skilled Purple Mansion Phase cultivators.

"This beast courts death!"

A belated roar came from the sky as the two Golden Core cultivators who had been battling the giant earthen-yellow elephant caught up with it.

Neither of them could have imagined that a small moment of negligence would lead to such heavy casualties among the attacking cultivators.

Now, whether out of rage or a wish to make amends, both spared no effort in launching a furious attack on the giant earthen-yellow elephant.

The Zhou Family members, having narrowly escaped, saw this and quickly fled back to their temporary camp, their faces filled with fear, daring not stay any longer in such dangerous territory.

Clearly, with the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators inside the White Dragon Branch Temple either dead, fled, or surrendered, those high-ranking members no longer cared about any rules. To injure or kill the Jingguo Country Allied Forces, they did not mind using overwhelming force against the weaker.

At such times, what the lower and middle-rank cultivators could do was scatter and run for their lives, hoping not to be targeted.
