Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 474 - 250: Legion of Death, Hongyu’s Treasure Gift [Subscription Request]_2

```

The six spirit-possessed corpse generals, upon seeing this, did not continue their pursuit, but rather disbanded the formation and continued to sweep through the lower and middle-ranked Demon Beasts in the midst of the Beast Tide with the Legion of Death.

Their Corpse Army’s mission was to clear out the Beast Tide around the Fulong Stronghold; utilizing the corpse refinement’s trait of not knowing exhaustion and being able to recover strength by absorbing the life essence from the blood of Demon Beasts, they fostered a war of attrition to utterly collapse the Beast Tide Army.

Although the Red Fire Flood Dragon had killed a significant number of refined corpses, the loss was completely bearable in comparison to the entire Corpse Army.

As the Corpse Army, forming the Legion of Death, made an unobstructed advance through the Beast Tide and many Demon Beasts within it began to flee out of fear of the Corpse Army, the upper echelons of the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Demon Beast side had no choice but to divert more forces to stop the Corpse Army.

The previously retreating Red Fire Flood Dragon returned to the battlefield, accompanied by a fourth-tier inferior Fire Leopard Demon Beast and a Golden Core Stage Cultivator from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

A man and two beasts plunged back into the midst of the Legion of Death, and an intense battle erupted between them and the six spirit-possessed corpse generals leading the Corpse Army.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were also in the midst of the battlefield, facing over a hundred third-ranked Demon Beasts and dozens of Purple Mansion Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect, and they even spotted the figure of Lin Hongyu.

But now on the battlefield, neither side dared to contact the other, and they could only fight their respective enemies without acknowledging each other.

In terms of numbers, the Jingguo Country Allied Forces still held a slight advantage.

After all, many Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect had been eradicated in the previous campaign to the south, and for this battle on home turf, most of the Cultivators who had previously stayed behind to guard the sects had been dispatched.

This was the basis of the confidence that fueled the Jingguo Country Allied Forces’ initiative to attack.

However, in actual combat, the Jingguo Country Allied Forces, with Cultivators from various sources, ended up being somewhat restrained, far less daring and resolute than the Demon Beasts, and not as willing to risk their lives as the Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

So even with their numerical advantage, the battlefield never saw a one-sided domination or a significant upper hand emerge.

Before the battle, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi had already resolved not to fight as tenaciously as before, not to stand out too much like they used to.

If not for the fact that their Spirit Pets were already well-known, they would have been hesitant even to send them into battle.

Yet, even with many reservations on the side of the Jingguo Country Allied Forces, as time passed, their numerical advantage began to reveal itself.

By the late night hours, due to the heavy casualties from being outnumbered, multiple Cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect started showing signs of excessive Mana depletion, no longer as fierce as before.

Moreover, their prolonged use of the "Secret of Dragon Transformation" caused significant strain on their bodies, resulting in various symptoms of weakness.

In contrast, the Demon Beasts still held up, maintaining good condition in both physical and Mana strength.

When the opponents of these Dragon Transformation Sect Cultivators noticed their weakened state, they naturally did not miss the opportunity, intensifying their attacks much more fiercely than before.

By midnight, several Protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect began to suffer casualties one after another.

With every fallen Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect, one or two Jingguo Purple Mansion Cultivators would join others to battle the enemy.

Then, like a snowball effect, more and more Protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect fell to the multitudes encircling them, which exponentially increased the pressure on those who remained.

Once the number of fallen Protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect exceeded ten, the advantage held by the Jingguo Country Allied Forces became very apparent.

"This is no good, I can’t hold out anymore, everyone retreat! Continuing to fight is a dead end!"

Finally, a Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect, after being besieged by three peers, became the first to show despair and started to flee for his life.

When death loomed imminent, commands and considerations mattered not, only one’s own life was of paramount importance.

And with one leading the way, it became difficult for the rest not to follow.

Very quickly, a major rout unfolded!

All the Protectors of the Dragon Transformation Sect began to use their various skills to flee the battlefield, with no one considering the consequences of such an escape.

The flight of these individuals also caused the third-ranked Demon Beasts still holding their ground to be both shocked and enraged, subsequently adding to the number joining the fleeing ranks.

```

At this time, fleeing did not necessarily lead to death, but staying on the battlefield meant certain demise. Even a Demon Beast knew how to choose in such a situation.

"Chase them, we can’t let these beasts escape so easily!"

Watching the fleeing Demon Beasts, the cultivators from the three major sects loudly commanded their followers to pursue, and indeed, many people went after the escaping creatures.

In order not to invite criticism, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi also joined the chase.

And their target was none other than Lin Hongyu, who had fled earlier than the others.

Lin Hongyu’s injuries had not yet healed, and her participation in the battle was out of sheer necessity.

This night on the battlefield, she dared not charge rashly as she had in the past, instead being much more reserved and cautious.

Zhou Family’s duo quickly noticed her flight and tacitly led them in a certain direction.

After flying non-stop for over a thousand miles, Lin Hongyu landed in a valley to wait for the Zhou Family’s two members.

Before long, the two men from the Zhou Family arrived in the valley on the back of a Green Flood Dragon.

"It has been years since we last met, Taoist Friend Lin. Have you been well?"

Inside the valley, Zhou Mingde greeted the lady in red across from him with a smile.

Then he stepped down from the back of the Green Flood Dragon and gestured to Zhou Daoyi to put away the conspicuously elegant Spirit Pet.

Of course, this was to show goodwill towards Lin Hongyu.

However, upon hearing his words, Lin Hongyu responded with a weary sigh, "Taoist Friend Zhou knows very well the plight I currently face, please don’t ridicule me!"

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde’s smile faded, and he looked earnestly at her as he asked, "Then, what plans do you have for the future, Taoist Friend Lin? After the severe defeat of the Dragon Transformation Sect, I’m afraid you have no choice but to fully retract your forces and entrench yourselves in the headquarters. Your previous plans are likely unattainable now!"

Hearing his words, Lin Hongyu could not help but shake her head with a bitter smile, "What to do next, I am also uncertain. Now I can only take one step at a time. If we truly have to entrench ourselves in the headquarters, then I have no other choice but to follow the decisions from above!"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she looked earnestly at Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, "But if there is still a chance, I implore Taoist Friend Zhou to keep our previous agreement and help me free myself from these shackles!"

"Rest assured, Taoist Friend Lin, as long as there truly is an opportunity, Zhou and Daoyi will definitely do our best to help you achieve your wish!"

Faced with Lin Hongyu’s hopeful gaze, Zhou Mingde glanced at Zhou Daoyi, who was stiff-faced and silent beside him, and readily agreed.

Lin Hongyu, relieved by his promise, couldn’t help but reveal a smile, "With these words from Taoist Friend Zhou, I can rest assured."

With that, she suddenly patted her Storage Pouch at her waist and took out a white Demon Beast Egg with dark red patterns.

"Just recently, I acquired an egg of a Bloodflame Dragon Python. This item is of little use to me, so I’m gifting it to Taoist Friend Zhou."

She was clearly a shrewd person, well aware of how to forge ties with the Zhou Family and cater to their likes.

The Bloodflame Dragon Python was a unique Demon Beast of the Blood Dragon Hall of the Dragon Transformation Sect, a mid-level Demon Beast with the bloodline of a Bloodflame Flood Dragon. Its potential was not much less than that of Zhou Chun’s Silver Lightning Python.

Any cultivator from the Zhou Family would absolutely not refuse such a treasured gift.

"How could I accept this? You’re too kind, Taoist Friend Lin!"

While Zhou Mingde verbally demurred with polite words, his hands honestly accepted the Bloodflame Dragon Python egg.

Seeing this, Lin Hongyu smiled lightly, "As long as Taoist Friend Zhou is pleased with the gift, if I truly can free myself someday, I will surely prepare another generous gift to thank you."

After finishing her words, she waved her hand, "Well, to prevent our relationship from being exposed, I’ll take my leave first. Farewell!"

She then gave Zhou Daoyi a deep look and soared into the sky, leaving the valley behind.
