Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 211 The Jiang family is nothing special.

Yunzhou, the Yunyue Mountains.

Winning two matches in the first game of the finals has significantly boosted the morale of the Zhou family.

After defeating the formidable Yan family, the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators of the Zhou family became even more confident in the battles to come.

Seeing that the Zhou family could defeat a powerful enemy like the Yan family without suffering any damage, the cultivators from the other families felt a chill in their hearts and sensed the pressure.

Especially the Jiang family of Lingzhou.

The Jiang family is also among the families that have made it to the finals, which means they will definitely have a showdown with the Zhou family.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the Jiang family has little chance of defeating the Zhou family in both the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining fields.

This discovery left several high-ranking members of the Jiang family with grim expressions and unpleasant looks.

After the Zhou family members stepped down from the stage, they immediately went to the rest area with the Yan family members to meditate and recover their magical power.

The upcoming battles will be more intense than the previous group stage matches, and they simply don't have the energy to focus on anything else.

Time passed slowly, and four days went by in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of four days, the Zhou family averaged three appearances per day and had already fought against more than a dozen families.

However, the outcome of the battle was not optimistic.

Although they were victorious in both the Foundation Building Field and the Aura Refining Field, they only lost twice in the Aura Refining Field.

However, Zifu Stadium hasn't won a single game!

The top 30 families that made it to the finals all had cultivators at least at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. If Zhou Mingde didn't go all out, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

On the fifth day, after the Zhou family fought two more battles with the two other families, the third battle was finally scheduled against the Jiang family, whom they had been paying close attention to.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's an honor to meet you."

Below the arena, Zhou Mingde glanced at the two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Jiang family opposite him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family elder, who possessed a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivation, immediately replied coldly, "The Zhou family is truly capable; no wonder they dared to be so arrogant back then!"

"When it comes to arrogance, my Zhou family wouldn't dare compare to the Jiang family. No cultivator in my Zhou family would dare to commit such murder and robbery!"

Zhou Mingde gave a cold smile and retorted sharply, his tone no less forceful.

Hearing their words, many of the spectators outside the arena were slightly taken aback, not expecting that the two families seemed to have a grudge against each other.

Then many cultivators who loved watching the excitement immediately became interested.

"Interesting. Judging from their conversation, it seems their two families have some kind of feud? But aren't they in different places, one in Lanzhou and the other in Lingzhou?"

"I remember now, the Jiang family had a master alchemist named Jiang Shixian, who suddenly disappeared a few years ago. The Jiang family claimed that he went on a long journey, but could the truth be that he died at the hands of the Zhou family?"

"Interesting. Two feuding families have met at this conference. Even if it's just to save face, they'll go all out and use every trick in the book!"

All the spectators stared wide-eyed at the arena, anticipating a spectacular show.

Although the previous battles were intense, they became boring after a while, and it always felt like something was missing.

Now they understand what was missing: blood!

What's the difference between a battle without bloodshed and children playing house?

As spectators, all they want to see now is rivers of blood!

Especially those rogue cultivators who came here specifically to watch the battle, since they themselves would not participate in the battle, they were even more eager to see the participating families fight like dogs, with blood flowing like rivers.

For them, nothing was more joyful than watching Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators, whom they could only look up to in ordinary times, bleed and die.

Seeing those arrogant and haughty family cultivators who usually acted arrogantly in front of them bleed and die makes them feel as happy as if they've been coated with honey.

"So the Jiang family also has a grudge against the Zhou family? If that's the case..."

Inside the Zhang family's stronghold on Tiantai Mountain, Zhang Kaida, the family patriarch, watched Zhou Mingde and his two companions refining array tokens below the arena. His eyes flickered, as if he was plotting something again.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It's not hard to understand what Zhang Kaida was planning at this time.

But will he really get what he wants?

Soon, Zhou Mingde and the two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Jiang family stepped onto the arena.

Facing the Zhou family, their sworn enemy, the two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Jiang family indeed disregarded martial ethics and prepared to fight two against one.

Unfortunately, Zhou Mingde didn't give them a chance at all. He activated the array token as soon as he came up and withdrew from the battle.

"Shh! That's shameless! At least hold out for three moves before leaving the stage!"

Many viewers were disappointed at not seeing the bloodshed they had hoped for, booing loudly and expressing their displeasure with Zhou Mingde's shameless behavior.

But their displeasure had absolutely no effect on Zhou Mingde.

If the life or death of the family is not at stake, and one insists on fighting when one is clearly outmatched, then one is simply asking for trouble.

Zhou Mingde needs to conserve his strength for future battles!

"If the Zhou family had been as sensible as Fellow Daoist Zhou and handed over the murderer sooner, we might be able to let you go as we are today!"

After stepping off the arena, the early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Jiang family suddenly looked at Zhou Mingde and coldly uttered these words.

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde retorted with a cold laugh, "The Zhou family and I have always been pragmatic, but some people are simply not, always ungrateful!"

The Jiang family cultivator from the Purple Mansion realm who had spoken was taken aback by these words and became somewhat embarrassed and angry. He couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, let's wait and see who's being shameless!"

After saying that, he left with the elder beside him.

After some time, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from both families finally made their appearance.

The Jiang family's record in the Foundation Establishment arena is evenly split between victories and defeats, far less impressive than that of the Zhou family.

Their ability to reach the top 30 finals was entirely due to the large number of points gained by the two Purple Mansion stage cultivators through frequent victories.

As soon as the two sides appeared, the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Jiang family were immediately targeted by Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Daoquan.

The remaining two Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivators were dealt with by Zhou Jiapeng, Earth Armor Bear, and Golden Wing Iron Feather Eagle, and by Zhou Chun and Silver Lightning Python.

The last Foundation Establishment cultivator was handed over to Zhou Jiarui and the Golden Armored Rock Turtle.

With such a lineup, the two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators and the early-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Jiang family were under immense pressure. They were immediately overwhelmed and could only barely hold on to defend.

Zhou Daoquan kept Zhu Yanhe by his side this time, ready to support him and Zhou Daoyi at any time, which made it difficult for the other two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Jiang family to find an opportunity.

Not long after, Zhou Chun launched the first attack, and the Silver Lightning Python unleashed three lightning orbs in one go, instantly breaking through the defenses of the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Jiang family.

Zhou Chun then launched an attack, transforming the "Golden Cauldron Mystic Light" into a golden spear aimed directly at his opponent's head.

This left the Jiang family cultivators with no other choice but to activate the array token they carried with them using their mental power.

A white light instantly enveloped it, but the golden spear could not budge the light barrier in the slightest.

But Zhou Chun smiled.

Without even glancing at the eliminated Jiang family cultivator, he immediately turned his attention to another mid-Foundation Establishment Jiang family cultivator.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Jiang family's Foundation Establishment Arena ended in defeat with three cultivators being eliminated.

"The Jiang family of Lingzhou is nothing special!"

As he stepped down from the stage, Zhou Daoyi glanced at the Jiang family across the way and said lightly.

"you……"

Several Jiang family cultivators glared at him angrily, their faces filled with shame and rage.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun coldly sneered, "What? If you're not satisfied, how about we have a life-or-death duel between clans after the Hundred Clans Assembly? Then, bring out whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the Jiang family cultivators changed again, and they were speechless.

Just now on the arena, they had fully witnessed the power of the Zhou family's lineup.

Even if there were no restrictions on the use of talismans and magical artifacts outside the arena, they wouldn't even have a 30% chance of winning.

"Why waste words with them? The future will tell who's stronger and who's weaker!"

An elder from the Jiang family, in a deep voice, spoke, then waved his sleeve and headed to the rest area.

Seeing this, the other Jiang family cultivators followed with grim faces.

In the next battle of aura refining, the Jiang family, unsurprisingly, lost to the Zhou family once again.

With one win and two losses, although the points were the same, the Jiang family undoubtedly lost to the Zhou family in terms of prestige.

In the eyes of the audience, the Jiang family was inferior to the Zhou family.

This is why the three major sects divided the "Hundred Clans Assembly" into three venues: the Purple Mansion Venue, the Foundation Establishment Venue, and the Qi Refining Venue.

For a powerful family, top experts are certainly very important, as they can raise the family's ceiling.

However, the lower and middle-level cultivators are equally important; they are the cornerstone of the Vexi family and are indispensable.

If a family has only two or three cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, while the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages are all mediocre and unworthy of development.

That family's glory will only last for two or three hundred years, and they may not exist for another four or five hundred years.

Although a family may only have one cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, it has many outstanding talents among its Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages, ensuring a steady stream of successors.

As long as this family doesn't suffer a sudden calamity, it can pass on its legacy steadily and orderly for hundreds of years, and even grow stronger and stronger.

The three major sects wanted to select the thirty strongest cultivation families in Jing Kingdom and give them benefits that other families did not have. Naturally, they could not be short-sighted and simply include a family based on the number of Purple Mansion stage cultivators it had.

The leaders of each family understand this principle, which is why they use their family's strongest lineup to fight in this "Hundred Clans Conference".

Days passed one after another, and soon the finals lasted for seven days.

In seven days, the Zhou family has fought twenty-six consecutive battles, and now there are only three more to go before the finals end.

By this time, everyone was exhausted, and several of them had internal injuries.

However, they are extremely excited mentally.

Based on the current points, as long as they win all three of their remaining matches in the Foundation Building and Qi Refining arenas, they will secure a place among the thirteen families!

"Only three matches left! Let's all give it our all and win these last three games, so that the name of the Zhou family will be known throughout Jingguo!"

After leaving the rest area, Zhou Mingde gathered the Zhou family members together to cheer them on.

He himself was also very excited at that moment.

When he led the Zhou family to settle in Jiufengling decades ago, he never imagined that in just two or three decades, he would be able to lead the rebuilt Zhou family to where it is today!

With the Zhou family ranked among the top 30 in Jingguo, who dares to say that it won't rise to prominence again?

Will those who chose to abandon the Zhou family regret their decision?

Zhou Mingde pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a longing for victory.

Soon the Zhou family took the stage again.

This time, Zhou Mingde still couldn't win in the Purple Mansion Arena. His opponent was a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator and an early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, an incredibly strong lineup. Zhou Mingde simply chose to concede defeat.

Meanwhile, the Zhou family in the Foundation Building Field quickly defeated their opponent.

Now that the battle has progressed this far, the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other families are in worse condition than those from the Zhou family, not better. After all, at least the Zhou family members have spirit pets to share the damage and pressure.

The same applies to aura cultivation.

After winning this match, the Zhou family members took the opportunity to rest.

In the penultimate match, the Zhou family encountered a more formidable opponent.

This time, our opponent's family has a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator in the Purple Mansion arena, while the Foundation Establishment arena has three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, one mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and one early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. The mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, in particular, cultivates combat techniques.

So, after the Purple Mansion Arena began, Zhou Mingde started his final battle of this "Hundred Clans Conference" ahead of schedule, which was also his most glorious moment!

The mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator opposite him thought he could easily win this time and was very relaxed.

But this time, Zhou Mingde displayed unprecedented fighting spirit.

After engaging the enemy for nearly half an hour, he suddenly made the Fire God Jackal spit out the inner core of the demon beast he had cultivated!

In previous battles, the Fire God Jackal had never used its inner core as a weapon, so much so that Zhou Mingde's opponents had almost forgotten that a third-tier monster could use its inner core as a weapon.

At this moment, the sudden attack by the Fire God Jackal caught the opponent off guard, and for a moment they even thought of the move of self-destructing the inner core!

This instantly made him break out in a cold sweat. He had already locked onto the array token with his mind. Once he detected any signs of the demon beast's inner core exploding, he would immediately activate the array token.

But what happened next left him unsure whether to feel fortunate or regretful.

Fortunately, the monster's inner core did not explode!

Regretfully, because he was focused on the array token and the demon beast's inner core, he didn't have time to use any more methods to defend against the opponent's attack.

Thus, under the combined onslaught of the demon beast's inner core and Zhou Mingde, his original defensive measures were immediately breached. Before he could redo his defenses, Zhou Mingde's magical weapon was already hurtling towards him.

In the end, he could only activate the array token with deep regret and give up on his own initiative!

Zhou Mingde's victory undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Zhou family and significantly increased their margin for error.

With these three points, the Zhou family can afford to lose even one game.

In the subsequent foundation-building arena, after several attempts, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun, and others gave up on the idea of ​​having Zhou Chun use the "Ancestral Revival" secret technique, and decided to save this ultimate move for the final battle.

However, the Zhou family still emerged victorious in terms of overall strength.

In this way, as long as the Zhou family doesn't lose the final Foundation Establishment Arena match, they will be guaranteed a spot in the top 30!

I'm recommending a friend's new book, "Back to 02, Starting with Being Chased by a Rich Woman." The title says it all. Rumor has it that this guy is a master at flirting; he's almost forty and can still charm young girls. I'm in awe!
