What does "that day is better" mean?

Upon hearing Zhou Mingde's question, Zhou Daoyi seemed to have already understood the answer without Zhou Chun needing to reply, and answered on his behalf.

Zhou Daoyi, looking thoughtful, said softly, "Does Zheng Chun mean to use this matter to create a bigger stir and get more people involved?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I meant!"

Zhou Chun nodded and admitted it on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde realized what was going on and said, "I understand now. Since Qinglian Temple has made its move, one Jiang family may not be enough to satisfy their appetite. If we can also injure some other forces in Lingzhou while we're eliminating the Jiang family, Qinglian Temple will definitely value us more and be more willing to help us handle the aftermath!"

"Yes, Qinglian Temple previously stood by and watched as various families defected to Tianjing Sect. Regardless of the reason, this caused great damage to their prestige. In order to restore this lost prestige and allow other families to continue to follow them with peace of mind, it is necessary to punish these traitors."

"When our Zhou family decided to launch a western expedition against the Jiang family, they clearly saw it as an opportunity to use our Zhou family as a pawn to teach those traitors a lesson."

"Now that we understand their plan, our Zhou family, given the circumstances, will certainly make this as big as possible!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly and calmly expressed her opinion.

It was easy to see from his calm expression and words that he did not mind being used as a pawn by Qinglian Temple.

As I said before, being used by others is not the most tragic thing; the most tragic thing is having no value to them.

A person who has no value to others must be living a very poor life, and the same applies to a family.

A smart person knows how to use others to their advantage when they are being taken advantage of.

After Zhou Chun explained the reasoning behind it, Zhou Mingde and the others were no longer so anxious. They simply maintained their offensive steadily and no longer had the mentality of being eager to break the formation.

At the same time, just as Jiangjiashan was besieged and facing a severe test.

Inside the gate of Tianjing Sect, Yu Jinghua also received a "Thousand-Mile Communication Talisman" from the Jiang family.

After joining the Tianjing Sect, Yu Jinghua became quite successful again.

Not only did Master Tianjing cure his old ailment contracted during the Southern Expedition, but he also helped him retrieve his split divine soul essence from the Zhou family, freeing him from their control.

Since he is currently the only Golden Core cultivator in the Heavenly Mirror Sect, and Heavenly Mirror True Person, as a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, cannot focus his energy on managing sect affairs, he can be said to have absolute power and is quite happy.

Upon receiving a message from the Jiang family, Yu Jinghua was surprised to learn that the Zhou family had launched a large-scale attack on the Jiang family in Lingzhou.

"What's going on? What's wrong with Zhou Mingde and the others? Why would they suddenly do something so unwise? And what did the Jiang family do to make them so angry?"

He muttered to himself with a slight frown, sensing that something was amiss.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Mingde, the other party shouldn't be such a reckless person, and shouldn't be unaware of the significant impact of attacking Jiang Family Mountain Gate deep into Lingzhou at this time.

"Could it be that Zhou Mingde has become arrogant because the Zhou family now has four cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, thinking that the Zhou family has returned to the ranks of Golden Core families and can act without restraint?"

"Or does he think I'll show them leniency out of consideration for our past relationship?"

Upon thinking of this, Yu Jinghua's expression turned cold, and he immediately decided to personally go to the Jiang family to find out what was going on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the Heavenly Mirror Sect's mountain gate, he suddenly sensed two Golden Core level auras.

This discovery startled him, and he quickly looked toward the source of the aura.

But above the clouds, two Taoist priests in green robes sat facing each other, playing a game of chess with black and white pieces.

At this moment, seemingly noticing his gaze, a slow, leisurely voice sounded in his ear: "The conflict between the Jiang family and the Zhou family is a private feud between the two families. Why should Fellow Daoist Yu interfere? Aren't you afraid of being in an awkward position after meeting the Zhou family?"

Although the tone of these words was calm, the sarcasm in them was undisguised.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinghua's face darkened, and he retorted angrily, "How I conduct myself is none of your business!"

He definitely wouldn't have dared to say that before.

However, with the support of the Nascent Soul cultivator, True Person Tianjing, he is no longer afraid of any Golden Core cultivator from the Azure Lotus Sect, at least in terms of words.

But as soon as he spoke, the blue-robed Taoist priest's gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "This humble Taoist has no interest in instructing those ungrateful and treacherous people. I am merely following orders and have no choice but to come!"

These sarcastic words enraged Yu Jinghua once again, and she glared at him angrily.

"What? You want to fight me? Then let me show you what you're made of!"

As the Taoist in green robes spoke, he stood up.

Seeing this, Yu Jinghua's anger subsided considerably, and he turned and headed back towards the mountain gate.

He would never fight with a Golden Core cultivator from Qinglian Temple; that would likely only bring him humiliation.

However, since Qinglian Temple specifically sent two Golden Core cultivators to intercept him, it's likely that the Zhou family's attack on the Jiang family this time is not as simple as ordinary revenge.

Therefore, after returning to the Tianjing Sect's mountain gate, Yu Jinghua immediately went to the place where the Tianjing Master was in seclusion to request an audience.

However, to his dismay, Master Tianjing did not receive him, only replying with the four words "Take care of yourself."

"Leave everything to me—does this mean I have to decide how to handle things?"

"If I handle it wrong, who will be held responsible?"

Yu Jinghua frowned as he stared out of the mountains, feeling extremely uneasy.

He had realized that this incident could easily escalate into a major disaster.

He didn't want to shoulder this heavy responsibility alone.

"Perhaps it's time to call them all over to discuss this matter together, so that if something goes wrong, it won't be solely my responsibility!"

Thinking this, Yu Jinghua immediately issued a summons to all the Purple Mansion stage cultivators of the Heavenly Mirror Sect inside the mountain gate, gathering them to discuss the Jiang family's request for assistance.

However, how many people who can reach the Purple Mansion stage are fools?

Yu Jinghua usually wields absolute power and makes decisions on his own, but now he has summoned all these Purple Mansion stage cultivators to discuss the matter and ask for their opinions. Who among them would be foolish enough to believe that he was actually asking them to come and offer their opinions?

Therefore, no matter what Yu Jinghua said, everyone else either kept quiet or said they would do whatever he commanded; no one actually offered any opinions.

This situation left Yu Jinghua feeling both ashamed and angry, as well as helpless.

Finally, she said angrily, "Fine, since none of you want to support the Jiang family, then we won't send anyone. Let them fend for themselves!"

His forceful attempt to shift blame finally made it impossible for those people to remain silent.

One of them quickly suggested, "Since the deputy sect leader can't leave the mountain gate, why not send someone to ask the families that are on good terms with the Jiang family to send people to support them? Just two or three families need to help, and that should be enough to drive back the Zhou family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jinghua clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Brilliant! Fellow Daoist Lin's plan is brilliant! We'll leave the task of delivering this message to you, Fellow Daoist Lin. Whether the entire Jiang family of several hundred people can escape this calamity depends entirely on you, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator who had offered the advice immediately turned pale and nearly died of anger.

He never imagined that Yu Jinghua would be so shameless.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have said a word.

At this point, he could only grit his teeth and say, "My cultivation is too low, and I'm afraid I'm not up to the task. Perhaps the Vice Sect Leader should choose another fellow Daoist with higher cultivation to go."

"Then who among you is willing to take over this task from Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Yu Jinghua glanced at the other Purple Mansion cultivators and asked softly.

The result was, of course, no one answered; they all pretended to be stupid.

Seeing this, Yu Jinghua was not surprised at all. He spread his hands towards the Lin surname Purple Mansion cultivator and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you see, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you are the most suitable one!"

Seeing this, the cultivator surnamed Lin had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept the matter with a frustrated expression.

After seeing the Lin surname cultivator leave the mountain gate smoothly without being intercepted, Yu Jinghua became even more certain of his guess.

Qinglian Temple is indeed preparing to stir up trouble!

Time passed slowly, and soon half a day had passed since the Zhou family besieged the Jiang family's mountain gate.

After half a day of attack, the protective array around the Jiang family's mountain gate was already in a precarious state, and the green clouds guarding the gate were visibly fading.

On the other hand, although the Zhou family had been attacking for half a day, they did not show much fatigue because they had been taking Rejuvenation Pills to restore their mana.

However, the demonic beasts, unable to restore their mana through the Rejuvenation Pill, had already exhausted too much of their mana, and several second-tier demonic beasts had temporarily withdrawn from the battle to rest.

Even so, it's clear to anyone with eyes that it's only a matter of time before the Jiang family's mountain gate formation is broken.

As the controller of the mountain-guarding formation, Jiang Shicheng knew better than anyone else what the current situation of the formation was.

Looking at the Zhou family members relentlessly attacking his mountain gate, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why? Why haven't the Tianjing Sect's reinforcements arrived yet? Have they really lost all sense of shame?"

This wasn't the first time he'd said something like that.

But each time he talked about it, his despair deepened.

He knew very well that without reinforcements, the Jiang family would have no chance of survival today.

Then he couldn't help but recall how things had come to this, and he gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, "If I can escape this predicament, I will definitely rectify the family's conduct and make those fools who are still basking in past glory suffer a severe beating!"

Whether it was true that Heaven heard his words or not, it was willing to grant the Jiang family a glimmer of hope.

Just as Jiang Shicheng was becoming increasingly desperate, he suddenly saw several streaks of light flying from the distant horizon, and they soon arrived outside the Jiang family's mountain gate.

When the streaks of light stopped, the situation of the newcomers was exposed to the Zhou and Jiang family cultivators.

The sudden burst of light revealed two cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage and five cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"It's Fellow Daoist He and Fellow Daoist Guo who have brought reinforcements!"

Inside the Jiang family's mountain gate, after Jiang Shicheng clearly saw the face of the person who came outside, he was overjoyed and shouted out the person's background.

Outside the Jiang family's mountain gate, the reinforcements from the He and Guo families revealed themselves and immediately shouted at the Zhou family, "What do you Zhou family people want? This is Lingzhou! The Jiang family is a family protected by the Tianjing Sect. Aren't you afraid that the Tianjing Sect's Master Tianjing will annihilate your entire clan in his anger by attacking the Jiang family's mountain gate like this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately replied in a deep voice, "So what if it's Lingzhou? The Jiang family has repeatedly harmed important members of my Zhou family without cause, treating my Zhou family as nothing. If my Zhou family doesn't retaliate in kind, wouldn't we become a laughingstock!"

After saying that, he continued in a forceful tone, "Today, the highest-ranking members of the Zhou family are gathered here, vowing to annihilate the entire Jiang family. If you dare to obstruct us, don't blame the Zhou family for being impolite!"

These strong words instantly enraged the reinforcements from the two opposing races.

Then a burly man with a thick beard opened his mouth and shouted angrily, "Such arrogance! Let me, Guo, see how you'll show your impoliteness this time!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already unleashed his magical weapon and launched an attack on Zhou Mingde.

Seeing this, the others also launched an attack on the Zhou family from behind the Jiang family's mountain gate.

On the Zhou family's side, seeing that the Jiang family reinforcements had attacked their side first, Zhou Mingde immediately shouted in a low voice, "That's enough, go all out!"

His command to unleash his full power immediately triggered an outburst from all the Zhou family cultivators.

On Zhou Chun's side, he immediately formed hand seals and used the "Ancestral Revival" secret technique on the Silver Lightning Python, turning it into a lightning dragon.

At the same time, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, releasing all the "Mysterious Armor Golden Feather" and "Flying Fire Scorpion" he had cultivated.

Previously, due to their fear of the Corpse Demon Cult, the Zhou family had never dared to reveal their family's insect-repelling techniques too much.

However, the Corpse Demon Sect is now preoccupied with its own problems, and the Zhou family has Lin Hongyu, a Golden Core cultivator, as their trump card. Zhou Chun no longer needs to deliberately tie his own hands.

The revelation of these two methods instantly made Zhou Chun the most dazzling presence in the entire venue, even overshadowing Zhou Daoyi, who possessed the Azure Dragon.

In the sky, two dragons, one blue and one silver, roared, one manipulating the wind and clouds, the other controlling the lightning. Their imposing presence inspired awe.

"What a magnificent pair of wind and thunder dragons!"

Dozens of miles above the battlefield, a spectator hidden in the shadows gazed at the twin dragons of wind and thunder in the sky, his eyes revealing surprise and admiration.

Then he narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "It's fortunate that the Zhou family doesn't have a single Golden Core cultivator, otherwise they might be a potential threat to the sect in the future. It seems I'll have to remind my senior brother, the sect leader, when I get back, and make sure that the incident with True Person Tianjing is not repeated!"
