Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 446 The New Official Takes Office [8,000-word long chapter, please subscribe]

Once you step onto the battlefield, it becomes very difficult to return home for supplies.

Zhou Chun himself is well aware of this.

So after returning to the Zhou family, he began to hand over clan affairs and prepare for war.

First, there's the issue of the Zhou family's safety. After the news of Zhou Chun killing "Corpse Demon General" Jiang Zhong is made public, the Zhou family will definitely become a key target of the Corpse Demon Sect.

Therefore, in order to allow Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu to fight with peace of mind on the front lines, and also to appease the other brave cultivators, Qinglian Temple will send Golden Core cultivators to be stationed in Hongya Market to take care of the Zhou family's Jiufeng Ridge.

They will also directly send two cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage to Jiufeng Ridge to guard the area together with Zhou Daoquan for ten years.

With this lineup, Jiufengling shouldn't have too much of a problem.

As for Tu Yunling, under the protection of the forbidden array [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Array], unless a late-stage Golden Core cultivator personally intervenes, Zhou Mingde should be able to hold out until reinforcements from Tianjing Manor arrive.

After Zhou Chun went to the front lines to fight, the Zhou family will no longer be selected to fight on the front lines even if more cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage need to be drawn from the front lines.

Therefore, Zhou Chun's main arrangement for the clan was to have the clan members focus on cultivation within the clan and not go out easily.

He himself seized the opportunity to go to the wilderness. First, he collected most of the mature and half of the adult demon bees from the "Frostbee" swarm into his spirit beast bag. Second, he met with the High Priest of the Scale Frog Clan, Ukuru, to inform him of his upcoming mission to the battlefield and to confirm future exchanges and trade between the two clans. Third, he instructed the cultivators in the wilderness to shrink their activity area and enter a state of full rest.

After arranging things in the wilderness, Zhou Chun hurried to the Yan Yang Sect region to pay his respects to Master Zhu Wuyai, who had a connection with the Zhou family.

"Please forgive me, Senior Zhu. I have come here to disturb you because I have an important matter I would like to ask for your help with."

Inside Zhu Wuyai's cave, after being received, Zhou Chun politely apologized for his unauthorized visit.

At this time, Zhu Wuyai was undoubtedly very busy.

A weapon-refining master like him is not easily drawn to the front lines, but he will be assigned many weapon-refining tasks.

Zhou Chun's sudden visit would definitely disturb his cultivation and work.

Fortunately, Zhu Wuyai had a good impression of him and did not show any displeasure at this moment. Instead, he looked at him with curiosity and asked, "Young friend Zhou is not a rash person. You have come without prior notice and in such a hurry that you must have something important to discuss. May I ask how I can help you?"

"Senior Zhu, you are wise. I have come to pay my respects in haste because I have a favor to ask of you."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he recounted his upcoming trip to the Feng Kingdom battlefield to compete for the title of one of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits".

Now that the matter is settled and the news will be announced soon, there's no need to hide it from outsiders.

Speaking out now will only benefit his trip.

As expected, just like any other cultivator who heard about this for the first time, Zhu Wuyai was extremely shocked and incredulous after hearing that he had killed "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong.

"Incredible! Unbelievable! Young friend Zhou, you've been hiding this too well!"

Zhu Wuyai stared at Zhou Chun in shock, and after a long silence, he finally exhaled and let out a gasp of amazement.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "This junior didn't intend to hide anything, nor did I intend to deliberately show off anything!"

He then bowed to him and said, "I am about to go to the battlefield and would like to hone my skills before battle. Therefore, I have come to pay my respects to Senior Zhu today and would like to ask for your help in repairing a few magical artifacts so that I can have more protection on the battlefield!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuyai's eyes immediately lit up, and he clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! Excellent! Since Fellow Daoist Zhou is going to the front lines to kill enemies and eliminate demons, I will certainly do my utmost to assist you!"

Zhu Wuyai was well aware of the immense benefits it would bring to the Zhu family to cultivate a good relationship with a promising junior cultivator who could compete for the title of one of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits."

It was rare for Zhou Chun to take the initiative to find him, so how could he miss such an opportunity to build good relationships?

This was also within Zhou Chun's expectations.

So he immediately took out several stolen items from the Great Zhou Kingdom and handed them over to Zhu Wuyai for inspection.

His main problem right now is a lack of defensive means, so the magical artifacts he took out were all defensive artifacts left behind when he killed his opponents.

For example, the silver bell magic weapon and the gold bead magic weapon obtained by killing the cultivator who came out of the teleportation array on the Dolan Grassland, and the earthen yellow shield magic weapon obtained by killing Yan Qiyang.

Another item found in Jiang Zhong's storage bag is a golden umbrella, a magical artifact. The umbrella ribs and part of the canopy are damaged, but there is still a possibility of repair.

Speaking of which, Zhou Chun had acquired quite a few third-tier magic artifacts in the Great Zhou Kingdom. Thanks to these magic artifacts he brought back, several Purple Mansion stage cultivators in the Zhou family now have magic artifacts that suit them.

His killing of several demonic cultivators has significantly increased the number of third-tier magic weapons accumulated by the Zhou family, meaning they will basically no longer need to purchase them.

"These magical artifacts of yours, young friend, are all top-quality pieces. Not only are the materials used in their crafting excellent, but the craftsmanship of the artisans is also superb. Repairing them would be quite difficult, and I am not confident that I can repair them all. I can only do my best!"

After examining the magical artifacts Zhou Chun had taken out, Zhu Wuyai looked at him with a solemn expression and shared his opinion.

Repairing magical artifacts crafted by others is a considerable challenge even for master craftsmen.

Zhou Chun had heard about this before, so after hearing Zhu Wuyai's words, he nodded in understanding and said, "It's alright, Senior Zhu, please feel free to give it a try. I can accept whatever the outcome may be."

At this point, he added, "Regarding the materials for the repair, I would appreciate it if you could advance me the money. I can offer you magical treasures and spiritual materials in exchange!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuyai immediately laughed and said, "Young friend Zhou, you're too kind. How much material is needed to repair a magic artifact? Although I'm not wealthy, I still have enough!"

As a master craftsman, it's hard to say about the materials he possesses for crafting magical artifacts. He must have stockpiled a lot of other spiritual metals for crafting third-tier magical artifacts, both in his own hands and in the Zhu family's treasury. If all else fails, he can also obtain them through his own network of connections from other channels.

Now that he wants to befriend Zhou Chun, he certainly won't be stingy or unwilling to invest in this area.

Zhou Chun felt that he had done his job and did not argue with him further about the matter.

After all, repairing magical artifacts mainly depends on the craftsman's skill; he only needs to repay Zhu Wuyai's favor.

Giving them any magical artifact or spiritual material later would be more than enough to cover the costs of related material losses.

However, just as Zhou Chun was about to bid farewell to Zhu Wuyai and leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I have something here that I would like to ask Senior Zhu to appraise and see what its use is."

He then took out the black bead left behind after the fourth-tier zombie was refined and explained its origin to Zhu Wuyai.

Lin Hongyu had said at the time that those weapon-refining masters might know the use of this item.

Zhou Chun, not wanting to bother two people at once, simply asked Zhu Wuyai for advice on the matter.

Upon hearing his words, Zhu Wuyai also looked surprised and said, "This is indeed a rare item. Let me take a closer look."

Then he took the black bead and examined it carefully. After obtaining Zhou Chun's consent, he even used his own true fire to burn the black bead as an experiment.

After such an appraisal, Zhu Wuyai shook his head slightly and said, "I can't see anything either. The material itself is as hard as many magical artifact materials. It contains pure corpse evil energy and thunder and fire power, as well as another special power that is difficult to identify. Such a complex structure is definitely not suitable for refining normal magical artifacts. Perhaps those demonic artifact refiners will have a way to deal with it."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Even Master Zhu says so, then it seems this thing really can only be kept as a rare toy."

Then he put away the black bead that Zhu Wuyai had handed back, cupped his hands in farewell, and took his leave.

Half a month after Zhou Chun returned to Jiufeng Ridge from the Zhu family, the news of his killing of "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong was finally announced and spread by the Heavenly Spirit Alliance.

As expected, the news caused a huge sensation as soon as it came out.

This is the first time that a demonic cultivator listed among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons" has been killed by a cultivator of the same level from the Heavenly Spirit Alliance. This news has greatly boosted the morale of the middle and lower-level cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance.

Previously, the "Seven Demons of the Primordial Demons" committed murder and evil everywhere, and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators lost their lives at their hands. As a result, many low- and mid-level cultivators would turn pale at the mere mention of these people.

On the battlefield, the mere sight of the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon" would intimidate many cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion before the battle even began, causing them to lose their courage.

Now that they heard the news that Zhou Chun had killed "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong, a demon among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons," those cultivators who had been traumatized by the killing were undoubtedly liberated.

So it turns out that the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demon" are not invincible after all!

Once this idea came to them, their fear lessened.

On the Yuanmo Legion's side, although the Corpse Demon Cult had already learned of Jiang Zhong's death through his extinguished "Life Soul Lamp," they did not announce it immediately but instead sent people to investigate the cause of death.

At this point, their investigation had not yet yielded results, but the Heavenly Spirit Alliance had already announced their findings, which undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to their morale.

However, the reactions from all sides on the demonic path were almost identical: they resolutely refused to acknowledge or believe that Jiang Zhong was killed by Zhou Chun, an unknown mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator. They only believed that Jiang Zhong had gone deep behind enemy lines and encountered a Golden Core cultivator who was chasing him, and that Zhou Chun might have ended up picking up the pieces!

As long as they don't admit it, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance can say whatever they want!

Regardless of the circumstances, with the release of this news, Zhou Chun has undoubtedly become the center of controversy.

Countless powerful figures and influential individuals began to take notice of his origins and gather intelligence on him and the Zhou family.

Meanwhile, Qingweizi was also very efficient, and quickly helped him retrieve the rewards he had obtained for killing "Jiang Zhong" and other demons.

"This is the Core Formation Elixir you requested, the Yin-Yang Fusion Elixir. It's remarkably effective in Core Formation, and can be considered one of the best Core Formation Elixir items!"

"As for this [Mysterious Heart Purple Rejuvenation Pill], I think its effects need no further introduction from me."

Inside the main hall of Qinglian Temple, facing Zhou Chun who had come to receive his reward, Qingweizi didn't hesitate at all. She simply tossed two jade bottles containing pills to him.

Zhou Chun hurriedly took the two jade bottles, and then thanked them repeatedly with a joyful expression: "Thank you for your care, Master. I am deeply grateful."

Qingweizi ignored his thanks, staring intently at him as she asked, "Now that the news of your killing Jiang Zhong has been announced, you should seize this opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill enemies and eliminate demons, establish merit and fame, and lay a solid foundation for your reputation. Are you ready?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, disciple is ready and can go to the battlefield to represent the sect at any time!"

This answer clearly pleased Qingweizi greatly, and she immediately nodded and exclaimed, "Very good! Then I will now impart to you the next two levels of the 'Heart Lotus True Method.' If you can cultivate this method to the third level, even the soul-searching techniques of Golden Core cultivators will find it difficult to work on you!"

"This disciple thanks Master."

Zhou Chun was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to receive Qing Weizi's teachings.

The Heart Lotus True Method can be said to be one of the core secret techniques of the Green Lotus Temple. Although this secret technique cannot help people kill enemies, it is a first-class technique for calming the mind and focusing the spirit.

If this technique is cultivated to a high level, most illusionary arts in the cultivation world will become ineffective against the cultivator. It can even provide a defensive effect when encountering a divine sense attack technique like the "God-Slaying Technique," and can also resist the soul-searching techniques of Golden Core cultivators or even Nascent Soul cultivators.

It can be said that every cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage of Qinglian Temple knows this method, and everyone practices it.

When Zhou Chun agreed to go undercover in the Hualong Sect, he had already successfully cultivated the first level of the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method". After many years of cultivation, he had long since reached the perfect level, but he was unable to make any further progress due to the lack of subsequent methods.

Now that he has received the subsequent teachings from Qingweizi, he successfully cultivated to the second level in just three days.

After successfully cultivating the second level of the "Heart Lotus True Method," Zhou Chun's soul underwent some changes.

The clothing on the body of the divine soul residing in the Purple Mansion suddenly transformed into a golden lotus Daoist robe, emanating a profound aura that protected his divine soul.

Furthermore, if he were to activate the secret technique at this moment, his mind would immediately enter a state that was neither empty nor empty, unmoved by any external things.

Although he hadn't tried it, according to Qing Weizi, once the second level of the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" was mastered, the ordinary methods of the Purple Mansion stage cultivators from the Demonic Path Enchanting Valley would no longer be effective against him.

After Zhou Chun mastered the second level of the "Heart Lotus Righteous Method," Qing Weizi urged him to hurry to the battlefield.

After all, the momentum has been built up to the point that if Zhou Chunruo doesn't seize the opportunity to kill enemies and eliminate demons and establish merit, people will definitely doubt the authenticity of his killing of Jiang Zhong, which will be very detrimental to his subsequent competition for the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirit".

He was already more than a decade behind others, and now he had to seize this opportunity to overtake them.

Zhou Chun did not refuse, but asked to return to his family first to put the Core Formation spiritual items and the auxiliary spiritual items for opening the Purple Mansion back into the family.

Qingweizi agreed to this and even arranged for Qinglingzi to escort him to the Zhou family.

And so, after returning to Tuyunling, Zhou Chun went to the front line of Fengguo with Lin Hongyu!

As for the magical artifacts that he asked Zhu Wuyai to repair, once they are fully repaired, Qingweizi will arrange for them to be delivered to him.

It's true what they say, having someone to rely on is a good thing!

According to the rules, Zhou Chun was supposed to undergo training with other cultivators before heading to the Feng Kingdom battlefield.

It's called training, but in reality it's about putting them in a good position, making these people who are used to being bossed around in their own families and sects adapt to a life of being disciplined and directed.

However, Zhou Chun now has a great reputation and is personally recommended by the head of Qinglian Temple.

Therefore, upon arriving in Fengguo, he was assigned to an elite battalion and became the commander of a full-strength 500-man brigade.

In fact, given Zhou Chun's cultivation level, he was simply not qualified to be the commander of such a 500-man brigade.

After all, his brigade has two deputy commanders, and one of them, who is at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, was the original commander.

However, he took office with the reputation of killing "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong. In the eyes of the high-level cultivators, he still had enough strength and merit to serve as the leader.

After all, several of the "Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirits" are now deputy commanders at the battalion level. Judging solely by their cultivation level, they are simply not qualified to sit in such positions.

However, this is only the perspective of high-level cultivators.

In Zhou Chun's brigade, especially among the cultivator who was demoted from commander to deputy commander because of his parachuted appointment, there was a great deal of resentment towards him.

This person's thoughts are similar to those of those demonic cultivators. Zhou Chun was able to kill "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong, which was definitely not done by his own strength!

So when Zhou Chun took office, this person was the first to jump out and try to sabotage him.

After the Golden Core cultivator who led Zhou Chun to his post left, the deputy commander named Yue Feng immediately addressed Zhou Chun in front of the hundreds of soldiers gathered on the training ground, saying, "These past few days, the news of Fellow Daoist Zhou slaying 'Corpse Fiend General' Jiang Zhong has been widely circulated, with all sorts of exaggerated and bizarre accounts. It's truly confusing, and we don't know which one to believe!"

At this point, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Zhou has also arrived at the front lines and has been parachuted into our brigade as commander. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhou could personally recount what happened back then, so that we can have an understanding of Fellow Daoist Zhou's supernatural abilities!"

Without waiting for Zhou Chun's response, he turned to the soldiers below and said, "Fellow Daoists, comrades, don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, Commander Yue is right. Everyone wants to hear about your heroic deeds!"

"That's right, that's right! Commander, please satisfy everyone's curiosity and tell us!"

"Your subordinate would also like to hear about your heroic deeds, Commander!"

Immediately, some of Yue Feng's confidants began to chime in, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the soldiers of the Heavenly Spirit Legion were all seasoned veterans of the cultivation world, not the hot-blooded young men.

Even if they doubted the authenticity of Zhou Chun's achievements, no one would be foolish enough to act as a scapegoat for someone who had no conflict of interest with Zhou Chun at this time.

Therefore, apart from a few trusted confidants whom Yue Feng had arranged in advance making a fuss, even the other deputy commander, Cheng Zhiming, who was at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, remained silent and watched from the sidelines, showing no intention of speaking.

This situation made Yue Feng feel somewhat embarrassed.

In fact, if he had been given more time to work things out, given the prestige he had built up, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Unfortunately, he only received the news yesterday, and the news caused him great psychological distress, so he was not in the mood to organize such a connection.

It was only after learning today that Zhou Chun was going to take office that he reluctantly contacted a few trusted confidants and pulled this stunt.

If he had been in the army before, with his hundreds of years of cultivation, he certainly wouldn't have acted so irrationally.

Having served in the military for over a decade, he had grown accustomed to issuing orders to other cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage and to the feeling of wielding great power over a team.

Now he suddenly learns that his position has been parachuted in and replaced by Zhou Chun, a junior with a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivation, and that he has to be relegated to a subordinate position.

This blow made it difficult for him to act rationally.

After all, he was a disciple of a prestigious sect, and his background was even better than Zhou Chun's. He had not made any major mistakes before, so why should Zhou Chun take his place as soon as he arrived and demote him to the position of deputy?

Now that the words had been spoken and the deed done, even though the scene was extremely awkward and he couldn't help but feel regret, Yue Feng could only grit his teeth and continue on.

Therefore, seeing that Zhou Chun had not spoken, he looked at Zhou Chun again and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you see, since the brothers all agree, you can't go against everyone's wishes, can you?"

"Really? Do you all think the same way as Vice Commander Yue?"

Zhou Chun finally spoke, but not to Yue Feng. Instead, he looked at the silent soldiers and emphasized the words "Deputy Commander".

Upon hearing his words, Yue Feng's expression immediately darkened, and he also turned his gaze to the soldiers, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, it was unclear who he was targeting.

Zhou Chun's question was met with silence.

It's as if all these soldiers have suddenly become mute!

Seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded slightly without changing his expression and said, "Very well, since that's the case, let Vice Commander Yue personally come up on stage and spar with me, so that I can personally tell you how I killed Jiang Zhong!"

He then beckoned to Yue Feng, who appeared to be a middle-aged man, and said, "Vice Commander Yue, please!"

His response was far beyond Yue Feng's expectations.

They were stunned for a moment.

After scrutinizing Zhou Chun for a while with his expression shifting, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then I, Yue, will experience Fellow Daoist Zhou's superior skills!"

Then he flew with Zhou Chun to the arena in the garrison, which was usually used for soldiers to fight and compete.

Seeing this, the soldiers who had been silent before suddenly perked up and rushed over to watch a spectacular duel.

Zhou Chun waited until all the soldiers had arrived outside before calmly looking at Yue Feng and asking, "Vice Commander Yue, are you ready?"

"Come on, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Yue Feng replied in a deep voice, then patted the storage bag at his waist, summoning a crimson-gold spear and a fiery red shield.

Both of these magical artifacts are top-grade third-tier artifacts. Combined with his late-stage Purple Mansion cultivation, his strength is not considered weak among those in the late-stage Purple Mansion realm.

At the same time, Zhou Chun raised his hand and patted his storage bag and spirit beast bag, directly releasing the Thunder Python Bai Bai and Shi Tou, and summoning the "Golden Rainbow Sword" and the [Mysterious Gang Pearl].

"Two third-tier demonic beasts!"

Upon seeing Bai Bai and Shi Tou suddenly appear on the arena, Yue Feng's expression immediately changed, revealing a look of shock.

The details of how Zhou Chun killed "Corpse Fiend General" Jiang Zhong could not be made public on a large scale. Many of the various versions of the legend were even deliberately spread by Qing Wei Zi.

Therefore, if Yue Feng had known earlier that Zhou Chun possessed two third-tier demonic beast spirit pets, he would never have rashly and impulsively agreed to compete with Zhou Chun.

Unfortunately, there's no going back now.

After being summoned by Zhou Chun, Lei Mang Bai Bai and Shi Tou immediately launched an attack.

But then, a flash of lightning appeared on the single horn on Bai Bai's head, and a thick bolt of silver lightning shot out, striking Yue Feng directly opposite him.

Fortunately, he had already summoned a defensive artifact. At this moment, a burst of crimson light surged from the fiery red shield, instantly forming a shield that protected him and blocked the lightning attack.

This immediately brought him back to his senses. He quickly suppressed his shock and shouted, urging the crimson-gold spear to fly towards Zhou Chun.

The spear pierced the air, crimson flames erupting from its tip and shaft, flying towards Zhou Chun like a fiery meteor, its speed almost as fast as lightning!

However, facing the spear that flew towards him like a meteor, Zhou Chun neither dodged nor evaded, nor did he activate his magic weapon to defend himself. Instead, he formed hand seals and urged the "Golden Rainbow Sword" to unleash the "Golden Rainbow Line" divine power, transforming it into a golden line that flew towards Yue Feng.

How dare he be so presumptuous!

The thought had barely crossed Yue Feng's mind when he saw the stone beside Zhou Chun suddenly open its mouth and spit out a golden light that instantly swiped at the flying spear.

In an instant, Yue Feng felt a tightness in his mind. His mental connection with the magical weapon "Flying Fire Meteor Spear" was severed by more than half, and he almost lost control of the weapon!

Suddenly, the spearhead turned and pierced the ground not far from Zhou Chun, disappearing into the ground for an unknown distance.

Zhou Chun's flying sword struck Yue Feng's fiery red shield, shattering it into pieces before colliding with the shield itself.

The result of the collision was that the "Golden Rainbow Sword" was sent flying, after all, Zhou Chun's cultivation level was still one small realm lower than Yue Feng's.

But before Yue Feng could regroup his defenses and regain control of the "Flying Fire Meteor Spear," a strong sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him.

His eyes involuntarily turned toward the source of the sense of danger, and he saw lightning gathering on the single horn on the white head of the Thunder Python, as if it was preparing some powerful divine power.

not good!

Startled, he forgot about the "Flying Fire Meteor Spear" and hurriedly focused on channeling his magic power into the fiery red shield, causing it to generate another shield to protect him.

Still feeling unsafe, he hurriedly channeled his magic power, conjuring a suit of fire armor around his body.

Just as he finished doing all that, a powerful silver lightning blade suddenly burst forth from the top of the Thunder Python's head and landed on the shield in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Instantly, silver lightning and crimson fire collided and flashed, forming a powerful shockwave that spread outwards.

Fortunately, the arena itself was protected by an array to prevent injury to the spectators; otherwise, those cultivators with low cultivation levels would definitely have been caught in the crossfire.

The results of the collision between lightning and fire were quickly revealed.

Yue Feng was blasted dozens of feet away during the collision. Not only was his fiery red shield magic weapon knocked to the ground, but his flame armor was also covered in cracks and quickly crumbled in everyone's eyes.

Immediately, a look of pain flashed across his face. In the end, he was unable to suppress the injuries in his body, and a trickle of bright red blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.

Most importantly, Zhou Chun's "Golden Rainbow Sword" was hovering and flying above his head at this moment, and the white figure of the Thunder Python also appeared several feet away from him.

Even a Qi Refining stage cultivator would understand what this situation signifies!

Therefore, Zhou Chun quickly appeared, standing with his hands behind his back, riding on a golden tortoise, and calmly said to Yue Feng, "How is it? Does Vice Commander Yue now have a good understanding of my supernatural abilities? Would you like me to demonstrate a few more tricks for you?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng's face immediately turned red, whether from the flare-up of his injuries or from shame, it was unclear.

But the victor is king, and the loser is villain. He has cultivated to this level, so he shouldn't continue to throw a tantrum under these circumstances.

After a brief change in expression, he immediately landed on the ground, bowed deeply to Zhou Chun, and said, "Commander, your abilities are truly remarkable. I am completely convinced. Please forgive my previous offense!"

The change in how he addressed Zhou Chun showed that he had been thoroughly defeated by Zhou Chun and had wisely admitted his mistake in public.

In this situation, Zhou Chun didn't want to give his newly recruited subordinates the impression that he was vindictive, so he could only go along with it and show his magnanimous side.

Sure enough, Zhou Chun gave Yue Feng a deep look, then landed in front of him with a smile, personally helping him up and saying, "Vice Commander Yue, you're too kind. I was suddenly parachuted in and took your position, so it's only natural that you might feel resentful. As long as this resentment doesn't violate military regulations or affect team unity, I, the commander, will naturally not blame you for it!"

Upon hearing his words, Yue Feng was instantly alarmed and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Your subordinate wouldn't dare! The Heavenly Spirit Legion's military rule is that the capable rise and the weak fall. Commander, you are incredibly capable. It is my honor to serve under you, and I would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts!"

"Haha, that's good. With Vice Commander Yue's words, I can rest assured."

Zhou Chun chuckled, then turned to another deputy commander, Cheng Zhiming, with a half-smile and asked, "Deputy Commander Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Zhiming, who had a thick beard and short hair and came from a mid-level sect, was startled by his words and quickly bowed in response, saying, "Vice Commander Yue is right. I, too, will follow Commander's lead and obey all your orders!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent! Excellent! With the assistance of two deputy commanders and the support of these hundreds of brothers, I believe that we will definitely be able to kill enemies and eliminate demons on the battlefield and accomplish great things!"

"Yes, we are willing to follow our commander to the death!"

Yue Feng hurriedly took the lead in expressing his loyalty and shouted slogans.

Seeing that even this troublemaker had become so submissive, Cheng Zhiming and the other soldiers dared not have any other thoughts and hurriedly shouted, "We are willing to follow our commander to the death!"

"This Zhou Zhengchun is indeed quite capable; no wonder he was able to kill Jiang Zhong!"

Somewhere outside the military camp, the Golden Core cultivator who escorted Zhou Chun secretly witnessed this scene and nodded in approval.

What day is it today? What am I doing? Ugh!!
