Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 536 - 280: Heading to the Yang Kingdom, Fierce Insect Plague [Subscribe Requested]_2

After some deliberation and consulting with Zhou Jiawei himself, the Zhou Family decided on the delegates who would travel to Yang Kingdom.

The team would be led by Zhou Mingde, accompanied by Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiapeng, Zhou Jiawei, and Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing was one of the younger members of the Zhou Family with the "Zheng" generation name. Only twenty-seven years old, he was in the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and his father was a cultivator of the Zhou Family’s "Jia" generation.

He was the successor Zhou Jiawei had been grooming and also Zhou Jiawei’s capable assistant.

Once the team members were confirmed, they set off immediately for the Green Lotus Temple to catch a ride to Yang Kingdom.

Master Qingwei did not oppose the Zhou Family’s solo action and agreed to their plan to hitch a ride with the Green Lotus Temple.

The Green Lotus Temple had also sent a luxurious team in response to the Humanity Aid Edict issued by Yang Kingdom.

The team was led by two Golden Core Stage cultivators, including six Purple Mansion Phase cultivators and thirty-six Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

To Zhou Chun’s surprise, Liu Shiyun was among those thirty-six people.

Ever since he realized that Liu Shiyun had taken an interest in him and had begun to purposefully diminish their interactions, the contact between the two had gradually lessened.

Especially after Liu Qingshan learned that Su Yuzhen had moved into his courtyard, Liu Shiyun had not sent him any private letters again.

However, Liu Shiyun had continued to accept the Spirit Honey, Spiritual Tea, and other items that Zhou Chun had sent through others, indicating they hadn’t entirely ceased to be friends.

When it was time to set out, Zhou Chun hesitated briefly before he decided to take the initiative to greet her.

But faced with his greetings, Liu Shiyun’s response was rather cold.

After having his friendly overtures met with a cold shoulder, Zhou Chun knew better than to say anything more.

Under the guidance of the two Golden Core Stage cultivators, they flew for nearly two days before finally arriving at the border of Yang Kingdom.

Yang Kingdom was situated in a unique location with a third of its territory consisting of snow-capped mountains and high plateaus. The country was more mountainous than flat, with a population far less than that of Jingguo Country.

Nonetheless, the cultivation strength of Yang Kingdom far surpassed that of Jingguo Country.

This was mainly because there were many Spirit Mountains and Spirit Lands within Yang Kingdom, and it was rich in Spirit Ore resources.

The abundance of these resources naturally attracted many powerful cultivators to establish sects and residences in the area.

Before the insect calamity, Yang Kingdom was counted among the strongest nations in its vicinity, with some sects even recruiting disciples within neighboring countries’ borders.

But the sudden outbreak of the insect calamity inflicted a severe blow to the cultivation world of Yang Kingdom. Many small and medium-sized forces were wiped out, and even some large forces suffered heavy losses, having to abandon their sect residences.

Now, the essence of Yang Kingdom’s cultivation world was concentrated in the snow-capped mountains and high plateau regions.

It was said that the icy and snowy environment was inhospitable to the lower-tier demon insects, which is why this territory has been temporarily preserved.

As a result, the direction of the insect calamity’s invasion began to shift toward the countries surrounding Yang Kingdom.

Now the ones most eager to eliminate the insect calamity were the countries bordering Yang Kingdom.

Upon arriving at Yang Kingdom’s border with the people from the Green Lotus Temple, Zhou Chun and the others separated from them.

For the five members of the Zhou Family, directly entering Yang Kingdom, which was overrun with the insect calamity, would undoubtedly be risky.

Their intent was to temporarily stay outside Yang Kingdom, trying to gather as much information about the insect calamity as possible and capture some living low-tier demon insects for research.

The place where the Zhou Family could stay was Dayun Nation, situated to the southeast of Yang Kingdom. This country’s strength was weaker, even less than that of Jingguo Country.

At this time, in order to defend their territories, various sects and families of Dayun Nation dispatched most of their forces to the border area to set up camps and continuously sent people across the border into Yang Kingdom to exterminate the demon insects.

Before finding a large-scale method to destroy the demon insects, cultivators could only use this most primitive method to reduce the power of the insect calamity.

Although primitive, this method was indeed effective.

Thanks to the relentless extermination efforts of many cultivators day and night, the expansion of the insect calamity was somewhat curbed, preventing it from spreading out of Yang Kingdom too quickly.

Otherwise, if the insect calamity were allowed to spread unchecked in all directions across various countries, it might lead to a major disaster on the scale of a "Spirit-devouring Locust Calamity."

After separating from the Green Lotus Temple’s group, the Zhou Family searched for information and headed towards the marketplace of nearby Dayun Nation.

During this time, all forces of Dayun Nation were unprecedentedly united, with all marketplaces and strongholds conditionally offering free access to cultivators willing to exterminate the demon insects.

By turning in the body of a first-grade, low-tier demon insect, one could freely cultivate for two hours.

Moreover, this free cultivation time could be accumulated, meaning even if the insect calamity were eradicated, the cultivation time earned in this way could still be used.

Because of this, despite knowing the severity of the insect calamity, the majority of Dayun Nation’s loose cultivators stayed behind to defend their country, striving to go into Yang Kingdom’s territory to eliminate the demon insects.

When the marketplace guards learned that the five Zhou Family members had specially come from Jingguo Country to assist Dayun Nation, they were very welcoming. They not only helped them contact a place for rest but were also willing to provide information about the insect calamity free of charge.
