Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Yunzhou, the Yunyue Mountain Range.

After winning the first two matches of the finals, the boost to the morale of the Zhou Family was quite evident.

Having defeated the formidable Yan Family, both the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement Realm cultivators from the Zhou Family became even more confident in the subsequent battles.

Seeing that the Zhou Family could defeat such a strong opponent as the Yan Family without suffering any loss, cultivators from other families felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and experienced the pressure.

This was especially true for the people from the Jiang Family of Lingzhou.

The Jiang Family was also one of the families that had entered the finals, which meant that they would inevitably face the Zhou Family in battle.

But judging from the current situation, their Jiang Family seemed to have little chance of winning against the Zhou Family in either the Foundation Establishment or the Qi Refinement battlegrounds.

This discovery made the expressions of several higher-ups from the Jiang Family as gloomy as water, and they looked rather displeased.

Meanwhile, after the Zhou Family members descended from the stage, they immediately joined the Yan Family members in the resting area to sit and meditate, recovering their mana.

The upcoming battles, one by one, would be fiercer than the previous group matches, and they really had no energy to pay attention to anything else.

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

During these four days, the Zhou Family had to fight an average of three times a day and had already battled against over a dozen families.

However, the results of these battles were not optimistic.

Even though they had won consecutive victories in both the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement fights, only losing twice in the Qi Refinement Venue.

But they did not manage to win a single match in the Purple Mansion Venue!

Among the top thirty families that made it into the finals, even the weakest Purple Mansion cultivator from any family was at least at the mid-stage of their cultivation level. Without exerting his full strength, Zhou Mingde had no chance of winning whatsoever.

On the fifth day, the Zhou Family had a grueling battle against two other families in two matches, and for the third match, they finally came up against the Jiang Family, who they had been paying close attention to.

"Taoist Friend Jiang, I have long heard of your reputation," Zhou Mingde said calmly with a slight squint in his eyes, gazing at the two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Jiang Family across the stage.

Hearing his words, the elder from the Jiang Family with mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivation level coldly retorted, "The Zhou Family is quite capable, no wonder you dared to be so rampant back then!"

"Speaking of being rampant, our Zhou Family would not dare to compare with the Jiang Family. Such acts of killing for treasure, no cultivators from the Zhou Family would dare to commit!" Zhou Mingde replied, with a cold smile on his face and a tone that was not at all weaker than his opponent's.

Overhearing this exchange, many spectators were taken aback, not expecting that the two families seemed to have a grudge against each other.

Then, many cultivators who loved to watch the fun and did not mind an escalated situation suddenly became more interested.

"Interesting, from their conversation, it seems like these two families have some kind of grudge? But aren't one in Lanzhou and the other in Lingzhou?" one spectator remarked.

"I remember now, the Jiang Family had an Alchemy Master named Jiang Shixian who suddenly disappeared a few years ago. The Jiang Family declared he was on a long journey. Could it be that he actually met his demise at the hands of the Zhou Family?" another spectator mused.

"Intriguing, two feuding families encountering each other at this grand event. Even just for the sake of argument, they'll surely go all out, revealing all their hidden cards!"

Every spectator had their eyes wide open, looking towards the stage in anticipation of an exciting show.

Although previous battles were fierce, watching them for a long time could become boring, making one feel as if something was missing.

Now they understood what was missing all this time – it was blood!

What's the difference between a bloodless fight and children playing house?

As spectators, they now only wanted to see blood flow like rivers!

Especially those Loose Cultivators who had come specifically to watch the battles, since they had no intention of participating themselves, they were even more eager to see the competing families lose their minds in combat and end up with a bloody outcome.

For them, there was nothing more joyful than watching those Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators, whom they could normally only look up to, bleed and lose their lives.

Watching those Family Cultivators who usually acted high and mighty in front of them bleeding and dying would be as sweet and delightful to them as if their hearts were smeared with honey.

"So the Jiang Family also has enmity with the Zhou Family? If that's the case…"

Within the residence of the Zhang Family of Tiantai Mountain, the Clan Leader of Zhang Family, Zhang Kaida, looked at Zhou Mingde who was below the stage preparing the Array Command Token, his eyes flickering as if he had some idea in mind.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend – it was not difficult to understand what Zhang Kaida was thinking at that moment.

But could he truly have his way?

Soon, Zhou Mingde and the two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Jiang Family ascended the stage.

Facing the Zhou Family, an enemy family, the two Purple Mansion cultivators from the Jiang Family really did not talk about martial virtue and were ready to fight two against one.

However, Zhou Mingde gave them no chance, activating the Array Command Token right from the start and withdrawing from the fight.

"Hiss! That's too shameless, at least hold on for three moves before leaving the stage!"

Failing to witness the bloody scene they had hoped for, many audience members expressed their disappointment with a hiss, displeased with Zhou Mingde's shameless action.

But their displeasure had absolutely no effect on Zhou Mingde.

When the life and death of the family weren't at stake, it would be foolish to stubbornly continue fighting knowing you were overpowered.

Zhou Mingde needed to preserve his strength for better performance in the upcoming battles!

"If the Zhou Family had been as sensible as Taoist Friend Zhou early on and handed over the murderer sooner, we might not have had to let you off the hook today!" the early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Jiang Family coldly said to Zhou Mingde after descending from the stage.

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde also responded with an equally cold laugh, "I and the Zhou Family have always been aware of the times; it's just that some people fail to recognize that, always refusing the face that's given to them!"
