Chapter 609: Moon Wheel Sect's Foundation
He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. The spoils of war will first be collected by the family. The wounded must be treated with the best methods without hesitation, and the fallen must have their information recorded. If there are close relatives among the disciples, the related compensation must be delivered to them after the battle!"
"As for those who have achieved merits, they can be given Magic Artifacts and Talismans as rewards initially, and further rewards will be given after the war!"
Rewarding those who achieve merits is Zhou Chun's consistent family management policy.
In warfare, this practice is even more effective in boosting morale.
Most Cultivators are extremely ambitious people. As long as they can receive considerable rewards for slaying Demon Beasts, their morale will remain high.
Especially since the previous battles have shown them that the Beast Tide is not as terrifying as they imagined.
As long as the Mountain Protection Array at Tuyun Ridge remains intact, they can easily hunt large numbers of Demon Beasts.
"Junior understands. Junior will personally ensure that this matter is handled well!"
Zhou Xinyan looked at Zhou Chun with full respect and admiration, then immediately withdrew to handle the task.
Zhou Chun did not yet know how much shock he had brought to the Zhou Family juniors on Tuyun Ridge by directly slaying three Fourth Order Magical Beasts in this battle.
It has been over a hundred years since the war between immortals and demons, and many young Cultivators have only heard of his legends and do not have as deep an impression of those legendary events as those who experienced them.
Thus, although they retain a sense of awe towards high-level Cultivators in their hearts, they inevitably develop a notion that the rumors are somewhat exaggerated.
After all, everyone is human, so why can you slay freely within the same stage?
However, this time they personally participated in the battle and later witnessed Zhou Chun leading his Spirit Pet to besiege and kill two Fourth-Grade Low-Level Monster Beasts.
The legendary stories reflecting reality naturally made them feel intense reverence and admiration for Zhou Chun, the legendary figure of the family.
Even a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator like Zhou Xinyan was no exception.
In the two days that followed, the beast horde outside Tuyun Ridge essentially remained idle, not continuing to send themselves to die by launching attacks on the Zhou Family.
But Zhou Chun noticed that a Fourth Order Magical Beast had left the area, clearly to report to the Fifth Order Demon King commanding the Beast Tide behind the scenes.
At this time, news about reinforcement reaching Jingguo Country was also conveyed to the Zhou Family by the Moon Wheel Sect.
After learning of this, Zhou Chun not only did not feel happy but instead his expression became extremely serious.
Because he understood well that with the arrival of reinforcements, the war would become the most difficult.
The Flood Dragon Clan has been planning this Great Beast Tide for over a hundred years and would certainly not end it so inconclusively.
This is evident from the fact that, up till now, not a single Fourth-Order Jiaolong has appeared.
And the development of events seemed to confirm Zhou Chun's thoughts.
Just after he received the news of reinforcements arriving, Green Lotus Temple suddenly couldn't withstand the attack anymore.
Originally, only three Fifth Order Demon Kings were attacking Green Lotus Temple, but with the arrival of reinforcements, two more Demon Kings appeared, along with more than ten Fourth Order Magical Beasts!
Under the fierce attacks of these powerful figures, Green Lotus Temple's Mountain Protection Array immediately showed signs of strain, forcing them to abandon a large area and concentrate the formation's power to defend a core area less than a hundred li in size.
Even so, without reinforcements, Green Lotus Temple would not withstand for half a day!
Thus several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators from the Foreign Country who originally planned to relieve the Moon Wheel Sect's siege first rushed to the Green Lotus Mountain Range to aid Green Lotus Temple.
These five Nascent Soul Stage True Persons initially thought that traveling together would basically prevent any danger.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived outside the Green Lotus Mountain Range, aside from the five Fifth Order Demon Kings surrounding Green Lotus Temple, two more Fifth Order Demon Kings appeared, including a Fifth Order Superior Green Flood Dragon!
The result was that five Nascent Soul Stage True Persons were besieged on the spot, and two fell directly, with another one managing to escape only by leaving their Nascent Soul!
Subsequently, Green Lotus Temple's Mountain Gate Great Array was forcibly broken, and Tianjing True Person similarly had to abandon their flesh body and relied on the Nascent Soul to escape disaster!
The outcome of this battle shocked the whole Jingguo Country!
No one expected that this Beast Tide could bring so many Fifth Order Demon Kings.
Moreover, the ones who fell first were not the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators native to Jingguo Country, but the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators who came to the rescue from another country!
After this battle, it seemed that those Fifth Order Demon Kings no longer planned to hide and directly charged towards the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, intending to wipe out the largest sect in Jingguo Country.
Zhou Chun was able to promptly learn of the destruction of Green Lotus Temple's mountain gate because Jiufeng Ridge of the Zhou Family had not yet been breached by the Beast Tide, and scouts previously stationed within Lianzhou reported the occurrence.
Even so, with messages being relayed layer by layer, by the time he learned of the event, those Demon Kings had already gathered outside the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate.
Counting the original six Demon Kings surrounding the Moon Wheel Sect, at this moment there were as many as thirteen Fifth Order Demon Kings gathered at the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate, including two Fifth Order Superior Flood Dragons!
Such a powerful lineup truly made one tremble upon hearing!
And the three Nascent Soul Stage True Persons and the various Golden Elixir Elders of the Moon Wheel Sect were even more pale-faced, with their hearts sinking into despair.
As the dominant force of a country, the Mountain Protection Array of the Moon Wheel Sect is naturally formidable. Normally, only two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators need to preside over it to resist attacks from ten or eight Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
