Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1232 - 519: The Foundation of a Great Sect [Please Subscribe]_3

"It’s good that you understand. I still have high hopes for you and the Zhou Family."

Baiyue True Person nodded in satisfaction. After a continued discussion with Zhou Chun about a few matters, he allowed Zhou Chun to leave.

The next day, the people from the Green Lotus Temple arrived at the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate.

The Green Lotus Temple delegation consisted of seven individuals in total—apart from one Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator, the remaining six were Golden Core Elders.

Among them, Taoist Yiyang and Master Qingwei were Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators, while the other four were Golden Core Early Stage cultivators.

Very soon, Zhou Chun learned the identities of the three Green Lotus Temple cultivators participating in the gamble fight.

Two of the Golden Core cultivators were known by their Taoist titles, Master Yanling and Master Xuanshuang, while the Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator was named Taoist Hongyang.

The Zhou Family had already gathered information on the two Golden Core cultivators. Master Yanling had formed his core over 300 years ago, while Master Xuanshuang’s core formation was over 200 years ago. The former practiced a fire element cultivation technique, while the latter specialized in ice element techniques. It appeared they planned to use targeted strategies against Lin Hongyu and Zhou Chun.

As for Taoist Hongyang, the Zhou Family’s collected information indicated that he was a descendant of a now-deceased Golden Core Stage cultivator from the Green Lotus Temple, and there was a significant possibility he possessed a pseudo Dharma Treasure!

In summary, none of the three looked like easy opponents!

At this point, the people from both sides, led by Moon Wheel Sect cultivators, gathered at a remote wilderness near the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate.

Baiyue True Person, the sect leader of the Moon Wheel Sect, along with Wei Yong and seven or eight other Golden Core Elders of the Moon Wheel Sect, was already waiting at the location.

When both sides arrived, Baiyue True Person immediately addressed them in a solemn tone: "Since both sides trust our sect and are willing to let me serve as the witness for this gamble fight, I will now lay out the rules for this event."

"First, when one side concedes, the other must cease their attacks immediately. Anyone who violates this will be declared the loser."

"Second, all of you are pivotal talents of Jingguo Country, having made great contributions during the previous war between immortals and demons. Therefore, I hope both sides will exercise restraint during the match and avoid lethal strikes."

"Third, once the gamble fight concludes, everything must be carried out according to the outcome. The losers are prohibited from retaliating against the winners under any excuse. Violators will be severely punished by our sect!"

These three rules had already been communicated to both sides beforehand but were reiterated now as a warning.

Immediately after, Zhou Chun and Taoist Yiyang, the leaders of their respective sides, expressed their agreement.

Witnessing this, Baiyue True Person nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well. Since both sides are in agreement, let the first match between Purple Mansion Phase cultivators begin now!"

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Daoyi and Taoist Hongyang exchanged a glance and promptly flew away from their groups, standing thousands of feet apart and facing each other.

Zhou Daoyi wasted no time. Before Baiyue True Person could announce the start of the match, he summoned the Green Flood Dragon.

However, what caught the Zhou Family off guard was that Taoist Hongyang also patted the Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, instantly releasing a Third Order Demon Beast—a mid-tier Third Order Demon Beast known as the Goldflame Lion!

"What’s going on? Where did this Goldflame Lion come from? Could it be a legacy Spirit Beast left behind by a former Green Lotus Temple cultivator?"

Zhou Chun’s expression changed subtly as he stared at the crimson-gold fire lion with a face full of confusion, his heart sinking.

The Goldflame Lion itself was categorized as an Exotic Demon Beast; its actual combat power wouldn’t be inferior to his Golden Winged Tiger. It seemed capable of holding its own against the Green Flood Dragon without much trouble.

And if the Green Flood Dragon’s assistance were removed, Zhou Daoyi would most likely be no match for Taoist Hongyang!

Realizing this, Zhou Chun immediately bowed toward Baiyue True Person and said, "Senior Baiyue, Green Lotus Temple is cheating! This Goldflame Lion is clearly not Taoist Hongyang’s Contract Spirit Beast. How can Green Lotus Temple allow this beast to fight alongside him?"

Before Baiyue True Person could respond, Taoist Yiyang on the other side chuckled confidently and said, "Who says the Goldflame Lion isn’t Hongyang’s Contract Spirit Beast? Zhou Daoist Friend, for someone from the Zhou Family, which is renowned for Beast Taming Technique across Jingguo Country, is it possible your reputation is overstated and undeserved?"

Hearing his assured tone, Zhou Chun’s expression changed noticeably.

Then, Baiyue True Person gently nodded and said, "Taoist Yiyang’s words are unnecessary. This Goldflame Lion has indeed signed a contract with young Hongyang; it can now be considered his Spirit Pet."

"See? Baiyue Sect Leader’s golden words carry unquestionable truth, or do you dare to doubt them?"

Taoist Yiyang cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Chun and spoke in a tone drenched with mockery, "Don’t think that your Zhou Family, by sheer luck, managed to nurture a few Third Order Demon Beasts, can truly claim to be unmatched in the Beast Taming domain within Jingguo Country. The true foundation of major sects is not something your small family can compare to!"

For a moment, Zhou Chun was speechless, his heart filled with regret and resentment!

The Zhou Family had considered numerous possibilities beforehand—such as the likelihood of Taoist Hongyang possessing a pseudo Dharma Treasure or Fourth Grade Talisman.

But when it came to Third Order Demon Beasts, they had indeed failed to anticipate this.

After all, only they themselves knew how challenging it was to cultivate a Third Order Demon Beast.

Yet who could have expected that the Green Lotus Temple would go so far as to enable a legacy Spirit Beast left behind by a predecessor to establish a new bond with Taoist Hongyang!

Normally, such legacy Spirit Beasts were virtually incapable of forming another contract.
