Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1270 - 529: Treasure of the Secret Vault, The Abandoned [Seeking Subscription]_3

Perhaps in the eyes of Baiyue True Person, even if the Zhou Family as their vassal is lost, there are still other Golden Core families willing to rely on them.

To offend the Ice Hell Sect, an assassin organization, over a dispensable vassal is utterly impossible!

Feeling deeply disappointed, Zhou Chun replied in a somber tone, "I understand, Senior. I shall not disturb Sect Leader any further!"

With Baiyue True Person’s wisdom, he naturally discerned the disappointment in Zhou Chun’s words.

Yet, he showed no strange expression, waving his sleeve to deliver a Jade Box and a Jade Slip, "Take this Secret Talisman. Before using it, you must refine it according to the spell within the Jade Slip."

"Thank you, Sect Leader True Person, for the treasure. I shall take my leave!"

Zhou Chun courteously thanked, accepted the treasure, and departed.

After Zhou Chun’s departure, Baiyue True Person lowered his head slightly, lost in thought.

Truthfully, he was still willing to protect Zhou Chun, intending to warn the Ice Hell Sect’s assassins not to be reckless in Jingguo Country.

However, his proposal was vetoed by an Ancestor of the Nascent Soul Stage from the Moon Wheel Sect.

The Supreme Elder’s reason for the veto was simple: the Moon Wheel Sect lacked the power to annihilate the Ice Hell Sect, and such assassin sects value their reputation greatly.

If the Moon Wheel Sect directly warned them, they might see it as provocation and retaliate with assassination against the Moon Wheel Sect’s members.

Even if they refrain from targeting the Moon Wheel Sect, they certainly won’t care about the Moon Wheel Sect’s warning and will continue to hunt Zhou Chun.

Should they succeed in their assassination attempt, the Moon Wheel Sect’s reputation would be greatly tarnished!

Therefore, it would be better to ignore it entirely and act as if unaware of the matter.

This may upset the Zhou Family, but on the land of Jingguo Country, what can a Golden Core family do against the Moon Wheel Sect? They have no choice but to continue living under its influence!

Although abandoning Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family might upset some Moon Wheel Sect members, their actions also angered several Nascent Soul Stage True Persons.

After all, in the eyes of those Nascent Soul Stage True Persons, internal conflicts in Jingguo Country are merely national affairs.

But hiring foreign assassins to kill the nation’s Golden Core Stage Cultivators has gone too far!

Based on the promise made to Qingxiao True Person, sheltering Green Lotus Temple for two hundred years, those Nascent Soul Ancestors would ensure Green Lotus Temple paid a heavy price solely for this matter.

"Oh Qingxiao True Person, Qingxiao True Person, these disciples of yours indeed neglected your painstaking efforts!"

"At this rate, once the two-hundred-year protection period ends, Green Lotus Temple may cease to exist entirely."

Baiyue True Person muttered to himself, shaking his head repeatedly at Green Lotus Temple’s self-destructive actions.

Initially, out of respect for Qingxiao True Person’s heroic sacrifice, he felt some pity for Green Lotus Temple, but now their actions suggest that its demise might truly be imminent.

Even if there’s no force to replace them directly, it’s likely that the Nascent Soul Stage Ancestors will dismantle their legacy and consume Qingxiao True Person’s remaining possessions!

As for Zhou Chun, he can only hope that Zhou Chun is fortunate enough that Green Lotus Temple might abandon their successive murder plan, unwilling to pay the reward for hiring Golden Core Late Stage assassins.

After leaving the Moon Wheel Sect, Zhou Chun directly returned to the family’s mountain gate.

Since the Moon Wheel Sect can no longer be relied upon, he must find a way to deal with the assassins from the Ice Hell Sect himself.

Throughout the years, Zhou Chun has weathered many storms and trials; killing him won’t be easy!

Once back at the Tuyun Ridge family mountain gate, Zhou Chun did not conceal the matter about the Ice Hell Sect assassins, honestly informing Zhou Mingde of his recent experiences while away.

As he expected, upon hearing the news, Zhou Mingde’s face immediately changed, his heart shocked and furious.

"How dare they! How dare they do this!"

In an angry voice, Zhou Mingde shouted furiously, his face a mix of shock and rage, "Are they not afraid the Zhou Family might imitate them and hire assassins to kill their disciples as well?"

But both he and Zhou Chun knew this was just talk.

Actually, even if they find a way to contact assassins from the Ice Hell Sect, the Zhou Family simply cannot afford the cost for several assassinations of Golden Core Stage Cultivators, and the other party would likely refuse any commission to assassinate prominent sects like Green Lotus Temple’s cultivators!

As for assassinating some Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators from Green Lotus Temple, it would be hardly useful and would invite similar retaliation, leaving the Zhou Family at a greater disadvantage!

Green Lotus Temple banked on this very fact when daring to hire assassins from the Ice Hell Sect to target Zhou Chun.

After Zhou Mingde vented his anger, Zhou Chun spoke in a deep voice, "We’ll have to remember this grudge for now; there will be opportunities to repay it in the future!"

"For now, the best strategy is to find a way to rid ourselves of those assassins from the Ice Hell Sect, avoiding this calamity."

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Mingde quickly calmed down.

After lowering his head in thought for a while, he abruptly looked up at Zhou Chun, saying, "Why don’t you seek refuge in Great Zhou Kingdom? No matter how powerful the Ice Hell Sect is, they wouldn’t dare to try and assassinate you within Tianyuan Immortal City, right? As long as you go into seclusion there for decades, I doubt they’d wait around forever!"
