Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

The small White Fang Base was swiftly overwhelmed by the attack of over two hundred Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Most of the cultivators inside were killed, with only a handful left alive for interrogation to gather intelligence.

Through the few survivors, it was quickly discovered that after news spread of the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivating Fire Flood Dragons, all three Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from the White Fang Base had gone to question the Hall Master and others at the Black Dragon sub-temple, leaving only a dozen or so Foundation Establishment Cultivators to lead a group of Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators in maintaining the operations of the base.

However, just before Zhou Chun and his army arrived, three more Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the base had run away.

Hence, it was so easily conquered in a single wave.

After understanding this, Taoist Mingjing's brows furrowed deeply.

He pondered for a moment with a frown before addressing the Purple Mansion Cultivators around him, who were either standing or sitting, "The situation at White Fang Base is surely not an isolated case. I fear the other bases likely lack their former full strength as well. Therefore, I've decided to divide our forces. Do any of you have objections?"

Upon hearing his words, a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator immediately replied, "If we are to divide our forces, how does Taoist Friend Mingjing plan to do so? Into how many groups?"

No sooner had this question been asked than another Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator added, "Indeed, we may be numerous, but if we spread ourselves too thin, we'll struggle to quickly overcome any tough strongholds we encounter!"

"Rest assured, even if we divide our forces, we won't spread ourselves too thinly," replied Taoist Mingjing.

He continued in a grave tone, "I plan to divide our forces into four groups, each consisting of eight Purple Mansion Cultivators and forty Foundation Establishment Cultivators. This way, no matter which base we encounter, we will have an overwhelming advantage in numbers!"

"Aside from your group, Taoist Friend Mingjing, who will lead the other three groups?"

A Purple Mansion Cultivator's eyes flashed as he posed a new question.

Hearing this, Taoist Mingjing scanned the group of Purple Mansion Cultivators before him and slowly said, "The other three groups will be led by Taoist Minghe, Taoist Friend Zhao, and Taoist Lv, respectively. Would this be acceptable to everyone?"

The three individuals he mentioned were all notable, with Taoist Minghe from Green Lotus Temple being at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion Phase, while the other two were at the late-stage, and their families were among the top thirty at the last "Hundred Clans Conference."

Upon hearing his arrangement, Cultivators like Zhou Mingde, who were aware that they were not in contention to lead, were indifferent to the decision.

However, a few late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators frowned slightly, seemingly unwilling to be subordinate to others.

Yet with reservations in mind, none of them spoke up in opposition first.

Seeing this, Taoist Mingjing subtly signaled Zhou Mingde and a few other early and mid-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators.

"Zhou will follow all commands issued by Taoist Friend Mingjing!"

"Yu will also listen to all of Taoist Friend Mingjing's commands."

"Chen will obey only the orders of Taoist Friend Mingjing!"

Zhou Mingde and the others immediately responded, expressing their willingness to follow Taoist Mingjing's commands.

This prompted the other Purple Mansion Cultivators who knew they had no chance of leading to also echo in agreement.

And with the majority expressing their support for Taoist Mingjing's plan, the few discontented late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators, despite their discomfort, had no choice but to consent with a displeased expression.

Thereupon, Taoist Mingjing immediately arranged the division of troops on the spot.

Possibly as a return for Zhou Mingde's initiative in speaking up earlier, the Zhou Family was assigned to Taoist Mingjing's group and would not be led by anyone else.

Once the divisions were settled, Taoist Mingjing took out a map of the Wasteland Territory secretly drawn by Green Lotus Temple. He provided duplicate copies of the map to the other three leaders, marking the target bases for their attacks and outlining their tasks after taking down the bases.

Then, leaving behind more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators with insufficient mana at White Fang Base to await the arrival of additional Qi Refinement Realm cultivator teams, the four teams divided their forces and set out towards four other Dragon Transformation Sect bases.

Meanwhile, as Zhou Chun and his group left White Fang Base for their next target, the great battle at the Red Fire Flood Dragon sub-temple had already ignited.

Of all the Dragon Transformation Sect's major sub-temples, the Red Fire Flood Dragon sub-temple's power was second only to that of the Black Dragon sub-temple, which was why it was the target of the Moon Wheel Sect.

At this moment, over four hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Moon Wheel Sect were led by thirty-six Purple Mansion Cultivators to form three of their secret battle formations known as the "Waning Moon Shooting Star Formation."

Using the formation's secret techniques, they linked their mana to unleash massive spiritual power arrows, drawing on the Greater Yin Moon Essence as a catalyst.

Silver-white arrows, each dozens of yards long, tore through the sky like shooting stars, piercing into the Red Fire Flood Dragon sub-temple's Guardian Great Formation with a series of thunderous booms.

The might of those silver-white arrows was so great that even an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator would not dare to face them head-on.

At the same time, fifteen Golden Core Stage Cultivators were positioned around the Red Fire Flood Dragon sub-temple, each deploying their Dharma Treasures and Divine Skills in a relentless assault on the guardian formation.

Facing such a ferocious onslaught, the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators within the sub-temple felt their lives being threatened, with fear and trepidation gripping their hearts.

The Red Fire Flood Dragon sub-temple's strength was certainly not weak; there were three Golden Core Stage Elders, in addition to the Hall Master and two Vice Hall Masters—six Golden Core Stage Cultivators in total. Moreover, they were fortified by a high-grade, tier-four Red Fire Flood Dragon.
