However, ordinary meat only satisfies the hunger of Demon Beasts without significantly promoting the increase of their cultivation level.
Therefore, the Zhou Family would also regularly feed the Demon Beasts they raised with some Demon Beast meat every month, or add some Spiritual Medicine to make Spirit Beast Feed to slightly promote their cultivation progress.
In the past, just purchasing this Demon Beast meat would cost the Zhou Family a considerable amount of Spirit Coins each month.
But this Beast Tide had provided the Zhou Family with a large number of Demon Beast corpses.
Zhou Chun arranged for people to transport Demon Beast corpses to the ice storage, and as he watched the space gradually fill up, he couldn't help but think of the Demon Beast corpses buried at Golden Chicken Mountain.
He had planned to arrange for people to collect them after the battle, but now with the Beast Tide ravaging the land, whether those corpses could still be retrieved was uncertain.
"However, it looks like we should expand the ice storage or find a location to build one or two more. After this, the price of Demon Beast corpses should drop significantly; we can't miss this opportunity to stock up!"
Hundreds of Demon Beast corpses were already piled up in the ice storage, and this prompted Zhou Chun to come up with an idea immediately.
Before long, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who had gone out to pursue the fleeing Demon Beasts with their Spirit Pets, returned.
Under the pursuit of these two Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and two third-stage Demon Beasts, all the invading Demon Beasts of the Zhou Family were completely exterminated.
And in this battle, the Zhou Family lost not a single person!
This was undoubtedly a brilliant victory.
So much so that when the Loose Cultivators who participated in the battle learned that the war was over and they could choose to stay or leave, every single one of them chose to stay and continue cultivating or working for the Zhou Family.
The Zhou Family naturally would not refuse their decision.
Although the Zhou Family had no casualties in this battle, the Mountain Protection Array "Five Directions Mirlo Array" was severely damaged during the Beast Tide attack, temporarily losing its protective power, and in urgent need of repair.
Therefore, after Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi returned, Zhou Mingde took the pretext of escorting back the corpses and Demon Cores of the four third-stage Demon Beasts, and went to Hongya Marketplace to request assistance from the Green Lotus Temple, to see if he could obtain materials to repair the "Five Directions Mirlo Array" from them.
At the same time, Zhou Chun also arranged for several lower level Zhou Family Cultivators to evacuate the family mortals, having them temporarily relocate from their homes near Jiufeng Ridge.
This time, the Beast Tide had headed straight for the Zhou Family Mountain gate at Jiufeng Ridge without causing any casualties among the mortal members of the Zhou Family.
But if the next Beast Tide advances and reaches the Zhou Family Mountain gate, those mortal family members living not far from Jiufeng Ridge would undoubtedly be affected.
Zhou Chun, as the Vice Clan Leader of the Zhou Family, naturally could not allow this to happen.
Two days later, Zhou Mingde successfully returned to the Zhou Family with materials to repair the "Five Directions Mirlo Array." Meanwhile, Zhou Chongshan also did not care for his own injuries and devoted himself day and night to the repair work of the Array.
On the other hand, after the Beast Groups attacking the Zhou Family vanished without a trace, the Red Dragon Hall Master appeared to have ceased other actions; even the advance of the Beast Tide's main force had slowed down, progressing less than three hundred miles in two days.
However, the development of the situation took an unexpected turn once again for Zhou Chun and the others.
One day, a directive from the Green Lotus Temple left several high-ranking members of the Zhou Family stunned.
The content of the order was simple, commanding the two Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and three Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Zhou Family to immediately head out and participate in the eradication of the rampaging Demon Beasts within Lanzhou's borders.
The reason for this order was equally straightforward: all the third-stage and fourth-stage Demon Beasts had fled Lanzhou, leaving only the first and second-stage Demon Beasts to spread havoc across the territory without the restraint of higher-tier beasts.
The cause for the escape of the third-stage and fourth-stage Demon Beasts from Lanzhou was due to the changes on the frontline in Yunzhou.
Upon learning that the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan had unexpectedly deployed significant forces to Lanzhou, the authorities of the three major sects in Yunzhou made a bold move.
They secretly contacted the Corpse Demon Sect of Fengguo. Suddenly all the Golden Core Stage and Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators launched an assault from their strongholds, engaging in a massive brawl with the third and fourth-stage Demon Beasts within the Beast Tide.
With the support of sixteen fourth-stage Corpse Refined beasts and four Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Corpse Demon Sect, the Human Clan Allied Forces emerged victorious from this massive battle.
The specific details of casualties on both sides were unknown to the Cultivator who brought the orders to the Zhou Family; they only knew that after the battle, the Beast Tide on the Yunzhou frontline had been significantly thwarted and seemed incapable of further combat.
Thus, the picture was clear. The third and fourth-stage Demon Beasts in Lanzhou had suddenly abandoned the Beast Groups and fled because they had received news.
After all, with the main forces of the Beast Tide in Yunzhou facing defeat, the Human Clan Allied Forces would only need to dispatch a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators to overwhelm them.
At that point, if they did not run, it would be difficult to escape later.
After learning the internal situation, the Zhou Family members naturally could no longer decline the order from the Green Lotus Temple.
So Zhou Mingde immediately led Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiapeng, and Zhou Jiahe away from the family mountain gate to purge the rampaging Demon Beasts scattered around.
However, not long after the group left the Zhou Family Mountain gate, a Communication Talisman suddenly delivered a message that Zhou Mingde caught in his hand.
He beckoned the firelight message created by the Thousand Mile Transmission Talisman and after reading the contents, his expression drastically changed.
