Chapter 255: The war is over and the harvest is counted
Golden dragon sub-altar.
It was only half a day after Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi returned from the pursuit that the Golden Core monks began to return here one after another.
Some golden elixir stage monks were beaming with joy when they returned, obviously having successfully killed powerful enemies.
Some people have gloomy or dull faces, which is probably because they made a mistake.
In this way, almost a day after they came back, Liu Yiping also came back with others.
At that time, Liu Yiping took a late-stage Golden Elixir monk and three mid-stage Golden Elixir monks to chase the leader of the Black Dragon Hall, Di Long, and the fourth-order high-grade black dragon.
But when they came back, there were only Liu Yiping, the late-stage Jindan monk, and a middle-stage Jindan monk, and all three of them were injured.
Later, the two Zhou family members found out that although Liu Yiping and others successfully caught up with Di Long and Heijiao, after a fierce battle, Heijiao had self-destructed his inner elixir when he had no way to escape!
Because the inner elixir of the black dragon self-destructed, a middle-stage golden elixir monk was killed on the spot and another was seriously injured.
The seriously injured man was then beheaded by Di Long, the leader of the Black Dragon Hall.
What is even more regrettable is that in the end, Ti Long escaped from Liu Yiping and others, and his life could not be spared.
In this way, the lives of two middle-stage Jindan monks are exchanged for the life of a fourth-level high-grade dragon. It is difficult to say whether it is a gain or a loss!
Not long after, Taoist Aunt Qingsu also returned with people.
She went to chase the Blood Flame Dragon in Blood Dragon Hall, but she failed. There was no actual gain, and of course no manpower was lost.
Time passed slowly, and most of the Jindan-stage monks who pursued them came back one after another. In the end, only Jin Chixuan's team was left.
This made the two Zhou family members, who had been paying attention to the situation of Jin Chixuan's team, feel very anxious and extremely complicated.
After waiting like this for a long time, almost two days after the Jinlong division was broken, Jin Chixuan finally brought his people back.
He succeeded!
After fighting for more than a day, he successfully killed the seriously injured fourth-level mid-level red fire dragon, and also killed the leader of the Red Dragon Hall.
However, although the gains were great, the losses were not small either.
One of the three middle-stage Golden Core monks he took with him died, and the early-stage Golden Core monk was also seriously injured, including himself and the other two middle-stage Golden Core monks, who also suffered serious injuries.
What is worth mentioning is that the early Jindan monk who suffered severe injuries was none other than Yu Jinghua who betrayed the Zhou family!
Therefore, when the Zhou family learned about the gains and losses of Jin Chixuan's team, they were overjoyed.
If it weren't for the fear of offending Jin Chixuan, the two of them would have gone to Yu Jinghua to ridicule each other.
In the end, everyone's gains were combined into Liu Yiping's hands, and the result of this final battle was revealed.
In this battle, the Yingguo coalition forces killed a total of five monks of the Golden Core Stage of Hualong Sect, two fourth-level dragons, two fourth-level monsters, 21 monks of the Purple Mansion Stage, and four third-level monsters.
On the side of the Yingguo coalition, three monks from the Jindan stage fell, one was seriously injured, and many others were injured. Two other monks from the Zifu stage fell, and seven were injured.
Judging from this battle report, the Yingguo coalition undoubtedly achieved a great victory.
Counting the gains from the previous battle at Fulong Stronghold, the gains from the previous southern expedition, and the gains from the Corpse Demon Sect at the Qinglong Hall, after these successive battles, the fallen Golden Core monks from the Hualong Sect have become more powerful.
There were more than twenty people in total, five fourth-order dragons died, and more than ten fourth-order monsters were killed.
You must know that the Hualong Sect itself only has more than 30 Golden Core monks, but now it has lost two-thirds of them.
And most of the dragons that the Hualong Cult had finally cultivated died in one go!
But these are not the worst things. The worst thing is that the more than one hundred Zifu period guardians of Hualong Sect are now completely destroyed, with less than twenty survivors!
Eighty-nine percent of the foundation-building monks from the other six major divisions were lost!
Without these lost manpower, even if the Hualong Sect can still maintain its main organization after this time, if it wants to make a comeback, it will not be possible for three to five hundred years, and it may not even have that chance.
After all, today is different from the past. After knowing that the Hualong Sect has a deep collusion with the Jiaolong Clan, even if it cannot be completely destroyed with the protection of the Jiaolong Clan, the three major sects of Jingguo will never give it a chance to develop again.
Therefore, when the battle report came out, even Liu Yiping, who had a gloomy and ugly face, smiled again.
He put down the battle report in his hand, looked at Jin Chixuan and Taoist Priest Qingsu with a smile on his face and said: "Although we and other sects also suffered a lot of losses this time, we can achieve such a big gain. I think all the ancestors will be waiting for me."
I am satisfied with the results of this expedition.”
"Next, I will withdraw my troops and return home, waiting for the next instructions from our ancestors!"
However, after hearing what he said, Aunt Qingsu had a different opinion.
She said slowly: "Pindao thinks it's too early to withdraw the troops and return home. I can't attack the main altar of Hualong Cult, but the Blood Dragon sub-altar is still there. Pindao suggests that I go to the Blood Dragon Sect later."
The dragon divides the altar and his team, and it is not too late to withdraw the troops after destroying it!"
Are you going to attack the Blood Dragon branch again?
Liu Yiping was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Taoist Aunt Qingsu, then looked at Jin Chixuan aside and asked, "What did Taoist Fellow Jin say?"
Hearing this, Jin Chixuan just pondered for a moment before replying: "Jin feels that Taoist friend Qingsu's suggestion is not unreasonable. Now that all the defeated soldiers of Hualong Sect have fled to the main altar, there is only one Blood Dragon branch left."
It’s an empty shell, and it doesn’t take much effort to destroy it.”
"Well, since both fellow Taoists think so, let's go to the Blood Dragon branch later!"
Liu Yiping nodded and agreed with Taoist Aunt Qingsu's suggestion.
So he immediately asked the seriously injured Yu Jinghua and several seriously injured Jindan monks to return to Jingguo with some wounded and captives, then gathered the remaining people who could fight, and once again killed the Blood Dragon and left at the altar.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, the Blood Dragon sub-altar is indeed only stationed by some foundation-building monks and two Dragon Transformation Sect protectors.
When dozens of Golden Core Stage monks arrived with more than a hundred Zifu Stage monks, the Dragon Transformation Cult monks in the Blood Dragon Division almost died of fright.
The two guardians of the Dragon Transformation Sect didn't even care about the fact that they had been planted with the "Dragon Soul Heart Seed" at this moment. They were so frightened that they opened the formation and surrendered.
Seeing that they knew each other so well, Liu Yiping and others were very satisfied, and immediately decided to rest for a day in this blood dragon forum before returning home. After all, they were a little tired from the continuous battles and the rush.
But in fact, he only rested for less than half a day when Liu Yiping suddenly received a message from Master Yinyue.
After some long-distance communication with Master Yin Yue, Liu Yiping hurriedly led his men to destroy the mountain-protecting formation of the Blood Dragon Branch, and then returned to Jingguo with the things looted from the Blood Dragon Branch and the prisoners.
It turned out that after a battle that lasted for many days, the battle between the fifth-level beings on both sides also came to an end.
Naturally, the result was that the Yingguo coalition won, and successfully killed a deputy leader of the Hualong Sect, seriously injuring the leader and two deputy leaders, and also seriously injured two of the five dragons that came to help.
The defeated leader of the Hualong Cult could only escape back to the main altar of the Hualong Cult with the remaining three deputy leaders, and activated the main altar's mountain-protecting formation to resist the attack by Master Yin Yue and others.
According to the intentions of Master Yinyue and others, they originally wanted to take this opportunity to directly break the Hualong Sect's main altar and completely destroy the Hualong Sect.
But at this time, a fifth-level dragon from Yuanze brought a decree from the king of the dragon clan, the Golden-horned Dragon King, telling them to leave the wilderness immediately.
This obviously means to protect the Hualong Sect.
Although Yin Yue Zhenren and others were unwilling to accept this, they did not dare to disobey the decree of the demon king of Long Yuan Ze.
In the end, they could only retreat first, and then find an opportunity to complain to the powerful human beings who could compete with the Golden Horned Dragon King.
Since even Yin Yue Zhenren and others were expelled from the wilderness by the Golden Horned Dragon King's decree, Liu Yiping certainly did not dare to stay in the wilderness anymore after learning about this.
Fortunately, the leader of Hualong Sect and others had no time to cause trouble for them at this time. After escaping in fear, the group returned to Jingguo smoothly.
Returning to Yunzhou, Liu Yiping immediately ordered that all the monks who had been recruited could now return to their caves freely. As for their military exploits, after the statistics of the three sects were completed, they would naturally be converted into relevant rewards and distributed to them.
Of course, this time may be a bit long, because it also involves pensions for fallen monks and a series of related matters.
But no matter what, the war is now over.
Even if we continue to fight against the Hualong Cult in the future, we will no longer forcibly recruit monks from various immortal cultivating families. At most, we will do so through offering rewards.
Therefore, after learning the news that they could go home, all the monks from the various cultivating families who were still on the front line in Yunzhou were ecstatic and filled with endless joy.
Even many monks from the three sects were completely relieved and extremely happy.
After Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi learned about this, they immediately returned to their family with Zhou Zhengyong and others who were staying at the Fulong stronghold.
Compared to those Zhou family monks who died at the frontline stronghold of Biyanze, Zhou Zhengyong and others were undoubtedly lucky.
When they were stationed at the Fulong stronghold, because the stronghold's protective formation had never been broken, all thirty of them were uninjured and could return to their families safely at this time.
After flying like this for less than two days, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi finally returned to Zhou's home.
They also brought the news of the end of the war back to the Zhou family.
"Great, this war is finally over!"
Inside the Zhou Family Mountain Gate, Zhou Chun clapped his hands happily after learning the news that the war was over, and he felt much more relaxed.
Like many people, he has long been looking forward to this day coming soon.
Now that the war has finally ended, and it ended with a great victory for the Yasukuni coalition, how could he not feel happy about this?
And as Zhou Mingde and the others told the story of the battle at Fulong Stronghold and the battle at Golden Dragon Division, Zhou Chun became even happier.
He couldn't help shouting with joy: "Three joys are coming to our door. This is simply three joys coming to our Zhou family!"
It is indeed three blessings.
Whether the war ends, Lin Hongyu gets help from the Zhou family and escapes from bondage, or Yu Jinghua, the traitor, is severely wounded, it is a happy event for the Zhou family.
"Yes, it's indeed three blessings. Next, our Zhou family will have a lot of fun!"
Zhou Mingde also nodded along with a smile on his face and agreed with Zhou Chun's description.
In order to celebrate these three blessings, Zhou Chun and the two Zhou family Zifu monks discussed briefly and decided to celebrate for seven days.
Within seven days, any monk who comes to the Zhou family to practice will not be charged spiritual coins. At the same time, they can also enjoy a meal of monster meat processed by the Zhou family every day, as well as spiritual wine and spiritual tea.
All Zhou family monks, regardless of their level of cultivation, received a special reward of one hundred spiritual coins for their contribution to the family during the war.
During these seven days, even the monks of the Purple Mansion Period such as Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were completely relaxed. They either had banquets with fellow monks or slept soundly, just wanting to indulge themselves for a while.
After seven days, when everyone had recovered from the atmosphere of celebration and carnival, they began to deal with post-war matters.
There is indeed a lot to deal with after the war.
For example, the issue of pensions for the Zhou family members who died in the battle, the handling of harvests from the war, communication and contact with other families, and even the establishment of pioneer strongholds and a series of other things have to be dealt with.
Among them, the issue of pension is easy to talk about. The Zhou family is not short of money now.
After high-level discussions, it was decided to distribute 2,000 family meritorious deeds, or 2,000 spiritual coins, to the relatives of the Zhou family monks who died in battle.
If there are no monks or relatives, then there will be no pension.
The amount of this pension is already very high. After all, most of the Zhou family monks who died in battle were only in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Therefore, even though the monks' relatives were still heartbroken, they had no objections to this.
After settling the issue of pensions for the fallen clansmen in this way, Zhou Chun ordered most of the Qi Refining Stage monks such as Zhou Zhengyong and others to be busy processing and making spirit beast rations, so as to make all the monster beast corpses stored by the family as soon as possible.
Food for adult beasts.
For this reason, Zhou Chun even allowed them to recruit some casual cultivators to help them.
And Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and other high-ranking monks of the Zhou family are not idle either. They need to count the gains of the Zhou family in this war.
From this war, the Zhou family achieved huge gains.
Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun killed many monks one after another and plundered many storage bags, many of which they had not yet conducted a thorough inventory of.
At this time, they have to count and classify everything, summarize it, and then discuss how to deal with the harvest.
This kind of counting of harvests is tiring and happy at the same time.
After three people counting for more than half a day, they finally finished counting dozens of storage bags and summarized everything that was directly harvested from this war.
"Phew, we have finally made an inventory. If this list is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that the Golden Core Stage monks will be tempted to come and rob us!"
In Zhou Mingde's cave, Zhou Chun looked at the list of items in his hand and couldn't help but joke with the two elders with a smile on his face.
