This has nothing to do with his reputation; he simply does not want to fall behind others.

"Soon, in another two or three years, I will also be able to take that step!"

He thought to himself and then turned his attention to other intelligence reports.

Soon another piece of intelligence caught his attention.

It was an announcement by the Heavenly Spirit Legion declaring that they had achieved initial success in eradicating the remaining Demon Cultivators, and they would soon allow more Cultivators to retire and return to their hometowns.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance released a declaration urging various Cultivator Families and sects to form joint Demon-Slaying Squads to regularly patrol and eliminate rogue Demon Cultivators within their territories.

This is only a statement of advocacy, not a mandatory requirement.

However, with this statement of advocacy in place, those families wishing to establish a joint Demon-Slaying Squad will have official endorsement, preventing them from being viewed as illegal armed groups by local ruling factions.

"This is indeed an opportunity; perhaps I can organize this, allowing the Supreme Elder and Xu Fu to retire under the guise of forming a Demon-Slaying Squad and return home. Then, my Zhou Family can take the lead in establishing a Demon-Slaying Squad!"

Zhou Chun had this idea in his mind and quickly conceived a plan.

After some thought, he turned to Zhou Xinyi and asked, "Has the result come out for the selection of Clan Members willing to go to the Moon Wheel Sect that I asked the family to conduct last time?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Xinyi hurriedly replied, "The results have been out for a while; allow me to deliver the list to the Clan Leader right away."

With that, he retrieved a report from the archive cabinet in the hall and placed it on Zhou Chun’s desk.

According to Zhou Chun’s requirements, the first page of the report lists the relevant personnel’s names, genders, ages, and aptitudes directly, followed by more detailed personal information such as their background and the evaluations from teachers at the Family Academy, etc.

By now, the Zhou Family no longer greatly lacked Cultivators with medium-grade Spiritual Root Talent like Zhou Chun.

Therefore, as long as they did not possess Superior Spiritual Root Talent, and provided that the individual or their relatives wanted to send them to the Moon Wheel Sect, they would be included in the list.

This first batch of Zhou Family Disciples sent to the Moon Wheel Sect is a testament to the Zhou Family’s commitment; they cannot be as perfunctory as they previously were with the Green Lotus Temple!

After reviewing the information of the dozens of individuals listed in the report, Zhou Chun circled the names of the selected individuals with a pen and handed the report back to Zhou Xinyi, saying, "These ten people I have circled, have someone bring them to me so I can review them personally. If there are no issues, I myself will personally escort them to the Moon Wheel Sect in a few days!"

"Yes, I will take care of it immediately!"

Zhou Xinyi respectfully replied and promptly took the report to handle the matter.

Not long after, ten Zhou Family youths of various ages were brought into the Central Peace Hall.

These ten individuals were evenly split between five boys and five girls, with the oldest being fourteen and the youngest eight, all within the age range that major sects like the Moon Wheel Sect were looking to recruit Disciples.

Of course, without the connection to the Zhou Family, three of the children with lower-grade Spiritual Root Talent would never have had the opportunity to be taken in by the Moon Wheel Sect.

As the most prominent sect in Jingguo Country, the Moon Wheel Sect’s standard recruitment requirement starts with mid-grade Spiritual Root talent.

The Zhou Family was also offered ten slots by the Moon Wheel Sect, and since it was the first time they were recruiting Zhou Family Disciples, there was no restriction on Spiritual Root Talent.

In the future, if Zhou Family members still wish to join the Moon Wheel Sect, they will have to go through the normal channels, sending their candidates when the sect opens its doors for disciple recruitment.

Since all of them were youths, Zhou Chun did not impart any great principles to them but personally checked their Spiritual Root Talent again to avoid missing any unpolished gems.

After confirming that the situation of all individuals matched the information in the reports, Zhou Chun let Zhou Xinyi take them back to bid farewell to their families.

Three days later, Zhou Chun traveled on a Flood Dragon, bringing ten Zhou Family youths directly to the Moon Wheel Sect.

At this point, Zhou Chun was already well-known far and wide. Upon reaching the Moon Wheel Sect, he was readily welcomed through the gates and then personally watched as the Cultivators responsible for instructing new Disciples at the Moon Wheel Sect conducted checks, registered, and held an initiation ceremony for the ten Zhou Family youths.

After completing the relevant processes and ceremonies, Zhou Chun consoled the young Clan Members before personally going to meet with Baiyue True Person.

Zhou Chun’s visit to Baiyue True Person mainly served to thank the Moon Wheel Sect for providing protection to the Zhou Family, to express the Zhou Family’s loyalty on their behalf, and also to discuss future contributions of Demon Beasts from the Zhou Family to the sect.

Perhaps due to the size and significance of his family business, Baiyue True Person easily agreed to the material conditions proposed by Zhou Chun.

But he made one specific demand of the Zhou Family, and that was to offer a certain quantity of Flood Dragon Spirit Blood every year.

Zhou Chun could not refuse this demand, for it was one of the conditions that allowed the Moon Wheel Sect to agree to shelter the Zhou Family.

All he could do was silently apologize to the two Flood Dragons, Green Flood Dragon Qingqing and Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, in his heart.

With these terms negotiated, Zhou Chun extracted some of the Flood Dragon Spirit Blood from Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai on the spot and handed it over to Baiyue True Person, and then he revealed the matter of having Zhou Daoyi and others discharged and returned home.

There’s a saying that goes, "Receiving a person’s favor makes it difficult to rebuff them." After the Zhou Family had begun to take practical actions and fulfill their obligations as a vassal family, Baiyue True Person quickly agreed to Zhou Chun’s request, telling him to go home and await news.

In less than three months of waiting at home, Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Xinyan, Zhou Xintie, and other Zhou Family Cultivators were all discharged from service and returned to the family one after another.

However, Xu Fu had not been discharged from service but had instead proactively written to Zhou Chun to explain that he wanted to remain in the legion to continue earning Battle Merits and exchange them for the initiation of Purple Mansion Spirit Matters!

Clearly, he was well aware that given his roots and origin, the Zhou Family would not possibly prepare an initiation of Purple Mansion Spirit Matters for him.

"This kid, his wings have really grown firm!"

Zhou Chun’s face turned slightly cold as he looked at the letter of apology that Xu Fu had sent back through someone.

Xu Fu’s choice to stay in service for his own Dao path is indeed a personal choice, beyond reproach.

But the fact that he thereby defied the will of Zhou Chun, the Clan Leader, is also true.

This is not a very good sign!

"Could it be that he thinks by staying within the legion, with the protection of the legion and the Alliance, he can escape the control of our Zhou Family?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, feeling the need to discipline this disobedient servant and let him understand the strength of the main house.

Thereupon, Zhou Chun personally wrote a letter to Wei Yong and arranged for someone to deliver it with utmost speed.

Then, not a month had passed, and Xu Fu was assigned to a major unit of the Heavenly Spirit Legion stationed within Lingzhou’s borders.

This unit was based in a former marketplace of Dongling in Lingzhou, only a few hundred miles from the Zhou Family’s Tuyun Ridge.

And Xu Fu, suddenly faced with such a transfer, knew all too well why he was moved here.

When coming to Lingzhou to take up his post, he didn’t bother to report to the Dongling Marketplace base first and hurried to Tuyun Ridge to apologize to Zhou Chun.

"Bang bang bang, your subordinate knows he was wrong, and pleads the Clan Leader to consider his faithful loyalty and grant him a chance for redemption!"

Inside the Central Peace Hall, Xu Fu, summoned by Zhou Chun, entered and immediately knelt down and started kowtowing for mercy.

He smartly didn’t try to explain anything further, just pleading for Zhou Chun to give him a chance.

Whereas Zhou Chun looked at him with an icy gaze, which made Xu Fu break out in a cold sweat and start trembling, before finally speaking in a low voice, "Xu Fu, remember, although you don’t share the Zhou surname, you are still one of our Zhou Family, no matter where you go or what status you hold, you must not forget that!"

"The Zhou Family has enabled you to come this far, to possess your current cultivation level; we can also leave you with nothing, your soul scattered to the wind, do you understand?"

As he concluded, the last part of Zhou Chun’s voice burst forth like thunder, ringing next to Xu Fu’s ears, making his head buzz.

Then, almost reflexively, Xu Fu hurriedly responded with respect, "Yes, your subordinate understands. Your subordinate will definitely bear in mind the Clan Leader’s admonition today and dares not forget his identity!"

"That’s for the best. This seat will be watching you!"

Zhou Chun issued one final warning before waving his hand, signaling him to leave.

But once Xu Fu left, Zhou Chun, seeing his departing figure, was reminded of a long-sealed secret technique in his possession.

"It seems that after reaching Core Formation, I must swiftly master the Great Soul Control Technique. Otherwise, it is simply too exhausting and resource-consuming to subdue such people’s hearts through normal means!"

Zhou Chun had no wish to waste his energy on these matters, nor dare he stake everything on someone’s loyalty.

The best approach was naturally to use a secret technique like the Great Soul Control Technique to control their life and death, completely extinguishing any thoughts of breaking away from the Zhou Family!
