Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

It was clear that Master Qingling harbored deep prejudices against the cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect and despised them from the bottom of his heart.

Even though Zhou Chun's previous behavior had made a good impression on him, the moment he learned that Lin Hongyu was in fact a remnant of the Dragon Transformation Sect, his expression cooled instantly.

However, Zhou Chun had been prepared for this and, seeing that Master Qingling was unwilling to help, he did not say much else. He simply nodded and said, "Of course, junior was also planning to personally visit Green Lotus Temple to beg for forgiveness from Elder Master Qingwei!"

Originally, Master Qingling had wanted to meet the Golden Core Stage Cultivator from the Zhou Family and even ask about the details of the battle between Zhou Chun and the "Corpse Fiend General," Jiang Zhong, but now he had lost all such intentions.

Seeing that Zhou Chun seemed prepared, Master Qingling didn't say anything further. He just let Zhou Chun pack up, make his arrangements, and follow him to the Green Lotus Temple to meet Elder Master Qingwei.

Zhou Chun actually had nothing much to pack. He merely entrusted the Storage Pouch that contained many of his belongings and the Spirit Beast Pouch to Lin Hongyu.

Then, he set off alone, taking only another Storage Pouch with his personal Magic Artifacts and accompanied Master Qingling to the Green Lotus Temple.

Carried by a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, Zhou Chun arrived at the Green Lotus Temple in less than four hours, and without any need for announcement, was taken directly to the Sect Leader's grand hall.

"Oh, Junior Brother Qingling, you're back so soon?"

Inside the Sect Leader's grand hall, Master Qingwei looked at Master Qingling with some surprise, then turned her gaze towards Zhou Chun.

She smiled faintly and said, "Little Friend Zhou, here we meet again, ah. This time, you have really given this seat quite the shock!"

But no sooner had she finished speaking than Master Qingling coldly interjected, "Sect Leader Brother, don't be too hasty to rejoice. First, listen to what Taoist Friend Zhou has actually been hiding from you!"

Upon hearing Master Qingling's words, Master Qingwei was also slightly startled, then she frowned slightly looking at Zhou Chun and said lightly, "Then I must indeed listen carefully!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately came forward and knelt down, respectfully kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, "Temple Master Elder, please forgive me. Junior knows that I was wrong first and do not wish to make any excuses. I beg that Temple Master Elder will spare junior and the Zhou Family for our deception, considering that Elder Lin has already turned over a new leaf!"

Master Qingwei, upon seeing this, instantly sharpened her gaze, then spoke in a low, stern voice, "What do you mean, Taoist Friend Zhou? What exactly have you and the Zhou Family been hiding from me and my temple?"

"What else could it be? Sect Leader Brother, you would never guess—the Golden Core Stage Cultivator from their Zhou Family is actually a remnant of the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

Master Qingling, with a tone full of anger, revealed the truth for Zhou Chun.

"What? Such a thing occurred!"

Master Qingwei's expression changed, and her gaze towards Zhou Chun immediately became different; her expression turned grim and ugly.

Zhou Chun, sensing this shift, quickly said, "Temple Master Elder, with clear judgment, please, hear the full complexity of the matter from me slowly!"

Then he repeated what he had said to Master Qingling, only this time he did so in greater detail and with more firmly-stated words.

And at the end, he sincerely pledged, "I am willing to guarantee with my life and the lives of hundreds in the Zhou Family that Elder Lin has absolutely severed any ties with the Dragon Transformation Sect. If I am lying, let me and all of the Zhou Family face a terrible death!"

Hearing his words, both Master Qingwei and Master Qingling were moved.

Despite their dislike for cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect due to their positions, they were Golden Core Stage Cultivators and would not so easily let hatred control their minds.

Since Zhou Chun made such a solemn promise, they believed him by seven or eight parts.

After all, the Dragon Transformation Sect was now down to only a few remnants, while the Zhou Family was situated in the heartland of Jingguo Country.

If Zhou Chun dared to lie, and they grasped even the slightest clue or evidence, the currently flourishing Zhou Family would be reduced to ashes in an instant!

This consequence was something Zhou Chun, as the Clan Leader who had led the Zhou Family towards renewal and strength, could not possibly misunderstand.

But even though they believed him, the fact remained that the Zhou Family had deceived the Senior Sect.

Master Qingwei, as the Sect Leader of Green Lotus Temple, could not tolerate such deception.

She coldly said to Zhou Chun, "Even if what you say is true, that Lin Hongyu has no more connections with the Dragon Transformation Sect, she is still an unwelcome person in our three sects and is forbidden from cultivating within Jingguo Country!"

After speaking, she added with a chilling murderous intent, "Moreover, your Zhou Family dared to harbor remnants of the Dragon Transformation Sect; do you realize this is a crime that could lead to the annihilation of your entire clan?"

The murderous intent from a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator was not something Zhou Chun could easily resist.

In an instant, he felt his heart constrict, his inner alarms screaming.

Not daring to delay, he quickly reached into his shirt with a trembling hand, pulling out an exquisitely crafted jade token. On one side of the token was carved a twelve-petal green lotus, and on the other, the characters for "Green Lotus."

Upon seeing this jade token, Master Qingwei instantly retracted her murderous intent, and Master Qingling's face also showed surprise.

"This Green Lotus Jade Token was a gift you bestowed upon the Zhou Family, Temple Master Elder. If I am not mistaken, this token can save the Zhou Family from one great sin. I wonder if Temple Master Elder still remembers this matter!"

Zhou Chun held up the jade token and spoke with a respectful tone.

Upon hearing his words, Master Qingwei fell silent.
