Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1073 - 479: Return Home [Subscription Request]_4

Afterward, Zhou Zhengyong arrived at the mortal settlement and loudly inquired of the surviving mortals there: "Is there anyone among you surnamed Zhou? Does anyone still remember the Sanjue Sect’s Zhou Family?"

Upon hearing his words, the mortals immediately became restless.

Many seemed to have something to say, yet appeared to be wary of something, not daring to speak out loud.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengyong quickly said: "You don’t have to worry about anything, the two of us are also surnamed Zhou and are descendants of the Sanjue Sect’s Zhou Family from back then; even if you do not share the surname Zhou, we would never lay a hand on you mere mortals!"

With these words, a middle-aged man whose vitality was severely depleted immediately stood out, his face filled with surprise as he trembled and said: "Is that true? You, no, are the two Immortal Masters really cultivators of the Sanjue Sect’s Zhou Family?"

"Of course it’s true, why would we cultivators need to deceive you mortals!"

Zhou Zhengyong slightly nodded, not minding the other party’s disrespect.

Upon hearing his words, the middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground, crying with joy as he exclaimed: "Immortal Masters above, your unworthy descendant, Zhou Dongyun, greets the Immortal Masters!"

"And me, I am also a descendant of the Zhou Family!"

"Zhou Family descendant, Zhou Hu, greets the Immortal Masters!"

"Zhou Family descendant, Zhou Mei, greets the Immortal Masters!"

Just like opening a floodgate, with the middle-aged man kneeling down, many of the Zhou Family mortals followed suit, kneeling and calling out in succession.

Other non-Zhou surnamed mortals saw this and showed panic, many also kneeling down but daring not to speak.

Just as Zhou Chun was about to speak to have these people stand up, a young man kneeling on the ground suddenly kowtowed repeatedly, begging him: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, please save Lian’er! She is also a descendant of the Zhou Family, I beg you to save her!!!"

After the young man finished speaking, other kneeling Zhou Family mortals quickly joined him in pleading.

"Yes, Immortal Master, please save Lian’er, she’s a good girl; she saved many of us before!"

"That’s right, Immortal Master, since you are an Immortal Master of the Zhou Family, please definitely save Lian’er, she is also a cultivator of our Zhou Family!"

Listening to these pleading voices, Zhou Chun became curious as well.

He knew that mortals generally fear cultivators greatly, daring not to make requests from them, let alone these Zhou Family mortals who should have suffered under demon cultivators, logically making them even more fearful.

Under such circumstances, to have them unanimously plea for the salvation of one person, that person must truly be extraordinary.

He immediately waved his hand saying: "Do not rush, first explain the situation clearly, if you want Zhou Mou to save someone, let me see the person first!"

As the words fell, the young man who first pleaded quickly explained the situation and led him to where the woman named "Lian’er" was.

Following the young man to a cellar entrance, Zhou Chun more or less understood the situation.

His divine sense swept through the cellar, only to see a beautiful woman lying quietly on a small bed, her eyes closed tightly, with a pale face.

At first glance, the woman was extremely beautiful; however, because Zhou Chun used divine sense scanning, he could easily detect the terrifying condition under her beautiful visage.

The part of her body covered by a blanket from her neck down was riddled with various ghastly bloodstains, as if someone slowly cut them open with a small knife. Besides the bloodstains, there were also many scars that had already healed.

This woman also possessed cultivation, roughly around the third level of the Qi Refinement Realm, yet it was the aura of a Demon Technique.

And yet, her life force was now extremely weak, nearly extinguished.

The young man who brought Zhou Chun clearly knew the woman’s situation and, seeing that Zhou Chun simply stood at the cellar entrance, knelt down again, tearing up and pleading: "Those demons, in order to make Lian’er cooperate with their cultivation of Demon Techniques, threatened her with the lives of all of us. Lian’er endured endless agony and refused to commit suicide to save us, I beg the Immortal Master to definitely save her!"

Zhou Chun by then had a fairly clear understanding of the situation.

The few demon cultivators were likely the remnants who escaped from the battlefield after the Three Immortals Mountain stronghold was breached.

Because they did not manage to escape to the rear in time, and had previously established a secret base here, they continued to hide in this place, controlling these mortals as slaves for their cultivation.

And the woman inside the cellar was likely endowed with the Spirit Root Aptitude, cultivated by one of the Blood Bone Sect’s demon cultivators into a blood slave.

To make the woman willingly become his personal blood slave, that demon cultivator thus used the lives of her relatives and friends as threats.

As for those scars on the woman’s body, they were probably inflicted by some perverse hobby of the demon cultivator.

Standing next to Zhou Chun, Zhou Zhengyong also clearly understood the situation and upon realizing the woman’s tragic state inside the cellar, he couldn’t help but sigh: "For the sake of relatives to offer oneself to feed demons, enduring thousands of cuts without surrendering, this lady truly has a noble character, it’s just unfortunate that she was born at the wrong time!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhou Chun and said: "Thirteenth brother, if it’s possible to save her, then save her, even if her cultivation must be disabled later and she lives as a mortal!"

He usually wouldn’t address Zhou Chun like this.

Since he is addressing him this way now, it already speaks volumes.

Therefore, after hearing his words, Zhou Chun also nodded slightly saying: "I will try my best!"
