Beast-controlling fairy clan.

[Moon Toad Pearl] is indeed a magical treasure that even cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage would covet.

Although Zhou Chun was limited by his cultivation and unable to unleash its true power, just a few percent of its power was already stronger than the average high-grade magic weapon.

Earlier, when he had just formed his elixir and came out of retreat, he used this treasure to easily kill a fourth-rank monster and a great wizard from the Multi-Winged Clan.

Now, the long-planned "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" also unsurprisingly penetrated the defense of Yu Jinghua, a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and turned him into an ice sculpture!

However, Yu Jinghua is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core after all, and his magical powers are far stronger than those in the early stage of the Golden Core.

Although he was frozen into an ice sculpture, Zhou Chun felt that his life force had not dissipated immediately. Apparently, the all-destroying cold air had not completely frozen his golden elixir spirit, leaving him with a chance to survive.

But even so, Yu Jinghua now used all his mind and strength to fight against the extremely cold air, and was completely unable to care about the outside world!

Of course Zhou Chun would not just stand there and watch.

He relied on his innate magical power [Qianyuan Jinxia] and the body of a fourth-level thunder dragon to withstand the attack of [Taibai Zhanjiao Sword]. Soon, he and the dragon were separated, and then he urged the golden sword transformed by [Wanhua Jinding] to slash at the ice sculpture.

Although Yu Jinghua could sense the situation outside at this moment, he was unable to break free from the restraints. In the end, he could only open his eyes wide and watch the golden giant sword cut him in half with one sword!

This cruel punishment of beheading was Zhou Chun's punishment for his betrayal of the Zhou family!

With the powerful vitality of a Jindan-stage cultivator, Yu Jinghua would not die immediately even if he was cut in half.

This was also done deliberately by Zhou Chun. He wanted to wait for Zhou Mingde to arrive and then personally behead him to vent his hatred.

Yu Jinghua seemed to understand Zhou Chun's thoughts. He looked at Zhou Chun with resentment in his eyes, but deep in his eyes he could not hide the fear.

Unfortunately, he was a coward who was afraid of death. Even though he knew Zhou Chun's thoughts and knew that it would be difficult for him to have an easy life today, his instinct for survival still stubbornly resisted the erosion of the power of the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" and he was unwilling to give up his life.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhou Mingde and others arrived at the scene.

Then, looking at Yu Jinghua who had been cut in half on the ground, Zhou Mingde immediately understood Zhou Chun's intention.

Immediately, a look of relief appeared on his face.

He just raised his hand and took out his life-saving magic weapon [Red Flame Burning Sky Blade] in his hand, then walked towards Yu Jinghua with a big laugh.

"Hahahaha, Yu Jinghua, you shameless traitor, when you betrayed the Zhou family, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Zhou Mingde stood in front of Yu Jinghua, with the blade pointing at his head, feeling extremely happy and excited.

But Yu Jinghua couldn't say a word at this moment, only shame and anger appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde sighed with regret, "What a pity! It's a pity that we can't capture you and bring you back to the Zhou family alive. Otherwise, I will definitely invite guests from all over the world and summon all the cultivators in the clan to the scene, so that everyone can see with their own eyes how you, the traitor, die! I will kill you, the traitor, in front of everyone and our ancestors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the magic weapon in his hand and slashed Yu Jinghua's neck with the knife.

Zhou Chun extracted the icy cold air from that place just in the right place.

puff!

Accompanied by a stream of blood flying out, Yu Jinghua's head was instantly separated from the upper body, and the body was broken into three pieces.

And when only his head was left, he was finally unable to resist the power of the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" any more, and his soul was completely destroyed!

After confirming that Yu Jinghua's soul had really been torn to pieces, Zhou Chun immediately congratulated Zhou Mingde, "Congratulations to the Supreme Elder for achieving his long-cherished wish, avenging his great hatred, and killing the traitor with his own hands to enhance the prestige of our clan!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde immediately laughed happily and said, "Hahahaha, I should be the one to thank you. If it weren't for the help of you, Zhengchun, and Fellow Daoist Su, how could I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish!"

As he spoke, he bowed to the Su family's ancestor, Lin Hongyu and the others and said, "I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you fellow Taoists!"

"Haha, Brother Zhou, you are too polite. There is no need to be so polite between our two families."

The ancestor of the Su family just laughed and did not take any credit.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with strange eyes, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

No one saw Zhou Chun use the [Moon Toad Orb] to freeze Yu Jinghua.

However, seeing that Yu Jinghua, a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, was frozen in ice and unable to move, the Su family patriarch knew without hesitation that he must have a powerful magic weapon on him that was not convenient to show to others.

Of course, the spiritual treasure was too amazing, and the Su family's ancestor did not dare to believe that Zhou Chun could refine such a treasure. He only guessed that it might be some powerful high-grade magic weapon, or even a top-grade magic weapon!
But he was an experienced man. Since Zhou Chun was unwilling to show this magic weapon in public and had never mentioned it in advance, he would not be stupid enough to ask Zhou Chun how he did it.

Next, everyone did not stay at the scene for long. After hurriedly packing up the belongings of Master Yu Jinghua and his disciples, they left in a hurry and returned directly to Jingguo.

It can be predicted that Yu Jinghua must have left a "birth soul tablet" in Yulingmen. Now that he has passed away, the people of Yulingmen will definitely discover this.

It won’t be long before a monk from the Yuling Sect finds this place.

After all, the fluctuations from the battle between the six Jindan-stage cultivators were too intense, and it was estimated that it would spread to the surrounding area soon.

However, even if the Yuling Sect knew that Yu Jinghua was killed by the Zhou family, they would definitely not dare to go to Jingguo to avenge Yu Jinghua.

On the contrary, they should be the ones to be nervous next.

They harbored a traitor like Yu Jinghua who was wanted by the Nascent Soul cultivator Tianjing Zhenren. Once the matter was exposed, Tianjing Zhenren would definitely not turn a blind eye and would definitely come to them in person to demand an explanation!

Therefore, the Zhou family no longer needs to worry about attracting a powerful enemy after killing Yu Jinghua.

Here, after Zhou Chun and others returned to Jingguo, they began to count the spoils of killing Yu Jinghua and his disciples.

Because Yu Jinghua was frozen at the time, his belongings were very well preserved.

Including the four magic weapons he used, there is basically no major damage except for the three magic weapons of the blue flag, [Thick Earth Cauldron], and [Green Mang Immortal Staff], which have excessively worn out the source of the magic weapon.

Except for the [Thick Earth Cauldron] whose origin has been severely depleted and may be difficult to restore to its complete state, the other magic weapons can be restored to their complete state as long as someone worships and nourishes them.

In addition, Zhou Hui, a foundation-building cultivator, also has a lot of useful things on him. In his storage bag, there is a pseudo-magic weapon called [Green Wood Seal], which was specially made by a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Zhou family for the younger generation. It was previously in the hands of Zhou Zhenkun. (The previous chapter was modified to replace [Green Wood Seal] with [Green Mango Immortal Staff])
However, the fake magic weapon can basically only be activated by the cultivators in the late Purple Mansion stage. In the case of Zhou Hui and Zhou Zhenkun before him, this fake magic weapon could only be kept in the storage bag and gathered dust.

However, this treasure only requires the Zhou family bloodline and special refining techniques to be used. In the future, the Zhou family's late Purple Mansion cultivators will be able to wield this treasure, giving them an additional powerful means to fight the enemy.

At the same time, the third-level monster Silver-Horned Rhino left behind by Zhou Zhenkun was also killed by Lei Jiao this time, and the monster pill and corpse fell into Zhou Chun's hands.

The cultivation level of this silver-horned rhino is only the lower third rank, but fortunately the attribute of its demon pill is gold, which can be used to provide stone nourishment for the golden-winged tiger and the golden-armored mountain turtle.

Of course, there are a lot of good things in Yu Jinghua’s storage bag.

Although Zhou Chun did not find the Zhou family's other magic weapon [Wind-Fire Universe Fan] inside, there were more than 1.2 million spirit coins inside!

In addition, there are seven magical weapons and spiritual materials, sixteen thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, and two thousand-year-old precious medicines.

There are still three fourth-level magic talismans left, twenty-three third-level magic talismans, eight third-level magic weapons, and more than ten bottles of various elixirs.

As for the books on martial arts techniques and methods of cultivating secret techniques and supernatural powers, there were also a lot of them.

These are just the treasures in the storage bag. Yu Jinghua also has two other spirit beast bags around his waist.

One spirit beast bag contained a third-rank low-grade demon beast, the Green-Feathered Crane, and the other spirit beast bag contained a group of "Fat Spirit Birds".

Among them, the Green-Feathered Crane should be the inherited monster beast of the Yuling Sect. Zhou Chun found its "natal beast card" in Yu Jinghua's storage bag, which might be the mount configured for this elder.

It was a pity for the group of "Fat Spirit Birds". They had all turned into corpses. It was obvious that Yu Jinghua activated the contract restriction and killed them before he died.

Otherwise, this kind of spiritual bird is a good helper for cultivators, and can play a significant role in exploration and finding spiritual medicines.

Yu Jinghua had previously released these spirit birds to search for traces of wood spirits.

At this time, after counting Yu Jinghua's belongings, it was time to distribute the spoils.

Although the treasures on Yu Jinghua were basically all taken away from the Zhou family, the Su family's ancestor, Su Yuzhen, and Lin Hongyu all made great contributions, so it is reasonable that they should all get a share of the spoils.

But when Zhou Chun asked for his opinion on the division of the treasures, the Su family's ancestor said very considerately: "These magic weapons are treasures passed down by your Zhou family's ancestors. There is no reason for me and Yu Zhen to take them. Why don't you give me the green-feathered crane as a walking mount? In this way, together with the demon pill and corpse of the 'Wind Demon Spider', I and Yu Zhen will have gained a lot!"

This time, their Su family has produced two Jindan-stage cultivators. Having obtained so many magic weapons, it is reasonable for them to take at least one magic weapon.

Now he only asked to take away a third-rank low-grade demon beast, the Green-Feathered Crane, and a "Wind Demon Spider" whose demon pill essence and body were severely damaged due to the stimulation of its potential. This was already very considerate of the Zhou family.

Therefore, after hearing his words, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde not only did not think that his request was excessive, but instead felt that his request was too low.

Zhou Mingde took the initiative to say, "This is not enough. Fellow Daoist Su has made great efforts this time, and Yu Zhen was injured. How can we just take this little bit and let it go? If this gets out, our Zhou family will be laughed at!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Zheng Chun, how about this? We divide the spiritual coins we got into 400,000 and give them to Fellow Daoist Su?"

"No problem, I totally agree with you!" Zhou Chun nodded in agreement without hesitation, and their opinions were very consistent.

After hearing what the two said, the ancestor of the Su family hesitated.

He originally wanted to do the Zhou family a favor, so he only charged such a small amount of money.

But now the two heads of the Zhou family don't want to owe anyone any more favors, and he doesn't know whether he should continue to refuse.

"In my opinion, this division is quite good. Fellow Daoist Su, please don't be so modest. Otherwise, if you don't take anything, I will be even more embarrassed to take it!"

Lin Hongyu seemed to see the hesitation in the heart of the Su family's ancestor, and immediately smiled and gave him a way out.

Seeing this, the Su family patriarch immediately took advantage of the situation and laughed, "Haha, since Fellow Daoist Lin said so, then I will shamelessly accept it."

After the Su family's share was defined in this way, it became easier to divide the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun made the decision and assigned the [Thick Earth Cauldron] to Lin Hongyu, and gave his own [Scorching Flame Gloves] to Zhou Mingde.

The [Taibai Dragon-Slaying Sword] was given to himself.

The remaining [Green Mango Immortal Staff], [Green Wood Seal], and Yu Jinghua's natal magic weapon [Sky Wind Flag] were first collected into the family treasury.

There were 800,000 spirit coins left, Zhou Chun took 400,000, Zhou Mingde did not take a penny, 200,000 were deposited in the family treasury, and 200,000 were given to Lin Hongyu.

The rest of the raw materials and other items all belonged to Zhou Chun.

After all, no matter from which perspective, he made the greatest contribution and made the greatest contribution in killing Yu Jinghua, so he should get more than others.

Moreover, Yu Jinghua's body can still be recycled. After being displayed, it will be sent to Tianjing Villa to receive rewards.

Tianjing Villa originally issued a wanted warrant for this beast and offered a generous reward. Now the wanted warrant is still valid!

After dividing the treasures, the Su family's ancestor and Su Yuzhen went back to the Su family's mountain gate first.

Zhou Chun gathered all the clan members who could be summoned by the Zhou family, especially those cultivators who married into the Zhou family, to the gate of Tuyunling Mountain and asked them to go to the ancestral temple to visit Yu Jinghua's body.

In front of the Zhou family ancestral temple, Yu Jinghua's body, which had been stitched together, was kneeling directly in front of the temple's gate, sealed with ice.

After all the Zhou family cultivators had arrived, Zhou Mingde personally came forward and said loudly to the crowd: "All Zhou clan members, as well as all Zhou clan sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, I have summoned you here today for only one thing, and that is to participate in the clan's public trial and try a traitor!"

"That's right. You have seen it now. This traitor is him. He is the biggest traitor since the founding of our Zhou family. He is the traitor who almost caused the extinction of our Zhou family's inheritance. He is an ungrateful and heartless person - Yu Jinghua!"

Zhou Mingde pointed at the ice sculpture on the ground excitedly, his tone full of resentment.

Only the older generation of Zhou family members like him know how much damage Yu Jinghua has caused to the Zhou family.

Even though he had personally killed the traitor, he still found it difficult to get over the hatred in his heart when he talked about the harm this man had done to the Zhou family.

As he finished speaking, even those who originally did not understand the identity of the ice sculpture suddenly understood everything.

There was an uproar in the room for a moment, and most of the monks present were shocked.

In the Zhou family, Yu Jinghua's name is not a taboo.

On the contrary, in order to make all clan members remember this traitor, the Zhou family has been providing popular education to the younger generation of clan members to let them know which enemies the family has.

It was precisely because these monks had heard about Yu Jinghua's deeds that they were shocked.

They all knew that this traitor, who had split the Zhou family and almost caused the extinction of the Zhou family's thousand-year inheritance, was a real Jindan-stage cultivator and had successfully formed a golden elixir for hundreds of years.

Many people even know that Tianjing Zhenren, a Yuanying stage cultivator, is looking for this person.

Now, such a veteran Jindan-stage cultivator who had formed the Jindan for hundreds of years was actually found by the Zhou family, and was killed!
Such an astonishing thing would surely shock those who knew about it.

After the shock, many Zhou family cultivators showed expressions of joy and felt extremely relieved.

Zhou Daoyi, who was still recovering from his injuries, immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Grand Elder, Yu Jinghua is a traitor who is ungrateful and has betrayed the family. He deserves to die! I beg the Grand Elder to expose his corpse to the public and let all the Zhou family cultivators whip his corpse to vent our hatred and warn the younger generations not to follow his example and do such a thing of forgetting our ancestors!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Zhengyong followed up with a voice of support: "What the elder said is absolutely right, I also support the elder's suggestion!"

Seeing that his father had spoken up, Zhou Xinlan, as a son, naturally could no longer stand by and speak up in support.

With these heavyweight family elders taking the lead, many Zhou family cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refining Stage also followed suit and responded loudly.

This scene of overwhelming public emotion made the faces of the Zhou family's sons-in-law and the wives of their maternal relatives change and they felt extremely anxious.

How could they not know the purpose of calling them here today?

It's nothing more than killing the monkey to scare the chickens!

Since even a Jindan-stage cultivator like Yu Jinghua was found and killed for betraying the Zhou family, how could these people survive if they dared to have any ill intentions towards the Zhou family?

In this situation, even if they have a clear conscience now, they can't help but feel disturbed.

Especially Zhang Liang, the son-in-law of the Zhou family.

As the son-in-law with the highest cultivation level in the Zhou family, and the one who appears to be highly regarded by the top management, there are people who are jealous of him and deliberately compare him with Yu Jinghua in private.

Even if he had never had any thoughts of betrayal in his heart, it was impossible for him not to be shocked after seeing what happened to Yu Jinghua.

He could even clearly feel that many Zhou family cultivators and in-law cultivators were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, with all kinds of meanings contained in their gazes.

But fortunately, he was a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator after all, so even though his heart was in turmoil, he managed to maintain a normal expression.

At this time, his fellow Taoist Zhou Xindie beside him seemed to sense something, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand and smiled at him.

After seeing the peaceful smile on his Taoist partner's face, Zhang Liang quickly felt reassured in his heart. He smiled and nodded slightly in response, and soon calmed down.

Seeing the excitement among the tribesmen, Zhou Mingde naturally quickly obeyed public opinion and agreed to Zhou Daoyi's request.

So in addition to preserving Yu Jinghua's head, the ice below his neck was quickly thawed, and then the stitched corpse began to endure the beatings from one Zhou family cultivator after another.

Even though the body of a Jindan-stage cultivator was as hard as that of a second-level monster, under the whipping of the Zhou family cultivators, whip marks soon appeared on it, and then it broke into pieces!
Later, whether out of a desire to show their loyalty or out of fear of being suspected, some of the Zhou family's sons-in-law and daughters-in-law also joined in whipping the corpses.

Yu Jinghua, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, would never have imagined that after his death, his corpse would be whipped by a group of cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm!

In the end, his body was whipped until only a skeleton was left!
Even so, his corpse was still not spared. The pieces of meat were thrown to feed the monsters, and the skeleton was directly dismantled and thrown into the various toilets of the mortal members of the Zhou family, to be forever contaminated by those filthy things!
This is the Zhou family's punishment for this traitor. Although it is not as cruel as lighting his soul on fire, it will definitely not let him die a good death.

Just as the news of the Zhou family's long journey to track down and kill the traitor Yu Jinghua began to spread, Zhou Chun also went to Tianjing Villa to meet Master Tianjing with Yu Jinghua's specially protected head.

Previously, when the Zhou family was infiltrated by Dillon, the leader of the Black Dragon Hall of the Hualong Sect, and caused a big commotion at the Zhou family's mountain gate, Zhou Chun came over to give gifts and express his gratitude to Tianjing Zhenren for rescuing him.

Although his gift was accepted at that time, he was not able to actually meet Master Tianjing.

This time he brought Yu Jinghua's head again, and Master Tianjing finally received him.

Under the guidance of Wang Qingyun, a Jindan-stage cultivator from Tianjing Villa who had attended his Jindan Ceremony, Zhou Chun soon met Master Tianjing in a hall.

He had once met Tianjing Zhenren at the "Tianjing Dharma Assembly". At that time, he was a white-haired old man with a youthful face and the demeanor of a great Taoist master.

But the Tianjing Zhenren he saw now, although his face was vaguely similar to the one he saw before, looked like a black-haired young man.

Obviously, this is the other party's new image after taking over another's body.

Zhou Chun had read in some classics the records of Nascent Soul stage immortals taking over other people's bodies.

According to the classics, once a Yuanying stage immortal takes over someone's body, it is equivalent to establishing cause and effect, so basically he will not deliberately change that person's appearance, and may even protect his relatives and friends!
Some people speculate that if this is not done, the obsession of the person whose body is possessed will be difficult to eliminate, which will affect the fusion of the Nascent Soul and the physical body.

In a sense, Zhou Chun is also a person who has been reborn through another body.

So when he saw the appearance of Master Tianjing, he didn't feel too disgusted and adapted quickly.

He just raised his head slightly to glance at the other person, then quickly lowered his head and saluted respectfully, saying: "Junior Zhou Zhengchun greets you, the traitor Yu Jinghua's head is here, please examine it!"

As he said this, he handed over the head in his hand.

Zhenren Tianjing just took a casual look at the human head, and after confirming its authenticity, he casually shot out a golden light that turned the human head into green smoke.

Then he looked at him calmly and said, "Since your Zhou family is able to kill this traitor, it saves me from having to do it myself. If you have any requests, just tell me. As long as they are not too excessive, I will grant them!"
