Chapter 2803 - 1037:
Of course, there were some Zhou family members who tried to curry favor with Zhou Qingyu, but the sudden change in attitude of those friends at the Spirit Testing Ceremony years ago made Zhou Qingyu no longer believe in such easily gained friendships, warmth, or admiration.
Except for her brother, she showed no warmth to anyone.
Every day, she devoted herself to diligent cultivation, just to catch up with her brother’s footsteps.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The sound of wind howling, a group of young people riding on flying magic tools, quickly arrived at the edge of Bailu Marsh’s Evil Swamp.
They did not go deep inside but waited quietly.
Before long, several powerful glints flew from within the clan.
Leading them was Family Head Zhou Junxiao and Sixth Elder Zhou Haiye.
The two looked at the vast Bailu Marsh, expressions of joy clearly displayed on their faces.
"Indeed, these past years, the miasma within the Evil Swamp has visibly decreased. In this way, those evil beasts hiding in the swamp finally have nothing to rely on!"
Zhou Junxiao said excitedly.
The miasma in Bailu Marsh was not as simple as it seemed.
In its densest areas, even a Golden Core Ascendant Master dared not ingest too much.
Moreover, those black-beaked white crane demons had not only hard physical bodies and swift flying escapes but could also manipulate poisonous miasma, making them extremely troublesome.
Without the intervention of the ancestors, the enormous Zhou family had been helpless against this treasured land.
Fortunately, in recent years, the miasma in Bailu Marsh’s Evil Swamp had mysteriously decreased significantly.
After consulting the ancestors, Zhou Junxiao received clear orders to begin purging the black-beaked white crane demons and to develop Bailu Marsh.
"Haiye, I will grant you fifty Foundation Establishment family members, to delve into the swamp and slay demon beasts. If you encounter the White Crane Demon King, prioritize capturing it; if capturing is impossible, then kill it!"
Zhou Haiye smiled faintly and immediately led a group of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, with Poison Avoidance Pills painstakingly crafted by Fifth Elder Zhou Chongxiao in their mouths, flying into the miasma-filled swamp.
Zhou Junxiao then looked at the hundreds of Qi Refinement cultivators below.
Among them were not only the older generation of Qi Refinement cultivators but also the youngsters who had just grown up.
He said solemnly, "The threats inside will be handled by Sixth Elder. If any First Order White Crane Demon escapes, you are responsible for capturing and slaying them. This time, for many people, is also a training opportunity. Alright then, from now on, everyone forms teams of three, spread out and encircle the White Crane Evil Swamp!"
Hundreds of people responded in unison and then dispersed.
Seeing this scene of orderly compliance, Zhou Junxiao couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth slightly.
The clan, in his hands, had finally regained a bit of Yuan Qi.
However, upon seeing a lonely woman in the southeast corner, he couldn’t help but frown.
"Why is no one teaming up with Zhou Qingyu?"
At this moment, Zhou Qingyu, holding a small, exquisite Flying Sword, landed on a hilltop, gazing into the distance at the White Crane Evil Swamp.
The surrounding gossip and mocking laughter seemed completely invisible to her.
"Brother once said, ’A dragon does not dwell with serpents, a tiger does not accompany dogs. To achieve anything, one must endure loneliness and hardship. Friends, if one has them, that’s good, if not, so be it, there’s no need to force it!’"
She gripped the Flying Sword tightly, her eyes holding some anticipation.
Anticipating the possible encounter with White Crane Demon Beasts for a real battle.
Also anticipating that once the White Crane Evil Swamp was cleared, her brother might finally return.
Indeed, only she knew, three years ago, when her brother disappeared, he went deep into Bailu Marsh to cultivate.
It was said that her brother was cultivating a special technique?
And how are his cultivation results now?
...
Meanwhile.
Deep within Bailu Marsh, in a miasma-dense swamp.
Several glints streaked across the sky, one of which descended feeling something.
It was a beautiful young woman, holding a map in her hand, moving according to the map.
"According to the map from the Yin family, that precious small mineral vein should be around here."
"Haiye has to oversee the overall situation, so I’ll take it myself."
"I need to be quick and avoid being discovered by other family members!"
With a Poison Avoidance Pill in her mouth, she advanced rapidly.
As she ventured deeper, the surrounding miasma thickened, giving her a bad premonition.
This area was not considered the deepest part, so why was the miasma so thick?
Suddenly!
The dense miasma abruptly dispersed, revealing its interior clearly.
A handsome young man dressed in a white Daoist robe embroidered with red coral opened his eyes and looked at her indifferently.
"Seventh Aunt, why do you disturb my cultivation?"
The young woman, called Seventh Aunt, showed a change in expression upon seeing the young man.
"Zhou Fuqiu, why are you here?"
"I should be asking you that question. Moreover..." Zhou Fuqiu slowly stood up, his eyes showing a strange light, "I also want to ask about that matter from back then!"
