After secretly having the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer carry back the two demon cultivators one by one to this location, Zhou Chun had Lin Hongyu perform soul searching on the pair.
The information gleaned from the soul search was more or less the same as what had been obtained through interrogation; the findings were consistent.
However, after the soul searching, one of the demon cultivatorsâ Divine Soul nearly collapsed, turning them into a living dead person, while the other went insane.
Zhou Chun had no choice but to destroy the bodies and erase all traces of them.
âHow do you plan to handle this matter, Zhengchun? Do you want to report it directly to the Heavenly Spirit Alliance?â
Lin Hongyu looked at Zhou Chun, who was deep in thought, and quietly asked for his opinion.
After the battle with the Primordial Demon Legion, her identity had been âwhitewashed,â fully integrating her into the Zhou Family and the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm, firmly binding her personal fate to the Zhou Family.
Now that the Zhou Family had aligned with the Moon Wheel Sect, the largest force in Jingguo, Zhou Chunâs advancement to the Core Formation seemed to be free of any obstacles, indicating a promising future.
She naturally would not consider leaving the Zhou Family to cultivate alone anymore, but genuinely wanted to stay with the Zhou Family and began to sincerely contemplate its well-being.
In Lin Hongyuâs view, the discovery was undoubtedly a significant crisis.
If the Dragon Transformation Sect and the Five Factions of the Primordial Demons were to collude, once they recovered, the Dragon Transformation Sect would certainly âcleanse the houseâ and execute her, the defector, and the Primordial Five Factions would surely seek revenge against Zhou Chun.
Therefore, she also wanted to strike first and nip the threat in the bud.
However, she knew that the real decision-maker in the Zhou Family was not her, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, nor Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder who single-handedly established the new Zhou Family, but Zhou Chun, the younger Clan Leader.
That was why she took a humble approach in asking Zhou Chunâs plans.
And upon hearing her question, Zhou Chun nodded and immediately responded, âWe definitely need to inform the Heavenly Spirit Alliance. Otherwise, if we allow those demon cultivators to establish a foothold, it will be much harder to eliminate them later!â
After finishing, he shook his head slightly and added, âItâs just that Iâm pondering whether itâs better for the Zhou Family to report this matter themselves, or whether itâs better to do a favor for someone else by letting them report it!â
Hearing this, Lin Hongyu curiously asked, âWhatâs there to think so much about? Could it be, Zhengchun, that you fear taking too much credit?â
âItâs not that I fear too much credit, but Iâm concerned that the Zhou Familyâs arrangements in the Wasteland Territory might be exposed. After all, although weâve been discreet about it, the Family has benefited from the Wasteland Territory arrangements over the years, and itâs hard to ensure we havenât drawn the attention of some interested parties!â
Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, expressing his concerns.
After hearing his thoughts, Lin Hongyu felt there was some sense to them and thus asked again, âThen, to whom do you plan to give this favor?â
âThe Jiangzhou Su Family, they are the most suitable!â
Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shared his thoughts.
âThen weâll go with the Su Family. This matter needs to be reported to the Alliance sooner rather than later.â
Seeing that he still seemed hesitant, Lin Hongyu immediately gave him a push.
With an internal consensus reached, Zhou Chun employed the Earth Escape Technique again, stealthily left Tuyun Ridge, and went to visit the Ancestor of the Su Family in Jiangzhou.
This visit was a secret one. Zhou Chun used the Hundred Illusions Bead to disguise himself as the junior Zhou Xinheng, claiming he had a letter to deliver to Su Yuzhen.
It was only when he met Su Yuzhen in her cave dwelling, with just the two of them present, that Zhou Chun revealed his true identity.
âAh, how come itâs Mr. Zhou?â
Inside the cave dwelling, Su Yuzhen was slightly startled to see the true identity of Zhou Chun, showing a look of pleasant surprise.
âGiven the complex situation nowadays, I dare not show my face in public easily and have to travel incognito. I hope my wife will forgive me,â Zhou Chun said with a faint smile, explaining the situation.
Then, the husband and wife, who hadnât seen each other for a long time, comforted each other for a while.
Shortly after Zhou Chunâs breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion, Su Yuzhen also reached the Late Stage of the Purple Mansion and began planning for her Core Formation.
The Su Family was at its peak, and Zhou Chun had previously gifted a portion of the Extreme Yang Fire Spirit Liquid. It seemed getting together a set of Nascent Soul Spirit Material similar to what Lin Hongyu used for her Core Formation should not be a difficult task for her.
Furthermore, Yunniang might be able to secure for her an opportunity to use the Divine Skills of Moonlight Purification.
Given her talents, plus the ingenious uses of The Mysterious Art of the Plain Girl that she practiced, with these external aids, the success rate of Core Formation could well exceed thirty percent, which was not low.
However, Zhou Chun knew that Su Yuzhenâs best chance would be after his own Core Formation.
If they undertook Dual Cultivation through the Dual Cultivation Technique, so long as he was willing to expend some of his Essence Energy from the Golden Core to assist her, it would surely enhance the success rate of her Core Formation.
But this, Zhou Chun had not yet mentioned to Su Yuzhen; after all, he couldnât presumptuously claim that he would succeed in Core Formation on his first try!
After some comforting, Zhou Chun took the opportunity to explain his visit to Su Yuzhen.
When Su Yuzhen heard that he wanted to give the Su Family the favor of reporting the demon cultivatorsâ establishment of a base in the Wasteland Territory, she was deeply touched and even urged him not to worry about such matters.
However, Zhou Chun was resolute, and naturally, she could not persuade him otherwise.
In the end, Su Yuzhen, with a heartfelt gratitude, helped him get in touch with the Ancestor of the Su Family, and then accompanied him, in disguise, to meet with the Ancestor.
Inside the cave dwelling, upon learning of Zhou Chunâs intentions, the Ancestor of the Su Family was greatly comforted, thinking that the young man finally remembered to show gratitude and reciprocate to the Su Family.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Zhou Chun and asked, âThe information youâve provided is indeed very important, but have you verified the authenticity of the information?â
