Apart from Zhou Chun and the second elder, Zhou Chongshan, no one else knew about the departure of these two mainstays of the Zhou Family, not even the third elder, Zhou Daoquan.

Fortunately, as Zhou Chun was already in charge of the family affairs and Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde hardly ever showed himself, there was no concern about this matter being suddenly discovered.

This way, eight days had passed, and Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi finally returned.

Upon their return, Zhou Mingde said with a joyful expression, "We’ve thoroughly investigated and it appears that fortune truly favors our Zhou Family this time—the exit of the underground river into Dragon Abyss Marsh is less than a thousand miles from our target location!"

A distance of a thousand miles was less than two hours’ travel for a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator.

It was indeed very close.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Chun also showed a smile.

He couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "Indeed, it seems heaven truly blesses our Zhou Family!"

In the following days, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi made public appearances within the family and Zhou Daoyi even found an excuse to pay visits to the Sun Family and the Mu Family.

When only three days remained before the operation began, the two of them once again quietly left the Zhou Family and made their way via the underground river to Dragon Abyss Marsh to formally commence their ambush.

"Everyone must return safely!"

Atop Pagoda Peak, Zhou Chun, as the only member of the Zhou Family privy to the operation, was also silently praying for the safe return of the two pillars of the family.

Once Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi had traveled via the underground river to Dragon Abyss Marsh, they immediately concealed their auras and hastened on land toward their destination.

For this journey, both had brought sufficient elixirs to restore their mana, more than enough for several full recoveries.

Therefore, they didn’t need to conserve their mana that much.

Though the lands near Dragon Abyss Marsh were wild and roamed by Demon Beasts, these clearly posed no threat to the two of them.

The only thing they needed to be careful of was to avoid being discovered by other cultivators.

Otherwise, they could be easily revealed as not being cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect.

After speeding along for more than two days, the two finally reached their destination without incident.

"The Wasteland Territory holds great dangers, but also great opportunities!"

"These vassal families of the Dragon Transformation Sect, although they must fight for the sect and offer up resources of Spiritual Objects, the resources they control themselves are still incomparable to what our families possess!"

"Look at the Chen Family, just a small family with fewer than a hundred cultivator members, yet it has four Foundation Establishment cultivators and exclusively controls resources within several hundred miles around it, with no one to compete for them!"

On a mountain covered with towering ancient trees, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were hidden at the peak, gazing from a distance at a Cultivation family’s gate over thirty miles away, also inevitably envying the rich resources possessed by that family.

They had also scouted nearby areas earlier and found that some mountains were covered with Hundred-Year Spirit Herbs unharvested by anyone, and some herb locations even showed clear signs of human cultivation, likely intentionally sown and grown.

Such a thing was unimaginable in Jingguo Country.

In Jingguo, Loose Cultivators, except for daring not to collect herbs from the gates of major sects such as Green Lotus Temple, even covet the Spiritual Medicines grown within Cultivation family gates.

However, in the territory developed by the Dragon Transformation Sect, Loose Cultivators simply do not exist.

In this wilderness, Demon Beast figures are a common sight, including even rank two Demon Beasts. Discover more stories at empire

Ordinary Qi Refinement Loose Cultivators, even if they form teams to move in the wilderness, can easily be annihilated by Demon Beasts.

In Jingguo, mortal caravans can travel from Yunzhou to Lanzhou, traversing several states to conduct business.

But on Dragon Transformation Sect’s side, mortals can only settle down in mountains and towns established by Cultivation families and the sect, never venturing beyond a hundred miles in their lifetime.

But with risks come opportunities.

It is precisely because low-level cultivators can hardly survive here on their own that the wilderness is rich in various Spiritual Medicine resources, not destroyed by rampant exploitation like in Jingguo.

Thus, any Cultivation family that can establish itself here possesses far more resources than those in Jingguo!

"This place is truly a treasure land, but sadly, it’s far too close to Dragon Abyss Marsh!"

"Although it’s unclear how the Dragon Transformation Sect managed to persuade the Flood Dragon Clan of Dragon Abyss Marsh to let these Great Demons tolerate their territorial expansion and power development here,"

"What is certain is that these Great Demons will absolutely not allow our Human Clan to truly take hold of this territory and turn it into a real human state!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhou Daoyi shook his head and spoke the truth calmly.

Why haven’t the various factions of Jingguo, knowing full well about the abundance of the Wasteland Territory, ever come to occupy and develop it?

Do low-level Loose Cultivators lack the strength to penetrate this area, or do the factions of Jingguo as well?

In reality, it has always been not about lacking the strength to develop, but rather about not being allowed to!

This Wasteland Territory serves as the default buffer zone recognized by both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan led by the Flood Dragon Clan of Dragon Abyss Marsh.

The human factions will not recklessly send people to claim and cultivate the land, and the Demon Clan will not wantonly slaughter into states like Jingguo.

Any forces bold enough to ignore this tacit agreement and attempt to claim and cultivate land here will be obliterated by the Great Demons of Dragon Abyss Marsh unless they have received permission from the Flood Dragon Clan like the Dragon Transformation Sect has.
