Wasteland Territory, Jade Mining Mountain Base.

Zhou Chun had been here recuperating for over a year by now.

Ever since he wrote to the Moon Wheel Sect and the Sunflame Sect, expressing his willingness to offer a peerless Dharma Treasure, neither sect had pressured him or continued to send people to the Green Lotus Mountain Range, seemingly tacitly approving his statement.

Of course, more specific matters would still require him to go and negotiate with the two sects in person after his recovery.

The high-level leaders of the sects might be curious about how he managed to kill Master Qingwei, who possessed a peerless Dharma Treasure, and about how much he gained at Tongmu Ridge.

Moreover, it was unclear whether the two sects intentionally concealed and controlled public opinion, as the news of the Green Lotus Temple's extermination had not spread in Jingguo Country.

From this, it could be seen that these two sects did not have the intention to severely punish the Zhou Family using this incident.

Otherwise, they could have spread the word and used public opinion to justifiably impose severe punishment on the Zhou Family.

Zhou Chun was also aware of this, so he had not moved his position for more than a year, focusing solely on recuperating.

Now, after more than a year of quiet recovery, his injuries had healed significantly and no longer affected normal travel.

However, to create the impression that he was severely injured in that battle, he did not plan to reveal himself yet.

He simply calmed his mind and continued to recuperate and cultivate at the Jade Mining Mountain Base, while also practicing the latter parts of the Heart Lotus Scripture.

This Heart Lotus Scripture had five levels, the third level requiring the Golden Core Stage to successfully cultivate, and the fifth requiring the Nascent Soul Stage to master!

Zhou Chun had successfully cultivated the third layer of the Heart Lotus Scripture many years ago, but lacking the subsequent cultivation methods, he had been unable to break through further.

Now having obtained the complete secret technique, he took the opportunity to comprehend the cultivation method of the fourth layer, striving to master it before transforming elixir and forming an infant.

Another three years passed, and Zhou Chun's injuries were fully healed. Moreover, the Golden Winged Tiger had consumed the Demon Core and advanced to a middle-grade Fourth Order Demon Beast.

Only then did he set off for the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate.

Upon arriving at the Moon Wheel Sect, Zhou Chun quickly met Baiyue True Person.

After some polite conversation with Baiyue True Person, he was escorted to meet the Moon Wheel Sect's Supreme Elder, Yinyue True Person.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun, pays respects to Yinyue True Person."

Inside Yinyue True Person's cave, Zhou Chun, upon entering, bowed and paid his respects to the one sitting on the cloud bed.

This was Zhou Chun's first time seeing Yinyue True Person up close, but he dared not look at the figure for even a moment.

After completing his salute, Yinyue True Person did not immediately ask him to rise, instead looking him over with a piercing gaze, as if wanting to see through him.

In the face of such a situation, Zhou Chun did not appear particularly nervous, simply maintaining his posture without moving, allowing the other party to scrutinize him.

After sizing him up for a moment, Yinyue True Person waved his hand with a smile and said, "Little Friend Zhou, no need for formalities, rise and speak."

"Yes, thank you, Senior."

Zhou Chun responded, then straightened up, slightly lowering his head and waiting for the next instruction.

Yinyue True Person said faintly, "The annihilation of Green Lotus Temple's remaining lineage, Little Friend Zhou, you might have gone a bit too far. Taoist Friend Qingxiao sacrificed himself to banish demons for the Alliance and Jingguo Country. Since the Zhou Family had already occupied the Green Lotus Mountain Range, why did you need to exterminate them completely?"

At first glance, it seemed as though he was prepared to blame Zhou Chun.

But if that were truly the case, Zhou Chun would not be here at this moment.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Zhou Chun remained completely composed and respectfully replied, "Senior, please discern, Qingxiao True Person's noble sacrifice to banish demons is something this junior profoundly admires!"

After finishing his words, his tone deepened, "Yet it was no justification for Master Qingwei and others to perpetrate evil!"

His voice became passionate as he declared, "This junior, insignificant as he may be, also fought valiantly to slay demons during the Immortal-Demon War, personally killing countless wicked demons and evil cultivators, only to be thereafter oppressed and humiliated by Master Qingwei and others, and narrowly escaping assassination by his hired killers!"

"Since the Green Lotus Temple wronged this junior first, this junior is obliged to return grievance with grievance and repay an eye for an eye!"

Having said this, Zhou Chun looked at Yinyue True Person with a calm demeanor and a clear conscience.

As he anticipated, Yinyue True Person, after a slight flicker in his eyes, suddenly let out a long sigh, "Ah! Back then, Taoist Friend Qingxiao was extraordinarily talented, yet his descendants are so ineffective and shortsighted, to be exterminated by a young generation. It seems the Green Lotus Temple was destined to face this calamity indeed!"

With that, he waved his hand, "Alright, alright, since things have come to this, I will not meddle in this affair. You may withdraw now!"

"Yes, thank you, Senior, for your understanding. Junior takes his leave!"

Feeling a weight lifted, Zhou Chun respectfully bowed and withdrew.

Soon after, in the main hall of the Moon Wheel Sect's leader, Zhou Chun once again encountered Baiyue True Person there.

He saw Baiyue True Person's eyes sparkle as he looked at him, speaking with a tone full of astonishment, "Taoist Friend Zhou truly exhibits remarkable methods. As this seat knows, both Master Qingwei and Master Qingling had middle-stage Golden Core cultivation, wielded peerless Dharma Treasures and Fifth Order Talismans, and were assisted by grand arrays, yet Taoist Friend still managed to slay them single-handedly, annihilating their entire sect. Truly astonishing and shocking!"

Baiyue True Person was genuinely amazed by Zhou Chun's achievement.

Previously, during the Beast Tide, Zhou Chun displayed impressive prowess, but in Baiyue True Person's eyes, who possessed a peerless Dharma Treasure, Zhou Chun might not have necessarily been a match.
