The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Caution and Carefulness Are the Foundations of Safety

Two Arms looked at the large group of Soul Star people and souls in bewilderment. It had been a long time since anyone had approached them. How could it be that suddenly, such a large crowd had appeared?

"Father... this isn't because I haven't been properly guarding the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array. It's been over twenty years since anyone came here. It just so happens that you arrived today, and they came too…" Two Arms said to Chu Xuan behind him, his voice carrying a tone of grievance.

Chu Xuan nodded. He had just transferred his spirit through the soul transmission matrix to Soul Star. Stepping out of the Yellow Springs Soul Refining Array, he witnessed this strange scene. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

"I know, you must have performed your duties well," Chu Xuan said casually. "Let's get to work then, it's about time for a meal. Four Arms, come out too."

Two Arms chuckled and swiftly dashed out. Four Arms barked twice and immediately followed.

Two Arms charged forward and, before the two Specter Kings could react, he effortlessly tore them into shreds. Then, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he plunged into the rest of the Husbandry Faction's souls. In the blink of an eye, all members of the Husbandry Faction were annihilated. Not a single one was left.

Yun Shen and the other surviving Soul Star people watched this scene in shock. It was incredibly fierce. Those were two Specter Kings, soul entities only second to the Great Specter King in strength, and they had been killed in an instant.

What faction did they belong to? The Slaughter Faction? But wasn't the Slaughter Faction composed entirely of madmen, especially known for their hatred of Soul Star people?

Logically, if these three spirits were from the Slaughter Faction, then they should have attacked them first. Yet, their targets were the members of the Husbandry Faction.

Yun Shen swallowed hard. Bowing his head respectfully, he said, "Greetings, senior. I am Yun Shen, a Soul Star person who has been kept by the Husbandry Faction. I was fortunate to escape a few days ago. Thank you for extending your help!"

Chu Xuan glanced at Yun Shen, "Keep this one, kill the rest."

In an instant, the remaining Soul Star people were torn to pieces.

A smile had just begun to form on Yun Shen's face, but it froze instantly.

"Senior..." Before he could continue, Chu Xuan employed the Soul Search technique, swiftly scouring through all of Yun Shen's memories.

After a moment, Chu Xuan nodded slightly. There wasn't much of value in Yun Shen's mind. He harbored no remorse for the actions of his noble ancestors towards the lower classes. Instead, he resented them for not having acted thoroughly enough, leading to a spectral uprising that cost him his privileged life.

"Indeed, as I suspected, all Soul Star people bear the original sin," Chu Xuan muttered, shaking his head.

The only useful information he extracted was about the city controlled by the Husbandry Faction, governed by three Specter Kings and home to countless Great Specters and lesser specters.

Capturing them could significantly bolster his Sky-Shielding Umbrella, possibly leading to the emergence of new ghost commanders and even uncovering advanced soul techniques of the Husbandry Faction.

Chu Xuan left Two Arms to guard the formation while he, accompanied by Four Arms, headed towards the city. His knowledge of Soul Star's history was already extensive; now, it was time to ascertain the true strength of these factions.

The Slaughter King of the Slaughter Faction had been growing stronger since his inception. Chu Xuan guessed it was now comparable in soul strength to a ghost commander.

Thus, he decided to cultivate more expendable forces to absorb the enemy's strength at the forefront. Moreover, gathering intelligence about the enemy was crucial—to truly know oneself and one's enemy ensured victory in every battle.

"Back on Blue Star, I was the strongest," Chu Xian reflected. "Subtly, I grew complacent and arrogant. I even brought this arrogance to Soul Star. Now, I realize I neglected the constant vigilance required in an alien battlefield. I must never let my guard down again."

"Being always cautious and careful is fundamental to securing one's existence," he reminded himself, recalling how complacency had led to others' downfall.

Chu Xian sighed deeply, engaging in a moment of self-reflection. Just then, Four Arms approached enthusiastically, his arms full of specters.

Chu Xian glanced over, "Any misses?"

Four Arms shook his head and barked, "Woof, woof, woof!"

Two Arms translated, "Four Arms says a few specters almost hid from him, but he found and devoured them."

Chu Xuan nodded in approval. Not a single one should be spared. The disappearance of all spectral and Soul Star beings in this city had nothing to do with him.

"Let's go," Chu Xian commanded, rising into the sky. He scattered a handful of blood beads, then released a stream of Corpse Refining Blood Fire.

With a roar, the fire exploded, engulfing the entire city. Soon, the Yellow Stone City was reduced to nothing but charred ruins. Even if the Husbandry Faction investigated later, they would find no trace of what had transpired.
