The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 - Research

Shang Xingchen smiled. "Sect Master, to ensure you don't suspect I had any intentions of silencing him, I've waited for quite a while. Shall I perform the soul search, or will you do it?"

Chu Xuan nodded. "I'll handle it."

Soul searching was something one should do personally.

Shang Xingchen's Spiritual Qi surged as he pushed Lu Ren toward Chu Xuan.

With a swift motion, Chu Xuan reached out and enveloped Lu Ren with his Spiritual Qi, effortlessly neutralizing the poison in his body. However, he did not immediately begin the soul search. After all, performing such a technique would reduce his sensitivity to the outside world.

He didn't want Shang Xingchen watching him as he worked.

Chu Xuan turned to Shang Xingchen. "How did you come to know this person was a traitor?"

Shang Xingchen smiled. "Cao Meren is one of mine. Given the Sect Master's cautious nature, I assume there must be someone among the Orthodox Alliance who is loyal to you as well?"

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

Shang Xingchen was indeed impressive, moving faster than he had, and even more cleverly waiting here, not using the soul search technique himself to avoid raising suspicion.

Chu Xuan casually probed, "It seems, Elder Shang, you detest traitors even more than I do."

Shang Xingchen was the first to act, clearly more eager than anyone to prevent information about Mystic Azure Star from leaking out.

Shang Xingchen smiled. "The Reincarnation Divine Sect and I have a deep enmity, a matter of life and death. Rest assured, Sect Master. I, Shang Xingchen, will never stand with the Reincarnation Divine Sect. Sect Master wishes for peace and stability on Mystic Azure Star, and so do I."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

A kindred spirit. With that, he was reassured.

...

The next day.

Shang Xingchen arrived at the grand hall of the sect.

Chu Xuan handed him a list. "Elder Shang, this is for you."

Shang Xingchen smiled and nodded. "Sect Master, rest assured, it is my duty to eradicate the traitors."

That very day, a team of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators stormed the peaks and caves, rooting out those within the sect who harbored ill intentions toward the Mystic Azure Realm.

In the end, all the traitors were publicly executed.

Among the crowd, Yuan Zichu and Zhu Yuqiao also witnessed Wu Dalang's decapitation.

Zhu Yuqiao's heart tightened. "I never expected him to be a traitor..."

She instinctively grasped Yuan Zichu's hand tightly. The thought that someone so close to her, sharing her pillow, could be a traitor, filled her with an innate fear.

Yuan Zichu also tightened his grip on her hand. With Wu Dalang's death, he no longer needed to sneak around with Zhu Yuqiao, discussing the way of formations.

Whether in the pill furnace, in the ice cave, or anywhere else...

He could be with her wherever he wanted, no longer having to worry about Wu Dalang catching them.

But... why did it still feel so wrong?

Yuan Zichu clicked his tongue, his gaze involuntarily falling upon the graceful Nascent Soul Elder Liu Ruoshui.

He pondered deeply.

...

Reincarnation Divine Sect.

The cultivator respectfully handed him a jade slip.

Situ Kong took the slip and infused it with Spiritual Qi. Immediately, the voice of Lu Ren echoed from within.

"Holy Son, Feather Transformation Heaven Palace has been destroyed, and the new sect established is called the Heavenly Infinite Sect."

"The Heavenly Infinite Sect's leader, Chu Xuan, was previously an unknown figure—just a Qi Refining cultivator from the Infinite Sect. He later joined the Extreme Yin Cave lineage and merged with the Heavenly Seal Sect. For a time, his whereabouts were unknown. During the Mystic Azure War, he suddenly rose to prominence, and his methods were..."

Situ Kong's eyes brightened. He was about to listen more carefully when a sudden scream pierced the air. The transmission abruptly cut off.

Situ Kong froze in shock. The Golden Core cultivator who had handed him the jade slip also went stiff.

What...? It cut off right here? Why didn't you continue speaking!? What exactly are Chu Xuan's methods?!

Situ Kong's face darkened to an extreme degree. He could easily guess that Lu Ren's true identity had been discovered. The transmission had been cut off midway because Lu Ren had been captured.

"Useless fool!"

Situ Kong's expression grew colder than ice.

The Golden Core cultivator trembled and after a long pause finally spoke, "Holy Son, the Ancestor has always wanted to know what happened on Mystic Azure Star..." _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Situ Kong snapped irritably, "I know! I don't need you to remind me!"

The Golden Core cultivator quickly half-knelt, shrinking his neck in fear.

Situ Kong took several deep breaths, managing to calm his emotions with great effort.

"At least we now know about the Heavenly Infinite Sect and that Chu Xuan. Investigate! I want a full report!"

"The collapse of the extraterritorial battlefield—there must be Mystic Azure Star cultivators scattered across other cultivation worlds. Use all available methods! Find out everything about this person!"

"Yes, this subordinate will go immediately!"
