The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 371

Shang Xuanhe let out a soft sigh. "Living in the Heavenly Metal Battlefield has become increasingly difficult. It's hard to find any other strongholds around here. The medium spiritual stone mine I'm staying at is still holding up, but it's barely manageable. If fellow daoist Xiao doesn't mind, you can bring your junior brother here to stay for a while. Or, you can stay with fellow daoist Qiu here. Once we find another stronghold or discover a new spiritual stone vein, we can move again."

Qiu Wanhong nodded. "My Cold Ironwood Forest is vast. I can accommodate two more people. But, over time, the Spiritual Qi will gradually deplete."

Xiao Xian looked touched. "Thank you, fellow daoist Shang, and thank you, fellow daoist Qiu!" He understood that Qiu Wanhong's words hinted that the forest was becoming crowded and the Spiritual Qi was running low.

Qiu Wanhong's eyes glinted as she spoke again. "Fellow daoist Xiao, I do know of a good place."

Xiao Xian nodded, "Please, fellow daoist Qiu, do tell."

Qiu Wanhong gestured to the south. "Outside Heaven-Three City, there is a great spiritual stone mine, but it is now occupied by the Heavenly Infinite Sect's demonic cultivator, Chu Xuan. This person killed Song Lingfeng, fellow daoist Song of Red Flame Pavilion, and then took control of the great spiritual stone mine. We have the heart to remove the enemy, but lack the strength to do so. If fellow daoist Xiao is willing to join us and eliminate this demonic cultivator, we can take control of the mine together. The spiritual stones will be divided evenly among us."

Xiao Xian suddenly stood up, his face full of fury. "What?! Senior Brother Song was killed by that demonic cultivator?! This grudge cannot go unpunished! I, Xiao Xian, swear that if I do not kill Chu Xuan, I will not be human!" He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, as if he could tear Chu Xuan apart with his bare hands.

Shang Xuanhe coughed lightly, drawing their attention. "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I never said anything about attacking the great spiritual stone mine."

Qiu Wanhong immediately furrowed her brows. "Why? This is a demonic cultivator, and such people must be eradicated! Moreover, I have gathered information that Chu Xuan is the only one there. The other two members of the Heavenly Infinite Sect, Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji, have taken control of another medium spiritual stone mine. There must be some discord among these three, which is why they are not working together. If we attack Chu Xuan, Shang Xingchen and Wei Ji are highly unlikely to come to his aid."

Shang Xuanhe shook his head. "Right now, we should focus on addressing the issue of the declining Spiritual Qi in the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, and find a way to reverse it. Though orthodox and demonic cultivators stand opposed, we must still make use of their strength. Endless fighting—what good does it do?"

Qiu Wanhong sneered. "If you don't kill him, he will kill you!"

Shang Xuanhe sighed deeply. "Fellow Daoist Qiu, fellow daoist Xiao, I shall take my leave." He slowly rose and flicked his sleeves as he turned to leave, clearly feeling that there was no point in continuing the conversation.

Qiu Wanhong watched his retreating figure, then snorted coldly. Turning back to Xiao Xian, her expression softened again, becoming friendly and warm.

Qiu Wanhong smiled faintly. "I can provide fellow daoist Xiao with an early-stage Nascent Soul puppet beast. You can go and probe Chu Xuan's strength first. Once we know more, we can decide on our next move."

Xiao Xian subtly glanced at the departing Shang Xuanhe, seemingly deep in thought. "Alright, then I and my junior brother will stay with fellow daoist Qiu for a few days to rest and recover. Once our injuries are healed, we will go and test Chu Xuan's strength."

Qiu Wanhong nodded with a smile. "Good!"

Meanwhile, Shang Xuanhe stepped out of the Cold Ironwood Forest. Kang Jia was waiting for him outside. He asked, "Senior Brother, how did it go?"

Nascent Soul-level spells couldn't leave a single trace on the surface. It was likely that only someone with the power of Deity Transformation could damage the outer layer of the tree roots. But that would consume a huge amount of Spiritual Qi.

Within the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, there were only two Deity Transformation cultivators: Heavenly River True Master and Tian Mozi Daoist. Convincing them to take such a self-sacrificial action would likely be almost impossible.

Chu Xuan shook his head and turned to return to the great spirit stone mine. Since this array was like this, others must be the same. If destroying the arrays was impossible, he could only temporarily maintain the status quo.

"Hm? Something's happening?"

Chu Xuan picked up the Heart-Linking Stone hanging from his waist and noticed a new mark had appeared on it. He immediately headed to the agreed-upon location. Soon, he spotted Shang Xingchen standing at the designated spot from a distance. However, he didn't approach immediately. Instead, he waited for quite some time.

It wasn't until he used the spiritual sense secret method and confirmed there were no possible ambushes in the area that he finally made his appearance. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

The Heart-Linking Stone was his communication method with Shang Xingchen, but it could also be used by Shang Xingchen to set a trap for him. Their cooperation was entirely based on an equal footing of strength.

Though Chu Xuan felt that Shang Xingchen wouldn't turn on him so quickly, it was always wise to remain vigilant.
