The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 402

At the same time, Shang Xingchen also noticed Chu Xuan's gaze. He subtly glanced over. Though he couldn't see through Chu Xuan's disguise, he instinctively sensed that the eighth leader, Chen Jin, shared something in common with him. They were both pretenders.

A face could be disguised, but a person's aura was much harder to mask completely. Especially for someone like Chu Xuan, with whom Shang Xingchen had collaborated many times before.

Aside from not knowing Chu Xuan's hidden trump cards, everything else was crystal clear to him. To put it dramatically, even if Chu Xuan turned into a woman, Shang Xingchen would still be able to detect that unique aura of his.

Chu Xuan also noticed that the two seasoned manipulators exchanged a subtle glance, and in that moment, they silently reached a mutual understanding.

The leaders exited the cabin and arrived on the deck, preparing to return to their respective ships.

Sima Zhen suddenly spoke up. "Eighth Brother, how is the repair of my longbow magic treasure coming along?"

Chu Xuan smiled. "It's almost done on my ship. Do you need it now, Second Brother?"

The eighth leader, Chen Jin, was slightly skilled in crafting tools, but his abilities were limited to repairing mid- to high-grade magic treasures. He couldn't handle high-grade magic treasures.

Sima Zhen indeed had a longbow magic treasure, which he had entrusted to Chen Jin for repairs a long time ago. But Chen Jin had dragged his feet, claiming the reward was too little and delaying the work.

Sima Zhen patted Shang Xingchen's shoulder. "You go with Eighth Brother and bring the magic treasure back."

"Yes." Shang Xingchen nodded and followed behind Chu Xuan.

...

Moments later, inside the ship's cabin.

The two exchanged glances, but neither spoke first.

After a while, Shang Xingchen suddenly laughed. "Fellow Daoist Chu, your progress in the Poison Path is astonishing. The poisons I just refined couldn't even harm you in the slightest."

Chu Xuan chuckled. "Fellow Daoist Shang is not bad yourself. My Gu insects can't even approach you."

The two had already engaged in several secret contests of poison and Gu techniques in just a short time in the cabin.After all, this was the best way to confirm each other's identity.

Shang Xingchen sighed. "Wei Ji said you were as good as dead. I didn't expect you to make it out of the Nether Fire Valley alive."

Chu Xuan smiled. "Fellow Daoist Shang, you too, didn't I hear that True Master Yin plans to sell both of you in the Starshatter Sea? Two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators—whether for corpse refining or ghost forging, you two would fetch quite a high price there."

Shang Xingchen shrugged. "Wei Ji really did get captured. He's still on Sima Zhen's ship. And his storage bag was taken by Pei Yuankui."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh softly and nodded in acknowledgment. Wei Ji's capture hadn't exceeded his expectations. He continued, "So, Sima Zhen seems to be listening to your words?"

Shang Xingchen replied, "He's a descendant of a senior brother from my Nether Dao Sect. After the Sect's downfall, he came to the Starshatter Sea. He's now desperately seeking a way to escape the clutches of True Master Yin."

He added, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I have a way to break free from True Master Yin. Would you be willing to join me?"

Chu Xuan's heart stirred slightly. "Speak, I'm listening."

Shang Xingchen smiled. "Our Nether Dao Sect has a small faction of cultivators who've managed to establish a foothold in the Starshatter Sea. They've gained some strength. We've long had communication through a sound transmission jade, but due to the vast distance, it hasn't been effective. Now, with the Nine Yin Island fleet so close to the Starshatter Sea, I've managed to contact several from the Yellow Spring Island and informed them of True Master Yin's injury, caused by the Netherfire King."
