"In the north, the Zombie Empress continues to expand her territory, but instead of heading south, she is moving westward, where she has encountered the expanding man-eating vines..."
"Additionally, there's a faction known as Science City rapidly growing, commanding at least thirty Superhumans and absorbing remnants of the Linjiang Army, also locking horns with the Zombie Empress..."
"In the east... only a few scattered factions exist, with just two or three Superhumans."
"Current situation from Black Blade: eleven Level One Superhumans, five Level Two Superhumans, two Level Three Superhumans, overseeing over three thousand survivors."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly as he read.
It seemed that Wang Gang and his team truly valued the opportunity he had given them initially. They were handling things systematically.
Originally, Chu Xuan had some thoughts about the Zombie Empress. However, the Zombie Matriarch had already been nurtured into a Level Five zombie, and it was foreseeable that her rank would continue to rise. The Zombie Empress was probably even more formidable now.
Chu Xuan had lost interest in dealing with that creature.
As for the formations and collapses of other Superhuman factions, he regarded them as no more interesting than children playing house.
"Continue researching the Venom Scripture..."
Chu Xuan spread out the scrolls and studied them attentively.
...
Mystic Azure Realm, one month later.
Chu Xuan received another report from Chen Ge.
With Chu Xuan's approval, most of this report focused on the underground ruins of the Misty Mountains.
Chen Ge was proficient in his work. He had sent people directly to the nameless market outside the underground ruins, continuously spending money to gather intelligence. This was the only way to present the most complete, detailed, and up-to-date information to Chu Xuan as quickly as possible.
"The largest entrance to the underground ruins, located in the Bullhorn Mountain of the Misty Mountains, is now occupied by the Divine Star Sect."
"The remaining large entrances are located on several other peaks, some occupied by the Divine Star Sect, and others by the Heavenly Seal Sect and the Imperial Spirit Mountain."
"The Mystical Sound Palace and the Golden Dragon Temple have already had Golden Core cultivators arrive at the Misty Mountains. The orthodox sects are on the verge of conflict, likely to escalate into open conflict."
"The first batch of cultivators to enter the underground ruins numbered fifty to sixty people. Fewer than a handful survived, and without exception, these survivors reaped rich rewards."
"Some were recruited by the Divine Star Sect, while others were killed by major sect cultivators for refusing to hand over spiritual objects."
Chu Xuan pondered.
It appeared that within those underground ruins lay treasures enticing enough to attract Golden Core cultivators. Otherwise, it wouldn't have drawn Golden Core cultivators from all five orthodox sects, nearly causing them to fight each other.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Given this situation, he couldn't afford to take unnecessary risks.
Chu Xuan continued reading.
The latest intelligence report arrived two days ago.
Chu Xuan's gaze sharpened as he read it.
"The orthodox sects have announced today that they will allow minor sect disciples and loose cultivators to enter the underground ruins, but each person must pay a price of thirty small spiritual stones."
"Allow?" Chu Xuan shook his head in disbelief. "If the treasures inside the underground ruins are truly as rumored, how could the orthodox sects possibly give other cultivators such an opportunity? They would prefer to seal off the entire Misty Mountains, preventing anyone from entering, not even a bug's egg."
"The orthodox sects are far from being true cultivators of 'righteousness'," he continued. "And the major sect cultivators are far from being noble. This sudden move must have some ulterior motive."
