The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Duan Fengxian

Duan Que's expression shifted rapidly. He had always known that the Celestial Sound Zen Temple held disdain for heterodox Buddhist practices, but he hadn't expected them to escalate to such an extent—to the point of drawing blades immediately.

Gritting his teeth, Duan Que stepped between Yuanming and Chu Xuan.

"Master Yuanming, in these troubled times, it is better to avoid additional conflicts," Duan Que advised. "Moreover, both Master Huikong and yourself are endowed with considerable virtue…"

Yuanming's smile was ambiguous, and Chu Xuan remained silent, his hands secretly readying a spell. If Yuanming insisted on a confrontation, Chu Xuan would not hesitate to send them both to meet the Celestial Sound Buddha in the Western Paradise.

Of course, killing them would certainly blow his cover, making it impossible to remain in Righteous Dao City or assist the cultivators entering the Deity Transformation Cave in collecting corpses. Unless absolutely necessary, Chu Xuan would not initiate a fight. He was acutely aware of where his true interests lay.

The standoff continued, and just as Duan Que began to sweat from his forehead, Yuanming sheathed his ringed sabers and turned to leave. "You should feel fortunate; your virtue has saved your life today."

The two monks from the Celestial Sound Zen Temple gradually moved away and eventually disappeared from sight. Duan Que finally exhaled in relief. The tension had been so high he feared they might start fighting right then and there.

Duan Que managed a helpless smile. "Master Huikong, the Celestial Sound Zen Temple is known for its domineering ways; please don't take it personally."

Chu Xuan smiled and brought his hands together in a prayer gesture. "The Golden Dragon Temple promotes forming good connections; how could I possibly blame them?"

Duan Que sensed there was something deeper in Chu Xuan's words but couldn't pinpoint what it was, so he let the matter drop.

Chu Xuan watched the now-vanished figures of the two monks from the Celestial Sound Zen Temple, his expression as still as an ancient well. The first he would slay when the time came would be this Yuanming and the monks from the Celestial Sound Zen Temple.

Chu Xuan and Duan Que returned to Righteous Dao City. Duan Que still had duties to fulfill and soon left the city again. However, given his somewhat lax attitude towards his duties, he would likely find another cool spot to continue exploring the hundred fighting postures of naked men and women.

The monks from Celestial Sound Zen Temple and the Duan family continued their search outside for the demonic cultivator. It was common knowledge that a demonic cultivator, steeped in evil deeds, could not enter Righteous Dao City; the very act of trying would expose and eliminate him. They were convinced that the egregiously wicked demonic cultivator must still be outside the city.

Yet, despite scouring the land within a two-hundred-li radius of Righteous Dao City, disturbing many Nether Crocodiles in their caves in the process, they still could not find any trace of the demonic cultivator.

"This scoundrel really is cunning."

After listening to the reports from his junior brothers, Yuanming scoffed coldly.

"Senior brother, what do we do now? Should we continue the search?" one of the monks from the Celestial Sound Zen Temple inquired. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

After a moment's thought, Yuanming responded, "At dawn tomorrow, secure the temporary market. Keep a close watch on everyone. The demonic cultivator might not show up himself, but it's possible he might send someone else to sell his goods on his behalf. Anyone selling demonic pills or talismans must be detained for questioning."

"Yes!" his subordinates replied.

Of course, they were mistaken. The demonic cultivator they assumed was hiding in a cave outside the city, steeped in evil deeds, had already nonchalantly walked into Righteous Dao City.

Back in his dwelling after his return, Chu Xuan immediately traveled to Blue Star, summoning the core leadership of Black Blade. He distributed several inferior physical cultivation techniques among them.

These techniques varied; some specialized in defense, others in offense, some in speed, and others focused on vitality maintenance. He intentionally withheld the advancements of these techniques, distributing only enough to reach the tenth level of body refinement.

Superhumans on Blue Star had been stuck at level nine for a long time, with all seeking ways to ascend to higher echelons but never finding the right path. Chu Xuan's gifts were like opening doors to a new world for them.
