The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Huikong the Slayer of Yun Zhongyu

In Righteous Dao City, dawn had already broken. Yuan Zichu walked along the main north-south street, noting immediately that the number of cultivators who had returned to the city had greatly diminished. Many bore injuries, and presumably, a significant number had met their end near the Great Chasm.

Yuan Zichu sighed softly. He had anticipated the grave and terrifying stakes involved and had chosen not to vie for them. Thus, he had survived. Moreover, as a Golden Core period talisman master of notable accomplishment who consistently made good connections, few harbored ill intentions toward him.

Yuan Zichu settled himself at the Cloudy Tea House, only to discover some disorder within. After inquiring, he learned that the tea house's owner had participated in the battle at the Great Chasm and had died in a deserted corner.

Now, the tea house was temporarily maintained by a few of the original owner's disciples. Although it appeared normal on the surface, these disciples were also quarreling over the division of the property.

The Cloudy Tea House, established nearly four hundred years ago, was a reputable old establishment in Righteous Dao City. If the property were truly divided, it would likely lose many loyal customers. Yuan Zichu shook his head slightly and sat by the window to drink tea.

He had cultivated a unique spiritual sense secret technique that allowed him to overhear others' conversations. The cultivators in the tea house were gathered in small groups, discussing secrets, merely muffling their voices without being overly cautious like guarding against thieves.

Of course, truly secret matters would never be discussed in the tea house's main hall; a private room would be chosen for confidential talks.

Thus, Yuan Zichu could absorb the surrounding conversations without effort. Most cultivators talked about their personal and family experiences. However, a discussion between two cultivators caught Yuan Zichu's interest.

"...That night was incredible. To my knowledge, both the old patriarch of the Bai family and the old patriarch of the Qin family have gone missing. Only the old patriarch of the Duan family managed to escape back to Righteous Dao City, though it's said he was injured, severity unknown."

"I've heard more than that! The Nascent Soul high monk Miaoxin from Celestial Sound Zen Temple is also missing. However, Shangguan Hao from Majestic Sword Sect and Wei Ji from Feather Transformation Heaven Palace both survived."

"Ah? So many Nascent Soul cultivators died, who did it?"

Another cultivator joined the conversation.

"Of course, it was Yun Zhongyu from the Reincarnation Divine Sect! He fought with the old patriarch Lei Mingyang of the Lei family, forcing Lei Mingyang to abandon his physical body and flee with his Nascent Soul!"

"To think that a Nascent Soul cultivator would abandon his entire foundation just to save his life, tsk tsk, that Yun Zhongyu's terror is unspeakable!"

The cultivators all sighed in admiration.

"We cultivators should strive to be formidable beings like Yun Zhongyu! To act unbridled and do as we please!"

Yuan Zichu sipped his tea, his expression calm. Ever since the disciples of the Reincarnation Divine Sect arrived in Righteous Dao City, he knew that the battle for the Deity Transformation cave's treasures must have reached a decisive conclusion.

With Yun Zhongyu's astonishing strength, it was no surprise that he was the one who laughed last. Had Yuan Zichu risked joining the fray for the cave's spiritual treasures, he would have likely ended up just another soul under Yun Zhongyu's sword.

"There were no surprises… However, the power structure of Righteous Dao City is about to change," he mused. "The Duan family will surely absorb the Bai and Qin families. Fortunately, I had accepted an invitation from the Duan family earlier and became their venerated guest."

Yuan Zichu felt somewhat melancholic. He had nearly made the wrong choice back then due to the generous offers from the Bai and Qin families.

"Time to go back and draw talismans. I've heard enough," Yuan Zichu decided, standing to leave. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

"Heh heh heh, Yun Zhongyu is strong, but there is someone even stronger than him!"

A one-eyed cultivator who had just drained his bowl of spirit tea suddenly let out a sinister laugh. The other cultivators looked at him in surprise. The man continued to drink his tea silently, clearly enjoying keeping others in suspense.
