The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 31

Liu Zhenxiong remained noncommittal towards Xu Ming's demeanor. It was normal for there to be minor friction among disciples, and he had no desire to waste time on such trivial matters.

"Ouyang Hao was injured and repelled by Chu Xuan. Once again, the Divine Star Sect will undoubtedly conduct a thorough investigation of the Peace Market and its vicinity. During this period, you all must hide well. Without my orders, stay in the secret chambers and do not come out," Liu Zhenxiong commanded sternly.

"Yes," the disciples nodded in agreement.

...

Ten days later.

As expected, cultivators from the Divine Star Sect arrived at the Peace Market to investigate Ouyang Hao's whereabouts. The group was notably large, including three Foundation Establishment stage elders and more than ten Qi Refining stage disciples.

These cultivators turned Peace Market and the surrounding area upside down. Even the local cultivators dared not venture onto the streets, fearing the wrath of the Divine Star Sect cultivators.

The investigation continued for three days. Even Wu Teng, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Wu family, was brought in for questioning. However, despite their efforts, they discovered little substance and left in a huff.

Wu Teng returned to the Wu family estate and immediately sought out Liu Zhenxiong.

Liu Zhenxiong was puzzled. "Brother Wu, it was just Ouyang Hao getting injured. Yet, the Divine Star Sect spent three full days investigating here."

"Injured? He's missing! It's as if he's dead. Which disciple from your Infinite Sect was responsible for this?" Wu Teng responded irritably. "To think someone dared to kill a person favored by the great elder of the Divine Star Sect?"

"Missing?" Liu Zhenxiong exclaimed in surprise.

Wu Teng sighed, "If it weren't for Ouyang Hao's disappearance, would they have dispatched three Foundation Establishment stage elders and over a dozen Qi Refining stage disciples to investigate? If not for my extensive experience, the Wu family estate might have been turned inside out."

Liu Zhenxiong scratched his head, perplexed. This was not as he had imagined. He had always thought that Chu Xuan had merely injured Ouyang Hao, who, knowing he was no match, had fled. But now, it seemed that was not the case.

Chu Xuan had outright killed Ouyang Hao and even taken his body!

This revelation made him realize he had underestimated Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan's true realm might very well be the ninth level of Qi Refining!

"Brother Liu, I can't handle this much longer. You must inform your disciples not to cause any more trouble. I have always served as a secret informant for the Infinite Sect, passing on information about the Divine Star Sect. I cannot withstand their repeated investigations. If it comes to it, you'll have to leave and find another place," Wu Teng said helplessly.

Liu Zhenxiong nodded repeatedly, "Alright, Brother Wu, rest assured, I will certainly speak to them."

He returned to the courtyard where he resided and overheard Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and others discussing in low voices.

"Ouyang Hao is dead!"

"It's said that he disappeared, not died."

"What's the difference between missing and dead? Didn't the Divine Star Sect dispatch three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to investigate?"

"Who killed Ouyang Hao, could it possibly be Senior Brother Chu Xuan?"

Seeing Liu Zhenxiong return, several disciples quickly rose to greet him.

Liu Zhenxiong sighed lightly, "You all know already?"

Chen Ge nodded, "The news is buzzing everywhere. Even though we stayed within the estate, we learned of it from the servants of the Wu family."
