The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 91

Two hours later, the clearing at the base of Ironwire Mountain was littered with six bodies—each a Gu Master of the Thousand Insects Sect.

Drawn by the signal Chu Xuan had released, these cultivators had hurried to the location without hesitation, dropping all other activities. They arrived unprepared and walked into an ambush where Chu Xuan and his companions had been lying in wait, fully rested and ready.

The outcome was predictable.

Chu Xuan and his senior brothers reaped a rich harvest from this setup. Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong each killed a Gu Master while Chu Xuan, with his superior strength, swiftly eliminated two and then another two in a clash.

As for Zhou Yu, he ended up in a dire situation yet again, with two Ironwire Worms burrowing into his organs. He would have perished if not for Hu, who provided timely assistance.

"Six storage bags in total; we can divide them equally among the three of us," Chu Xuan suggested, handing over two of the four bags he acquired to Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong. They were taken aback by the gesture.

"Junior brother, these are your spoils," Liu Zhenxiong objected, shaking his head.

Chu Xuan smiled. "We jointly finished six Gu Masters. It wouldn't be right for me to keep everything. Besides, we are fellow sect members."

Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong reluctantly accepted the storage bags after these words.

Zhou Yu tentatively raised his hand, "I... I... would like one too..."

Chu Xuan grinned, "Has Fellow Daoist Zhou made up his mind? To nourish the corpse or the worms?"

Zhou Yu quickly withdrew his hand, shaking his head like a rattle, "Forget I said anything."

Chu Xuan smiled subtly. He had already acquired Chen Zhaofeng's storage bag. Aside from the top magic tool and various treasures bestowed upon Chen by the Hundred Gu Daoist, just the large amount of spirit stones was a tremendous gain. He had also secured the storage bags from the three Gu Masters he had killed earlier. Being too greedy would not be wise.

If Chu Xuan hadn't known Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong and if they hadn't been fellow sect members under Wan Wuying, perhaps he could have kept everything for himself without a word. Given his strength, neither would dare to complain.

However, considering their shared lineage and the fact that he had just killed Chen Zhaofeng, once highly esteemed by Wan Wuying, the complexities of internal sect relationships were too entangled. It was safer to share some of the spoils to keep potential complaints at bay—after all, 'He who receives a benefit should never forget it.'

After scouring Ironwire Mountain clean, the group swiftly departed, riding the Heavenly Star Flying Sword back to the territory of the Extreme Yin Cave. Before leaving, they didn't forget about the Foundation Establishment cultivator Liu Zhenxiong had nailed down. Once Chu Xuan learned that it was this individual who had provided the erroneous information that led to their initial trouble, he didn't hesitate to execute him and toss him into the Corpse Nurturing Tower.

...

In the cavernous depths of the Extreme Yin Cave, within the sanctum of Master Wan Wuying, Chu Xuan and his two companions entered in succession, each kneeling on one knee before their master.

Wu Teng had been waiting inside the cave for some time. Master Wan's gaze swept past Li Xuanming and Liu Zhenxiong, finally resting on Chu Xuan.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

He snorted coldly, the oppressive aura of a Golden Core cultivator bursting forth, settling like a mountain upon Chu Xuan's shoulders, rendering him breathless.

Master Wan's voice was stern, "So, you return to report only after the deed is done—commendable indeed!" He barked, "Tell me, Chu Xuan, did you kill Chen Zhaofeng out of jealousy?"

Chu Xuan responded firmly, "No, Master, I acted to purge our sect of dishonor!"

Master Wan scoffed with icy mockery, "How righteously you phrase it! Look at me, Chu Xuan, did you desire the top-grade magic tool he possessed so intensely that it drove you to murder?"

Chu Xuan met Master Wan's piercing eyes without hesitation. "Yes, I indeed coveted that top-grade magic tool."
