Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds

Chen Ge suddenly pointed at the head of a middle-aged cultivator and exclaimed in shock.

"That head! I recognize it! It's Wei Peng, the ninth-ranked inner disciple of the Divine Gang Sect! This guy is a Qi Refining stage level seven expert!"

"Back then, two of our inner disciples were killed by Wei Peng!"

Xu Ming, Wei Hua, and the others cast their gaze over and were equally astonished.

Wei Peng, at the Qi Refining stage level seven, was far stronger than them.

And now he was dead?

Moreover, judging by the surroundings, there seemed to be little sign of a battle.

Clearly, these three had almost no power to resist and were easily killed.

Who could have done this?

Chen Ge swallowed hard, "Do you think... is it possible, I mean just possible, that Senior Brother Chu did this?"

Xu Ming immediately denied it, "Impossible, Chu Xuan is only at the Qi Refining stage level four, at most he could take down a level five cultivator."

"Besides, there are three of them here, how could he fight three alone and kill them so easily?"

"I think it would take at least a Qi Refining stage level eight cultivator to instantly kill these three."

Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others thought about it and agreed it was impossible.

Xu Ming said excitedly, "Let's go, no matter who killed them, it's to our benefit."

"We can thank that expert once we're in a safe place."

Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others nodded, "You're right, let's go."

The five of them quickened their pace and swiftly disappeared into the forest.

...

On the other side.

Chu Xuan had long since left the Wu Family Manor.

He didn't enter any mortal villages or towns; instead, after confirming he was far enough away, he found a small mountain and took over a bear's cave.

As for the cave's original owner, he politely invited it into his stomach.

Chu Xuan stirred his spiritual power, sweeping away the filth and stench from the cave.

Then he concealed the entrance of the cave before sitting down cross-legged, eagerly checking his gains from this trip.

First, of course, was his storage bag.

Inside his storage bag were the Blood Transformation Formation and over a hundred small spirit stones.

These small spirit stones were exchanged with the thirty blood pearls from Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others.

"Previously, blood pearls were priced at two small spirit stones each, but now they've risen to three."

"Tsk tsk, it seems they really have little opportunity to hunt demonic beasts and mortals to refine blood pearls."

Chu Xuan shifted his gaze to the side.

The low-grade storage bags of these three Divine Gang Sect disciples were what he was really looking forward to.

After all, they were like mystery boxes.

Who knows, there might be something good inside!

Chu Xuan opened the storage bags of the three one by one.

A gleam flashed in his eyes.

The storage bags of the two Qi Refining stage level five disciples were rather ordinary.

Only three or four hundred small spirit stones and standard spiritual artifacts bestowed by the Divine Gang Sect.

However, the storage bag of the Qi Refining stage level seven disciple contained two medium spirit stones! Over eight hundred small spirit stones!

In addition, there was a Gathering Spirit Array and a Maze Array, both ideal for establishing a cave dwelling.

Besides these, Chu Xuan unexpectedly discovered something else.

He suddenly took this item out of the storage bag.

It was a pitch-black banner exuding dense Yin energy.

Listening closely, one could hear the wailing and lamenting of countless vengeful spirits within.

It sent chills down one's spine.

"Ten Thousand Souls Banner? Interesting."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a high-grade spiritual artifact.

Generally, Qi Refining stage cultivators could at most possess low-grade or mid-grade spiritual artifacts.

Only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could obtain high-grade or top-grade spiritual artifacts.

Unexpectedly, this Divine Gang Sect disciple possessed a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Demonic cultivators often captured Yin spirits or hunted cultivators to extract their living souls and refine them within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

After a period of refinement, these Yin spirits and living souls would transform into vengeful ghosts.

More ferocious, more terrifying.

When the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was unleashed, thousands of vengeful ghosts would surge forth like a tide.

Chu Xuan, being a smart person, immediately understood.

That Divine Gang Sect disciple must have opportunistically killed a Wuji Sect cultivator and obtained the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but didn't turn it over to the sect, choosing instead to keep it hidden.

As for why he hid it, the reason was obvious.@@novelbin@@

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a notorious demonic artifact, incredibly powerful.

This person clearly intended to keep it for himself and secretly refine it.

"The Divine Gang Sect, one of the Five Righteous Sects, isn't entirely composed of upright individuals."

Chu Xuan sneered.

Demonic artifacts, with their great power and quick formation, were appealing to all.

If not for the wanton slaughter attracting Heavenly Dao's punishment, the Five Righteous Sects might have long since turned to the demonic path.

In any case, this high-grade spiritual artifact, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, was an unexpected delight.

Whether it was a Divine Gang Sect cultivator or a Wuji Sect cultivator, they had to be sneaky about accumulating Yin spirits in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

But Chu Xuan was different.

Once he returned to that apocalypse planet, there would be plenty of zombies for him to extract living souls from.

"With this, I have another treasure to rely on."

Chu Xuan, satisfied, immediately sat down cross-legged to cultivate quietly.

The Blood Mirror in his arms also slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gradually charging.

Five days later, at White Mang Mountain.

Xu Ming, Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others were hiding in a cave, waiting anxiously.

By rights, Liu Zhenxiong should have shaken off Sun Shi and the other Divine Gang Sect cultivators and met up with them three days ago.

But now two more days had passed, and there was still no sign of Liu Zhenxiong.

They didn't dare to go down the mountain to investigate.

Nor did they know what the situation at Wu Family Manor was like now.

Every day and night was spent in anxiety.

"How about we disguise ourselves and go down the mountain to take a look," Xu Ming suggested to Chen Ge, "Your disguise technique is the best among us, you go down and check."

Chen Ge's heart tightened, "Why should I go? Every time it's me going to Taiping Market, if anyone should go, it's you!"

Xu Ming stood up abruptly and said in a low voice, "Uncle Liu personally instructed that I'm in charge of this team! Chen Ge, do you want to disobey orders?!"

Chen Ge muttered to himself but reluctantly began to apply makeup.

However, he had only painted half his face when Liu Zhenxiong's voice came from outside.

"No need to go down the mountain, I'm back."

Liu Zhenxiong appeared at the cave entrance with a disciple.

Xu Ming was overjoyed, "Uncle, you're finally back!"

Liu Zhenxiong glanced around and nodded slightly, "The area around Wu Family Manor was completely surrounded, yet you all managed to escape alive, not one missing, truly fortunate."

He pointed to the disciple behind him, "Bai Feng and the others were originally heading to Falling Phoenix Mountain, but they were ambushed halfway, and only Bai Feng escaped by luck, saved by me."

Bai Feng gave a bitter smile, "If not for Uncle's timely arrival, I'd be dead by now. Xu Ming, you guys are really lucky, didn't you encounter any Divine Gang Sect disciples blocking your way?"

Xu Ming, Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and the others exchanged glances and recounted the events of that day.

"Three Divine Gang Sect disciples, including one at Qi Refining stage level seven, all dead?"

Liu Zhenxiong and Bai Feng were quite astonished.

"No signs of a battle, I suspect they were killed instantly, without giving them a chance to fight back, likely by a cultivator at Qi Refining stage level eight," Xu Ming said in a low voice.

Chen Ge timidly raised his hand, "Uncle, could it have been Senior Brother Chu? He's always been very strong..."
