Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 68 – If Uncle Chu joins in, he will definitely make a huge profit!
Chu Xuan flew around and found that his three senior brothers, Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, and Wu Teng, were still in seclusion.
Indeed, time in the mountains flies by without notice, and in cultivation, years pass like days.
This was quite normal.
After all, once one becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they have at least two hundred years of life.
Even if they are demonic cultivators and use some demonic methods that reduce their lifespan, they still live to be around one hundred seventy or eighty years old.
A seclusion of three or four years is completely normal.
As for their master, Wan Wuying, he would go into seclusion for at least ten years at a time.
However, Chu Xuan noticed that the four Qi Refining disciples, Xu Ming, Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and Bai Feng, were busy every day.
While soaring through the sky on his Heavenly Force Flying Sword, he saw Chen Ge and Wei Hua escorting a group of mortal craftsmen.
Judging by their direction, they were likely relocating them to a plain within the territory of the Extreme Yin Cave.
"Might as well ask them if there's been any recent changes."
With a flicker, Chu Xuan appeared above Chen Ge and the others.
Chen Ge and Wei Hua sensed a powerful presence and immediately became alert, ready for anything.
Upon realizing it was Chu Xuan, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Ge said happily, "Oh, it's Uncle Chu!"
"Uncle Chu, you've only been in seclusion for a few months. Why are you out already?"
Chen Ge and Wei Hua used to be friends with Chu Xuan.
Now that Chu Xuan had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, they addressed him as Uncle Chu.
But deep down, they were proud to have once been friends with him.
Wei Hua turned to the mortals and announced loudly, "This is our Foundation Establishment Daoist from the Extreme Yin Cave, Uncle Chu Xuan!"
When Chu Xuan flew over on his Heavenly Force Flying Sword, the mortals had already looked at him with admiration.
Now, hearing Wei Hua's introduction, they were even more impressed.
A Foundation Establishment Daoist!
To these mortals who couldn't cultivate, he was practically a deity!
"I'm free right now, so I'll escort you to your destination."
Chu Xuan said casually.
Chen Ge and Wei Hua were moved, "Thank you, Uncle!"
The mortals were also grateful.
Wuzhou was full of dangerous creatures.
At night, there were also evil spirits and ghostly entities.
Even with Chen Ge and Wei Hua, two Qi Refining Daoists, escorting them, casualties were inevitable.
The mortality rate of the last group of mortals was as high as thirty percent.
But now, with a Foundation Establishment Daoist present, their safety was much more assured.
"Chen Ge, come here."
Chu Xuan beckoned.
Chen Ge obediently approached, thinking he might be reprimanded for not doing his job well.
Seeing his demeanor, Chu Xuan chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not here to reprimand you, just to ask some questions."
Chen Ge relaxed, "Please ask, Uncle."
Chu Xuan then got a general understanding of the past few months.
As he expected, there were no changes among the Five Righteous Sects.
The incidents of Wan Wuying escaping from Yunwu Manor and the death of the Golden Dragon Temple's genius monk Hui Kong had been quietly swept under the rug.
The Divine Gang Sect and Golden Dragon Temple were clearly too ashamed to publicize these events.
It wasn't something to be proud of.
If the cultivators across the Yu Kingdom found out that the head of the Five Righteous Sects, the Divine Gang Sect, had imprisoned Wan Wuying, extracted his blood to feed ghosts, and used it to hone their sword energy, it would cause an uproar.
The Divine Gang Sect's status as the leader of the Five Righteous Sects would be significantly impacted.
Cultivators across the world would know that the Divine Gang Sect and Golden Dragon Temple were hypocritical sects.
Outwardly, they slay demons and exorcise evil, but in reality, they deceive the world!
"...Oh, Uncle Chu, there is indeed an important matter recently."
Chen Ge whispered, "The Tianyin Gate is preparing to launch a major offensive against the local sects in Wuzhou."
"Apparently, a Golden Elixir Ancestor was ambushed by the local sects in Wuzhou and was severely injured and comatose."
"This has prompted the Tianyin Gate to accelerate their plans."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
He had long thought that the Tianyin Gate was inefficient.
They should have gathered the full strength of their sect and marched eastward, using their overwhelming power to directly sweep through the local sects in Wuzhou.
Instead, they only sent a small group of cultivators, establishing Feishan Hall and relocating mortals.
They turned a straightforward conquest into a slow encroachment.
Now, with a Golden Elixir cultivator severely injured, they finally decided to launch a large-scale invasion.
What were they waiting for?
However, it wasn't hard to guess.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
There must be internal power struggles within the Tianyin Gate.
The local sects in Wuzhou were neither too strong nor too weak.
If the Tianyin Gate used the full strength of their sect, they could definitely clear out the local sects.
But the local sects, in order to protect themselves, would undoubtedly retaliate fiercely.
The Tianyin Gate would inevitably suffer some casualties, possibly even deaths.
Thus, deciding which faction should take on the task of dealing with the local sects in Wuzhou became a topic of manipulation.
Everyone wanted to preserve their faction's strength as much as possible while striving to seize the most spoils of victory!
Where there are people, there is conflict.
Even among cultivators with long lifespans, it's no exception.
As one of the Five Righteous Sects, the Tianyin Gate had vast territory and numerous members, naturally leading to internal strife.
Chen Ge said mysteriously, "Many cultivators have already arrived at Feishan Hall from the Tianyin Gate's main hall."
"There are five Foundation Establishment cultivators and even more Qi Refining disciples, seventy or eighty in total. And this is just the first batch."
"I noticed that these people all look dejected, as if they are the disfavored ones within the sect, sent here as a last resort."
Chu Xuan nodded slightly.
No one wanted to undertake such life-threatening tasks.
The mortality rate for the first batch of cultivators entering the battlefield was higher.
Those first sent to Feishan Hall were either unaffiliated or victims of internal conflicts.
Chen Ge chuckled, "Uncle Chu, these guys are busy enhancing their strength, using all sorts of methods."
"They even use demonic methods without hesitation."
Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "Judging by your expression, it seems you've profited quite a bit from it."
Chen Ge grinned like an old fox, "Hehehe, just made a small profit from the Qi Refining disciples."
"If Uncle Chu joins in, you'll definitely make a big profit!"
Chu Xuan's interest was piqued.
That was indeed a good idea.
Those first involved in the war would surely do everything possible to enhance their strength for self-preservation.
He had accumulated a lot of Blood Pearls, Large Blood Pearls, Yin Evil Qi, Yin Corpses, and cultivation techniques, spells, and spiritual artifacts obtained from slaying righteous cultivators.
They would surely be in high demand!
"Not bad." Chu Xuan nodded slightly, giving Chen Ge a few more glances.
Chen Ge immediately understood and said quickly, "I know the location of the black market. Once we deliver these mortals, I'll take you there, Uncle Chu!"
Chu Xuan smiled slightly.
This kid was on the right track.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chu Xuan released his Foundation Establishment aura along the way, personally escorting them.
They encountered almost no accidents along the way.
Those local cultivators who intended to harm the mortals sensed Chu Xuan's aura and retreated in unison.
Damn it.
Who sends a Foundation Establishment cultivator to escort mortals?
That's just bullying.
