The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 427

Chen Xin was standing nearby. She glanced at Chu Xuan for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, weren't you being chased by people from Black Wind Island yesterday?"

Chu Xuan shook his head casually. "Yes, two ordinary pursuers. I dealt with them easily; they weren't from Black Wind Island. Although Black Wind Island is a bit tyrannical, they wouldn't stoop to such underhanded tactics. I have it under control."

He said this on purpose, not wanting to openly antagonize Black Wind Island just yet.

Chen Xin, observing his calm demeanor and tone, didn't sense any deception. She stood there confused. Could it be that Black Wind Island really didn't act on it? Had they had a change of heart?

Without delay, she went to find her third uncle, Chen Huozhao, to report the matter.

Chen Huozhao looked up from afar as he spotted Chu Xuan calmly seated at his stall, selling talismans just like yesterday. He was stunned. The person who had been marked by Black Wind Island was still alive?

"How is that possible?" he muttered to himself. "Didn't they send people after him?"

At the same time, the two Nascent Soul talismans from Black Wind Island, Dong Wei and Wang Pengjie, were staring at each other in confusion.

Dong Wei furrowed his brow. "We sent someone after him last night, right?"

Wang Pengjie nodded. "Yes, we did. We even paid to have people from Brother Song's side take care of it."

The two exchanged a look, their confusion growing.

The "Brother" they referred to was Song Tianlong, a Nascent Soul cultivator in the later stages, known for his formidable combat strength and volatile temper.

Dong Wei couldn't help but mutter, "Do you think Brother Song took our money but didn't do anything?"

Wang Pengjie pondered for a moment. "It's very possible…"

Neither of them dared to approach Song Tianlong to address the matter directly. They couldn't even bring themselves to question whether he had actually sent anyone. This kind of loss was one they would have to swallow, no matter how bitter.

After much contemplation, Dong Wei scratched his head. "How about we send two people tonight? No need to bother Brother Song; he took our money and did nothing."

Wang Pengjie nodded. "I have a friend, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the fourth stage. He's also a poison cultivator."

Dong Wei agreed. "I know someone with similar strength. If we promise them some rewards, they'll definitely help us out."

Wang Pengjie grinned. "With these two, we should be able to deal with that troublemaker."

The two exchanged satisfied nods.

...

The news that Chu Xuan had returned to the market and set up his stall again quickly spread. Most of the cultivators who had been in the area yesterday were particularly curious.

They had seen with their own eyes that someone had followed Chu Xuan when he left, only to find him back without harm.

Chu Xuan, however, paid no attention to the curious glances. After all, he was just a humble talisman seller, minding his own business.

Soon, his demon soul talismans were once again snapped up by eager buyers. This time, it took less than two hours for them to sell out completely.

After that, Chu Xuan quickly packed up his stall and headed home, his business for the day done.

In the distance, Dong Wei and Wang Pengjie exchanged glances, silently passing a message to each other.

After Chu Xuan had left, it wasn't long before two cultivators followed his trail.

Chen Xin and Chen Huozhao looked at the receding figures of the two pursuers, both shaking their heads.

"I recognize both of them. One is an expert in poison and insect cultivation, the other raises a Dark Eagle," Chen Xin remarked. "Their strength is considerable—both of them appear to be at the Nascent Soul fourth stage."

Chen Huozhao smiled faintly. "With both of them acting together, that Liu Zhenxiong won't last long."

He then paused, deep in thought. "However, he did take out a hundred demon soul talismans yesterday, and today he has more than fifty again. I wonder where they came from. It's highly likely he found a demon cultivator's corpse and obtained the talismans from it. I suspect he may also have other demonic magic treasures on him."

Chen Xin sighed. "It's a pity. All those treasures will likely end up in someone else's hands."
