Liu Zhenxiong was noncommittal about Xu Ming's attitude.
It's normal for disciples to have minor conflicts.
He didn't want to waste ti on such trivial matters.
"Ouyang Hao was injured and repelled by Chu Xuan. The Divine Gang Sect will definitely conduct another thorough investigation of Taiping Market and its surroundings."
"During this period, you all must hide well. Without my orders, stay in the secret chamber and do not co out."
Liu Zhenxiong said sternly.
"Yes," the disciples nodded in agreent.
……
Ten days later.
Sure enough, cultivators from the Divine Gang Sect arrived at Taiping Market to thoroughly investigate Ouyang Hao's whereabouts.
And their numbers were quite large.
There were as many as three Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators and more than ten Qi Refining stage cultivators accompanying them.
To read the uncut version, go to ].
This group of cultivators turned Taiping Market and its surroundings into chaos and disorder.
Loose cultivators didn't even dare to go out, fearing they might incur the wrath of the Divine Gang Sect cultivators.
The investigation lasted for three consecutive days.
Even Wu Teng, the old Foundation Establishnt stage cultivator from the Wu family, was taken for questioning.
However, after all the searching, they found nothing.
This group of cultivators left in anger.
Wu Teng returned to the Wu Family Manor and imdiately sought out Liu Zhenxiong.
Liu Zhenxiong was puzzled, "Brother Wu, wasn't it just that Ouyang Hao was injured? Why did the Divine Gang Sect investigate here for three whole days?"
Wu Teng replied irritably, "Injured? He disappeared! It's no different from being dead. Which disciple from your Wuji Sect did this?"
"Daring enough to kill soone favored by the Divine Gang Sect's Elder?"
Liu Zhenxiong was stunned, "Disappeared?"
Wu Teng sighed, "If Ouyang Hao hadn't disappeared, would they have deployed three Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators and over ten Qi Refining stage cultivators to investigate?"
"If it weren't for my experience, the Wu Family Manor would have been turned upside down."
Liu Zhenxiong scratched his head.
This wasn't what he had imagined.
He always thought Chu Xuan had injured Ouyang Hao, and the latter, knowing he was no match, fled.
But now it seed it wasn't just an injury.
Chu Xuan had directly eliminated Ouyang Hao and even taken his body!
In this light, he had underestimated Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan's true realm might very well be the ninth level of Qi Refining!
"Brother Liu, if this happens a few more tis, I can't handle it. You need to talk to your disciples and make sure they don't cause any more trouble."
"I've always been an undercover agent for the Wuji Sect, passing information about the Divine Gang Sect to our sect. I can't withstand multiple investigations from the Divine Gang Sect."
"If it doesn't work out, I'll have to ask you to leave and find another place."
Wu Teng said helplessly.
Liu Zhenxiong nodded repeatedly, "Alright, Brother Wu, don't worry. I'll definitely talk to them."
He returned to the courtyard where he had been staying.
He heard Chen Ge, Wei Hua, and others discussing in low voices.
"Ouyang Hao is dead!"
"They say he's missing, not dead."
"What's the difference between missing and dead? Didn't you see the Divine Gang Sect sent three Foundation Establishnt stage cultivators to investigate?"
"Who killed Ouyang Hao? Could it be Senior Brother Chu Xuan?"
Seeing Liu Zhenxiong return, they quickly stood up.
Liu Zhenxiong sighed softly, "You all know?"
Chen Ge nodded, "It's being talked about everywhere. Even staying in the manor, we heard about it from the Wu family's servants."
Liu Zhenxiong smiled wryly, "Ouyang Hao is probably dead. It seems I underestimated Chu Xuan's strength. It should be him who killed Ouyang Hao and took the body."
Wei Hua, Bai Feng, and the others widened their eyes.
Chu Xuan's status in their hearts imdiately rose significantly, almost to the sa level as Liu Zhenxiong.
Ouyang Hao had killed so many Qi Refining stage disciples of the Wuji Sect.
They both hated and feared Ouyang Hao.
Now that Chu Xuan had avenged those dead Wuji Sect disciples, their joy was only natural.
Xu Ming's expression wasn't as pleasant.
He only felt that the gap between himself and Chu Xuan had widened even further.
Chen Ge couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Liu, why not have Senior Brother Chu co over too? We could rely on him."
Liu Zhenxiong said helplessly, "I wanted to, but he refused. Now I regret not insisting on keeping him back then."
"Ah?" Chen Ge and the others were shocked.
Chu Xuan was too bold.
Even after Liu Zhenxiong personally invited him, he refused?
Liu Zhenxiong continued, "Chu Xuan knows that resources are scarce now. If I allocate cultivation resources to him, it would inevitably lead to discord among the disciples."
"So, he simply didn't co, wanting to rely on his own strength to break through to the Foundation Establishnt stage."
After these words, Chen Ge, Wei Hua, Bai Feng, and others fell silent.
They were even sowhat moved.
Chu Xuan!
Senior Brother Chu!
He was so selfless!
Xu Ming's face turned red instantly.
He had been so hostile towards Chu Xuan before.
He never expected Chu Xuan to be so considerate of them.
"There's no point in saying more. You all should focus on your cultivation. I still need to continue investigating the whereabouts of the two Ancestors."
Liu Zhenxiong sighed.
The disciples all nodded.
The Golden Elixir Ancestors of the Wuji Sect, so had died in battle, so had surrendered, but two had escaped.
Liu Zhenxiong had never given up on finding their traces.
If he could find the Golden Elixir Ancestors, their safety would be more assured.
If not, they would quietly leave the Yu Kingdom and find a secluded place to rebuild the Wuji Sect.
As long as there was a Golden Elixir Ancestor, there was still hope.
……
Inside the cave.
Chu Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.
The Blood Pearls he brought had been mostly refined.
He could feel his Qi Sea was incredibly full, reaching its limit.
However, even so, there were still no signs of Spiritual Power liquefying.
Clearly, he wasn't so peerless genius.
Without taking a Foundation Establishnt Pill, it would be difficult to truly take that step.
"Everything's in hand, it's ti to leave."
Chu Xuan organized the spiritual herbs in his Storage Bag and nodded slightly.
These spiritual herbs weren't obtained from Taiping Market. To be cautious, he had flown to a more distant place, purchasing them in another loose cultivator market.
He hadn't even used the Heavenly Force Flying Sword, opting for the previous low-grade flying sword instead.
Chu Xuan took out the Blood Mirror.
The Blood Mirror shimred with spiritual light, reflecting the scene of Ocean Blue Star.
He connected his mind to Ocean Blue Star.
His body was imdiately absorbed.
The surroundings spun, and the scenery beca bizarre and colorful.
When his vision cleared again, he was already standing on the rooftop of Haotai Hotel.
"Roar!"
As soon as he stood firm, an excited zombie roar ca from not far away.
Whoosh!
Little Tiger dashed to his side, half-kneeling like a clingy puppy.
Chu Xuan smiled and patted his head, "How have things been while I was away?"
He communicated briefly with Little Tiger through their minds and nodded in satisfaction after a mont.
Very good.
Over four months had passed on Ocean Blue Star.
But no one dared to approach Haotai Hotel.
Little Tiger had been very diligent, never leaving Haotai Hotel except for fixed tis to hunt for food.
After four months of hunting, Little Tiger had successfully advanced to an eighth-level Corpse Soldier.
Even the six Corpse Soldiers and two Spirit Dogs he led had grown significantly.
The herb garden behind the hotel was thriving with various spiritual plants.
If the age requirent wasn't high, so spiritual plants could already be used in dicine.
Of course, what Chu Xuan was most concerned about was the Soul Bloom.
He approached the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was already on the brink of death, its body extrely emaciated, but Little Tiger fed it a piece of zombie at every day, so it hadn't died yet.
"Not bad, it's about to bloom!"
Chu Xuan was very pleased.
