Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 76 – Officially entering Wuzhou, arriving at Tiexianshan

The indigenous sects of Wuzhou were all established by the barbarians.

Their most common methods were raising Gu insects, ghost raising, and corpse refinement, all considered part of the demonic path.

The Wuji Sect absorbed many of their techniques, which allowed them to overpower the righteous path and become a major demonic power in the Yu Kingdom.

Because of this, the Wuji Sect was well aware of the terrifying nature of these indigenous sects in Wuzhou.

They might not have many Golden Elixir cultivators, but with their understanding of Wuzhou, they could easily kill any intruders in the rainforests, swamps, and valleys.

After weighing the gains and losses, the Wuji Sect abandoned the idea of completely annexing Wuzhou.

They merely treated Wuzhou as a backyard for acquiring various materials.

Seeing this, the indigenous sects of Wuzhou coexisted peacefully with the Wuji Sect.

Until the Wuji Sect was destroyed, and Wuzhou was divided among the Five Righteous Sects and given to the Tianyin Gate.

Only then did the war break out.

After advancing a certain distance, the group split up, heading towards their respective targets.

The war between the Tianyin Gate and the indigenous sects of Wuzhou had fully erupted.

A thousand miles east of the Extreme Yin Cave was the front line.

Naturally, these five Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Chu Xuan, couldn't all be deployed to a single location.

The current front line needed fresh forces everywhere to put out fires.

The battles were especially intense at the Thousand Insect Sect, Blood Fury Gate, and Bone Refinement Manor, three indigenous sects.

The mission assigned to the Extreme Yin Cave faction was to completely take down the Thousand Insect Sect.

This indigenous sect was one of the twelve strongest sects in Wuzhou.

It had nearly thirty smaller sects under its command.

The first and second batches of cultivators sent by the Tianyin Gate had been entangled with the Thousand Insect Sect and its subordinate sects.

Their main attack methods were Gu insects.

Poisoning, assassination... their tactics were endless.

Li Xuanming and the others each had their own tasks.

Of course, none of them were directly attacking the Thousand Insect Sect.

Instead, they were targeting the subordinate sects under the Thousand Insect Sect.

After all, the Thousand Insect Sect also had Golden Elixir Ancestors overseeing it.

Even if there were only one or two, far inferior to the Tianyin Gate.

But they were still Golden Elixir Ancestors.

Unless both sides sent out their top forces, there was no room for Foundation Establishment cultivators to shine.

"Let's check the situation first. If the battle is extremely intense, I'll just head to Ocean Blue Star. There's no need to take risks here."

Chu Xuan had already made up his mind.

Fight if he could win.

Run if he couldn't.

After all, he had the Blood Mirror, allowing him to travel freely between the two worlds.

A day later, Chu Xuan arrived outside "Iron Thread Mountain."

Iron Thread Mountain was one of the larger subordinate sects under the Thousand Insect Sect.

There were only six Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding it, with no Golden Elixir experts.

Recently, a mysterious fog had appeared at Iron Thread Mountain.

Three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Tianyin Gate were trapped inside.

One of them was even a direct descendant of a Golden Elixir expert from the Tianyin Gate.

Chu Xuan took on the task of rescuing the two trapped cultivators.

Before he arrived, he could see from afar the thick fog swirling around Iron Thread Mountain.

Faint flashes of spell light burst from within.

"The intelligence said the fog wasn't this thick."

Chu Xuan frowned immediately.

After walking a few steps, he saw the corpse of a Qi Refining stage cultivator lying on the ground.

Many mortals who hadn't managed to evacuate in time had also died in the aftermath of the battle.

Whoosh!

A figure suddenly flew out from the fog, hurtling towards Chu Xuan.

He quickly dodged.

Upon closer inspection, it was a Qi Refining stage cultivator from the Tianyin Gate.

His chest was sunken, and his right leg was severed at the root.

Several black, thread-like insects were writhing and devouring him.

Before Chu Xuan could ask anything, the cultivator breathed his last, dying a tragic death.

Chu Xuan frowned again.

Those insects were Iron Thread Worms, the specialty Gu insects of Iron Thread Mountain.

"Are you the reinforcements? Follow me! Charge into the fog!"

A loud shout came from behind.

Chu Xuan looked up and saw two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Both were wearing the Foundation Establishment robes of the Tianyin Gate.

However, they were unfamiliar faces, not anyone Chu Xuan had seen before.

"Two people, that's reassuring."

Chu Xuan didn't refuse and joined them immediately.

He didn't want to venture into Iron Thread Mountain alone.

The fog made him feel threatened.

Who knew what terrifying things were hidden within it?

Having more teammates meant more security.

After joining, the three exchanged names.

Chu Xuan quickly learned their identities.

The burly cultivator was named Zhao Luan.

The tall, thin cultivator was named Zhou Yu.

Both were from the second batch of cultivators.

Although they didn't explicitly state their realms, Chu Xuan could roughly sense that they were both in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The three had just started flying towards Iron Thread Mountain.

When they saw a figure covered in blood fleeing in panic.

"Run! Run!"

The person's eyes were filled with terror.

Even upon seeing Chu Xuan and the others, he didn't stop.

Chu Xuan glanced at him and sensed that several Iron Thread Worms were already rampaging through his internal organs.

Even if he escaped, he would still die.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but frown.

Was Iron Thread Mountain really that terrifying?

Zhao Luan sneered, "I know that guy, just a loose cultivator who barely reached Foundation Establishment."

"Ignore him, let's keep moving forward."

"Rescuing the three Foundation Establishment cultivators trapped in the fog can earn us three hundred sect contribution points. Such a good opportunity shouldn't be missed."

"Just follow me closely."

Zhou Yu whispered, "Brother Zhao is at the third level of Foundation Establishment, just a step away from the fourth level."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, there's no need to worry. With him leading, we'll be safe."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

The next moment.

He heard Zhao Luan mutter in confusion, "Why is it so itchy, so itchy..."

He saw Zhao Luan desperately scratching his back.

Looking closer, he found two Iron Thread Worms burrowing into Zhao Luan's back.

"Do you guys feel itchy?"

Zhao Luan looked at Chu Xuan and Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized that two strange white worms were crawling out of his eyes.

But Zhao Luan was still unaware!

Zhou Yu was dumbfounded.

Chu Xuan growled, "Retreat quickly! There's a powerful Gu Master nearby!"

He admitted that he didn't have such a silent method of planting Gu.

Even he hadn't noticed when Zhao Luan was unknowingly infected!

Zhou Yu swallowed hard.

Without a word, he turned and ran.

"Hey, you... where are you guys?"

"Why can't I see you?"

Zhao Luan's eyes had unknowingly been consumed by the Gu insects.

His vision was also fabricated by the Gu insects.

He didn't know that Chu Xuan and Zhou Yu had already turned and fled.

"So itchy... so itchy!"

Zhao Luan only felt the itch on his body gradually turning into pain.

In the end, it forced him to scratch himself with his nails, drawing blood!

Thud.

He fell from the air, crashing into the blood and mud.

The Gu insects swarmed over him, engulfing him.
