Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 267 Demonic Cultivator
Halfway up the mountain.

A mummified corpse lay beside a round stone.

The monks gathered around the mummified corpse and whispered among themselves.

"Another person has been murdered!"

"This matter will not end until the real culprit is eliminated, but judging from the current situation on Cloud Whale Island, it seems that there will be no result in the short term."

"..."

"Brother Yuan!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhu."

"senior!"

Upon seeing Yuan Mo and Zhu Ju, the group of cultivators greeted them warmly.

Chen Tong had already arrived at this moment. When he saw the two of them coming side by side, a strange look flashed across his face.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan."

He straightened up beside the corpse, cupped his hands, and said:
"You came."

"Hmm." Yuan Mo nodded, quickly walked to the mummified corpse, and his expression darkened.
"Which fellow cultivator was murdered?"

The familiar scene before him was almost identical to that of last month, leading him to believe that another Foundation Establishment cultivator had been murdered.

"He's a junior." Chen Tong shook his head.
"One of Fellow Daoist Tong Jiao's disciples was found dead here not long ago."

"Yes." A heavily made-up female cultivator nodded through gritted teeth.

“Guiyuan is my most beloved disciple. He has already opened the eight innate apertures and had the potential to advance to the Dao Foundation stage.”

"I never thought..."

"I will definitely avenge him!"

Yuan Mo's expression was strange.

This fellow Daoist Tong Jiao is naturally charming and has more than ten disciples, each of whom is a handsome young man.

He was called an apprentice, but in reality, he was just a kept man.

This ape was the most favored one on ordinary days, and she would hold it in her arms every day, unwilling to let go.

“It wasn’t just one person.” Zhu Ju looked at the corpse on the ground and shook his head slightly.

"The one who killed the Foundation Establishment cultivator acted swiftly and decisively, and his strength was unfathomable. This time is different."

"The body showed obvious signs of struggle before death. The murderer was not even able to completely suppress a Qi Refining Master. It was definitely not the one who killed Fellow Daoist Zhuang."

"is it?"

As they spoke, other fellow Daoists from the vicinity arrived one after another. Yu Lou waved his long sleeves and curled his lip:
"I don't see any difference."

"Fellow Daoist Yu." Chen Tong frowned.
“Fellow Daoist Zhu is right. I also find it strange. Even if one is cultivating demonic arts, the requirements should not be lowered.”

"Is it possible..."

"Is someone taking advantage of the situation?"

Zhu Ju rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought. The corpse in front of him gave him a strange feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But upon closer reflection, I have no memory of it.

"What should we do now?"

Fish basket shrugs:

"Report to the Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce?"

This is obviously a joke. The Cloud Whale Chamber of Commerce is in complete chaos; who would come to handle such a matter?

"Let's burn it," someone suggested.
"Completely clean".

"No!" Tong Jiao's eyes snapped open, and she reached out to block the corpse, shouting angrily:

“My disciple’s body is not yet cold, how can we handle it so carelessly? He should at least be buried in the ground.”

Before she could finish speaking, the mummified corpse behind her suddenly trembled.

"careful!"

Zhu Ju, who had been observing the corpse, let out a low shout, flicked his finger, and several beams of mysterious light slashed towards the corpse.

"Shh!"

"Woo..."

The mummified corpse suddenly sprang up, opened its mouth wide, revealing fangs, and lunged at Tong Jiao in front of it, releasing a ferocious aura.

It only took a split second for a motionless, mummified corpse to transform into a man-eating monster, leaving no time to react.

at this time.

A beam of light struck, and the suddenly rising mummified corpse was slashed and forced to retreat repeatedly.

"Wow..."

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, especially those who were innate Qi cultivators, who were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

Many of them had been near the corpse; if the corpse had reacted then...

The result will surely be extremely tragic!

"evil Dead?"

Chen Tong's expression darkened, and he stretched out his large hand, his true essence and spiritual energy converging in mid-air, transforming into a giant palm that grabbed at the dried corpse.

The giant hand stretched out its five fingers like a cage, suddenly trapping the mummified corpse within, from which a vast and mighty force burst forth.

"Peng!"

The mummified corpse was directly crushed into minced meat.

The innate energy is used to capture the body!

This is a common technique used by Dao Foundation cultivators, but when he wields it, its power is terrifying.

The dried corpse, capable of threatening a Dao Foundation cultivator, was actually crushed to pieces.

Such a foundation suggests that he is not far from advancing to the late stage of the Dao Foundation stage, causing Yuan Mo, who was watching from the sidelines, to narrow his eyes.

"it is good!"

Yu Lou clapped repeatedly:

"Chen Daoyou has a skillful way of doing things!"

“It’s a demonic cultivation technique,” ​​Zhu Ju said, his expression grave.

"The Netherworld Cult and the Heavenly Corpse Sect are most skilled in this kind of method, which kills people and turns their corpses into walking corpses."

"No wonder!"

"No wonder it felt so familiar."

Even before he became a Qi Refiner, he had come into contact with the demonic disciples of the Netherworld Sect.

At that time,

It's not much different from the current situation.

However, the Netherworld Sect disciple at that time was only a Xiantian level cultivator, yet he still managed to turn an entire county into a ghost town.

just now……

The person who did this must be a Dao Foundation Demon Cultivator!

And this fog!
How could I forget that back then, Leping County was covered by thick fog, and the Zhou family members, who cultivated the Dao of Annihilation and Death, went mad and turned hundreds of thousands of people in the county into prey? How is that any different from today's situation?
"Demon cultivator?"

Chen Tong's expression changed:

"Trouble!"

The problem isn't the demonic cultivators, but rather that the Cloud Whale Merchant Guild is likely unable to spare the resources to resolve the situation.

“No need to worry.” Yuan Mo’s eyes flickered.
"Given the vastness of the East Sea, there are quite a few people who secretly practice demonic techniques, but most of them are unlikely to amount to much."

"This person is only attacking a Qi Refining cultivator, so he can't be too strong. Even if we encounter him, we should be able to handle him."

"Not bad." Chen Tong snapped out of his reverie.
“Fellow Daoist Yuan is right. As long as we unite, we can solve any problem.”

Zhu Ju remained silent. The cultivation world of the East Sea knew little about demonic paths and lacked fear of demonic cultivators.

He is different.

He was trapped in the Hehuan Sect's Fengyue Valley for many years, and his sect was even driven to the Hundred Thousand Mountains by demonic cultivators.

They were well aware of the terror of the demonic path.

Given the right environment, a demonic cultivator's strength can advance rapidly in a short period of time.

If it is not eradicated early, it will definitely become a major problem in time!
and……

This time it was the work of a demonic cultivator. Then was it the same as when Fellow Daoist Zhuang was killed last time?

in the case of.

So what kind of strength did the demonic cultivator who made the move last time possess?

The thought of a demonic cultivator hiding on the island made him feel very gloomy, and he frowned deeply.

"so."

Yu Lou clapped his hands and said:

"What a wise decision it was for Fellow Daoist Chen to propose forming an alliance, just to ensure that we can survive no matter what happens."

"Alright." Chen Tong waved his hand with a smile:

"Now that we know there are demonic cultivators hiding on Cloud Whale Island, we should be even more cautious, and the corpses should be burned."

"Fellow Daoist Tong."

"You have no objection?"

Looking at the mummy, which resembled a pool of flesh on the ground, Tong Jiao's expression changed, and she finally nodded helplessly.

"I have no opinion."

"Then disperse!" Chen Tong shouted to the crowd.

"The matter has been resolved. There is no need for everyone to continue gathering together. Let's spread the word about the demonic cultivators and warn everyone to be careful."

"Yes!"

"That's what senior said."

"..."

The crowd agreed and dispersed.

"Wait a moment."

Just then, Zhu Ju suddenly spoke, pointing to a person behind Yu Lou:
"You stop!"

"Senior." The tall man paused, a flicker of barely perceptible fear crossing his eyes.

"Is there something you need?"

"..." Zhu Juzai scrutinized him carefully, his eyes flashing, then he let out a cold snort:
"That's you!"

"During the days when Zhu was away from home, you went to my manor and stole Zhu's things, didn't you?"

Ah!
The man's expression changed upon hearing this, and he instinctively looked at the fish basket.

"The one surnamed Zhu."

Yu Lou's eyes widened:
"What do you mean?"

"I know you've always disliked me, but there's no need to falsely accuse someone close to me of stealing your things, is there?"

"Framed?" Zhu Ju raised his hand, and a wisp of energy floated in mid-air:
"This is a wisp of aura that Zhu obtained from the manor. It is exactly the same as this person's. Whether it is a frame-up or not can be found out with a test."

"You think we can just try it because you say so?" Yu Lou shouted.
"Who knows when you collected it? With the methods of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, absorbing the aura of others is a piece of cake."

"What?" Zhu Ju's expression darkened slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, are you going to stop me?"

"Stop me?" Yu Lou rolled up his sleeves, a cold smile on his face:

"You surnamed Zhu, I think you don't know what's good for you. Do you really think that I, Yu, am always laughing and joking without any temper?"

He's a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Moreover, their methods are not bad; it's just that their usual behavior makes people subconsciously overlook this point.

"I've disliked you for a long time. You're just a junior who's only been at the Foundation Establishment stage for twenty years, yet you always put on a sour face in front of me."

"Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

“Fellow Daoist…” someone tugged at his sleeve.

"What?" Yu Lou frowned, looking at him with displeasure.

"Fellow Daoist Yu." The man leaned closer:
"Don't act impulsively."

"Impulsive?" Yu Lou laughed angrily.
"Brother Zhao, are you going to stop me?"

"No." The other person shook their head and said in a low voice:
"A few days ago, Fellow Daoist Zhu..."

His voice was very low, and even those around him could hardly hear it. They could only vaguely make out words like "mid-stage Dao Foundation" and "talisman treasure".

But Yu Lou's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Fellow Daoist Yu."

Zhu Ju summoned his flying sword and spoke again:
Are you sure you want to stop me?

"..." Yu Lou opened his mouth, turned around and looked at the Dao Foundation cultivator who was talking to him, and the other party nodded.

"that……"

He scratched his head, gave an awkward smile, and suppressed his restless aura:
"Misunderstand!"

"It's a misunderstanding."

"This junior surnamed Li has always been dishonest; perhaps he really did go to your manor."

"Senior!" Little Li's expression changed drastically:
"It's not you..."

"Shut up!" Yu Lou's face darkened.
"If Fellow Daoist Zhu says you have a problem, just answer honestly. Do you think he would frame you?"

"You..." Xiao Li's face showed struggle, his eyes flashed rapidly, and he suddenly rushed into the crowd.

"Shh!"

He was incredibly fast, like an eel, plunging into the crowd and rushing into the thick fog.

With the fog obscuring the view, even a Dao Foundation cultivator would find it difficult to lock onto the target unless they were very close.

However, with the crowd providing cover, many tactics become difficult to implement.

"Humph!"

Zhu Ju snorted softly, his eyes suddenly gleaming with a spiritual light.

Two beams of light shot out from his eyes and landed on Xiao Li as if he had teleported.

Soul-Stabilizing and Spirit-Severing Divine Light.

"puff!"

Xiao Li's body stiffened, his eyes went vacant, his body trembled, and then he collapsed.

No more sound.

dead!
Back when Zhu Ju was still a Qi Refiner, he had used this technique to kill a Six-Aperture Innate.

just now.

He was already a Dao Foundation cultivator and had connected two souls, making his divine soul power powerful. Even a Nine Aperture Innate cultivator would find it difficult to resist this technique without the protection of a divine soul secret technique.

"Shh!"

With a single gesture, he grabbed the storage bag from Xiao Li's body and broke the restriction on it with a rub of his hands.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he sensed everything in the storage bag, which Zhu Ju then expressionlessly put away.

"really!"

"It's this little thief!"

"Hehe..." Yu Lou scratched his head:
I told him he had a problem.

Completely forgetting that he was the one who stopped Zhu Ju from making a move, such shamelessness is rare among Dao Foundation cultivators.
