Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 97 – I have a scent-tracking insect, we’ll find him soon
Zhou Yu felt a twitch in his heart.
Picked the weakest one?
Why did such a good opportunity come to me directly?
Nonsense.
This is pushing me into the fire pit!
However, Zhou Yu didn't show it on his face. Instead, he feigned surprise and said, "Friend Lü, I heard that your master, Ancestor Zhao Wuya, and the Golden Elixir cultivator Wan Wuying from the Extreme Yin Cave seem to have some personal ties."
"If you act against the Extreme Yin Cave, will he agree?"
Lü Yin laughed heartily, "My master won't know about this. The Extreme Yin Cave lineage will be erased, whether he agrees or not, what difference does it make?"
Zhou Yu pretended to ponder deeply for a long time.
Lü Yin was starting to get impatient.
Only then did Zhou Yu speak with a troubled expression, "Friend Lü, I think the cultivators of the Extreme Yin Cave are not easy to deal with."
"I'd better not get involved in this mess."
Lü Yin frowned, "Are you really not joining?"
Zhou Yu smiled wryly, "Demonic cultivators are reckless, I'm afraid they'll drag me down with them when they die. Better to stay out of it."
After saying this, he added, "But rest assured, I won't leak this matter. I can swear an oath to the heart demon!"
"After all, as you said, my injuries were all thanks to those people from the Extreme Yin Cave."
With that, he really swore a heart demon oath.
The so-called heart demon oath is a great vow that only Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and above can make.
If violated, one would often face the tribulation of the heart demon.
It's like a black spot appearing on flawless white jade.
This will obstruct a cultivator's path to cultivation.
Very few dare to break a heart demon oath.
Of course, this kind of thing only binds righteous path cultivators.
Demonic cultivators have many ways to deceive or even break heart demon oaths.
Lü Yin's eyes originally flickered with a dangerous light.
But seeing Zhou Yu swear the heart demon oath on the spot, he relaxed immediately.
Even if he wanted to kill Zhou Yu, it would take some effort.
Besides, being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it's not that simple.
On the surface, he said he had exhausted his resources and lost his life-saving cards, but who knows if he's still hiding something.
"Good, Friend Zhou is a sensible person. Farewell."
Lü Yin said no more and turned to leave.
Zhou Yu watched Lü Yin's departing figure and sighed softly.
"Li Xuanming, Liu Zhenxiong, Wu Teng, Chu Xuan... the four from the Extreme Yin Cave, you picked the strongest one. If you don't die, who will..."
...
Time passed day by day.
The fierce offensive of the Tianyin Gate suddenly paused.
The two main Golden Elixir cultivators, Zhao Wuya and Huang Yuanwu, were summoned back to the main hall by a command.
The newcomers were Zhu Taiji, Guo Zhen, and Chu Qiong.
These three adopted a strategy of encirclement without attack.
It seemed they wanted to exhaust the Gu cultivators of the Thousand Insect Sect without losing a single soldier.
After all, normal cultivation and the daily operation of formations require a lot of spirit stones.
With this siege, it was only a matter of time before the Thousand Insect Sect was forced to surrender.
The cultivators below didn't understand the thoughts of the higher-ups and could only wait.
This siege tactic lasted for more than two months.
Every few days, cultivators from the Thousand Insect Sect would risk their lives to break out, but they were all beaten back.
Anyone could guess that the Thousand Insect Sect couldn't endure much longer.
It was likely that the only three remaining Golden Elixir cultivators of the Thousand Insect Sect were about to attempt a breakout.
Sure enough.
When the Mountain Protection Array of the Thousand Insect Sect flickered a few times and finally dimmed due to lack of spirit stones.
Dozens of streams of light suddenly shot towards the southeast!
Continuing southeast would lead to the Yue Country.
As long as they escaped into the territory of Yue Country, the cultivators of Tianyin Gate would not dare to continue the pursuit!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
From the Tianyin Gate camp, four streams of light immediately rose, it was Zhu Taiji, Guo Zhen, Chu Qiong, and Wan Wuying, rushing towards those streams of light.
Zhu Taiji took the lead and shouted, "Hundred Gu, it's still not too late to surrender now. I guarantee you the treatment of an elder of Tianyin Gate!"
Hundred Gu Daoist roared, "I am irreconcilable with the demonic cultivators of Tianyin Gate!"
The Golden Elixir cultivators of Tianyin Gate were somewhat stronger than those of the Thousand Insect Sect.
Their pursuit speed was also faster.
At this rate, Hundred Gu Daoist and the others would eventually be caught.
"Disciples, cover the rear!"
Hundred Gu Daoist growled.

The Foundation Establishment disciples of the Thousand Insect Sect had no choice but to immediately turn around to block Zhu Taiji and the others.
These disciples were controlled by the Golden Elixir cultivators using Gu insects.
If they didn't turn to block, they would be immediately counterattacked by the Gu insects.
If they blocked the Golden Elixir cultivators of Tianyin Gate, they might still have a chance to survive.
They knew the difference between dying now and dying later.
"Get out of the way!"
Wan Wuying waved his hand, and shadows of ghosts swept these Foundation Establishment Gu cultivators away.
Their target was the three of Hundred Gu Daoist.
If they couldn't kill these three Golden Elixir cultivators, they would cause endless trouble for Tianyin Gate with their secret assassinations and Gu poisonings.
These Foundation Establishment Gu cultivators had been fed a large number of Gu insects.
Once killed, the Gu insects would attack them like maggots on a bone.
That would only waste time.
Better to leave them to the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Tianyin Gate to handle.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
From the Tianyin Gate camp, more than twenty streams of light appeared, rushing towards those Foundation Establishment Gu cultivators.
Chu Xuan was among them.
Golden Elixir against Golden Elixir, Foundation Establishment against Foundation Establishment.
Bang bang bang!
The sounds of Golden Elixir cultivators clashing echoed in the sky.
Terrifying shockwaves rippled in all directions.
Wherever they passed, tall trees collapsed in large swathes, shattered into countless wood chips.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators tacitly fought while retreating, staying away from the battlefield of the Golden Elixir cultivators.
They didn't want to be inexplicably killed by the shockwaves.
Chu Xuan faced a Gu cultivator from the Thousand Insect Sect and also left the battlefield.
He didn't show too much strength, still appearing as a half-baked Foundation Establishment second layer.
The Gu cultivator from the Thousand Insect Sect, on the other hand, used all his cards, fighting with a flushed face.
Once completely out of the battlefield, Chu Xuan saw no one around and used the Yin Fiend Ghost Claw to crush the Gu cultivator from the Thousand Insect Sect on the spot, throwing him into the Corpse Raising Tower.
With a few flickers, Chu Xuan used the Yin Evil Escape Technique and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after he disappeared, two figures arrived together.
Both were familiar faces.
It was Lü Yin and Zheng Changqing.
Lü Yin and Zheng Changqing were fellow disciples and had a good relationship.
Lü Yin tried to recruit Zhou Yu to hunt Chu Xuan but failed, so he found Zheng Changqing.
The latter readily agreed.
Killing demonic cultivators for gold coins, such a good thing wasn't common.
Especially when it was a soft target like Chu Xuan, who was only at the second layer of Foundation Establishment.
"Where is he? Wasn't he just here?"
Zheng Changqing frowned.
They had clearly seen Chu Xuan fighting with that Gu cultivator from the Thousand Insect Sect, entering this forest.
Lü Yin sneered, "No rush, I have a scent-tracking insect, we'll find him soon."
With that, he took out a plump insect and let it sniff a low-grade spiritual artifact.
"This artifact..." Zheng Changqing was a bit surprised.
Lü Yin chuckled, "Bought it from Wu Teng, it's an artifact Chu Xuan once used. That guy already felt something was wrong and has betrayed the Extreme Yin Cave."
"My scent-tracking insect, once it catches the scent, will stand upright in the direction of the target."
"The closer the distance, the more upright it stands."
Zheng Changqing was surprised, "Huh? Why is it standing as straight as a chopstick? And looking behind us?"
