After Wen Shujiang and his wife arrived, the Xuan Gate cultivators waited patiently for another half an hour before the eldest disciple of Nanhua Sect, Huang Songquan, finally arrived.
In this way, Xuan Gate had a total of six third stage cultivators, only slightly less than the demonic sect.
On the surface, both sides seemed to be evenly matched.
However, everyone in Xuan Gate knew that the demonic sect still had people lying in ambush.
However, it was not impossible to deal with them.
The Yuyuan Demon Cultivators were all fourth rank cultivators. Although they were limited by their abilities and techniques and could not fight with a third stage Qi Path cultivator alone, they could display their strength to the fullest if they fought from the side.
At this moment, the spiritual opportunity in the demonic cave was spinning faster and faster. The longer it dragged on, the worse the situation was for Xuan Gate. They could not afford to waste any more time. Therefore, after Huang Songquan finished adjusting his breathing, they decided to make a move.
This time, the six third stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivators took the lead and once again led the crowd to kill their way into the Devil Cave.
Both sides were very close. Once Xuan Gate made a move, the demonic sect knew immediately.
On the flying ship in the sky, seven third stage Qi Path cultivators from the demonic sect sat together. Of the six sects, except for Xueshuo Sect, the rest had cultivators here.
Le Rongniang said, "The Xuanmen are attacking again. Brother Chao, what kind of tricks do you have? Can you show them to our fellow Daoists?"
Chao Yue chuckled and no longer kept them in suspense. With a wave of his sleeve, a puff of smoke flew out and turned into a large vat in front of him. He stepped forward to open the lid and pointed at it, saying, "The chance of victory lies with this item."
Everyone looked at it with rapt attention and saw that it was filled with rice-grain-sized Black Hairy Short Worms.
Liao Daoren was surprised, "Is this the worm you are talking about? Looking at its appearance, is it a stiff worm? "
The stiff worm was a strange worm from Southern Cliff Continent. The adult worm could grow up to ten feet long and usually lived by eating gold and iron. After the worm died, its body was so hard that even divine weapons could not break it. If it was used to refine magic weapons, it could increase the metal property and was considered a rare treasure. Even so, no one could see how it could help the battle.
Le Rongniang looked at Chao Yue and said, "Fellow Daoist Chao, can you clear up your doubts?"
Chao Yue smiled faintly and said, "This is not a Stiff Worm. Instead, it's the corpse of the Vermillion Candle Insect. "
"Vermillion Candle Bug?"
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at the insect again, they simultaneously revealed vigilant and vigilant expressions.
Chao Yue stretched out his hand and took out an insect corpse. He pointed to a place and said, "Everyone, please look at this place."
Everyone took a closer look and saw a bright red dot on the insect's head. It looked like vermilion lacquer, but it was slightly smaller than the eye of a needle. If he didn't intentionally remind him, he would definitely miss it.
Ji Huanchen couldn't help but stand up from the bed and walk forward to take a few glances. He sighed in disappointment and said, "So this is the Vermillion Candle Worm. Back then, Martial Uncle Qi searched everywhere for this worm but couldn't find it. If I had found it earlier, I might have been able to form my Heavenly Abode. "
The Vermillion Candle Bug was a descendant of the ancient Sky Demon, the Sun Swallowing Green Locust, and it loved to devour the Blood Essence and Spirit Qi of cultivators. Once it locked onto its target, it would never stop until it killed its prey.
Back then, there was a Heavenly Passage cultivator in the Southern Cliff Continent who, by chance, obtained a "Vermillion Candle King Bug". Overjoyed, he refined it into a Dharma treasure. After cultivating for a thousand years, he declared that he would come to Dong Hua to compete with the grotto-heavens of the various sects.
However, before this person could even reach the Donghua Continent, he was personally killed by Venerable Ling Ya of Yuxiao school.
However, in this battle, half of the South Cliffs Continent was devoured by the demonic insect, and a gap was opened in the southern part of the Donghua Continent. Even the mountain gate of Yuxiao was affected. That was how the infamy of this insect spread throughout Donghua.
Liao Daoren frowned and said, "Although this insect is powerful, it's just a corpse now. What use can it be?"
Chao Yue said with a smile, "After finding these insect corpses, I've already found them. Three Heavenly Passage cultivators from our sect placed it in the Spiritual Furnace and refined it again. Some of the techniques were left behind by that Heavenly Passage cultivator. Don't underestimate it. "
At this point, he pointed with his finger, and the corpses of the insects started to tremble. Then, their heads grew, and their bodies doubled in size. Then, their entire bodies turned red as if they were soldering iron. A pair of sharp mouthparts appeared at the front of their bodies, and they gradually looked ferocious.
After a while, they became the size of a fist. It had already become the size of a fist, and with another 'pa pa' sound, the insect's back exploded one after another. Six membranous wings stretched out from within and flew into the sky with a buzzing sound.
Le Rongniang suddenly raised her hand and released a Tribulation Water, which wrapped around a hundred of them. After a while, she frowned.
The sturdiness of these insects was far beyond what she had expected. Even her Tribulation Water could not wear them down.
Chao Yue smiled and said, "Fellow Le, although these things look like insects, they are in the realm of magical treasures. Your sect's techniques are indeed powerful, but as long as the spiritual vigor of this place is not exhausted, it can be replenished continuously. If you want to get rid of them, you have to cut off the spiritual vigor of this place first."
Le Rongniang shook her head. During the condensation of the spirit cave, the abundance of spiritual vigor was rare in the world. It was easier said than done. Unless one was a Heavenly Passage cultivator, it would be impossible.
Chao Yue took out a few small bottles and threw them to everyone present. He said, "When these insects attack, poisonous fog will be released. Take this pill and you will be able to defend against it."
After explaining the various taboos, he activated his mana. In a split second, countless demon insects flew out of the big vat and headed toward the top of the devil's cave. However, they did not go out. Instead, they hid on both sides of the tunnel, waiting for their opponents to come.
The Daoist cultivators were very careful in their attack. The six third degree cultivators rode on their instruments and walked at the front, ready to fight the enemy at any time.
However, after entering the devil's cave for a few miles, they did not see a single Daoist cultivator. Everyone knew that there was something strange going on. Not only were they not happy, they were all tensed up.
Shen Yinfeng said in a low voice, "Send a message to remind the disciples to be careful. Those guarding the back should be especially careful to prevent any changes."
Just Now was the time to arrange the battle formation. Therefore, this time the Qincang School cultivators were here to fight for merit. Not many were willing to hide at the back. However, normal cultivators could not do such a thing. In the end, Liu Yanyi took the initiative to stand out and led the disciples of Zhao You to guard the back.
After the Daoist cultivators advanced for a few miles, they were getting closer to the depths of the devil's cave. The spiritual vigor around them became more turbulent, whistling and mighty. Even the Flying Starry Palace started to shake slightly.
As they advanced, a buzzing sound came into everyone's ears. After a short while, the sky was filled with insects. They were densely packed and countless.
Many of them were lying on top of the Flying Starry Palace. The scratching sound that was made when they were chewing was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
Dou Hongping's expression froze. He immediately used the Heaven and Earth Lock Technique to try and fix it. However, when he tried to pinch it, it was useless. He said in surprise, "These insects are not made of flesh and blood?" A bad feeling rose in his heart.
Not long after. A flying palace was chewed through. A large number of poisonous insects crawled in through the holes.
The person inside was an Elder of the Qincang School. He was not afraid when he saw the situation. He immediately spread out his mana and wanted to shake it away. Who knew that these demon insects were not affected at all. They swarmed up and swallowed him whole in an instant.
After eating all the cultivators in the flying palace, the demon insects came out one after another. The number was much more than Just Now.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Fellow Daoists, use the Thunder Technique to subdue it."
The cultivators of the Qincang School were all skilled in the Thunder Technique. With this reminder, they all used their Arts and Divine Abilities. In an instant, within a radius of tens of miles, lightning flashed.
However, not only did this not stop the insects, it made them even crazier. In less than a hundred breaths' time, more than ten flying palaces fell to the ground. The sky was filled with endless screams.
As more and more cultivators were eaten, the number of demon insects increased. The number of Demonic Insects had also doubled, almost covering the sky and the earth.
Seeing that the Flying Starry Palace could not protect him, a cultivator from the Dong Sheng Continent abandoned it and flew out. However, the demon insects were very fast. With a flap of the three pairs of membranous wings on their backs, they caught up in an instant. In the blink of an eye, they drowned him.
Huang Songquan of the Nan Hua Sect thought for a moment. He waved his sleeve and released a large toad.
The toad landed on the cloud and cooed. It opened its mouth and spat out a white gas. Instantly, hundreds and thousands of insects came over and were swallowed.
Suddenly, his expression changed. A spotted sparrow flew out from his back. With a chirp, it spread its wings and carried him to a high place.
In less than a moment, there was a loud bang. The large toad exploded into minced meat. Ten times more demon insects than Just Now flew out and chased after him.
Huang Songquan used his Arts and wanted to drive them away. However, these demon insects stared at him. No matter what he did, he couldn't kill them. In the end, he could only try to avoid them.
At this moment, it was not only him. Most people were in the same predicament as him.
There was only one place that was different. A green-clothed cultivator with a cold expression stood in mid-air. In front of him, there were thousands of sword gleams moving back and forth. Wherever the gleams passed, the demon insects fell. In an instant, their spiritual vigor was taken away and they died.
The place where he stood was like a funnel. It kept sucking in the demon insects. Not long after, he killed tens of thousands of them.
Liao Daoren was surprised and asked, "Who is this person?"
Chao Yue looked at him seriously and said, "Based on his appearance, he should be Ning Chongxuan, a disciple of the Qincang School's Changguan Grotto-Heaven. This person is ranked second among the top ten disciples. He cultivates one of the five techniques and three scriptures of the Qincang School, the 'Thousand Cloud Sword Scripture'. However, this person is only at the Yuanying Level Two, so there's no need to worry."
Everyone nodded. The Vermillion Candle Insects could turn into tens of thousands of them after devouring one person. It could be said that it was impossible to kill them. At this moment, even if they went up, they would also be in a difficult situation like the Xuanmen.
Shen Yinfeng's expression was extremely solemn. If they went further in, even if people of his cultivation could still hold on, more than half of the accompanying disciples would die. He could not help but sigh and said loudly, "Everyone, this is impossible. Let's retreat."
Lu Xiangying, Dou Hongping, and the others shook their heads.
So far, the other party's third stage cultivator had not shown up yet. Just these demonic insects were enough to make them flustered. If they were to face the enemy in the insect swarm later, they would not have any chance of winning. The only thing they could do now was to find a way to retreat and find another way out.
Under the cover of the six people, the disciples once again retreated from the devil's cave.
Seeing that the Xuanmen cultivators retreated again, Chao Yue smiled and said, "The situation has been decided. Even if the Xuanmen has reinforcements, they will not be able to break through this insect barrier."
At this moment, his heart suddenly moved. After sensing for a while, he smiled and cupped his hands at Yang Poyu, saying, "Fellow Yang, the opportunity is coming. We are here, you don't need to stay here. Quickly go in and wait for the opportunity."
Everyone present nodded in agreement. They had all seen the power of the Vermillion Candle Insects and did not think that the Xuanmen would have a chance to break in.
Yang Poyu thought for a while, then stood up and cupped his hands at everyone, saying, "Then I'll leave it to you all." After saying that, he turned around and went into the depths of the devil's cave.
The Xuanmen and the others had only entered the devil's cave for half an hour, but they were forced to retreat again.
When they reached the outside, they looked back and saw that there was a black mass of insects behind them. Fortunately, they were only lingering in the devil's cave and did not chase out.
Shen Yinfeng counted the number of people and his expression turned gloomy. In this short period of time, they had lost almost half of their combat power.
Zhao Houzhou from Huanzhen Sect, Tang Jin from Hanyuan Sect, Pavilion Master Qian, and Elder Wang from Zhongtai Sect were all dead. Even the fate of four demon cultivators from Yu Yuan was unknown. Daoist Nun Wei, on the other hand, had lost an arm. She was barely able to suppress the insect poison with a secret technique, so she could no longer join the battle.
At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound coming from underground. The spiritual vigor around them seemed to be stirred suddenly, and it was several times faster than before.
Wen Shujiang was shocked and blurted out, "Not good!"
Everyone's expression became extremely ugly. This sign clearly showed that the devil's cave was about to be condensed.
However, with the demon insects blocking the way, it was difficult to break in for a while.
Could it be that this time, they could only sit and watch the Devil's Sect succeed?
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, they suddenly heard a strange sound from the sky. It was as if a bolt of lightning was breaking through the sky from afar.
When the people heard it, they could not help but be shocked and looked towards the source of the sound.
As the sound got closer, it actually caused the surrounding spiritual vigor to boil. Everyone at the scene revealed a look of surprise.
Based on the situation, it was obvious that someone was flying towards them. However, just by flying, it caused the spiritual vigor to shake. How strong was this person's mana?
In a flash, there was a rumbling sound above the sky. The High Cloud suddenly exploded and rolled out for tens of miles. Then, a ray of sword gleam broke through the sky and descended from the sky!
