At that time in the Southern Metropolis, Ye Kong single-handedly defeated millions of barbarian soldiers, killing the Barbarian Clan's Great Khan and forcing him to flee. Therefore, Ye Kong became the hero of the Southern Metropolis and the demon of the barbarians. Therefore, when the barbarians talked about Ye Kong, they would have a look of deep hatred, spitting out the word "evil thief!"
Ye Kong already knew about it, so he didn't care about it. He couldn't kill all the barbarians because of it, right? He killed so many of their people, so he didn't mind being scolded by them.
But today, someone suddenly mentioned his name, which made him very puzzled, so he hurried to listen.
Ye Kong went over to take a look. The barbarian cultivator wearing the barbarian's indigo blue robe was currently speaking. He recognized him. He was the one who had been the witness during the talisman crafting competition between him and Bald Eagle.
Insect Master Daoist loudly said, "Since Ye Kong that evil thief came to our barbarian race, he slaughtered our Bone Spirit Sect and Bone Spirit Sect and released the Quintuple Giant Insects. Our barbarian race has suffered greatly. I don't know how many villages have been destroyed and how many of our brothers have died under the insects' mouths!" Listening to the cultivator's narration, the cultivators all lowered their heads and sighed.
Insect Master Daoist continued, "Although our main business is to raise hundreds of insects, the Quintuple Giant Insects are ancient mutated insects with tyrannical strength. Each of them has the cultivation of Yuanying or above. And when the five insects work together, they can help each other and cause a greater disaster. Even our leader, Yuanying Divine Lord, Luo Tianze, can't do anything about it … "
Ye Kong was suspicious. What Quintuple Giant Insects? He had never heard of it before. How could it be related to him? Wasn't this putting a crime on him?
However, when Ye Kong thought about it, he thought of something. Oh! Could it be … Ye Kong suddenly remembered that he and Lian Ruolan had gone to the Spirit Spring Cave, and then dug out the five jade slips of the Five Elements Flying Sword from the stalagmite. Wasn't there five Nascent Soul Stage Ancient Demon Beasts there?
It seemed that after a long time, the five demonic insects broke the restriction and came out to harm the barbarians. Ye Kong nodded at the thought. This matter could only be blamed on him. If he hadn't dug out the jade card and broken the restriction of the Spirit Spring Cave, these five Demonic Insects would not have come out.
The cultivation level of the barbarians was not high to begin with, and the Yuanying Divine Lord only had a handful of them. Now, five Demon Insects of Yuanying Stage and above had suddenly appeared. This wasn't something that the barbarian cultivators could deal with. In the past few decades, it was unknown how many barbarians had died under the mouths of these insects.
At this time, he heard Insect Master Zhenren say, "Eradicating the bugs is the responsibility of all barbarian men! That's why our leader, Luo Tianze, has sent out invitations, inviting all the Yuanying cultivators of the various sects to gather at the Insect Fort to discuss the plan to exterminate the pests. Moreover, our Lord Luo Zhenjun has promised that he will marry his only daughter to the cultivator who contributes the most in killing the pests, no matter if he is from the Northern Tribe or the Barbarian Tribe! "
As soon as he said this, the crowd below immediately became noisy.
"Luo Zhenjun's daughter is the flower of our barbarian tribe."
"Yes, yes, not only is she beautiful, but her talent is also rare among us barbarian women. She is already peak foundation establishment state at such a young age. I heard that she is waiting to find a Dao companion and go into seclusion to form her core."
Though the cultivators here were all envious, their cultivation levels were too low. At most, they were Foundation Establishment Masters. Killing the five-spirit giant insects was basically an impossible task for them.
So some cultivators shouted, "Daoist Master Insect, we all welcome you to kill the five spirit giant bugs, but our cultivation levels are too low. To us, it's useless. I think it's better if you send your hero invitations to the nascent souls of the leaders of the clans."
Insect Master Zhenren blushed and said, "Everyone, I'm not telling you to kill the insects today. I just hope that you can pass on my message to your leaders, Yuanying."
Hearing his words, Ye Kong immediately understood. Insect Fort must've sent invitations already, but which Yuanying from other sects were willing to help? They would all refuse to see them, so Insect Fort had to do this and spread the news. But thinking about it, the barbarian tribe was extremely vast. The five-spirit giant insects were only around Insect Fort and were far from the other sects.
Those Nascent Soul cultivators are all wily old foxes, why would they come to work for your Hundred Insect Stronghold for no reason? There were even Yuanying who wanted Insect Fort to be destroyed so they could take advantage of the situation.
Insect Master Zhenren was just spreading the news, he didn't expect anyone to sign up. So after he finished, he put away the gong and prepared to go back to report.
Who knew that at this moment, a green light flashed and a youth was already standing on the stage.
Insect Master Zhenren looked at him as if he saw a ghost, pointing at the youth with the gong, "You're Ye …"
Insect Master Zhenren recognized Ye Kong. That kid caused too much waves back then, so he wouldn't forget what Ye Kong looked like even in death. So when Ye Kong came up, he recognized Ye Kong right away. Then, he remembered that he just called him a thief … This kid wouldn't come to kill him, right?
Though the barbarian tribe was remote, they weren't completely isolated. Everyone in Cang Nan knew about Ye Kong's recent happenings, so of course he knew about Ye Kong's abilities. Insect Master Zhenren's legs softened and he almost knelt before Ye Kong.
But Ye Kong ignored him. He turned around and said, "Everyone, Ye was reckless and caused a lot of trouble back then. Though the incident outside Southern City was caused by the barbarian Great Khan Chaha, the five spirit giant worms were released because of Ye … So, I apologize to everyone here. At the same time, I'll let Ye deal with the five giant worms on Eastern Mountain."
After Ye Kong finished speaking, he teleported and disappeared in a flash.
His appearance was too sudden and the cultivators were all stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.
But suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Ye Kong, he's Ye Kong!"
After this cry of surprise, all the cultivators present fell silent. After all, to the barbarians, Ye Kong was an enemy, not a friend. Did Ye Kong come out to help them kill the five spirit giant worms because he was up to something?
However, after a long while, someone suddenly said, "Everyone, regardless of whether Ye Kong is sincere or not, we should also go to the Eastern Mountain to take a look. If we can help, we should. After all, this is our home!"
The other cultivators followed suit. Then, countless rays of light flew in the direction of the Eastern Mountain.
Actually, Ye Kong's thinking was simple. The five spirit giant worms harmed the people, so it was better for them to get rid of them. Those cultivators could escape, but those mortals were innocent. Although they were barbarian commoners, they didn't provoke him. So many mortals, young and old, died because of him. Ye Kong really couldn't bear to do such a thing.
On Eastern Mountain.
In a deep, dark cave, five giant worms were dozing off. Though they had lived for so many years, because they were all mutated worms, cultivation was exceptionally difficult. It was already not easy for them to reach the Yuanying stage.
But even so, they had gained sentience. All things had the nature to become immortals. It was the same for these five spiritual worms. Though they were trapped in the cave, they were very satisfied with the spirit spring that appeared regularly.
However, ever since Ye Kong destroyed the Spirit Spring, their cultivation had gone up in smoke. Hence, they desperately escaped and ate even more humans and cultivators. This way, they would be able to break through to the Original Infant Stage earlier. As long as they entered the transformation stage, they would have the hope of becoming humans.
Suddenly, the second of the five spiritual worms, the wood toad, opened its lumpy eyelids. It sniffed and said, "Third, do you smell it? It smells good."
Among the five spiritual worms, the wood toad and the water gecko had the best noses. The water gecko also said, "Second brother, you're right. It smells good. It's much purer than the spirit spring."
The wood toad shook its head and said, "It's not the same. The spirit spring was filled with spiritual energy, but this smell is filled with demonic energy. It can be said that for us, this smell must be a hundred times better than the spirit spring!"
The big brother, Golden Scorpion, reminded, "Be careful. Those human cultivators are weak, but they have many tricks up their sleeves. They are luring us out."
The fire centipede and the earth spider also nodded and said, "Big brother is right. Those cultivators are luring us out to kill us. We should be careful."
The Wood Toad laughed and said, "They want to lure us out and kill us? They must be dreaming. How can we five brothers be killed by a few Nascent Soul cultivators? If we go out, who knows who will be killed! "
Golden Scorpion snorted and said, "Then you go out alone."
Although the wood toad didn't like human cultivators, it didn't dare to go out alone. It could only close its eyes and endure.
But after a while, the demonic energy became more and more enticing. Not only the wood toad and the water gecko, but the other three spiritual beasts also smelled it.
This was the smell of the Water of Transformation, and it was what Ye Kong used to lure them out of the cave. Back on the Black Pirate Planet, even the Firmament Beast couldn't resist its need for the Water of Transformation, let alone these spiritual beasts.
"No, I must go out!" The wood toad smelled it the longest, so it was the first to give in.
"I want to go out too. Damn, it smells so good. Even if I know it's dangerous, I still want to go." The water gecko also said.
The earth spider also said, "Big brother, let us go. The path of cultivation is always full of danger. Only in danger can there be hope. I feel that if we can get this thing that smells good, we might be able to transform into human form as soon as possible!"
Golden Scorpion was actually swallowing hard. Since everyone wanted to go, he didn't insist. The five spiritual insects swaggered out of the cave!
When he exited the cave, he saw a young man dressed in green sitting on a huge rock. He held a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and the pleasant smell was coming from this bottle.
Golden Scorpion shook the golden needle on his butt and shouted, "Brat, put this thing down and we five brothers will spare your life!"
