"You killed those innocent mortals on Mount Niushou. Have you ever thought of letting them live?" Lu Xiaotian's eyes turned cold. He formed a seal with his fingers and shot out several spells.
The female cultivator resisted stubbornly for a while before desperately escaping into a river near Mount Niushou. She tried to use the river as a cover to escape.
"You think I can't do anything to you if you run into the river?" Lu Xiaotian found it funny. He had better have several methods to force the other party to surface. Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xiaotian threw out several lightning webs. The Lightning Webs whooshed into the river. The fish in the river were caught in the crossfire and were electrocuted.
A miserable groan came from the bottom of the river. Vaguely, a human figure was trapped in the net and struggling at the bottom of the water. The power of the Lightning Net Technique in the water was greater than usual.
"Water Lightning Technique!" "Ice Arrow Technique!"
Two water thunders paralyzed the female cultivator with red phoenix eyes. After breaking her shield, dozens of ice arrows shot into the water like lightning. Lu Xiaotian turned around and walked away with the wind without looking back. After walking for hundreds of feet, blood gushed out of the river behind him, and a corpse with several ice arrows stuck in its body floated to the water surface.
"Death is like an extinguished lamp. My condolences." Lu Xiaotian comforted Weng Zhihan when he returned to the place where the battle took place.
Weng Zhihan wiped the tears from his face and sighed heavily. He buried the female corpse and burned some yellow paper and red candles.
After paying his respects to his daughter, Weng Zhihan took the storage pouches of the black-armored man and another middle-stage Aura Refining cultivator and handed them to Lu Xiaotian.
There were no valuable spiritual objects inside. Lu Xiaotian only took a few spirit stones and gave the rest to Weng Zhihan. After Weng Zhihan thanked Lu Xiaotian, he mentioned that he had given his daughter a relic when she was alive. Now that his daughter was killed, it might have been stolen by bandits. Weng Zhihan wanted to retrieve his daughter's relic. Lu Xiaotian didn't think much and agreed.
Two hours later, Weng Zhihan rummaged through Mount Niushou and finally found an inkstone that was only one size larger than an ordinary inkstone. Other than its slightly larger size, there was nothing outstanding about it. Perhaps Weng Zhi Han's daughter was a refined person with literary talent. Weng Zhihan carefully put away the inkstone in his bag and set off again with Lu Xiaotian.
One day later, in a swamp filled with smoke and miasma. An old man and a young man walked carefully at the edge of the swamp, looking vigilant.
Buzz …
A group of sixty to seventy yellow flying mosquitoes flew up from the swamp toward Weng Zhihan and Lu Xiaotian, the two strangers.
"Why are there so many mosquitoes?!"
Miasma and poisonous fog filled the swamp. Moreover, from time to time, they would encounter attacks from countless demonic beasts and demonic insects such as scorpions, mosquitoes, and spiders. When dealing with some low-grade feys, Lu Xiaotian didn't show any awareness of respecting the elderly. Most of the time, he let Weng Zhihan fight. Although they didn't encounter any overly dangerous feys, Weng Zhihan had a hard time dealing with them. Even though he was already in the late stage of Qi Refinement, he was still powerless. There were sixty to seventy flying mosquitoes in front of him. It was quite troublesome to use a spirit shield to block the mosquitoes and then use a spirit sword to slash at them. These flying mosquitoes were extremely sensitive, so attacking with spells was relatively effective. However, his precise control of spells wasn't very good. Therefore, Weng Zhihan couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian was just about to use the Flame Rain Spell to burn these flying mosquitoes when the Shadow Ants in the jade gourd became restless. They seemed to be quite excited. It seemed that they had encountered delicious prey. Lu Xiaotian thought for a moment and released the Shadow Ants. Since reaching the Great Circle of Qi Refinement, his divine sense had greatly increased. Currently, he could control nearly one hundred and fifty Shadow Ants. What flew out was also a black mass, densely packed.
"Insect cultivator!" Weng Zhihan felt a lump in his throat. He originally thought that Lu Xiaotian's spells were very powerful and could easily kill the black-armored middle-aged man and several other cultivators. He thought that Lu Xiaotian was a rare person who had cultivated spells to an extremely high level. The reason why he entered the Blackwater Stronghold's mine was to use the spirit stones in the mine to practice spells. He didn't expect that Lu Xiaotian wasn't only proficient in spells. He actually only found out now that he was a powerful insect cultivator.
There were more than a hundred Shadow Ants, which was more than double the number of flying mosquitoes. Under Lu Xiaotian's command, the Shadow Ants divided into several groups and surrounded the flying mosquitoes. In a moment, they bit the flying mosquitoes and ate them clean.
"Young Master Lu's Shadow Ants are really powerful!" Weng Zhihan praised.
Lu Xiaotian didn't take Weng Zhihan's praise to heart. He recalled the Shadow Ants that had eaten their fill and asked, "How far are we from the secret chamber you mentioned?"
Weng Zhihan said, "About four more hours. However, the miasma and poisonous fog will become thicker towards the end. I'm afraid we'll need to collect some detoxifying herbs. Why don't Young Master Lu rest for a while? This old man remembers a place where these detoxifying herbs grow. This old man will go and collect some before returning."
Lu Xiaotian frowned and said, "What if you go alone? What if it's dangerous?"
Weng Zhihan smiled and said, "There aren't many demonic beasts and poisonous insects in that place. It's just that collecting the herbs is a bit troublesome. It's just a bit of time. This old man can do this kind of simple work. There's no need for Young Master Lu to do it. "
Lu Xiaotian was about to say something when suddenly, there seemed to be a slight movement in the other Spirit Insect Pouch. Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be here. Go and return quickly."
"Alright. In less than two hours, this old man will definitely return." Weng Zhihan hurriedly nodded and said.
Looking at Weng Zhihan's back as he left, Lu Xiaotian revealed a thoughtful expression. It was not until the other party had completely disappeared that Lu Xiaotian untied the other Spirit Insect Pouch at his waist. He opened the pouch, and a few orange-yellow insect eggs rolled out.
Lu Xiaotian happily discovered that there was a small crack on one of the insect eggs.
"This is great. I've spent more than six years using my supernatural power to nurture it. Finally, a World Breaking Insect Egg is about to hatch."
There was no one around. Lu Xiaotian could no longer suppress his inner emotions. He was overjoyed. He saw that the crack on the yellow insect egg was getting bigger and bigger. It was a strange insect that was the length of an index finger. Its entire body was light yellow. Its body was segmented. Its shape was a bit like a centipede, but its head was like a silkworm. It wormed its way out of the insect egg.
"Chirp chirp …" The World Breaking Insect swallowed the eggshell bite by bite. The yellow color of the insect's body deepened.
"Looks like I'll have to let this little fellow recognize me as its master in advance. Otherwise, I won't be able to deal with the changes that will happen later." Lu Xiaotian mumbled. He slid his right thumb across his middle finger and flicked a drop of Blood Essence onto the World Breaking Insect's body.
"Chirp …" The World Breaking Insect shrieked. However, it had just been born. It did not have a strong resistance to a cultivator's Mind Power like an adult insect. The World Breaking Insect struggled for a while before giving in.
