Chapter 891: Chapter 886: Return Part 2

Underworld Southern Region

Above the Vermilion Bird Holy Court.

In the vast sea of white clouds, a hazy white full moon slowly emerged halfway from the clouds.

The full moon appeared semi-transparent, with faint colorful lights and light spots flickering on and off inside.

It seemed like someone was fighting inside.

Outside, the cloud sea churned, yet within the full moon, winds surged wildly.

Four cultivators with varying auras were frantically slicing and attacking a twisted mass of flesh with nine serpent heads.

Among the four cultivators, three were elderly men clad in crimson robes of the Vermilion Bird Holy Court.

The remaining one was a middle-aged man, holding a sword in both hands, with long hair tied up, dressed in a light green Taoist Robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an immortal demeanor.

With several swift slashes of his Longsword, he carved out dazzling golden Runes, rapidly striking the Nine-headed Hydra, creating massive deep pits with explosions.

But the Nine-headed Hydra’s regenerative ability was astounding, utterly ignoring his attacks, concentrating instead on confronting the other three, unleashing blood-colored flames.

As for the Golden Talismans, to its towering body over ten meters tall, they healed completely with a single breath, indifferent.

The four cultivators showed a faint trace of anxiety on their faces.

Among them, someone’s aura was already beginning to falter.

"Brother Wang, how is the summoning Formation of the Demon God boy now? If this continues, we might not hold out. We must not delay!"

The man in the green Taoist Robe had a serious and solemn expression, directly conveying his voice.

"This is the heartland of our Vermilion Bird Holy Court, unless we’re out of our minds, there’s no reason for us to delay! Bing Jiuqing, why don’t you unleash your Supreme Mysterious Skill of the Mystic Spirit Nine Transformations?

Are you just going to talk big, thinking you can muddle through by throwing a few Heavenly Mansion Forbidden Laws?"

One of the red-robed elders sternly shouted.

Bing Jiuqing sneered, saying no more.

Only the golden Talisman Techniques in his hands grew increasingly sluggish.

"Hahahaha!! Mere Human Race, besides being somewhat adept at scheming against each other, they’re just useless maggots!

When the Great Insect Mother descends, it will be the day your sun membranes shatter!"

The Nine-headed Hydra in the center emitted a wild, sharp laugh.

The four attackers were too lazy to respond, continuing to silently hold their position.

The Nine-headed Hydra was not being idle either.

The nine serpent heads swung wildly, each releasing nine different poisonous gases, which merged effortlessly, corroding and destroying the surrounding blood-colored flames and various Divine Skills.

While the opponents delayed time, so did it.

"At the time of the great calamity, it will be the day our Insect Race unifies the myriad realms! Mere Human Race pigs, how dare you resist! When my Three Flower Insect Queen descends... kehkehkehkeh..."

The Nine-headed Hydra was not just bored fighting these four for fun.

"Three Flower Insect Queen? What is that?" a curious voice inquired.

"Who!!?"

The Nine-headed Hydra’s heart thumped violently, her nine heads rapidly scanned her surroundings.

Only then did she realize a handsome man in a white robe was suspended in mid-air behind her, at some unknown time.

The robe of the man bore a small blue-green mark, resembling a combination of a small mountain and a small lake.

She remembered all the Sect emblems of the Human Race but had never seen such a mark before.

"Who are you!?"

She swiftly moved to put some distance between herself and the man in the white robe, her expression serious.

The other four attackers had their spells fall to the void as well, slightly startled by the scene.

This was supposed to be a massive imprisoning Formation formed by gathering their entire Sect’s power.

How did a Human Race cultivator suddenly infiltrate it?

Uncertain about friend or foe, the four also quickly stepped back, since their goal was to delay time, and with the Nine-headed Hydra not moving, they were also content to remain still.

The man in the white robe glanced at the four, then at the Nine-headed Hydra.

"What place is this? I need to go to Pine Sword Sect, do you know how to get there?"

The four exchanged bewildered looks.

Finally, one from the Vermilion Bird Holy Court stepped forward, answering.

"Daoist friend, the Pine Sword Sect is over a hundred thousand miles away from here. This is the Vermilion Bird Holy Court. May I ask, how did you enter our encircling Barrier?"

"Who’s in charge of Pine Sword Sect now?" The man in the white robe nodded, remembering the name Vermilion Bird Holy Court, a Sect he also heard about during his time in the Underworld.

"In charge... do you mean the Sect Master? Naturally, it is Nan Shunqing, the Sect Master who could cover the skies with one hand. But it’s said he hasn’t appeared in ten thousand years. As for current operational matters, they should be handled by Daoist Master Xuan He, Lin Hesheng, the Sect Leader."

"Ten thousand years?!" The man in the white robe was taken aback.

"How could it be...."

He was none other than Sherie Divine Monarch Lin Xin, just returned from the Shattered Wheel Hall.

He had only just entered the Underworld, not expecting his first stop to be the Vermilion Bird Holy Court.

And upon inquiring about the Pine Sword Sect, he was even more surprised to learn that Nan Shunqing hadn’t emerged for over ten thousand years... the difference in the flow of time was astonishing...

"May I ask who you are...."

The people from the Vermilion Bird Holy Court could discern that this man in the white robe was no ordinary cultivator. Anyone who could make the nearly Polar Region-threatened Nine-headed Hydra halt its attack was certainly not a trivial figure.

Hence, the four chose to interact with extreme caution.

"I....."

Lin Xin glanced at the four, then at the Nine-headed Hydra.

These beings, only at the Nascent Soul Stage, were so weak that he suspected even a slightly heavy breath from him could annihilate their very souls.

"You guys stop fighting for now, take me to Pine Sword Sect first, then continue." he said calmly.

At this moment, the Nine-headed Hydra trembled. A dense mass of black energy surged from behind it, rushing towards the empty space in front of it.

The dark mist was filled with countless small insects, which crazily gathered together, quickly forming a voluptuous, snow-white, naked seductive girl.

From her feet upwards, the girl was formed inch by inch by the insects.

It took just a breath for her to be completely formed.

Her full chest gently swayed, her beautiful eyes sparkled, as she swiped her slender hand.

Suddenly, a pitch-black, soft, shiny tight-fitting dress appeared on her body, perfectly accentuating the curves of her chest, waist, and legs.

"Yin Fu Insect Girl...!!!"

The other four cultivators went pale as ghosts and trembled all over at the sight of her.

"How is this possible... wasn’t it supposed to be the Three-flower Insect Girl... How could it possibly be the Yin Fu Insect Girl herself!!??"

The voice of the man in the green Taoist Robe trembled.

"I happened to be bored and got the summons, so I came over to find some snacks... didn’t expect to catch a big fish."

The Yin Fu Insect Girl’s long hair reached her waist, with a white bell hanging at the end, gently swaying in the wind.

"Swine, run, with all your might! If you run too slowly and block your Qi-Blood, affecting my taste, I will get angry...."

As her beautiful eyes sparkled, a faint grayness slowly spread in the surrounding environment.

That was a special aura only infinitely close to the Polar Region could possess.

"Go!!"

The four great cultivators turned without a second thought and rushed toward the crescent-shaped barrier.

Every time the Yin Fu Insect Girl descended, it was nothing less than a natural disaster.

Unless there was a supreme existence like the Supreme Elder to take action, the Yin Fu Insect Girl was simply unsolvable.

"Run, flee, it just happens that I am bored and a little distraction is not bad."

The Yin Fu Insect Girl giggled coquettishly.

Suddenly, she noticed there was still someone who hadn’t fled, hovering motionless in place.

"Aren’t you running?" She suddenly showed interest and looked at him.

Lin Xin slowly glanced at the other four who had already escaped far away.

"Did you chase them away so you could guide me yourself?"

His words carried a kind of indescribable cold stiffness, his expression appearing no different from that of an ordinary person, yet always giving off a sense of apathy.

"Which Sect are you from? Why haven’t I ever seen your insignia?" The Yin Fu Insect Girl felt she had encountered an idiot or a madman.

For such weaklings of the Human Race, encountering a Yin Fu Insect Girl like her, other than a few who can contend, the rest are all swine. Yet, this person dared to talk of making herself a guide?

"If you answer well, I might not kill you, only eat one of your arms every day."

The Insect Girl said generously.

Lin Xin was slightly taken aback, then suddenly laughed.

He didn’t feel like laughing inside, but he thought he should laugh, so he laughed.

How many years had it been since someone dared to say such things in front of him?

For a moment, it was as if he was back in the scene of struggling in the Underworld’s dark court.

"What an... adorable little thing."

He slowly raised his hand, lightly aiming toward the Insect Girl’s head.

Even though they were tens of meters apart, as he raised his hand.

The expression on the Yin Fu Insect Girl’s face instantly changed.

The sky before her eyes turned black.

It was as if a vast, infinite, boundless and terrifying force field coalesced into the shape of a giant hand, gently patting her head.

"Insect Sense Myriad....!!!"

Her Innate Divine Ability had just been activated halfway before she was suddenly frozen. The power inside her body seemed to turn to ice, stalling abruptly in the midst of using the Divine Skills, not budging no matter how she urged it.

The Yin Fu Insect Girl was finally horrified, trembling all over, realizing she had encountered a top-tier powerful being.

Her eyes went completely dark, body paralyzed like a clay doll, seized by that giant hand.

Whoosh....

When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing beside that white-robed man.

"You know where the Pine Forest Sword Sect is, right? Take me there."

Lin Xin casually asked.

"I...I do...." The Yin Fu Insect Girl’s heart trembled, even her Innate Divine Ability failed to be used just now; to know that was a top-tier Divine Skill capable of unleashing Polar Region power!

Yet, in front of this member of the Human Race, it couldn’t even be unleashed.

"Be obedient, and I won’t eat you." Lin Xin smiled stiffly, gently pinching her cheek.

The Insect Girl felt goosebumps all over her body, and in that brief moment, over half of the insects that made up her body died.

Not killed by force, but scared to death!

Feeling the changes within, the Yin Fu Insect Girl finally understood the gap between them.

Wait! Pine Forest Sword Sect....!!!

Suddenly, she remembered an ancient legend passed down among the mother insects.

Could it be.....!!?

She focused and looked at the white-robed man in front of her, body trembling.

A conjecture flashed through her mind explosively.

"Could it be... is he one of the legendary figures of the Pine Forest Demon Sect who nearly unified the entire Human Race!!?"

Her beautiful eyes widened, her whole body felt icy cold.

The Pine Forest Demon Sect, that was an era of vast grandeur.

No one could stop the erosion and rolling over by the Pine Forest Demon Sect, just as no one could block the sun and moon’s light from shining upon the earth.
