Chapter 354 - 354 354 Gu Insect Outbreak Forty-Seven More

354: Chapter 354: Gu Insect Outbreak (Forty-Seven More) 354: Chapter 354: Gu Insect Outbreak (Forty-Seven More) “We returned too late!”

Long Yan and Zhuge Qianzhong were the fastest to return to Pill King Hall, but when they arrived, the Netherworld Ghost Insects had already spread to most of the hall.

The scene before them was a land of death.

Before, when Zhuge Qianzhong sensed the breaking of the defensive array, the two had expected the disastrous state of Pill King Hall.

What the two of them didn’t expect was that after Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect extinguished Pill King Hall, they left the Netherworld Ghost Insects here, turning Pill King Hall into a completely dead place, making it impossible to rebuild.

Zhuge Qianzhong’s face looked extremely terrible, his body trembling, and his eyes filled with explosive killing intent.

“Puchi.”

Qi and blood attacked his heart, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.

“Ancient Sword Gate, Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, I, Zhuge Qianzhong, swear not to rest until you are destroyed!”

Pill King Hall had a legacy of tens of thousands of years and stood tall on the Shenwu Continent, becoming one of the Five Great Powers.

This was the result of the painstaking efforts of many Pill King Hall ancestors.

However, now it was destroyed in his hands, with even the two Supreme Elders falling as a result.

Zhuge Qianzhong felt extremely guilty in his heart, unable to explain himself to the predecessors of Pill King Hall.

“Senior Brother, the urgent task now is to find a way to survive this calamity.

In the future, there will be countless opportunities to destroy Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect and rebuild Pill King Hall!”

Long Yan’s face also looked very ugly.

“What’s your plan?”

Zhuge Qianzhong calmed his emotions and looked at Long Yan.

“It’s clear that Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect have now been controlled by Leng Jiuyou.

The Leng Family, Lanling City, and Wanyao Valley have not made any moves so far, and we don’t know what they’re thinking.

Soon, the Netherworld Ghost Insects will surely spread across the entire Shenwu Continent, and the calamity will descend.

For now, the priority is to find a way to protect ourselves!”

After a pause, Long Yan continued, “Pill King Hall’s mountain gate has been destroyed, so my suggestion is to let all the people of Pill King Hall go to Ling Wu City.”

He was also worried about Ling Wu City.

Lian Bubai was very powerful, but if the Netherworld Ghost Insects broke out, Lian Bubai would definitely be powerless to stop it.

With Pill King Hall’s mountain gate destroyed, going to Ling Wu City was the best choice.

“That’s a good idea.”

Zhuge Qianzhong thought for a while and agreed with Long Yan’s suggestion.

Although Pill King Hall’s mountain gate had been destroyed, the core strength of Pill King Hall was still intact.

As long as they survived this calamity, they could completely rebuild Pill King Hall.

For now, the most important thing was to find a way to survive this calamity.

One day later, all the people of Pill King Hall returned, and Zhuge Qianzhong ordered them to head towards Ling Wu City.

Time passed day by day.

The insect tide had already broken through the God Sealing Boundary and began to sweep across Shenwu Continent, with Martial God Palace being the first to suffer.

Following Wu Kuangyun’s orders, all the disciples of Martial God Palace returned to the palace, and the news was spread, allowing the people within the territory of Martial God Palace to begin evacuating.

As the insect tide attacked, some people who didn’t have time to escape would inevitably be swallowed by the tide.

In less than three days, one-third of Martial God Palace’s territory was swept by Netherworld Ghost Insects, which were now spreading towards the central part of Shenwu Continent.

Under the sweeping tide of insects, Martial God Palace was in grave danger.

Six days later, Long Yan and the others from Pill King Hall arrived in Ling Wu City.

In just half a month, centering on Ling Wu City, a huge imperial city had taken shape.

The Ten Great Dynasties were no more, replaced by a brand new dynasty – the Yanlong Dynasty.

The Long Family was now the master of the Yanlong Dynasty.

Nowadays, more and more people were actively joining the Yanlong Dynasty, and the overall strength of the Yanlong Dynasty was growing stronger every day.

So far, there were no signs of an outbreak of Netherworld Ghost Insects within the territory of the Yanlong Dynasty.

Upon learning of the situation on the Shenwu Continent from Long Yan, Lian Bubai’s expression turned serious.

As the insect tide swept across the Shenwu Continent, the entire continent would become a living hell, with everyone unable to escape their fate.

To survive this calamity, it would be exceedingly difficult.

In the sky above Ling Wu City, Long Yan, Lian Bubai, and Zhuge Qianzhong stood together.

“Kid Yan, do you have any plans?”

Lian Bubai asked.

Long Yan shook his head slightly and said, “Relying on us alone, it is impossible to turn the tide.

Protecting ourselves would be our limit.

To fight against this calamity, we need to gather the strength of everyone on Shenwu Continent.”

“Gui Yunxiao and Pill King Hall have already been controlled by Leng Jiuyou.

Lanling City, Leng Family, and Wanyao Valley have been slow to respond.

It is very difficult to gather everyone’s strength together!”

Zhuge Qianzhong said.

Lanling City and Wanyao Valley were obviously unwilling to take action, while the Leng Family’s intentions remained unknown.

“We can only take it one step at a time!”

Long Yan’s gaze was also heavy.

Although he could deal with Netherworld Ghost Insects, it was unrealistic to rely on his strength alone.

Moreover, the Netherworld Ghost Insects were not the most terrifying thing.

The one who started this catastrophe was Leng Jiuyou, and who knew what other means he had.

After discussing for a while, the three came up with a countermeasure.

First, they let the disciples of Pill King Hall be stationed throughout the Yanlong Dynasty to closely monitor the movements of Netherworld Ghost Insects and observe the changes silently.

Next, Zhuge Qianzhong went into seclusion.

He was preparing to breakthrough to Martial Venerable.

With the help of the Nascent Infant Pill, he had a sixty percent chance of success.

As time passed day by day, the entire Shenwu Continent was shrouded in the shadow of the Netherworld Ghost Insects, and people were panic-stricken.

Even the territories of Ancient Sword Gate and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect had outbreaks of Netherworld Ghost Insects.

The calamity descended, and Shenwu Continent was in grave danger.

……

“Master, this is what we got after destroying Pill King Hall!”

Inside the Small Qiankun World of Five Emperors City

Kill Wuji respectfully stood in front of Leng Jiuyou and handed over several storage rings.

Leng Jiuyou glanced at them and said, “These spiritual veins are not enough.”

After destroying Pill King Hall, Gu Yunxiao and Feng Wanli had drained all of its spiritual veins.

One top-quality spiritual vein, three middle-quality spiritual veins, and twenty-three lower-quality spiritual veins.

This was the real foundation of Pill King Hall, accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

Now, it had all fallen into Leng Jiuyou’s hands in one fell swoop.

“Inside are some elixirs.

You go to Lanling City, you know what to do, right?”

Leng Jiuyou handed a storage ring to Kill Wuji.

“Yes!”

Kill Wuji took the storage ring and bowed before leaving.

“Master, these spiritual veins are still not enough to open the Void Channel.

There are quite a few spiritual veins in Lanling City.

If we get all of them, it should be enough.

However, Kill Wuji alone may not be able to obtain the spiritual veins.”

Ming Jiu said.

Leng Jiuyou’s goal was the spiritual veins.

Burning spiritual veins was the only way for him to support opening the Void Channel and devour the original source of the Demon Realm from the distant Demon Realm to restore his demon body.

Only with the Nine Nether King Body could he truly unleash the power of the Nine Nether Pupil.

“Wait for the Nether King Gu Poison to completely erupt in Lanling City, and then you and I will personally take action to seize the spiritual veins.”

Leng Jiuyou’s goal was to let the Nether King Gu Poison disperse Lanling City’s focus first and then take advantage of the situation to seize the spiritual veins with Ming Jiu.
