"It's here, it's finally here!"
Shang Ye Shaoqing hid behind lush spiritual herbs, staring at Shui Qingyue and her group.
Wan Qitai led the way, "Holy Maiden, please. This is the Myriad Flower Valley. It is hidden and defended by formations, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect. The Blood Ant Queen is at the very center and is about to mature and lay eggs."
"This place actually..."
Wen Daier and You Lanzzi's eyes sharpened simultaneously.
The entire spiritual field was filled with pillars, to which were bound unconscious people. Spiritual herbs and flowers grew all over their bodies. Even with their vast experience, the chilling and bizarre scene made them tremble.
Although Chu Tianshu had learned of it in advance, seeing it with his own eyes still delivered a powerful shock.
He followed behind Wen Daier and You Lanzzi, observing cautiously.
So this is how it is. It’s so terrifying! No wonder Senior Brother and the others didn't want these spiritual medicines anymore. He felt like throwing up just looking at it.
"Didn't expect this, Master You Lanzzi, that such a method of cultivating spiritual medicine exists in the world."
Shui Qingyue said with a hint of pride. Although she also felt a bit unaccustomed, thinking that it could hasten the ripening of spiritual flowers and fruits and help her demonic pet lay eggs, she didn't care at all.
What did those ordinary people matter to her if they died!
You Lanzzi couldn't help but ask, "Holy Maiden, this cultivation method seems to have been lost for a long time. How did you know about it?"
"There's no need to tell you that."
Shui Qingyue chuckled lightly, swept her long hair aside, and walked towards the giant white mound in the center of the spiritual medicine field.
This was the treasure she cared about.
Everyone followed behind her. Everything in Myriad Flower Valley was as usual. Wan Qitai and Shui Qingyue and the others didn't notice that there were others quietly watching them.
Not far away, Su Luo nodded at Li Tianjue. As Chu Tianshu walked nearby, he secretly transmitted, "Second Senior Brother, we are near you. Don't worry, everything is ready."
Chu Tianshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waiting to catch the turtle in the urn.
He gently tugged at Wen Daier and transmitted, "Be careful, don't stay so close. Be cautious later."
Wen Daier's gaze swept over Chu Tianshu's face, filled with both surprise and allure. If it weren't for the important matter at hand and the presence of enemies, she would have wanted to hug this man and kiss him a few times.
The two deliberately slowed their pace, falling behind, pretending to be awestruck by the spiritual medicine farmers in the field.
"Blood Ant Queen, my demonic pet!"
Looking at the giant translucent insect before her, Shui Qingyue's breathing grew heavy.
Although the Blood Ant Queen's fleshy appearance and plump body were ugly, the thought that it was about to lay eggs and hatch into countless blood ants made her tremble with excitement.
Shangguan Hanyu was also looking at the Blood Ant Queen, feeling very envious.
If only this were his demonic pet.
As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt something brushing against his feet. Shangguan Hanyu thought it was just weeds and casually moved. Suddenly, the thing coiled around him, and he realized something was wrong.
In the blink of an eye, a sudden change occurred.
Vines grew wildly, attacking the surrounding Seven Star Sect disciples like tentacles. Sect Master Wan Qitai and Steward Zheng's expressions changed. Before they could react, they were already entangled by the spiritual herbs in the spiritual medicine field.
"What's going on?!" Steward Zheng exclaimed, hesitating to tear off the spiritual herbs.
"Enemy attack, act!"
Wan Qitai immediately understood, forcefully broke free from the vines, and shouted orders. kuAiδugg
The Seven Star Sect disciples in Myriad Flower Valley drew their long swords and hacked indiscriminately. These were the spiritual herbs they had carefully nurtured, but now they had become deadly weapons, constantly attacking them.
Shangguan Hanyu's heart tightened, and he immediately drew his long sword, cutting the vines that had ensnared his legs.
"Who's there, get out!"
As he attacked, he cursed loudly and heard a cold sneer.
"It's your grandpa!"
Du Wei jumped out, controlling the spiritual herbs and flowers here, constantly attacking his opponents.
He possessed the power of wood, and for him, Myriad Flower Valley was the best combat environment.
Su Luo, Tang Xiaoguo, and Li Tianjue finally appeared. Shui Qingyue's expression changed. She assumed they had infiltrated beforehand and sneered, "So it's you, Li Tianjue, Su Luo. Trying to steal spiritual herbs for detox? Hmph, don't dream about it."
Wen Daier smiled slightly, "Shui Qingyue, you are so naive. Do you really think you have a sure victory?"
"You..."
Shui Qingyue finally realized she had been deceived again.
Looking at the hostile gazes, especially Li Tianjue's cold and murderous look, her remaining affection turned into mad hatred. She screamed, "Li Tianjue, it's all your fault! I'm going to kill you..."
"Oh dear, even if I threw myself at him, he wouldn't look at me. Since I can't have him, I'll destroy him!"
Suddenly, Shang Ye Shaoqing said in a mocking, shrill voice, imitating a woman, "I, the Holy Maiden of the Grand Beginning Holy Land, am noble and beautiful. How dare someone dislike me? Absolutely not. All men in the world must bow at my feet, or else they will be killed without mercy. Hahahaha... Shui Qingyue, have I spoken your inner thoughts?"
"Shang Ye Shaoqing, shut up!"
Shui Qingyue's pretty face turned pale with anger. She clenched her fists and said furiously, "You dare to humiliate me, I'll kill you first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the gleaming bracelet on her wrist emitted a dazzling golden light, striking fiercely at Shang Ye Shaoqing.
Despite the sarcasm, Shang Ye Shaoqing naturally wouldn't be careless and dodged aside.
Boom boom boom!
Spiritual lights shot out one after another. Shui Qingyue attacked without reservation, blasting the spiritual field into disarray.
The spiritual medicine farmers were annihilated under her violent attacks, and countless spiritual herbs turned to ashes, scattering everywhere. Even the disciples of the Seven Star Sect were caught in the crossfire if they weren't careful. In just a few months, Shui Qingyue had become much more powerful.
Su Luo quickly put on a hand crossbow and aimed at Shui Qingyue. Just as she was about to attack, Shangguan Hanyu suddenly charged forward.
"Su Luo, you slut, you've disrupted things time and again, I'm going to kill you!" The old grudges and new hatred had been suppressed for more than half a year. Seeing Su Luo again, he couldn't control himself and just wanted to kill her.
"With you?" Su Luo's lips curled into a smile.
She aimed the hand crossbow at Shangguan Hanyu and shot an arrow with a swish.
Sensing the killing intent, Shangguan Hanyu dodged and the crossbow bolt grazed his arm, making him break out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected Su Luo to have another new weapon, and he had almost been hit.
Before he could react, an even sharper sword light descended, originating from Li Tianjue.
"You, you're actually attacking two against one!"
Shangguan Hanyu dodged and shouted, "Unfair, Qingxu Heaven is shameless!"
Su Luo sneered, "In a battle to the death, you talk about fairness, Shangguan Hanyu. Are you naive or foolish?"
Li Tianjue remained silent, but his attacks were all fatal, forcing Shangguan Hanyu to flee in all directions, completely outmatched. Even with Shui Qingyue's combined attack, they were constantly retreating. Her pretty face was chilled with anger, yet she was unwilling to retreat in defeat.
Li Tianjue was too powerful, she still couldn't defeat him!
Even with the people from the Seven Star Sect, it wouldn't be enough, let alone Wen Daier watching from the side.
Suddenly, Shui Qingyue sensed something.
The Blood Ant Queen had matured!
The giant translucent fleshy worm in the center of the valley wriggled even more violently. The contractual power told Shui Qingyue that after consuming spiritual fruits and flowers for several months, it had finally reached the stage of maturity and egg-laying.
Shui Qingyue burst into laughter and leaped up, rushing towards the Blood Ant Queen.
"Hahahaha! My demonic pet, the Holy Maiden, is finally going to give birth to an army! Li Tianjue, you all wait to die!" Her long hair flew wildly, her skirt fluttered, and her ferocious expression made her look like a demoness, eager to kill everything.
Pink eggs were expelled from the Ant Queen's body, quickly piling up into a small mountain.
Each ant egg was larger than a human head, and pink blood ants emerged.
The blood ants were a bit disoriented just after hatching, but driven by hunger, they twitched the antennae on their heads, as if sensing the aroma of food in the air, and quickly crawled towards everyone.
