Devour

Chapter 125 What’s in the Bag

Cheng Bai reached out and knocked on the iron tripod, and asked, "Junior Brother Chi, are you in there?"

Chi Zhongming's head popped out of the cauldron, he looked down at Cheng Bai and said, "Brother Cheng, it's extremely dangerous outside. I happened to hide here and just managed to escape with my life."

If it were an ordinary building, it would most likely have been knocked down by a swarm of giant insects. This giant tripod did not attract the attention of mad bees and lightning scorpions, and even the burning insects would not come to cause trouble.

Cheng Bai said: "I will protect you, follow me to find other people."

Chi Zhongming looked left and right, then jumped down from the cauldron and said softly, "Master and the elders have retreated to the Transmission Hall. I don't know if they are alive or dead."

Cheng Bai naturally knew the place and pulled Chi Zhongming over.

The Transmission Hall is located on the western peaks of the Three Sages Valley. It is the hall with the most disciples besides the Bailian Hall. The tall red walls are set off by the bright yellow glazed tiles, which glow faintly in the moonlight. There are holes everywhere on the walls, and the broken tiles and ruins cast mottled shadows on the ground.

In the shadowy corner of the wall, a huge tortoise shell lay quietly, its texture hard and rich in black luster. Cheng Bai recognized it as Xuan Bo's shell and went forward to check it out.

There was only a little flesh and blood left in the shell. The old demon king, who had practiced for four thousand years and had built a strong shell, could not save his life. He was eaten up by a small and ferocious demon insect. Not even his inner elixir was left.

Cheng Bai turned over the turtle shell and found no trace of the evil insect. However, he found five pink insect eggs the size of a little finger in the remaining flesh and blood. He put them into the jade box that once contained gold water, and put the turtle shell into the treasure bag.

After passing through the gate wall, there are wide steps leading up to the top of the mountain.

The elder of Qi Sect led many disciples and put up a strong resistance for a long time. Various magic weapons left traces of war and a faint smoke remained.

Corpses were scattered all over the stairs, and blood was flowing like a river, dripping down. Lying there was the huge corpse of the Gibbon King Qi Bin, with half of its forehead shattered by the Burning Insect Flame Explosion. The scene was horrifying, but it was still holding tightly to the Burning Insect that was stabbed with swords and knives, and they died together.

Cheng Bai sighed and said, "The demon kings didn't expect that they would be on the same boat with Qi Zong."

Go past the corpses and continue walking upwards, and you will reach the core of the Transmission Hall.

This place is located at the highest point of the mountain west of Sanxian Valley. The terrain is flat. The disciples of Qi Zong used to gather here, standing on the top platform, facing the morning sun and breeze, practicing martial arts to keep fit, brave and agile.

Now, corpses are everywhere, and ordinary disciples and elders are not spared. Houses are dilapidated and desolate, broken bricks and tiles are piled up like mountains, and thick smoke is rising from many places.

Cheng Bai's spiritual sense swept towards the relatively intact hall, and he said vigilantly: "There are unfathomable masters inside, and there are more than one."

Chi Zhongming asked hurriedly: "What should we do? Where is Master?"

"Also in there. They're fine, go in."

Cheng Bai weighed the danger and gradually understood the situation, then he took Chi Zhongming slowly into the Kung Fu Transmission Hall.

In the spacious hall, there were several groups of people scattered in all directions, sitting cross-legged facing each other.

Cheng Bai slowly approached and looked carefully. He saw that the group with the largest number of people on the west side was Fang Wanzhan, Zhuang Tailai, Tong Feng, Yun Juan, Shen Ya, He Lipang, Xing Jue, Ruan Taoran, Hei Long, Qu Cong, Cen Ge and the three Silver Sail Envoys. The team led by Yun Juan was surrounded by the others intentionally or unintentionally.

To the north was a man in a white robe with stiff features on his face. His light robe fluttered in the night wind, occasionally revealing the white bones underneath. It was actually the Bone Emperor himself.

On the east side is a charming woman with purple-red hair, purple-red armor, and sharp wings on her back like claws. She has a beautiful smile, but she is the insect god.

The old man in gray on the south side was also an acquaintance. He looked sloppy as always and it was obviously Li Haotian, whom I had met twice.

Cheng Bai was secretly delighted: "So he came to support Qi Sect. No wonder they have been able to resist until now."

The four parties had been confronting each other for a long time, and Cheng Bai's arrival broke the silence.

Fang Wanzhan took a quick glance and said loudly, "These two young men are my disciples."

Bone King said disdainfully: "No matter how many people come, the result will be the same."

The Insect God laughed and said, "Young Master Li, you were so charming and dashing in the past, why are you reduced to being a beggar today?"

Li Haotian said: "This matter has nothing to do with your two tribes. Both the Bone Prison and the Kuihu Insect Tribe think highly of themselves. Why do they have to compete to kneel down and lick the strong men of other tribes?"

Bone King snorted coldly and said, "Ridiculous, did this god kneel down and lick you?"

The Insect God said with a smile: "What I want is the seed of a strong man, to give birth to a stronger Insect King. If Master Li can go against the tide and become a saint, I can also consider kneeling down and licking his boots."

While they were talking, Cheng Bai brought Chi Zhongming to the back of the Qi Zong formation, sat down cross-legged and watched what would happen.

Fang Wanzhan said loudly: "Senior Insect God is an ancient god, the leader of the clan, and has great power. Why did he come to the headquarters of the Weapon Sect to kill people?"

The Insect God said casually: "We need to find a few things and destroy a few more."

The Bone King interrupted and said, "Those bones are telling the truth. She wants the Lava Crystal Fire inherited from the Weapon Sect and the blood of the Cloud Gate Queen to please the Sun Chaser in order to have a good night's sleep. By the way, she destroyed the Weapon Sect and the Four Symbols Cauldron that could have produced the Yellow Turban Warrior, so as to avoid any threat to the Sun Chaser Legion."

Therefore, Bailian Hall was attacked the most severely, and all the refining cauldrons that could be seen were destroyed. Fang Wanzhan's face turned pale, and Yun Juan closed her eyes and remained silent.

The Insect God was exposed, but he didn't care. He giggled and said, "Brother Bone King, why did you come all the way here?"

Bone Emperor said bluntly: "This is closely related to the path that I pursue, the source of power. If you kill Sect Master Fang and take the source of divine fire, you cannot waste his body. It must belong to me."

Li Haotian stared at the skeleton body that was vaguely visible under the Bone Emperor's robes and exclaimed: "What a powerful way. Ten thousand swords temper the bones. When the task is completed, it will be refined into an immortal magic sword fairy, and the flesh and blood will be reborn, which is not inferior to the Heavenly Sword Body."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Bai looked with his spiritual eyes and could see clearly through the white robe.

An ordinary person has twelve pairs of sternums, a total of twenty-four. But the number of Bone Kings far exceeds this number, with hundreds of them stacked one on top of the other, each of which is crystal clear, as smooth as jade, and has a hint of sword light.

The art of fighting is secrecy and cunning, while the sword is strength and will.

The Bone Emperor gave up the great way of art represented by the Source of Divine Fire and specialized in the great way of sword. He understood himself clearly and had great ambitions. He will surely achieve greater success in the future.

Cheng Bai was secretly shocked: "No wonder it gave the Dark Destruction Ghost Fire away. It turns out that there is a more suitable way. Why did it look for Master Shangfang?"

Li Haotian said frankly: "Master Fang was born with the hollow sword bone, a rare sword genius in ten thousand years. He is a good material for achieving the magic sword body, which attracts the evil demons' covetousness."

The Insect God echoed, "It's just a sword bone. If you like it, just take it. The lava crystal fire is the fire left by the lava dragon mother who was killed by the emperor in ancient times. This tribe has long been extinct on the continent. It is said that their descendants hid in Mount Xumi. How fierce was the struggle among the ancient tribes? Why is no one optimistic about it now?"

Between the lines, he already treated Fang Wanzhan as a dead object.

Fang Wanzhan said sadly: "Qiongqi Continent has delayed me a lot. If I could have stayed in Shanhui City, my achievements today would not have been seen as easy for the demons to take."

The Bone King sneered and said, "I have seen too many self-proclaimed geniuses who brag about this. Why don't you join me and build the Sword Immortal Road together? We will prosper together."

Li Haotian laughed and said, "We are the pride of the human race. We cannot fall into the hands of other races. The Bone Emperor has extraordinary cultivation, but he may not be able to defeat me."

The Insect God laughed and said, "What if I am included?"

She opened her mouth and pink insects with a metallic luster came out. They were about an inch long and formed a group one after another. They buzzed and spread their wings and flew towards Li Haotian.

Hei Long was horrified when he saw this, and whispered, "Blood-sucking insects, they were the ones who ate Xuan Bo."

Qu Cong secretly wiped his sweat and said, "This insect is weird. It has great power but is so small."

The smaller the volume, the more terrifying the concentrated force. For an object weighing one hundred kilograms and one meter square, the pressure brought by an object that is one inch square is obviously much greater than that brought by an object that is one hundred kilograms square.

Under normal circumstances, the bigger the body, the stronger the power it can support. The blood-sucking worm seriously broke the relevant rules. With a small body, it can exert a power several times stronger than the giant Qu Cong, which makes the two demon kings feel terrified.

Li Haotian also opened his mouth, and a series of inch-long swords as crystal-clear as jade flew out in seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

The seven swords were like tigers and rhinoceros out of cages, unstoppable, flying in the air as fast as lightning. One sword pierced a blood-sucking insect, and then spun and crossed to pierce another one. The sound was like striking gold and jade. The blood-sucking insects killed in the air fell to the ground like pearls falling on a jade plate, and in a few breaths the entire swarm of insects was wiped out.
