Chapter 1833: Blocking the Way
Wind Thunder Old Ghost paused in the act of tearing into the roast meat, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
The Insect Taoist smiled mysteriously, "I mean it literally. My Soul-Entangling Gu can perfectly solve this problem, otherwise, do you really think I met with the Young Master without any plans?"
"Soul-Entangling Gu?"
"That's right, the Soul-Entangling Gu!" the Insect Taoist said, "I planted the Soul-Entangling Gu inside Hao Lian Wushuang, and then injected the Young Master's aura into it, so when Hao Lian Wushuang wakes up, she will instinctively obey the Young Master's commands. Won't that resolve the concerns you have?"
Wind Thunder Old Ghost asked skeptically, "Will your Soul-Entangling Gu really work? Don't let it be easily undone, you know her father is Hao Lian Old Ghost and he's a master at the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm!"
The Insect Taoist boasted, "My Soul-Entangling Gu, unless an Immortal Realm Guardian intervenes, even a Divine Emperor at the pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm would have no way to deal with it!"
Wind Thunder Old Ghost thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Alright, I'll trust you this once."
Setting down the roast pig leg, Wind Thunder Old Ghost's expression grew solemn, "These matters are trivial. You've stirred up the battle at the Heavenly Battlefield. They will definitely bring people to retaliate frantically. Are you really ready for this?"
The Insect Taoist clenched his hand, and the golden Void Devouring Insect drilled into his palm.
He said in a deep voice, "Ready? What does ready even mean? The moment I heard from Baize that the Young Master had arrived, I knew, whether we're ready or not, we have to take action!"
"The Divine Realm, Angel World, and Abyss Realm, they are simply too powerful. If we only place our hopes on the Young Master, what meaning is left for our existence?" The Insect Taoist clenched his fist, "It's been ten thousand years, we've been in the alternate dimension for ten thousand years. During this entire time, I never stopped thinking about counterattacking, never stopped thinking about revenge! Now, this is the beginning of our counterattack horn."
"I've spent my entire life's work, finally finding a way to control the Void Devouring Insects, but they mature too slowly!" A cold light flashed in the Insect Taoist's eyes, "Only by devouring a massive amount of energy bodies, devouring a significant amount of flesh and blood from experts, can the Void Devouring Insects quickly mature!"
Wind Thunder Old Ghost frowned, "But in that case, we risk completely exposing ourselves!"
"It's me who'll be exposed, not you!" the Insect Taoist said calmly, "Now there are still many hidden experts in the Heavenly Battlefield here. The people from Angel World and Divine Realm are not fools; they know it's impossible to clear out everyone here, so their target can only be me!"
Wind Thunder Old Ghost frowned, "In that case, you'll be in danger!"
"I have my own way of escaping!" the Insect Taoist said calmly, "Even if there is some danger, so what? If my calculations are correct, this time my Void Devouring Insects will significantly accelerate their maturation. Once they fully mature, in the vastness of the Three Realms, where would there be a place I couldn't go?"
At this point, a hopeful light flashed in the Insect Taoist's eyes, "I might even be able to control the Void Devouring Insects to enter the Path of Immortality to search for the Holy Emperor..."
"Insect Taoist, have you forgotten the Holy Emperor's instructions?" Wind Thunder Old Ghost shouted sternly, "Besides the Young Master, no one else is allowed to enter the Path of Immortality, have you forgotten?"
The Insect Taoist fell silent for a long time before he spoke, "I haven't forgotten, but... I really can't wait any longer!"
"You have to wait even if you can't!" Wind Thunder Old Ghost shouted, "If you act recklessly and disrupt the Holy Emperor's plan, do you believe I'll really break your legs!"
The Insect Taoist remained silent, knowing that Wind Thunder Old Ghost wasn't just trying to intimidate him; he had absolute faith in the Holy Emperor.
Perhaps feeling his words were too harsh, Wind Thunder Old Ghost softened his tone, "Insect Taoist, what's most important now is how we can consolidate our strength to give the Young Master the greatest support! Rather than acting on your own and disrupting the Holy Emperor's plan, do you understand?"
The Insect Taoist sighed with a bitter smile, "Ah, I never thought I'd be lectured by you, brute. Although it's frustrating, you're right, I got a bit carried away just now."
Wind Thunder Old Ghost laughed heartily, patting the Insect Taoist's shoulder, "It's good that you understand. I think you could learn from Baize, go and reconnect with our scattered comrades. After ten thousand years, Earth's lineage has surely grown stronger."
The Insect Taoist dismissed him, "Hey, don't wipe your greasy hands on me, you bastard!"
...
Unaware of anything, Ling Feng was heading towards the teleportation array to the Angel World, completely unaware that the Insect Taoist and Wind Thunder Old Ghost were from Earth's lineage.
Suddenly, Ling Feng stopped, his gaze fixed on the jungle not far away, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Who's there? Come out!"
A moment later, someone walked out of the jungle, chuckling, "You're indeed the City Lord of my Blood Cry City. Even with only Early Divine Realm cultivation, you can still sense my presence, impressive!"
Ling Feng looked at the approaching person, frowning, "Situ? Why are you here? How did you come to be in the Heavenly Battlefield?"
A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Situ's mouth, "Why am I here? I came here for you, my dear City Lord. You didn't expect me to appear here after you crushed my waist belt, did you?"
Ling Feng looked at Situ and suddenly asked, "What I want to know now is, who are you really? Are you Situ or a controlled puppet?"
Situ's face changed as he prepared to say something, but then his body trembled violently, and a red light flashed in his originally bright eyes, and his aura changed, his voice becoming hoarse.
"As expected of the host body I've chosen, you haven't disappointed me!" Situ's aura completely changed, now speaking arrogantly, "Ling Feng, to be honest, I have my eyes on your body. If you cooperate and hand over control of your body, I might just spare your life and find you a suitable host, how about it?"
Ling Feng laughed in anger, "Are you saying you want to perform a soul transfer and take my body?"
Situ nodded, "Exactly."
Ling Feng shook his head, wondering where Situ's confidence came from. Even though Ling Feng knew Situ was controlled by some mysterious powerful being, even if the other was an expert at the Azure Sky Realm, he wouldn't just surrender!
"May I know the true name of the senior?" Ling Feng asked, "Even if I am to die, I want to at least understand why, don't you agree?"
Situ replied arrogantly, "You should have heard of my name, Liuyun God!"
Ling Feng frowned, thinking for a moment, then apologetically said, "Sorry, I truly don't know you!"
