Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Is Xuan Lady safe? Just now, we were influenced by the Demon Mother and unwittingly dispersed," Jiao Liecheng from the Totem Sacred Sect approached and politely said.

With Jiao Liecheng was Wu Hen's old acquaintance, Chu Zhi.

In the Red Port, the Holy Mother of the Longevity Sect, Chu Zhi, was quite a figure. Both the Yinji Sect and the Totem Sacred Sect treated her very courteously. Even Liang Shou from the True Martial Floating Land had taken on the role of Chu Zhi's personal bodyguard.

Liang Shou was there too, his body emanating an ether-real True Qi that looked like a faint microcosm, a far cry from the domineering True Qi of his junior, Du Mao.

But in Red Port, Liang Shou was indeed a standout fighter of the True Martial Faction; he could withstand direct confrontations with the tyrant tiger armor by joint deployment of his physique and True Qi, even making the tyrant tiger armor back down.

Of course, human forces did not solely rely on individual martial prowess against the Red Zhe. Each faction had their unique, formidable skills; disciples from the Totem Sacred Sect could sacrifice their internal Holy Power to summon Giant Spirit Generals.

These Giant Spirit Generals had exceptional combat abilities. Initially, against the Ying Snake, their powers were likely suppressed by the laws of Nuwa God End.

The Longevity Island possessed numerous magical treasures: the self-fighting Longevity Vine, the swiftly healing Longevity Water, the Longevity Soil that could be shaped into clay warriors, and the Longevity Flower that quickly replenished Spiritual Energy...

And Chu Zhi from the Longevity Sect, capable of all these abilities, attracted the attention of not only the Totem Sacred Sect and True Martial Floating Land but also other forces with powerful cultivation methods.

As for whom Chu Zhi served, it was the Yin Pole Xuan Lady, Liu Mengying.

Obviously, Liu Mengying held the highest status. Her mana was diminishing, and to the myriad veins of the Human Clan in Red Port, she was like a Netherworld Immortal fallen to the mortal realm. Whether to cling to this connection or glean some chance from her cultivation could significantly aid their future ascension.

When various forces escorted Liu Mengying to the Red Palace like stars surrounding the moon, Wu Hen understood that each faction had its agenda, and whether they truly aimed to capture the Death Omen Yuan You was uncertain.

Liu Mengying was clearly no mere figurehead.

The fearsome Yin Xuan Techniques she controlled could easily extinguish those heavily armored Red Zhe Insects with the flames of Yin Xuan Fire that emerged from her palms.

Even the Totem Sacred Sect had to struggle against the tyrant tiger armor, but Liu Mengying could incinerate it with just a blast of Yin Xuan Fire.

Regrettably, her mana recovery was extremely slow, and she lacked close-combat capabilities, making her easy prey for the Insect Race without the protection of various powers.

The six Black Swordsmen by Liu Mengying's side were all of Heavenly Brilliance Level. They all willingly served as ghosts, aiming for a minor position in the Yin Pole Heavenly Court after Liu Mengying's ascension.

The other five Black Swordsmen were approximately of Fourth-class Heavenly Brilliance. The White Ghost Swordsman, in particular, showed prodigious combat strength. If not affected by the Jade Lady Mantis, he could single-handedly match ten tyrant tiger armors.

He was of Third-class Heavenly Brilliance.

Liu Mengying's mana was thin.

Her true strength was also about First-class Heavenly Brilliance, slightly below that of the Purple Robed Master.

"No senior-level figures from any race have shown up, either because they know the Death Omen Yuan You is hard to secure, or they're waiting for the underlings to thin out before they appear, preventing a stronger presence from the Red Zhe side," Wu Hen observed the whole situation.

The Totem Sacred Sect had two Masters, Cai Huang and Jiao Zhu.

The Longevity Sect also had two Masters and one Emperor, who had yet to appear.

True Martial Floating Land also had an Outstanding Human, named Liang Lei. His loved maid, Liang Xiangyue, mentioned that she had a grudge against him and felt out of place there, so she had come to the Totem Sacred Sect.

The Hao Clan's Ark showed little interest in the Death Omen Yuan You, sending only ten steel boats as a token of respect to the other older leaders.

"As expected, the big shots nearing ascension haven't appeared; all sly old foxes," Wu Hen mused as he watched the fierce fighting, feeling that such battles seemed not to be first-time occurrences in the Red Port.

The Human Clan of Red Port and the Red Zhe of Insect Island were inherently like two mutually inhabiting, hostile camps within the otherworldly realm, making war inevitable.

"Xuan Lady, this is a rare opportunity, we have bound a large number of Red Zhe, including twenty-six tyrant tiger armors!" Chu Zhi of the Longevity Sect said.

Wu Hen looked over in the direction of the action and saw a large group of male and female disciples from the Longevity Sect, each holding a Longevity Vine.

The Longevity Vine formed a vast vine forest, resembling a gigantic vine prison that trapped all the Red Zhe beneath the Red Palace.

The mature Red Zhe insects all possessed a strong felt sense, especially the spider mature insects, which could perceive the fluctuations in the air and rapidly avoid some immensely powerful skills. If their movement couldn't be restricted, a powerful force of annihilation would descend; where a swarm of Red Zhe had clustered just a second before, the next instant they would scatter...

Moreover, the higher the level of the alien insects, the faster they transmitted signals. Migratory birds and schools of fish had similar abilities. When these abilities appeared on the battlefield, they were particularly troublesome for humans.

Therefore, binding the insects was the best method, as some binding forces did not register as strong signals in the sensory perception of alien insects.

Once the binding was successful, a destructive strike could then be executed, effectively annihilating a vast swath of mature insects!

Chu Zhi's gaze was fixed on Liu Mengying, the Yin Pole Xuan Woman, waiting for her to wield the Yinji Xuan Skill.

Liu Mengying appeared calm and composed, but in reality, she was mentally exhausted.

Others might not know, but as her spouse by a ghost marriage, could Wu Hen not understand?

Liu Mengying was overstrained; she merely maintained a strong, mysterious image in front of others.

"Give me your hand!"

Liu Mengying said to Wu Hen.

Curious though he was, Wu Hen still extended his palm.

Liu Mengying placed her palm onto Wu Hen's, as if borrowing a certain type of energy from Wu Hen's body.

The next moment, Liu Mengying's pupils ignited with ghostly fire, her hair danced wildly, and her silvery, fair skin became nearly translucent, revealing nine Netherworld Fire Yin Lotuses, blooming spectacularly yet mournfully at her forehead, eyes, heart, belly button…

"Netherworld Lotus!"

Liu Mengying coldly uttered these two words, then an incredibly shocking Netherworld Fire Yin Lotus bloomed over the area swarming with mature insects!

In an instant, all the mature insects turned into nothingness!

Not even a trace of their bones remained.

The Yin Lotus swayed, eerily silent, without stirring a single energy fluctuation, yet the terrifying aura it brought was comparable to a heavy nuclear bomb, eradicating all life!

Wu Hen was utterly horrified inside.

The straggler from Yin Pole Heavenly Court still had such shocking eradicating power under a state of depleted mana??

In the end, was it his own expectations that were too low, or was Little Yi too strong?

If it weren't for encountering the Female and Male Dragon, once Little Yi released the Black Divine Miracle, neither the Red Port Human Clan nor the Insect Island Zhe Clan would have left even ash behind, truly achieving instantaneous annihilation!

He truly missed the days when he used to roam freely, and Little Yi would clear everything in a snap!

Why was his luck so bad, to encounter something as dazzling as Otherworldly Dust of level seventeen??
