Chapter 614 Sea of Insects
"You... who are you?" The female cultivator forced herself to remain calm and asked in a stern voice.
Lu Yuan turned around slowly, his expression indifferent, and an invisible sense of oppression emanating from his body.
But at this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the side hall, and then someone asked loudly: "Who dares to trespass into the City Lord's Mansion! Senior Liu, are you okay?"
When Lu Yuan used his spiritual sense to explore, he discovered that there were several more demons with the level of divine generals outside the side hall. At the same time, more Nascent Soul guards were also rushing here.
It seems that when I broke into the restriction here just now, I still alarmed other people in the City Lord's Mansion.
However, Lu Yuan did not take such guarding seriously.
"I'm here to inquire about some things. I hope your answers will satisfy me." Lu Yuan said calmly.
A strange look flashed across the female cultivator's face when she heard this. At the same time, she also found that she could not even tell Lu Yuan's cultivation level. She knew that the other party was most likely an old monster in the Demon Lord stage.
Therefore, the guards outside the side hall were not enough for him to fill his teeth. And he would be the first one to suffer.
Thinking of this, the female cultivator hurriedly said to the side hall: "It's okay, an old friend just came to talk to me, you can leave now."
When the people outside the side hall heard this, although they had doubts, they still retreated as they were told.
The female cultivator heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Lu Yuan, and then smiled charmingly and said, "So, Senior, you are just here to inquire about things, then why don't you just come to see me normally?
Why did you come here in the middle of the night? Now you've disturbed other people. If word gets out that we're a single man and a single woman, who knows what others will think."
As the female cultivator spoke, a faint pink glow appeared on her pretty face and her eyes became charming.
"Hmm? You are from the succubus clan." Seeing this, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked with interest.
"Senior, you really have a keen eye. I am indeed from——"
Before the female cultivator finished her words, Lu Yuan suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of magic light instantly shot straight into the female cultivator's brow.
The female cultivator was caught off guard and immediately fell to the ground.
Lu Yuanze quickly walked up to the female cultivator, half-knelt down and put one hand on the top of her head.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Yuan's big hand that was pressing on the female cultivator's head suddenly tightened. The female cultivator groaned, and there was no life left in her body.
"Since I have suffered at the hands of the Succubus once, how can I believe what you say?"
Lu Yuan snorted coldly, and then his figure blurred and disappeared into the side hall, leaving only the cold body of the female cultivator.
Not long after, the guards who had been dismissed hurried to the side hall out of caution.
When it was discovered that the female cultivator had died, the entire City Lord's Mansion fell into chaos.
By the time the highest-ranking commanders finally managed to stabilize the situation and sent people to search for the murderer, Lu Yuan had already used his Qingluan demon body and was tens of thousands of miles away from Shinan City.
Through soul-searching of the female cultivator, Lu Yuan discovered that this woman was actually a concubine of the Lord of Shinan City.
In the correspondence between him and the Lord of Shinan City, Lu Yuan learned that during the period when he was in seclusion to practice the Seventh Transformation, the people of Shiyin, under the leadership of the two Saint Ancestors and with the help of reinforcements from various major forces, had successfully repelled the insect tide and recovered most of the occupied towns.
Although there is still a small town occupied by borers, I believe it will not be long before it returns to the control of the demons, and the Lord of Shinan City will soon return to Shinan City to reunite with his concubine.
It seems that I have to go to the place of the first seal as soon as possible, otherwise I won’t even be able to drink soup.
As Lu Yuan was pondering in his mind, the huge body of the blue phoenix monster blurred, and he directly used his innate magical power of traveling a thousand miles in one breath, and rushed to the place where the seal was first made with all his strength.
After more than ten days of continuous travel, Lu Yuan finally arrived at the demon clan’s base camp in the Shiyin land, Shiyin City.
Looking at the huge city that stretched for hundreds of miles in the distance, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry to enter.
Now the smell of borer on me is too strong, if I go in rashly, I will be suspected to some extent. Therefore, I must have a suitable reason, or find someone to recommend me.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan changed direction and began to search in the wilderness outside Shiyin City.
But after several days, Lu Yuan did not find any suitable opportunity, so he changed his mind and searched towards the core sealed area of the Land of the First Sealing.
Ten days later...
Somewhere in the core area of the Land of the First Seal, the sky and the ground were filled with swarms of all kinds of insects and beasts.
The so-called borers were not all the same species as Lu Yuan had thought. Some were as small as mosquitoes and ants, some were as big as elephants. Some looked hideous and terrifying, while others were colorful and unparalleled.
Among them are both terrifying swarms of locusts and ants, as well as giant beetles that act alone but are very powerful.
These are all very common insects in the demon world, but after being eroded by the borer's aura, they became part of its vassal.
Therefore, in this sea of insects, a red borer that was only about ten feet in size, but covered with light golden spiritual patterns, with emerald green eyes and a faint five-colored glow flowing in it, appeared quite inconspicuous.
Suddenly, the five-colored light in the eyes of this red corn borer condensed, and it turned its head and looked in a certain direction.
After a slight pause, he just flapped his wings, and immediately his body disappeared from the spot in a blur.
Soon after, the figure of the red borer appeared near the central area of the sea of insects.
A few miles ahead, there was a huge light array covering an area of nearly a hundred feet in radius.
On the periphery of the light array, in addition to the countless various types of borers crowded together, there were also more than ten giant insects with emerald green bodies.
Each of these giant insects is several meters in size, with pincer-like forelimbs, a mouth full of fangs, a ferocious appearance, and seemingly some intelligence.
With every chirp, countless borers would pounce towards the light array. However, as soon as those borers came into contact with the light array, a layer of blazing flames would ignite on the surface of the defensive light curtain outside the array, turning all the borers that pounced on it into ashes.
But even so, no matter how many casualties there were, more borers would immediately swarm in under the hissing of the giant insects, desperately attacking the entire light array.
In the light array, there were more than ten figures divided into two groups. One group was desperately sending mana to a Ruyi-shaped magic weapon in the center of the light array. The other group was sitting cross-legged in the light array, each holding a top-grade magic stone, as if they were recovering their mana.
In addition, there was a bald demon in the formation who seemed to be the leader, and his cultivation was about the late stage of the Demon Sect.
At this moment, his face was gloomy, and he stared at the entire light array without a smile.
"It's a bit strange that a late-stage demon sect leader, with more than a dozen demon generals, can persist in the sea of insects for such a long time." Lu Yuan, who had transformed into a red moth, looked at the thick corpse ash outside the light array and thought to himself.
After all, even someone as strong as him, who was at the level of Half-Step Demon Lord, did not dare to fight head-on in this sea of insects and could only use the transformation into a moth to hide among them.
