The mysterious elder let out a chilling laugh, causing listeners to feel their insides churn in discomfort.

“Submit or die!”

The elder didn’t answer directly, instead presenting a supremely tyrannical choice.

It was extremely arrogant.

“What if I choose neither?”

The Black Tiger Gang Leader’s composure was exceptionally high, and he didn’t get angry.

He also didn’t rush to attack his opponent but quietly observed the Mysterious Gu Master instead.

“Then I can only send you to meet the Silkworm Ancestor!”

The Silkworm Ancestor, also known as the Goddess of Silkworms, is the common progenitor revered by all Insect Masters and Gu Masters.

Only especially powerful Insect Masters would place the Silkworm Ancestor in the highest position in their hearts. Hence, it’s rare to hear Insect Masters mention the Silkworm Ancestor, let alone discuss her often.

This is because powerful Insect Masters are extremely scarce.

However, it’s different for Gu Masters. It’s rumored that during their blood covenant ceremony, Gu Masters must cut their fingers and offer blood to the Silkworm Ancestor; this is known as establishing a blood covenant.

Some Gu Masters believe it to be the establishment of a blood pact.

The purpose is to receive the Silkworm Ancestor’s protection and guidance, enabling their Gu techniques to reach great success.

Through this language detail from the mysterious elder, it’s essentially certain that he is undoubtedly a Gu Master. For Gu Masters, the Silkworm Ancestor is extremely sacred. They don’t respect the Three Purities, nor do they revere the Jade Emperor; they only venerate the Silkworm Ancestor.

“Heaven Cleaver!”

The Black Tiger Gang Leader no longer wasted words and directly unleashed his most powerful sword technique.

The longsword in his hand struck, its glow as radiant as the blazing sun upon the earth.

The ferocious, violent sword radiance carried the might of total annihilation, savagely slashing everything before it.

“Hmph, you think the mere Sun Pursuing Sword Technique’s Heaven Cleaver can stand against me? It’s nothing but a fool’s errand.”

The Mysterious Gu Master lightly swung his vine staff, pointing forward.

All kinds of insects began to emerge from the air and the ground—moths, poison wasps, stink bugs, longhorn beetles, scarab beetles, centipedes, spiders… virtually every type of insect appeared.

They swarmed together densely, forming a terrifying insect tide.

When the sword radiance struck towards the mysterious elder, the entire swarm fearlessly met the attack.

Insect after insect was dissolved by the sword radiance, not even leaving a corpse behind.

But the initially overwhelming sword radiance rapidly weakened and soon vanished.

The insect tide was still surging, even seeming somewhat more powerful.

An endless number of insects kept appearing, merging into the tide.

It was unimaginable that the full-powered strike from the Black Tiger Gang Leader didn’t even harm the opponent’s skin.

The Gu Master’s power was too strong.

Merely setting up an Insect Formation allowed him to use a massive number of weak insects to confront an Immortal Master’s all-out strike with ease. Such an unpredictable, heaven-reaching ability made Qin Niu’s eyes turn red with envy.

He knew his own affairs best.

The Life-Nurturing Technique and Medicine King Sutra he cultivated were non-combat oriented techniques.

Before the fight had even begun, he was at a disadvantage compared to enemies of the same level.

If he could learn this powerful Insect Formation and integrate it with his own formidable insect pets to set up a formation, he could instantly add a powerful trump card to his arsenal.

As his cultivation level steadily improved and his experience grew, he gradually realized that there were many factors that truly determined one’s combat prowess.

It certainly wasn’t just about cultivation level and weapon skills.

Cultivation, weapon skills, cultivation techniques, equipment, pets, formations… mastering any of these could create the opportunity for a comeback, easily defeating formidable enemies.

At his current level of cultivation, he might, at most, fight evenly with a warrior at the initial stage of the Innate Realm.

Yet he could easily slay a mid-stage Innate Realm warrior with his martial arts, the Ink Blade, and the King Pig Leather Armor. He might even overpower warriors at the later stage of the Innate Realm.

If he employed his pet, the situation would become even more terrifying, as he already possessed the absolute strength to clash head-on with warriors at the Spirit Qi Realm.

This was still the case even though his pet had not yet reached its full growth.

Otherwise, even Immortal Scholars would have to circumvent him.

“Xue Qiuhe, today will be your demise.”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader, having been wounded, had initially prepared to flee. But upon witnessing how formidable her own Gu Masters were, she immediately regained her courage and confidence.

A ruthless woman like her would never miss a chance to slay her enemies.

One after another, the top warriors of the Nine Insects Gang gathered behind the Gang Leader, with her at the helm.

The Shennong Sect Leader stood on the right side of the Nine Insects Gang Leader, while the Great Elder of the gang stood to her left.

“Pan Jianjun, I truly do not know what you were thinking. For the sake of a woman, you’ve willingly groveled at the feet of a vixen and are content to be a lapdog for the Nine Insects Gang. You’ve lost all face for the Shennong Sect, and even if you die, you wouldn’t have the face to meet the previous Sect Leaders.”

The one cursing was Fang Lian.

Despite his youth and being merely at the Innate Realm, as the young master of the Fang Family and in order to increase his influence, he had to make his mark.

A situation like this was an excellent opportunity to make himself known.

With no fewer than five Fang Family ancestors of the Spirit Qi Realm backing him, his presence alone commanded respect, and no one dared to underestimate Fang Lian.

The experts of the Shennong Sect felt ashamed upon hearing this.

The Sect Leader was being too indiscreet. How could he stand next to the Nine Insects Gang Leader just like the Great Elder? To the uninformed, it appeared as if the Shennong Sect Leader had become a subordinate of the Nine Insects Gang.

“Sharp-tongued fool, you’re seeking death!”

Pan Jianjun’s wife was the first to anger.

She seemed very protective of her husband’s reputation.

“Oh? Did I say something wrong? Who doesn’t know that it was you who seduced the Sect Leader of the Shennong Sect with your charms, turning a venerable sect into a vassal of the Nine Insects Gang? With your beauty, you’ve turned a Sect Leader into a spineless fool; your skill is truly unparalleled amongst women. Even a courtesan in a brothel seldom possesses your talent.”

Fang Lian’s words were extremely unpleasant to hear.

He not only insulted the Shennong Sect Leader as spineless and incompetent, but also labeled the Sect Leader’s wife as nothing more than a glamorous courtesan.

“Those who insult my beloved wife shall die!”

No matter how composed Pan Jianjun was, being publicly insulted as a courtesan was too much for him to bear for his wife.

He drew his sword and recklessly charged at Fang Lian.

“If you want our young master of the Fang Family, you’ll have to get past us first.”

The five Fang Family elders were not there just for show; they united in front of Fang Lian to confront Pan Jianjun and his wife.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader was skilled at currying favor.

“Don’t you bully my sister, as long as I still breathe, I’ll never allow it.”

And just like that, she even disregarded the Black Tiger Gang Leader, her old enemy; riding the Tyrant Demon Spider, she swung her sword and attacked the five Fang Family elders.

Though strong, the five Fang Family elders had not reached the Immortal Scholar Realm.

They might have been able to bully Pan Jianjun and his wife when acting together, but with the addition of the Nine Insects Gang Leader, the pressure on the five Fang Family elders increased dramatically.

The powerhouses of the Spirit Qi Realm from the other major families standing beside the Fangs didn’t bother to lend a hand; they were indifferent, and instead, each chose an opponent to engage in the melee.

The Fang Family was one of the strongest in the Black Tiger Gang. In this war, the Fang Family had virtually deployed its entire force.

Apart from Fang Lian’s father, who remained in seclusion for cultivation, all five Fang Family elders were mobilized.
