Chapter 1133: Encounter

“There is such a thing? But then again, the mission was indeed very dangerous. Thanks to Mr. Liu’s single-handed efforts to turn the tide, I was able to channel the great array without interruption.” Shi Hou frowned.

When the Golden Savage Great Elder heard this, she couldn’t help but feel a little resentful.

Although she finally successfully activated the great array, the dozen people she brought with her, except herself, were all buried in the vast desert.

“Senior Shi Hou has overpraised. I was just doing my part. Now the crisis of the southern wilderness crisis has been temporarily resolved, I will go back to Taiqing Sect first.” Liu Ming said politely.

He did not belong to the southern wilderness. This time, he participated in the mission because of the benefits promised by several Celestial State powerhouses, but he did not intend to stay for a long time.

What’s more, the Hellish-Insect Clan’s force was far beyond his imagination. The war was even more dangerous. Even the Celestial State elder of the Sand Morph Sect had lost his body. Even if Liu Ming was capable, he didn’t think he could turn the tide with his own power.

“Please wait, Mr. Liu! You also know that although the Hellish-Insect Clan army is temporarily damaged, we also suffered heavy casualties. Now, we are in need of people. Can Mr. Liu stay for a while longer? I can promise you to double the reward.” Elder Feng hurriedly said to retain him.

Shi Hou, who had seen Liu Ming’s methods with his own eyes, also nodded his head again and again.

Golden Savage Great Elder said nothing.

“Junior does have a reason to return to the sect, so please forgive me. As for the reward, it is better to leave it to the alliance since the southern wilderness is in chaos.” Liu Ming stood up and bowed to everyone. He didn’t have the intention to stay at all

After this tragic battle, even though these rewards were precious, they had become troublesome in Liu Ming’s eyes. Compared with this, his own life was more important. He was already good to make this decision.

“Since Mr. Liu has made up your mind, we won’t keep you any longer. But you shouldn’t leave in a hurry. Although we can’t compared wit the 4 ancient sects, the rewards we promised before will still be given to you.”

“If that’s the case, then Liu Ming will accept your kindness.” This time, Liu Ming just nodded and agreed.

In fact, he vaguely understood in his heart that if Elder Feng and the others did not grant these rewards now to stabilize the morale, once the others knew, the Alliance would fall apart on its own in the upcoming invasion of the Hellish-Insect Clan.

After the simple hall meeting ended, Liu Ming followed Elder Feng and another deputy elder from Chedi Mountain into the Treasure Pavilion of Chedi Sect.

To Liu Ming’s surprise, although this Chedi Sect couldn’t be compared with ancient sects such as the Taiqing Sect, its Treasure Pavilion was still rich in treasures.

Elder Feng tried to persuade Liu Ming to stay again, but Liu Ming refused resolutely.

Seeing that Liu Ming had made up his mind, he didn’t say anything more.

After receiving the rewards, Liu Ming said goodbye to Elder Feng, left Chedi Sect, and embarked on the journey back to Taiqing Sect alone.

Outside Chedi Mountain, Liu Ming stood in the Daiyue Jade Boat with contemplation.

Recalling that after he entered the Evil Ghost Way that day, he had been away from Taiqing Sect for more than a hundred years. He was wondering what was the situation in the Taiqing Sect now.

When Liu Ming thought of this, familiar faces flashed across his mind.

Jia Lan, who is engaged to him, how is she now? Has she advanced to the Real Pellet State?

As one of the 2 direct disciples of Master Yin Jiuling, after entering the Evil Ghost Way, he has not received any news for more than a hundred years. I wonder if he still remembers me?

Has Senior Sister Apprentice Xiao Wu returned to the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range safely since the final battle in the Evil Ghost Way?

What happened to the Evil Ghost Way at the end?

…

Thousands of thoughts were constantly emerging in Liu Ming’s mind!

He sighed before channeling the flying boat to rush in the direction of Taiqing Sect.

A month later, over a large mortal city, a white light flashed past. It was Liu Ming who was on his way back.

It’s just that the bustling city had now become a ruin. Whether the prosperous place such as inns and shops or the palace, they were all demolished.

In the streets and squares, the remains of human beings could be seen everywhere. The scene was horrible.

It seemed that the information collected in the southern wilderness was correct. These Hellish-Insects were not only enemies of cultivators but also ordinary mortals.

Speaking of which, Liu Ming encountered several cases of Hellish-Insects attacked the human cultivators or mortals.

Where Hellish-Insect had passed, people would fall into the abyss.

Neither the cultivator sect nor the mortal kingdom was spared. This was an inevitable disaster for all living beings in Middle Sky Continent.

Liu Ming judged that this Hellish-Insect invasion was not accidental. It did not only occur in the southern wilderness area, but it had spread to other parts of the Middle Sky Continent.

After sweeping the entire city with Divine Thought and making sure that there was no life here, he shook his head slightly, made a gesture and flew away on the flying boat.

Due to Hellish-Insect’s invasion, many teleportation arrays along the way were also destroyed. Only a small part could continue to be used.

…

2 months later, Liu Ming was searching for something in a dense coral colony under an inconspicuous lake bottom.

He spent a lot of money to find out about a hidden teleportation array. As long as he could find this teleportation array, he could return to the area near Thousands Spirit Mountain. It would only take a few days to get back to Taiqing Sect.

Although the number of Hellish-Insects decreased a lot after leaving the southern wilderness, a large group of Hellish-Insects suddenly appeared on the way back. If he detoured, it would take several months or even years to return to the sect. Under the current circumstances, he was not willing to wait any longer.

So, he spent a lot of spirit stones in exchange for the information and materials needed for this secret teleportation array in a black market in this area.

After 10 minutes, Liu Ming discovered a bleak teleportation array under a crystal giant mussel.

He touched his chest, took out a light green crystal stone and slowly placed it in the groove in the center of the array.

With a “poof“, the spirit patterns spread like a snake, then the entire array lit up a blue light.

The water waves at the bottom of the lake rippled away. Even the nearby corals swayed back and forth, then the lake water poured back.

Liu Ming only felt the array under his feet was trembling, then his vision was blurred.

When he woke up, he was lying in a dark cave, surrounded by a large piece of collapsed gravel. He couldn’t see the exit at all.

Liu Ming cautiously released Divine Thought and swept around, confirming that he was in the belly of a mountain. There were a lot of spiritual power fluctuations about tens of miles away from this mountain.

These spiritual power fluctuations were very familiar to him, which was a group of Hellish-Insects.

But soon he breathed a sigh of relief. Although these Hellish-Insects were numerous, they were only led by 2 Hellish-Insects at the Real Pellet State early stage.

After Liu Ming made sure that there was no high rank Hellish-Insect nearby, he grunted. Black air around him tumbled and turned into black tentacles to clear the nearby gravel.

“Boom“, the entire mountain peak instantly vanished, and a large number of gravel danced in the sky. A figure flashed out.

As soon as Liu Ming appeared, a large black insect cloud rolled toward him.

There were probably dozens of them.

At this time, he had no intention of spending too much time on these low rank Hellish-Insects. The purple sword light flashed out of his hand, and he directly used the Sword Light Split technique to kill these Hellish-Insects with an overwhelming force. Then, he activated Che Huan Totem to hide his aura and hid in the rolling mountains.

With his current cultivation, it was no problem to hide from these low rank Hellish-Insects.

After he had escaped tens of thousands of miles, he encountered more and more Hellish-Insects.

At first, it was fine. With Che Huan’s concealment ability and some mystic arts, he could easily pass through them.

But when he flew a million miles, he found more Hellish-Insects blocking his way.

In desperation, he could only choose to take a detour.

…

2 days later, Liu Ming was flying at a low altitude.

At this moment, he looked uncertain.

The number of Hellish-Insects I have seen along the way is a bit too much. Could something happen to Taiqing Sect?

Liu Ming couldn’t help but be surprised.

Just when he was about to cross a small mountain, he suddenly found the other side of the mountain, and the screams of killing were so loud!

Liu Ming was startled. He hurriedly released Divine Thought, only to see dozens of Taiqing Sect’s disciples being surrounded by an astonishing number of Hellish-Insects.

There were only 30 disciples, and the leader was a burly young man wearing a yellow robe. Judging from the clothes, he should be an elder of the Golden Top Peak. His cultivation should be at the Real Pellet State period.

Beside him were dozens of Golden Top Peak’s disciples, but they were only at the Crystallization Period.

That group of Hellish-Insects were almost more than a thousand. There were black and yellow insects. Yellow insects were on the outside while the black insects were surrounding the Golden Top Peak’s disciples.

Facing the Golden Top Peak’s disciples who were mainly physique cultivators, these Hellish-Insects ranging from the Condensation Period to the Crystallization Period did not take any advantage. However, the gray Real Pellet State Hellish-Insect had held back the burly young man. The overall situation was still very precarious.
