Chapter 384: Demonic Insect, Might of the Heavenly
Flame (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Everyone, I happen to have a Heavenly flame in my hand. It’s called the Blue Lotus Flame.
Although its grade is not comparable to Fellow Daoist Jiang’s Ruby Flame, it has nonetheless reached Level 4…”
Hearing Lu Shuangyue’s voice transmission, they were all pleasantly surprised.
Now that they had two Heavenly flames, if things went smoothly, it should not be difficult to deal with the three guys who were parasitized by the Spirit Devouring Demonic Insects.
At that moment, they discussed the plan roughly.
Then, Jiang Chengxuan attacked again.
The Ruby Flame in his hand turned into a long flaming whip that lashed out at Daoist Guang Xuan and the other two.
Crack-
Waves of fire suddenly rippled in the air.
Daoist Guang Xuan and the other two dodged in panic.
Seeing that the three of them seemed to want to retreat, Lu Shuangyue had already appeared behind them at some point.
Boom!
The Blue Lotus Flame suddenly turned into a disc the size of a millstone and spinned towards Daoist Guang Xuan and the other two.
Daoist Guang Xuan and the other two clearly did not expect that other than Jiang Chengxuan, there was actually someone else who had a Heavenly flame.
Soon, Shao Liang’s body was devoured by the Blue Lotus Flame.
A miserable scream suddenly sounded in the air.
Seeing this, Daoist Guang Xuan and Xie Hechuan didn’t hesitate at all. Their figures flashed, and they were escaping in desperation.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a red and white flame that kept spinning, squeezing, and fusing rapidly enlarged in their vision.
“Oh no!”
Daoist Guang Xuan and Xie Hechuan had a bad feeling.
They wanted to escape, but unfortunately, the speed of the flame was too fast.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A huge explosion erupted, causing the entire treasure vault to shake.
The blazing flame instantly swallowed Daoist Guang Xuan and Xie Hechuan, turning them into ashes in a matter of seconds.
Guan Xinting, Lu Shuangyue, and Xiang Canglong’s expressions changed slightly when they felt the terrifying fluctuation.
Especially Xiang Canglong.
As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he could sense it more clearly.
The divine power that Jiang Chengxuan had just used was already enough to threaten his life.
Once he was hit, he would probably turn to ashes like Daoist Guang Xuan and Xie Hechuan.
Squeak—
At this moment, in the burning flame, a scarlet monster that looked like an earthworm with a single eye on the top suddenly squirmed out in a sorry state.
It was covered in charred, red, yellow, and green pus, obviously injured.
Just as it was about to scurry away, two huge nets made of flames, one blue and one white, suddenly enveloped it and locked it in place.
Sizzle…
Suddenly, flames rose from the monster’s body, causing it to let out shrill cries.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others watched on the spot.
Lu Shuangyue said, “Fellow Daoist Shen, this should be the main body of the Spirit Devouring Demon Insect, right?
Not only did the insect transform into the appearance of the Nascent Cultivation Fruit to fool us, but it also successfully parasitized Daoist Guang Xuan.”
“That’s right.”
Shen Ruyan nodded.
“This is indeed the main body of the Spirit Devouring Demon Insect.
I just don’t know why there are such foreign demonic insects in the ruins.”
Hearing her words, there was a look of seriousness on everyone’s face.
There was still about half a month before the ruins closed.
No one could guarantee that there would not be a second similar demonic insect.
If there was and it attacked them again, it was possible that none of them could get out alive.
After all, the greatest threat of this demonic insect was not its own strength, but its concealment and transformation ability.
Even Daoist Guang Xuan, who was at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, couldn’t see through its disguise.
None of them could guarantee that they would not end up just like Daoist Guang Xuan.
At the very least, Guan Xinting, Lu Shuangyue, and Xiang Canglong were not confident at all.
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan suggested.
After all, there was no point in staying here.
Other than wasting time, they would not gain anything.
And it might not be safe.
Shen Ruyan and Guan Xinting had no objections.
On the other hand, Xiang Canglong and Lu Shuangyue hesitated.
However, in the end, the two of them nodded and agreed to Jiang Chengxuan’s suggestion.
A few days later.
The group arrived at a quiet room.
As soon as they stepped into the quiet room, Jiang Chengxuan and the others’ pupils constricted.
In the center of the quiet room, there was a person sitting upright!
To be precise, it was a skeleton.
The skeleton was about the height of a person.
At his feet were dozens of jade slips.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the quiet room.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others’ gazes landed on the jade slips.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan said, “Everyone, if I’m not wrong, this should be the residence of the owner of this ruin.
The skeleton should be the owner who has long passed away.
Everyone agreed with Shen Ruyan’s guess.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan continued, “If you don’t mind, how about we each engrave a copy of the jade slips in front of us?”
Lu Shuangyue was the first to echo.
“I agree with Fellow Daoist Shen’s suggestion.
In addition, I also suggest that none of us say anything about what happened here today.
After all, Daoist Guang Xuan and Shao Liang are Golden Core elders of the Mingzhen Sect.
Although they died at the hands of the Spirit Devouring Demon Insect, I don’t think anyone will believe us if we say so.
Instead, they might ask us to hand in all the things we obtained here.”
This was very likely to happen.
After all, just from Daoist Guang Xuan and Shao Liang’s character, one could roughly tell what kind of place the Mingzhen Sect was.
“If that’s the case, to be safe, I suggest that we sign a blood oath contract.”
At this moment, Guan Xinting took out a blank blood oath contract from her body.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
Why did Guan Xinting seem to have so many of these things on her?
One had to know that a blood oath contract was not cheap.
Many Golden Core cultivators did not have such a thing.
Lu Shuangyue and Xiang Canglong were also stunned by Guan Xinting’s words.
However, they quickly reacted and nodded in unison.
“No problem.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan also had no problems with this suggestion.
Soon, the five of them signed the blood oath contract.
Then, they looked at the jade slips on the ground.
“I’ll do it.”
Jiang Chengxuan raised his hand slightly.
There was a buzz.
The jade slips were immediately grabbed by an invisible force and quickly pulled to him.
Then, two lights lit up in his eyes.
He took one of the jade slips and stuck it on his forehead.
Seeing that, Shen Ruyan also took a jade slip and checked it.
The remaining three were reassured that there was nothing wrong with the jade slips and also took one each to check..
