Chapter 260 The Beginning of the Disaster

"Huhu——"

On Yuanzhou Mountain, in front of the cave leading to the underground spiritual veins, the Qingyun Sect disciples who came with Lin Chen lay exhausted on the ground, constantly taking pills to restore their body's consumption.

Around them, ant corpses were everywhere, covering the ground in a thick layer, like snow, and the number was even more uncountable.

"This spirit insect is really terrifying. If we hadn't beaten it half way through, they didn't know why they resisted it and fell into madness. I'm afraid that instead of being able to destroy them, we would have been killed instead..."

The leader of the cultivators in the field, the inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with lingering fear.

"I wonder if the young elder who went in can deal with the insect mother..."

"Is everything done here?" Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind, startling him.

The inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect hurriedly turned his head and saw Lin Chen appearing behind them at some unknown moment.

The other party didn't seem to be injured, and on the shoulder, there was a white and fat spiritual insect with a mouth and no teeth, and it exuded a vague sense of coercion.

Is that the insect mother?

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Even though they had some suspicions, they were still quite shocked when they saw this scene. They stood up and saluted quickly: "Greetings to the elder!"

"Yeah." Lin Chen nodded, looked around the scene, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go and check out the news about the nearby immortal cultivating forces, especially the blood cultivating killings, and see if there is anything unusual. "

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other.

According to the traces traced along the way, the monks sent by the Qingyun Sect in Ruyuefang City to collect spiritual objects from various places were not the hands of these alien insects.

And now that the Mother of Spiritual Insects has been enslaved, hasn't the matter been resolved?

‘Is it possible that the elder wants to clear his name for his spiritual beast, but there is no need? ’

Everyone was confused, but Lin Chen didn't explain anything. They could only suppress the confusion in their hearts and nod as usual.

Lin Chen saw this scene, nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and left Qingyun Feizhou and several second-level talismans he drew: "I'll go back first, and you guys go check out the news. If anything happens, come back and report to me."

"yes!"

Seeing this, Lin Chen flew directly into the sky and flew back to Fangshi.

When he flew high in the sky, he looked back at Yuanzhou Mountain below, his eyes twinkling.

He originally thought that the Qingyun Sect disciples were attacked by demonic cultivators, but after seeing the insect mother, he dismissed this idea.

But what he didn't expect was when he was having a soul duel with the insect mother.

While the insect mother was being tortured by the mathematics in his mind, he also stole part of the opponent's memory and discovered that his initial guess might not be wrong.

From the fragmented memories, Lin Chen roughly spelled out what happened.

This swarm of insects was originally just the clan-protecting spirit insects of the Bai family. Although it had all kinds of strange features, it had not yet evolved to the point where it could become a rare and exotic beast with terrifying potential, like the earthly worms.

But just a few days ago, something unexpected happened to the Bai family. There seemed to be civil strife and strange fratricide.

Hundreds of monks in the Bai family were all killed, and even a large number of clan-protecting spiritual insects were devoured.

Later, the instigator seemed to have taken a fancy to the role of the predecessor of the world, and wanted to cultivate a group of minions who could detect, kill, and protect themselves, so he took action against the insect mother.

But in the end, it seems that there was something wrong with the practice of magic skills, coupled with the instinctive resistance of the insect mother, not only failed to refine the slave insect mother, but her wisdom was stolen by the other party in the overlap of souls.

So the insect mother possessed wisdom and began to continuously devour resources, mutate and evolve, and finally evolved into a rare earthworm in the world.

Of course, its evolution is due to the wisdom of the insect mother, which changed natural selection to artificial selection, but there is one thing that may be the key factor in its evolution.

This thing was the very strange yet familiar area to Lin Chen in the insect mother's last memory - the blood pool!

"So, behind this spiritual insect rebellion, it is actually the work of monks who practiced the blood demon technique, which caused a drastic change in their mind?"

…

Sure enough, a few days later, in Ruyuefang City, in an attic room.

Lin Chen looked at a blood-stained book in his hand, threw it on the desk, and looked at the reporter in front of him: "Sure enough, something went wrong. Let's talk about the current situation."

At this moment, in the room, Zhang Hao, Xu Mengyun, Liu Qiqiang, and even himself, four foundation-building monks, were all gathered here.

After all, it involves the demon cultivator, the enemy of life and death, and it is impossible for others to really stay out of the matter.

In front of them was a middle-aged monk who was responsible for reporting the collected intelligence.

"Report to the elders." The middle-aged monk bowed and saluted, "We sent people to investigate the major forces in the area near Fang City, and they all found that this kind of magic power is spreading in a wide range."

"I didn't expect that there was actually magic power spreading?" Liu Qiqiang couldn't help but frowned.

"Now that we are fighting on the front line, a large number of disciples of our sect who were originally responsible for patrolling and monitoring the area have been sent to the front line. As a result, our control over this area has been reduced. It is not surprising that the demon cultivators took advantage of the situation." Zhang Haochen. vocal channel.

"Not only that, if the original situation is correct, if the Ruyue Market is destroyed and the evil creatures with human heads are rampant, most of the attention of Qingyun Sect will be focused on this, and the spread of this magic technique will probably be ignored." Xu Mengyun pondered for a moment and added.

"Now that we have noticed the abnormality, can't we stop it?" Liu Qiqiang said.

Hearing this, several people looked at the middle-aged cultivator, but the latter was silent for a moment and said: "This... I'm afraid it's difficult. According to the existing information, we can't stop the spread of this kind of magic technique."

"Hmm?" Xu Mengyun asked puzzledly, "Why is this?"

"Because this kind of technique can quickly advance the cultivation level and help people break through the foundation!" Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hao, raised the blood-stained technique on the table, and answered the next words for the other party.

"For example, this [Blood Refining and Spiritualization Method], the advanced method is [Spiritual Blood Foundation Building Method], which can replace the role of the foundation pill to a certain extent and help people advance to the foundation!"

"What?!"

As soon as this was said, Xu Mengyun and others changed their faces.

Although they are all foundation-building cultivators, they have poor talents and have been promoted by force through various means. Naturally, they know the difficulties involved and understand the value of this kind of practice!

"Junior brother, is this true..." Xu Mengyun couldn't help asking.

But before she finished, she was interrupted by Lin Chen: "This practice is naturally true, but there are also many hidden dangers in it. The cultivator is very likely to change his mind and even be controlled by others. It is better not to know more about it."

"I agree with what you mean, senior brother." Lin Chen's words made Zhang Hao recall something, and his face became a little ugly.

If he hadn't met the old tree by chance in the place where the spirit fell, and noticed the hidden dangers in the practice and modified it, so that he could benefit from it and quickly cross the foundation-building and body-refining stage of cultivation, I am afraid that he would most likely become a puppet controlled by the demon cultivator.

However, he was lucky to meet the old tree, but other cultivators might not be.

Not to mention, promotion to the foundation-building stage, extraordinary strength, and two hundred years of immortality are irresistible temptations for any cultivator.

Therefore, even if there are many hidden dangers, there will definitely be many people who want to practice it and have a chance!

"And I suspect that this kind of magic technique has been spread secretly as early as thirty years ago..." Lin Chen continued.

"Those who are spreading it now and making trouble are most likely just some chess pieces thrown out for testing. Once they realize that we can't mobilize extra manpower, I'm afraid it will be a time of chaos..."

As soon as these words came out, all the foundation-building cultivators in the field couldn't help but look gloomy.

The pressure in front is already great enough. If the rear becomes chaotic again, the whole situation will be in trouble...

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Xu Mengyun asked: "Junior brother, what do you think we should do now?"

Lin Chen glanced at him and replied: "The current situation is getting more and more chaotic, and the backhand of the demon cultivator is confusing."

"In fact, I personally prefer to abandon the so-called front-line defense, retain all the living forces, and retreat to the main gate of Qingyun Sect to avoid being defeated one by one..."

At this time, whether it was Lin Chen who was talking or the other three people who were listening, they all paused, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.

Then, Lin Chen said to the middle-aged cultivator: "You retreat first."

The middle-aged cultivator was stunned when he heard this, but looking at the faces of several people, he didn't dare to say anything more and retreated quickly.

When one of them went out, Lin Chen and others took out the identity spirit leaves that symbolized the elders of Qingyun Sect from their storage rings.

At this moment, it was emitting brilliant spiritual energy, and even formed a green light that was rippling like water waves!

Seeing this scene, whether it was Lin Chen or the other three people, their faces became uncertain, either happy, or surprised, or thinking.

The reason for the uncertain look was that this phenomenon represented the information summons from the Jindan Zhenren of Qingyun Sect!
