These finger-sized insects didn't move and were unpredictable. When they turned into thick clouds, they were even more so. If one looked at them with the naked eye, it would be impossible to tell the difference between the clouds and the cracks on the walls. Often, one's vision would blur and the countless insects would pounce on them.
After these insects appeared, they immediately split into five groups and pounced on everyone.
Du Jian's expression changed greatly and became pale. He had seen how powerful these insects were. Back then, these insects had drilled into the puppet's body and devoured its flesh, blood, and soul.
At this moment, he slapped his bag of holding without hesitation and took out the life-saving jade that Tian Yunzi had given him. This jade had three life-saving chances. He had used it once before, and this was the second time.
The mountain of jade slips exploded with a seven-colored glow that enveloped Du Jian's body. As soon as the light appeared, the flying insects stopped scattering, and instead pounced on Du Jian, completely surrounding him. Cracking sounds could be heard coming from the seven-colored light.
When Du Jian heard this sound, his scalp immediately went numb. He immediately shouted, "Save me, Brother Murong, save me!!"
Murong Zhuo hesitated for a moment before his right hand formed a seal and pressed forward. The celestial spiritual energy in his body cycled and a palm print filled with black gas appeared on his right hand. With a wave of his hand, the palm print formed by the black gas pierced through the air toward the insect that trapped Du Jian.
With a loud bang, the black Qi handprint actually passed through the flying insects. Even Du Jian, who was wrapped in it, seemed to become transparent. The black Qi handprint came out of his body and directly imprinted on the wall behind him.
This strange scene immediately stunned Murong Zhuo, and at the same time, his expression darkened. He stared straight at the flying insects with an extremely ugly expression.
As for Zhao Yixuan, she looked at the insects with a profound gaze. Beside her, there was a flash of thought in Xue Fei's eyes, but that thought disappeared almost instantly because Wang Lin's gaze seemed to casually sweep past her body.
All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. When Wang Lin saw that Murong Zhuo's god art was ignored by the flying insects, his eyes instantly lit up!
Murong Zhuo took a step forward and formed a seal with his hands. Spells were cast one after another, turning into various attacks that flickered out. However, without exception, all of them passed through the flying insects.
As the cracking sounds continued, the seven-colored radiance on Du Jian's body quickly dimmed.
A trace of despair appeared in Du Jian's eyes, but at this moment, his mind became clear. He suddenly looked at Wang Lin and shouted anxiously, "Wang Lin, I know some of Master's secrets. If you save me, I'll tell you everything!"
Wang Lin didn't care about this person at all. He stared at the flying insects with a pensive look on his face.
In his eyes, these flying insects were extremely strange. When they appeared, they were about to attack everyone, but when they saw the seven-colored light on Du Jian's body, they immediately gathered.
Zhao Yixuan played with her hair and softly said, "If these flying insects run out, Senior Brother Du will definitely target us. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't have another chance."
Just at this moment, the seven-colored light around Du Jian's body suddenly collapsed. Du Jian's mind trembled violently and he immediately used his last life-saving ability. The jade slip shattered and turned into ashes that dissipated.
However, the cracking sounds were like death knells that echoed in Du Jian's heart and became more and more urgent.
"Wang Lin!!!
I know the secret of your Purple Division's Sun Yun. I know why he betrayed Master. If you save me, I'll tell you everything!! "Du Jian clenched his teeth and revealed his biggest secret.
Wang Lin's expression was the same as ever as he looked at Du Jian. He raised his right hand and waved it. Immediately, a bright, golden light appeared in his hand. This golden light was one of the 11 golden talismans in the cave.
This golden light shined brightly like the sun, emitting a boundless golden light that drove away the darkness. At this moment, the flying insects surrounding Du Jian let out a loud buzzing sound and quickly changed directions toward the golden talisman in Wang Lin's hand.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He knew that his judgment was correct. These flying insects were extremely sensitive to light, or it could be said that they loved to devour light!
Wang Lin retreated a few steps and slapped his bag of holding. A glittering, translucent brush appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, several golden talismans appeared. The flying insects immediately split into several groups and flew toward the talismans. They surrounded the talismans and began to devour them.
The brush in Wang Lin's right hand continued to move and one talisman after another appeared.
In reality, there weren't many flying insects, only a few hundred. However, they were the size of a finger and their bodies were illusory, so it looked like there were a lot of them. They surrounded the dozen or so talismans and began to devour them.
This scene stunned everyone, especially Zhao Yixuan and Xu Fei. This was the first time the two of them had the same expression in their eyes. That was shock!
When this expression fell into Wang Lin's eyes, Wang Lin was startled. He finally knew why these two people gave him such a strange feeling, but at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it. His body flickered and he immediately arrived next to the shocked Du Jian.
Du Jian was, after all, Tian Yunzi's disciple and the seventh disciple of the Red Division. Although he hadn't reached the Ascendant stage, his spells were still shocking. At this moment of crisis, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
This blood seemed to boil in the air and turned into particles. If it landed on Wang Lin's body, even with his cultivation level, it would melt many holes in his body.
There was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin's eyes. He waved his sleeve and the blood Du Jian coughed out was immediately swept to the side.
This method of merging essence blood into the origin soul wasn't complicated; almost all cultivators knew it. However, this method was the most damaging to the origin soul. It could be said to be a method of self-harm to kill the enemy.
Du Jian used this opportunity to quickly retreat. He slapped his bag of holding and pieces of black sarcomas appeared in his hand.
His eyes were filled with reluctance. Although this tumor looked ugly, it was a piece of filthy flesh that he had spent many years refining. If a cultivator were to come into contact with even a little bit of it, it would immediately contaminate their entire body. It was an extremely vicious magical treasure.
At this moment, he clenched his teeth and threw them all out. These sarcomas immediately exploded in the air and a rotten smell rushed toward Wang Lin.
The coldness in Wang Lin's eyes became even stronger. He took a step forward and a stream of underworld river appeared with his right hand. As it swept across the area, all the pieces of filthy flesh were sucked into it.
The underworld river was the filthiest river in the world. After the sarcomas entered the underworld river, not only did it not weaken, it became even more powerful.
Du Jian was indeed very strong among cultivators of the same cultivation level. This sarcoma-like treasure allowed him to be invincible. However, in the eyes of Wang Lin, his cultivation level wasn't high enough unless he was determined to break through the barrier in his heart and take that step toward Ascendant.
Like a hot knife through butter, Wang Lin's right hand moved like lightning and grabbed the despairing Du Jian. He didn't ask any questions and used his celestial spiritual energy to seal Du Jian's origin soul, cutting off the connection between Du Jian and his body. Then he slapped his bag of holding and the restriction flag appeared. With a wave of his hand, countless restrictions surrounded Du Jian, forming the same restriction ball as Yao Xixue's. Then Wang Lin threw it into his bag of holding.
Wang Lin did all of this very quickly and cleanly. Even if Murong Zhuo wanted to say something, it was too late.
Wang Lin turned around and waved his celestial brush. The golden talismans immediately flew over and surrounded Wang Lin's body. The insects on the talismans didn't care about what was happening around them at all. They were focused on devouring the golden light.
However, this golden light seemed to be endless. No matter how much they devoured, it didn't decrease at all.
Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he pointed with his left index finger. The finger of death howled and pierced through one of the golden talismans as if it wasn't obstructed at all.
This scene, along with the fact that all of Murong Zhuo's spells had missed, immediately caught the attention of Zhao Yixuan and Xu Fei. Murong Zhuo revealed a look of shock and said, "Ignore spells!"
After he spoke, a hint of greed appeared in Zhao Yixuan's eyes. As for Xu Fei, his expression remained the same, but his pupils shrank.
Only Murong Zhuo was shocked, but he didn't have any greedy thoughts.
"Three Fellow Cultivators, let us continue!"
Wang Lin's expression remained the same. There were more than 10 golden talismans surrounded by insects around him. This made the current Wang Lin give off a very shocking feeling.
Wang Lin's body sank and he continued to fly down. Murong Zhuo didn't say anything and did the same. As for Zhao Yixuan and Xu Fei, they hesitated for a bit before following. However, they put some distance between them and Wang Lin. It was obvious that they dreaded him.
"Ignore spells …" Wang Lin secretly shook his head as he flew. He didn't believe that there would be a demonic beast that could ignore spells, much less these insects. If there really was a spell that could be ignored, then it could only mean that this spell wasn't strong!
Wang Lin condensed a sliver of Ling Tianhou's sword energy in his right hand and gently touched one of the insects. The insect trembled but didn't die.
There was a hint of surprise in Wang Lin's eyes. He only had one strand of Ling Tianhou's sword energy left. Using less than 100% of Ling Tianhou's sword energy was already his limit.
The four of them continued to descend into the Tide Abyss. The places that Wang Lin found to be difficult to pass through with the help of Murong Zhuo and Wang Lin, although it was a bit slow, they passed through one by one.
In this, Zhao Yixuan and Xue Fei had also put in a lot of effort, especially Zhao Yixuan. This woman's mystic arts were extremely strange. Most of the time, when she attacked, there was no sign of it, but the power was indeed displayed silently.
In comparison, Xu Fei was a bit lacking. However, ever since Wang Lin began to have doubts, he carefully observed them. The more he observed, the more certain he became.
"I didn't expect to see people from that sect here …" Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to the two women.
As long as they didn't provoke him, he wasn't willing to expose their secrets.
As for that Murong Zhuo, his spells were even more shocking to Wang Lin. His spells were very complex, and from beginning to end, Wang Lin hadn't seen him use any of them.
Wang Lin thought that although he could win against this person with his cultivation, if he didn't use any treasures, he would still be injured. However, how could this person not have treasures?
If this person's escape spell was as strange as the short old man's, then if he wanted to escape, Wang Lin wouldn't be able to catch up.
"That short old man's origin soul is locked inside the soul flag by me. Once I save Zhou Yi and deal with the matter of the Tide Abyss, I'll have to settle down and properly cultivate these spells!"
With Murong Zhuo's cooperation, the two of them joined forces and finally arrived at the bottom of the Tide Abyss. Wang Lin was a bit excited, but he suppressed it. Looking down, even with Bei Lou's crystal, he couldn't see everything clearly, only a rough outline.
However, Wang Lin's target was already very close. Ancient Monster Bei Lou had sensed that Zhou Yi's true body was here!
However, even with Bei Lou's power, it was difficult to pinpoint his exact location.
"Brother Murong, Wang has other matters to attend to, so I won't be able to accompany you any further."
Wang Lin cupped his fists together. He thought for a moment and looked at the calm Murong Zhuo. "On this trip to the Tide Abyss, Wang is very pleased to have met Brother Murong. He said that if he needs Wang Murong's help, Brother Murong can just say it!"
With Wang Lin's personality, it was extremely rare for him to say something like this. Although this Murong Zhuo had been silent along the way, he didn't hold back when it was time to act. When faced with treasures, he wouldn't be greedy.
They weren't close, so Wang Lin didn't say much.
Murong Zhuo revealed a rare smile and nodded at Wang Lin. He didn't say anything and flew down.
Wang Lin pondered a bit and sent a voice transmission to Murong Zhuo. "Brother Murong, be careful of Zhao and Xu. If Wang is not wrong, they should be Shiyin's people. One of them must have an origin soul attached to her corpse!"
Murong Zhuo didn't look at Zhao and Xu, nor did his expression change. It was as if he hadn't heard Wang Lin's voice transmission at all as he flew down. However, his gaze, when no one saw it, faintly flashed and he became vigilant.
He had heard of Shiyin before. This sect was far more powerful than an ordinary cultivation country.
Almost every cultivation planet had a branch of Shiyin. Their power was simply too great!
Zhao Yixuan and Xu Fei said their goodbyes to Wang Lin and also flew down. However, Xu Fei lowered her head and carelessly twirled her hair. A strand of hair fell and gently stuck to the crack in the cliff.
After the three of them disappeared, Wang Lin's eyes became cold and his gaze fell on the crack in the cliff. He waved his right hand and that strand of hair flew toward him. He grabbed it with two fingers!
"It looks like the warning wasn't enough!"
Wang Lin let out a cold snort and rubbed his fingers together. A green flame appeared on the strand of hair and a strand of divine sense came out. Before it could take shape, Wang Lin spat out a mouthful of origin energy. With one blow, that strand of divine sense collapsed.
At the bottom of the Tide Abyss, Xu Fei's body trembled and a trace of blood came out from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were filled with terror.
