Countless gazes seemed to have solidified on the gentle and beautiful white clothed lady in the sky. Her smile was tranquil and picturesque, while the four winged black beetle beneath her feet emitted a monstrous ferocious aura. Its savage appearance caused one to tremble with fear.
The huge contrast caused the white-clothed lady to faintly appear a little bewitching.
The silence between the heavens and earth lasted for a brief moment before it was broken by a wave of commotion. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and revere at the same time.
"It's actually Su Qingyin!"
"She's Su Qingyin?
How beautiful, but the black beetle beneath her feet doesn't seem simple … "
"Nonsense, she's an Insect Master, to begin with, and her means of battle is to nurture Spiritual Insects. That four-winged beetle seems to be called the Four-Winged Spiritual Insect. It's extremely swift, and it's comparable to a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign."
"Second on the Expert Ranking, truly worthy of her reputation."
"… …"
As the commotion resounded, Mu Chen looked at Su Qingyin with a grave expression. Although he was shocked by the latter's temperament, he soon sensed a dangerous aura from the latter.
That dangerous aura made Mu Chen feel as if he was facing a great enemy, and he even felt a dense threat.
That woman wasn't simple.
Then again, how could a woman that could surpass someone like Jia Louluo on the Expert Ranking be ordinary?
Although the ranking didn't mean that Su Qingyin was stronger than Jia Louluo, it still proved how powerful she was.
Beside him, Lin Jing curiously looked at Su Qingyin, but her gaze was focused on the black beetle beneath the latter's feet, as if she was more interested in the beetle.
Up in the sky, Su Qingyin was indifferent to the commotion caused by her appearance. Her gaze roamed and swept across those that could enter the Top 20 on the Expert Ranking, like Liu Gui, Wang Tongxian, and many others.
When those geniuses, who were unreachable in the eyes of others, sensed her gaze, their skin turned cold and they pretended not to look at her. Their prideful auras from before had been completely erased, as if they were afraid of attracting Su Qingyin's interest.
This was because they knew that this seemingly gentle lady was not as gentle as she seemed. Furthermore, her favorite thing to do the most was to find powerful opponents to train the spirit bugs that she was nurturing.
Currently, apart from top experts like Zhu Yan and Jia Louluo, the rest of the top twenty experts on the Expert Ranking had more or less met Su Qingyin by chance and became her guinea pigs …
Fighting those ferocious spirit insects was clearly not a good thing.
Su Qingyin casually cast a glance at Liu Gui and the rest before shifting her gaze onto Qin Jingzhe and chuckled, "Qin Jingzhe, you're here as well. You and my Spiritual Sword Insect have yet to determine a victor."
Seeing that Su Qingyin had locked onto him, Qin Jingzhe's body tensed up and his expression stiffened. "I don't have the time to play with you right now, find someone else."
Su Qingyin smiled before she suddenly shifted her gaze and locked onto Mu Chen's direction.
"You're Mu Chen, who defeated Xia Hong in the Quasi-Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm?" Su Qingyin curiously asked.
Countless gazes were gathered onto Mu Chen. The latter clearly did not expect that Su Qingyin would speak to him, so he was briefly stunned before he calmly replied, "I was just lucky, Miss Su isn't worthy of your attention."
Judging from the expressions of Qin Jingzhe and the rest, this seemingly gentle Su Qingyin didn't seem to be a good person. Thus, Mu Chen had no intention to have anything to do with her.
"Haha, I heard that you've cultivated a mysterious Sovereign Celestial Body. I wonder if I can take a look at it?" Su Qingyin's gaze flickered as she smiled.
When she finished speaking, she suddenly waved her hand and a black light burst out from her sleeve, expanding along with the wind and instantly turned into a spirit insect that was a few dozen feet in size.
The spirit insect had four limbs that were greyish-white in colour like rocks. On the surface of its body, there were countless Spiritual Energy runes that vaguely emanated a powerful energy.
Boom!
When the greyish-white spirit insect appeared, it flew out like a bolt of lightning and appeared before Mu Chen, then threw a jab forth with visible ripples spreading out.
Su Qingyin's move was so sudden that even Mu Chen did not expect her to make a move so abruptly. Thus, when the spirit insect's jab flew over, only then did he react and his face slightly sank.
Roar!
A dazzling golden light burst out from Mu Chen's body with a draconic roar and phoenix cry that resounded from his body. He had also thrown a jab forth with the claws of a True Dragon covering his fist.
Rumble!
When Mu Chen's fist collided with the Spirit Insect, a loud sound rang out. A powerful shock wave wreaked havoc, causing a layer of the nearby earth to collapse.
Ripples fluctuated as the impact swept out. The Spirit Insect emitted a sharp screech as it was sent flying by Mu Chen's fist.
Rustle.
When the surrounding experts saw this scene, a commotion broke out. Su Qingyin's spirit insect definitely possessed the strength comparable to a Ninth Grade Sovereign. But they never expected that it would be sent flying by Mu Chen the moment they came into contact.
At this moment, many people looked at Mu Chen with grave gazes. It looked like it wasn't a fluke that the latter could defeat Xia Hong, but he truly possessed considerable strength.
"Interesting."
Up in the sky, Su Qingyin's eyes flickered with light as she gently smiled and waved her sleeve. Another cold spirit insect flew out, spewing a cold aura as it charged towards Mu Chen.
This spirit insect was clearly more troublesome to deal with than the previous one. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
But just when the Cold Spirit Insect charged out, a crystallised flame swept out and enveloped the spirit insect. As the flames blazed, the Cold Spirit Insect frantically shrieked and retreated, not daring to take another step forward.
Standing beside Mu Chen, Jiu You coldly looked at Su Qingyin with crystallised flames blazing on her hand as she coldly said, "Aren't you a little too uneducated to make a move against someone for no reason?"
She was clearly enraged by Su Qingyin's fearlessness, so her words weren't polite in the slightest. Although Su Qingyin had the Myriad Insect Ancestor standing behind her, she wasn't afraid of Jiu You's Sparrow Clan.
"Haha."
When Su Qingyin heard Jiu You's words, her expression did not change. She gently smiled and waved her sleeve again. This time, a terrifying ominous aura soared into the sky.
Everyone could see a crimson spirit insect flying out.
The spirit insect was akin to a centipede with a thousand feet. As it crawled in the sky, boundless Spiritual Energy swept out as if it had formed into a storm.
The appearance of the insect had caused many experts' faces to drastically change as they exclaimed, "That's a Blood Centipede! It's said that even Pinnacle Ninth Grade Sovereigns would have a headache facing it."
Boom!
The crimson centipede shuttled through space and pounced towards Jiu You with a speed akin to a spectre.
Seeing Su Qingyin pestering him, Mu Chen's face turned dark with a chill flashing in his eyes. As his sleeve trembled, Spiritual Seals swiftly formed.
If he had to face an opponent like Su Qingyin, then he would have to use Spiritual Arrays.
But just when Mu Chen was about to set up Spiritual Arrays, Lin Jing suddenly took a step forth and smiled with her eyes narrowed as she looked at the crimson centipede and waved her sleeve.
A black beam shot out and expanded, forming into a black-clothed silhouette. It was the Spiritual Frost Puppet in Lin Jing's hand.
Rustle!
When the Spiritual Frost Puppet appeared, it had brandished its sword and a torrential cold aura swept out, causing the temperature in this region to instantly drop.
Up in the sky, Su Qingyin's face changed when she saw the Spiritual Frost Puppet.
The dreadful cold aura rolled out and slashed at the blood-red centipede. Instantly, the cold aura corroded it, causing the centipede to emit a mournful shriek. Then, it swiftly retreated as the boundless Spiritual Energy around its body rapidly withered.
Waving her hand, Su Qingyin immediately recalled the crimson centipede with a trace of heartache in her eyes.
"Hehe. Big Sister, I'm also very interested in your Spiritual Insects. Why don't you summon all your Spiritual Insects and let me play with them?" Lin Jing smiled with her eyes narrowed as she looked at Su Qingyin.
Her eyes lit up as if she was really looking forward to Su Qingyin's Spiritual Insects.
At this moment, the entire region was silent with everyone looking at Lin Jing with shock. They clearly never expected that such a beautiful girl would be so unfathomable.
Even they felt a strong sense of threat from that Spiritual Puppet.
The smile on Su Qingyin's face slowly retracted as she looked at the Spiritual Frost Puppet before Lin Jing. Her gaze had turned more solemn, since she could sense that the Spiritual Frost Puppet possessed the terrifying fighting strength of a Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign.
If she didn't bring out her trump card, then she wouldn't be able to obtain victory.
"That lass … where did she come from?"
Su Qingyin's gaze slightly changed before she smiled and waved her hand to recall the Spiritual Insects. Her expression turned gentle once again as she looked at Mu Chen. "Qingyin was too rash earlier, I hope that Brother Mu can forgive me."
At this moment, she already knew that Mu Chen's party wasn't as simple as she had imagined. Since that's the case, then it's best for her not to become enemies with them.
She had an apologetic smile on her face, which made many people inwardly smack their lips as they looked at Mu Chen's group with unusual gazes. After all, it wasn't an easy matter to make Su Qingyin give in.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen faintly smiled and did not speak any further.
Although he didn't like Su Qingyin's way of doing things, he also didn't want to be enemies with her. So it was enough that they could be wary of each other.
Everyone was a little disappointed when they saw both parties taking a step back. They initially thought that they would be able to witness a shocking battle … but since Mu Chen's party was able to make Su Qingyin suffer a little, it looked like they were pretty capable.
Countless gazes were directed at Mu Chen's party. The latter's party had returned to silence as they looked at the massive Dragon Ascension Gate.
As time passed, more and more experts arrived. In the end, someone finally couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move against the Dragon Ascension Gate …
At this moment, Mu Chen's party had also focused their gazes over.
