ffort, the mysterious yellow qi indeed descended upon a Xuanwen Huangjing!Hearing that there was indeed a yellow ginseng with mystical veins, Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat. A surge of excitement co...The Grand Hall of the Five Insects Sect was also caught in the battle's aftermath, left dilapidated and far from its former glory. The plaza before the Grand Hall was scarred with craters and fissures, bearing traces of fire and flooding – clear evidence of the cultivators' fierce duels.

The hall was deathly silent.

Cuixuanzi's eyes were dark, he leaned sideways and silently looked at the devastated mountain gate outside the hall, as well as the corpses of his fellow disciples, his face full of regret.

On his opposite sat two middle-aged men, both surprisingly fake Dan realm experts.

They all wore a waist token with the character 'Li' on it.

One of them stood with his hands behind him, looking imposing. When facing him, Cui Xuanzi's aura seemed to weaken considerably.

The other person was a burly man, but his breath was shallow, he clutched his chest and sat on a chair, his face pale without a trace of blood color, obviously seriously injured.

Both of them were disciples of the Liwu Palace. The one standing was named Du Xian, and the injured one was named Jiushan.

Apart from them, there was another person lying on the ground, unconscious but breathing steadily. He was still alive.

Seeing Cuixuanzi's demeanor, Du Xian wore a look of disdain and said lightly, "Cuixuan Sect Leader, why bother with this pretense They are just a few incompetent disciples. They died, so they died. Just wait for my junior brother to bring our master here. Once we capture that Qin old ghost and find the Thousand-Hand Spider Fruit, our brothers will petition our master, crediting you with merit. At that time, as long as Cuixuan Sect Leader is there, and with the protection of our Liwu Palace, reviving the Five Insects Gate would be easy."

At this moment, Jiu Shan started coughing violently. After struggling to catch his breath, he glared at Cui Xuanzi and roared: “You dare defy the order of my Li Wu Palace and use talismans to injure me and my junior brother! Killing only a few of your disciples is too lenient for you! If it weren't for my senior brother pleading on your behalf, I would have exterminated your entire sect!”

>

Cui Xuanzi clenched his fists, suppressing his anger and said: "You took advantage of Li Witch Palace's excuse to find someone, tricked me into opening the mountain gate and welcoming you in, but suddenly attacked and injured people. Do you want me to surrender The thousand-handed spider fruit has long been taken by Qin Lao Gui. If you had just asked for the thousand-handed spider fruit earlier, there wouldn't be this battle, letting my Wuchongmen die so many disciples!"

Du Xian and Jiushan looked at each other, both feeling a little awkward.

They, the siblings, came for the Thousand-Handled Spider Fruit. There were two masters at the False Dan stage, and the others' cultivation was at least at the Core Formation mid-stage. Moreover, they were proficient in combined attack techniques; they didn't take the Five Worms Gate seriously at all.

However, they never expected that Cui Xuanzi would actually have a talisman treasure. She caught them off guard and severely injured Jiu Shan and another disciple.

Luckily, by the time Cui Xuanzi was preparing talismans and treasures, all of the foundation-building cultivators from Wuchongmen had either been killed or captured by them. Cui Xuanzi found himself unable to fight a war alone.

Had it not been for using the name of the Li Witch Palace to trick their way into the mountain gate, the outcome of this battle would have been truly uncertain.

>

But to their surprise, Cui Xuanzi claimed that the Qian Shou Zhu Guo was no longer in the hands of the Wuchongmen. It had been taken by Jindan, and they had the wrong people.

Du Xian coughed lightly, turned his head to look outside the mountain gate, "Where is that Golden Core's lover hiding Why haven't my junior brother and your people come back after so long"

Cui Xuanzi snorted, "What's the rush Old Ghost Qin has several cave dwellings in the Xiong Shan region. That woman could be hiding in any of them. We can only have Tong, my junior brother, lead people to search one by one."

Jiǔ Shān squinted his eyes, staring at Cuì Xuánzi, and suddenly shouted: "Old geezer, if you dare to use any more schemes and tricks, I'll have Wǔ Chóng Mén removed from the list of sects in Xī Jiāng today!"

>Cui Xuanzi was furious, gnashing his teeth and saying: "My junior brother Tong was imprisoned by you, I was trapped here, the sect was occupied, and the treasures in the sect were looted by you. What other conspiracies and tricks can you use The Wuchongmen only has me as a fake Danjing cultivator. You have seen my natal insect gu, which has been stuck at the second transformation, and cannot be used for the Thousand-handed Spider Fruit at all. I just took you to Heifeng Valley to see it. Once the Thousand-handed Spider Fruit matures, the fragrance of the spirit fruit can't be concealed at all. As soon as the Thousand-handed Spider Fruit matured, it was discovered and taken away by Old Ghost Qin. If he wasn't here now, none of you could escape!"

"If that Golden Core was still around, we wouldn't have been so reckless to barge in like this."

Du Xian sneered, "That man just recently formed his golden core. My master has been forming his golden core for decades and has already reached a bottleneck. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm. When my master arrives, it will be as easy as turning his palm over to kill him. Don't even think that man can save you. Just obediently do things for us, and I won't mistreat you in the future."

Cui Xuanzi suddenly fell silent, without continuing to argue, lowered her head, and a strong killing intent flashed in her eyes.

Cui Xuanzi didn't believe a single word Du Xian said!

Cui Xuanzi knew that once they found the mute woman, he would be of no further use to them. These people would definitely kill him to vent their anger. So when Tong, his junior brother, left to find the mute woman, Cui Xuanzi hinted that he should take a few more detours and delay as much as possible.

Unbeknownst to him, it was precisely Cui Xuanzi's actions that bought Ya Gu precious time.

Du Xian seemed unaware of Cuixuanzi's thoughts, and turned to Jiushan, saying, "Junior brother, where did that person go We have to capture his mistress to find out. If we go searching for bugs, it might take three to five years to return. Remember Master Qiu, who spent eight years squatting outside the ice toad's nest before almost losing his grip. Although so, let's be cautious. Junior brother, please ask Master for instructions. It will take at least half a month round trip. In these half months, it would be best if we find somewhere to hide, just in case of an accident."

Speaking of this person, Jiu Shan also put away his anger and looked solemn.

Though they spoke of ease, deep down they knew the gulf between a fake Golden Core and a true one was vast. Even someone who had just formed their core could easily kill them all.

Just as Du Xian and Jiushan were discussing, they suddenly felt the ground tremble beneath their feet.

The three of them changed color drastically, suddenly turning to face the mountain gate. A breathtakingly brilliant sword energy slashed down from the sky and struck the lotus formation with a mighty force.

劍氣燦爛如雷霆.

The Five Insects Sect's Protective Mountain Great Formation trembled violently, and under the might of this single sword strike, cracks appeared, splitting it open. The lotus formation, once robust, became as fragile as glass and started to crumble.

>

One sword breaks the array!

Then, there came a thunderous roar of sword cries.

The mountains trembled, the power of this sword sent chills down the spines of the three.

Here's the translation:

"This is..."

Du Xian was astonished.

Cui Xuanzi was greatly shaken. He had recognized this sword energy, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "Why now... Why return now... Just a few more hours! Only a few more hours!"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

His face was a mixture of unwillingness and regret, which looked very strange.

"The Five Insects are no more!"

Cui Xuanzi cried out in agony, his body flung backward. With a thud, he landed on the ground, having broken his heart meridian and died instantly.

Du Xian and Jiushan were shocked by Cui Xuanzi's decisiveness. Before they could react, the second sword arrived swiftly, shattering the Five Insects Gate's protective mountain formation with a resounding crash.
