Lu Zixun, who was waiting outside, took the opportunity to survey the core area of the Insect Clan’s Zone 14.
Lu Zixun noticed something very odd; the architectural style of the Insect Clan was almost identical to that of human gathering places, even the traffic lights on the streets were the same.
Their vehicles were not human cars, but instead a kind of creature whose name Lu Zixun couldn’t recall.
The creatures’ spiky backs had been ground down to form seats, making them look quite similar to buses.
The merchandise sold in the street-side shops mainly consisted of items that assisted with the cultivation of Blood Energy.
There were also stores selling daily necessities, albeit only a few scattered ones, but they seemed to be doing quite well.
It seemed that the commonly seen everyday items in human areas turned into rare commodities in the Insect Clan’s domain, which was quite interesting.
After making several rounds, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes; the Insect Clan was not as decrepit as he had imagined, and this core area gave off a sense of a new civilization emerging.
"Grant civilization the years?"
These words, appearing inexplicably in Lu Zixun’s mind, made him shake his head.
It was just a bunch of insects, where was the civilization to speak of?
During the time Lu Zixun was strolling around, Tang Tianyu and Bing Xue Ning had emerged from the Insect Nest.
However, their expressions didn’t look too good.
Seeing Bing Xue Ning with empty hands, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow; it seemed the trade had failed.
The Insect Nest emitted a sharp, long howl, and the King-level guards instantly targeted Tang Tianyu and his companion.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow - what was going on, had they not failed to make the exchange?
Bing Xue Ning acted, freezing the King-level guard and began a frantic dash for life alongside Tang Tianyu.
A large Insect Tide quickly formed, surrounding the high-risk zone in an attempt to encircle them. Huan Bei, who tried to Shadow Shift over to take the two away, grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her shadow, which had followed the two, was somehow cut off, and she was now unable to teleport.
Clutching her chest and unable to wipe the blood from her mouth in time, Huan Bei took out a communicator, "Mr. Jiu, an Emperor-level creature has joined the battle, and my shadow has been severed."
Long Jiuri received this message and immediately felt a great headache.
This situation meant that the negotiations had failed and they had resorted to an outright snatch.
Unexpectedly, an Emperor-level Insect had gone to Zone 14. Who could it be...?
Ending the call, Long Jiuri rubbed his temples. It would take time to travel from Zone 7 to Zone 14, and by that time, Bing Xue Ning’s corpse would probably be cold, and he would get scolded by Tang Rong again.
Zone 14... Zone 14... Oh, right.
A light bulb went on for Long Jiuri; wasn’t Lu Zixun in Zone 13?
With the Night Evil Sword, he should be able to get the two of them out.
Just as Long Jiuri was about to dial Lu Zixun’s communicator, Lu Zixun answered immediately.
At that moment, sitting atop the bodies of two King-level creatures, Lu Zixun sighed, "Ninth Brother, I’ve run into trouble."
Feeling an Emperor-level Blood Energy Aura drawing closer, Lu Zixun said somewhat tearfully, "There’s an Emperor-level creature on its way to beat me up."
Instantly catching on, Long Jiuri spoke quickly, "The Emperor-level being you’re facing should be newly ascended. Do you still remember the Superpower Technique I taught you before?"
Having disconnected the communicator, Lu Zixun felt the increasingly intense Blood Energy Aura around him and wanted to cry but had no tears. What kind of situation was this?
Hearing that Lu Zixun was the one who had deliberately followed them, Long Jiuri suddenly felt somewhat relieved, "Bring them back, or your sister-in-law will start nagging again."
"I came here following them, but now they’ve escaped the lock and I have no idea where they’ve hidden."
"Right, just use Spiritual Energy to kill it! And have you seen Bing Xue Ning yet?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun asked a question in return.
Yue Chengwan also appeared by Yue Ying’s side, yawning, "Call out the Insect Race Heart and the Insect Bamboo Crystal, and I can ensure that your bodies will be sent back to the Human Gathering Place."
At this moment, Yue Ying was sitting on the bed in the room, clapping her hands, "If you had gone to another hotel, you might have really managed to hide from me, but unfortunately, this is the Yue Clan’s hotel."
Upon entering the room and taking a deep breath, Tang Tianyu’s pupils contracted when he heard the voice in the room.
Tang Tianyu, who embodied the arrogant and domineering aura of a King-level Insect Race member, brought Bing Xue Ning to a hotel that was well aware of the Insect Clan.
But no one knew what those two had done, as Insect Clan members kept flying past the building, seeming to not stop until they found the two.
There must’ve been some special item concealing Tang Tianyu’s Spiritual Energy: as for Bing Xue Ning, was it strange for a King-level Insect Clan member to have a human servant by their side?
Initially, Lu Zixun thought it was an Insect Clan member that looked just like Tang Tianyu.
After all, there was not a hint of Spiritual Energy, but rather a rich Blood Energy Aura.
It was only when Lu Zixun saw Bing Xue Ning standing obediently at Tang Tianyu’s side, like a maid, that he understood.
If Lu Zixun were an Insect Clan member, he probably wouldn’t have been able to find Tang Tianyu and his companion.
After all, who else could be chased and still calmly shop in the Mall?
Lu Zixun, who had donned the Invisibility Cloak to hide his presence, flew towards the hiding place of Tang Tianyu and his companion.
The outcome was significant, but the consumption was deadly. Looking at his empty Spiritual Energy Acupoint, Lu Zixun felt life was meaningless. What was he to do now?
Like a chill spreading from the depths of the netherworld, it instantly shattered the bones inside the royal family member’s body, and it was instantly over without lasting even a second.
The Emperor-level Insect Clan member had just arrived in front of Lu Zixun when he unleashed the long-prepared Ice Hell straight at it.
Feeling the presence of five King-level Insect Clan members in the room, large drops of sweat fell from Tang Tianyu’s forehead. He glanced at Bing Xue Ning by his side, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
"Who designed this hotel? I almost got lost."
Lu Zixun, who arrived behind a bit late, stepped into the room and noticed all eyes on him. He quickly hid the candied haw behind him, "What’s the meaning of this? You want to rob me?"
With a sneer, Yue Chengwan activated the Blood Ability Prison.
The room filled with the stench of blood, and Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes at Yue Chengwan, "Are you sure you want to start this?"
Yue Ying, who felt that Lu Zixun looked like someone, tugged at Yue Chengwan’s sleeve, "Brother, this cat seems to be Lord Xun."
Upon hearing his sister’s words, Yue Chengwan finally reacted.
Who was Lord Xun? That was the Queen’s favored cat...
Immediately chickening out, Yue Chengwan released the Blood Ability Prison, "Lord Xun, we can give you the Insect Race Heart, but the Insect Bamboo Crystal is off-limits."
Lu Zixun, with a face full of question marks, turned his gaze to Bing Xue Ning.
No one with a rank of SS dared to touch the Insect Bamboo Crystal. No wonder the Insect Nest pursued them relentlessly.
