Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: Set Them Up for Death
With the help of Xu Nian’s space shuttling power, the Void Spirit Worm directly broke away from the Seven Fiends and charged toward the Elder of Demon Control and the others.
The Seven Fiends, having caught the scent of Spiritual Demon Powder, hurriedly followed.
At this moment, the Elder of Demon Control and Wei Dong were leading Guihai Tiangong and his party swiftly deeper into the inner sanctum of the Sage Gate.
"Haha, there’s really not even one Heavenly Killer, Master, your method is truly effective. That group is probably already torn to shreds by the Heavenly Killers," Guihai Tiangong laughed heartily.
He had long been displeased with Xu Nian, and now that Xu Nian was besieged by the Seven Fiends, he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
If time weren’t precious, he would have loved to personally witness how Xu Nian was killed by the Seven Fiends.
The Elder of Demon Control, hearing his disciple’s praise, also showed a smile.
Guihai Badao and Guihai Yanshan, among others, sneered coldly.
"Haha, that kid caused my son’s death, dying at the hands of the Heavenly Killers would be too easy for him," Yuan Ba laughed heartily, also feeling a great sense of joy.
Only Gu Xiangxiang frowned, thoughtful.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a rapid stream of light rushed toward Guihai Yanshan and the others.
"What’s that?"
Guihai Yanshan immediately grew furious and, wielding a battle saber, struck directly at the Void Spirit Worm.
"No!"
The Elder of Demon Control instantly sensed something amiss and cried out urgently.
However, it was already too late.
"Pfft!"
Guihai Yanshan’s battle saber instantly sliced the Void Spirit Worm in two.
Blood splattered, spraying directly onto Guihai Yanshan’s body.
Looking at the Void Insect Clan’s corpse on the ground, Guihai Yanshan’s eyes showed a hint of disdain as he turned and asked in confusion, "It’s just an Insect Clan Demon Beast with very weak strength. What’s the issue?"
Guihai Badao and the others also looked curiously at the Elder of Demon Control, not understanding why he was so tense.
"Hmph, just an Insect Clan Demon Beast? Do you know what trouble you’ve caused? Didn’t you notice the scent of Spiritual Demon Powder mixed in the blood that splattered on you?" The Elder of Demon Control coldly snorted, his expression extremely grave.
"Spiritual Demon Powder?" As soon as the Elder said this, everyone around showed expressions of surprise.
How did Spiritual Demon Powder appear here?
Guihai Yanshan quickly inspected the blood on him, and his face changed drastically upon examining it.
Indeed, the blood on him contained the aura of Spiritual Demon Powder.
The most crucial point was that this blood, mixed with Spiritual Demon Powder, had already entered his dantian and couldn’t be removed for the time being.
"How could this be? Was this Insect Clan Demon Beast released by that Xu Nian?" Guihai Yanshan hurriedly asked.
"If my guess is right, it should be. And if it is true, then Xu Nian is even more extraordinary. Do you know what kind of Insect Clan this is?" The Elder of Demon Control said gravely.
"The Void Insect Clan, this type of clan only follows the orders of the Void Mother Empress, and once such a Void Mother Empress appears, it can basically destroy a Star Domain," Wei Dong said with a heavy expression.
"Void Insect Clan?" Guihai Tiangong showed a surprised expression.
"Tiangong, I recall you mentioned encountering a Void Insect Nest," Guihai Badao said.
Everyone turned to look at Guihai Tiangong.
"Yes, I once saw a Void Insect Nest, but at the time it was dormant, and I was hunting Xu Nian, who used the Void Insect Nest to threaten me. Otherwise, that guy would’ve died at my hands long ago," Guihai Tiangong explained.
The others, upon hearing this, showed expressions of surprise and amazement.
"It seems that Xu Nian has already controlled the Void Insect Clan. Who would’ve thought he had such means? If we could get the Void Mother Empress, let alone the entire Tianhen Star Domain, even other Star Domains could be ours," Wei Dong suggested.
Everyone around nodded in agreement.
They had heard of the fearsome power of the Void Insect Clan.
Once, a Void Insect Clan appeared in a Star Domain and massacred all the living beings in it.
Fortunately, the Void Insect eventually ascended to the Immortal Realm, or else swallowing up two or three Star Domains wouldn’t have been an issue.
After all, a Void Mother Empress at the Earth Immortal Peak could nurture countless Earth Immortal level insects, and the Profound Argumentation grasped by the Void Mother Empress could also empower the powerful insects.
Such terrifying ability, how could it not inspire fear?
"Xu Nian!" Guihai Tiangong clenched his fist tightly, his eyes filled with a strong killing intent.
"Now’s not the time to discuss this. He’s stained with Spiritual Demon Powder, and the Seven Fiends will soon come. We must leave quickly," the Elder of Demon Control urged.
Only then did everyone realize this point.
"Roar!"
But just as they were about to leave, a terrifying roar echoed from the distance.
The eight of them all changed expressions, realizing the Seven Fiends had arrived so quickly.
Sure enough, seven black figures charged out from the mist towards Guihai Yanshan.
"Help me!"
Guihai Yanshan desperately resisted, but the Seven Fiends were powerful, and he could only parry two blows before being torn in half by one of the Heavenly Killers.
"Second brother!"
"Father!"
Guihai Badao and Guihai Tiangong cried out in shock.
However, Guihai Yanshan was already beyond saving.
Guihai Tiangong’s eyes turned blood-red, filled with killing intent, and he roared, "Xu Nian, if I don’t kill you, I’m not human!"
Guihai Badao’s eyes were also blood-red, overwhelmed with grief and anger.
"Roar!"
Having killed Guihai Yanshan, the Heavenly Killers charged toward the Elder of Demon Control and the others.
The Elder of Demon Control and Wei Dong quickly acted, repelling two of the Heavenly Killers.
"You stay behind, we’ll go!" Wei Dong commanded two assassins to hold off the Heavenly Killers, then flew alone towards the depths of the Sage Sect.
"Tiangong, we’re leaving too!" The Elder of Demon Control grabbed Guihai Tiangong and flew toward the depths of the Sage Sect.
As for Guihai Badao, he didn’t care at all.
Guihai Badao’s expression changed drastically, and he swung his battle saber frantically, trying to fend off the Heavenly Killers’ attacks.
However, he was no match for the Heavenly Killers, and was soon pierced through the chest by their claws.
On the other side, Yuan Ba and Gu Xiangxiang were also in a dire situation.
Yuan Ba was directly entangled by a Heavenly Killer, locked in a close fray.
In no time, Yuan Ba’s body was covered in wounds.
Gu Xiangxiang was utterly terrified, her strength completely insufficient against these Heavenly Killers.
But just as she thought she would be torn apart by the Heavenly Killers, she was shrouded by a strange space power.
In the next moment, she disappeared from where she was.
"It’s you?" Gu Xiangxiang looked in astonishment at Xu Nian who appeared before her, not expecting him to save her.
"Since you gave me a heads-up, I naturally won’t abandon you. This is my Small World. You can cultivate here first, and I’ll send you out when it’s safe," Xu Nian remarked before leaving the Chaos Divine Palace.
Indeed, Xu Nian placed Gu Xiangxiang in a small space he had opened up on the first level of the Chaos Divine Palace, which had formerly housed Shi Guangxu.
