The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye felt a desire to explore the white mist.

The reason for this idea was to check whether there were any insect eggs left behind by the nine-headed worm in the white mist.

If there are any, it's best to do it before they hatch...

Take advantage of their weakness and kill them.

The second point was to see if the one-armed old man who left from this white mist had perished within it.

"I want to go in and take a look," Lu Ye said, looking at the white mist ahead.

“Then let’s go, and Youluo will go too.” Upon hearing this, Youluo did not hesitate at all.

She had been to even the most dangerous places before.

With Youluo by my side, we arrived near the white mist at the entrance of the valley. As we traversed through the thick white mist, the area where we could see clearly was much smaller than before.

“In theory, there shouldn’t be any great danger in this white mist, but it’s still better to be cautious,” Lu Ye said, turning to You Luo.

Youluo nodded: "Youluo understands, let's go, my master and husband."

As she spoke, Youluo was also pondering other things in her mind.

I came here with my husband, the Lord, and we agreed that I would do my part.

In reality, aside from dealing with those harmless Devouring Worms in the passage, he didn't seem to have been of much help.

Or... how about helping out elsewhere?
For example, the gang leader should go first... and make it a fait accompli!
Its main purpose is to help the couple solve their problems!
With a slight shift in her gaze, Youluo looked at Lu Ye, who was cautiously clearing the way ahead, and gradually formed an idea in her mind.

At this moment, Lu Ye had no idea that You Luo, who was not far behind him, was not properly covering their retreat but was actually thinking about other things.

Not far after entering the white mist, Lu Ye discovered a skeleton within the mist.

Judging from its appearance, it was the skeleton of a ferocious beast, but it was impossible to tell what kind of beast it was.

After walking a while longer, Lu Ye actually found a storage ring, and not far from the storage ring, there was a pile of white bones.

"Is this the storage ring of that one-armed old man?"

Seeing this, Lu Ye felt a little curious.

He rushed to the skeleton, picked up the storage ring, and probed it with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, there were no restrictions on it, and he could easily find out what was inside.

However, most of the items inside were silver notes; there were very few source crystals.

In addition, there were two innate pills that had lost much of their medicinal power even though they were in the storage ring.

"It's actually a storage ring belonging to a cultivator at the Innate Realm?"

Looking at the skeletons below, Lu Ye fell into deep thought.

So, it seems that the number of cultivators who perished in this valley passage might not be just one or two.

Those who fell in here were basically devoured by the nine-headed void worm.

Sure enough, as Lu Ye continued his search, he discovered several more storage rings.

Based on the items in the storage ring, it can be determined that they are mostly from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Realm.

Among them were some skeletons, none of whom had storage rings with them. They might have been martial arts practitioners below the Innate Realm who did not have much wealth and had also perished here.

This also suggests that the one-armed old man who was a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm most likely did not perish.

Relying on their own strength, they actually managed to escape.

This valley passage is about two or three miles long.

If it weren't for the anti-flight restrictions and the thick white fog obscuring spiritual senses and vision, it wouldn't have become so extremely dangerous.

As Lu Ye was about to reach the end, he suddenly saw a small cocoon next to a rock.

It seems that larvae are about to emerge.

"Are there really unhatched cocoons?"

Upon seeing it, Lu Ye immediately frowned.

Fortunately, he had come in to explore; otherwise, once the cocoon hatched, it would have turned into another Void Nine-Headed Insect larva. He and Youluo flew to the rock, picked up the cocoon from the ground, and Lu Ye glanced at it; it was about the size of a thumbnail.

However, the color is a bit strange, a mix of gray and dark yellow.

The nine-headed worm cocoon... is that right?

With this question flashing through his mind, Lu Ye was just about to exert his strength to deal with the larva that had not yet hatched.

Youluo, who was closely following Lu Ye, looked over and immediately exclaimed in shock, "The Devouring Spirit Insect?!"

Lu Ye: “?”

Stopping his attempt to shatter the insect egg, Lu Ye asked, "What kind of insect?"

Youluo's eyes remained wide open, staring intently at the insect eggs in Lu Ye's hand.

"These are not the eggs of the Void Nine-Headed Insect, but... the Devouring Spirit Insect!"

"Legend has it that when it grows to its full potential, it can even devour the heavens, making it even more domineering than the Void Worm's ability to devour the void!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.

Wasn't this the territory of that nine-headed Void Worm before? How come there's another worm egg here?
Moreover, according to Youluo, the Devouring Spirit Worm is even more powerful than the Nine-Headed Void Worm.

Looking at the insect eggs in his hand, Lu Ye felt a completely different sensation from that of the Nine-Headed Insect.

The Void Nine-Headed Worm embodies extreme evil, while this unhatched worm egg lacks that evil aura.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Ye temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​killing him.

I plan to wait until it hatches and see what happens. If it's a nine-headed worm, I'll be able to recognize it at a glance.

The newly hatched larvae had no power to resist in his hands.

"Alright, I'll keep it and see." Lu Ye didn't put the insect egg into his storage ring, but instead put it directly into the Myriad Paths Pavilion.

After all, if its origins are truly as terrifying as Youluo described, it's clear that we should take it a little more seriously.

Youluo thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "I've heard a rumor that the Devouring Spirit Insect loves to use other kinds of spirit insects as its food. Could this cocoon have come here from the cocoon itself?!"

This guess was so bizarre that Youluo laughed after saying it.

Even though it is a spirit insect, it is different from other ordinary insects.

But isn't it a bit too absurd for a creature to be searching for food before it's even born?

Lu Ye also laughed, looking at the white mist that had thinned considerably in front of the valley passage, knowing that the exit was not far ahead.

"Let's go out. Staying in this white fog for too long is really uncomfortable."

A few minutes later.

After leaving the passage, Lu Ye discovered that he was in a completely unfamiliar place.

The surrounding trees were lush and the weeds were mostly waist-high, indicating that there was hardly any human habitation nearby.

After the anti-flight restrictions disappeared, Lu Ye felt much more relaxed.

After walking about three or four miles with Youluo, they encountered a man with the strength of the late stage of Condensation Source.

Judging from his attire, he seemed to be a hunter.

The hunter at the Condensation Realm stared wide-eyed as if he had seen a ghost when he saw someone actually emerging from the depths of the mountains in that direction.

"You...came from over there?!"

After saying this, the hunter decisively took two steps back, looked up at the blazing sun hanging in the sky, and felt a little more at ease.

With such a bright sun, and these two people casting shadows... it shouldn't be anything evil!

Seeing the hunter's actions, Lu Ye's expression changed.

He seemed very afraid of the two of them. Could it be that he knew the location of that valley? (End of Chapter)
