It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

"I am fine."

Shengsheng shook his head slightly.

After a pause, he rarely apologized.

"...I'm sorry for involving you guys."

Chapter 67: The Elder of the Insect

Shengsheng has always been selfish and ungrateful.

It is extremely difficult to get them to admit their mistakes voluntarily. Even if they give in under pressure, they are still very arrogant in their hearts, shouting things like "Don't bully a poor girl" and "Don't leave after school."

But at this moment, she really felt a little sorry towards Ming Chuyao.

The other party saved her when they first met, and led the way along the way, saving Shengsheng a lot of trouble. Although he stood idly by in the first few battles of the gate, but... it also made Shengsheng realize that what Ming Chuyao was carrying might be quite heavy!

After all, after traveling together for these days, she had some understanding of Ming Chuyao's character.

He is not an indifferent person unless he has no alternative but to do so.

but.

At the most critical and dangerous moment, Ming Chuyao chose to save Xia Li, whom she met by chance, which touched the heart of Mo Sheng, who was as hard as stone, a little bit.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Ming Chuyao is a very good person! As a friend, he is definitely the type of person worth making close friends with.

of course.

Considering her own charm, Shengsheng decided not to get too close to Mingchuyao, because that would only harm her. How did it happen and how dangerous was it? The experienced Shengsheng was reluctant to talk about it.

"It doesn't matter."

Facing Xia Li's extremely rare apology, Ming Chuyao not only didn't know how precious it was, but waved her hand indifferently. She said...

"From what I've seen from Qu Yingshao's actions, I'm afraid he wants to completely bury Dongyang Pass today."

"what?"

Sheng Sheng was secretly shocked and puzzled.

"Qu Yingshao is one of the 'Nine Pillars of the Land', with a high status and noble identity."

"But, I heard from my mother that... the first generation of Nine Pillars had sworn an oath not to kill innocent people or slaughter all living things."

After hearing this, Shengsheng understood.

This Qu Yingshao lost her beloved daughter and wanted to crush Shengsheng. But when she arrived, she happened to find that Huang Shangxian had let her go. She was already furious and took her anger out on the guards. In a fit of rage, she used the spell that destroyed the west gate of Dongyang Pass.

As the saying goes, once a sword is struck, there is no regret; the same is true of Taoism.

Killing so many innocent monks must have violated the most ancient oath of the Nine Pillars, and now no one will be spared alive.

——So cruel.

Xia Li was shocked, but he also began to find ways to deal with it.

She first asked Chi Chan if she could defeat the opponent, but the answer she got was "there is not enough water in Mingjin"... The implication was that if there was enough water, Chi Chan would be able to escape unscathed from the opponent's attack.

But as soon as Sheng Sheng arrived at Jufang Yunlu, she encountered the trouble of Qu Xuan trying to steal her cauldron. She was unwilling to surrender and instead killed the other party. Therefore, she had no time to hunt in the past few months and achieved nothing.

Not only that, he also owed Lord Chan five hundred dollars.

The five hundred water debts were probably used to dig into Chi Chan's small treasury, which resulted in insufficient supply when dealing with a strong enemy like Qu Yingshao today, affecting Chi Chan's performance.

"Fellow Daoist, please be at ease..."

Upon learning that Chi Chan was no match for the opponent, Sheng Sheng couldn't help but panic. He thought to himself that today might be a very dangerous day and was trying hard to think of how to escape.

Ming Chuyao suddenly whispered in her ear and said so.

"[Gong Jin] has lost her mind due to hatred, and there are misunderstandings. Let me explain things to her."

As she said this, Ming Chuyao suddenly held Shengsheng's hand.

This startled Mou Sheng, who thought to herself that the other party still wanted to take advantage of her at such a critical moment? Fortunately, she realized the next second that she was delusional and too self-righteous.

Ming Chuyao just held the back of her hand in order to lead her behind him... This was equivalent to interrupting and blocking the surging murderous intent that Qu Yingshao released towards Shengsheng.

During this process, Ming Chuyao also nodded to Shengsheng.

His eyes were extremely gentle, and there seemed to be light in them, unusually bright and clear.

Seeing this, Shengsheng suddenly realized.

It turned out that the other party noticed her expression just now and comforted her, indicating that she need not panic.

only......

Ming Chuyao herself was only at the third level of cultivation, not as good as her maid Xia Cao.

Sheng Sheng didn't know Xia Cao's cultivation level before, but the other party's burst just now was clearly equal to the spiritual level of the old immortal, and even much stronger. It was also because of the burst just now that his disguised feather insect identity was broken, exposing himself as a member of the Four-Colored Scale Clan.

Speaking of which, Xia Cao was very well disguised.

Before this, neither Qu Yingshao nor the three friends who were traveling with her had noticed anything. As for whether Chichan had noticed it or not, Shengsheng was not sure. It was possible that this guy had noticed it but did not say anything.

——Where does she get the confidence to confront Qu Yingshao?

The girl was confused.

However, since Ming Chuyao wanted to stand up for her, she certainly wouldn't refuse.

I feel that Ming Chuyao is not the kind of person who acts without measure. She must have something to rely on to stand up. I don't expect to persuade Tiger Mom to give up her hatred, which is obviously impossible... I just hope to survive today's danger.

"Master Qu, you can recognize this thing."

While Shengsheng was thinking, Ming Chuyao had already spoken.

She first saluted towards Qu Yingshao, then immediately raised her right hand slightly and raised her thumb, revealing a dark green ring on it.

This is a wooden ring, pure green all over.

It looked very ordinary, not even as gorgeous as the jewelry made by ordinary people. Shengsheng had noticed it when they were walking together before, but because they were not familiar enough to ask about the secret, she just took a look and gave up.

"Oh? Qing Gang Ring."

Qu Yingshao paused with his fingertips spell.

Although her tone was normal, she couldn't help but look at Ming Chuyao. Before, she only had eyes for Shengsheng, and even if she noticed other people... she only stayed for a moment on Huang Mi, the governor of Dongyang Pass, and the black-scaled female cultivator who was at the peak of the fifth level of cultivation.

but.

The appearance of the Qinggang Ring forced her to face the three young monks who were standing in front of Xia Li.

"You are Mingqi's daughter, right?"

"That's right, I, Ming Chuyao, have met Immortal Lord Qu."

Since she had taken out the Qing Gang Ring, Ming Chuyao had no intention of hiding her identity, even though it was extremely risky to reveal her identity at this moment. But if she didn't reveal it, she would definitely die today. She knew how powerful the Immortal King was better than most cultivators.

In addition, she also had some plans.

If he could convince [Gong Jin] Qu Yingshao, his identity would not be exposed.

"You want to stand up for her?"

Nie Yingshao's voice at this moment was a little warmer than before, but still sharp. At the same time, her tone was exceptionally steady, and there was a sense of solemnity in her steady tone.

"...With your status as a locust elder, you are not qualified."

The Qinggang Ring is the identity symbol of the head of the Ming family.

Ever since Ming Liuzhan became one of the Nine Pillars of Jufang, and the first pillar [Ming Zun]... her maternal clan, the Ming family, is the leader of the human race, and the head of the Ming family is naturally also the leader of the human race.

But insects have no feathers or scales to cover their bodies.

Originally, there should be some monsters such as frogs, toads, earthworms, etc. included in it, but according to legend, they have been eliminated since ancient times, leaving only humans in the category.

Therefore.

Locusts now refer specifically to humans.

The one who holds the Qinggang Ring is the patriarch of the human race and naturally the elder of the insects.

Even though the two of them have a huge difference in cultivation, he is indeed qualified to talk to Qu Yingshao in this capacity. He just wants to use this capacity to mediate the blood feud.

Then it’s just as Qu Yingshao said, Ming Chuyao is not qualified!

Chapter 68: Mingchu Yao Faces Immortal Lord Qu

There are five insects in the world: insects, scales, hairs, feathers, and shells.

Anyone who achieves the status of an Insect Lord will have extraordinary abilities!

It’s like Qu Yingshao himself is not the Caterpillar Elder, because the current Caterpillar Elder is the Qingyan Demon Emperor...If at this moment, any of the other four Caterpillar Elders came to mediate the blood feud.

Even Qu Yingshao would be seven parts afraid.

Yes.

Even if she can't afford to offend him, she will not give up the blood revenge of her beloved daughter's murder and must kill Xia Li with her own hands!

Of course...

Considering how powerful the One Insect Elder was, she would definitely not be able to finish him off today, so she could only take a long-term view. Fortunately, the person who came to mediate was the current One Insect Elder, Ming Chuyao.

As everyone knows, the locusts have been weak for a long time, and any strong tribe can bully them.

Therefore, the status of the elder locust insects cannot be on par with the four elders of the scale insects, hair insects, feather insects, and shell insects... Not to mention being on par, they are not even on the same level.

It stands to reason that the insect has no right to be respected as a senior. The reason for this is that for thousands of years someone has been fighting for it. The other party, as a demon, insists on supporting the human race. And no one under the vast blue sky can defeat her.

That's why he was given the title of Elder of Insects, which is considered to be a great honor for the human race.

Now that person has been murdered and his life or death is unknown.

How could a venerable elder who was not worthy of his name make the dignified [Gong Jin] retreat? Not to mention Ming Chuyao, even if Ming Qi of the previous generation was in person, it would be useless!

Without that person, the human race is like mud that can be manipulated at will.

Qu Yingshao was filled with anger and told the other party that he was not qualified...

"As you are the elder of the gnats, swear to forget what happened today, and then you can go."

"But you need to stay, the black-scale maid."

When Ming Chuyao heard this, her brows furrowed deeply, her expression remained unchanged, and a trace of humiliation flashed in her eyes.

The other party kept saying "respect the elder", but unfortunately there was no respect at all... "Respect" originally means to respect and honor. "Chang" means leader.

As the Five Insect Elders, one can imagine how honorable their status and identity is. In a sense, it has actually surpassed the 'Nine Pillars of the Earth'.

Unfortunately.

The sky is high and the earth is vast, and you can travel all over the world. Strength is the foundation of life!

The human race is weak, so it does not get respect from other races. Even the title of Elder of Insects was forcibly given to it by [Ming Zun].

At this moment, Ming Chuyao felt an unprecedented responsibility. She had to open up a new path for the human race in the present and future after losing [Ming Zun]... This trip away from Pingjun City and even to the Far East was not only to resolve the plan of Mr. Lin of the Frost Moon Clan.

Ming Chuyao also had some plans of his own.

She is extremely eager to become stronger!

All the powerful people in the world come from the four holy places. Because Ming Qi and Ming Chuyao, mother and daughter, were expelled from the Hexu Holy Land, they could never go to the East Holy Land Hexu.

Her ultimate goal is to help the human race. It is impossible for her to go to the two holy places of the Cang Ze Dynasty to practice.

If that were the case, even after becoming an Immortal Lord, she would most likely not be accepted by the Qingyan Dynasty. She already had plant and tree demon blood in her body, and she would even be suspected of having ulterior motives by insisting on coming back.

Therefore, the only path left for her is to become a strong person.

——Rising from the Tongwu Holy Land!

Mingchu Yao's destination was Nanyangyuan, where the Tongwu Holy Land was located.

and so.

The route she took this time was to enter through the west gate of Dongyang Pass, pass Dongsandu, and head south. Of course, only she and the two servants of Dongchongxiacao knew this route, and Mingqi didn't know what his daughter wanted.

Communication is also one-sided.

"Master Qu."

Ming Chuyao felt humiliated, but she also knew that the situation was stronger than the person. She was indeed not qualified to challenge [Gong Jin] in the Nine Pillars.
