Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#420 - Yu Chun's plan

With a gentle grasp, Li Chengfeng captured the soul of the Rank Three sea beast and promptly tossed it into the Soul-Devouring Banner.

He collected the remaining materials and stored them in his interspatial ring before departing, heading towards his next target.

His spiritual sense was keen, making it difficult even for spiritual herbs and plants to escape his detection.

As he slowly traversed beneath the volcano, he gathered a considerable number of fire spirit stones, approximately thirty thousand, each swirling with fiery energy.

If sold, they would undoubtedly fetch a handsome price.

However, he had no such intention; as the Azurefire War Dragon, these fire spirit stones were precisely what he urgently needed.

His objective was clear, not aimless wandering, but to find traces of Kang Wei, the insect demon.

Because Kang Wei's insects had advanced, their aura had greatly changed, making them difficult to pinpoint.

Furthermore, Ancestor Shennian had secretly altered the aura of the Gold-Devouring Insects, so Li Chengfeng was temporarily unable to capture Kang Wei's aura.

However, he had his own strategy, specifically seeking out areas suitable for the survival of spirit insects.

One day, as he was proceeding, he discovered numerous cultivators' corpses strewn across a pool of blood, their deaths gruesome, leaving only piles of white bones, clearly gnawed upon by some kind of insect.

A magical artifact, half-eaten, lay abandoned on the ground.

Li Chengfeng reached out, and the artifact landed in his palm.

He carefully sensed the aura upon it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards, revealing a satisfied expression.

He muttered to himself, "Insect Demon Kang Wei, I have finally found a clue leading to you."

He knew that even if Ancestor Shennian could temporarily conceal the aura of the Gold-Devouring Insects, as long as Kang Wei was active, he would inevitably leave traces.

Therefore, he immediately cast a tracking secret technique, enveloping the aura and storing it in the Book of Sin.

With a thought, he began tracking, and within the range of his spiritual sense, eighteen hundred miles, although he didn't find Kang Wei's direct traces, he unexpectedly discovered another clue left behind from a battle.

Li Chengfeng immediately flew to the scene.

A battle had just subsided there, with corpses scattered around and an atmosphere of desolation permeating the air.

He also found seven or eight pieces of broken scraps, and upon closer inspection, he confirmed that they bore the aura of the Gold-Devouring Insects.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "This insect demon is truly cunning.

How did he escape my spiritual sense range, or did he hide his aura?"

His pupils contracted as he pondered that with a large number of insects, his movements shouldn't be so fast, so he must have a method of concealment.

Therefore, he used his powerful spiritual sense to carefully search the surroundings, attempting to find a trace of a clue.

Just then, he sensed a faint aura in the seaweed in the seabed, speculating that the other party might have used some special means of concealment.

If Li Chengfeng's spiritual sense wasn't so strong, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

He coldly snorted, his black robe fluttered, and his figure instantly disappeared into the water.

Immediately afterward, a scream pierced the silence, and a cultivator burst out of the water, kneeling before Li Chengfeng, trembling all over.

It turned out that he was infested with a dozen Heaven-Devouring Insects, which could be fatal at any moment.

This cultivator was at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, with a rat-like face and a goatee, about sixty years old, and had already given up hope of advancing to the late stage.

Yet he was still desperately seeking opportunities in this sea area.

He knelt and begged for mercy, "Fellow Daoist, spare me, my name is Yu Chun, I am not that insect demon.

The insect demon killed more than a dozen of our fellow Daoists and has quietly left.

It's all our fault for being greedy, organizing an insect-slaying alliance, but we didn't expect it to cost us our lives.

Only I, because I noticed the unfavorable battle situation in advance, hid in the seaweed on the seabed and used a special talisman to conceal my aura, and was able to escape."

Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile, and he looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist is indeed as cunning as a fox, full of lies.

Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then I can only send you on your way, to reflect on the road to the Yellow Springs why you would end up in such a situation.

What I can't tolerate the most is deception."

Hearing this, Yu Chun's hairs stood on end, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

As an experienced old fox, he read everything from Li Chengfeng's eyes, that everything was under control.

Knowing that the situation was not good, he immediately knelt and begged for mercy: "Fellow Daoist is truly insightful, I was also forced to do so.

That insect demon has placed a restriction in my body, and if I don't obey, I will be trapped in a death of festering, it was really a last resort."

Having said that, tears fell down.

Li Chengfeng chuckled: "Oh? Then tell me, what does that insect demon look like?

And how does he control you?

If you don't tell me the truth, my Heavenly Pup will not show mercy."

Yu Chun quickly replied: "We did form an insect-extermination alliance, intending to kill that insect demon for a reward.

But that insect demon is powerful, and the Gold-Devouring Insects under his command have exceeded a thousand, which is extremely terrifying.

Thirty fellow Daoists joined forces but were unable to defeat him, and all of them fell, only I, because I am good at maneuvering and experienced, was left to be responsible for contacting the extermination matters, attempting to lure and kill more rogue cultivators.

Every word is true."

Li Chengfeng nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction: "Since you are willing to tell the truth, I will spare your life.

But you must tell me the whereabouts of that insect demon, I am going to get rid of the harm.

How about we play a trick?

"

Hearing this, Yu Chun was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be worried: "Fellow Daoist, don't joke, that insect demon is extraordinary in strength, and the aura of his insect swarm is far stronger than your insects.

They can even devour magical treasures, and your Gold-Devouring Insects may be difficult to match."

Although he said so, he wished that Li Chengfeng would go immediately and let the insect demon solve him.

How could Li Chengfeng not know what he was thinking, and smiled: "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own way.

You just need to lead the way.

If you dare to play tricks or leak the news, I will definitely make your soul fly away."

As he said that, he flicked his fingers, and a wisp of soul power entangled around him, making a painful wail.

Seeing this, Yu Chun was frightened out of his wits and quickly assured: "Fellow Daoist, don't worry, I will never dare to slack off in the slightest, I will definitely do my best."

Yu Chun added: "That insect demon has set up an ambush, preparing to ambush thirty or forty Foundation Establishment stage rogue cultivators.

It may be inconvenient for you to go alone, why don't we go and lure some rogue cultivators to act as cannon fodder.

Finally, the fellow Daoist will take action, wouldn't it be a pleasure to see immediate results."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's pupils contracted, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile.

He stared at Yu Chun and said slowly: "You are indeed very smart, but bringing a bunch of burdens will only get in the way and affect my performance.

I am the body of an insect demon, and I am also a member of the Demonic Path.

I want to see, which of our insects is more powerful, or which means is better?

In this world, there should not be a second name of an insect demon, I am the only one."

Seeing Li Chengfeng's attitude, Yu Chun couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, as if he had been seen through at a glance.

He coughed lightly and explained: "Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand, I am not questioning your strength, I am just worried about your safety, please don't mind."

Li Chengfeng smiled lightly and waved his hand: "It's okay, I have my own sense of propriety."

In his heart, he had already secretly applied a tracking technique to Yu Chun, ensuring that this old guy could not escape his control.

Yu Chun flew in front, and asked as he flew: "Fellow Daoist, I am very curious, how did you see through my relationship with that insect demon?

You didn't give me any chance to refute it, is it the principle of 'better to kill by mistake than to let go'?

Or did my acting have flaws?

"

Li Chengfeng laughed and replied: "Your acting is indeed good, and it was difficult for me to detect it.

But I am also a member of the Demonic Path, and I know his style of doing things like the back of my hand.

You are hiding so close to him, how could he let you go?

This is obviously deceiving yourself.

Furthermore, the location of the incident is so close to you, you can't even escape the induction of my Heaven-Devouring Insects, so how can you escape the induction of that Heavy Demon Gold-Devouring Insect?

Your concealment talisman can't work at all, so I determined that you were directing and acting yourself, trying to lure me into a trap."

Yu Chun smiled bitterly and sighed: "Fellow Daoist is indeed very intelligent.

I have used this method to lure and kill six or seven waves of rogue cultivators, and they all died because of greed and stupidity.

Today, I am convinced that I can be defeated by the fellow Daoist."
