Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 699: Chapter 52: Understanding Cause and Effect, Substitute Gu!

Just as he was about to place True Monarch Feng Yan’s corpse into the Storage Bag,

suddenly—

a translucent cyan light shot out from the corpse, rushing towards Zhou Xun at an incredible speed,

when he realized it, that small shadow was less than an inch away from his body,

in the next moment,

the shadow seemed to hit something, being blocked outside.

It was Zhou Xun’s Celestial Profound Spirit Armor.

At this point, Zhou Xun reacted immediately with a wave of his hand,

countless Thunder Arcs appeared, striking that small shadow instantly, revealing its true form.

It turned out to be a thumb-sized, extremely fierce-looking Alien Insect.

"What is this?"

It was his first time seeing such a Spirit Insect, so he cast several Restrictions, sealing it into a Jade Bottle,

and along with True Monarch Feng Yan’s body, placed them into the Storage Bag for future study.

After doing this, Zhou Xun’s gaze turned to the battlefield between Spirit Turtle Red Noon and the Blood Demon General.

He saw Spirit Turtle Red Noon and the Blood Demon General working in perfect harmony, intensely battling the two Iron-Backed Demon Dragonflies.

The Blood Demon General’s tall figure emanated a terrifying blood aura, with every attack carrying immense power, forcing the Iron-Backed Demon Dragonfly to deal with it cautiously.

Meanwhile, Spirit Turtle Red Noon used its hard turtle shell and strong Defense to withstand the Iron-Backed Demon Dragonfly’s attacks, occasionally launching counterattacks.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly, quite pleased with their performance.

These two Demon Dragonflies were clearly of an exotic breed, incredibly powerful; the fact that the Red Noon Demon Emperor and the Blood Demon General managed to hold their own was beyond Zhou Xun’s expectations.

Next, it was time for him to act.

In a flash, he vanished, reappearing the next moment behind the left Demon Dragonfly,

with a flash of Thunder Light in his hand, a Thunder Arc appeared out of thin air, striking towards the Iron-Backed Demon Dragonfly.

"Boom—"

A loud explosion sounded,

the Demon Dragonfly was hit by the Thunder Light, letting out a shrill cry, its form trembling violently.

The Blood Demon General seized the opportunity to attack, a flash of blood light in his hand transforming into a blood-red Ghost Head Saber, slashing towards the Iron-Backed Demon Dragonfly.

Spirit Turtle Red Noon was not to be outdone, with the Turtle Shell Shield in front of it glowing brightly, an upward Crimson light shot out,

transforming into a massive flaming hand hundreds of feet in size, grabbing towards the other Iron-Backed Demon Dragonfly,

this move was only to block its attack, preventing it from aiding the other!

As expected,

the flaming giant hand collided with an illusory spike, blocking it,

while the other Demon Dragonfly had already lost half its body,

first struck by Zhou Xun’s Thunder Light, then hit by the Blood Demon General, instantly severely injured, losing its fighting capacity.

Zhou Xun thus abandoned it,

with a flip of his hand, the Extreme Blade appeared in his hand,

in another flash, he appeared above the intact Demon Dragonfly, lightly stabbing with the Extreme Blade.

"Pfft—"

A faint metallic sound was heard as the Demon Dragonfly instantly lost its life.

At this moment, the other Demon Dragonfly was also slain by the Blood Demon General.

All of this happened in the span of just a few breaths since True Monarch Yuangu had appeared until now.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, placing the two Iron-Backed Demon Dragonflies into the Blood Demon Bag.

Spirit Turtle Red Noon and the Blood Demon General returned to Zhou Xun’s side,

"You did well today!" Zhou Xun

Zhou Xun patted Spirit Turtle Red Noon’s shoulder in appreciation.

The Blood Demon General stood silently by, awaiting Zhou Xun’s orders. With True Monarch Feng Yan and the two Iron-Backed Demon Dragonflies dealt with, Zhou Xun’s gaze turned back towards the island interior.

True Monarch Yuangu had already entered some time ago,

he had better hurry and follow, lest True Monarch Celestial Star’s legacy be taken away, leaving him full of regrets.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look inside."

With that, he dashed towards the island interior, with Spirit Turtle Red Noon and the Blood Demon General right behind him.

Along the way, Zhou Xun was cautious, wary of any ambush by True Monarch Yuangu.

Soon, he discovered a palace occupying over a few dozen yards, with its gates wide open, and the Restriction on the doors destroyed,

it was obvious that True Monarch Yuangu had opened it.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun felt a sinking feeling,

could everything have already been taken away so quickly!

Zhou Xun immediately entered.

However, the palace was empty, its shelves bare, and in the center, the light barrier on the stone platform was broken, with no treasures to be seen!

Zhou Xun’s face turned so dark it seemed water could drip from it,

having worked painstakingly towards fruition, to only be preempted by someone else,

at this moment, he considered True Monarch Yuangu his lifelong adversary.

"Do you really think you can escape!"

Zhou Xun sneered,

then took out the Jade Bottle containing the mysterious Spirit Insect, suspecting that True Monarch Feng Yan’s obedience to True Monarch Yuangu,

was closely linked to this Insect.

Given True Monarch Yuangu’s expertise in the Spirit Gu Technique, everything became clear.

He must have controlled True Monarch Feng Yan using this Gu, enabling such obedience.

Otherwise, with both at Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation, no one would willingly subordinate to another.

Next, Zhou Xun retrieved his Small Divination Compass,

chanting incantations, his hands forming seals, he pointed at the mysterious Spirit Insect,

instantly drawing an invisible thread of energy, merging it into the Compass,

moments later, the Compass flashed, revealing a golden arrow pointing upwards in a certain direction,

"Found you, so you’re hiding there!"

said Zhou Xun, flipping his hand to once again retrieve the Cyan Jade Cup, slowly infusing Mana, emitting waves of cyan light,
