Chapter 2801: Chapter 20: Bug Saint! Wang Luo Jing Ventures into the Sacred Domain_3
In recent decades, the Tianyang Sacred Dynasty has encountered a significant trouble.
A swarm of void giant locusts wandering the Void Sea somehow drifted along the Tianhe and quietly entered the domain of the Sacred Dynasty.
By the time the Sacred Dynasty noticed, this void giant locust swarm had already multiplied and grown in scale, forming a void locust plague.
Due to the impact of the locust plague, the food production of the Tianyang Sacred Dynasty has been decreasing yearly, and by last year, it was only sixty percent of what it was at its peak. If this continues, the Tianyang Sacred Dynasty will be doomed sooner or later.
The Tianyang Saint Emperor tried countless methods and employed numerous strategies, even joined forces with several Sacred Supremes, leading the army to slay insects everywhere, but unfortunately, once the void locust plague takes shape, the number of locusts becomes so numerous as to be incalculable, at least calculated in the trillions, they are spread across fields and roads, difficult to defend against and extremely hard to deal with.
After numerous efforts that exhausted manpower and resources, they only slightly curbed the momentum of the void locust plague, likened to drinking poison to quench thirst.
But on this day.
In these years, the usually worried families of Tianyang seemed unusually spirited.
It is said that the Second Prince and Fourth Prince have been traveling outside for years, seeking solutions to the locust plague, and this time, they both confidently claimed to have invited experts in pest control back.
If it indeed proves effective, Tianyang might be saved.
Today.
It is the day to verify the "authenticity" of the experts at the Royal Farm.
In these decades, many so-called "experts" have naturally been invited by the Tianyang Sacred Dynasty, but amidst them were many who muddied the waters with few genuinely knowledgeable individuals; to avoid spending money without achieving any result and even causing adverse effects, it was necessary to verify the strength of these experts.
Over the years, the Tianyang Sacred Dynasty has become quite skilled at this, with countless so-called "experts" having shown their true colors in the face of the void locust plague.
This time, both Princes are expressing great confidence, stating that the "experts" they invited this time are extraordinary, undeniably capable of solving the locust plague, arguing fiercely in front of the Tianyang Saint Emperor.
The Tianyang Saint Emperor, therefore, ordered the two princes to invite the two experts to the Royal Farm, to evaluate the experts’ authenticity at the Royal Farm.
Representatives from various prominent families and those who enjoyed the excitement all flocked to the Royal Farm.
At this moment.
Inside the Royal Farm.
The grave and dignified Tianyang Saint Emperor sat under a temporary canopy, preparing to personally oversee this test assembly.
He seemed to have aged somewhat, perhaps from years of worry, with deep furrows etched between his brows and profound fatigue hidden beneath his eyes.
He was surrounded by Forbidden Army guards in strict formation, creating a very tense atmosphere.
At this moment, a flying carriage pulled by Level Eleven Spirit Birds descended from the sky.
The Second Prince, dressed in a richly adorned robe, respectfully led an elder with a somewhat sinister expression out of the flying carriage, approaching the Tianyang Saint Emperor: "Reporting to Old Ancestor, your child has brought the [Seven Insect Immortal Monarch]."
The Seven Insect Immortal Monarch, wearing a black robe, had eyes as sharp as a hawk, and when his gaze swept across the crowd, it felt like his God Sense pierced into everyone’s mind, causing a chilling sensation in their hearts, and none dared to meet his gaze.
Clearly, this Seven Insect Immortal Monarch’s God Sense was exceptionally extraordinary, his strength undoubtedly formidable.
"This old man is Seven Insects, greets the Tianyang Saint Emperor, Your Majesty." The Seven Insect Immortal Monarch raised his hand and performed a salute towards the Tianyang Saint Emperor.
No matter how proud he was, he dared not act arrogant in front of the Saint Emperor, thus showing ample respect when facing the Tianyang Saint Emperor.
"Immortal Monarch, don’t stand on ceremony." The Tianyang Saint Emperor warmly waved his hand, showing a courteous attitude, "This time I shall rely on the Immortal Monarch to contribute to dealing with Tianyang’s insect plague. By the way, I’ve heard the Immortal Monarch is from the Central Lands?"
"Reporting to the Saint Emperor, this old man originated from the Central Lands [Tian Yan Holy Mansion], later apprenticing under the [Bug Saint], becoming an Insect Tamer." The Seven Insect Immortal Monarch respectfully replied, "Over the years, this old man has traveled extensively, by chance saving many from insect plagues, thus earning some minor fame."
"So you are under the renowned Bug Saint. This time, our Tianyang’s locust plague can be saved." The Tianyang Saint Emperor’s weary eyes instantly lit up with a hint of joy, treating the Seven Insect Immortal Monarch with even greater solemnity.
The [Bug Saint] is an exceedingly rare example in the Sacred Domain of an Independent Cultivator achieving Great Luo Sacred Supreme status, possessing tremendous strength, and having a capricious nature with a strong vindictive spirit, few Sacred Supremes are willing to offend him.
Considering this.
The Tianyang Saint Emperor turned his gaze towards the Second Prince, speaking kindly: "You have done well this time, the journey has surely been tiring."
The Second Prince instantly revealed a joyous expression, but soon put on a serious face, sincerely expressing loyalty, "As a Prince, it is naturally my duty to share Old Ancestor’s burdens and solve problems for the country and the people."
After a pause, he cast a seemingly casual glance at the sky, then frowned, "Why hasn’t the Fourth Brother come yet? He really has no sense of timing, making the Old Ancestor wait here."
Casually throwing shade on his competitor, he stepped aside.
However, the Tianyang Saint Emperor’s expression did not change at all, still appearing unfathomable.
Time passed little by little.
An entire hour later, another flying carriage arrived from the sky.
After landing, the Fourth Prince led a woman wearing a black dress and a veil down the flying carriage.
With the veil concealing her face, people couldn’t see her appearance, only sensing that her eyes were cold and indifferent, like a deep, unfathomable cold pool.
