Lai Qiguan finished speaking, then took out a purple wooden talisman and suddenly stabbed it into the back of the gu insect.
A chilling, miserable scream rang out.
The grotesque human face on the gu insect’s back twisted in agony.
No one knew exactly what kind of object that talisman was, but within two breaths, the gu insect turned into a pool of blood.
In fact, killing gu insects was extremely rare among gu immortals.
That was because cultivating any gu insect required a terrifying amount of time and resources.
Lai Qiguan’s reason for doing this was to prevent the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect from swallowing his own gu insect.
After all, if it could swallow even a powerful gu insect like the Boundless Salamander in one gulp,
then the gu insect he cultivated likely stood no chance against this little hedgehog’s mouth.
Rather than watch his gu insect get eaten, he chose a different tactic: sacrificing the gu insect’s life to try to win in the end.
Moreover, in Lai Qiguan’s mind, as long as he could obtain the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect, sacrificing numerous gu insects was worthwhile.
He cupped the wooden talisman with both hands, chanting obscure and difficult incantations.
Suddenly, a huge gu insect phantom appeared behind him.
It looked exactly like the one that had just died, only its size seemed magnified by at least a hundred times.
The eerie human face pattern on its back shifted quietly, and with a sharp roar,
more phantoms gradually appeared.
They were the gu insects recently swallowed by the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect.
Now they once again blocked Ye Yu and Qin Xihe’s path.
Lai Qiguan sneered coldly, “Boy, I know your immortal pet can eat gu insects. But you can’t eat the gu insect souls, right? Today, even if I lose everything, I will make sure you stay here for good!”
No sooner had he spoken than the human-faced gu insect behind roared, and the surrounding ghost gu insects immediately launched an attack on Ye Yu and Qin Xihe.
Just as Ye Yu and Qin Xihe prepared to counterattack—
Something was faster than them!
The Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect opened its small mouth and swiftly swallowed all the ghost gu insects.
This scene was extremely familiar.
Right—these gu insects had died like this in life, and now it seemed they died the same way in death.
It truly matched the saying: life is a cycle, death is too.
After finishing, the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect seemed still unsatisfied.
It transformed into lightning and swiftly moved to the side of the human-faced gu insect phantom, nipping lightly.
The hundred-zhang phantom immediately dissipated.
After its meal, the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect returned to Ye Yu’s shoulder, patted its belly, and burped contentedly.
It was obvious it had thoroughly enjoyed itself.
Lai Qiguan was completely stunned, standing dumbfounded.
“You little thing, you’re way too presumptuous!”
“My carefully devised method for killing gu insects was just broken by you eating a couple bites?!”
“If I’d known you could even eat the gu insect souls, why bother killing them at all?”
“Seriously, what kind of creature are you? How can you even eat gu insect souls?”
Lai Qiguan was deeply confused.
In fact, he was not the only one confused—Ye Yu had never expected such a scene either.
He was greatly shocked.
“No way—you really eat it all!”
“So you specialize in gu insect reincarnation prohibition? Eat the flesh and the soul too? This whole production chain, you’ve mastered it thoroughly.”
“It really opens one’s eyes.”
“Can only say, the immortal beasts created by the system are way too powerful!”
Ye Yu gently patted the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect’s head.
“Good job, keep it up.”
After giving the reward, Ye Yu snapped his fingers and cast the Thousand Dreams Illusion Technique.
In an instant, Lai Qiguan closed his eyes.
In his world, the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect on Ye Yu’s shoulder ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ began to grow infinitely large.
Then it swallowed him whole.
Surprisingly, no matter how hard Lai Qiguan struggled, he could not escape from inside the hedgehog’s belly.
He was an Immortal King realm expert—how could he lose to an immortal beast?
Although he didn’t know why, helplessly, Lai Qiguan abandoned his immortal body and relied on the lightness of his divine soul to barely escape.
But before he could regain his footing, a powerful suction came again.
Lai Qiguan’s divine soul was swallowed by the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect.
So this was how his beloved gu insect was killed to destruction of both body and soul?
Terrifying—absolutely terrifying!
“No, I don’t want this—I don’t want this!”
In reality, Lai Qiguan knelt on the ground, screaming madly, his whole body seeming deranged.
Ye Yu wasted no words and immediately used the Primordial Profound Skill to slay this Immortal King.
It was clear that the Thousand Dreams Illusion Technique was truly powerful.
It could save a lot of trouble and deserved praise.
Then Ye Yu took Lai Qiguan’s storage ring.
After all, he was still an Immortal King realm expert—there should be something valuable inside, and he planned to show it to An Jinqiu later.
After finishing all this,
Ye Yu turned to Qin Xihe and asked with puzzlement, “Immortal Lord, why did you come here?”
“I...”
Qin Xihe was about to speak but suddenly stopped, looking behind Ye Yu.
An Jinqiu was rushing over at high speed, dragging behind her an immortal covered in blood.
It was none other than Lai Qiguan’s friend, Ding Zhihao.
These two Immortal King experts had originally come to freeload but unexpectedly both fell here.
Well, at least it was neat and tidy.
“Husband, are you alright?”
An Jinqiu looked at Ye Yu anxiously and only relaxed after seeing he was unharmed.
She then fixed her gaze on Qin Xihe.
She immediately recognized her as the Immortal Sect Leader of the Star Relocation Pavilion.
Back then, she had competed with Qin Xihe for Ye Yu, but in the end, she should have been the winner.
An Jinqiu bowed slightly and whispered, “Thank you, you two talk—I’ll return to Yourong City first.”
This “thank you” was An Jinqiu’s instinctive acknowledgment that Qin Xihe had saved Ye Yu.
So naturally she felt she had to express gratitude.
But to Qin Xihe, it sounded somewhat grating.
She really had done nothing and felt undeserving.
Watching An Jinqiu’s departing figure, Qin Xihe felt bitter beyond words.
After a long silence, she could not help but softly ask, “Have you already become immortal partners?”
