Although Luo Hong's words were a bit hurtful, Xue Tian, as a Saint Ancestor, was not a fragile person.
Therefore, after a moment of respite, he was still forced by the situation and told all the reasons why he wanted to pursue Luo Hong as promised.
Just as Luo Hong expected, they did come for the mysterious insect eggs.
The purpose of seizing the insect eggs is different from the speculations in Luo Hong's mind!
"My Taoist ancestor actually unlocked the time restriction in the insect eggs? That's really admirable!"
After learning the truth, Luo Hong was immediately amazed.
It turned out that Xuetian's ancestor once encountered a seriously injured demon-sucking ant queen by chance, and then killed it and obtained an insect egg.
But unlike Luo Hong's guess that they would refine the insect eggs into some kind of magical time magic treasure, Xue Tian's family actually broke the time restrictions in the insect eggs and successfully hatched them!
Even Luo Hong, who had understood part of the laws of time, could only do this with the help of the Demon Feeding Tower.
So in his opinion, the success of Xuetian Ancestor is really a miracle!
"The lifting of the ban has been a long time coming, and things have not been smooth sailing for my Han family since then. Some of the family's classics have been lost in several accidents.
The only thing Han knows is that our Han family did not do this on our own, but sought outside help."
Seeing that Luo Hong was very interested in this, Xuetian Yuanying immediately explained it to avoid being mistaken for deliberately concealing it.
"It's okay not to know how to release the ban, but I would like to ask my friend, how did your Han family use the insect eggs after they hatched?"
Luo Hong already had a way to lift the ban, so naturally he didn't care much about it, so he immediately asked about the follow-up situation of the insect eggs.
After all, in his original plan, he had hatched insect eggs so that she could act as the second and fifth offspring in the future battle between the insect mothers!
I just didn't expect that someone in the demon world had already done something similar.
Although the purpose of the Han family is most likely different from his, it is still of great reference value.
After hearing this, Xuetian Yuanying breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"Chizu had a strong cultivation level when he was born. Fortunately, after ancestor Han lifted the ban, he immediately imposed new restrictions, so that he could not use the magic of the law of time to escape.
After that, our Han family continued to feed Chizu various heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help her cultivate. As a price, she needed to condense a thread of time every thousand years and give it to my Han family.
According to the records in the classics, the first ten thousand years of time were used to repay the grace of lifting the ban. Later, with this resource, my Han family completely controlled a demonic realm and became powerful in all directions!"
"It turns out it's for the Thread of Time. Haha, this is a good thing that can delay the great catastrophe!"
Luo Hong's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but recall all the information about the Thread of Time.
In the legends of the spiritual world, the thread of time ranks among the treasures of the Nine Heavens, and can only be born in the mysterious and unpredictable river of time.
Even if a mortal gets it, it can immediately extend his life for thousands of years.
And if a high-level monk obtains it, it can delay the minor catastrophe for 500 years and the major catastrophe for 100 years.
For some beings who cannot survive the calamity, it is indeed a life-saving thing!
"Even if there is the power of time in the blood, such a condensed thread of time is not something that the 'Red Ancestor' you call can bear, right?"
The thread of time is such a heaven-defying thing, how can the Great Dao allow people to obtain it so easily.
In fact, Luo Hong can do it if he wants to condense this thing, but the price is that the Nascent Soul will be backlashed and eventually disintegrate and die!
"It seems that Taoist friends know a lot about the thread of time. Yes, after the first ten thousand years, Chizu showed some signs of weakness.
But fortunately, my Han family got another insect egg at that time.
After swallowing it, Chizu immediately felt relieved, and his strength also skyrocketed!
So from now on..."
"So from now on, you have been paying attention to the whereabouts of the insect eggs, so that Chizu can live for one more year, right?"
Hearing this, Luo Hong immediately understood the cause and effect of this matter.
"Yes.
However, only when the demon-sucking ant colony reaches a large scale will they act unscrupulously. Before that, they will remain silent underground and are extremely difficult to find!
Therefore, for countless years, my Han family has not obtained a few insect eggs, and Chizu no longer spins out the thread of time every thousand years!"
Although Xuetian Yuanying nodded in agreement at this moment, there was a strange color flashing in his eyes.
After all, Chizu's actual situation was much more serious than what he said.
Basically, as long as he fails to bring back a single insect egg this time, the insect will surely die within a thousand years!
But now he still has to rely on Chizu to get a chance of survival from Luo Hong, so it is natural to hide it like this.
"Hey, if this insect is in good condition, even if he suffers the pain of refining his soul, fellow Taoist will keep this secret."
Luo Hong was very sober at the moment. He did not expect to obtain the thread of time through this method, and he was not very afraid of the great catastrophe in the spiritual world.
Even delaying the arrival of the great catastrophe is a bad thing for him.
However, if he gets that Chizu, his "Insect Mother Two and Five Sons" plan will undoubtedly make great progress!
"Han Mou has said everything that needs to be said, and please fulfill your promise and let my son go!"
Xuetian Nascent Soul immediately looked at Luo Hongdao anxiously.
"Not yet, Luo has important things to do when he comes here!"
Luo Hong shook his head and said.
"Then can Han be allowed to see him?"
When Xue Tian Yuanying heard this, his heart trembled.
"Forget it, Luo will let you feel at ease."
As he spoke, two clouds of black mist flew around Luo Hong, and immediately surrounded him from top to bottom.
The next moment, the black mist dissipated, and he carried the Lost Sky Bell Spirit to the Netherworld Cave.
But as soon as he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was immediately stunned on the spot!
In the great formation, a white-haired figure was seen sitting cross-legged, black demonic energy continuously pouring out from his body and pouring into the formation patterns on the ground.
"Damn it, who are you, how dare you take away my body!"
Xuetian Yuanying recognized the figure at a glance as his own body, and immediately stared angrily.
"Uh... Fellow Taoist Yuan Cha, this body is not for you. You are too decisive in your actions."
Luo Hong was speechless at this time. Who else could seize Xue Tian's body here except Yuan Cha.
He is also a good guy. This woman is really born with no scruples, and she has taken the man's body directly. How hungry is she!
"Hmph! I've been raising evil spirits here for you for so many years, and I'm not even willing to part with a physical body?!"
Yuan Cha was so smart that he was misled by his cleverness. He had been tricked for so many years, so he was full of anger.
Even if it was Luo Hong, she didn't show mercy at all.
It's just that this feminine voice, coupled with her current handsome face, really makes people feel a little strange.
"Of course Luo will not be reluctant to part with you."
Luo Hong thought to herself that it was not his own body anyway, so there was nothing he could not bear to part with.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, do you just want to let this matter go?"
Xuetian Yuanying has long forgotten the original intention of coming here, and now he just wants to talk about it.
"Uh... Now that this has happened, it can't be undone. Fellow Taoist Xuetian, it's better to look away."
Luo Hong was too lazy to deal with this matter, it was just a matter of taking another place.
"Nephew Hanxian, you have seen it, so please stay in this cave for now.
In the future, when Luo goes to your Snow Demon Realm, he will exchange you and the Han family for Chizu."
After all, Luo Hong didn't care what Xuetian Nascent Soul thought, so he moved it under the eyes of the sea of blood.
"If he can leave, will I have the chance to leave this place?"
After finally meeting Luo Hong, Yuan Sha immediately asked him what he wanted to do with her.
If there is no hope at all, why should she continue to make wedding dresses for others!
"Fellow Taoist Yuan Cha, although you and I have differences in the human world, you have no merit but hard work this time.
As soon as the Liuji matter is over, Luo will let you go.
But at that time, if fellow Taoist Baohua doesn’t want to let you go, it won’t be regarded as Luo breaking his promise.”
Luo Hong would not give up an almost completed True Spirit Bone just because of old grudges.
"Within a hundred years, this true spirit snake bone will be completely destroyed. Will you still suppress me here in the future?"
Yuan Cha immediately frowned and asked.
"Haha, a hundred years? It won't last that long."
After saying this with a slight smile, Luo Hong stopped lingering and left the Netherworld Cave in a flash.
"He's already planning to take action. I can't see through his aura anymore. Sister Liuji, you have to be more careful!"
Although he was extremely worried in his heart, Yuan Cha had no choice but to sigh and continue to practice his kung fu with his eyes closed.
...
At the same time, on a certain large river in the underground demon world, three figures were sitting on the top of a building boat admiring the river view.
Although the people below were quite noisy, no one dared to climb up here.
"Brother Long, thank you for leaving a backup force here. Otherwise, when the two families are at war, it would be really troublesome for us to cross the river!"
One of them raised his head, and a puppet's face was revealed under the black robe.
"Long just did it casually and placed a ban on the devil's spirit.
Now that I happen to be using it, I can only say that I’m lucky.”
Although the person opposite the puppet man looked like a demon monk, his voice was the same as that of the ancestor of the Long family.
There is no doubt that these three people are the ancestors of the Long family who returned to the spirit world together.
In order to deceive others, the man surnamed Lin, who was left with only Nascent Soul, temporarily replaced his physical body with a puppet.
"I don't know where Senior Luo is at this time. He has just advanced to Mahayana. He really shouldn't have too much contact with a being like Yuan Mo!"
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Elder Hui couldn't help but shook his head and said worriedly.
"Senior Luo has his own discretion on this matter. Brother Hui, it's better not to discuss it."
The puppet man was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately reminded him.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is overly worried. Elder Hui said this out of good intentions.
Rather than dwell on this, let's discuss whether we should change course.
After all, this is the second time we have discovered that someone has inquired about our whereabouts."
The ancestors of the Long family had made peace with each other, and then they changed the subject.
"Since someone is targeting us, we have to change the route. What else is there to consider?"
Elder Hui said immediately.
"Lin doesn't think it's necessary.
Judging from the clues found in these two times, the group of demon cultivators came all the way from Huanye City.
If we were to meet him, we would have encountered him before we even reached the entrance of Tiesha Ridge!
Although we don't know what happened, it is obvious that we have missed them.
So now we are taking an unfamiliar route. After wasting time, they are more likely to turn around and catch up!"
The puppet man immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Well, what Fellow Daoist Lin said is quite reasonable, but..."
"If you don't agree, you disagree. You human monks are always so hypocritical."
As soon as the ancestor of the Long family said the word "dan", a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"who?!"
The three of them were shocked when they heard the words. They all stepped back to the edge of the platform, and then looked towards the source of the sound.
They saw a strange horse-faced man standing with his hands behind his back at the round table where they were sitting, looking at them with a cold smile.
"You are the Demon Lord who was at the Zhao family's stronghold that day! Didn't you already die at the hands of fellow Daoist Han?!"
As soon as he saw the face of the visitor clearly, Elder Hui was shocked and said.
"Demon Lord? Jie Jie, it seems that you are not only hypocritical, but also pitifully stupid!"
The horse-faced weirdo seemed to have heard some joke at this moment, laughing and mocking the three of them.
"Huang Quan, why are you talking nonsense to them?
If you don’t want to suffer the pain of searching for souls, please quickly tell us the whereabouts of the other three!”
The next moment, another deep voice sounded behind the three people.
They turned around and saw that a big man with a knife was flying in the air, and he and the horse-faced weirdo were surrounding them one after another!
"Damn it, this is the aura of the Saint Ancestor. They are Huangquan and Minghun Saint Ancestor!"
Sensing the aura of the big man and combining it with what he said, the ancestor of the Long family immediately realized what kind of crisis he and others were in, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Immediately, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, cupped his hands towards the two of them and said:
"Two seniors, I and the other three have parted ways long ago, but their whereabouts are currently unknown."
"Hmph, you think we just found you?
To tell you the truth, as soon as you entered the underground, Brother Minghun and I were observing you secretly.
All your words and deeds during this period have not escaped the eyes of me and Brother Minghun!"
Saint Ancestor Huang Quan narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
Even so, he actually didn't tell the truth at the moment.
The reason why he and the Holy Ancestor of the Ghost Soul secretly observed for so long was not to detect information at all, but because they also believed that the three ancestors of the Long family were likely to have Mahayana cultivation!
After discovering the truth, there is no need to mention the shame and anger of the two demons.
However, since the main target Luo Hong was not there, they still were not in a hurry to take action, but they no longer monitored it personally, but instead used magical magic treasures.
And now they appeared because they heard the word "Yuan Mo" from the conversation between the three of them.
Just like they don't want Liuji to be involved in this matter, Yuan Mo is also someone they don't want to see!
On the other side, the three ancestors of the Long family broke into cold sweats when they heard this, and felt despair in their hearts.
After looking at each other in unison, the three of them set up their escape lights at the same time and fled at full speed in three different directions!
As soon as they flew a hundred feet, the three of them used some deceptive means at the same time, either dividing their own escaping light into dozens of rays, or directly turning into a flock of flying birds and scattering away!
"Brother Minghun, should you take action, or should I?"
When Saint Ancestor Huangquan saw this, he didn't feel any urgency. Instead, he asked leisurely.
"These people have wasted so much of my time, I will personally make them suffer today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Saint Ancestor turned into a green rainbow light and chased after the Long family ancestor who was the fastest to escape.
Not long after, a golden spiritual light burst out from the sky, but in the next moment, it was suppressed by a green magic light that covered the sky!
