Seven years later, in a certain area of the outer star sea, a group of more than a dozen monks with different cultivation levels were flying slowly at low altitude, looking left and right from time to time, as if they were searching for something.
Most of these monks are in the foundation building stage, and only the top three are in the pill forming stage.
One is in the middle stage of pill formation, and two are in the early stage of pill formation.
"Brother Qiu, is that level six monster really nearby? We have been searching in this sea area for several days. The search area has been expanded again and again. Is there any chance that the information is wrong?" A middle-aged monk with a pale golden complexion
, asked with a look of impatience on his face.
The person he was questioning was an old man with a dove face and a stern look beside him.
The old man is the middle-stage alchemy monk with the highest level of cultivation in this group of people.
"Friend Daoist Min, why should you be impatient! The information we got is only a rough location. Even if the error is a few days, it is normal. This is better than us running around in other sea areas. I believe that the guy who gave me the information did not dare to deceive me.
"The old man said calmly with an unchanged expression.
"Has the monster beast left this sea area, or is this not its lair at all?" Another man with a ferocious face also suddenly said.
"No. This is a rare glazed beast. We have just scanned the nearby seabed with our spiritual consciousness. The bottom is full of the three-color algae that this beast loves to eat. Its nest will never be too far away from here."
The dove-faced old man affirmed calmly.
It seemed that the dove-faced old man had a high prestige among the three. After hearing this, the other two stopped saying anything and continued to let go of their consciousness and search around them.
As for the foundation-building monks at the back, most of them were their nephews and disciples, so no one stepped forward to interrupt them casually.
Led by three people, this team of monks searched in this sea area for more than half a day, but unfortunately still found nothing.
At this time, even the dove-faced old man frowned slightly.
"Ahem! We had a good time staying in the abyss. Even if we can't say that we have gained anything every month, it is still possible to get three or four high-level demon pills a year. But now it's better. Since we left there, in the past two years, we have
We only killed two high-level monsters in total. We can't even make a single monster pill with our hands." The pale gold-faced monk surnamed Min complained again, as if he was sulking.
"Okay. Brother Min doesn't know what's going on in the abyss now. Going to the abyss now is not to hunt monsters, but to seek death."
"It's really evil! Although the original abyss is not safe, as long as you are smart and don't wander into the central area, you can still live well. But now it is better. Since the monster riot two years ago, the entire abyss has been completely destroyed.
It has become a restricted area. Almost all the high-level monks who penetrated through it never came back. Just last year, several Nascent Soul stage
The old monsters joined forces and rushed into the central area to find out what was going on. As a result, they encountered monsters of unknown levels, and finally escaped in fear. Even among the four masters, only Nascent Soul was left.
I can survive. It seems that I really can’t stay on Qiyuan Island for long." The vicious man who spoke was a little frightened and said with a slightly pale face.
"What the preacher said makes some sense. Although the monsters in the abyss are quite honest and have never left the abyss, who knows that one day these monsters will become mad and suddenly emerge in a rush. This is not impossible.
.We really have to be on guard!" After hearing this, the dove-faced old man was silent for a moment and said with a stern face.
It seems that the old man also changed his expression when he heard about the abyss monster.
"But now, Xing Gong and the Counter Star Alliance are still fighting fiercely over there. The teleportation array can still be exited but not entered. Even if we want to leave, we can't." The monk surnamed Min smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness on his face.
color.
"Humph! That's not necessarily the case." The ferocious-looking man showed a disapproving look.
"Oh? Could it be that Brother Xuan has another idea?" The monk surnamed Min looked surprised at first, but then he became energetic.
"Hehe! There's no other way. I just heard that someone on Qiyuan Island is selling teleportation talismans at a high price. Although the number is not large, some people have indeed returned to the Inner Star Sea by using it!" The man's voice suddenly lowered.
He came down and said somewhat mysteriously.
"Is there such a thing? Then we..." The monk surnamed Min had a happy face, and when he was about to ask more questions in detail, he was interrupted by a cold snort from the dove-faced old man.
"Two Taoist friends, stop dreaming! Even if you get the teleportation talisman, do you really dare to go back to Tianxing City? The current Inner Star Sea is more dangerous than our Qiyuan Island! If you go back, you will definitely be caught by the two parties and used as a scapegoat. And here
Although the abyss monster doesn’t look quite right,
It's normal, but at least everything is fine outside the abyss. If something really happens, we can just find a desert island to hide for a while. It's better than going back to get involved in some big war." A strange light flashed in the old man's eyes, as if
I already had a good idea about this matter.
After hearing this, the other two looked at each other for a while, feeling that although the old man's method was stupid, it seemed to be really feasible.
Just when these two people wanted to discuss the matter with the old man in detail, suddenly a thick strange roar came from a certain direction, and then bursts of explosions and roars sounded simultaneously from the same direction.
"Glass Beast!"
The monk surnamed Min and the vicious man looked at each other and shouted almost at the same time, with surprise on their faces.
"It is indeed the cry of the Glazed Beast. It seems that someone found it before us. Let's go. Don't expose the traces and act according to the situation." A sharp look flashed on the face of the dove-faced old man, and he said to the two of them coldly.
The other two nodded in understanding, and the three of them immediately turned into Changhong and flew away, but after a flash of light halfway, they disappeared without a trace.
As for the group of foundation-building monks, they immediately started chasing after them with nervous expressions.
After a while, the dove-faced old man and three other monks in the alchemy stage flew silently to the vicinity of a coral island several miles in size.
The roar of the monster beast that shook the sky came from here.
As a result, the situation before them was not beyond their expectations.
A pale white, crystal clear sea beast is trapped in a restricted area of red light on the island.
The body of this demonic beast, which is more than ten feet in size, radiates countless milky-white filaments, desperately cutting through the red glow swarming around it, making it look extremely fierce.
But all this is not what the three of them are most concerned about. Their eyes all fall on another place.
In the sky above the island, a young man wearing a light blue robe stood motionless in mid-air, with his hands behind his back and a carefree look on his face.
"Brother Qiu, this person is only in the early stages of pill formation. Shall we take action?" the fierce-looking monk named Xuan said excitedly, his words full of surprise.
"Don't worry, look around and see if there is anyone else hiding nearby? Don't fall into any trap!" After hearing this, the dove-faced old man had a ferocious look on his face, but he still suppressed the desire to take action and acted cautiously.
sermon.
"Fellow Daoist Min! Brother Qiu's words make sense. A monk in the early stage of pill formation actually dared to trap the Glazed Beast alone. There is something wrong. There must be no mystery in it." The monk surnamed Min seemed to be equally attentive and warned.
.
When the vicious man heard this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly released his consciousness to search nearby, but found nothing at all.
At this time, the young man in blue in the sky also took action.
He raised one hand, and seven rays of green light flew out from his hand. After circling in the air, they merged into a giant blue light sword about ten feet long and fell from the air with a deep sound.
The glazed beast below seemed to know how powerful it was. He opened his mouth and spat out a white crystal ball.
After the crystal ball swelled in the wind, it turned into a size of about ten feet and faced the giant sword in the air without hesitation.
The speed of the falling giant sword did not change, but there was an astonishing thunderous sound.
After a loud bang, it collided with the crystal ball.
But at this moment, the giant sword seemed to blur for a moment.
After a "whoosh" sound, a giant sword that was like no other flew out from the green light, and then disappeared from the place in a flash. The next moment, it suddenly appeared on the head of the glazed beast, silently.
One slash down.
The monster roared at the top of its lungs, and the white hair on its body suddenly shot upwards, trying to catch the blow forcefully and escape.
As a result, with a "plop" sound, the giant sword chopped off the huge head of the glass beast without any hindrance.
Green blood splashed everywhere!
Seeing the scene of the young man exterminating the demon in an instant, the three dove-faced old men were a little shocked.
Is that really the Glazed Beast?
This beast is also famously difficult to deal with among level six monsters.
But now he was killed by this young man with a sword that seemed to kill him instantly.
This is unbelievable! Could it be that the other party is not a monk in the early stage of pill formation, but a monk in the late stage of pill formation?
The three people, including the dove-faced old man, once again used their spiritual consciousness to confirm repeatedly, but the young man in blue who was landing next to the corpse of the monster was indeed in the early stage of pill formation.
But even if the three of them could defeat the sixth-level Glazed Beast together, it was simply impossible to kill it so easily.
Could it be that the young monk pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger has some secret technique to hide his true cultivation?
The three dove-faced old men became suspicious!
"Brother Qiu, do you want to take action? It seems that the opponent is the only one here." The ferocious man's voice sounded a little nervous.
The dove-faced old man stared down, with a trace of doubt on his face, but did not reply immediately.
But when he saw the young man in blue taking out a black bowl and starting to extract the soul of the Glazed Beast, his expression changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"This man is a bit weird, forget it. There is no need to provoke someone who doesn't know the details." Seeing the old man's expression, the monk surnamed Min couldn't help but be startled, but then he frowned slightly and asked tentatively.
Since the three of them can live freely in a place like the Outer Star Sea, they are all extremely cautious people.
The situation in front of him was really indescribably weird. It made the monk named Min want to give up!
"Forget it? Now it's not a matter of whether or not to take action. It's a matter of whether we can leave alive."
The dove-faced old man's eyes flickered for a while, then he smiled bitterly and said something meaningless.
These words made the vicious man and the monk surnamed Min stunned.
The two of them knew the old man's nature well and knew that the other party would never say this without reason, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Didn't you two realize that this man is very similar to a certain demon that has been rumored recently?" The dove-faced old man pursed his lips and whispered bitterly.
"Devil? Does he mean..."
"What, it's that person!"
The two people on the side were startled at first, but then they immediately let out an exclamation!
Their faces were full of horror.
"That should be correct. You see, this man is young, can release multiple flying swords, and the sword light is also cyan. It is very consistent with the rumors!" The dove-faced old man murmured cautiously, as if he was also analyzing it.
Listen to it yourself.
"But isn't that man famous for driving away many flying insects? This person here has never used insect repelling techniques from beginning to end. Can't it be a coincidence?" The vicious man's face turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly.
, it seems that the person mentioned by the dove-faced old man is an extremely terrifying existence.
"Brother Qiu must be right. The devil usually shows his cultivation level in the early stage of pill formation, and he also likes to extract the souls of monsters. As for not releasing flying insects just now, he probably thinks it is unnecessary!" Min surnamed
The monk's light-gold face was turning a little blue, and his spoken words were automatically a bit softer.
"So, the guy in front of us could really be the 'Insect Demon' in the rumors? Then why don't we leave quickly? If we are hit by this demon, we won't even be able to survive." The big man showed a panicked look.
"Don't panic. If this is really the devil, he was focusing on the Glazed Beast when he came just now. That's why he didn't find us. Now that he has destroyed the monster, if he acts rashly, he may be exposed.
Whereabouts." The dove-faced old man could still maintain some composure and said calmly.
After hearing this, the other two people looked at each other and felt that it made sense, and immediately did not dare to act rashly.
But after the big man surnamed Xuan stared at the young man doing the soul extraction in the distance for a moment, he suddenly remembered something and whispered suspiciously:
"I heard that this insect demon had a conflict with a group of monks four years ago because of a seventh-level monster. He single-handedly killed seven or eight monks in the alchemy stage. Only one monk in the late stage of alchemy was killed.
I was spared. Are all these rumors true?"
"It should be true! The monk who escaped with his life was a master of the Biyun Sect. All those who were destroyed were all his fellow sects. In this battle, the Biyun Sect, known as the five major forces on Qiyuan Island, suffered a sudden loss
Nearly one-third of the manpower was suddenly greatly reduced in strength. The supreme elder of the Biyun Sect, 'Miaohe Zhenren', was so angry that he went out to sea alone several times to search for this insect demon, but all results were lost.
Returned in vain. In fact, many people speculated that even if Master Miaohe really found this insect demon, he might not be able to do anything to him. After all, since the other party has this ability, he is probably the newly emerged Nascent Soul.
I'm a first-year master. I heard that other forces on Qiyuan Island are also paying attention to this insect demon, and they seem to want to win over him." The monk surnamed Min swallowed a few times and explained in a low voice.
"Nascent Soul stage? This is not necessarily the case. I have heard another saying. It is said that the insect demon's own cultivation level is nothing at all. He is so powerful only because of the batch of strange insects he possesses. It is said that in the battle that day,
He didn't use any other magic weapons at all, he just released countless flying insects and swallowed up many monks in the alchemy stage alive without moving a little finger. That's why he was named the insect demon." The dove-faced old man was silent.
After a while, he shook his head and said in disapproval.
"But Brother Qiu also saw it just now. The man in front of him did not use flying insects at all, and killed the glazed beast with one sword. Even the monks in the late stage of pill formation may not be able to do this. The opponent is clearly Nascent Soul
I'm pretending to be Mr. Qi." The monk surnamed Min still insisted on his opinion.
The dove-faced old man showed disapproval and was about to say something when the vicious man on the side interrupted helplessly.
"Two fellow Taoists, it makes no difference to us whether this insect demon is a monk at the Nascent Soul stage or not. It is true that the other party can kill us without any effort. I am worried about the other party's reputation. I heard that Fan and this
Almost all the monks encountered by the insect demon were fed insects by it. The number of monks who have been poisoned by it one after another is no less than a hundred. In the past two years, everyone's talk about this demon has changed."
When the monk surnamed Min heard what the evil man said, his expression became even more ugly. He looked at the young man in blue below, took a long breath and said:
"The insect demon is ruthless and murderous. This should be true. In recent years, many monks have been killed to steal treasures, but some people have pointed out that it was this demon who did it! Fortunately for us, we took the initiative
I sent it to this person’s door.” This person’s words were already full of regret!
When the dove-faced old man heard this, his face was equally ugly, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
He was also extremely afraid of the evil reputation of this insect demon.
Below, the dove-faced old man and the other three people no longer had the intention to speak. They all stared at the young man's every move. They just hoped that the other party would finish taking care of the monster and leave quickly.
At this time, the young man in blue had extracted the spirit of the glazed beast and put it into the black bowl. He also dug out a white inner elixir from the corpse of the monster and put it into the storage bag on his waist.
.
Now, the young man suddenly raised his head and looked around.
Seeing this, the three people nearby held their breaths in unison, and their hidden figures did not dare to move rashly.
But it backfired!
When the young man's eyes glanced at the three people hiding in the air, he suddenly stopped. A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly.
"Three fellow Taoists have been watching for so long. Have you seen enough? Can you show up and talk about it?"
After hearing this, the three dove-faced old men felt chills all over their bodies almost at the same time!
"Run!" I don't know who among the three shouted so loudly.
The three people immediately turned into three rainbows and ran away in three directions without saying a word.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" The young man in blue frowned slightly and murmured to himself, while a trace of suspicion flashed across his face.
But then the young man's face darkened, and with a wave of his hands, three spirit beast bags were sacrificed into the air one after another, and the three-colored beetles all over the sky surged out.
This young man in blue is Bai Ran who just returned from the deep sea!
The three dove-faced old men who secretly glanced back, saw this scene, their expressions suddenly changed, and they escaped three minutes faster without realizing it.
But at this moment, a soft groan came from the young man's mouth.
At this sound, the three-color beetles all over the sky gathered in the air, and instantly condensed into three giant spears about ten feet long. The screams were loud, and the giant spears turned into a three-color rainbow of light, which flashed away.
They shot away in separate parts, and the escape of light was extremely fast.
The sound of "chichi" pierced through the air was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the giant spears were chasing the dove-faced old man and the three disappeared.
Bai Ran stood there without any intention of chasing after him. Instead, he leisurely cut off the crystal skin of the glazed beast with a ray of blue light.
The skin of the glazed beast was an excellent material for refining armor. Bai Ran naturally refused to give it up.
After turning the remaining body of the Glazed Beast into ashes, Bai Ran turned around and collected the nearby formation equipment and the neon grass on the coral island.
Just after finishing all this, in the distant sky, brilliance flashed in three directions one after another.
When they got a little closer, they could see clearly that the three dove-faced old men were flying back in the escaping light. Looking at their direction, it was exactly where Bai Ran was standing.
The three of them all had gray faces and a three-color collar on their necks, looking dejected and resigned to their fate.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ran touched his chin and smiled coldly in his heart.
Seeing the three people landing in front of him, Bai Ran smiled and asked an unusually kind question.
"Can you three fellow Taoists tell me why Bai ran away in such a panic when I saw him? Don't you know me?" Upon hearing Bai Ran's words, the dove-faced old man and the other three couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
Astonished.
What is the purpose of this insect demon's question? Is it necessary to play a trick before killing them?
"Fellow Taoist wants to take our lives, so just do it. Why would you say such words?" The vicious man suddenly became worried and said fiercely without caring about anything...
"This is strange. Is there anything wrong with the question I just asked?" Bai Ran's face darkened, and he became cold in vain.
"We brothers really didn't know that our seniors were hunting monsters here. Otherwise, we would never have disturbed our senior insect demons. The next few people just accidentally broke into this place, and they don't have the slightest intention of malice. We hope that our seniors will show mercy." Monk surnamed Min.
But Bai Ran seemed to see some vitality in Bai Ran's actions. After a trace of color returned to his face, he began to beg hard.
"Insect Demon! Are you talking about me?" Bai Ran frowned slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed across his face.
"Your Excellency, you are not a senior insect demon?" The dove-faced old man who had originally resigned himself to his fate couldn't help but murmured when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that the three fellow Taoists have misunderstood something." Bai Ran chuckled. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and shot three cyan spells onto the collars around the necks of the three of them.
Suddenly, the three-color collar disintegrated with a low roar and turned into countless beetles again, swarming back into the spirit beast bag on Bai Ran's waist.
Seeing this scene, the three dove-faced old men who had narrowly escaped death were surprised and happy.
Although they are still extremely confused in their hearts, most of them now believe that they may have recognized the wrong person.
Otherwise, given the reputation of that insect demon, he would not be making such mysteries.
However, after seeing Bai Ran's amazing methods, they were still respectful and did not dare to make any rash move.
"Haha! It seems that we have really misunderstood fellow Taoist. With the temperament of that insect demon, he will never let us go as easily as fellow Taoist. Don't you know your surname?" The dove-faced old man said with a smile on his face.
He smiled and asked quickly with a smile.
He knew very well that even if the person in front of him was not the insect demon, his methods were not any worse than the real one, and it was just as easy to kill them, so naturally he did not dare to show any slights.
After hearing this, Bai Ran smiled slightly, and when he was about to say something, he looked into the air with a soft "eh" sound.
"Do the three of you have any companions? They seem to have arrived." Bai Ran looked at the sky and said slowly.
The dove-faced old man was startled, but then he raised his head and looked in the same direction as if he remembered something, but the place he saw was empty, with no human beings at all, and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of confusion.
"My brothers did bring some disciples' nephews with us, so they should be here too!" Feeling a little doubtful, the dove-faced old man replied honestly.
But just as he finished speaking, a small string of light spots appeared in the sky and came from the outside. It was the lagging foundation-building monks.
They were much slower than the three dove-faced old men, and they had just flown here with their weapons.
When the dove-faced old man saw this scene, his expression changed slightly.
This shows that the other party's spiritual consciousness is far superior to his, and the fear of Bai Ran has increased by another factor in his heart.
"Bai doesn't like liveliness by nature. Three Taoist friends arranged for these disciples. I will wait for you fellow Taoists on the other side of the island. Bai still has some questions that he would like to ask the three of them. I hope they will not leave without saying goodbye."
Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the three of them, and suddenly said something profound. Then he smiled slightly and turned into a blue rainbow and flew to the other side of the island.
The three dove-faced old men breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know whether the young man is really an insect demon, it seems that there is no murderous intention towards the three of them, and their lives are saved for the time being.
So under the solemn whispers of the dove-faced old man, the monk surnamed Min nodded slightly and immediately flew into the sky to meet the group of foundation-building monks.
As soon as he flew to the group of disciples, he said something coldly. The monks immediately followed him and slowly landed on the edge of the island, and did not meet up with the old man with a dove face.
At this time, the monk surnamed Min flew back to the old man with a heavy heart.
"Brother Qiu, do you really want to go there?" The ferocious man asked in a low voice as soon as the monk surnamed Min came over.
"Fellow preacher, don't think about any random thoughts. It's not like you haven't seen the other party's methods just now. Do you really think we can escape now? Whatever the other party asks then, answer honestly. Don't offend me.
The other party! Just treat the other party like an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage. With his magical powers, he should not bother to kill us." The dove-faced old man's expression changed and he warned with extreme caution.
"Brother Qiu is right. I don't think this person is a vicious person. It's better not to act rashly!" The monk surnamed Min also nodded in agreement.
Although the vicious man didn't quite agree with it in his heart, seeing that both of them said this, he had no choice but to put away his little thoughts.
Then, the three of them flew obediently to the other end of the coral island.
Bai Ran was sitting cross-legged on a flat coral reef, waiting leisurely for the three of them.
"Fellow Taoists, let's sit cross-legged and talk! Let me explain to you what happened in the waters of Qiyuan Island recently. On his way back from the deep sea, Bai met several waves of monks one after another. I remember that before
It is rare for monks to come to this sea area. Aren't they all hunting monsters in the abyss? Of course, I would like to know more about the insect demon in detail." Bai Ran waved to the three of them casually, his expression as usual.
said.
Faced with Bai Ran's impassive expression, the three dove-faced old men became more and more uneasy. After responding respectfully, they cautiously sat nearby.
"Fellow Taoist, I haven't been to Qiyuan Island for two or three years. The abyss has long been a restricted area for us monks. Nowadays, let alone hunting monsters there, even when someone talks about the abyss, almost everyone changes their expressions.
"The dove-faced old man smiled bitterly and said slowly.
"Oh? Fellow Taoist, please elaborate." Bai Ran said softly without showing anything strange on his face.
"This matter is a long story. It starts from the monster madness two years ago..." Seeing Bai Ran listening attentively, the dove-faced old man felt a little relieved. After thinking about it for a while,
He truthfully recounted the sudden change in the abyss that year and the subsequent events in which the Nascent Soul stage monks returned in vain.
Bai Ran sat there and listened quietly. After he finished telling what happened, he frowned inadvertently and said to himself leisurely:
"According to this, the rampage of the abyssal sea monsters back then killed and injured many high-level monks. Even the Nascent Soul stage monks were unable to gain a foothold. No wonder there were so many monks in other sea areas!".
On the surface, Bai Ran was not moved by the dove-faced old man's narrative at all, but in his heart he was actually quite shocked.
The monsters in the abyss became violent! Several Nascent Soul stage monks even broke into it and fled.
No matter how he listened, he felt something bad was coming from it!
Is there going to be chaos in the outer sea of stars?
"Now, let's talk about that 'insect demon'. When the three of them saw it, they thought he was some kind of insect demon. Could it be that Bai really looks a lot like him?" Bai Ran paused for a moment, then became quite interested.
asked again.
These words made the three people on the opposite side look at each other and couldn't help exchanging glances.
"How should I put it? At first glance, fellow Taoist is indeed very similar to the rumored insect demon. He also uses multiple green flying swords, looks young, and seems to only have the cultivation level of the pill formation stage, and can drive thousands of people
Flying insects..." The monk named Min coughed dryly and said.
But every time he spoke, his voice seemed to get lower.
Because no matter how you look at it, the young man in front of you is very consistent with the rumored insect demon.
The monk surnamed Min couldn't help but feel guilty!
"Eh! It sounds like I'm talking about you. Fellow Taoist, please be more detailed! What has that insect demon done? He seems to be quite famous." A trace of strangeness flashed across Bai Ran's face.
Se, asked very calmly.
"There are many things related to the Insect Demon. But the most famous thing is that four years ago, the Insect Demon used the power of one person to drive a group of insects to kill seven or eight monks in the Alchemy Stage. This was also the battle that made this person famous.
." The monk surnamed Min preached carefully.
After hearing this, Bai Ran didn't show any signs of strangeness on his face, but his heart felt "thumped".
"Originally, this insect demon disappeared after this battle. But more than a year later, in the sea near Qiyuan Island, monks were frequently killed and treasures were taken away. According to the testimony of survivors,
, it was the insect demon who also drove flying insects all over the sky to easily devour his opponents.
.And this kind of thing happens almost every one or two months. According to rumors, as many as a hundred monks have died at the hands of this insect demon. The reputation of the insect demon can be regarded as terrible."
After saying these words in one breath, the monk surnamed Min had a nervous look on his face, showing a bit of uneasiness.
Not only the monk surnamed Min, but also the dove-faced old man and the evil man surnamed Xuan also had their hearts in their throats, wondering if what they just said would offend the young man in front of them.
The other party might be the insect demon himself!
"Interesting. It seems that this insect demon has quite a bad reputation. I wonder if any of you fellow Taoists know what this insect demon looks like. Does it drive the same flying insects as below?" Bai Ran not only had no intention of getting angry, but instead spoke lightly.
Laughed.
"What does it look like? I haven't heard anyone say this in detail. It seems to have a very ordinary appearance. As for the flying insects it drives, it seems to be a gold and silver flying insect? Hey, fellow Taoist is a three-color beetle. It seems that the senior
Is he really not that demon?" The monk surnamed Min was still hesitant at first, but then he realized the difference between the other party and the insect demon, and couldn't help shouting in surprise.
The dove-faced old man and the evil man also woke up and remembered this matter at the same time, and they also became energetic.
If the opponent is not an insect demon, their lives will be more secure.
"Thank you three Taoist friends for telling the truth. I still have something to do, so I won't leave you here. However, I hope that the three of you will tell others about my encounter today. Bai doesn't want to be misidentified.
What kind of insect demon is being hunted down? I believe fellow Taoists can understand!"
Bai Ran looked up at the sky, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he lowered his head and said something that made the three dove-faced old men feel ecstatic.
"Of course. The lower class people must keep their mouths shut. They will never bring trouble to fellow Taoists. Then my brothers and I will take the first step." The dove-faced old man suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried with some anticipation.
asked.
Bai Ran smiled indifferently and nodded, and the three people opposite him immediately gave Bai Ran a secretly happy salute, then hurriedly stood up and flew away.
After a while, at the other end of the island, the three dove-faced old men and the group of disciples flew out of the island eagerly and galloped towards the sky in the distance.
Bai Ran stood up at some point and stared at the scene without moving. It wasn't until the lights of these people disappeared that his face suddenly turned gloomy.
Although it was easy to take the lives of these monks just now, Bai Ran had no intention of taking action.
He is not a murderous person!
Besides, it doesn't matter whether his whereabouts here are revealed.
Because the sea area here is completely opposite from his cave. If he met these three people in the sea area of the foggy island, he would never let this group of people survive.
Moreover, he had already planned to return to his home for retreat immediately. He would not leave the cave again for at least twenty or thirty years.
Let those who want to cause trouble for him slowly consume him in the outer star sea!
But "Insect Demon", this really gave him an evil enough moniker.
But apart from the group of Biyun Sect monks he had used to destroy with gold-eating insects when he was forced to do so, when had he ever done anything to kill people and seize treasures?
It was clear that someone was framing him!
This made Bai Ran feel extremely stuffy, even though he wasn't going to be filled with smoke.
Thinking about his enemies in the outer star sea, it seems that the only one he has is the Biyun Sect.
Back then, in view of the danger of high-level monsters, Bai Ran did not go too deep into the deep sea area of the alien sea. He only used neon grass to lure monsters to get pills in some peripheral places.
One time, he had just trapped a seventh-level monster, and happened to meet a group of seven or eight high-level monks in the alchemy stage. The opponent was arrogant and called himself a monk of the Biyun Sect, and he was so greedy that he wanted to kill someone.
Grab the treasure.
Bai Ran had no choice but to release a swarm of more than 100,000 gold-eating insects to destroy the enemy.
According to his idea, since he has taken action, it is best to kill him and silence him.
But what I didn't expect was that although most of the monks were wiped out, one of them, the late-stage pill-forming monk, possessed a powerful ancient treasure to protect himself. As a result, he broke through the swarm of gold-eating insects when he was not prepared.
Fortunately he escaped with his life.
Of course Bai Ran knew that the so-called Biyun Sect was one of the major forces on Qiyuan Island.
In desperation, he had no choice but to venture into the deep sea to avoid this new formidable enemy.
Speaking of which, he was lucky. During the years of wandering in the deep sea, he did not encounter a single monster above level eight.
The most dangerous time was when several level seven monsters were attracted to him.
Although it kept him busy for a while, after the gold-eating insects and magic weapons came out, he was still able to deal with them safely.
After these years of hunting in the deep sea, he finally saved hundreds of level six and seven demon elixirs, which was more than enough to refine elixirs. He also accumulated a lot of materials for various demon hunts.
As a result, he resolutely returned to the original route.
But when he just returned from the deep sea and passed through the waters here, he accidentally discovered a glazed beast.
Bai Ran naturally had no intention of letting him go, so he set up an array to trap and kill him.
Unexpectedly, three dove-faced old men were attracted, and they even called him the insect demon in great panic.
This naturally made Bai Ran extremely depressed.
Obviously, the most likely possibility is that the Biyun Sect couldn't find him all over the place, and knowing that he knew how to repel insects and use the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, they went around to stir up trouble and fabricate an insect demon.
There is no doubt that the other party not only wants to destroy his reputation and make him homeless in the alien sea, but also wants to lure and force him to show up, and even directly sends people to pretend that he is really killing people and seizing treasures, so as to kill two birds with one stone!
It's a pity that Bai Ran has been in the deep sea area for the past few years, so their efforts have been in vain.
But when it comes to this, Bai Ran is a little confused.
It is not difficult to find a high-level monk who is also proficient in insect repellent. It is even easy to find some flying insects similar to gold-eating insects.
But if someone from the Biyun Sect is really up to something, why are the flying insects used by the person pretending to be him gold and silver, instead of imitating the three-color gold-eating insects he used when he killed the monks from the Biyun Sect. The Danjie period that escaped back
Monk, you can't be wrong about this!
As for those who know the color of his gold-eating insect before it evolved, it should be before he came to the alien sea.
Could it be that...the old monsters from Xutian Palace have tracked this place?
When Bai Ran thought about this carefully, his heart froze and his expression changed drastically!
If this is the case, the situation is really not good.
After silently pondering on the spot for a while, Bai Ran suddenly stamped his feet and flew into the air without any warning.
Then, he turned into a blue rainbow and shot through the sky in the direction of the foggy island.
Bai Ran, who was out of sight, looked normal, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in the corner of his mouth.
He just figured it out.
Regarding the "Insect Demon" matter, whether it's Biyunmen who is up to something or those old monsters trying to force him to show up, there's no need to waste any time thinking about it.
Because the situation in the outer star sea and the incident with the abyss monsters became a little weird. And he originally planned to practice hard for a few years as soon as he returned to the cave.
In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone and avoid this dangerous period of limelight.
And as long as he improves his cultivation, even if he really becomes this notorious insect demon, what will others dare to do to him?
In the world of immortality, only the strong have the right to speak!
With this idea in mind, Bai Ran ran away without any doubts in his heart.
At the same time, in a secret room in Black Rock City on Qiyuan Island, two people were hiding in the dark, talking mysteriously.
"Brother Qi, it's been two or three years now. Your method won't work at all. I can't really spend seven or eight years here just waiting for this kid to take the bait!" A cold voice was full of impatience.
said.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, this matter cannot be rushed. Don't you use your spiritual consciousness to scan every corner of Black Rock City every day? If that kid puts on makeup and enters this city, he will definitely not escape Brother Wu's eyes." The other one was a little hoarse.
The voice said in a deep voice.
The owner of the first voice was surprisingly the Jiyin Patriarch whom I had not seen for many years!
At this time, he still looked like a middle-aged man with a pale face, but his expression was extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes!
"Huh! Wu Mou followed Brother Qi's method and sent several disciples everywhere to pretend to be that boy and kill people and seize treasures, but it had no effect at all. Brother Qi was not deliberately hiding something for other purposes. Wu Mou didn't believe it.
It is so difficult for such a large Biyun Sect to find a monk who is in the early stage of pill formation." Patriarch Jiyin looked displeased.
"Ahem! What Brother Wu said is unjust. It's not been a year or two since Qi and fellow Taoist Wu met. How could I be such a person? Besides, my sect and that boy also have a deep hatred! They have always been together.
I have never relaxed my efforts to track down this person." The owner of the hoarse voice is a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a white crane-patterned robe. His face is white and pockmarked, but there is a layer of warm jade covering it, which makes him look extraordinary!
"However, Fellow Daoist Wu. Qi is very curious! How did that kid offend Fellow Daoist, so much so that Brother Wu took the risk to sneak into Tianxing City and then teleport here. Fellow Daoist has always used the excuse of letting Sun die in the hands of this person.
, I'm being vague. Qi really doesn't believe it." The Taoist priest seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said with a smile.
