Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Chapter 269: Leaving Behind Jiu Yin 1 (2/2)

“Currently, we are in the heartland of the Black Tiger Gang. It would be best to escape from here as soon as possible. If the enemy discovers you here, it will be difficult to leave.”

A prescient Insect Master advised.

Having battled the Black Tiger Gang multiple times, they knew all too well that although the Black Tiger Gang seemed weak, it was actually far stronger than one might imagine.

“If we’re going to leave, we must first dig up Master He Shan’s ancestral grave! He killed my lifebound insect, and for this, our enmity will reach the skies.”

Elder Jiu Yin had great confidence in his own strength; he believed that leading Insect Masters and guards deep into the territory of the Black Tiger Gang was as easy as entering a land with no one to oppose them. If he wanted to leave, he could do so at any time.

“Rest assured, the Black Tiger Gang’s main forces are all assembled at the border, in a standoff with our forces from the Nine Insect Gang and the Shennong Sect. Their heartland is empty, with no capable masters stationed there. My king insect can sense that He Shan should be within a hundred miles ahead. Let’s go over and check it out. If we get the chance, we can also wreak havoc in the enemy’s heartland.

Then, we’ll be able to coordinate with the main forces and put the enemy in a tough spot, defeating them without a fight,” he said.

Elder Jiu Yin was known to be cruel, cunning, and full of tricks.

Having finally infiltrated the enemy’s heartland, he naturally was not willing to leave so easily.

His subordinates dared not contravene his will and felt that there was some truth to his words, so they complied.

They continued to advance.

Once they entered Jade Stream Town, Elder Jiu Yin immediately ordered his guards and Insect Masters to halt.

“This should be the place. Be careful, everyone. Master He Shan is likely residing in this town.”

Elder Jiu Yin had the king insect scout ahead.

This Taiyin Yaoyao appeared to be a bit larger than the other eight and had an ancient, dark red pattern on its back, resembling complex bloodlines.

“The enemy is attacking!”

“Run for your lives!”

“It’s the Nine Insect Gang’s army! Go report to the officials!”

It was daytime, and such a large group bursting into Jade Stream Town immediately alarmed the residents.

The people scattered and fled, screaming in terror.

“Shut up!”

Elder Jiu Yin, already severely traumatized in spirit and soul and with only one lifebound insect left, was in a very foul mood.

Seeing these subjects of the Black Tiger Gang screaming in terror and scattering, he furrowed his brow and made his move—sending a swarm of poisonous bees towards the fleeing townspeople.

“Alt, ah, ouch…”

Screams of agony echoed one after another, as people, no matter how fast, could not outrun the bees.

If Qin Niu were here, he would immediately recognize these bees, reeking of the stench of corpses, as Corpse Bees.

But these seemed even more formidable than the ordinary Corpse Bees owned by Old Master Huang.

Numbering over a hundred, each bee’s strength was nearly at the level of a bee general, perhaps only slightly weaker.

Such deadly bees posed a threat not only to ordinary people but even real Insect Masters might not be able to withstand them.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people had been stung and fell to the ground in agony.

“Elder Jiu Yin, you impudent dog! Who gave you the audacity to come make trouble in our territory? Today, you shall stay here forever!” Vice City Lord Bai arrived just in time in this critical moment, and seeing the common townsfolk being slaughtered, he was enraged and charged directly at Elder Jiu Yin.

Along the way, various Insect Masters spurred their insects to confront Vice City Lord Bai in an attempt to protect Elder Jiu Yin.

However, an ephemeral layer of invisible armor seemed to exhibit on the surface of Vice City Lord Bai, with a faint fluctuation of energy—it was the Iron Cloth Technique he had cultivated.

Now it seemed that he had either advanced this technique or switched to cultivating a higher-level technique of the same type.

Because the invisible armor was in constant flux, with occasional glimmers of light.

It looked like a glaze of shining armor,

encasing Vice City Lord Bai within.

The insects, even the Grade Six Corpse Bees, were repelled the moment they touched Vice City Lord Bai’s body..
