Chapter 394: Chapter 394

Lower Star Sea Third Zone

Countless Flying Boats adorned with the flags of Myriad Beasts Sect poured in incessantly; the areas occupied by the Insect Clan were being continuously destroyed.

This time, Myriad Beasts Sect was bent on revenge. They didn’t care about the extent of resource loss on these stars. In just seven short days, more than half of the stars occupied by Belis had been devastated.

Atop the enormous dark-red Insect Nest, Belis watched occasional flashes of light in the pitch-black void and let out a laugh, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, has the Human Clan become furious from embarrassment?"

"Sanchez, do you think these fireworks are pretty?"

Sanchez, his face slick with cold sweat, knelt and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Sanchez will go to provide support immediately."

"No need. Oliver has already died in battle," Belis said, a trace of sorrow on her face.

As her powers grew, Belis’s emotions became richer. The sacrifice of Oliver, a child who had accompanied her for countless years, caused her considerable heartache. He had fallen mercilessly at the feet of the Human Clan.

"It is time for us to leave."

"Your Majesty." Sanchez couldn’t quite believe it.

"Sanchez, there is hope only in living. I have already contacted the main nest of the Star Sea Realm; they have given me a chance for revenge," Belis said flatly.

Yue Jun, leading the team to the star where the Insect Nest had been, asked with an ashen face, "Where are they?"

"Reporting to you, Lord, they seem to have fled. According to the Array Masters’ speculation, the main nest of the Star Sea Realm has taken them away."

"Hmph. Star Sea Realm. Sooner or later, I will avenge Jin Xiao."

Although the Insect Nest was gone, not all members of the Insect Clan had been taken away. The remnants of the Insect Clan in this area were still quite significant.

"Exterminate all these insects! Leave none behind!"

The shattered Insect Nest fell into the Star Sea Realm.

Belis, somewhat disheveled, crawled out of the nest and immediately saw a smiling member of her kind not far away.

Fierce Heavenly Tribulation lightning kept striking Belis. Amidst the thunderbolts, her bizarre face revealed a slight smile as she loudly said, "Sister, I wonder what kind of opportunity our kin has given me?"

Ares said lightly, "Just ahead lies the Heavenly Realm Sect, the gathering place of the Human Clan from the Heavenly Realm."

Belis turned her head towards the cloud-enshrouded mountain peak, a ferocious smile creeping across her face. At last, she could have her revenge.

Dozens of Insect Clan Empresses slowly emerged. The massive Insect Nests continuously spawned myriad insects. Vast seas of insects, led by Insect Generals, kept assaulting the Heavenly Realm Sect.

Chen Jiuge looked at the secret missive sent by Myriad Beasts Sect, a hint of surprise on his face as he muttered, "The Insect Clan attacked the Heavenly Realm Sect? And they scattered the Sect?"

How is that possible? Are the Insect Clan that strong?

The disciple who delivered the secret missive was unknown to Chen Jiuge, and he didn’t know much more. The disciple simply left the missive and departed.

After a moment’s thought, Chen Jiuge went to the administrative hall to find Li Qiwen.

"City Lord, what brings you out today?" Li Qiwen, busy as ever, expressed his surprise upon seeing Chen Jiuge.

"Why shouldn’t I come out? Take a look at this letter," Chen Jiuge retorted, handing over the missive.

After a quick scan, Li Qiwen’s expression gradually turned solemn.

"City Lord, this is trouble indeed."

"Will it affect us?" Chen Jiuge frowned.

"Yes, the Heavenly Realm Sect isn’t far from our Corner Shadow City. Based on my speculation, the Insect Clan must be planning to participate in this grand chaotic battle. This means they are stocking up on resources in advance," Li Qiwen hypothesized.

Thinking of the endless sea of insects, Chen Jiuge felt his trypophobia acting up. After so many years, having to battle these creatures again was indeed hair-raising.

"City Lord, we should start preparing. We ought to set up some traps outside Corner Shadow City, and the external arrays need to be strengthened as well."

"Alright, I’ll leave these tasks to you. I’ll arrange for some scouts to investigate first."

Chen Jiuge dispatched a total of ten exploration teams to investigate the Insect Clan. The leader of one team was Shark Army, a Golden Immortal Realm expert, which highlighted the importance Chen Jiuge placed on the matter.

Standing on ground littered with insect corpses, Shark Army silently lit a cigarette and asked in a hoarse voice, "How many Insect Nests have been detected?"

Besides the leader, the exploration team consisted of cultivators skilled in stealth. While their power was average, their aptitude for concealing their auras and escaping was top-notch.

"That’s just a small portion of the area, isn’t it?" Shark Army remarked, his gaze sweeping over his designated exploration zone. His expression darkened. He had been hoping the City Lord would help him with his revenge later, but now this predicament had arisen. What terrible luck!

A faint sound caught Shark Army’s attention. His eyes, sharp as swords, fixed on a large tree not far away as he commanded, "Who’s there? Come out!"

Lin Mingyue emerged from behind the tree, pale-faced. There was a fist-sized wound on her stomach, bleeding incessantly. The cold aura from the wound prevented it from healing.

"A Human Clan member, from the Heavenly Realm Sect?" Shark Army asked, a hint of surprise in his voice. It was remarkable that someone with only Heavenly Immortal Cultivation had managed to escape, but judging by her appearance, she probably wouldn’t live much longer.

"Sea Tide Sect. Lin Mingyue," Lin Mingyue corrected stubbornly.

"No matter which Sect you’re from, you’re about to die," Shark Army said with pity.

"I have information about the Insect Nests. In exchange, do your best to treat my wounds," Lin Mingyue said quietly.

"How much do you know?"

"I know the locations of all the Insect Nests along this route."

"Deal. But I can’t treat that wound of yours. Follow me."

Seeing Lin Mingyue brought back by Shark Army, Chen Jiuge asked, "What’s the situation?"
