Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 276: Chapter 269: Leaving Behind Jiu Yin 1

Despite his youth, Qin Niu already possessed such formidable combat strength, almost single-handedly challenging the twelve major disciples under Elder Jiu Yin and emerging victorious. This was simply defying the heavens.

Such a prodigy, as long as he lived, was destined to become the future star of the Black Tiger Gang.

Accompanied by his subordinates and the Insect Master from the Nine Insect Gang, Elder Jiu Yin quickly set out towards the location of Jade Stream Town, guided by the sensing abilities of the Taiyin Yaoyao’s king insect.

After less than half an hour, he violently spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, his spirit even more wilted.

“Damn He Shan, you’ve killed another one of my life-bound Yaoyao. If 1 don’t desecrate your ancestor’s grave, I’m your grandson.”

Elder Jiu Yin’s hatred for Master He Shan was intense to the extreme.

On his way to Jade Stream Town, Master He Shan sneezed several times, feeling a trace of unease.

He was also somewhat baffled.

Who on earth had cursed him out of the blue?

Qin Niu didn’t care about any of that, he was in the process of executing the captured Taiyin Yaoyao one by one.

There were a total of eight, and it took about half an hour to execute each one.

He treasured the corpses of these Taiyin Yaoyao, planning to feed them to the Termite Queen the next day. Now laying a thousand eggs daily, it required a vast amount of energy, consuming an enormous amount of food.

All eight Taiyin Yaoyao would probably be eaten by it in a day.

Four hours later, it was already dawn outside. Qin Niu had spent the whole night executing the eight Taiyin Yaoyao.

Xiao Qing made a fire for him.

Both master and servant were exhausted.

“Alright, Xiao Qing, go to sleep first!”

Qin Niu urged Xiao Qing to rest, as he himself was also extremely tired.

With the sky already slightly bright outside, there was no chance to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique to recover his spiritual power.

For his cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique required the exposure to moonlight or the shower of rain.

This was unavoidable, as he relied solely on his own exploration to cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique. He had only discovered these two techniques so far.

Finally, after dealing with the most urgent tasks, sorting and tidying the spoils of war could wait until he woke up.

Immediately, he returned to his bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

There was nothing more comfortable and reassuring than sleeping in his own home.

He quickly entered dreamland.

At this moment, Elder Jiu Yin had already tracked down a location more than a hundred miles from Jade Stream Town. As the eighth Taiyin Yaoyao died, and after coughing up a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, he passed out.

Truly, man’s plans can never match up to fate.

Even though he had rushed here with all his might to rescue the Taiyin Yaoyao, due to the long journey, he was a step too late.

As the last Taiyin Yaoyao died, Elder Jiu Yin’s king insect completely lost its connection to them. Consumed by a fury born of desperation, and his spirit subjected to eight continuous severe blows, even someone cast from iron wouldn’t survive.

He eventually passed out.

“Elder, Elder!”

His guards and Insect Masters were thrown into chaos.

After being attended to, Elder Jiu Yin slowly regained consciousness, yet seemed to have aged decades.

“I am filled with hatred! The Taiyin Yaoyao that I’ve painstakingly raised for many years has been destroyed in an instant.”

Elder Jiu Yin clenched his teeth, pounding his chest repeatedly.

The death of his life-bound insects was as painful to him as gouging out his own heart.

“Elder, we can cultivate more insects, but you must take care of your health!”

“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..
