Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Broken Moon Flowing Frost moved forward in the air, its speed slightly faster than the Flower Bud Boat.

Xu Zhangqing and the others sat on cushions, waiting to return to the immortal sect.

Just then, his Lightly Vitality Gourd suddenly emitted a slight vibration; he took it out to look, and it was not someone else's communication talisman, but his own.

This thing was rarely given to others, and only a few friends possessed one.

And now, among the people he knew, apart from Han Xin, Zhu Fuxian, Zhang Su, Rong Yan, and a few others, almost everyone was sitting on this ship.

Therefore, who wanted to contact him at this time went without saying.

Sure enough, Xuan Zhu's charming voice came from the other side.

"Hello?"

"Xu Langjun~"

"Did your Father Emperor agree?"

"Father Emperor wants to see you; when are you free?"

"Sorry, I have already left Xuanxin City and am on my way back to the immortal sect; this matter will probably have to wait until next time I come to Xuanxin City to arrange."

"Okay, I will... wait for you!"

Xu Zhangqing ended the communication and put the communication talisman away again.

From Xuan Zhu's tone just now, one could tell that this matter was as good as done.

It was just very unfortunate that he could not stay in Xuanxin City for a long time, after all, there was still a pile of matters to handle on the immortal sect's side.

First, the third-quarter planting at the Spirit Field Periphery had begun, requiring inspection, supervision, and teaching.

Second, the Gui Xu Secret Realm was about to open, which counted as a major event, and preparations had to be made in advance.

Buzz!

Buzz buzz!

Suddenly, vibrations came from the surrounding air, as if swarms of bees were flapping their wings.

At first, no one paid attention; although few things happened in the air, that did not mean there were none.

However, as the noise became more obvious, they could clearly feel that they were rapidly approaching this way.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow, immediately stood up from the cushion, and then released his divine sense.

At first, he saw nothing and could not scan anything at all.

But not long after, without even needing to scan with his divine sense, he could already see countless insects with his naked eyes, swarming toward Broken Moon Flowing Frost.

At this time, Chu Qiu finally reacted and asked with a doubtful and uncertain tone: "What's going on?"

"Bees?"

"No, it seems to be another kind of insect?"

"How strange, how could there be such a thing in the sky?"

Although they were not moving in the air for the first time, they had never encountered such a situation before.

You see, Broken Moon Flowing Frost, as a higher-grade travel tool, although its speed in water was the fastest, its speed in the air also far surpassed ordinary flying magic tools.

Not to mention insect swarms, even ordinary flocks of birds could not catch up.

But now, these strange-looking insects not only caught up, but also showed a tendency to surround them.

What did this indicate?

It indicated that their speed was faster than Broken Moon Flowing Frost!

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes to observe carefully, constantly thinking about related information in his mind.

The Ten Thousand Insects Secret Record not only taught how to catch insects, tame insects, cultivate insects, and evolve insects, but also detailed almost all insect types currently visible.

These insects before their eyes were about five cun long, shaped like enlarged rhinoceros beetles, but with two pairs of wide elytra.

The outer elytra were dark brown, covered with raised ridge patterns.

The inner layer was translucent membranous wings; when spread, they were nearly twice as wide as the insect's body, flapping at an extremely high frequency, producing a sharp sound of tearing through the air during flight.

At the exact center of the head grew a short, thick, spiral-shaped unicorn horn; the horn tip glowed with cold gold color, and at the base was a circle of pale red patterns.

The compound eyes were dark red, with pupils vertically long like slits.

The mouthparts were pincer-like large mandibles, with serrated edges.

At the end of the abdomen was hidden a sharp, thin yellow-black tail sting; the sting was covered with fine pores, faintly oozing pale yellow poison.

Their speed far surpassed ordinary flying insects, and they could even nimbly weave through high-altitude cloud layers.

Especially in terms of number, there were at least several dozen; gathered together, they resembled a small patch of dark clouds.

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, this is the Unicorn Flying Insect."

It was a relatively rare flying insect that moved extremely fast in the air.

Their lethality was enormous; once surrounded by a swarm, even a Single Spirit Root Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could not endure it.

Generally speaking, Unicorn Flying Insects would not appear at such a high altitude, nor would they deliberately approach Broken Moon Flowing Frost.

Such behavior indicated it was the will of the Spirit Insect Mother.

In short, these insects were very strange and had to be guarded against for the moment.

"Unicorn Flying Insect?"

Upon hearing this name, the people around looked bewildered.

Even Chu Qiu and Hu Bugui of Ling Beast Valley were hearing of this for the first time.

After all, Spirit Insect Cultivators were a minority among minorities.

Xu Zhangqing reminded them with a serious expression, "Everyone, sit tight!"

He hesitated not at all, immediately activating Broken Moon Flowing Frost's Special Effect 2.

Whoosh!

The whole ship was instantly covered in a layer of Silver Frost, its speed soaring in an instant.

The Unicorn Flying Insects that had been constantly closing in were thrown off in a flash.

Moreover, to prevent any mishap, Xu Zhangqing did not pause along the way.

Constantly channeling Spiritual Power, Broken Moon Flowing Frost remained in an accelerated state; even as the Immortal Sect appeared before their eyes, he still showed no intention of stopping.

Only upon landing at the Flying Crossing Point of Zhuqi Peak did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Thanks to Water Generates Wood, the two types of Spiritual Power circulated alternately.

Although it had not reached the level of Endless Life, the duration of use was extended.

After landing, Chu Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Xu, why do you know that kind of insect?"

Even disciples of Ling Beast Valley couldn't recognize it, yet a Spirit Farmer named it.

To be honest, I was quite surprised and taken aback.

Xu Zhangqing crushed a Foundation Spirit Pill, recovering Spiritual Power as he replied, "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, actually I am now a Wood Spiritual Root Spirit Insect Cultivator."

"Ah?"

At this, not only Chu Qiu, but even Hu Bugui and the others were stunned.

They did not know about the Sui Mai Disaster, so Xu Zhangqing briefly introduced how he obtained the Sui Mai Worm Mother and how he became a Spirit Insect Cultivator.

After learning the full story, everyone finally understood.

Hu Bugui asked curiously, "Then where are your insects?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the Fangcun Ring: "They're resting; I'll definitely let you see them if I get the chance."

Regarding this, everyone was curious but did not force a demonstration.

Anyway, they would see them sooner or later; there was no need to rush.

Chu Qiu mused, "This should be a chance occurrence, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing thought to himself, "A chance occurrence?"

"Not necessarily!"

When in Xuanxin City, he had felt as if someone was secretly watching him.

As soon as he left the city, he was nearly attacked by a swarm of Unicorn Flying Insects.

Fortunately, Broken Moon Flowing Frost belonged to high-grade Travel Tools and had two Special Effects, one of which could even double speed and defense.

Otherwise, a mishap might truly have occurred.

Even now that he had returned to the Immortal Sect, Xu Zhangqing remained vigilant; his first thought was to immediately go see Zhu Fuxian, also known as Hezhu.

He now seriously suspected that the person secretly watching and controlling the Insect Swarm to attack him was very likely the culprit who almost caused the Sui Mai Disaster, Rong Long!
