Chapter 216: You Are Trying to Harm Me!

"Who!?"

"Who has such great audacity?"

"Is it you!?"

Pang Lixing looked at Chu Hairen beside him at the first moment, glared at him, and questioned:

"Why did you kill my Soul-Devouring Insect!!?"

"Are you jealous that I am stronger than you, so you must resort to such base methods?"

The Pang Family is good at raising insects, not just poisonous ones, but also some that can be used as medicine.

It was also by relying on the sale of medicinal insects that the Pang Family accumulated their first pot of gold in the Eastern Wasteland.

The range of insects raised by the Pang Family is very broad, with hundreds or thousands of species, each with different uses.

And the Soul-Devouring Insect controlled by Pang Lixing is an extremely special type among these insects, which can be called the Pang Family's trump card.

The Soul-Devouring Insect has a powerful physical body and an extremely hard shell; the larvae can easily resist sword slashes, and the scales of the adults can withstand the vast majority of physical damage.

First of all, this type of insect itself is extremely difficult to obtain.

In the wild, only one Soul-Devouring Insect is born among millions of insects.

Although artificial cultivation reduces the difficulty to a certain extent, it is equally difficult and requires a long breeding cycle to gather a certain quantity.

The batch of Soul-Devouring Insects in Pang Lixing's hands are the most powerful descendants obtained after generations of continuous adjustment and breeding.

Truly top-grade Soul-Devouring Insects.

Furthermore, Soul-Devouring Insects do not eat normal insect feed; they only eat spiritual materials and minerals that contain spiritual power.

To cultivate Soul-Devouring Insects, one must either spend a large amount of wealth to obtain these spiritual materials, or use another primitive method.

Blood food.

All living beings have souls.

And souls can also serve as spiritual power.

The Human Race is the spirit of all things, and even mortals who cannot cultivate have souls in their bodies that are much stronger than those of ordinary wild beasts.

It is just that due to ethical and moral reasons, the Pang Family has never publicly admitted to using the Human Race as blood food on any occasion.

However, the number of slaves and prisoners the Pang Family buys from outsiders every year is far greater than what they need for the spiritual fields and mines they cultivate.

As for what this implies, those who know, know.

"Chu Hairen!!!"

Pang Lixing's eyes were red, and this was not entirely acting.

He was truly angry.

Even, he was somewhat panicked.

It is true that he is currently in the first tier of heirs for the future Patriarch of the Pang Family, but that does not mean he always will be.

There are also disputes within the Pang Family, and his current status largely comes from this batch of Soul-Devouring Insects in his hands.

Being able to communicate with ten thousand insects at a young age is the foundation of his standing in the Pang Family.

Now, with two-tenths of this batch of insects gone, his strength is directly damaged; although his status in the Pang Family will not plummet, he will definitely lose his core competitiveness.

Competition in large families is just this cruel; they look glorious on the outside, but are all cautious in secret.

Because once you accidentally fall, those who once crawled at your feet will not hesitate to kick you while you are down and beat you severely.

For this trip, he had struggled hard and only secured this spot after games between various parties.

He had wanted to use this opportunity to show his ambition, but he did not expect that before the competition even began, he would suffer such a heavy blow.

How could he not be angry?

"Speak!!!"

Finally, annoyed by the noise, Chu Hairen curled his lips and said:

"What do you want me to say?"

"It wasn't me who made the move, why are you shouting at me?"

Still pretending!

Pang Lixing was furious and questioned loudly:

"Not you? Then who is it!? Among this group of people, besides you Chu Family members, who else could secretly plot against me without a sound?"

The Soul-Devouring Insect has a powerful physical body, but that is not its strongest point.

When facing an enemy, the Soul-Devouring Insect can devour the enemy's soul power and make it its own.

For those Body Cultivators who only specialize in the physical body, this is the most terrifying natural enemy.

And even for cultivators who practice both body and Dharma, this kind of Soul-Devouring Insect is a terrifying strange insect that cannot be easily touched.

Of course, although they are powerful, they are naturally not without weaknesses.

Either they are directly shattered by Dharma Power that exceeds an entire realm, or they are directly crushed by spiritual power that is at least two realms higher.

And Pang Lixing has already stepped into the Earth Realm, so those Soul-Devouring Insects connected to his soul can also be regarded as a whole.

Among everyone present, besides the Chu Family's special cultivation techniques that restrain him, who else could have this strength...

!!!

Could it be!?

"Chu Yiping!? Was it you who made the move?"

Turning his head in disbelief, Pang Lixing looked at the team leader over there whose expression was uncertain.

Chu Yiping: "..."

Looking at the silent Chu Yiping, Pang Lixing seemed to understand.

"Hehe, hahaha!!!"

Laughing twice, Pang Lixing truly understood!

That was it; he was also a member of the Chu Family, and he also wanted to suppress the Pang Family.

Clutching his stomach, he laughed bleakly amidst the ambiguous gazes of the two Chu Family members:

"I understand everything now!"

This Two Domains Conflict is nothing but a conspiracy!

It is a trap set by their Chu Family and the Northern Qian Li Family!

It is all to murder me, a heaven-gifted talent of the Pang Family, to cut off the thousand-autumn great cause of the Pang Family!

How detestable!

To think that I, a heaven-gifted talent of a generation, have actually been framed by villains to such a state!

Heaven envies the talented.

Pang Lixing laughed like a madman, lamenting the fate of his impending fall.

Suddenly, he heard a soft sound of surprise from behind:

"Eh? You understand? What do you understand?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

It was a somewhat unfamiliar, clear, and bright voice, not well-known but seemingly heard just a short while ago.

Frowning and turning his head, Pang Lixing saw that a delicate-looking youth in black robes had appeared behind him at some point, looking at him with a face full of curiosity.

Who?

"Who are you?"

Arrogant and overbearing by nature, and with anger in his heart, Pang Lixing's tone sounded exceptionally unpleasant.

He was still immersed in his own atmosphere and did not want to speak with just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Upon hearing these words, the youth blinked his eyes; he was not angry, but instead smiled kindly.

Heh, truly a servant, without a shred of dignity.

Then, Pang Lixing saw the other party ask him with a face full of sincerity:

"Um, before I introduce myself, let me remind you of something."

"Are you sure you want to talk to me like that?"

What?

Being asked this, Pang Lixing, already furious, felt his anger rise even further.

Truly, when a tiger falls to the flatlands, it is bullied by dogs; when a dragon swims in the shallows, it is teased by shrimp!

What kind of person are you to dare ask me that?

He had to make people understand that even if he was currently suffering persecution, he was not someone that just anyone could trample upon.

"What kind of thi..."

But before Pang Lixing could finish, a nervous voice suddenly rang out like a thunderclap:

"I'm sorry!!!"

Standing far away, Jiang Mingzhi suddenly straightened his back out of reflex, gathered his Qi into his dantian, and shouted with a tense face:

"I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone!"
