Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 64 – Seeking King

Now, with the swarm of locusts attacking from behind the Western Mountain, there were basically no longer any Tuqiu Village cultivators guarding that place. Once the swarm of locusts rushed into the village, there would be no need for the south of the village to guard that place, and the ones closest to the Western Mountain were actually Yang Junshan and the other youths of the twenty to thirty Tuqiu Village s!

All of the youths present panicked. Yang Junping, who had even forgotten to lead the Hunting Horses, only raised his head and stared blankly at the insect cloud that rose from the mountain top.

At this time, the Xu family’s Ling Tian s’ giant talismans had already used up all their spirit power and became a few tattered pieces of cloth covering the Ling Tian. After a while, they were all ripped to shreds by the giant locust s swarming towards them.

When Xu Jing heard the low buzzing sound from the insect cloud above the western mountain, the last breath of air that everyone was holding up was completely gone. Only the Yang family Ling Tian was still constantly pulling down the giant locushat were flying above the Ling Tian because of the operation of the array.

“Second brother, continue!”

Yang Junshan’s sudden shout roused Yang Junping from his stunned state, and he hastily carried the packhorse beast on his back and continued to roll down the road, crushing the giant locust that was falling out of the water.

At this time, only Yang Junshan could see clearly that the locust swarm that had risen up from the Western Mountain was not giant locust s, but rather the ordinary locusts in the Western Mountain.

However, when the majority of the villagers did not know whether it was true or not, it was very easy for them to panic and panic due to the sudden appearance of this horde of locusts. In fact, when the locusts rose up in the Western Mountain, the people of the southern Tuqiu Village had already discovered it.

As for Yang Tiangang and the other Martial Realm Cultivator, because they were too far away, they were also unable to see that the insect cloud on the western mountain was not a giant locust at all. In fact, even they themselves felt that it was a bit disheartening.

Fortunately, the Tuqiu Village’s Ling Tian harvesting had already started before the giant locust disaster happened. Now, he should be able to preserve forty to fifty percent of the harvest, and not reduce his production by seventy to eighty percent like other villages and towns.

“Qian Hai, come here!”

Yang Junshan shouted for orders: Bao Liang, go and trade Brother Bao Zhang for me. Er Xi, you go and take over Qian Hai’s position!

After allowing a few of his comrades to switch places with each other, Su Baozhang and Yang Junshan finally had time to make room for everyone. Yang Junshan shouted at them: “I’ll hand this formation over to you two first, remember, once the Jade Coins spirit energy on the stone platform runs out, you can exchange it for new ones.

Yang Junping asked loudly: “Brother, where are you going? If you leave, everyone wouldn’t be confident!”

Yang Junshan said, “Remember my words, do not be afraid. In less than an hour, both father and mother will definitely rush over, and once they see this formation, they will understand, and we will be back very soon.”

After Yang Junshan finished speaking, he laughed towards the direction of the formation. The dense locusts around him suddenly dispersed, and Hu Niu followed behind him as they walked into the formation.

After placing Yang Junxin at the center of the formation near the stone platform, was in charge of taking care of her. Yang Junshan brought Hu Niu and the others, who were with the other two Ling Tian, and walked over.

“Have you heard of the Bug King?”

Xu Jing had already opened her spiritual cavities, and it was obvious that her Cang Ear Entrance had some sort of special talent. Even if there was the sound of the locust wings flapping, Yang Junshan could hear them, and would have to shout if she was talking to Xu Lei and Zhang Huzi.

The three of them obviously did not know that there was still the insect king among the locusts, so the insect king’s title was not very prepared. Its accurate identity should be a locust, which meant that it should be a demonic giant locust, because it had intelligence that could make sucuge swarm of locusts its use.

Previously, he had used the giant locuso bring the common flying locusts to the southern defense of the village, and then ordered the locusts to rush to the southwest where they were weaker, and then sneaked into the Western Mountain to chase the common flying locusts to attack the village from both sides, causing the morale of the Tuqiu Village to crumble. From Yang Junshan’s point of view, the locusts were controlling everything from behind.

Of course, Yang Junshan knew that as long as he killed the gigantic demon locust that was hidden, he would be able to cause chaos among the giant locust and cause the entire horde of locusts to collapse, which would greatly reduce the power of the locust plague.

Aesult, even if he knew that there was a Demon Locust command behind the plague of locusts, he was helpless to do anything. But now, the Demon Locust that could not form into a Locust Swarm had been forcefully summoned back, and other than the Demon Locust, Yang Junshan did not think that there was any other possibility of this happening.

“We’ve already seen the might of the giant locust. There must be a worm king guiding it from behind. Otherwise, how could things like locusts, which only exist by instinct, know how to attack from two sides!”

Yang Junshan shouted to persuade the three of them, “As long as we rush to the west mountain and kill that insect king, the locust plague in Tuqiu Village will at least be able to alleviate half of it!”

Xu Lei said loudly, “These are just your guesses, how can we know if it’s true or not?”

Yang Junshan replied without thinking: “This is what my father said, he originally thought that the Insect King would follow the locusts and attack the village together, so he was already prepared to attack from the south side of the village. How would he know that the Insect King had ran to the west side of the mountain?

Bringing Yang Tiangang out would indeed increase his persuasion by quite a bit, and Yang Junshan knew that this age was one of the most impulsive and hot-blooded youths who could not be provoked. After saying the last few sentences, Zhang Huzi was the first to explode, and said: “What’s there to be afraid, I’m just afraid that you, Yang Junshan, won’t be able to find the Insect King!”

Yang Tiangang saw that Xu Lei was still hesitating, but Xu Jing, who was at the side, had a face full of suspicion. Obviously, he did not believe Yang Junshan, and so he said: “Right now, what’s the point of you two guarding the Ling Tian here? The strength of the giant net talisman is insufficient, and the giant net knows that the speed of the locust swarm cannot compare to their speed.

This time, even Xu Lei was moved by what Yang Junshan had said, but he still thought about Xu Jing who was at the side. Xu Jing then asked: “Ignorant beasts, even berserk beasts have to act based on instinct, even if there is the Insect King, how can it have such wisdom?”

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing continued: “I think there iigh chance that he is a human being. Earlier, Zhang County was at the front of the group to purchase the spiritual valley at a high price, followed closely by the menacing giant locust, if I said that Sirius Gate did not sense it beforehand, I would be the first one to not believe it!”

Xu Jing’s words also made Zhang Huzi feel guilty, he said: “Are you saying that the giant locust that is attacking our village right now has a Sirius Gate cultivator directing them from behind, then would we be able to be their opponent?”

Xu Jing gave Zhang Huzi a disdainful look without hesitation, and said: “I only said that the locust plague could have been caused by the Sirius Gate, and didn’t say that they were the ones in command. Moreover, they were directing the entire way through the village, so do you really think that the Heaven-Shaken Sect isn’t aware of it?”

Yang Junshan said impatiently: “Enough, enough, if you want to go, quickly go, why are you wasting your breath!”

Five youths whose cultivation had reached the Spirit Enlightenment Realm, plus a young tiger, were riding a locust towards the west mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Yang Junshan smiled at Xu Jing: “The Xu family’s sister should have already activated her innate technique. In a while, when we find the Insect King, we will need to rely more on the Xu family’s sister!”

Xu Jing meaningfully looked at Yang Junshan, and then looked down the mountain, and said: “I think it’s best for all of you to take a look at this!”

Everyone looked in the direction that Xu Jing pointed, they saw a grayish-brown area beneath the mountain that covered the entire scenery, they could not see the village, the river, and the fields. All they could see waiece of dense and changing grayish-brown land, and occasionally, a few magic lights would break through the cover of the locusts, but after a while, they all became quiet among the more swarming grayish-brown locusts.

Yang Junshan suddenly pointed down to the northeast of the mountain, and said: “Look, that direction is the Stone Village!”

From afar, the density of locusts in the air above the village far exceeded that of Tuqiu Village. From Tuqiu Village, one could still see the rays of magic rushing out of the insect cloud’s cover, and not a single sign of resistance could be seen in the air above the village.

Su Baozhang sighed, and said: “I’m afraid Stone Village has already fallen, they started preparing after receiving the notification from Liu Zhen, and are just a day away from our village, I wonder how much of their spiritual valley is left this year.”

However, Zhang Huzi said in a ruthless voice, “It’s better if all of you are dead.

Earth Stone Village and Tuqiu Village were separated by two floors. However, the majority of the Ling Tian s in the two villages were located in the upper reaches of Qinshui. Aesult, when the two villages were irrigating the fields, there were many contradictions between them.

Furthermore, during the rainy season or when the snow melted in the spring, once the mountain floods broke out, the upstream rivers would frequently change routes, which caused the two villages to frequently have disputes after the river changed routes with their farmlands, and even caused several fights due to the struggle for land.

Blacksmith Zhang had once suffered a hidden loss while fighting with the Stone Village, so Zhang Huzi did not have a good impression of the village.

“Alright, don’t forget our purpose for coming here. If we can’t find the Insect King as soon as possible, I’m afraid our Tuqiu Village will be the same as our village!”

The five of them quickly advanced towards the rear mountains. Yang Junshan led the way at the front, with Xu Lei and Zhang Huzi protecting Xu Jing in the middle from the left and right.

Every time Xu Jing walked a certain distance, she would place her hands by her ears. At the same time, she turned left and right, as if she was collecting the voices that came from all directions, while Yang Junshan patted on Hu Niu’s head. With that, Hu Niu rushed into the mountain forest and disappeared withourace in the blink of an eye.
