"Haha, little ones, lift your heads and let me see you!" As Ling Feng and the others stumbled in, they heard an amused voice.

Looking up, they could only see a phantom shadow; the true body of the Insect Taoist was still nowhere to be seen.

"A Golden Winged Angel, a Warrior's Divine Body from the Siteli Family, an Innate Wind-Thunder Physique from the Hao Lian Family... I thought there were only a few insignificant prey, but unexpectedly, there are surprises!" The Insect Taoist's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"Ji Jian's Warrior's Divine Body, Hao Lian Wushuang's Innate Wind-Thunder Physique, what exactly are these things?" Ling Feng's heart stirred.

Although Ling Feng was not yet clear about what the Warrior's Divine Body meant, it was evident that the aptitudes of Ji Jian, Hao Lian Wushuang, and even the Golden Winged Angel from the Angel World should be formidable. Otherwise, the Insect Taoist wouldn't be so surprised as an expert of the Azure Sky Realm.

"Senior, may I ask what you intend to do?" At this time, Ji Jian looked at the shadow of the Insect Taoist and asked in a deep voice.

The Insect Taoist said lightly, "Originally, I wanted to kill you all since I have an irreconcilable enmity with both the Divine Realm and Angel Realm, but now seeing your aptitudes, I have a new thought!"

Speaking, the Insect Taoist chuckled: "With your aptitudes, even in the Divine Realm and Angel Realm, you are not ordinary existences. I think both realms would not ignore you falling into danger, so... if I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before the armies of both realms arrive on the Heavenly Battlefield!"

"Do you mean to use us as hostages?" the Golden Winged Angel asked at this time.

"Very clever, that's exactly it!" The Insect Taoist said lightly: "That is your only value now!"

Ling Feng had remained silent, feeling very strange. Although the Insect Taoist was talking to the others, Ling Feng always felt the Insect Taoist's gaze fell on him, not knowing if it was an illusion or the truth.

"Go down and cherish your final moments!" Saying this, the Insect Taoist's shadow waved a hand, and several gusts of black wind swept over, rendering everyone unconscious under the black wind.

Under the hands of an expert of the Azure Sky Realm, their power was like ants, unable to withstand a single blow.

"Why leave me behind?" Ling Feng looked at the Insect Taoist and said in a deep voice: "I think you must have something to say to me?"

The black winds had avoided Ling Feng; everyone else had been rendered unconscious except him. Ling Feng's heart sank as he realized that his earlier feeling was not an illusion.

"You're neither an Angel from the Angel Realm nor a person from the Divine Realm; I can spare your life!" Unexpectedly, the Insect Taoist said such words to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was surprised; he never thought the Insect Taoist would say this to him.

"Why!" Ling Feng couldn't help but ask.

The Insect Taoist's tone was somewhat unfriendly: "No reason, do you still want me to use you as a hostage? If you don't want to die, then leave quickly, or else I won't show mercy to you!"

With considerable confusion and doubt, Ling Feng was driven out by the Insect Taoist.

Standing above the canyon and looking at the vast Void Devouring Insects, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown. The Insect Taoist gave him a very eerie feeling, and he still didn't know why the Insect Taoist spared only him!

"Could it be because I'm too handsome?" Ling Feng touched his face, self-deprecatingly thought.

As for the reason the Insect Taoist gave, Ling Feng didn't believe a word of it. The ruthless Insect Taoist couldn't possibly be such a pedantic person, could he?

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, then I just won't think about it!" Ling Feng exhaled: "However, this is also a perfect opportunity to enter the Angel Realm. As for the life and death of those people... what does it have to do with me!"

Ling Feng exhaled and then turned to leave.

In the Insect Taoist's cave, a burly man sat before him. The man was bare-chested, holding a massive roasted pig leg with one hand, chewing and speaking unclearly: "I say, bug, you're just taking off your pants to fart, an unnecessary move. Aren't you afraid of being seen through?"

Sitting in front of the burly man was a middle-aged man with a jade-like demeanor. He extended his hand, and a golden Void Devouring Insect lay quietly in his palm. If one looked closely, they could see the golden Void Devouring Insect biting into the man's palm, slowly sucking at the Insect Taoist's blood.

But no one expected that the Insect Taoist was such a handsome man.

Listening to the burly man's voice, he smiled slightly and said lightly: "If I didn't do this, how could I see clearly the temperament of the Young Master?"

"Tch, putting on airs, what did you see!" The burly man said disdainfully: "Besides, the Young Master doesn't even know our identities, doing this might actually make the Young Master suspicious!"

The Insect Taoist laughed: "Perhaps, but if I don't take a closer look, how could I be at ease? With the disappearance of the Holy Emperor, we've spent nearly ten thousand years in anticipation and anxiety. Now that we've finally waited for the Successor of the Holy Emperor, I wouldn't be satisfied without seeing it with my own eyes!"

"Moreover... even if the Young Master suspects something, so what? In the future, if we have the chance to see the Young Master again, won't everything become clear?" The Insect Taoist laughed: "Wind Thunder Old Ghost, don't be so sarcastic, aren't you just unhappy you didn't see the Young Master?"

"Nonsense, why would I be unhappy over such a thing?" Wind Thunder Old Ghost said with disdain.

The Insect Taoist looked at the Wind Thunder Old Ghost with a half-smile: "Really? But I do have something good for you, the Innate Wind-Thunder Physique, do you want it?"

Wind Thunder Old Ghost's expression froze: "What? Innate Wind-Thunder Physique? Are you serious?"

The Insect Taoist replied: "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you? However, this Innate Wind-Thunder Physique belongs to the little lass from the Hao Lian Family. If you're not afraid of being hunted down by Hao Lian Old Ghost, you can take the little lass in!"

"Bah! What do you mean by 'take her in'?" Wind Thunder Old Ghost said with disdain: "But I am a bit tempted. If my Qiankun Wind-Thunder Art could find an heir, my life would not be in vain. But if that person is from the Divine Realm, then..."

The Insect Taoist smiled faintly and said nothing.

After a long time, Wind Thunder Old Ghost sighed and said: "Forget it, as much as I want to pass on my life's work, if it strengthens the Divine Realm, it wouldn't be good for us!"

The Insect Taoist showed a persuasive smile: "What if... I can help you solve this issue?"
