"You are the Xueyao witch from the Xuefeng Tribe, aren't you!"

As he spoke with brimming arrogance, the child named Hai Long took two cold steps toward this side...

Seeing this, Hai Zhen didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

"That's right, it's me!"

Xueyao glanced at him and admitted indifferently...

Seeing Xueyao admit it directly, Hai Long nodded and spoke coldly, "Before, you bullied my mother, and now, I want to take revenge for her!"

Feeling his murderous intent, Xueyao laughed carelessly, "Revenge? This is a place where fighting is forbidden, and as a wizard, you should know that."

"Yes! I know! But don't worry, I don't plan to lay a hand on you. And to be honest, you aren't worthy of my effort."

After arrogantly mocking her, he commanded, "Now come here, kneel down and apologize to my mother, and seek her forgiveness. Otherwise, once I've fully cultivated the Gu Insect, I'll go straight to your tribe. When that time comes, not only will you die, but your entire tribe will be destroyed."

How fierce!

Hearing Hai Long's icy threat, Xueyao couldn't help but frown slightly...

She truly hadn't expected a seven- or eight-year-old child to be so ruthless!

Seeing that Xueyao seemed to have no intention of apologizing, he became annoyed, "What? You don't seem willing! Let me tell you, once I grow up, you won't stand a chance against me. So, I advise you to obey, because it's the only way to live a long life."

"That's right, kneel down and apologize!"

Thinking of how powerful her son would be in the future, Hai Zhen also yelled out loud, filled with madness and venom...

She knew that with her son, she could control Xueyao for the rest of her life, so there was no need to fear her anymore...

…

"These two pieces of trash!"

Watching their triumphant behavior, Hu Xiaobei stepped forward expressionlessly...

After he shuffled the not-so-pleased Xueyao behind him for protection, he faced them directly and bellowed, "Scram!"

Their faces slightly changed after being scolded by Hu Xiaobei, wanting to curse back, but they dared not.

Because they knew Hu Xiaobei was formidable...

Otherwise, Wizard Shanhu wouldn't have been so utterly tormented by him that he wished for death...

Stepping back in fright, Hai Zhen glanced at Xueyao and said menacingly, "Xueyao, you're lucky to have found such support. But I don't believe he can protect you and your tribe forever! Sooner or later, I will settle our scores!"

After speaking, Hai Zhen glanced at Hai Long and said, "Son, let's go!"

Hai Long, hearing her words, waved his hand, "Mom, no rush. Let's just watch from here. There will definitely be a good show soon."

"Watching a play? What play?"

Seeing Hai Zhen's clueless face, Hai Long glanced at Xueyao and said, "Of course, to see Xueyao lose face. She's planning to take the Mysterious Land's challenge again! We'll stick around to see if she can succeed."

"Succeed? That's simply impossible! But it should be interesting to watch."

After saying this, Hai Zhen folded her arms and looked toward Xueyao...

Seeing that they weren't planning to leave, Hu Xiaobei frowned...

Before long, Hu Xiaobei didn't care anymore...

Because he knew they were just two clowns jumping on a beam, completely unworthy of attention...

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to Xueyao and said, "Auntie, no one will disturb you now; try again! I believe this time you will definitely succeed!"

"Yes! I believe too!"

Taking a deep breath, Xueyao walked towards the Mysterious Land with a composed face!

…

Hai Long and Hai Zhen, seeing her confident demeanor, were full of mockery...

They truly didn't believe Xueyao would succeed...

Because, over the years, countless witches had tried to regain the Mysterious Land's recognition after their Gu Insect's death, but not a single one had truly succeeded.

They felt Xueyao would be no exception!

Even if she did succeed by some fluke, it wouldn't matter, because a newly acquired Gu Insect would hardly be capable of immediate combat, so even if she were successful, she wouldn't pose a barrier to their expansion.

As they thought dismissively, a serene-faced Xueyao walked back to her previous position.

"Last time, I had a trace of a sensation right here. Standing here again to start over, I'm certain to succeed!"

After speaking, Xueyao began to circulate the Nine Wood True Qi in her Dantian again.

"Compared to before, I've gotten a bit more proficient!"

As the Nine Wood True Qi slowly circulated, Xueyao's eyes glinted. Following this, she focused even more on guiding it...

…

"That attraction is back!"

Previously, the powerful Gu Insects, having completely lost their connection, were ready to return to their caves...

But just as they were about to take action, they suddenly felt a faint attraction and sensation again...

Without hesitation, these Gu Insects quickly surged forward again...

Having lived countless years, they possessed absolute wisdom and knew they had to acquire whatever was drawing them...

…

"This Xueyao is such an idiot! Still trying over there!"

"It's futile. Even if she tries for a longer time, it's completely useless. Because the Mysterious Land will never acknowledge a witch for the second time!"

Watching Xueyao still trying with her eyes closed, Hai Zhen and Hai Long mocked her coldly...

They truly felt Xueyao was just wasting time.

Because even if they gave her a lifetime, she wouldn't be acknowledged again.

"Huh? What a powerful aura!"

As they were jeering, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but jump in fright!

At that moment, he was very aware of a strong presence rapidly approaching.

Hu Xiaobei guessed that these strong presences must be Gu Insects, and their crazed, rapid approach was probably due to Xueyao's summoning.

No!

To be precise, it was due to the calling of his own Nine Wood True Qi.

"Hmm? Seems like there's a reaction now!"

While Hu Xiaobei was feeling that strong presence, Xueyao, standing in the Mysterious Land, also faintly sensed powerful presences quickly closing in.

"Could it be that I really can be recognized once again?"

Thinking thus, Xueyao excitedly watched ahead...

Previously, although she had confidence in the Nine Wood True Qi, her heart was still uneasy.

But now, she knew she didn't need to be uneasy anymore because she was about to make it...

"This..."

While Xueyao's eyes shone with anticipation, Hai Zhen and Hai Long, wearing sneers, faintly sensed a terrifying presence that made their own hearts tremble.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah!"

As they spoke, their expressions grew extremely ugly.

"Mom, could it be that Xueyao really passed the recognition again?"

Hearing Hai Long's astonished inquiry, Hai Zhen vigorously shook her head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! A witch cannot be recognized by the Mysterious Land twice! And even if she really was recognized, it couldn't possibly be with such a formidable presence."

"That's true! So what exactly is happening?"

After glancing at Hai Long, Hai Zhen rapidly said, "I guess that her constant attempts here have finally angered the Mysterious Land, and now, the Mysterious Land has sent down a punishment."

"That makes sense!"

After a moment of thought, Hai Long quickly nodded...

The next moment, they looked over again with a faint gaze...

Soon, their faces drastically changed.

Because at that time, they felt that the oppressive presence had become even more terrifying...

During this spine-chilling moment, they saw more than a dozen different Gu Insects burst from the depths of the dense forest.

They looked dissimilar, but they all shared one thing in common: the terrifying presence they exuded.

Watching these overwhelmingly powerful beings, Hai Zhen and Hai Long spoke with a quiet voice.

"If these Gu Insects belonged to me, then I would definitely become the number one witch of Miaojiang!"

"Yeah!"

After saying this, they watched Xueyao with complicated expressions.

They knew that if these Gu Insects really had been summoned by Xueyao, she would certainly be able to swagger through Miaojiang from now on...

...

"Are these Gu Insects here because of me?"

Watching them appear before her, Xueyao's face slightly changed...

Feeling Xueyao's nervousness, Hu Xiaobei smiled and softly said, "Auntie Xueyao, don't be afraid, try communicating with them now."

"Communicate?"

"Yes! If you don't communicate, how will you understand each other?"

"Alright! I understand!"

Nodding gently, Xueyao took a deep breath and began trying to communicate with the Gu Insects.

Xueyao had previously cultivated Gu Insects, so she knew how to communicate with them...

Soon, her eyes began to glow faintly...

Because she discovered that these Gu Insects seemed genuinely eager to be close to her.

Two minutes later, Xueyao realized that their frenzied rush from the cave wasn't because of her, but rather because of the Nine Wood True Qi within her.

"The Nine Wood True Qi is truly miraculous to make them so eager," she sincerely admired, channeling a trace of Nine Wood True Qi from her Dantian. Quickly, that trace of Nine Wood True Qi gathered in Xueyao's palm.

"Go!"

Glancing at the dark-green Nine Wood True Qi, Xueyao softly uttered the command.

Instantly, the mass of dark-green Nine Wood True Qi drifted towards them.

The dozen or so powerful Gu Insects, seeing the bunch of Nine Wood True Qi float over, furiously rushed at it, fiercely competing.

Seeing this scene, Xueyao smiled...

Turning her head, she looked at Hu Xiaobei and saw him looking back at her with encouraging eyes.

"What... what on earth is happening? Why did those Gu Insects with strong presences suddenly start attacking each other?!"

Watching the Gu Insects tear into each other, their mouths twitched...

Although they were a bit slow, they were not stupid.

They knew Xueyao must have something that attracted the insects, which led them to desperately fight without regard for the consequences...

Once they realized this, they greedily exchanged glances!

They longed to snatch whatever was attracting the insects, but they dared not make a move.

Because they knew that standing against Xueyao right now was definitely not good news...

For with just one command from Xueyao, these powerful Gu Insects would charge over and tear them limb from limb...
