Chapter 538 Preparing a Feast
As Wei Yuan ran, he sorted out what he needed to do next.

Encountering such a formidable opponent as Shengxin has disrupted many of Wei Yuan's plans. His first priority now is to find a way to get rid of Shengxin, or at least severely injure him again, to prevent further disruption.

Although Shengxin said he would love to see Hongye suffer misfortune, Weiyuan doesn't believe a word he says now.

Another important thing is to find a safe place to quietly leave a marker so that we can come back to the Netherworld again next time. Wei Yuan doesn't want to see Sheng Xin's big face as soon as he enters the Netherworld, but Hui Xin is a better option.

Wei Yuan ran for a while, then adjusted his direction and ran towards the Shuli Kingdom for a few more moments. Then, he casually killed a small demon by the roadside, leaving only a few hairs stuck to the trunk of a large tree.

After doing all this, Wei Yuan hid to the side, set up a hiding place, and placed a Dao Foundation Warrior there to observe the situation.

Then he sank into the ground and dug deeper and deeper, digging horizontally after ten zhang. Wei Yuan used three Dao Foundation cultivators to dig side by side, and they dug to a distance of a hundred zhang in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Then they dug towards the ground, and the exit was found under a huge rock.

Wei Yuan waited there, focusing his divine sense on the Dao Foundation warrior he was observing, waiting for the pursuers to take the bait.

At this moment, Shengxin and Huixin reappeared on the battlefield, both of their injuries vanished. Huixin's face was filled with hatred, her eyes blazing as she looked around.

She was about to move forward when Shengxin suddenly stopped her. Shengxin pointed to the ground and said, "There are traps here, you can't step on them."

Hui Xin was startled. She sensed carefully and then noticed something unusual. She reached out and pulled a strange square box from the ground, which was filled with small flying swords.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Shengxin took the box and all the Dao power inside vanished. Subsequently, the entire box, along with the small flying sword inside, also disappeared.

Saint Xin was taken aback, then praised, "A very good idea. I didn't know the Dao Foundation could be used in this way. If it's his Dao Foundation, then things will be much easier."

He casually waved his hand, his magic sweeping away the loose soil to reveal a flying sword-shaped landmine underneath. Then, Shengxin stepped on it.

The flying sword mines were triggered instantly, and dozens of small flying swords shot out at Shengxin!

However, none of the flying swords even pierced his clothes, failing to break through the Holy Heart's defenses.

Saint Heart relaxed one of his defenses, and was finally pierced by a flying sword, drawing a drop of blood. Saint Heart picked up the blood with his finger and smiled, "Isn't this karma? Let me think, what kind of tribulation should he experience this time..."

After a moment's thought, Shengxin's eyes lit up, and he said, "I've got it! When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let him experience the unique Demon Bee Tribulation of the Netherworld."

Seeing Shengxin's incredibly ugly smile, Huixin involuntarily trembled. Shengxin turned to her, grinning with a smirk, and said, "What, are you afraid of me too?"

Huixin quickly lowered her head: "No, I absolutely dare not!"

Saint Heart laughed and said, "I believe you! I don't need you to swear an oath, it would be bad if it came true."

Hui Xin dared not say more. In fact, whether the oath is fulfilled or not does not depend on what the person making the oath has done, but only on the mood of the Sacred Heart.

The blood in Sacred Heart's hand transformed into a giant bee the size of a palm, its stinger a deep blue. It flapped its wings and flew away, vanishing in an instant.

At that moment, Wei Yuan suddenly shivered, a strange sense of unease rising within him. He was certain his arrangements were flawless, so why this sudden whim? But the Holy Heart's methods were unpredictable and mysterious, likely containing hidden cards Wei Yuan was unaware of. Not daring to be careless, Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to enhance his Qi circulation as a countermeasure.

Luck is a skill passed down through generations of Tai Chu Palace disciples. When they travel outside, whenever other sects team up with Tai Chu Palace disciples for training and to compete for treasures and opportunities, bad things often happen.

Those who are enemies of the Taichu Palace disciples are even more prone to accidents during battles, such as mechanical beasts malfunctioning, puppets suddenly becoming unruly, magical artifacts failing to operate, or someone suddenly sneezing while chanting incantations, and so on.

Wei Yuan glanced at the bustling world and prepared to choose his destiny.

He first ruled out the girl Yin Yang. Yin Yang had a great karmic connection in the Netherworld. Although a great figure from the Witch Clan said that this karmic connection had been erased, Wei Yuan didn't even know who he was, so how could he believe it?
Although that person instructed the Desolate Ancestor Tribe to send two million catties of Thunder Sand to show sincerity, if this could be used as bait to lure out the Yin-Yang girl, then it would be worth it, not just two million catties, but even two hundred million catties of Thunder Sand.

Looking at each of the immortal plants, Wei Yuan suddenly had an idea. He selected a wisp of seaweed's aura and added it to his own fortune.

This seaweed has a strange origin. Judging from the reactions of the two great shamans, it might be the natural enemy of the shaman race. Using its aura to enhance one's luck might have additional effects.

Just as Wei Yuan finished making the arrangements, he heard voices coming from the other side of the hill: "Everyone, hurry up and get back as soon as you've finished patrolling this area. Don't delay! I have a feeling of unease."

At this moment, a group of witches walked up the hill. The leader was a great witch, who led four or five Dao Foundation stage witches. It was a standard elite patrol team.

This witch clan patrol team was quite strong. Just as Wei Yuan was considering whether to swallow them whole, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and a very dangerous feeling arose!
Wei Yuan concealed his aura, lowered his body, and then poured out Netherworld Soil from the human world to seal off the top of his head and the excavated passage. He then hid ten feet underground, entering a state of hibernation. He relied on the Dao Foundation Warriors stationed on the ground to perceive everything from the outside world.

Through the eyes of the Daoist warriors, Wei Yuan saw the group of Wu Clan members on the hilltop change color drastically, screaming, "A swarm of demonic bees! How can there be a swarm of demonic bees here?!"

They rushed down the hill and ran towards the Dao Foundation Warriors, but a black cloud rose up behind the hill at great speed. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with several Dao Foundation Wizards, wrapped around them, and devoured them completely, leaving not even a trace.

The great shaman ran only a few dozen feet before being caught up by the swarm of demonic bees. After all, his cultivation was much higher than that of a Dao Foundation Shaman, and he was able to scream three times before being devoured.

The swarm of demonic bees then swept away everything in the surrounding area. No living thing could escape their mouthparts. In the blink of an eye, there was not a single living thing left in the entire valley. Even the grass and trees were devoured clean!

Wei Yuan saw an extremely ferocious demonic bee land on his face. Its abdomen split open, revealing a huge mouth covered with densely packed, tiny teeth, and it bit down!
Wei Yuan immediately severed his connection with the Foundation Establishment warrior, and the warrior vanished from his senses. Fortunately, it was a Foundation Establishment warrior who hadn't yet awakened his wisdom, so the loss wasn't particularly painful.

However, the appearance of the swarm of demonic bees was inexplicable, and the reaction of the witch clan seemed to suggest that this area shouldn't have had a swarm of demonic bees in the first place. Wei Yuan didn't recall experiencing so many terrible natural disasters during his last visit to the Netherworld.

If the Netherworld were like this everywhere, Wei Yuan doubted how many Great Witches could survive, since Dao Foundation Witches were generally unable to survive.

While waiting for the bee tide to leave, Wei Yuan pondered a countermeasure.

At least improving one's fortune is feasible, so Wei Yuan started to engage in worldly affairs and sought solutions from the perspective of fortune.

On a distant mountain peak, the smile on Shengxin's face suddenly vanished. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, and said, "Another double. Just how many people did he bring in? It seems a small-scale attack is useless; we need to prepare a grand feast for him!"
