Chapter 811 The Death of Yin Lingzi

After Qin Ming left the Tianhe Sect.

They then returned to the immortal city of the Red River Wilderness Allied Forces.

He summoned all the leaders of the forces in the middle and lower reaches of the Chishui River.

When Lady Qingfu and Han Yuanzi saw Yin Lingzi, a top Void Refinement expert from the Kunlun Domain, again, they were filled with awe.

Now, Yin Lingzi not only strikes fear into the hearts of both the demon and monster races, but his fame also spreads far and wide throughout the Kunlun Domain.

He was sitting calmly in the head seat, gazing down at the people below. No one dared to meet his eyes.

They all obeyed orders with utmost respect.

Qin Ming looked at these people. They naturally had no idea that, for his own selfish interests, Ancestor Ren Shui was preparing to use them as cannon fodder to enter the Insect Valley.

Those swarms of insects were terrifying; how could these people possibly stop them?

Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Immediately afterwards, a Refining Void Elder from the Heavenly River Sect stepped forward and began to issue orders.

After a long time.

When everyone heard that they were going to mobilize the entire sect to launch a counterattack on the Insect Valley, they all looked shocked and terrified.

After all, the Insect Valley is the source of this insect plague, and it is said that even seventh-order ancient ferocious insects exist there. Even if a powerful cultivator at the Integration stage personally intervenes, a guaranteed victory cannot be guaranteed.

These forces also knew what they were about to face.

For a moment, the hall was shrouded in gloom and despair.

However, there was no other way. The human race's upper echelons also wanted to completely resolve the insect swarm crisis. If the source could be blocked, the cultivators of the Red River Wasteland would no longer have to fight against the insect swarm year after year.

Over the years, countless cultivators have died in the insect plague, and even the major forces and sects at the bottom level could not withstand such losses.

Seeing this, Qin Ming waved for them to leave.

He then allowed the people from the four major sects—Moon Shadow Sect, Green Grain Valley, Mysterious Weapon Pavilion, and Five Fire Sect—to stay behind.

Lady Qingfu and Han Yuanzi exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of 'Commander Yin's' intentions in keeping them behind.
Are they planning to send the four of them to lead the charge and form a suicide squad?
Thinking of this, they became uneasy.

However, due to the tyrannical power of Yin Lingzi, a demonic tyrant, they dared not disobey orders, even though they were at the Void Refinement stage.

No matter what Yin Lingzi said, they could only grit their teeth and accept it.

however.

Yin Lingzi's next words shocked everyone present.

Yin Lingzi, his previous murderous aura gone, sighed slightly and said:

"This battle in the Insect Valley is a matter of life and death for the Red Water Wasteland. Although there is support from the other two major integrated sects in the Kunlun Domain—the Divine Talisman Sect and the Jade Void Palace, plus our sect's Ancestor Ren Shui, a total of three integrated powerhouses will personally handle this matter."

"But you have all experienced the terror of these insects. They are almost impossible to kill. Your disciples alone are simply no match for this swarm of insects."

"Therefore, you should preserve some of the sect's lineage and incense offerings. Just act according to the circumstances. I will personally take part in this battle."

The words fell.

Lady Qingfu and the others were also taken aback for a moment, but they naturally understood what Qin Ming meant.

They immediately clasped their hands in gratitude and said, "Commander Yin is so righteous! We will be eternally grateful!"

"No need to be so polite. You few should keep this to yourselves and not spread it around. Alright, you all should hurry up and get ready."

“What is supposed to come will come.”

"Yes!" The men acknowledged the order and left the main hall.

Only Qin Ming remained inside, looking thoughtful.

……

Ten days later.

Above the Chishui Wasteland, countless patrol ships emerged, forming dozens of massive fleets.

Each fleet was led by several colossal French warships, each thousands of feet in size, followed by ships of all sizes, creating an incredibly magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle.

The protective arrays and spiritual light shields surrounding these magical ships were all activated, and the dark openings of their psionic cannons were pointed outwards, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators stood on the Dharma ship, their expressions tense, ready to fight the insect swarm to the death.

Yin Lingzi stood on the deck of a flagship, gazing at the grand spectacle outside. Under the oppressive power of the Tianhe Sect, the forces of the Red River Wasteland had also revealed their true strength.

"It's really going to be an all-in bet!"

"I wonder if this time, we can completely eliminate the threat of the Insect Valley."

Qin Ming had already made his plans. Once the fight broke out, he would find an opportunity to 'fall' and then make a quick getaway.

He would never fight to the death for the Ren Shui Ancestor; that guy is wicked and Qin Ming has already written it down in his little book.

Furthermore, the Old Ancestor Renshui had already mastered that pig-raising technique, and once the other party tasted the benefits, they simply couldn't stop.

When the opportunity arises in the future, they will surely reap what they sow.

A massive fleet of cultivators, blotting out the sky, began its relentless advance towards the Insect Valley.

Boom! !

The attack array on the Sky Patrol Ship was activated at full power, unleashing a rain of meteorites and fire that crashed into the swarm of insects below, initiating a bloody battle.

Various colorful magical spells filled the sky, accompanied by deafening roars and shouts.

"Kill! Kill them all! Slaughter these vile insects!"

"Fight them back!"

Not to be outdone, the swarm of insects, after wave after wave of them died, suddenly emerged several ferocious insects thousands of feet in size, their mouthparts emitting a soul-shaking hiss.

It formed terrifying purple light waves that spread and swept outwards in all directions.

These terrifying sound waves ignored most defensive measures and struck directly into the depths of a cultivator's soul. Those cultivators with lower cultivation levels could not withstand the impact of these sound waves and died instantly, bleeding from all seven orifices.

The war was like a meat grinder, crushing across the barren land of Chishui, instantly turning rivers of blood into the Chishui River.

at the same time.

As the battle in the Insect Valley raged on, three extremely terrifying figures were hidden in the clouds above.

One of them was the Ren Shui Ancestor, dressed in a red robe.

There were two others: one was a short, golden-robed boy, and the last was a Taoist priest in a blue robe with an air of otherworldly grace, holding a golden whisk.

“Old ghost Ren Shui, it’s about time. The three of us old folks should set off now.”

"Otherwise, all your disciples and followers will be wiped out."

"You really have a heart of stone."

"However, you didn't mention being severely injured by the ferocious insects in the Insect Valley before, yet you recovered so quickly. Could it be that you were faking it?"

"Just how strong are those seventh-tier ferocious insects inside? Tell us about them beforehand!"

At this point, the short, golden-robed boy, with a mocking expression, teased the Ren Shui Ancestor.

Ren Shui Ancestor was not angry, but replied indifferently: "This old ancestor is also very lucky to have survived the poisoning of that seventh-order ancient ferocious insect. There are two in total. With the strength of the three of us, we should be able to destroy the wormhole, if not kill the insect."

As they spoke, the three figures disappeared from the clouds and vanished into the depths of the Insect Valley.

Not long after.

The cultivators fighting the insect swarm outside suddenly sensed a deafening battle raging from within the insect valley.

Its sheer scale and power were unprecedented.

Qin Ming naturally sensed it as well.

He looked towards the direction of the Void Insect Nest, lost in thought: "It seems that Ancestor Renshui and the others have also begun to take action."

His figure immediately disappeared from the deck, and he went directly to a hidden location in the Insect Valley according to the information given by the Ren Shui Ancestor.

This place is a mountain hollow shrouded in the stench of insects, occupied by a large swarm of black beetles.

Qin Ming was no stranger to this. He directly summoned the swarm of blood mosquitoes on his body to lure away the insects guarding the core cave.

Subsequently.

He unleashed his vast divine sense and explored the vicinity. Sure enough, in a place riddled with void rifts, he discovered three insect spirit herbs emerging from the black soil, preying on stray lightning arcs in the void.

This kind of insect-spirit herb can benefit even Ren Shui Ancestor, who is in the Integration Stage, immensely, which shows how precious it is.

However, near the spiritual herb, a terrifyingly powerful sixth-tier perfect-level golden beetle was guarding it closely. Seeing this, Qin Ming's eyes flickered, and he thought of a solution.

He revealed himself and headed straight for the three insect spirit herbs.

Squeak!
The golden beetle also realized Qin Ming's ill intentions and immediately let out a loud hiss, swooping down towards him.

Then it unfolded a pair of thick pincers, unleashing a tremendous force capable of cutting through space, instantly tearing Qin Ming's body to shreds.
But they discovered that his physical body had disintegrated like a bubble, revealing that it was merely a clone of a true demonic illusion.

Buzz!
Immediately afterwards, a large swarm of silver-faced bees appeared out of nowhere and immediately entangled him.

Qin Ming, however, had already moved quickly and arrived in front of the three insect spirit herbs.

These were three spirit herbs, each about an inch long, that looked somewhat like maggots, each with a long black horn on its head.

The amazing thing is that this insect spirit grass, which was induced to grow under special conditions, seemed to have developed intelligence. The moment it saw Qin Ming arrive, it actually burrowed into the void on its own, trying to escape.

Qin Ming was not about to let him have his way. He took out three special spirit-sealing jade boxes and then unleashed divine power comparable to the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Realm.

In a moment.

boom!
A spatial suppression force instantly invaded the nearby void, easily capturing the three fleeing insect spirit herbs and sealing them, along with the black soil beneath them, into a jade box.

However, these three spiritual herbs are still in their seedling stage, and there should still be some gaps between them and the mature ones obtained by Ancestor Renshui.

After doing all this, he was just about to leave.

But where the spiritual herbs had just grown, at the edge of the void rift, a teardrop-shaped mass of purple spiritual essence had suddenly condensed.

At its core, there is a swirling nebula that rotates continuously.

His mind raced for a moment, and he immediately recognized the object, his expression brightening with delight.

"Could this be the legendary 'Void Star Essence'?!"

This kind of spiritual object, which is unique to the void, is a treasure created by heaven and earth. Whether for alchemy, weapon crafting, or other purposes, it is an invaluable treasure.

"No wonder it can grow such a spiritual herb as the Insect Spirit Grass; it turns out it is accompanied by such a rare and precious natural treasure."

"Fortunately, the Renshui Ancestor did not discover it."

Qin Ming immediately used his divine sense to collect the 'Void Star Essence' as well.

Do it all.

He sensed the giant golden-armored insect breaking free from the swarm of ghost-faced bees and lunging towards him.

Upon seeing that Qin Ming had stolen the Insect Spirit Grass, the sixth-order perfected golden-armored giant insect was furious and immediately summoned a swarm of nearby insects to surround Qin Ming without regard for anything else.

There were two other giant golden-armored insects, whose auras were comparable to its own.

Qin Ming didn't care about any of that. He unleashed the spatial divine power of the True Spirit Kunpeng from his body. Although it was only a superficial understanding, it was enough for him.

With a casual wave of his hand, he recalled his swarm of insects and then vanished into thin air.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to make a quick getaway.

The giant golden-armored insect behind him also possessed extremely fast speed, chasing after Qin Ming.

Half an incense stick later.

Qin Ming arrived at the edge of the Insect Valley, preparing to abandon the alias Yin Lingzi, and of course, he needed someone to witness it.

If you're going to act, you have to go all the way.

Lady Qingfu and Han Yuanzi were fighting to the death with the insect swarm on the outer perimeter when they saw a black shadow shoot out.

Suddenly, Yin Lingzi's disheveled figure was revealed.

But at this moment, he was seen in a panic, his face filled with terror, and his body covered with horrific, bloody wounds.

Behind him followed a large swarm of ferocious insects, among which a gigantic golden beetle possessed an extremely terrifying aura, having already reached the sixth-order perfection.
Immediately afterwards, a second head, and a third head appeared beside it.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.

But then they saw that Yin Lingzi, the Insect Demon who had been famous in the cultivation world not long ago, was caught in a giant net spewed from the mouth of a terrifying golden beetle behind him. Before he could even scream, he was torn to pieces.

Even their primordial spirit perished completely in the insects' mouths.
"Run away!"

Lady Qingfu and the others witnessed Yin Lingzi's demise and were deeply shaken, their souls already departing for the heavens.

Even a powerful cultivator like Yin Lingzi was no match for this insect, let alone them.

Therefore, they gave up resistance and immediately gathered their disciples to escape.

……

at the same time.

A dark shadowy figure of a primordial spirit vanished silently from the void, having already escaped beyond the Insect Valley.

It was Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit that had just created an illusion and pulled off a clever escape.

After putting away the storage bag, he directly abandoned Yin Lingzi's physical body.

Thus, the once-renowned Insect Demon perished in the Battle of Insect Valley.

From now on, it's none of his business.

……

the other side.

The Ancestor Renshui was deep in the void insect nest, fighting a fierce battle with the seventh-order ferocious insect, so he naturally had no time to spare for anything else.

However, after Yin Lingzi's last remaining soul completely vanished, as the leader of the sect, he naturally had a mental connection to it.

His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he burst into a tirade of curses:
"Damn it! How could Yin Lingzi have perished?"

He knew that his two most important matters depended entirely on him, the elder under his tutelage.

Unexpectedly, a major mishap occurred.

But now that we're at a critical juncture, he can't go and check on things himself.

"Old ghost Ren Shui, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and make your move!" The golden-robed boy from Yu Xu Palace spoke with great dissatisfaction.

"Are you tired of living? If another ferocious insect emerges from the other side of the wormhole, we won't be able to hold out."

The words fell.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth swirls.

Rumble!
In the void, a terrifying battle power erupted, engulfing everything around it, and countless insect corpses rained down from the sky.

……

A few days later.

After some twists and turns, Qin Ming's demonic infant spirit, using the spatial magic of the Kunpeng, returned to Little Turtle Peak from the void.

It then returned to Qin Ming's original body.

"Before abandoning the alias Yin Lingzi, he also obtained three insect spirit herbs with extremely high potential, as well as a clump of void star marrow, which can be considered to have maximized its value."

"Incidentally, we also tricked that Old Ancestor Renshui. Who told him to be so shameless?"

Qin Ming tossed the storage bag in his hand and said something with great satisfaction.

After some time had passed.

The battle of the Insect Valley in the Chishui Wasteland has also come to an end.

The combined power of the three major sects in the Kunlun Domain paid a price but finally managed to completely destroy two of the wormholes inside.

Only one wormhole remains.

Even so, it solved a major hidden danger in the Chishui wasteland.

The allied forces of various powers achieved a pyrrhic victory and retreated back to the Immortal City.

They also established a defensive line along the perimeter of the insect valley, which effectively controlled the expansion of the insect swarm and stabilized the situation.

however.

Even more explosive news in this battle was that the insect demon Yin Lingzi, the commander of the allied forces, ultimately died in the insect valley.

This has caused a huge uproar in the nearby cultivation world.

After this news spread...

Then one by one, people began to approach Qin Ming at Xiaoguifeng.
