Chapter 355 City of Sages
Screams rang out, followed by a look of pain on the queen's face.
These ten purple holy pages, carrying immense power, enveloped the Queen Insect like a persistent, insidious infection.
Immediately afterwards, the energy within the purple holy page finally erupted, and a searing, burning sensation surged into the queen's mind, accompanied by white smoke rising from her antennae.
"break!"
Ye Ru let out a low shout, and the ten purple holy pages exploded, leaving the queen insect covered in holes, and her body collapsed powerlessly.
boom!
With a dull thud, the queen insect's body smashed into the ground, creating a large crater.
"How dangerous! Without these purple holy pages, we probably wouldn't have been able to defeat them."
Ye Ru wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his body began to sway.
The continuous battles had somewhat depleted his talent, and although he had the support of the Zen Mind of Clouds and Water, it could not withstand such exhaustion.
Just as Ye Ru breathed a sigh of relief, the queen insect's body suddenly began to churn inside, as if something was about to burst out of its belly.
"what happened?"
Seeing this, Ye Ru's heart skipped a beat, and he took two steps back before asking.
"It's alright. This is just the true form of the Corpse-Killing Worm. Its physical body has been suppressed by the Holy Page, so this true form can't cause any trouble."
Ye Ling spoke slowly, then suddenly waved her folding fan, and a beam of golden light shot out, finally landing directly on the insect queen's body.
puff!
The queen insect's abdomen suddenly burst open, and a long worm, as tall as a person, crawled out, seemingly trying to escape into the distance.
However, as soon as the insect appeared, it was enveloped in the golden light.
"This is the Queen Insect's true form. Its skin can be made into soft armor, and its defensive capabilities are terrifying."
Ye Lingdao.
"I have an idea. Brother Ye saved us and helped us defeat the insect queen. I think the insect skin should rightfully belong to Brother Ye. What do you think?"
Li Xunfeng pondered for a moment, glanced at the queen insect, and then spoke.
"I agree too."
"I agree."
The remaining two echoed this sentiment, noting that those present were well-versed in Confucian classics and naturally held a wiser view on such matters: repay kindness with kindness, and repay evil with evil.
"Look, everyone is going to give it to you, Brother Ye, please accept it. If you have this Queen Insect Soft Armor, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
Ye Ling also offered her advice.
"Then it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
Ye Ru thought for a moment, then bowed to the crowd and turned his gaze to the corpse-killing worm.
The latter also stared at Ye Ru, but his eyes were full of malice.
Although his body was destroyed, he remained conscious and knew that the other party wanted to kill him.
"You're not convinced? You've committed countless atrocities; many of our comrades have probably died at your hands, haven't they?"
Ye Ru looked at the venomous insect queen and sneered.
"Hmph, it's a dog-eat-dog world. They trespassed into my territory, so what if I kill them?"
Although the queen insect had become a prisoner, she showed no fear whatsoever, and instead spoke with a mocking tone.
"We have no grudge against you; we are merely here to search for the relics left behind by the Holy Path. Why are you being so aggressive? Why not give us some leeway?"
Ye Ru frowned and questioned, "So many scholars died at the hands of the other side. Although it has nothing to do with the Yanhuang Kingdom, it is still a huge loss for the human race as a whole."
After all, those who come here are all quite talented writers.
"Now that I'm in your hands, you may kill me or torture me as you please."
The Queen Insect turned her head away and stopped talking to Ye Ru. She knew it was too late to say anything now.
"Then I'm sorry, but you killed my human scholars, and I will definitely avenge them."
Ye Ru took a deep breath, took out the Three Perfections Writing Brush, and stabbed down without hesitation.
puff!
A muffled thud resounded, and the queen insect died instantly. Ye Ling then peeled off its skin, neatly folded it, and handed it to Ye Ru.
"If we find a master craftsman of the highest caliber to make this leather and infuse it with his talent, it will surely have a tremendous effect."
"Thank you."
Ye Ru took the insect skin, nodded, and put it away.
"Since this is where the Queen Insect is located, the correct direction should be another cave. Let's go."
"it is good."
Afterwards, the group did not linger there but hurried towards the other cave.
This cave was not as oppressive as the one before the Queen Insect Cave, and the dangers encountered were also much less. Presumably, after experiencing the near-death experience of the Queen Insect Cave, both the Book's courage and the Book Palace had increased considerably.
"We've been walking for half an hour and still haven't found the exit, and the cave entrance is getting darker and darker."
Holding a torch, Ye Ling led the way, saying with a wry smile.
"We should be there soon. Don't rush. I can sense a slight energy fluctuation ahead. It seems like that's where the destination is."
Ye Ru closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then raised his head, pointed ahead, and slowly said.
After walking for a while, some lights finally appeared ahead.
"Someone's here."
A hint of joy appeared on Li Xunfeng's face. Anyone would feel depressed after walking in such a dark place for more than half an hour. Of course, he was extremely happy to see someone like him.
Ye Ru and the others stopped there and looked into the distance.
However, when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasp.
In the distance, a towering building could be seen. This building was extremely large, with countless palaces and pavilions. Behind the city gate was a street that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The street was filled with intellectuals from various countries, and their clamor spread outwards in a grand and unrestrained manner.
"This is actually a city? No way..."
Li Xunfeng looked at this scene, seemingly unable to believe it, rubbed his eyes, and then licked his lips and said.
"The City of Sages?"
Ye Ru looked up at the ancient-looking plaque, then frowned and couldn't help but read it aloud.
"This must be the city of ancient sages. It is said that after those sages became semi-saints, they would each have their own city, and no matter how great their achievements were, they would name it Sage City."
Ye Ling pondered for a moment, then spoke up to explain.
"How do you know so clearly?"
Ye Ru couldn't help but ask.
"Our Ye family is the Ye family of Liang Kingdom. We do not like to fight with others. We specialize in collecting ancient classics and secrets, hoping to find the secrets of our ancient sages or our human race in ancient times."
Ye Ling said with a smile.
"I see. Let's go into the city first, but we must be careful to avoid being caught off guard."
Ye Ru suddenly realized that there was indeed such a Ye family in Liang Kingdom, and then took the lead in stepping into the city.
