“Don’t act tough! The poison of these Netherworld Blood Worms is no joke. If any of you are bitten, tell me immediately, I might still be able to save your life. If it’s too late, then you can only go see Yama!”
As Ye Fan spoke, he quickly moved toward Ji Ningxuan.
Although Ye Fan didn’t have much of a liking for Ji Ningxuan, she was Ji Yuchen’s Empress. As long as he could make Ji Yuchen miserable, Ye Fan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Besides, Ye Fan had his own plans to make use of these Netherworld Blood Worms for himself.
He couldn’t let Ji Ningxuan keep burning them either. If she burnt them all, then there’d be nothing left for him to play with.
Whoosh!
Before Ye Fan could get close, the flames Ji Ningxuan had summoned were collectively extinguished by the swarm of Netherworld Blood Worms, and more of them, undeterred by the pressure of the Fragment in Ji Ningxuan’s hand, charged at Ji Ningxuan and the others like mad.
More Golden Armored Blood Worms had emerged, and there were even more surrounding them than last time.
Ji Ningxuan and the two grey-robed elders by her side all turned pale.
“Miss, we’re in trouble! We can’t even escape now!”
Wasn’t this situation the same as just before?
Trapped again!
The bodyguards that Ji Ningxuan had brought had already lost half their number, and this wave of Netherworld Blood Worms was more numerous and stronger than the last.
Ji Ningxuan truly regretted it!
Had she known her methods were ineffective against these Blood Worms, she should have listened to Ye Fan earlier. If they had left this place, there naturally would have been someone from the Town Martial Hall to deal with these Netherworld Blood Worms.
What would the outcome be if she really met her demise here?
The Netherworld Blood Worms just now seemed to have realized that Ji Ningxuan was somewhat special, so they formed the character “leave” in the air, seemingly wanting Ji Ningxuan to back off considering the difficulty.
But instead, Ji Ningxuan lashed out with even fiercer fire to burn them, nearly reaching the Insect Queen that was regenerating underground.
This time, she completely enraged these Netherworld Blood Worms!
Not even the ancient aura of the Temple Fragment could suppress them. They seemed desperate to fight Ji Ningxuan and the others to the death.
“Ye…” Ji Ningxuan wanted to call out to Ye Fan for help but found uttering his name to be so difficult.
What a slap in the face!
She had just claimed she didn’t need Ye Fan, that she could manage on her own. Yet within seconds, she found herself in a dire situation once again!
“Evil-Purging Formation, activate!”
Just as Ji Ningxuan and her group of bodyguards were in despair, Ye Fan had already flashed to their side. With a shout, he quickly activated the seals in his hand, and several immense Eight Trigrams Formation Drawings descended from the sky, enveloping everyone below.
The golden Glowing Gang Qi fluctuated, with intricate ancient patterns and mysterious designs swirling around!
The entire Formation exuded sanctity, untouchable and high above.
The Formation extended for ten meters around, and the aura within this area underwent an earth-shaking, monumental transformation.
With the Evil-Purging Formation in place, it was as if this spot had been elevated. Any evil presence was purified and eradicated here!
As the Evil-Purging Formation activated, all the Netherworld Blood Worms within the area fell prostrate to the ground, utterly subdued, and dared not move.
And the few Golden Armored Blood Worms that still tried to struggle just needed Ye Fan to move his wrist slightly. With a ripple through the Formation… the Golden Armored Blood Worms were instantly “purified,” turning into a pile of dust, scattering with the wind, and falling to the ground.
Ah?
Ji Ningxuan and the two Martial Emperor powerhouses also covered by the Formation, upon witnessing this scene, were completely dumbfounded.
What kind of magic is this?
That can directly destroy these Golden Armored Blood Worms into nothingness?
You should know that these Golden Armored Blood Worms have incredibly hard exoskeletons that even warriors of the Grandmaster Realm cannot easily cleave through, yet Ye Fan merely moved his finger and managed to destroy these Golden Armored Blood Worms!
The power is too terrifying!
Terrifying indeed!
“Still not leaving? Do you really want to wait until they tear you apart?” Ye Fan, seeing Ji Ningxuan and several bodyguards still dumbfounded, couldn’t help but rebuke them.
“Ah… Oh…” Ji Ningxuan replied, snapping out of her shock. Her body staggered, and she quickly rushed toward the safe area outside.
However, when Ji Ningxuan looked back, she found that Ye Fan had not retreated, but was instead stepping into the pile of Yellow Springs Blood Worms!
All around were the densely packed Yellow Springs Blood Worms, and Ye Fan’s body emanated a layer of golden Glowing Gang Qi that enveloped and protected his entire body, as he stepped into the midst of the Blood Worms.
Ji Ningxuan watched with her heart racing!
“Ye Fan, what are you doing? Come back… Are you seeking death?” Ji Ningxuan had already confirmed that even a Divinity Fragment’s deterrence against these Yellow Springs Blood Worms would gradually weaken.
What was Ye Fan doing, entering into the lair of the Yellow Springs Blood Worms like that? If the surrounding defenses failed, wouldn’t that be a one-way ticket to death?
“Take care of yourself!”
Ye Fan responded, quickening his pace, and in an instant, he had arrived beneath the temple ruins, appearing in the middle of that “nest”!
Hiss, hiss!
The Insect Emperor and Golden Armored Blood Worms had already detected Ye Fan’s movements when he was still outside.
Now that Ye Fan appeared before them, even though they were surrounded by Yellow Springs Blood Worms, none dared or managed to harm Ye Fan, shielded as he was by those Gang Qi.
Seeing Ye Fan, a group of Golden Armored Blood Worms stood vigilantly in front of the Insect Emperor and Insect Queen, eyeing Ye Fan warily.
Ye Fan gave a faint smile, the Evil-Purging Formation in his hand fluctuating, and he calmly said to the Insect Emperor, “Shall we talk? I help you save them, and you submit to me!”
When Ye Fan said “talk,” he essentially left no choice for the Insect Emperor.
If the Insect Emperor showed any sign of dissent, Ye Fan would smash down the Evil-Purging Formation in his hand, and everything within these nests—the Insect Queen, the Insect Emperor, and all the Golden Armored Blood Worms—would have to die.
Whoosh!
The Insect Emperor let out a howl, and all the surrounding Golden Armored Blood Worms quickly withdrew, while the Insect Emperor humbly prostrated before Ye Fan, even lifting its claws toward him.
Indeed very smart!
Ye Fan’s mouth curved slightly, and without any hesitation, he flashed beside the Insect Queen. A stream of pure Vitality Force emerged in his hand, infusing into the body of the Insect Queen to replenish her dissipating power.

Whew!
It took only a moment for the Insect Queen to successfully complete her reproduction. The newly produced Little Blood Insect was actually a completely crimson Blood Worm.
All the Yellow Springs Blood Worms, upon seeing this crimson Blood Worm, prostrated on the ground, appearing both fearful and devout.
After the crimson Yellow Springs Blood Worm landed, the first thing it saw was Ye Fan, and then it crawled toward him!
Ye Fan extended his palm to the crimson Yellow Springs Blood Worm, which then obediently climbed into his hand, even nuzzling against the center of his palm!
In an instant, Ye Fan seemed to feel a consciousness transferring from the crimson Blood Worm into his body!
Hm?
Although it was still a Yellow Springs Blood Worm before his eyes, Ye Fan sensed that this particular worm seemed a bit extraordinary…
“I’ve done what I promised; now it’s your turn!” As Ye Fan spoke, his wrist swiftly performed the gestures in midair forming two Soul Contracts, binding with the Insect Emperor and Insect Queen, establishing a master-servant relationship!
From that point on, the Insect Emperor and Insect Queen, along with all the Yellow Springs Blood Worms, could only recognize Ye Fan as their master.
Moreover, if Ye Fan were to suffer an unexpected death, then the Insect Emperor and Insect Queen would also perish!
Linked in life and death, sharing a common destiny!
