Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 15082 I finally found you

Ling Xiao never felt there was anything wrong with relying on others. If he lacked the strength, and there were clearly more powerful friends or backers, why wouldn't he use them? Not using them would be foolish.

If it weren't for Xiao Fen by his side this time, he would have seriously considered whether to enter this Evil Insect Palace, since it was just too dangerous.

Now that we have Xiaofen, even if we encounter situations that we can't handle on our own, they can be dealt with.

"Little Pink, be careful. Who knows what else is inside? If you encounter anything, just do it without asking me!"

Ling Xiao gave her some special instructions. He found that Xiao Fen could always detect threats before he could, and if they waited for his orders to act, it would be too late.

Little Pink nodded, its whole body emitting a dazzling red light, and walked in front to lead the way for Ling Xiao. It even deliberately made itself the target, so that no matter what was inside, Little Pink would be the first to discover it and the first to attack it.

This little rabbit is really too good to him.

The Evil Insect Palace was indeed much larger than I had imagined; it must be a separate space, similar to the Demon Needle Space.

Its area is roughly the size of a city.

The palace walls were engraved with all sorts of sacred symbols, exuding an eerie aura, as if countless insects were crawling across them.

A rustling sound came from the dark corner. Although it was hard to see clearly, the palace must be teeming with creepy insects.

Ling Xiao endured his physical discomfort and continued walking forward. After walking for more than an hour, he arrived at a grand hall.

There was a man dressed in black in the center of the main hall.

The man sat upright and motionless.

Its body had almost no muscles; it was practically skin and bones, with its skin clinging to the bones, giving it an extremely abnormal, pale white appearance.

Around his body was what appeared to be a massive array of sacred runes, with various sacred runes intertwined, trapping the man within the array.

"Sister Xia Ming, is this a dead person?"

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"I don't know. I can't sense any life force. It may have been dead for many years. But this holy rune array is a bit strange."

Xia Ming said.

"Wait, why do I feel like this guy still has a breath left? This sacred rune array looks like the 'Hundred Insect Immortal Array.' This guy usually disperses his life and soul into the bodies of countless insects, but he can retrieve them at any time through this array if he wants!"

Ling Xiao shook his head. He was actually more skilled than Xia Ming in terms of Saint Runes.

"You know perfectly well whether he's dead or alive, why are you asking me?"

Xia Ming said irritably.

"I'm just not sure, so I wanted to ask for your opinion, Sister Xia Ming. After all, this is the first time I've ever seen this thing. I can't believe someone can do this. What do you think would happen if I learned this Sacred Rune Array and inherited the Evil Insect King's legacy?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said.

"Wouldn't that make it a monster?"

Xia Ming thought about it and felt goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't stand insects the most.

"Can't you two give me some face? You've exposed all my secrets in front of me, isn't that enough?"

Just then, the man in black spoke.

His voice was hoarse and aged, giving him the air of a reclusive sage.

Suddenly, Xiao Fen bared her teeth and stared intently at the man in black, her killing intent erupting.

"Little rabbit, don't be so hostile. I won't do anything to harm you."

That hoarse voice rang out again.

This time, Ling Xiao did see that the voice was coming from the man in black, but the man in black did not open his mouth.

"Who exactly are you? Did you wait until we were about to enter? Or are you the Evil Insect King, the master of this Evil Insect Palace?"

Ling Xiao stared intently at the man in black and asked.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you came here for the sake of inheritance, and I can pass on the inheritance to you. That is enough!"

The man in black continued.

Ling Xiao frowned. He came here for the Demon Sect's inheritance, but the fact that the other party gave it to him so easily made him suspicious.

"Heh, there are at least seven or eight thousand demonic cultivators who have entered this place, if not ten thousand. I've never heard of anyone being able to take away an inheritance so easily. Don't try to fool me with these words. Tell me, what do I have to give up to get the inheritance?"

Ling Xiao sneered.

Xia Ming teased, "You're a chosen one, always getting all sorts of good things. People are practically handing over their inheritances to you, and you're already starting to doubt them? I'm envious."

Ling Xiao ignored Xia Ming's sarcasm and continued to look at the man in black: "Tell me the answer. I don't think I'm some kind of chosen one, or that I have anything to do with you. I've never believed that good things will fall from the sky and hit me!"

"If there is, then there will definitely be a price to pay!"

The man in black laughed: "Hahaha, you don't need to be so nervous. The reason I'm giving you the inheritance is simply because you are exceptionally talented and also possess the inheritance of the Demon Lord. You are naturally qualified to receive my inheritance!"

"I bear the legacy of the Demon Lord? How come I didn't know that? And I have extraordinary talent, where did you get that from? I didn't even realize it myself."

Ling Xiao said calmly.

The man in black laughed: "That's easy. I am an avatar of the Evil Insect King. In fact, I had already seen you and observed you closely before you entered this place. So I naturally understand your situation. You don't need to be so careful. This inheritance was originally left for you."

Ling Xiao frowned even more deeply.

Good heavens, the Evil Insect King had been watching him the whole time without him noticing. This was really too dangerous. Although he had been searching for the Evil Insect King's legacy, the feeling of being watched was still very unpleasant.

“You seem confused, but there’s no need to be. We old guys are all looking for our successors in order to revive the Demon Sect in the future. The fact that you were able to successfully obtain the inheritance of the Evil Spirit King and others proves that you’re still quite capable.”

"Furthermore, do you really think just anyone can discover the Evil Insect King? Only those who possess the aura of the Evil Insect King can enter this place. This means you had some kind of connection with the Evil Insect King before. I don't know the specifics of that connection, but it's definitely there. You should know that yourself, right?"

The man in black continued speaking.

Ling Xiao frowned even more deeply.

If it's true that he's related to the Evil Insect King, then it's not untrue. After all, there's an Evil Insect Palace in the Demon Needle Space within his body. Although the Evil Insect King hasn't fully recovered yet, it's normal to say that he's related to the Evil Insect King.

He knew it! Why didn't Hong Meng mention the Evil Insect King? It seems every demonic cultivator encounters different things after entering this place, and even the places they enter are different. (End of Chapter)
