Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 218: Let Bygones Be Bygones

??

Seeing this, the other disciples poured their spiritual power into the formation.

A dazzling new star seemed to have risen in the southeast direction. This was the core of the formation. As long as the core of the formation was not broken, the formation would not disappear.

Seeing that the dimmed Mountain Defense Formation had regained its previous brightness, the only difference was that it looked insignificant and dull under the dense swarm of insects.

Even with the strength of all the people of Moyu Tower, they would not be able to hold on for long. Everyone knew that this was only a temporary measure. Their spiritual power would be exhausted and could not be transmitted endlessly.

The sound of gnawing outside was incessant, causing goosebumps to appear on everyone’s skin. It was a sign that their fates were about to arrive.

All of this was because of Zhou Haozhe! His actions just now had indeed angered the Insect Tide.

Zhou Haozhe, who knew that he had caused a great disaster, did not dare to say anything else. He stammered, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Even Li Junyan, who had always been as gentle as jade, was furious. He said sharply, “Junior Brother Zhou, now everyone is going to die because of your impulsive actions!”

Fang Qingshan could not help but sigh. “Forget it. Since things have come to this, it’s useless to blame him. Junyan, you should quickly lead some of the disciples and evacuate.”

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Fang Qingshan would not give this order. If it was known that the people of Moyu Tower had abandoned their own sect because of a bunch of bugs, they would be ridiculed by the world.

From then on, Moyu Tower would never be able to raise its head again. However, faced with such a powerful swarm of bugs, there was nothing they could do. They could not just leave these disciples to die.

As long as they smelled the scent of a living person, these Winged Golden Black Bugs would gnaw until only bones were left. Although Moyu Tower had a secret room to hide in, Fang Qingshan did not want to take the risk.

Even the Mountain Defense Formation that had stood for a hundred years could not withstand it, let alone other formations.

“What about you, Master?”

“Until the absolute last moment, I can not leave!”

Even if there was still a sliver of hope, Fang Qingshan still wanted to stay behind and give it a try. It was hard to say if the swarm of bugs would leave on their own, the probability was very small.

“Master, it’s too dangerous for you to do this! If the Insect Tide breaks through the great Mountain Defense Formation, when the time comes, wouldn’t it be –”

Li Junyan did not finish his sentence. Even if a great Immortal came, it would not be easy for him to hold on.

“You don’t have to persuade me. I’ve already decided. If I run away now, I’m afraid that people will really stab me in the spine in the future. They will think that the people ofMoyu Tower are all cowards.”

“However, if you survive, you can carry on our legacy. Moreover, the Insect Tide will only cause harm to the cultivators’ animals and plants. We’ll just wait until the Insect Tide has passed before we return. If something happens to you, Master, what will Moyu Tower do in the future?”

Although this was the truth, there were some bottom lines that could not be broken.

Fang Qingshan had made up his mind to stay until the last moment. He had made up his mind, and no matter how the crowd tried to dissuade him, it would be useless.

“Junyan, you are my most valued eldest disciple. Don’t let me down. Don’t waste your time here. Hurry up and lead your junior brothers away. I have my own ways.”

Seeing this, Li Junyan did not say anything else. He just looked at Fang Qingshan deeply and said, “Take care, Master.”

Li Junyan led a part of his disciples away. Without their spiritual power, the light of the formation dimmed again under the overwhelming tide of insects, like a candle flickering in the wind. It was in danger of being extinguished at any time.

Seeing this, Fang Qingshan had no choice but to increase his spiritual power to fill in the gaps in their formation, in case the winged golden black bugs found a loophole. The powerful continuous output made his face a little pale.

The power of the formation was activated again.

Hum–

Along with the melodious sound of contention, the ancient power spread out along with the light of the formation, like a huge storm on the calm sea surface, and the defensive mechanism of the formation was activated again.

As the golden light spread out, countless Winged Golden Black Bugs fell down. The scene looked very spectacular. Although the scene outside could not be seen clearly, the pile of Winged Golden Black Bugs must be at least one foot thick.

Even so, the number of Winged Golden Black Bugs on top of their heads did not decrease by much. They came one after another in an endless stream, even several times more than before.

Seeing this scene, Fang Qingshan’s heart instantly sank. Just how large was this swarm of insects? At this moment, he could not help but feel glad that some of the disciples had left.

“Master, we feel that we can’t hold on much longer...”

Many of the disciples’ faces were slightly pale, and they looked exhausted. Fang Qingshan’s current condition was not much better.

“Master, let’s go. Eldest Brother is right. If we survive, we can rebuild. If this continues, I’m afraid we’ll really have to die here.”

The crowd vaguely heard the cracking sounds. The swarm of insects must have found a breakthrough. Seeing this, Fang Qingshan could only say, “Everyone, be careful. If we don’t inject our spiritual power, this great Mountain Defense Formation won’t last long.”

As soon as he said this, the disciples gathered their spiritual power. However, at some point, a small black fog slipped in from the weakest part of the formation and suddenly swept toward Fang Qingshan.

“Master!”

The other disciples’ eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Fang Qingshan did not have time to react. At this critical moment, the white spiritual power surrounded and protected him. Fang Qinyu looked at the dangerous scene in front of her and rushed forward without caring about anything.

“Father, are you okay?”

Fortunately, the Insect Tide seemed to have been fixed in place by something and did not continue to attack. Otherwise, Fang Qinyu’s power alone would not have been able to resist it.

After seeing who it was, Fang Qingshan’s eyes went black and he almost fainted from anger. “Damn it! Who told you to come here? The Insect Tide is coming. Do you know how dangerous this place is?!”
