Miao Wu ridiculously stared at Chen Mo and the others, and the corners of his eyes revealed a smile as he saw that all twelve cave experts around him had no offensive actions.
Miao Wu lightly snapped his fingers and summoned his subordinates. "Go up and catch them, don't let any of them escape," he said.
Although Tai Yan Mountain is surrounded at the moment, with Miao Wu as a guarantee, the members of the heavenly penalty know that they dare not act lightly. Their courage has suddenly increased, and they all charge towards Chen Mo and the others.
The crowd surges like a torrent, rushing towards them like a ferocious beast.
Chen Mo held the giant sword and fought back fiercely.
"Little Bean, we'll handle these people. As for Miao Wu, do you think you can capture him?"
Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the little bean.
Beforehand, among their group of Second Tier cultivators, the strongest one was Zhao Hu. He directly killed a First Tier with his Second Tier body.
But now, Zhao Hu has been held back by ten Second Tier experts, unable to spare himself, and also, he cannot defeat Miao Wu himself.
Now, their only hope is little bean.
"Brother, I promise you, if it were in the past, I would not dare to say this. But with the holy insect inside me, I am not afraid of him."
Little Bean's lips curled up slightly, and she lightly leaped over the crowd, arriving at Miao Wu's side.
"Oh? Interesting. You, a Second Tier insect master, dare to challenge me directly? Do you think you can beat me?"
Miao Wu playfully stared at Little Bean, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.
Although his information wasn't as extensive as a spider web, he still had ways to find out what had happened with the biggest force in Miao State - the Poison Caves.
For instance, when Xie Hong died, Little Bean took over as the leader of the Poison Caves.
For example, Little Bean had cleansed all remnants of those who supported Chi Hong, making the entire Poison Caves and even the Twelve Caves submit to her.
For example, the legendary holy insect that doesn't appear for a thousand years has already fallen into her hands.
He didn't know much about the holy insect, only that it appeared once every thousand years and that the last time it appeared, it caused a great stir.
However, during the time when the martial arts were flourishing on the continent of Jiuzhou, even with the appearance of the holy insect, no one was able to subdue it.
It was said that a First Tier Qi Wu tried to use it for himself, but in front of the holy insect, he had no defense and was used as nourishment by the holy insect alive.
After that, the holy insect became a taboo for many martial artists. They would avoid it at all costs.
The legendary holy insect has also disappeared from the scene since that incident.
Miao Wu faintly frowned, staring at Xiao Ding with a serious expression. But he saw that she gently raised one of her fingers, and at the tip of her finger, a strange-looking bug suddenly crawled out. After moving gently on her finger for a moment, it stopped.
Suddenly, white silk threads flew out, completely enveloping the body of the insect.
The faint aura, coupled with the eerie action, made Miao Wu involuntarily swallow his saliva. His hands moved rapidly, subtly channeling his spiritual energy.
"This is the holy insect? It doesn't seem very formidable."
Miao Wu said with a smile, with his hands behind his back, gathering all his strength in one palm.
The appearance of the holy insect left him with no room for complacency.
"This is the holy insect I obtained from that secret realm. It may not look very formidable on the surface, but actually, it has no combat power..."
Speaking, a white cocoon suddenly burst open on the tip of Little Bean's finger, and a colorful butterfly with nine colors emerged from its cocoon.
The wings fluttered gently, radiant with a touch of the eerie.
"The name of this bug is nine-colored dream phantasm. Although it's called a holy insect, the first among all insects, it's not really suitable for combat..."
Just as Little Bean's words were about to be finished, Miao Wu had already started. The hidden palm from behind him struck out fiercely. As Miao Wu was still speaking, he dealt a heavy blow.
In an instant, Little Bean's figure turned into countless nine-colored butterflies, flying around.
"This... what is this..."
Miao Wu's eyes immediately widened, staring in disbelief at the bizarre scene in front of him.
"However, my nine-colored dream phantasm is very fond of absorbing human spiritual power. As a compensation, it will create a wonderful dream for the person being absorbed."
Suddenly, countless nine-colored butterflies gathered behind Miao Wu, forming the shape of Little Bean once again, continuing to speak the unfinished words from before.
Sweat beaded on Miao Wu's forehead, and his face turned pale. A bad feeling surged through him, and he struck out with a palm towards the back.
The still-speaking Little Bean transformed once again into countless nine-colored butterflies.
"However, the dreams created by my nine-colored dream phantasm are just what it thinks is a wonderful dream. Whether the person experiencing the dream thinks so, I am not sure..."
The nine-colored butterflies flew to Miao Wu's front, forming the shape of Little Bean and standing in front of him just a few inches away. Her eyes held a hint of eeriness, especially the smile on her face, which seemed like... a nightmare...
"Die, give up!"
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"Get out, you just get out of here."
In the sky, terrifying voices could be heard.
All the Tianfu experts who had been fighting with Chen Mo and the others were taken aback. They couldn't help but look up towards the sky.
They saw Little Bean standing in mid-air, her small hand gently stroking the nine-colored butterfly on her finger.
In front of her, Miao Wu was frantically waving his hands, fighting the air with all his might. He occasionally let out desperate screams.
The bizarre scene left everyone in a state of confusion. The sight of Miao Wu behaving like he had gone mad was unsettling.
Little Bean turned around lightly, smiling and staring at Chen Mo, "Brother, he's already in the dream. He's about to collapse, it's only a matter of time..."
As Little Bean was speaking, she saw Miao Wu suddenly stop his hand movements, and then his body began to dissolve bit by bit in the air.
"This... what is this..."
Little Bean raised an eyebrow, and her expression turned somewhat ugly.
"His clone cannot withstand it and is about to collapse."
Chen Mo lightly shook his head, "The nine-colored dream phantasm's dream is too powerful. If it continues like this, it will definitely affect the body. Miao Wu is so smart, he won't let anything happen to his body. So, he dissolves his clone himself to protect his original body..."
At the same time, in a dark cave.
"Hu --"
Miao Wu took a heavy breath, his bare head covered in fine sweat beads. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with blood vessels.
"What is that thing? It's so terrifying..."
Miao Wu opened his mouth in fear, dared not to imagine. He just looked at the nine-colored dream phantasm once, and he was trapped in an infinite loop.
If he stayed in the dream, he felt that his original body might not be able to withdraw. He might not be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, he dissolved his clone the moment he realized what was happening.
Compared to killing Chen Mo and completing the task assigned by his master, he was more concerned about his own body.
Task failure at most would result in punishment, but if the original body was damaged, it would be impossible to recover for the rest of his life.
"The task to kill Chen Mo seems impossible to complete. He's too hard to kill. I, I'd better not make enemies with him. The Tianfu order is coming to an end, and it won't be easy to explain to my master. Well, I'll just leave this place and go elsewhere..."
Miao Wu stood up, his heart already decided on running away.
However, just as Miao Wu was about to leave, he saw a blue light flash by the entrance of the cave.
A water-blue figure, stepping lightly as if a ghost, was approaching him.
"Who are you...?"
Miao Wu retreated a few steps in terror.
"Isn't it just a few days? How could you forget me?"
Chu Ruomeng smiled and said.
"You, are you that Second Tier... No, no, you are the head of Tianji Pavilion"
Miao Wu exclaimed, his face as pale as death, "How could you find me here? How is that possible? How can you find here?"
"Do you think I didn't appear in Tai Yan mountain because of you?"
Chu Ruomeng took a step forward, waving her jade hand lightly, and suddenly nine brilliant arrays appeared in the dark cave.
"That's because, I've been looking for you the whole time."
