Upon hearing this, Li Potian shook his head in disbelief. "That's ridiculous! How could a human turn into a monster?"
"What Meng Wan said is true."
Young Master Jiao bowed slightly, his voice low and magnetic.
“Reporting to the elder, I personally witnessed Xiao Shenzi of the Divine Will Sect suddenly transform into a monster while I was in the fog.
Not only the disciples, but also Mu Xianzi from the Jinyun Sect, Li Xuanyi and Lin Qingyue from the Xuantian Sword Sect, and others, had witnessed this incident.
The elders subconsciously looked at Mu Xueyan, but saw that her face was a little pale and she nodded slightly.
"Yes, it was precisely because of this strange incident that Lin Qingyue and I had a disagreement and suggested leaving this place first."
The elders looked at each other again, their eyes full of surprise and suspicion.
Finally, Elder Xuanjizi spoke slowly, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.
"This matter is of no small importance. All Saints and Saint Daughters, please return to your respective caves and rest for the time being. We will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you an explanation."
Elder Qin Zhenshan also nodded and agreed, "That's right, you should go back first and don't wander around. If you find anything, report it immediately."
His eyes were serious as he scanned the people present, without looking at Meng Wan specifically.
But the revenge for Sun's murder will naturally not be let go easily.
Xiao Yi, Hua Li, Li Potian and others frowned. Although they were somewhat unwilling, they could only obey the orders of the elders.
"Yes, then I will go back first."
After everyone left, only the elders were left in the stone chamber.
After the elders discussed it, they began to carefully survey the surrounding traces.
Xuanjizi paced slowly, his eyes sharp as a torch, not missing any details.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the remaining spiritual energy fluctuations on the stone wall, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Fairy Wumeng squatted down, picked up a few broken stones on the ground, looked at them carefully, and looked thoughtful.
"The remaining spiritual energy fluctuations here are a bit strange. It seems that it is not a power that we are familiar with."
Elder Xuanjizi was the first to break the silence, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"If those youngsters weren't lying, the one who appeared here is most likely the legendary..."
He didn't finish his words, but his expression became more solemn, as if he had thought of something terrible.
Qin Zhenshan shook his head and interrupted him.
"It shouldn't be that. That thing is too rare, and every time it appears, it always causes disaster. We should wait and see before we can make a definitive conclusion."
The crowd surveyed the stone chamber carefully for a long time, from the floor to the walls, and then to the top, leaving almost no corner untouched.
As time went on, their faces became more and more gloomy, and the uneasiness in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
"This trace, this fluctuation..."
Elder Xuanjizi muttered to himself, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible. He pointed to a hidden corner where a broken insect wing remained.
"It seems that this is most likely the culprit."
Elder Qin Zhenshan's face changed drastically when he saw the insect wings clearly. "You mean, the Mist Insect Mother?"
Elder Xuanjizi nodded, his voice trembling. "It's most likely that it is. Moreover, this mist insect mother has probably reached the Golden Core Stage!"
Everyone looked unhappy.
With such a powerful Mist Insect Mother, it is no wonder that the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, who were carefully cultivated by the major sects, almost died here.
Even if they personally take action, they may fall flat on their face if they are not careful.
The mist worm mother itself does not have strong attack power, but the larvae it breeds can silently control the monks in a parasitic way, just like controlling a puppet.
Moreover, the larvae's parasitic method is extremely covert, and the infected person may not even notice it until he or she is parasitized.
If they had not realized that something was wrong and had not found a way to blow away some of the fog into this place in time, scaring away the Mist Insect Queen, I am afraid that all the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters would have been wiped out.
Thinking of this, Xuanjizi felt a chill on his back and cold sweat oozed from his palms.
The others also realized this and couldn't help but sigh, "What a blessing! Fortunately, we old guys arrived in time, otherwise it would have caused a disaster."
"Yes, this mist insect mother is indeed a strange ancient insect, it is extremely ferocious!"
"Everyone! The Dark Mist Insect Mother is ranked sixth on the Ancient Strange Insect List. If the cultivators of the world knew that the Dark Mist Insect Mother had appeared in the world, it would surely cause a bloody storm in the world of cultivation.
This matter must not be made public."
Elder Xuanjizi looked around and said in a deep voice.
"The Phantom Mist Worm Queen's whereabouts are elusive and extremely difficult to capture. If word gets out, who knows how many other forces will intervene and take advantage of the situation."
"Xuanjizi's words make sense."
Fairy Wu Meng echoed, "Except for the Saint Son and Saint Daughter who participated in this matter, no one else can reveal a single detail."
The elders reached a consensus and decided to keep the matter strictly confidential.
After the elders returned to their respective sect headquarters, they immediately summoned the holy sons and daughters of their sect and gave them instructions in person.
Fairy Wu Meng returned to the Xuanyin Sect’s headquarters and informed Meng Wan, Qing Yu, Li Potian, and Xuan Ji about the matter.
"The Mist Insect Queen has been scared away, so you don't have to worry too much.
You've worked hard during this period, so you can take a good rest for a while. If you're bored, you can go to the market and have a look. You might find some treasures there."
After Fairy Wumeng left, Li Potian scratched his hair irritably and complained.
"This is really weird! Why is it that I'm the only one being targeted by that Mist Worm Queen when there are four of us traveling together? This feeling is really unpleasant!"
She clenched her fists, her joints crackling. After a long time, she suppressed the irritation in her heart and turned to look at Qingyu and Meng Wan.
"A lot of monks have come to the market. I heard there are a lot of good things. Do you want to go?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Wan refused without even raising her eyelids.
"No. I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Qingyu also shook his head. "There are too many people in the market. I won't join in the fun."
Xuan Ji didn't say anything, but you could tell with your toes that he would definitely not go.
Li Potian curled his lips and looked at Qingyu with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Qingyu, when did you become Meng Wan's follower? If she doesn't go, you won't go either? That's so boring! Forget it, I'll go alone."
After she finished speaking, she didn't bother to deal with these people anymore and strode out of the room.
After Li Potian left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Qingyu looked at Meng Wan with a low voice.
"Meng Wan, when I cast my spell, you and Xuan Ji left me behind. Where did you go?"
Meng Wan sighed and said a little aggrievedly.
"As soon as we left the stone chamber, we were trapped in a nine-curve spiral formation. After making the wrong move several times and suffering a lot, I no longer dared to act rashly."
