Lin Ke listened to the two women talking from the shadows, his suspicions confirmed.
The Dali Domain Imperial Clan did not consider the various sects their own people at all.
There were so many spatial rifts in the Myriad Insect Abyss, yet they had deliberately teleported the cultivators to the most dangerous place at the bottom of the cavern.
Was their intention to weaken the various sects and preserve the Imperial Clan's standing?
The tall female cultivator leaped up and clung to the enormous insect mother's back.
The dagger in her hand plunged in and out.
A section of the insect mother's body was sliced open.
Blue blood churned inside, along with bobbing bone fragments.
The woman twisted her blade again.
A bone fragment came loose from the insect mother.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."
The spine-shaped insect mother let out a scalp-prickling cry.
Like a massive ocean liner running aground, it made their eardrums ache.
Dozens of Golden Core Stage Bone-Eroding Insects swarmed over from every direction in the cavern.
Clearly prepared, the tall woman poured all her pure spirit power into the bone fragment.
The bone fragment immediately began to emit an almost imperceptible vibration.
Fine, sticky nerve tissue extended from the bone fragment and burrowed into the tall woman's palm.
Crimson blood slowly flowed toward the bone fragment, gradually causing it to adhere to her meridians and flesh.
There was a buzz.
All the Bone-Eroding Insects stopped where they were, advancing no farther.
Seeing this, the tall woman poured a few more wisps of spiritual energy into the bone fragment.
In an instant, the dozens of Bone-Eroding Insects turned and charged toward Lin Ke.
"Who's skulking over there?"
"Show yourself at once!"
Lin Ke was slightly taken aback.
After a moment's thought, he understood how he had been exposed.
