Chapter 499: Chapter 497: A Two-headed Void Nine-headed Insect Appears in the Northern Territory! All Innate Grandmasters Fall... Will Lu Ye Take Action?

"It’s nothing, it’s simple. When given the chance, no one wants to always be the villain." Hearing this, Lu Ye showed a slight smile.

Since they are people from the Nine Nether Realm, they naturally know that the Nine Nether Empress is the only legitimate ruler.

Now that there’s an opportunity to serve the legitimate ruler, how could anyone not seize it if they have the inclination?

Youluo doesn’t understand the complexities within.

She just feels that despite learning her master’s husband’s tactics, it’s different when she uses it.

"You can arrange for these two people to search for others from the same realm in the Northern Territory," Lu Ye said. "I believe they have ways to identify who belongs to the Nine Nether Realm."

Her eyes brightened slightly, Youluo said, "That’s indeed a good idea."

"By the way, what were you doing earlier, master husband? I sent you a message; I thought you didn’t receive it."

Suddenly remembering something, Youluo asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lu Ye laughed, "Cultivating, kids shouldn’t ask too much."

Youluo nodded, showing a hint of admiration; her master husband was too diligent in cultivation, far beyond her own ability to compare.

"Youluo should go back and cultivate," she thought, as she put the black robe back on.

As for cooking, she had done it not too long ago.

So Youluo felt she wasn’t in the mood now, but she still remembered the powerless feeling from the last battle.

She didn’t want to face such situations again, knowing she just needed to put in a little more effort to wear down some restrictions to regain more strength and realm.

After saying this, Youluo immediately headed towards the distant City of Chaos.

Watching Youluo’s unusual behavior, Lu Ye nodded for the rare occasion.

"She seems to have become much more diligent suddenly; I just wonder how long this enthusiasm can last."

After watching Youluo leave, Lu Ye didn’t linger long. He had rushed over due to receiving an urgent message from Youluo.

In fact, he was still racing against time to cultivate now.

Surveying the scenery around him, thinking about it, Lu Ye decided not to return to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range immediately.

Instead, he planned to find a cave nearby to cultivate for a while.

In case the two newly recruited members from the Nine Nether Realm with Youluo encountered issues, it would save him from having to rush back to check on them.

Moments later, Lu Ye, who was very experienced in finding caves, successfully found a small cave in a mountain range.

...

Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

Jiang Qingge had finished cooking and called Jiang Lingyue to eat.

"Where’s brother-in-law? Shouldn’t we wait for him?" Jiang Lingyue looked around and didn’t see Lu Ye, asking curiously.

"He mentioned earlier that he had something to do and might not be back right away, telling us not to wait for him," Jiang Qingge explained.

Jiang Lingyue blinked; he’s gone out again?

On the other side.

This retreat lasted about four to five days.

The Source Crystals Lu Ye had collected earlier were consumed at an alarming rate.

While Lu Ye was in retreat, a terrifying bug suddenly appeared in a small town at the edge of the Northern Territory.

This bug was extremely ugly, with several holes on its head, looking unsettling.

With two heads exuding an evil aura, within just one hour of arrival, it devoured many people in the town.

This moment turned the town into a living hell, with people fleeing in terror.

Such significant news quickly spread throughout the Northern Territory.

Some cultivators wanted to go and eradicate the monster, but... they were no match!

Neither those of the Innate Realm nor the revered Grandmasters could withstand it; they all became fodder.

Only then did people realize that this terrifying two-headed worm was like a demon from Hell!

Totally irresistible.

"Where on earth did this monster come from? The Innate Realm isn’t its match; two from the Grandmaster Realm have fallen... Who can stop it?"

"At this rate, won’t our Northern Territory be devoured by it... I’m moving away, the Northern Territory is too frightening."

Half a day later, such discussions were almost ubiquitous across the Northern Territory.

Many spoke with desperate helplessness in their words.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the once mighty Innate Realm couldn’t even approach the terrifying creature, vanishing as soon as its worm body curled around them.

And the more powerful Martial Arts Grandmaster met the same fate...

When the news reached the City of Chaos, Youluo within the Youluo Sect was instantly startled to her feet.

"A two-headed worm is rampaging in the Northern Territory?!"

This two-headed worm sounded like the Void Nine-headed Insect previously slain together with her master husband in a certain canyon.

However, when initially killed, it was still in one-headed form, comparable to a Mortal Realm Grandmaster.

Now, it had grown into two-headed... Even an Earth Realm Grandmaster couldn’t match it!

Moreover, an ordinary Earth Realm Grandmaster might only protect themselves and not possess the capability to slay it.

Thinking about this, Youluo didn’t act rashly this time but directly sent a message over to Lu Ye.

The two Mortal Realm Grandmasters from the Nine Nether Realm were a bit numb now.

This place, despite its thin Source Qi, didn’t seem like a good place at a glance.

Yet, they not only saw the living Earth Realm Grandmaster level figures, but now they also heard...

There’re extremely rare Void Nine-headed Insects that have grown to two heads, rampaging in the Northern Territory?!

That thing, even a long time ago, wasn’t common; how could it appear in this small place?

"Alright, you don’t need to worry about this matter. When the time comes, someone will naturally take action."

In the main hall of the sect, besides the two figures from the Nine Nether Realm, there were many elders too. Youluo in her black robe waved her hand, indicating for them not to worry.

Then she glanced again at the Communication Jade Token...

Well, still no reply yet.

At this moment, Lu Ye was still deep in his retreat, unknowingly advancing his realm up towards the Earth Realm Fifth Layer through his hard work and hundredfold amplification.

Finally, after half a day...

Lu Ye opened his eyes, a gust of wind stirred in the cave, blowing all the surrounding dust into the air.

"Hoo..."

Exhaling a turbid breath, Lu Ye noticed the Communication Jade Token in his Storage Ring was glowing lightly; someone had sent a message.

Taking it out, upon receiving it, Lu Ye’s expression slightly changed.

"What... a two-headed Void Nine-headed Insect has appeared in the Northern Territory?!"

Having fought this thing once, Lu Ye knew it was indeed a bit troublesome.

But now, Lu Ye could not possibly let it run rampant in the Northern Territory unchecked.

[I’m going to deal with it.]
