“This is the Silent Golden Cicada?”
Everyone looked at the small creature in Wu Bingyun’s hand, somewhat incredulous. It was hard to believe that such a tiny creature could be the natural enemy of the Mind-Control Gu.
“What should we do next?”
Shui Xianlan looked at Wu Bingyun and asked.
Clearly, everyone was considering the same question at the moment: with just this one Silent Golden Cicada, would they be able to deal with so many Mind-Control Gu?
Wu Bingyun evidently understood the thoughts of everyone.
She continued, “As I mentioned earlier, as long as the Mind-Control Gu affected by the special frequency emitted by the Silent Golden Cicada, they will lose all mobility in an instant.
So.
Next, as long as I take it and walk around those controlled cultivators, it will make those controlled people stop moving.”
Wu Bingyun’s method, to be honest, was the simplest and most effective.
The only thing to be careful of was to ensure her safety once the opponents realized this.
“In that case, let me and Fellow Daoist Cloud Wind go with you to give it a try.”
Su Qingchan looked at Wu Bingyun and Perfected Lord Nether Star.
“I wonder what the two of you think?”
Upon hearing Su Qingchan’s proposal, Wu Bingyun and Perfected Lord Nether Star had no objections.
In fact.
They came here specifically to solve the current situation.
Of course.
If there was a chance, they wouldn’t mind killing some cultivators from the Eastern and Central Plain to seek revenge for their fellow disciples.
Soon.
Wu Bingyun, Perfected Lord Nether Star, Su Qingchan and Perfected Lord Wind Cloud flew out of the range of the battle fortress and appeared around the captive cultivators.
Buzz!
As soon as they appeared, the wings of the Silent Golden Cicada in Wu Bingyun’s hand lightly shook.
In the next moment, a silent frequency spread rapidly.
Those Southern Wilderness captive cultivators, who were rushing towards them and the war fortress in a suicidal manner, suddenly froze in unison.
Then, the cultivators began to rain down like dumplings, plop plop plop, continuously falling.
They were all captured by the cultivators that Jiang Anran and the others had arranged here in advance.
Just in this short period, nearly a quarter of the Southern Wilderness captive cultivators in this area were affected by the Silent Golden Cicada.
Moreover, this trend was rapidly increasing as Wu Bingyun swiftly flew over the battlefield.
In the distance.
The Eastern End and Central Plain cultivators who were closely monitoring the situation finally noticed something was wrong.
They watched as the Southern Wilderness captive cultivators fell uncontrollably, and their eyes widened in astonishment.
Especially those who refined Mind-Control Gu and were responsible for manipulating a portion of the cultivators felt clearly that the connection between themselves and those Mind-Control Gu was severed.
“What… what is going on? Why is the connection between me and those
Mind-Control Gu gone? Can someone tell me what is happening?”
Someone exclaimed.
When all the Southern Wilderness captive cultivators they sent out were completely defeated, it finally alarmed many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators present, with Crown Prince Xiao Longtian being the leader.
Although he was only at the eighth level of Nascent Soul, his status and prestige among the others were the highest.
As he listened to everyone’s reports, his expression darkened.
Perfected Lord Thunder Law from the Eastern Three Suns Sect, after looking at those who spoke, turned to Crown Prince Xiao Longtian and said,
“Your Highness, this matter is indeed suspicious.
If we don’t figure out the situation, even if we send the rest of the Southern Wilderness captives over again, they might not come back.”
Upon hearing his words, Chu Guanglie from the Eastern End Chu Family nodded.
“That’s right, the first thing we need to do is to figure out the situation. Why have those people suddenly ended up like this?”
“I think I might know what’s going on.”
At this moment, a cultivator from the Gate of Arcane Runes in Central Plain spoke, furrowing his brows.
The Gate of Arcane Runes that this person was from was also a Soul Formation Sect in the Central Plain.
He was also known as one of the people with the highest chance of breaking through to the Soul Formation in the Gate of Arcane Runes.
His name was Perfected Lord Yong Shan.
He looked at everyone and continued, “If my guess is correct, those people, or more precisely, the Mind-Control Gu in their bodies, should have encountered its natural enemy.”
“Encountered its natural enemy?”
Upon hearing Yong Shan’s words, not only Perfected Lord Thunder Law and Chu Guanglie but even Crown Prince Xiao Longtian showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
“That makes sense.”
Perfected Lord Yong Shan nodded.
“As far as I know, the natural enemy of Mind-Control Gu is the fifteenth-ranked bizarre insect, the Silent Golden Cicada.
Once the Mind-Control Gu encounters the Silent Golden Cicada, they will lose all mobility and become things that can be slaughtered at will.”
“Silent Golden Cicada?”
Upon hearing this name, Prince Xiao Tianlong and others couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Clearly, with their knowledge, they had heard of such strange insects.
But the problem was, who in the current alliance of the Western Desert and Northern Border possessed the Silent Golden Cicada?
Mind-Control Gu was such a secret insect; how did those people know about it? Was it really just a coincidence?
As if reading the thoughts of Xiao Longtian and the others, Perfected Lord Yong Shan thought for a moment and said,
“To find out who among them possesses the Silent Golden Cicada is rather simple.
We just need to carefully observe for a while and see whose influence over the Mind-Control Gu is the most significant. That person is likely the one holding the Silent Golden Cicada.
Our task is then to either seize the Silent Golden Cicada, kill it, or eliminate the person holding it.
Only by doing so can we permanently resolve the issue of their Mind-Control Gu affecting us.”
“That makes sense.”
After hearing Perfected Lord Yong Shan’s words, Crown Prince Xiao Longtian could not help but nod in agreement.
“In that case, I entrust you with full authority for the next steps.
Once you discover the person holding the Silent Golden Cicada, you, along with Thunder Law and Fellow Daoist Chu, must immediately take action. Strive to kill the person holding the Silent Golden Cicada in the shortest time possible.” “Yes!” The response was prompt.
With that said, their side dispatched several dozen warships once again, each filled with captive cultivators from the Southern Wilderness.
All of these captives shared the common trait of being implanted with Mind-Control Gu.
As the dozens of battleships flew over again, Wu Bingyun, Perfected Lord Nether Star, Su Qingchan, Perfected Lord Wind Cloud and the others narrowed their eyes immediately.
Su Qingchan spoke, “Fellow Daoist Wu, the people from the Eastern End and Central Plain have likely discovered the abnormality.
However, they are still sending a large number of Southern Wilderness captive cultivators. I suspect they may already have a clue as to why those captives are out of control.
The reason why they are still doing this is probably to find you.
To be cautious, let’s stick together.
This way, we can confuse them, making it difficult for them to discern who is actually holding the cicada. Also, we can ensure your safety at all times.”
Su Qingchan’s suggestion received unanimous agreement from those present.
At this moment, the four of them acted together.
Under the unique frequency emitted by the Silent Golden Cicada, those Southern Wilderness captive cultivators sent to them were quickly “captured” once again.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Longtian, Perfected Lord Thunder Law, and Perfected Lord Yong Shan, who were in the distance, frowned slightly.
Xiao Longtian spoke coldly, “It seems that things are indeed as Fellow Daoist Yong Shan speculated.
Among those people, there is indeed someone who possesses the
Mind-Control Gu’s natural enemy, the Silent Golden Cicada.”
He then looked towards Yong Shan and asked,
“How is it? Have you figured out who among those individuals possesses the Silent Golden Cicada?”
Upon hearing Xiao Longtian’s question, Perfected Lord Yong Shan, who was closely observing the situation in the distance, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy voice,
“Your Highness, I think I already know who holds the Silent Golden Cicada among them.”
“Huh?”
His words immediately drew the attention of Xiao Longtian and Perfected Lord Thunder Law.
Yong Shan nodded and said, “Crown Prince, do you still remember that on that day, when we were in the Supreme Celestial Sect, we did not find the personal disciple of Scripture Abyss?”
“Um, are you saying?”
The expressions of Xiao Longtian and the others could not help but change.
“Could it be…?”
“That’s right.”
Yong Shan nodded and said, “I have identified the personal disciple of Scripture Abyss and a cultivator from the Ice Jade Palace among those people.
Although they have made disguises in appearance and aura, it is still unlikely for them to deceive my discerning eyes.
Now, I am very certain that the person holding the Silent Golden Cicada must be the cultivator from the Ice Jade Palace or Nether Star.”
“Fellow Daoist Thunder Law, Fellow Daoist Chu…”
After hearing Yong Shan’s words, Xiao Longtian immediately looked towards Perfected Lord Thunder Law and Chu Guanglie.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you for the rest.
While they are still not fully prepared, I hope you can thoroughly deal with these two.
Similarly, I believe, with your strength, taking care of those two individuals should not be too difficult..”
