The sword is named "Feihong," and so is its master.

The man who had slain the Insect King in the sky was none other than Feihong True Person, a Sword Cultivator at the peak of the mid Nascent Soul Stage.

Although he hadn’t reached the late Nascent Soul Stage, with the Feihong sword in hand and his superb Sword Control Technique, Feihong True Person’s attacks were even sharper than those of the average late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

He had even fought against several late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, establishing his position in the Cultivation World with his actual combat strength.

This time, in the encirclement and slaying of the Insect King, Feihong True Person was the real trump card on the side of the Human Clan Cultivators.

He had been lying in ambush underground early on, led by a Cultivator who was proficient in earth-escape techniques and who was at the early Nascent Soul Stage, following the movements of the Insect King.

Striking as the Insect King was about to touch the ground was a well-premeditated move.

And the result now undoubtedly showed that the plan was extremely successful.

In front of Feihong True Person’s long-prepared astonishing sword strike, even a formidable being like the Insect King had no chance of resisting and was killed on the spot without any effort to defend itself.

At this moment, glancing at the lifeless body of the Insect King on the ground, all the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators present couldn’t help but let out a huge sigh of relief, smiles finally appearing on their faces.

The red-haired old man who was at the late Nascent Soul Stage appeared above the Insect King’s body in a flash.

Then, with a smile on his face, he praised Feihong True Person, "Feihong fellow cultivator is truly deserving of the title as the First Sword of Tianling. Even the Insect King meeting its end under your sword cannot be considered unjust!"

In response to the red-haired old man’s praise, Feihong True Person merely replied indifferently, "Ziyan fellow cultivator flatters me too much. In the Tianling Region, there are many Sword Cultivators. How could Feihong possess the capability or virtue to dare to claim the title of the first?"

Then, glancing at the deceased Insect King, he continued calmly, "As for this Insect King, it was merely an insect after all. Once you all had clipped its wings, it was no longer to be feared. What difficulty was there in killing it!"

This unpretentious and humble demeanor deeply moved Ziyan True Person, the red-haired old man.

No wonder he was able to cultivate sword control to such an extraordinary level.

Those mediocre Sword Cultivators, who only shouted about how Sword Cultivation should be unyielding, should have ambitions to look down upon everything, and should dare to draw their swords against any being.

They didn’t understand that a truly powerful Sword Cultivator only exhibited these traits when they drew their swords.

At other times, a Sword Cultivator should be like a sheathed sword, unshowy and unconcerned with empty fame.

Feihong True Person was undoubtedly such a powerful Sword Cultivator, who had truly grasped the essence of swordsmanship.

Following that, several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators collected the Insect King’s body, and then they split up to pursue and kill the fleeing swarm of insects.

Now that the Insect King was dead, the swarm was headless; it was the perfect time to pursue the victory and maximize the gains.

Thus, three days quickly passed.

In just these short three days, the insect plague ravaging Yang Kingdom was eradicated, with over half its numbers destroyed, including the Insect King, who perished under the sword of Feihong True Person.

Under the leadership of human Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators like Ziyan True Person and Feihong True Person, the human nations achieved a great victory.

But the war was not over, and the disaster was far from ended.

The surviving Demon Insects had already started wreaking havoc within the borders of Glory Country.

They devoured everything they could eat with frenzy, whether it was plants, trees, wild animals, ore, or even humans—anything that could benefit their growth was not spared.

And after their hunger was satisfied, they began mating and laying eggs, depositing them deep underground.

In less than a month, the eggs would hatch into larvae.

At the same time, the high-ranking Demon Insects within the swarm started to slaughter each other for the throne of the Insect King, the losers becoming nourishment for the victor’s path to kinghood.

The tragedy once experienced by Yang Kingdom was now being repeated within the borders of Glory Country.

To avoid the catastrophe of Yang Kingdom from happening again, the army of Cultivators previously intercepting the migrating swarm remained in Glory Country to exterminate the insects.

They, too, roamed in groups within Glory Country, destroying any insect nest they found in an attempt to contain the growth of the insect population.

This may have been only a temporary solution, but it did have an effect, though it was uncertain how long it could last.

Meanwhile, in the Marketplace of Dayun Nation, when Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde learned of Glory Country’s victory, they too were sincerely delighted.

Although they assessed that the insect plague was unlikely to threaten the Zhou Family, having witnessed the devastation within Yang Kingdom’s borders, as members of the Human Clan, they truly hoped for the insect plague to end soon.

After their joy had subsided, Zhou Mingde quickly said, "Now that the Insect King is dead, and a large number of high-ranking Demon Insects are destroyed, with the main force of the swarm having migrated to Glory Country, the number of Demon Insects within Yang Kingdom has sharply decreased, and most of those remaining are weak or injured."

"This may be the ideal opportunity for us to delve into Yang Kingdom’s territory and search for something that can suppress the Demon Insects!"

Zhou Chun understood his meaning.

Just like the common saying that within seven steps of a poisonous snake, an antidote can be found, the places infested by those Demon Insects might also have something that could suppress them.

This is the principle of Heavenly Balance in the lexicon of Cultivation.

Even the birth of the insect plague, in the eyes of many Cultivators, is believed to be a disaster sent by the will of the Heavenly Balance to maintain the equilibrium of nature.
