I discriminate against the insect swarm, this was the only thought in Master Cheng's mind at the moment.

The types of the swarm were not singular, besides some unidentifiable tiny bugs, the vast majority comprised only two types.

One was "black long straight," which means mosquitoes.

The other was "twin-tail," which means cockroaches.

Although for some reason, these little cuties appeared somewhat different than their usual species, looking more slender, balanced, and handsome.

But some facts remain unchanged.

They are bugs.

Everyone present turned pale.

Master Cheng facing the enemy was no exception.

When a few of these incoming little cuties flew into Master Cheng's mouth, he was visibly caught off guard.

He instinctively pressed his lips together.

Not quite sure what he pressed, but in any case, a burst of pure Spiritual Qi dissolved in his mouth shortly after.

Although this mouthful of Spiritual Qi was harmless, the thought of where it came from made Master Cheng's stomach churn, bitter taste filling his mouth.

Perhaps this is destiny.

Master Cheng recalled the mud huts of his childhood and remembered the stove where the twin-tails always popped up.

"Ugh!"

Master Cheng eventually threw up.

But vomiting aside, the pests still needed to be exterminated.

Master Cheng grasped his hand, and Golden Thunder descended. The lightning appeared sentient, avoiding everyone present and directly locked onto each little bug.

In just an instant, they were all obliterated.

The swarm that had appeared like a dark cloud seemed to be an illusion, leaving not even a trace in the air.

Junior Sister hid behind Zhang Ze, while patting her sleeves, fearing that one of those little cuties had crawled into her clothes.

At this moment, she envied Xiangxiang, as her projection was almost invincible at times like these.

Yet just as everyone thought the farce was finally over and was about to hold a tribunal for Liu Lili, deciding whether to bury her alive or sink her in the lake, the buzzing began again.

"Buzz buzz~ buzz~"

The swarm that had just been exterminated by Thunder Technique reappeared, unharmed.

"Form a formation!" a Celestial Master shouted.

He had to admit, ever since he was promoted to Purple-robed Heavenly Master, he had never been this tense.

Although it wasn't a life or death crisis, it required giving it their all.

Taoist Sword techniques were launched as if they were free.

Yet this time, those bugs were left unscathed.

Sword Qi and Taoist Arts passed through their bodies.

It was as if they didn't exist in this world at all.

Even many restrictions had little effect on these twin-tails and black long straights, only slowing them down momentarily.

In the blink of an eye, the first batch of black long straights and twin-tails approached the gathered Purple-robed Heavenly Masters.

Just as the restrictions were ineffective, escape techniques and space spells were equally useless; no matter how they dodged, they couldn't evade them.

But the anticipated suicide attack or bizarre poison technique never came.

This group of magical little cuties merely did what they were meant to do.

That is, to be a nuisance.

The black long straight mosquitoes began buzzing around the Celestial Masters' ears, hovering near and far, coming and going.

The twin-tails started crawling up their Celestial Master's robes, appearing and disappearing, causing tingling sensations.

This feeling was peculiar, and the Celestial Masters did not wish to experience it again.

As their attention was drawn by the twin-tails, some even preparing to take off their clothes, the black long straights struck again.

They were no longer simply hovering around but settled onto the Celestial Masters' exposed skin.

Then, one by one, small red bumps appeared on the Celestial Masters' skin.

Followed by an itch.

"?"

Looking at the mosquito bites on their arms, the Celestial Masters had inexplicable expressions, almost finding it comical.

The last time... when was the last time they were bitten by mosquitoes?

They honestly couldn't remember.

Though Dragon Tiger Mountain wasn't known for its Body Cultivation methods, the cultivation techniques cultivated during Qi Cultivation Stage, due to the balance of Yin and Yang, protected cultivators from cold, heat, miasma, and poison.

Having reached Qi Cultivation Stage and mastering Copper Skin and Iron Bones, they feared neither mosquitoes nor insects. Even if they stood there naked for any normal mosquito, they would have struggled to bite down.

Now, though, a group of Cultivators in Divinity Transformation and Void Refining were covered in mosquito bites, it was unbelievable.

Seeing this, Master Cheng struck again, targeting the black long straight and twin-tails with Golden Thunder.

However, this second strike was no different than the first; though the black long straight and twin-tails were dispersed and obliterated, they reappeared in the next moment.

As if they were undying and eternal.

Moreover, these little cuties showed signs of evolution, with each strike of Golden Thunder they revived quicker, even carrying a tingling electric current when biting.

Seeing this, Master Cheng hastily restrained himself from using Golden Thunder again, switching to using Water Technique to trap them.

Yet this approach was equally ineffective.

And while the battle raged between Dragon Tiger Mountain and the black long straights and twin-tails, Zhang Ze looked towards Lily, the instigator of all this.

Lily was wriggling on the ground, attempting to stealthily escape while everyone's attention was diverted.

Along with her, everything that was controlled by the restriction also attempted to escape.

It and the old thing were rolling behind Lily like a big caterpillar.

Miemie didn't escape, but not because it was obedient, just that Zhang Ze tied it up and hung it on a tree.

It wanted to escape but couldn't.

It was all mixed up, perhaps everything was just perfectly rolled to the front, anyway, everything was the first to meet Zhang Ze's gaze.

In a flash, everything might have recalled happier moments with Zhang Ze, remembering its place, so it made the most correct decision.

It defected.

Everything jumped up, first knocking Lily off balance to prevent her from crawling, then immediately rolled in front of Zhang Ze.
