Seeing Chen Xiao and his companion, the girl smiled slightly, "By the looks of you two, are you people of the Divine Land?"

"Do you need something?!" Chen Xiao raised an indifferent eyebrow.

The two sides were totally unfamiliar, yet the other party suddenly started a conversation, making him naturally cautious.

Moreover, the other party was likely someone who had also received the Heroic Invitation to the Buddha Ancient Temple.

Potential rivals, all of them.

"People of Shenzhou, venturing to this deep wilderness, it seems you are here for the Buddha Ancient Temple too?" The girl continued with a gentle and alluring voice, proactively inviting, "If that’s the case, why not travel with us, it could be good to have companions on the road."

"Click—" Just as she spoke, Chen Xiao clenched his palm, and upon opening it, a colorful dead worm appeared, with a smile on his lips, "You invite us to travel together but use beautiful poison insects to invite, doesn’t seem very polite, does it?"

Seeing that Chen Xiao had discovered her Gu worm, the girl’s expression changed slightly, then she laughed, "Seems like you also have some abilities, in that case, let’s stay out of each other’s way, farewell!"

With that, she prepared to leave with the others.

Chen Xiao’s indifferent voice slowly drifted through the woods, "You want to leave just like this after trying to kill me and being exposed, are you dreaming?"

"Haha—Young master, our Southern Gu Sect is not to be trifled with, I don’t want to waste my strength tangling with you, you best pretend nothing happened, isn’t that better?" The woman had a strange, light smile on her face.

Her figure swayed, and the silver bell on her body rang subtly, seeming to have an enchanting effect on the mind, momentarily dazing Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu, who quickly steadied their minds.

"Southern Gu Sect, an ancient sect in the north of Yu Country, known for their Gu techniques, their methods are unwittingly dangerous, even have insidious methods of using live people to refine Gu, ruthless and cruel," Leng Baiyu said, "it’s best to be cautious."

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes, the northern region of Yu Country is extremely chaotic, bordering Yunzhou of Divine Land, which is the origin place of Gu techniques.

"Knowing we are from the Southern Gu Sect, you best not provoke me further, otherwise, I have a hundred ways to make you die inexplicably," the girl smiled softly again, her innocent adorable look seeming harmless.

However, Chen Xiao just sneered, "Trickery and deceit, not worth fearing!"

His Celestial Yang Body had a certain immunity to Gu insects naturally, so he wasn’t afraid of her methods.

"Haha, since you insist on courting death, I will oblige!" The Silver Bell Girl’s eyes suddenly turned cold, the next moment, countless tiny and dense Gu insects fluttered their wings and flew out from under her clothes.

The buzzing sound from these Gu insects made it difficult to focus.

Chen Xiao expelled his Qi Force, surging out into the air, a large batch of Gu insects was shocked into dead bodies falling to the ground, but still some pierced through the defense and came forward!

"These Gu insects seem to have some immunity to Inner Strength, be careful!"

As his Qi Force continued to gush out, large clusters of Gu insects were forcibly shocked dead.

Yet, quite a few Gu insects still approached their bodies.

The two of them could only keep pulling away distance, destroying these Gu insects completely.

Meanwhile, the Silver Bell Girl giggled, as she shook the silver bell on her body, next moment she lunged toward Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu.

She unveiled a short sword as she drew it, the icy cold gleam on it clearly indicating it was a weapon laced with deadly poison.

"Swish swish!"

Her speed was extremely quick, several sword lights aimed straight at Chen Xiao’s neck and chest, angles tricky and lethal.

Chen Xiao swung out the Fish Intestine Sword, clashing directly with her.

The Silver Bell Girl was pushed back two steps, but there wasn’t much panic in her expression.

The next moment, Chen Xiao saw two more bugs flying out from her!

Their speed was so quick, they struck at the moment Chen Xiao couldn’t evade.

Chen Xiao furrowed his brow, retreating swiftly while drawing his sword to strike!

Though slightly weaker in strength, the woman had the mysterious Gu techniques, making it hard for him to deal with her, and he dared not be careless.

His Fish Intestine Sword killed one bug.

The other bug strangely switched its attack route, avoiding his strike, continuing to approach, about to reach him, at the critical moment, Leng Baiyu split the bug in half with a sword!

"Damned, you killed my Golden Thread Gu!" The Silver Bell Girl suddenly fumed in anger.

That Golden Thread Gu, was a top-tier Gu insect painstakingly refined by her, extremely poisonous, mind-connected, with very stringent refining conditions, yet now slaughtered by these two, how could she endure?

"You all join in, help me kill them!"

"Yes! Young Master!" Several other men rushed forward to encircle Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu.

"Hiss hiss hiss—" Chen Xiao saw, numerous poisonous snakes, centipedes, and other Gu insects continuously emerging from beneath their clothes, these poison bugs were unlike ordinary breeds, each vibrant in color, evidently highly toxic.

Even Chen Xiao dared not let them bite him carelessly.

Moreover, the Gu insects were clearly specially refined, highly defensive, ordinary attacks couldn’t destroy them, only forceful slashing could obliterate them.

Chen Xiao swung his sword, slashing seven or eight venomous snakes.

The centipedes and scorpions crawled swiftly along the ground.

While dealing with these poison bugs, he battled the Silver Bell Girl, inevitably distracted, unable to exert his strongest combat power, heavily constrained.

He could only gather energy, stomping fiercely!

A powerful force exploded from him, numerous poison bugs vanquished immediately, several Southern Gu Sect disciples shocked away.

Slightly relieving him.

While Leng Baiyu already advanced, engaging in battle with the Silver Bell Girl.

Leng Baiyu’s combat strength was formidable, evidently more experienced, rapidly suppressing the Silver Bell Girl, placing her at a disadvantage!

Chen Xiao seized the opportunity, slashing fiercely!

The Silver Bell Girl hastily defended, consequently hit back further, blood spilling from her mouth.

Leng Baiyu pursued aggressively, transforming palm into fist, punching her!

"Boom—" The Silver Bell Girl’s delicate body flew sideways.

Yet at that moment, blackness rapidly spread on Leng Baiyu’s fist as if swiftly poisoned, her pretty face revealing pain.

"Beware, she is venomous too on her body!"

Seeing Leng Baiyu’s hand, Chen Xiao’s gaze grew colder, instantly erupting with killing intent!

"Bring the antidote, I might spare your lives, otherwise, all must die!" Chen Xiao hacked two Southern Gu Sect disciples, approaching the Silver Bell Girl with tiger-like strides, staring down coldly at her.
