105: A spiritual torrent!
Besides Chu Yuan, the other Martial Artists were also observing the situation inside the pit at this moment.
They were equally unwilling to believe Chu Yuan's statement.
If one or two members of the Zhenwu Bureau were infiltrated, it wouldn't be much of an issue... but all of them?
The high-level Martial Artists of Xiyun City, every single one of them, could not escape the charge of 'dereliction of duty'... yet the zhenwu token in this young man's hand was not fake...
Chu Yuan didn't actually trust them either; he kept feeling that among these people, there might still be others with those insect eggs inside them.
But he couldn't recklessly use his Divine Sense to check the detailed condition inside everyone's body...
That would not only be disrespectful, but would also be seen as an act of aggression!
It was as if there were quite a few people who knew Chu Yuan was not right, but only Elder Zhang pointed out the difference between him and other Martial Artists when treating his injuries.
As for the others, like Qi Da and Wei Huang... they had never checked their own internal conditions.
"Captain!" A panicked cry came from the pit.
Immediately, the Martial Artist who had just gone down rushed back out, holding Zhao Mingren's severed head in his arms, his face deathly pale as he said, "It... it's the Nightmare Insect Clan!"
The Nightmare Insect Clan? Chu Yuan's heart stirred. He knew this name, but hadn't paid much attention to it before.
So when he first saw it, he really hadn't made the connection.
However, the information he knew was rather superficial; he had only heard that the Nightmare Insect Clan was powerful and particularly skilled in mental-type attacks.
But Zhao Mingren hadn't launched a mental attack on him just now...
The man in military uniform was also startled, and asked with a solemn expression, "Chu Yuan, are you saying that the entire Zhenwu Bureau has been infiltrated by the Nightmare Insect Clan?"
"You could also say it's control; the real insect is only the one that replaced Zhao Mingren."
The man immediately looked at the Martial Artist who had rushed into the pit earlier: "How many Martial Artists from your Zhenwu Bureau are out on missions today?"
Even if the Zhenwu Bureau was infiltrated, it was impossible for everyone to stay in one place, waiting for others to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Daily work still had to be done, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago...
The other person was stunned, knowing that he was already being suspected.
But this was to be expected, so he hurriedly replied, "I don't know very clearly either... I will ask immediately!"
He then raised his wrist to open his terminal.
The man in military uniform couldn't help but rebuke, "Stupid! If they had no problems, why wouldn't they come over after sensing the commotion here!? Do you still need to ask on the terminal!?"
"Everyone, we can't just stand here blankly;
I order, in the name of the Xiyun City Garrison Regiment, for everyone to immediately search for any former Zhenwu Bureau members who might be controlled by the Nightmare Insect Clan!
Arrest them upon finding them, and if they resist, execute them on the spot!"
Chu Yuan did not participate in the conversation; his Divine Sense was still fixed on the insect corpse.
It appeared to have indeed lost its vitality, remaining motionless, and even its metal-like shell was gradually losing its luster...
But his spiritual intuition kept giving him an uneasy feeling.
The Nightmare Insect Clan went to such great lengths to infiltrate the Zhenwu Bureau Martial Artists of an entire city... just to show off their sense of humor?
They hadn't even released the mental attacks they were famous for...
It seemed like some ripple swept past, giving him a somewhat familiar feeling.
Then, a ghostly shadow gradually condensed in the space in front of the insect corpse's brow. It was pitch black, and one couldn't tell what it was.
When his Divine Sense swept over it, it had no physical substance at all...
But a sense of horror appeared in Chu Yuan's heart!
His pupils constricted, and without hesitation, he activated Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun, piercing toward the horizon.
"Run!"
The many Martial Artists of Xiyun City were momentarily bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
The next moment, the insect corpse at the bottom of the pit stiffly raised its blade-arm and tapped onto that phantom shadow!
In that instant, it seemed to possess a physical form, and a torrent of Mental Energy erupted violently...
As Chu Yuan fled, he finally remembered what that familiar ripple he felt was: it was a spatial fluctuation!
He had witnessed it before when he was in Secret Realm No. 7.
Although he still couldn't master the great power of space, he had already memorized that feeling...
As for that phantom shadow, it was nothing more than a means of being teleported through space.
Perhaps it was something like a god sealing crystal, or something like a military talisman...
The Nightmare Insect Clan didn't undervalue him; they valued him far too much!
So 'Zhao Mingren' knew from the beginning that he was no match for him, and used all his energy on this?
How on earth did they do it? Can the Fifth Realm also open spatial rifts?!
Chu Yuan didn't understand the methods of the Nightmare Insect Clan; he only felt that this torrent of Mental Energy was very troublesome!
Even though he ran away the moment he sensed something was wrong, he was still quickly caught up to...
It seemed to be controlled by someone, so its power did not dissipate.
Only two Martial Artists who couldn't dodge in time on the straight line between Chu Yuan and it were affected.
Their eyes dimmed for an instant, then immediately turned cold, and they silently pursued Chu Yuan!
Their weapons were primed, energy surging; they were clearly not going after Chu Yuan to protect him...
The man in military uniform judged the situation in an instant and decisively intervened to stop them!
But Chu Yuan was also finally hit by the impact at this moment.
It was as if a massive tsunami was violently crashing against a reef; a sense of drowsiness emerged, making him want to just fall asleep there...
Gentle, seductive whispers resounded in his mind, like a loving mother tenderly calling her child.
"Chu Yuan..."
"Sleep, Chu Yuan..."
"Come to me..."
"Forget all the troubles in the world..."
"How happy..."
Veins bulged on Chu Yuan's forehead as he operated the Golden Core Great Dao Song with all his might!
The flawless Golden Core inside his body shone brilliantly, and faint, mysterious Dao sounds echoed...
Although the level of this Mental Energy was not as high as his Divine Sense, its volume was simply too massive!
Even a hard reef would be at risk of collapsing under the relentless impact of a tsunami...
The Golden Rainbow had long since dissipated, and at this moment, Chu Yuan could no longer care about escaping, standing firmly in the Void Realm as he resisted the seemingly endless torrent of Mental Energy!
His Divine Sense was constantly being compressed and consumed.
He didn't know how long had passed, when Chu Yuan suddenly discovered with horror that a black, phantom insect egg was forming inside his head...
It was swelling and pulsing.
Voices of bewitchment, several times stronger than before, resounded in his mind!
"Let's go, Chu Yuan, the internet cafe is about to run out of seats!"
"Good play, brother! That ultimate move was amazing!"
"Chu Yuan, with your grades, it's a pity not to pursue academics..."
"Chu Yuan! I like you!"
"..."
Familiar voices that felt like a lifetime ago resounded.
Those were memories from the deepest part of his heart, from his past life on Blue Star...
"I..." Chu Yuan murmured with a dazed expression.
"Damn it!" A brash voice resounded: "Break for me!"
A phantom ripple spread, sweeping across the universe in an instant!
Chu Yuan's gaze cleared in an instant, and his Divine Sense shook!
The phantom insect egg in his mind was annihilated in an instant!
"Elder Han?"
