The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

"Since you sincerely acknowledge the Lord, I will give you a chance to unfold your soul before me without any obstruction."

The heart-eating worm did not dare to hesitate and did as it was told.

After Meng Wan successfully imprinted the rice-sized soul of the Heart-Eating Bug, she returned the soul power she had summoned from her original body and other clones.

This battle consumed a huge amount of spiritual power and even implicated her other two clones.

The only results of the battle were the cracked transparent stone in her hand and the strange soul that claimed to be an ancient strange insect.

Meng Wan squeezed the strange stone in her hand with an unhappy look on her face. Sensing her movements, the Heart-Eating Bug said flatteringly.

"Master, you are truly wise and brave, and you are extremely talented..."

Meng Wan interrupted it impatiently, "Stop flattering me and tell me about your abilities."

Seeing that Meng Wan wasn't fooled, the Heartworm didn't dare to play tricks anymore and honestly explained his abilities.

"I feed on the emotions of living beings, sensing and amplifying all kinds of negative emotions and desires, thereby manipulating people's hearts."

Thinking of the frenzy of everyone fighting for the strange stone in the stone chamber before, Meng Wan nodded slightly.

She didn't show much surprise or joy, she just said it lightly.

"It doesn't sound particularly useful."

When the heart-eating worm heard this, it immediately became anxious.

"Master, you don't know that I can read minds!"

"Really?"

Meng Wan looked at it with a half-smile, "Then tell me, what am I thinking about now?"

"This... the master's thoughts, I dare not read them casually."

The Heartworm said cautiously.

"It's okay. Just read it. I'll verify whether you really have this ability or whether you can just say it out loud."

The heartworm had no choice but to do as it was told.

It listened to Meng Wan's thoughts for a while and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, "The master seems a little unhappy..."

"Oh? Where to start?"

Meng Wan smiled, but didn't smile.

"My master feels that he spent a lot of energy on me, but only caught a dying insect. It's not worth it..."

The Heart-Eating Bug broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but defend himself as he spoke.

"Master, I am very useful. My emotional perception and mind-reading abilities are very concealed. Even cultivators who are one realm higher than me cannot detect my existence!"

Mind reading? It sounds useless. This thing claims to be some ancient strange insect, who knows if it is real or fake.

After reading this idea, the Heartworm was shocked.

"How can the ability to read minds be useless?"

The Heartworm was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down, "Master, think about it, with my mind reading ability, you can see into the enemy's mind and predict their actions.

This way, you will be invincible in battle!"

"Oh? That sounds interesting."

Hearing this, Meng Wan's expression relaxed a little and she spoke with a smile.

"Since you have acknowledged me as your master, you'd better obey me. Don't try to be smart and don't read my mind again, otherwise..."

"Master, rest assured. I swear to heaven that I will never betray you in my life. If I do, I will be struck by lightning!"

The heart-eating worm felt the chill in Meng Wan's tone and shivered with fear. It swore an oath quickly, fearing that it would lose its life if it was a step late.

"okay."

Meng Wan interrupted the Heart-Eating Bug's oath and asked, "How long can the cave's restrictions keep those three people trapped?"

"Master, the restriction can only last for an hour at most."

The heart-eating worm did not dare to neglect and answered quickly.

"One hour..."

Meng Wan frowned. She was not in good condition now, and her chances of winning against those people were extremely low.

It’s better to run away while they are trapped.

Meng Wan made up her mind and told the Heart-Eating Bug, "Take me to the place where you trapped the group of Qi-Refining monks."

The heart-eating worm did not dare to delay and quickly showed Meng Wan the way, leading her to a hidden cave.

The entrance of the cave was shrouded in a layer of faint spiritual energy fluctuations, which was the restriction that spontaneously formed after those strange runes were activated.

"Master, this is it."

The Heartworm said respectfully.

Meng Wan nodded and her eyes fell on those strange runes.

"What on earth are these things?"

"It is actually just an ancient array pattern. It is just that too much time has passed and people today do not understand its meaning. It is difficult to resolve it and can only be broken by brute force."

The Heart-Eating Bug explained, "The ancient array patterns are connected end to end, and must be deciphered in sequence according to certain rules, otherwise you will suffer the backlash of the array pattern power."

Meng Wan recalled the several people who had been killed by the backlash of the rune power, and she understood instantly.

Following the guidance of the Heartworm, she attacked towards one of the extremely hidden runes, successfully broke through a corner of the formation, and stepped into the cave.

At the same time, in the cave.

Seeing that "Shen Wan'er"'s face was getting paler and even her body was a little unsteady, Ding Gui hurriedly asked about her health.

"Fairy Shen, how are you?"

Meng Wan shook her head weakly. "I'm fine. It's just an old illness. I'll be well soon."

Ding Gui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

He gave Ding Jie a look without leaving a trace, and Ding Jie understood. He took advantage of Shen Wan'er's unpreparedness and quietly walked to the front of the team.

Soon, the leader Zhao Wei stopped and looked at Meng Wan at the back.

"I heard that Fairy Shen is a descendant of a famous family. I wonder if you have done any research on these runes?"

Meng Wan didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly smiled, "I've heard a little bit about it."

"Oh?"

There was a hint of surprise in Zhao Wei's eyes. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Shen Wan'er could actually explain it.

"Appreciate further details."

"I've heard that these runes are ancient array patterns from ancient times."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately refuted her.

"Ridiculous! I have studied formations for decades and have some knowledge of ancient formation patterns. If these twisted things are really ancient formation patterns, how could I not see them?"

"That's right. I think this is more like the ancient writing of some mysterious race."

Zhao Wei had been observing Shen Wan'er's expression, and seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Could it be that Shen Wan'er really knows the secret of these earthworm characters?

But it doesn’t matter, none of this matters anymore.

Originally he didn't intend to touch Shen Wan'er, but who told her to suddenly fall ill?

If he doesn't take action when faced with such a good opportunity, all his training will be in vain.

"Since Fairy Shen knows something about these things, then let's start with you to decipher the runes here."

Upon hearing this, Ding Gui and Ding Jie subconsciously looked towards Shen Wan'er. They thought they would see an expression of panic or anger on her face, but unexpectedly she was smiling.

"Okay."

As she spoke, Meng Wan tried to stand up straight and walked towards the direction of the rune.

Ding Gui and Ding Jie looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Is Shen Wan'er stupid, or is she just brave and skilled?

Knowing that there were problems with these runes, why did you just go ahead and do it so easily?
