"If you insist on courting death and I have to save you again, I really won't be polite this ti. Just now, I only took a little interest. Next ti, I won't mind doing sothing to you!"
Ye Fan watched Ji Ningxuan sway her hips, a devilish smirk appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Admiring from a distance and asuring with his hands felt completely different.
Leading the way, Ji Ningxuan, upon hearing Ye Fan's words, staggered involuntarily, thinking of where Ye Fan had just taken liberties with her body, her face burning hot with embarrassnt.
She, the distinguished daughter of the Pri Minister Manor, the Great Xia Imperial Concubine, was actually taken liberties with by that idiotic young master of the Ye family.
She was no longer pure!
Agitated!
The two grey-robed elders beside her, hearing Ye Fan's brazen words, were scratching their hearts with resentnt.
The Empress was held in such high esteem; how could she be defiled like this?
But they had just felt it, Ye Fan's strength was far superior to that of a Martial Emperor, and was geotrically stronger than their own. As much as they were furious, they couldn't beat him in a fight!
Seeing Ji Ningxuan rush ahead, a group of bodyguards cast resentful glances at Ye Fan and continued to follow her.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ningxuan had charged to within three ters of the temple ruins. With the Divinity Fragnt in hand to deter them, the Blood Worms were forced to retreat, having shrunk back to the edge of the temple. If they retreated further, they would reach the Insect Queen's breeding grounds.
It was clear that the Netherworld Blood Worms were also extrely agitated.
They made continuous hissing sounds, jostling each other, even starting to frenziedly bite their companions.

Yet no matter how Ji Ningxuan urged the Divinity Fragnt, those Blood Worms would not retreat further. Although shivering all over, they still stood their ground.
"Hmph! So you do know fear? Asking for death!" Ji Ningxuan uttered a rebuke and pulled out a handful of powder, scattering it into the wind.
Whoosh!
The next mont, the powder actually ignited in the wind, emitting intense, hot flas!
Hum!
All the Blood Worms that could not avoid in ti were instantly scorched, filling the air with the sll of roasting at.
The swarm of Blood Worms on the ground suffered casualties in the thousands in an instant.
If Ji Ningxuan continued to burn like this, those Netherworld Blood Worms would indeed suffer a big loss.
Seeing her own battle results, Ji Ningxuan looked sowhat proudly over at Ye Fan, as if to show off.
Miss here has strength too!
Ye Fan's lips curled, indeed sowhat surprised in his heart.
It seed the Jade Pool Sacred Land did have so true capabilities, obtaining a Divinity Fragnt and using this kind of burning fla…although the temperature was not as high as the Inheritance fla swirling within his body, it was still quite intimidating for a regular Martial Arts Expert to suddenly conjure such a blaze!
But Ye Fan imdiately shook his head, "Hurry up and retreat! If you don't retreat now, you're really going to suffer a loss!"
With the Devil's Pupil activated, Ye Fan could clearly see that in the underground nest, the Insect Emperor had beco enraged and was starting to issue commands to his Golden Armored Blood Worms.
His wife was giving birth, and these detestable humans were attacking them without stopping!
The Insect Emperor, already irritable, beca even more frenzied!
"Hmph! Why are you like this? Can't you stand to see others be powerful? Didn't you see I've already burnt so many with one fire? If I burn a few more tis, I can wipe them all out! Don't think you're the only powerful one in this world!" Ji Ningxuan said this with actually a bit of a lack of confidence.
Because she had already noticed that the Netherworld Blood Worms she had just scorched had ford a huge hole here in the ruins, but in the blink of an eye, even more Netherworld Blood Worms surged up from the ground and filled the vacancy, not to ntion.
And the number of Golden Armored Blood Worms among the next wave was increasing.
Ji Ningxuan had already noticed that her fla could burn the ordinary black Blood Worms to death, but those Golden Armored Blood Worms seed not to fear her fla at all.
Nevertheless, Ji Ningxuan's stubborn temper also flared up; today, she had to prove herself in front of Ye Fan!
Was she not just a pretty vase, incapable of achieving anything without Ye Fan?
```
Master had given her so many treasures and secret techniques, just now there simply hadn't been an opportunity to use them.
Once she had the chance to use them, even if she couldn't kill all these Netherworld Blood Worms, surely she, as the Empress, protected by these bodyguards, wouldn't have any issues with self-preservation, right?
Huff!
Just as Ji Ningxuan raised her Battle Saber, preparing to make another move, the Netherworld Blood Worms on the ruins of the temple suddenly stirred.
Countless Netherworld Blood Worms burst forth from the ground, in an instant the sky was overwheld, the moonlight completely blocked, and the night turned a shade darker in a flash.
Ji Ningxuan frowned, thinking they were about to attack her.
But the next mont, Ji Ningxuan witnessed a scene that shocked her, causing her pupils to dilate involuntarily.
"Go!"
The tens of thousands of Netherworld Blood Worms had actually arranged themselves into the character for "go" in the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the character "走"!
Huh?
Heavens!
Ji Ningxuan thought she might be seeing things—did these Netherworld Blood Worms actually possess such high intelligence?
To be able to arrange themselves into characters? Telling her to leave?
"Miss, perhaps we should retreat for now... The Emperor sent you to Cloud City, not for adventuring! Look, we've already lost so many brothers! Moreover, the Fragnt in your hand, its deterrent effect on the Netherworld Blood Worms, is gradually diminishing!" one of the grey-robed old n vigilantly observed the Netherworld Blood Worms surrounding them as he spoke beside Ji Ningxuan.
When Ji Ningxuan first used the Fragnt's deterrent effect, those Netherworld Blood Worms could only approach within a distance of five ters at most, but now they had pressed in to within three ters everywhere.
The Golden Armored Blood Worms emitted an ancient aura on their bodies, which counteracted and neutralized the ancient Qi of the Fragnt, offsetting the suppression it had on them.
"This..." Ji Ningxuan was utterly stunned as well.
But to retreat just like this?
Ji Ningxuan couldn't help but glance towards Ye Fan—wouldn't retreating just like this make her a laughingstock in his eyes?
"Retreat! Don't worry, I won't laugh at you, you've done quite well! It's just that these Netherworld Blood Worms have exceeded your capabilities. Leave them to !" Ye Fan gave Ji Ningxuan an encouraging look.
His tone truly bore no hint of mockery!
But when Ji Ningxuan heard Ye Fan's words, she instantly got hot under the collar!
This guy was just provoking her on purpose!
"This young lady refuses to believe it! They're just a bunch of beasts, how tough could they be?" Just before retreating, at the very least, she wanted to slaughter them to an extent she found satisfactory.
Huff!
The powder in Ji Ningxuan's hand was instantly scattered in ten handfuls, igniting furious flas that nearly enveloped the entire temple ruins, burning wildly.
As Ji Ningxuan had predicted, confronted by her flas, the Netherworld Blood Worms should have either fled in panic or burnt to death at least, surely at least frightened.
But what Ji Ningxuan didn't expect was that upon encountering her flas, not a single worm fled; in fact, all the Netherworld Blood Worms acted as if they were insane, and all dove towards the flas like moths to a fla, rushing towards them crazily!
Using their own bodies to extinguish the fire?
What are they trying to do? What exactly are they protecting?
While Ji Ningxuan was puzzled, she didn't notice that a golden Netherworld Blood Worm had burst forth directly from the ground, swiftly approaching and biting viciously below her collarbone!
"Ah!" A pang of pain shot through Ji Ningxuan's chest. She quickly reacted, channeled her Martial Arts Qi, sliced the Blood Worm in two, and then hurriedly sealed the blood vessels around her chest.
Having been bitten, Ji Ningxuan's first instinct was to look towards Ye Fan. She felt she should imdiately ask him for help since he likely had a cure.
But her stubborn nature made her clench her teeth tightly, stopping herself from asking for help.
"What's wrong, Miss Xuan, have you been bitten by a Blood Worm?" Ye Fan had been using his Devil's Pupil to observe the situation underground and hadn't noticed what had happened to Ji Ningxuan.
"No!" Ji Ningxuan bit her red lips lightly, petulantly responding with that one word…
