Chapter 237: The Five Venoms Cult’s Inheritance! Establishing the Luo Net

“Half a month? Naturally, there is no problem. In three days, at Celestial Fragrance Tower in Yunlong County City, we will discuss it further. The Jin Family will communicate with the other two families.”

Cold Soul Master also quickly restrained his emotions. His aura remained gloomy and cold, but his tone softened significantly. “In that case, we’ll see you at Celestial Fragrance Tower in half a month.”

He no longer brought up buying the Token, nor did he make any more threats. True Monarch of the Infinite taking a disciple made him afraid to put on airs anymore. However, it was impossible for him to bow his head and submit. His Profound Yin Sect wasn’t to be trifled with, either.

“Thank you both for your understanding. In half a month, I will attend the appointment on time,” Qin Yu cupped his hands.

Only after sending off these two uninvited guests did the atmosphere in the reception hall relax. Qin Tianfeng and the others had their backs drenched in cold sweat. Facing the invisible pressure of two Myriad Phenomena Masters, even with Qin Yu shielding them in front, they found it difficult to breathe.

“Yu, did you agree to True Monarch of the Infinite’s offer to take you as his disciple?” Qin Tianfeng asked anxiously.

“I’m just borrowing Senior True Monarch of the Infinite’s prestige. I’m still considering it,” Qin Yu shook his head slightly. He was indeed hesitating.

Having a top-tier Primordial Spirit Realm expert as a teacher would indeed bring many benefits, but he still couldn’t make a decision. He was also completely ignorant about the Five Poison Sect’s legacy. However, having half a month as a buffer would change things.

“Yu, do you plan to seize the Five Poison Sect’s legacy? The Profound Yin Sect and the Jin Family are one thing, but Black Death Valley and the Soul Refining Sect are both Evil Demon factions.

“Even the Blood Demon Sect might take the opportunity to strike.

“Although I don’t know much about the Five Poison Sect, I do know that its legacy site is likely within some special secret realm or Grotto Heaven. The Insect Swarm won’t be able to enter entirely. You might not even be able to bring the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms inside. This…” Qin Tianfeng’s eyes held worry.

Out of the four factions, two were Evil Demon factions. Among them was the Soul Refining Sect, which had a grudge against the Qin Family. It was obvious what would happen once they entered.

“Don’t worry, Ancestor. I know what I’m doing.” A glint flashed across Qin Yu’s eyes. “I plan to take a trip to Yunlong County City first. Golden Wind Tower should have intelligence on the Five Poison Sect’s legacy.

“I also want to learn about these factions, as well as Senior True Monarch of the Infinite.

“The items I obtained from Shen Tu Lu also need to be dealt with.”

Half a month was merely the blink of an eye to these veteran factions. But for him and the Insect Swarm, it was enough for a significant transformation!

He still had over a million Demon Suppression Bureau Merit Points left behind after Shen Tu Lu’s death. All of these could be exchanged for combat power.

There was one thing Cold Soul Master was right about. His current situation seemed glorious, but in reality, danger lurked everywhere. The Blood Demon Sect’s revenge wouldn’t stop, and other Demon Dao factions, as well as many other forces, would take an interest in him, the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms, and the Insect Swarm.

He needed time! He also needed more formidable strength.

Thunder Punishment Master overseeing Yunlong County could buy him some time. The Five Poison Sect’s legacy was a prime opportunity. Relying on Merit Points to exchange for top-tier Cultivation Techniques was too slow. How could it compare to directly acquiring the legacy of a top-tier Sect?

He wanted to deduce the Perfect Dao Foundation that suited him best, which required a massive amount of precious Scriptures. The Five Poison Sect’s legacy might not have Immortal Tier Techniques, but it wouldn’t lack Alpha-level Techniques!

The Insect Swarm had started its rise by relying on the Five Poison Sect’s legacy. The top-tier legacies within would inevitably bring significant benefits to the swarm’s growth and expansion.

Without delay, Qin Yu immediately took two squads of Hive Guards and headed for Yunlong County City.

As an intelligence organization spread throughout the Great Wei, Golden Wind Tower claimed to sell everything. As long as one was willing to pay a sufficient price, they could obtain the vast majority of intelligence.

The Insect Swarm’s intelligence network was very strong, but its main strength lay in real-time surveillance. When it came to things like the Five Poison Sect’s legacy or ancient matters concerning True Monarch of the Infinite, it was a weakness. Although the one hundred and twenty thousand Humanoid Insect Race spies bred by the Insect Swarm had already been deployed, the timeframe was too short for them to infiltrate top-tier factions. Naturally, they couldn’t obtain the intelligence he needed.

Sitting cross-legged on the Thunder Roc’s back, Qin Yu pondered, “Humanoid spy units operate among various factions and need to establish their own faction and intelligence network. It’s time to make them independent.

“This faction shall be called Luo Net!

“Its main purpose will be gathering intelligence for the Insect Swarm, acquiring precious Secret Techniques, Exotic Beasts, Array legacies, and so on.

“The Insect Queen cultivated based on the Soul Devouring Spider’s bloodline is almost complete. Perhaps I can let the Insect Queen take charge first.”

Building a super communication network with the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu as the core, eventually evolving it into a Virtual Universe, would serve as the public intelligence agency. This, however, would be the covert intelligence agency!

The Humanoid Insect Race units deployed over these past few days had spread across the cities and towns of Yunlong County, and their traces could even be found in neighboring County Cities. Moreover, this number was still increasing at an astonishing rate. They disguised themselves as Traveling Merchants, craftsmen, Farmers, beggars, Loose Cultivators, or Small Sect Disciples.

Although their status was still low at present, with the Insect Swarm’s ever-changing characteristics, they would inevitably become a massive organization in the future. Luo Net would be the highest echelon of the Insect Swarm’s spy organization. Under its command, they could directly or indirectly control other minor factions, absorb local forces, and continuously develop and expand.

Amidst his thoughts, Qin Yu’s group entered Yunlong County City.

The Golden Wind Pavilion’s branch in Yunlong County City was located in a quiet deep alley tucked away in the bustling West City. Its facade was quaint, featuring only an inconspicuous wooden plaque inscribed with the words “Golden Wind.” The calligraphy was vigorous and forceful, concealing a sharp edge within. Not many guests went in and out, but every one of them possessed a profound and steady aura, clearly indicating they were either wealthy or noble.
