Chapter 2227 I’m very angry
The flame that Youdie mentioned is undoubtedly the burning power of the talent tree.

Previously, during the battle with Jiuying in Lu Ye’s Divine Sea, she gained some benefits when being burned by the flames, and she became addicted to it.

Lu Ye was actually also surprised. The soul of Youdie was not burned by the talent tree. This didn’t make sense.

Logically speaking, Youdie's soul is also a foreign object that has invaded his body, and it should be treated the same as Jiuying's soul.

But it didn't.

After thinking about it, Lu Ye felt that this was probably due to the life chain. His soul and Youdie's soul were closely connected under the influence of these patterns, sharing life and death. The incineration power of the talent tree obviously regarded her soul as one of its own. Not only would it not harm her, but it would also benefit her.

The Insect Queen originally specialized in cultivating the soul. If she could obtain the power of the innate tree to burn away the impurities in her soul, not to mention that it would improve her strength, it might also be beneficial to her future advancement to the Dao.

"That fire..."

Before Lu Ye finished speaking, the Insect Mother snorted coldly: "If you say no, you will stay here forever and never leave!"

"It's not impossible!" Lu Ye changed the subject quickly, "But I'll talk about it when I come back."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Youdie also became gentle, which reminded Lu Ye of his first reincarnation, when he was the young wife standing on tiptoe in front of the thatched hut, waiting for her husband to return.

Unable to help but shudder, Lu Ye was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

He thought Youdie would not agree so easily, and he was already considering how to negotiate terms with her, but Youdie was so straightforward.

"You are my man, where can you go?" Youdie chuckled, "Back to the human race? Can you go back?"

Lu Ye remained silent. This was what annoyed him the most. He was abducted in public, so even if he returned to the human race and told the truth, no one would probably believe him.

The two insect-blood tribes often have hidden players, and their methods of controlling them are also extraordinary.

It can be said that ever since he was abducted, he has been labeled as a member of the second insect-blood clan.

"Your only place to go is with me, so don't think about anything else." Youdie chuckled.

"You have the bigger fist, so you have the final say." Lu Ye looked nonchalant, patted his butt and stood up, "Then I'll go, you get me a stone worm to show me the route."

"Wait a moment, someone will take you there." Youdie said.

"Who?" As soon as Lu Ye said this, a name immediately popped up in his mind.

Li Qi!

Ever since his identity was exposed, this guy seems to have been on standby at Youdie's side.

As expected, not long after, Li Qi stepped into the core of the insect nest, came to Youdie, and saluted respectfully: "Meet the Insect Queen!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Ye who was standing beside him with a smile, and his heart was filled with surprise.

He had no idea what had happened between Youdie and Lu Ye during this period of time, but judging from the fact that Youdie risked leaving her body to rush to help him, it was obvious that Youdie valued Lu Ye very much!
This kind of attention is unprecedented.

A crane wing formation pattern is not enough to make a strong man like Youdie have such an attitude, so what is the reason?
Unable to get an answer, Li Qi didn't dare to ask and could only guess on his own.

"Fellow Daoist Li Qi." Seeing him looking at him, Lu Ye greeted him with a smile.

Although he was a Taoist, Li Qi did not dare to neglect him and nodded slightly: "Daoyou Lu."

Lu Ye said: "Thank you for what happened earlier."

Li Qi looked calm and said, "I am just following orders. You are too polite, Brother Lu."

Lu Ye nodded: "I won't say much to thank you. We will all work under Xiaodie in the future. I hope you will take good care of me!"

Xiaodie...

Li Qi's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he almost thought he had heard wrongly, but he still suppressed his shock and said, "Okay, okay, I apologize for offending you before, Brother Lu, please forgive me."

What's going on? Why did Lu Ye call the Insect Mother so affectionately? And the Insect Mother didn't even refute it.

Something extraordinary seemed to have happened between these two.

"Li Qi, take Lu Ye to the ruins again. The ant was left inside." Youdie's soft and charming voice came.

"Yes!"

Li Qi accepted the order, turned around, looked at Lu Ye with complicated eyes, and gestured with his hand: "Daoyou Lu, please!"

Lu Ye stepped forward and patted his shoulder affectionately: "Daoyou Li Qi, please go first. I will follow you."

Li Qi nodded and walked out. However, he had just taken two steps when his heart suddenly tightened and he felt a great sense of crisis. However, before he could react, his vision was reversed. At the same time, the insect mother exclaimed: "Lu Ye, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Lu Ye stood behind Li Qi, shook off the blood on the Panshan Knife, with an indifferent expression.

However, Li Qi, who was originally in front of him, had already been beheaded.

In the core of the insect nest, with the insect queen in front of him, Li Qi was not on guard at all. He never expected that Lu Ye, who had just smiled at him, would suddenly attack him.

What made him even more incredible was that Lu Ye actually succeeded!
How could a person who was at the sixth level of Rong Dao be ambushed and killed by a person who was entering Dao?
The head rolled to the ground but Li Qi was not dead for a moment. He blinked twice, his eyes full of confusion.

Lu Ye raised his foot and stepped on his head. With a sudden force, his skull shattered and his already cloudy vision went completely dark.

"Lu Ye!" The Insect Mother was obviously angry.

Not to mention that Li Qi was completely unprepared for Lu Ye, she herself did not notice anything before Lu Ye took action. Lu Ye hid his murderous intent too well, and the Insect Mother would have noticed any abnormality before he took action.

"Don't scream!" Lu Ye put away the Panshan Sword, squatted down and disassembled the bones. The Taoist bones were at the sixth level of the Tao, and the Taoist power contained in them was not comparable to that of ordinary Taoist practitioners.

"You..." Youdie was furious.

Although Li Qi's identity as a hidden agent was exposed and he was no longer useful, he was at least a sixth-level Rong Dao master. He was killed right under her nose.

What’s even more infuriating is that the perpetrator was still calmly removing the bones and collecting the spoils.

This is totally ignoring her!

"I'm very angry!" Youdie spoke, and rich soul power surged, causing the surrounding space to slightly distort.

Lu Ye turned around and said, "What should we do? Either you kill me, one life for another!"

As early as when Li Qi brought him to the insect nest, Lu Ye had already wanted to kill him, but at that time Li Qi was obviously on guard against him. Even if Lu Ye could succeed in a sneak attack, the chances of his success were slim, and it would instead expose his own strength.

Because of Li Qi, he was captured and brought to the insect nest. Now even returning to the human race has become a luxury.

Because of Li Qi, the human race suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle at the wind-level stronghold.

It would be a shame for such a person to die.

This time Lu Ye got the chance, how could he miss it.

Li Qi didn't know Lu Ye's strength, and he was not on guard at all against the Insect Mother, which was why Lu Ye was able to succeed in one attack.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that his strength has improved in recent times. With the power of a hundred Daos now, even if his strength is not as good as Li Qi's, the gap is not that big. If Li Qi doesn't die, no one will.

Hearing Lu Ye's words, Youdie became obviously angrier, and the surge of her soul power became more obvious. What does it mean to fight for a life? If she really killed Lu Ye, could she still survive?

If it was before, it would be fine to abandon the split soul, but after a great battle with Jiuying, the split soul has completely merged with the main soul, and the life chain is also bound to the entire soul.

The bloated body was shaking slightly...

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll burn you when I get back. I promise you'll be in ecstasy!"

"Do you think you have me in your hands?" Youdie gritted her teeth. It was the first time she found this guy so hateful, but she had no way to deal with him.

Lu Ye sneered: "It is the Lady Insect who is determined to eat me! How about we remove the life chain?"

"Okay!" Youdie agreed immediately, "Do you dare?"

"I just said it casually." Lu Ye sniffed, then his eyes lit up, and he took out a small square tripod from Li Qi's storage ring and held it in front of Youdie: "Is this a Taoist soldier? Is it true? Am I seeing things right?"

I had long guessed that Li Qi, who was so integrated with the Dao, must have already started nurturing his own Dao soldiers, but it was a pity that I had never seen them.

But now he found it by touching the corpse.

"Get out!" Youdie was so angry that she didn't know where to vent.

"Okay!" Lu Ye didn't bother to be polite with her and walked out of the insect nest.

"Where are you going?" Youdie asked hurriedly.

"Ruins!" Lu Ye didn't even turn his head. The established itinerary could not be changed. Some of the things Jiuying had just said made him very concerned, so he needed to go to the ruins to find out.

"Take the stone worm with you!" Youdie spoke again, and then Li Qi's stone worm flew to Lu Ye's shoulder.

Lu Ye didn't care and went straight out of the core of the hive.

Only Li Qi's body and a pool of blood were left, but with the wriggling of the flesh walls, the blood and body parts soon disappeared.

Youdie was in a depressed mood. She had originally wanted Li Qi to take Lu Ye to the ruins, but Lu Ye killed Li Qi with a single knife.

She was too lazy to dispatch other Rong Dao back. She knew Lu Ye's strength. Most Rong Dao were no match for him, so there was no need to ask others to escort him.

As for whether Lu Ye would take this opportunity to escape... Youdie was not worried at all. The life chain was still there, and Lu Ye could not escape her control no matter where he ran. Moreover, as she had said before, from the moment Lu Ye was captured, he had been labeled as a member of the second insect-blood clan, and it was impossible for him to return to the human camp.

While she was deep in thought, Youdie suddenly cursed again: "Asshole!"

With the help of the stone worm's investigation, she discovered that Lu Ye was killing as he walked along the insect nest, causing a river of blood in the insect nest, and countless cultivators from the insect and blood clans suffered.

This bastard was hiding his true colors before his strength was exposed, but now that his strength has been exposed, he doesn't even want to act anymore!
With the help of the stone worm, he cursed Lu Ye a few times, asking him to stop being so presumptuous. However, Lu Ye ignored him and said leisurely, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill the stone worm too!"

Youdie felt like she was about to explode!
In the end, he endured it, but Lu Ye found that he couldn't kill anymore, because there was no trace of the enemy along the way. It was obvious that Youdie had warned them in advance, so that the monks of the Insect and Blood clans who might encounter him would avoid him.
