In the next moment, Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm charged into the headquarters of the Five Immortals Sect with their respective followers.
Dense swarms of poisonous creatures and venomous insects surged forward like a vast ocean.
The more than ten thousand slaves under Huang Shang's command also charged alongside them.
Among these ten thousand slaves were two to three Earth Immortals; when gathered together, they constituted a dreadfully powerful fighting force.
The Five Immortals Sect headquarters was a separate world known as the Five Immortals Realm. The sect members guarding the world's entrance hadn't even grasped what was happening before they were submerged by the oncoming tide of poisonous creatures and insects.
The next moment, Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm led the charge into the Five Immortals Realm.
Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo followed behind them, unhurried and composed.
Ye Yunfei knew that with Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's abilities, they were more than capable of dealing with the Five Immortals Sect.
No matter how many Earth Immortals the Five Immortals Sect possessed, they couldn't possibly compare to the force of Earth Immortals under Huang Shang's command.
While members of the Five Immortals Sect were skilled in Poison Arts and Gu Arts, Huang Shang had completely inherited the Poison Arts and Gu Arts of the Five Poisons Patriarch, so he had nothing to fear.
Ye Yunfei simply needed to follow behind, stepping in only when Huang Shang or the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm encountered true danger.
"What's happening?! Why have so many poisonous creatures and insects suddenly rushed in from outside to attack our members?!"
Chaos erupted within the Five Immortals Sect headquarters at this moment.
The two to three hundred Earth Immortals under Huang Shang ran amok, slaughtering without restraint, causing terrifying losses.
"Who exactly are you people?! Why are you attacking our Five Immortals Sect?!"
Several high-ranking elders of the sect appeared, shouting angrily.
"I'm your granddaddy!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm commanded a swarm of venomous insects to charge forward, shouting loudly.
"Everyone, attack together! Subdue these poisonous creatures and insects first!"
An elderly man with a weathered face, clad in green robes, appeared and bellowed loudly. This elder was one of the Five Immortals Sect's Grand Elders!
Woo… woo…
The green-robed elder pulled out a green conch shell and began blowing into it, producing strange, rhythmic sounds.
Soon, many more Five Immortals Sect elders appeared—some roaring, others cursing. Some charged toward the Earth Immortal experts under Huang Shang's command, while others began casting spells in an attempt to subdue the creatures and insects controlled by Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Quite a few elders also released large quantities of their own poisonous creatures and venomous insects to counterattack.
In moments, the entire Five Immortals Realm boiled over. Clashes, furious roars, and agonized screams filled the air, creating an uproar.
"Haha… wonderful!"
Seeing the Five Immortals Sect elders release their poisonous creatures and insects, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was overjoyed. Obtaining these very resources was the primary reason he and Huang Shang wanted to raid the Five Immortals Sect headquarters.
"All of you, heed my command!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately began seizing control, letting out a long, resonating cry that emitted strange sonic waves. In an instant, a large swarm of venomous insects released by the Five Immortals Sect elders froze mid-air, completely immobilized.
"All poisonous creatures, come to me!"
Huang Shang also began casting spells to take control. He scattered vast amounts of poisonous powder, creating billowing clouds of toxic smoke and fog that quickly enveloped a large area of space.
He then pulled out a bizarre-looking whistle and began playing it. The whistle was at least a dozen different colors, appearing gaudy and flashy.
A series of piercing notes, seemingly following a specific rhythm, flowed from the whistle.
A strange scene unfolded at this moment. As Huang Shang continued playing the odd-shaped whistle, some of the poisonous creatures released by the Five Immortals Sect elders began to waver, stopping in their tracks as if turned to stone.
Having obtained the vast troves of poisonous creatures and insects left behind by the Five Poisons Patriarch, along with the techniques for taming and controlling them, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Huang Shang had diligently practiced and mastered those arts. One could say they were now true experts in this field!
Compared to these Five Immortals Sect elders, they were not just equal—they surpassed them! On one hand, it was because the duo possessed innate talent in this area. Especially the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, hailed as the King of Ten Thousand Insects, was born with the bloodline and talent to suppress and command all manner of insect-like creatures.
Furthermore, the Five Poisons Patriarch was the most powerful Grand Elder in the ancient history of the Five Immortals Sect. The inheritance he left behind represented the sect's pinnacle achievement—naturally, it was extraordinary!
"How is this possible?!"
The Five Immortals Sect elders realized the poisonous creatures and insects they had released seemed to have lost their connection. They could no longer control them, and shock washed over them.
"That's the Five Poisons Patriarch's whistle! How did it end up in the hands of this Ghost Cultivator?! They say the Five Poisons Patriarch entered the Colorless Abyss long ago in seclusion, seeking divine inheritances. Why has his whistle appeared now?!"
Suddenly, a Five Immortals Sect elder recognized the whistle in Huang Shang's hand. Shocked and furious, he cried out.
"What?! That's the Five Poisons Patriarch's personal whistle?!"
"I heard the Patriarch had a special whistle—a premium treasure for controlling all kinds of poisonous creatures and insects. It was incredibly precious, originally one of our sect's guardian treasures! Unfortunately, it was taken away by the Patriarch himself and has been lost ever since! To think it would appear now in the hands of a Ghost Cultivator!"
…
Other sect elders also exclaimed in astonishment. Legends about the Five Poisons Patriarch and his whistle circulated within the Five Immortals Sect. None could have imagined seeing it now.
"Everyone, if we can obtain that whistle, the overall strength of our Five Immortals Sect will rise! That whistle is, after all, one of our Five Great Guardian Treasures. Let's attack together and retrieve it!"
A tall, gaunt elder with a pale face declared sternly. This elder was the master of the Five Immortals Sect!
"Haha… you're overthinking things, old man. Anything that falls into my hands, you cannot take back."
Huang Shang laughed with a ghostly chuckle.
Boom…
In the next moment, with a wave of Huang Shang's hand, his force of several hundred Earth Immortal experts surged forth menacingly toward the Five Immortals Sect Master. Terrified, the Sect Master turned and fled. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly fight several hundred Earth Immortals simultaneously!
"Quick! Release the poisons! Unleash every single potent poison stored within our headquarters! Spare no cost! We must poison all these invading enemies to death!"
The fleeing Sect Master roared his commands.
Following his angry shout, vast amounts of poisonous powders, smoke, and fog erupted throughout the Five Immortals Realm. The Five Immortals Sect disciples began releasing every type of deadly poison stored in their headquarters.
"Don't bother. Your sect's poisons are useless against me. Besides, don't waste these toxins. All of them, come to me!"
Huang Shang laughed, then utilized his poison-controlling techniques to begin absorbing those potent toxins.
Massive clouds of poisonous powders, smoke, and fog surged violently, converging endlessly toward Huang Shang before being swallowed into his stomach.
These deadly poisons not only caused him no harm but were a great supplement instead!
"Elder Huang's Poison Arts are actually this profound!"
Su Qingluo, standing by Ye Yunfei's side, was shocked at the sight and couldn't help but ask.
"Elder Huang has now merged ghost techniques, Gu Arts, and Poison Arts into one. His overall strength has reached the level of a near-Perfected Earth Immortal. Moreover, having cultivated numerous esoteric techniques, his combat power is formidable. The members of the Five Immortals Sect are no match for him."
Ye Yunfei explained with a smile.
"Elder Huang was originally just a remnant soul, yet following you, he has grown to such heights today. It's truly remarkable."
Su Qingluo said admiringly.
"So you only realize how amazing I am now."
Ye Yunfei teased with a grin.
"Don't get a swelled head."
Su Qingluo pinched Ye Yunfei's arm playfully, laughing.
"Master, Sister Qingluo, could you two not flirt right in front of me? Do you think I'm invisible!"
Hu Miao protested unhappily.
"Hu Miao, when did you become so gossipy! If you tease me any further, see what I'll do to you!"
Su Qingluo retorted with feigned anger.
"Master, look! Sister Qingluo is already using her status with you to bully me! You two aren't even formally married yet, and she's this fierce. What will happen when you do get married? I won't even have a place to stand! Master, hurry and bring her to heel!"
Hu Miao cried out.
"Nonsense! I'll rip your mouth off!"
Su Qingluo blushed crimson, shouting loudly.
"Master, save me!"
Hu Miao also shouted dramatically.
The two women began a lively, clamorous squabble.
"Sir, who exactly are you? What grievance do you have with our Five Immortals Sect, to launch such an attack? And why is our Five Poisons Patriarch's personal whistle in your possession?"
The Five Immortals Sect Master stared fixedly at Huang Shang, asking in a heavy tone.
By this point, most of the poisonous creatures and insects released by the Five Immortals Sect elders had been forcibly taken over by Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. The sect's forces had also suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, the poisonous creatures, insects, and various deadly poisons released by the Five Immortals Sect seemed utterly useless.
Nearly every member of the Five Immortals Sect trained in techniques for taming and controlling poisonous creatures and venomous insects, and they excelled in using poisons. This constituted a major part of their combat power.
Now that their Poison Arts and Gu Arts had been rendered ineffective, their overall fighting strength was diminished by nearly half!
"Enough talk. This master has come here today to wipe out your Five Immortals Sect! Just prepare to die obediently! Nothing you say will matter!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm declared domineeringly, having no intention of reasoning.
Having just seized a massive number of the sect's venomous insects, expanding his swarm dramatically, he felt triumphant and didn't regard the sect elders as worth considering.
Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm next commanded their followers to continue the massive slaughter of the Five Immortals Sect forces.
"Release every poisonous creature, gu creature, and all the accumulated, potent poisons left behind by our ancestors from the ancestral ground! The very survival of our Five Immortals Sect rests on today!"
The Sect Master knew that continuing the fight would inevitably lead to the sect's annihilation.
Their opponents had two to three hundred Earth Immortals!
Boom…
At his command, a deep region within the Five Immortals Realm seemed to open floodgates. Dense tides of all kinds of poisonous creatures and venomous insects surged out like vast oceans, sweeping toward the battlefield.
Every single one of these creatures and insects emanated an aura of timeworn desolation, clearly having existed for an exceedingly long time. Their combat prowess was dreadful—far superior to the creatures and insects previously released by sect members.
Simultaneously, massive amounts of colorful poisonous powders, toxic mists, lethal fumes, and various runes imbued with poison-related natural laws continuously erupted from deep within the Five Immortals Realm.
These were the full accumulated foundations of the Five Immortals Sect!
Faced with such staggering numbers of poisonous creatures, insects, and deadly toxins, even a Perfected Earth Immortal wouldn't dare confront them head-on, opting only to evade!
Yet Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm were instantly overjoyed.
"Haha… Now this is more like it! Worthy of me coming all this way! All these venomous insects are mine!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cheered excitedly, moving to meet those ocean-like swarms.
Huang Shang, his heart brimming with joy, also extended his senses and charged forward.
Witnessing this, the Five Immortals Sect elders were left dumbfounded.
"This is not good, Sect Master! Those two are looting our poisonous creatures and insects! Stop them quickly! These are the most critical assets of our sect's heritage!"
A sect elder reacted first, crying out.
"We can't stop them. They are too powerful. I'm afraid our Five Immortals Sect will have difficulty surviving this day."
The Sect Master sighed deeply, shaking his head.
"Evildoers always come to a bad end."
Just then, a cold, sneering voice rang out.
The Sect Master and the elders immediately turned to look. In the distance, beyond the rolling toxic mists, stood a young man and woman shoulder-to-shoulder.
"I recognize them! That woman is Su Qingluo from the Reincarnation Palace! And that man… he looks like Ye Yunfei!"
A few moments later, a sect elder finally recognized Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo. Pointing at them, he cried out in shock.
"So it's them!"
Every elder of the Five Immortals Sect paled with fright.
"That's correct. It's us. We have come today to eradicate your Five Immortals Sect."
Ye Yunfei stated calmly.
"That Ghost Cultivator and that Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm… they came with you."
Looking at Ye Yunfei's expression, the Sect Master suddenly seemed to understand everything and asked with a bitter smile.
"That's right."
Ye Yunfei nodded indifferently.
"I see. It seems our Five Immortals Sect will be wiped out today because of you."
The Sect Master surveyed the battlefield situation once more. At this moment, Huang Shang's force of several hundred Earth Immortals, along with his immense swarms of poisonous creatures and insects, were hunting down and slaughtering Five Immortals Sect members all around. The sect disciples barely had any capacity to resist.
Those several hundred Earth Immortals were Huang Shang's subordinates; naturally, they weren't afraid of the sect's poisonous creatures or potent toxins.
"Yes. Today, your Five Immortals Sect will indeed be annihilated."
Ye Yunfei nodded, his face expressionless.
Roughly one hour later, the Five Immortals Sect Master and one of their Grand Elders were swarmed by Huang Shang's force of several hundred Earth Immortals. In moments, their bodies were utterly dismembered.
By that time, every Earth Immortal belonging to the Five Immortals Sect had been slain.
The vast majority of the sect's disciples had also been slaughtered, with only a small, lucky minority managing to escape.
"The Five Immortals Sect has now become history."
Su Qingluo stood beside Ye Yunfei, witnessing the outcome with mixed feelings. She couldn't help but murmur softly.
Who could have imagined that the Five Immortals Sect, having been passed down through the Main World for countless ages, would be eradicated because of a single younger-generation individual!
"Haha, for my lord to personally come, a mere trifling Five Immortals Sect is nothing! Naturally, it can be wiped out just like that!"
Surrounded by his sea-like swarms of newly obtained venomous insects, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm swaggered over proudly, laughing uproariously.
"Looks like your gains today were substantial."
Hu Miao looked at the extremely proud Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, unable to resist asking with a grin.
"Of course! Now, all the venomous insects of the Five Immortals Sect belong to me! What's more, I've just scoured every inch of this world thoroughly, leaving not a single useful item behind!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added boastfully.
"Let's see what treasures you obtained."
Ye Yunfei inquired.
"I knew you'd try to take advantage of the situation. Here, you can have these. The rest are useful to me, so don't bother asking."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm waved a claw, sending over a hundred spatial rings floating before Ye Yunfei.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei accepted all the spatial rings.
At this moment, Huang Shang also walked over.
He had taken possession of every single poisonous creature, deadly poison, a large batch of tools and treasures for taming creatures, and all sorts of items related to Poison Arts and Gu Arts within the Five Immortals Sect.
Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had truly, thoroughly sacked the Five Immortals Sect!
"Alright. Let's hurry back."
Ye Yunfei teleported everyone into the Phantom Tower, then retrieved the Space Teleportation Token and activated it to travel toward the exit portal leading back to the Main World.
