Han Li, though unable to understand Tuliwu's words, saw through his intentions at a glance.

With a flick of his sleeve, several thousand dull yellow bean-like objects shot out, transforming into thousands of Dao Soldiers that plunged into the insect tide.

Taking the opportunity to escape the entanglement of the insect tide, Jin Tong transformed into a golden torrent, and in a flash, stood before the Gray Toad Clan members. With a fierce wave of its two front claws, crystalline light swept out, instantly slaying most of the Gray Toad Clan members.

"Lord, spare me, Lord, spare me! Since you are of the insect race, why do you slaughter us? We, the Gray Toad Clan, are also insect envoys, all servants of the Insect Spirit Lord. Keeping you here is to bring you back to our insect race, so you won't be a pet driven by the human race anymore..." Seeing no way to escape, Tuliwu immediately knelt down, begging Jin Tong for mercy.

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Gold Insect truly ceased its attack. The golden light around its body subsided, and it returned to Han Li's side, reverting to the form of a young girl.

"What is this Insect Spirit Lord you speak of?" Jin Tong raised a small eyebrow and asked.

"You must not disrespect the Insect Spirit Lord..." Tuliwu's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly said.

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question," Jin Tong said impatiently.

"This... I don't know either. Our Gray Toad Clan is just a small clan among the various insect tribes. Although I am the head of the clan, I have never seen the Insect Spirit Lord, only heard of his great name," Tuliwu hesitated.

Seeing this, Jin Tong turned directly to Han Li and said, "Uncle, can we directly search his soul?"

"No problem," Han Li nodded and said.

With that, he pointed his finger forward, and a crystal-clear strand of light probed into Tuliwu's brow.

"No..."

His face revealed a look of horror, and just as he opened his mouth, his head exploded with a bang.

"Quite a powerful restriction..." Han Li frowned and said.

Seeing their clan leader die, the remaining Gray Toad Clan members, filled with shock and anger, charged at Han Li and the others once more.

A few moments later, the open space in the hills became completely silent, leaving behind only a scene of tragic corpses.

After Han Li retrieved all the Dao Soldiers, he turned his gaze towards the Xiang Jing Clan members who had not dared to leave without permission.

Those blue-skinned, long-necked alien beings were also stealing glances at Han Li and his companions, their eyes filled with both fear and doubt, appearing extremely complex.

"Th-thank you, Senior, for saving my Xiang Jing Clan from misery." The Xiang Jing Clan man named Tanshen hesitated slightly, but still took the initiative to step forward and bowed to Han Li, speaking in the common language of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

"Since you understand our language, you should know that I didn't come to save you," Han Li glanced at Tanshen and said slowly.

"Regardless, Senior killed the Gray Toad Clan members, which saved the lives of our clan members. For this alone, we should repay you handsomely. However, our tribe has been repeatedly attacked by the insect race, so we are truly powerless. Otherwise, we would invite Senior to be a guest in our tribe," Tanshen said apologetically.

"The beast race, the insect race, what exactly is going on?" Han Li originally wanted to dismiss these alien races, but after looking at Jin Tong, he had a thought and asked.

Tanshen's face showed a troubled expression when he heard this, and he did not speak immediately.

After a moment's pause, he continued, "The insect race and our beast race have become mortal enemies because of different beliefs. They have been fighting endlessly for a long time. Many large-scale wars have broken out in history, each with its own victories and defeats, and their strengths are relatively balanced."

"Beliefs?" Han Li glanced at the other Xiang Jing Clan members, puzzled.

"That's right. Our beast race has different tribes, each worshiping different True Spirit Sacred Beasts. Although there are differences between us, we generally regard True Spirits as our faith, while those insect races worship various Insect Spirits," Tanshen explained.

"I see. Alright, that's all, you can leave now," Han Li waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Senior," Tanshen bowed quickly and walked towards his clan members.

"Let's go too," Han Li turned back and said to Jin Tong and the White Jade Pixiu.

The White Jade Pixiu flashed with light, transforming back into a white jade pendant, hanging on Han Li's waist.

Jin Tong, however, hesitated, her expression somewhat strange.

Han Li knew it must be related to these insect race people, so he did not urge her.

At this moment, however, Tanshen returned and came before Han Li again, bowing and saying:

"Senior, after much consideration, I still feel it is necessary to invite Senior to the Kong Ling Tribe to fulfill our duty as hosts."

"If you are truly sincere, then let the person who is really in charge among your group come out and speak," Han Li said calmly.

Tanshen's pupils contracted slightly when he heard this, and he was extremely surprised in his heart.

At this time, the group of Xiang Jing Clan members stepped aside, making way for a person wearing a wide gray cloak and a face wrapped in gray cloth to walk out.

"Young Master Yi Fan, no..." Tanshen hurriedly stopped him upon seeing this.

The person ignored him and walked straight to Han Li, folding his hands in front of his chest and bowing to him.

Then, he took off the gray cloth covering his face, revealing a face that was almost identical to that of a human, extremely delicate and beautiful. The only slight difference was that his skin was light blue, his ears were slightly pointed, and he had two canine-like fangs at the corners of his lips, which made him look quite charming and exquisite.

"You're not a Xiang Jing Clan member?" Han Li's eyes narrowed, and he was somewhat surprised.

He had previously discovered that Tanshen's actions seemed to be under someone else's orders, and he thought it was an elder of his clan hidden in the group, but now he saw that it was not.

"Junior Nuo Yifan is the daughter of the Youchen Clan's patriarch. This time, I was ordered to unite the various beast clans to jointly resist the insect race's invasion. However, I didn't expect to encounter a joint attack by the Gray Toad and other clans as soon as I arrived at the Xiang Jing Clan, so I fled here. Fortunately, in this moment of crisis, I was saved by Senior," the blue-skinned woman said.

"Since you are the person in charge, then you are the one inviting me to be a guest at your tribe?" Han Li asked indifferently.

"That's right. Presumably, Senior is also here for wild hunting? Nowadays, the insect race is becoming increasingly arrogant, not only attacking our beast race, but also, it is said that they also ordered sand beasts to attack passing boats a few days ago. If Senior is not familiar with the terrain and environment here, it is very likely that you will stray into their territory. Although Senior's cultivation is profound, you will inevitably have to fight hard," Nuo Yifan said slowly.

"So, you're inviting me to your tribe for my sake?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"In addition to repaying Senior's life-saving grace, there is also a bit of personal desire, which is to hope that on the way back to the Youchen Clan, I can get Senior's protection," Nuo Yifan said frankly.

"Does your clan have a map of the Wildlands Realm?" Han Li nodded noncommittally and asked.

"The Wildlands Realm has a vast area, and many areas are occupied by various powerful creatures and powerful tribes, almost isolated from each other. Therefore, even our Youchen Clan only has maps of some beast race activity areas. As long as Senior is willing to escort us back to our clan, I will try my best to find all the maps in the hands of the various beast race tribes for you," Nuo Yifan said after a slight pause.

Han Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Deal."

"Thank you, Senior. May I ask what Senior's name is?" Nuo Yifan asked, a trace of joy flashing in her eyes.

"Li Feiyu," Han Li nodded and said.

Seeing Tanshen bring Han Li and Jin Tong back to the group, the remaining Xiang Jing Clan members' expressions all became a little strange, with both hidden fear and obvious wariness in the depths of their eyes.

Tanshen said a few words to the crowd in the Wildlands language, and then the Xiang Jing Clan members withdrew their gazes from Han Li and began to collect the bodies of their clansmen and the monsters they drove, with a clear division of labor.

At the same time, some clan members also began to collect the remains of the Gray Toad Clan members and the insects they drove, apparently with many things being quite good materials for them.

Before long, a clan member, under Nuo Yifan's instruction, sent a storage bone ring containing a lot of materials to Han Li.

Although Han Li didn't really care about these things, he still accepted them without hesitation. After all, if he didn't accept anything, it would probably make these Xiang Jing Clan members feel uneasy, thinking that he had some other intentions.

However, as soon as he accepted it, he gave the items in the ring to Pixiu and Jin Tong, respectively, so that the two could divide and eat them themselves.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the entire team was ready to set off again, heading south of the hills.

Tanshen led the way in front, while Han Li and Nuo Yifan walked side by side in the center of the team, surrounded by the Xiang Jing Clan members. Jin Tong and Pixiu had already transformed back into the beetle ring and white jade pendant, fastened to Han Li's hand and waist.

"Senior, after passing this hilly area, we will soon enter the activity area of a Hundred-Eyed Centipede. This beast is extremely powerful and fiercely tempered. It dislikes anything flying over its head the most. Once it encounters something, it will open all its hundred eyes and shoot out Bone-Shaving Divine Light, which most of the Xiang Jing Clan members cannot resist. Therefore, we can only fly away on monsters after leaving that area," Nuo Yifan took the initiative to explain to Han Li.

"It doesn't matter, the Wildlands is dangerous, so let's proceed with caution," Han Li said indifferently.

Now that he has gone deep into the Wildlands, the risks are unpredictable. Unless necessary, he naturally has no interest in provoking the alien beasts here.

Nuo Yifan nodded and said nothing more.

"Little White, in the days to come, teach me the Wildlands language when you have nothing to do," Han Li's expression did not fluctuate at all, but his mind was communicating with the White Jade Pixiu.

"Immortal Domain cultivators have always regarded the common language of the Wildlands Realm as the chirping of birds and beasts, believing that it is a low-level language that is not worthy of the grand hall. Do you really want to learn it, Master?" The White Jade Pixiu asked in surprise.

"Language is just a tool for communication. How can there be a distinction between noble and lowly? Just teach me," Han Li replied.

"Okay, since you want to learn, then I will teach you," Little White agreed.
