Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784: Chapter 219: Entering the Insect Abyss, Gazing at the Palace Bell

The Ancient Insect Abyss, beneath the fissure separating the Divine and Demon Clans, is like a world isolated from the rest of existence.

All one can see when looking up is a narrow slit of sky.

"Is this the Ancient Insect Abyss?" Mu Qingge slowly withdrew her gaze from the sky and surveyed her surroundings. In the days since she’d entered the Demon Realm, she had finally arrived here and received possible news of Si Mo.

"Princess, the information is that a small tribe in the Insect Abyss recently rescued a man in the Great Marsh," Gu Ya murmured behind Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded slightly, pursing her lips.

This was the message that had been relayed, but whether the rescued man was Si Mo, no one could confirm.

"Why not send someone to investigate that tribe?" Mu Qingge voiced her question.

Gu Ye replied, "Princess, you are unaware that the Insect Clan in the Abyss is divided into various tribes, each isolated and self-governing. To defend against intrusions from other tribes, they have placed Insect Formations outside their territories, which are impossible to trespass without guidance from a tribe member."

Is that the case?

Mu Qingge frowned slightly. She couldn’t picture what an Insect Formation was but assumed it was nothing benign. Otherwise, with the Demon Guards’ abilities, they would not sit idly by.

Initially, they wanted to visit and then investigate, but knowing the Princess was concerned, they sent over the news promptly and waited for her arrival to investigate.

"Let’s go directly to that tribe, make a proper visit, and state plainly that we’re looking for someone," suggested Mu Qingge.

She had left the remaining matters by the Menglan River to Qing Ze and hurried to the Insect Abyss with the intent to find Si Mo. Now, regardless of whether the person is Si Mo or not, she was unwilling to wait any longer.

"Princess, let’s proceed to the rendezvous point first," Gu Ya reminded.

Gu Ye quickly added, "The two hundred Demon Guards sent previously to the Insect Abyss to search for Your Majesty will meet us at the rendezvous point and then lead the way to that small tribe."

Mu Qingge nodded slightly, suppressing her impatience.

Lowering her gaze, her eyes fell on the Palace Bell tied at her waist, pondering in her heart, "If the rescued person is indeed Si Mo, then what is his current condition? Is he conscious or gravely injured and unconscious? Why has this Palace Bell not given any indication?"

"Princess, let’s go," said Gu Ya.

Mu Qingge collected her swirling thoughts, nodded, and followed Gu Ya and the others forward.

This time, in addition to Gu Ya and Gu Ye, they brought three hundred Demon Guards, making a total of five hundred with the two hundred Demon Guards who had entered the Insect Abyss earlier to gather intelligence on Si Mo.

This number should suffice to handle any problems that arise within the Insect Abyss.

Deep in the Insect Abyss, within a remote small tribe.

Outside a wooden hut, a very handsome man sat cross-legged. On the ground was a bamboo mat to prevent his clothes from getting sullied by the dust.

In fact, even if his dark robes were dusted, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

In a corner behind him, the window was ajar. A young girl from the Insect Clan was hiding behind the window, resting her chin in her hand, stealthily gazing through the gap at his back and handsome profile.

It seemed as though quietly observing like this for a day would be delightful.

"Lingling, what are you looking at?"

Suddenly, an elderly yet loving voice startled the girl known as Lingling.

She scrambled to her feet, nervously tugging at her sleeve, lowering her head, not daring to meet the elder’s gaze. "Grandfather..."

The elder, leaning on a cane, though aged, wore a kind expression.

He glanced at Lingling, then at the slightly parted window, sighed with resignation, and shook his head, "Lingling, I understand your feelings, but he is not suitable for you."

Lingling lowered her head, biting her lip in grievance.

Her defiant demeanor made the elder sigh again from the heart. "In terms of appearance and demeanor, he is extraordinary. It is impossible for him to stay in the Insect Abyss for you, and our ancient laws forbid you to leave with him."

Lingling’s eyes clouded with disappointment at the elder’s words.

Unwillingly, she glanced back at the figure that captivated her at first sight. Reluctantly withdrawing her gaze, she stubbornly asked, "Grandfather, why can’t I go with him?"

"That’s the rule!" the elder’s cane struck the ground with a thud.

"Rules! Rules! You’re always holding onto these inexplicable rules!" Lingling protested loudly.

Her eyes reddened, as if feeling deeply wronged.

The elder, looking at her with a pained expression, softened his tone, "Lingling, if I’d known you’d react this way, I shouldn’t have agreed to let you keep him here back then."

Lingling’s face went pale, tightening her lips in silence.

The elder continued, "Anyway, remember my words. It is impossible between you two; don’t entertain delusions. Tomorrow, I will have someone send him out."

"Grandfather!" Lingling raised her head in disbelief to look at her grandfather.

The elder glared, "Why look at me like that? He has almost recovered, and although the Insect Abyss doesn’t restrict outsiders’ comings and goings, the Insect Clan doesn’t mingle with outsiders. Keeping him here for a few days has already been generous."
