Once the Tang Family group froze, the vines started to move.
The vines had only been surrounding them without actually approaching them, so they thought that the vines wouldn’t do anything to them.
But then all of a sudden, the vines started to move.
The vines that had been around the Tang Family group closed in on them as if they were about to grab them. They just slowly closed in around the Tang Family instead of going in to grab them like they did before.
It was as if whatever was controlling the vines could already see its victory, so it didn’t rush to grab the Tang Family group.
There were a few members of the Tang Family group that were still able to move in the end since the moth scales hadn’t spread all over the place. It had only spread in a certain area centered around the Tang Family group.
That meant that those who were still at the edge could move.
They did their best to cut the approaching vines, but it didn’t seem like they would be able to break free.
When the Tang Family group saw this, they knew that it was impossible for them to break free on their own.
Even though they were filled with doubts towards the other three groups, they had no choice in this matter.
So the Tang Family members that could still move called out to the Spirit Hall.
“Help us! We’re allies, so let’s work together to defeat them!”
But those pleas fell onto deaf ears.
The Spirit Hall group acted as if they didn’t hear the pleas of the Tang Family group.
Though it was clear that they heard everything since they weren’t far from the Tang Family group in the first place.
With the distance between them, it would have actually been strange if the Spirit Hall group didn’t hear them.
But that was what happened as the Spirit Hall continued to fight the ants attacking them without a single care for the Tang Family group. Though one thing that they did was keep an eye out above them for moths.
They had learned the mistakes of the Tang Family group and wouldn’t repeat them, so they were on guard just in case these moths appeared again.
The Tang Family group knew that it wasn’t working, so it wasn’t as if they kept dwelling on it.
Instead, they turned their attention to the other two groups.
Though they weren’t as close to the other two groups, they still grasped at straws since they knew that they were in the same situation. If they didn’t work together, it would only be a matter of time before they all died.
So the Tang Family members said…
“Work together with us! You know that this is our only option!”
“If we don’t work together, you’ll be consumed by these bugs and plants as well!”
“You know that this is your only choice!”
There were difficult looks on the faces of the other three groups, but no one acted in the end.
All of them just pretended like they didn’t hear a single thing that the Tang Family said.
It seemed that the seeds of doubt that Ye Qing Huan had planted in them had sprouted quite well in them as no one dared to help each other. It seemed that they would rather see each other die than to help each other and get backstabbed.
But with that kind of thought, it would only be a matter of time before they died.
It was just that it wasn’t only the Tang Family group that would die.
There were other bugs that suddenly appeared.
There were several beetles that had sharp horns that started attacking the Falling Willow Temple group.
Even though they had their golden bodies, they found that these sharp horns were actually strong enough to penetrate their golden bodies. The charge from these beetles were enough to create cracks on their golden bodies.
Since these golden bodies were manifestations of their physiques, that meant that each crack that formed on these golden bodies was an injury for them.
They were able to reform the golden bodies, but that didn’t mean that it was as whole as before.
The damage was building up until…
“Ke!” One of the monks suddenly collapsed while spitting out blood.
It wasn’t this single monk that spat out blood, but also several others that started spitting out blood. It was as if once the string of tension had been cut, there was no way to return to the way that it was before.
More and more monks started to fall from their internal injuries and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before they all collapsed.
These monks fell into the same situation as the Tang Family group.
Though they asked for help from the Mo Family group, they were ignored just like the Tang Family group had been.
It was clear that it was every man for themselves at this point.
The next to suffer were the Mo Family who suddenly had one member lose a limb.
Their arm was suddenly severed out of nowhere and they didn’t even know what had happened, but the arm suddenly disconnected from that person and flew through the air.
When it landed, it was swarmed by the ants that were on the ground and devoured in seconds.
This was the most terrifying thing that had happened so far and all of them were terrified seeing the bones left on the ground.
The one that was the most terrified was the one that had lost their arm.
But this person wasn’t the only one that was losing something.
It was small cuts at first, but eventually there were more and more people that were losing parts of their bodies.
Fingers, ears, toes, even legs and arms.
These slashing attacks seemed to come out of nowhere and cut these parts of them off before they could even see what happened.
The first casualty actually came from the Mo Family as the first person to have their arm cut off had bled out to death.
Even though they stopped the bleeding, they found that the stub kept bleeding because there were ants that snuck to the wound and opened it up again. No matter how they tried to stop it, the ants would sneak through and bite into the wound to open it up again.
Eventually, there was just no more blood left to come out and that person died.
Finally, there was the Spirit Hall.
They had their flames which they used to keep the ants away, but they found that just this alone wasn’t enough to keep all of the ants away.
There were ants that were covered in flames that broke through and attacked them.
These ants were much stronger than the other ants and they left burn marks wherever they attacked. The flames that the Spirit Hall group used just didn’t have any effect at all against these ants.
It was as if they were even empowering the ants as their flames were actually absorbed by these flame covered ants.
It seemed that it was only a matter of them before they were surrounded by the flames.
There were even some of them that were collapsing because they had overdrawn themselves from using the flames against the bugs.
This really was a desperate situation for all four of these groups.
That meant that it was a very good situation for Ye Qing Huan who was watching from above.
After she had sowed the seeds of doubt in the four groups, Ye Qing Huan didn’t make a single move. She had even called back the wraiths that had been moving around between the four groups.
It was as if she was waiting for the right opportunity to make her move.
When Ye Qing Huan saw the desperate situation that these four groups were in, she knew that it was her time.
So with a wave of her hand, the wraiths once again went forward.
These wraiths didn’t have a single target, they were targeting all four groups at once.
There was an ant that had been covered in flame suddenly froze and was covered in ice.
There was a mantis that fell out of the vines that it was hiding in while covered in ice.
There was a moth that dropped to the ground frozen.
There was a beetle that was encased in ice that landed on the ground.
All of these were caused by the wraiths that Ye Qing Huan released.
At the same time, she made sure that all of them were able to see the wraiths that she sent out.
There were some doubts that appeared in the four groups when they saw these wraiths appear, but it was already too late for them to do anything else.
At this point, they had been pushed to the brink and could only believe one thing.
The wraiths were working with their enemies.
That was the only truth that they could accept at this point.
So all of the four groups gathered up what little power they had and then…
They all aimed for each other.
“If we’re going down, then we’re taking you with us!”
That was the only thing that they were thinking right now.
So after gathering their powers, all of them released their attacks and there was a large explosion that followed.
Once the dust settled and the flames cleared…there was no one left standing.
Even the bugs and vines had been damaged to a certain extent by their attacks.
