They didn't have the Earth Master's Gaze nor any secret techniques to probe the underground, so naturally, they were unaware of what was happening below.

They wanted to ask about the current situation, but seeing Xu Ping's grave expression, they closed their mouths and obediently held the array flag, continuously injecting mana into it.

Compared to Song Li, Pang Po, and others' nervousness, Xu Ping's mood gradually relaxed.

Because, under such a tight encirclement by the sturdy barrier formed from condensed earth energy.

The Second-stage Spirit Worm's activity range had been compressed to the extreme, like a bird in a cage, with no hope of escape.

Crack!

Rumble!

With a ground-shaking tremor, the earth suddenly and unexpectedly split open with a gigantic crack several yards long.

The next moment.

The enormous body of the Second-stage Spirit Worm was violently thrown out of the crack, as if by some irresistible force.

At this moment, its eyes were blood-red, and it let out an extremely furious howl towards Xu Ping and the others.

However, its scales were already damaged in many places, and the eerie green light had dimmed a bit, exposing its weakness.

"It's forced out!!"

Seeing this scene, Pang Po, Song Li, and others were instantly hit with a wave of ecstatic joy, their faces lighting up with wild excitement.

They didn't expect that this guy named Li Feiyu really had skills, managing to actually force the Second-stage Spirit Worm out from underground.

But before Pang Po, Song Li, and the others could recover from this immense joy, Xu Ping had already seized the moment, charging down like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he was ghost-like beside the Second-stage Spirit Worm.

Xu Ping's hands shot out like eagle claws, precise and firm, seizing the head of the Second-stage Spirit Worm.

His hands were like iron clamps, tightly holding on, not giving the Second-stage Spirit Worm the slightest chance to break free.

"Hiss!"

The Second-stage Spirit Worm, feeling its head restrained, was filled with extreme anger, letting out another sharp howl.

At the same time, an intense green light burst from its body, like a tangible blade, seeming to shred everything around it.

Following that, its body began to swell dramatically, muscles tense, strength overflowing. It desperately writhed its enormous body, attempting to break free of Xu Ping's iron-like grip.

For a moment, strong winds rose, dust flew, and the scene was chaotic.

However, Xu Ping remained unfazed, his body surrounded by a surge of blood-like energy, an immense power from deep within erupting like a volcano.

This power was overwhelming, indestructible, firmly suppressing the Second-stage Spirit Worm, rendering all its frantic struggles futile.

In the next instant.

Mana from Xu Ping's dantian rushed through specific meridians, flooding into his hands.

With a flash of blinding spiritual light, dense patterns of restriction arrays appeared on the surface of the Second-stage Spirit Worm.

As the restriction patterns emerged, the green glow on its surface gradually dissipated, and its struggling ceased.

Its eyes rolled white, and it instantly fell into unconsciousness.

"The Second-stage Spirit Worm is secured!" Xu Ping relaxed.

The most critical task had been completed smoothly, making everything that followed much simpler.

However, compared to Xu Ping's relaxation and joy, Song Li and the others were filled with complex emotions.

They never expected Xu Ping to act with such speed.

While they were still in shock and hadn't reacted, he had efficiently captured the Second-stage Spirit Worm.

Pang Po's eyes turned, a smile appearing on his face: "Congratulations to Daoist Li for achieving your goal and capturing the Second-stage Spirit Worm. Such extraordinary skill truly commands our admiration."

Changing his tone, he continued: "However, the Second-stage Spirit Worm is inherently wild and hard to tame. Completely controlling it is no easy task."

"Our Hundred Beasts Sect has considerable experience in taming exotic beasts. Why not hand this Second-stage Spirit Worm over to us? We can help you tame it."

"This way, the Second-stage Spirit Worm can be made to serve at its fullest for Daoist Li."

Pang Po's tone was sincere, his words earnest, appearing to genuinely have Xu Ping's interests at heart.

But Xu Ping, who already knew their intentions, would certainly not be deceived by such nonsense.

"No need to trouble Daoist Pang, I have my own plans," Xu Ping replied indifferently.

Saying this, he reached out and grabbed the Second-stage Spirit Worm, directly stuffing it into the spirit beast pouch hanging at his waist.

His pouch was of low grade and its space was limited.

Stuffing the entire Second-stage Spirit Worm into it made it a bit cramped.

But the currently unconscious Second-stage Spirit Worm obviously had no complaints.

Seeing Xu Ping succinctly refuse and swiftly pocket the Second-stage Spirit Worm, Pang Po's eye twitched, the smile he had been desperately maintaining instantly becoming stiff and forced.

Even so, he feigned sincerity: "Li... Li Daoist, I really meant well. If you don't tame the Second-stage Spirit Worm, you risk it escaping, and that would be a huge loss."

During this exchange, apart from Song Li, several Hundred Beasts Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators subtly surrounded Xu Ping.

Observing this, Xu Ping didn't appear even slightly flustered or anxious, instead displaying an amused expression:

"Oh?"

"Is the Hundred Beasts Sect planning to betray its word?"

"Daoist, you jest, we were only..."
