At this moment, Luo Ying had focused all her attention on the Bee Hive before her. As for Luo Xiu's situation, she wasn't the slightest bit worried. Any concern for such a minor scuffle would be an insult to His Majesty, the Azure Emperor.

Just as she found the right moment to pass through the lightning net and approach the Bee Hive, a small porcelain bottle unexpectedly came flying through the air.

With a cold snort, Luo Ying didn't even look. With a casual wave of her jade-like hand, she sent out a streak of Spiritual Power that shattered the incoming bottle.

BANG! The porcelain bottle exploded in the Void, and an invigorating fragrance instantly filled the air.

Luo Ying's brow furrowed slightly as she glanced at Kuang Pi and Yaya beside her.

Kuang Pi's face was a mask of intoxication. Squinting his bear-like eyes, he inhaled greedily, unwilling to waste a single bit of the aroma. "Luo Ying," he said, "this is undoubtedly Thunder Paste."

Luo Ying turned her head toward the direction where Yao Yi, Yu Qingfeng, and the others had retreated, a faint smile playing on her lips. "So that's how it is."

The moment her voice fell, a harsh buzzing suddenly erupted. From the three huge Bee Hives on the Thunderstrike Wood, orbs of ball lightning began to emerge. Within moments, they had formed a swarm as dense as the stars in the sky, flying toward them like a blanket!

Kuang Pi snorted in disdain. "That old dog really played his cards well! It seems they had already obtained some Thunder Paste. Now they've marked us with its scent to attract these Thundering Bees. They intend to use the bees to kill us!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he leaped into the air and landed with a heavy thud, standing upright.

"Luo Ying, Yaya, quickly get behind me and cover your ears! Watch how I deal with them!"

Without another word, Luo Ying and Yaya immediately took shelter behind Kuang Pi.

They watched as Kuang Pi threw his head back and let out a long roar, a terrifying sound wave that immediately whipped up hurricane-force winds. Following his roar, a cacophony of crackling filled the Void as countless tiny arcs of electricity manifested and exploded!

This was Kuang Pi's unique Demon Art—Furious Thunder Roar!

In an instant, vast swaths of the encroaching Thundering Bees died, falling to the ground and turning to ash.

Kuang Pi smirked disdainfully. "A bunch of insects. You think you're the only ones who can play with lightning?"

"Impressive," Luo Ying praised, then acted without hesitation. Her lithe form flickered, leaving afterimages as she dashed toward the Bee Hive to seize the Thunder Paste.

But just as her feet touched the hive, a terrifying aura washed over her. A Thundering Bee as large as a young calf flew out.

Luo Ying instantly sensed the danger. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively drifted back.

"Luo Ying, be careful! That's the Bee King!" Kuang Pi shouted from the side.

The Bee King, crackling with electricity, shot dozens of meters into the air with astonishing speed, looming over everyone below.

"A bunch of thieves, daring to covet the Thunder Paste. You are truly courting death!" a sharp voice pierced the Void, grating on the ears.

In an instant, thunder roared and a deafening boom echoed! With a flap of its wings, the Bee King actually shattered the Void!

A colossal Thunder Ball shot from its body and exploded violently, spreading lightning in all directions. The Disciples of the Heavenly Gull Sect screamed as they were turned to ash, not even having had time to dodge.

With a grim expression, Luo Ying quickly retreated to Kuang Pi's side. "This Bee King seems to have ninth-level strength, and it looks like it can borrow the power of the Thunderstrike Wood."

Sensing the increasingly terrifying and potent aura, Kuang Pi said, "This is trouble."

Just then, the Thunderstrike Wood began to glow brightly, releasing a pure, potent force that the Bee King absorbed. The bee's body began to enlarge at an incredible rate.

In just a moment, the calf-sized Bee King had grown to be as large as an elephant! And it wasn't just its size that had increased, but its dangerous, powerful aura as well!

…

At that moment, in the Land of Lawlessness, Luo Xiu was crouched on the ground, looking thoughtfully at the Thundering Bees scattered all around him.

Since entering the Land of Lawlessness, these Thundering Bees had been caught in his Gravity Lockdown, rendering them unable to beat their wings. They were completely at his mercy. In the Land of Lawlessness, Luo Xiu was the absolute master!

"Little Pouch," Luo Xiu suddenly called out.

"Here I am, Big Brother," a palm-sized golden pagoda flew out from Luo Xiu's body.

Luo Xiu asked, "Can you raise bees in your pagoda's space?"

"Huh?" Little Pouch was momentarily baffled. "Big Brother, you mean… you want to use me as a beehive?"

Beside them, Dou Dou swung her tiny fists, threatening to pummel Little Pouch. "Dou Dou is just asking if you can do it or not!"

"I can, but that's… that's insulting! I'm a Treasure Pagoda, after all! How can I be used to raise bees? Big Brother, you're being too cruel! I'm your most beloved treasure!"

Luo Xiu stood up and asked, "Let me ask you this: eating your fill once, or eating your fill at every meal? Which do you choose?"

Little Pouch answered without a thought, "Every meal, of course!"

"Then it's settled, isn't it?" Luo Xiu said. "Take these Thundering Bees in for now. I'll go catch the Bee King later. If this venture succeeds, we'll have an endless supply of Thunder Paste."

Little Pouch immediately bought into the grand vision Luo Xiu painted for him and burst out laughing. "Excellent, excellent! Truly my Big Brother! Such vision, such perspective!"

Luo Xiu's left eye glowed faintly as he opened a spatial entrance. "Then I'll leave these Thundering Bees to you. I'm going out to check on Ying'er and the others."

Dou Dou followed closely behind him. "Chen Shuisheng, wait for Dou Dou!"

Upon leaving the Land of Lawlessness, however, Luo Xiu's brow furrowed. Contrary to what he had imagined, Luo Ying hadn't managed to get the Thunder Paste.

The gorge was now filled with terrifying energy fluctuations. Bolts of lightning flashed erratically in all directions, plunging the scene into chaos! Beneath the Thunderstrike Wood, Luo Ying, Kuang Pi, and Yaya were locked in a fierce battle with a giant bee the size of an elephant.

The Disciples of the Heavenly Gull Sect, including the grandfather and granddaughter Yue Qiu Gao and Yue Chuqing, were all down on the ground, gravely injured and unable to get up.

CRASH!

A sky-shattering explosion suddenly rang out! Luo Ying was struck by lightning, her slender body sent flying as she coughed up blood.

"Ying'er!"

Luo Xiu instantly flashed forward, catching her securely in his arms before she could hit the ground.

Seeing Luo Xiu, Luo Ying felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Young Master, be careful… The Bee King can draw power from the Thunderstrike Wood."

Luo Xiu gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Don't worry. Leave it to me."

"Dou Dou, take good care of Ying'er."

Dou Dou hurried over to support Luo Ying. She glanced fearfully at the giant Thundering Bee and said, "You go on, Chen Shuisheng! Dou Dou loves taking care of the wounded!"
