1079: Chapter 659_2 1079: Chapter 659_2 Actually, they wanted to know what kind of Immortal Treasure Flyer it was, eager to take a look!
Even more, they wanted to get close to the Great Power Holder!
If there were powerful Great Power Holders traveling outside, would they really lend their aid?
Maybe it wasn’t a Great Power Holder from Ten Directions City traveling, but rather a Human Immortal from The Upper Realm.
Having close contact with such figures could potentially lead to opportunities!
The Sect Leader had not expected these Peak Masters and Elders to be so shameless—what preparation for “guarding,” indeed?
Wasn’t it really just because they’d been trapped here for two months and wanted to get out for a breath of fresh air?
Outside, there wasn’t any lack of danger; but danger and opportunity go hand in hand.
Ultimately, two Peak Masters decided to accompany each other outside to observe.
Amidst envious gazes, they swiftly set out!
They used flying techniques to ascend to great heights, unlocked an Array at a break in the defenses with fewer Demon Wolves, and just as they exited the array gap…
They encountered Demonic Beasts rushing over to attack upon sensing the appearance of a Human Immortal!
The two Peak Masters, unwilling to stay and fight, stuck Invisibility Talismans onto themselves and flew off rapidly!
The Flying Wolf Demons, realizing how cunning the Human Immortals were, jointly attacked the spot where the Human Immortals had appeared earlier.
The area struck by so many Demon Wolves became overwhelmed with swirling vortexes of Spiritual Power in the air!
The ground at the base of the nearby mountain was riddled with craters, billowing smoke and dust, intermixed with the furious howls of demons!
The Flying Wolf King noticed an unusual Flying Artifact—one even faster than its own flight—sparking its curiosity and desire to possess it!
A portion of Flying Wolf Demons branched off to pursue and protect the Wolf King, but soon lost sight of the swift-moving artifact!
Just when they were about to turn back to return and lay in wait…
The Demon Wolf King saw the humans stationed nearby, the two high-powered ones who had emerged and fled!
To the Wolf King, these two individuals were merely equivalent to itself in power.
Even though they were two, it had underlings accompanying it, so it roared authoritatively: “Awooo…!”
This was the Wolf King’s signal for its subordinates to attack the two cultivators, also summoning even more underlings to continually besiege the two cultivators!
The two Peak Masters of Bishui Sect hadn’t expected that despite having rendered themselves invisible, these Flying Wolves, with their dog-like noses, would still sniff them out!
Especially the Wolf King, which possessed a special tracking sense akin to a dog’s nose for humans!
As more Flying Demon Wolves surrounded them, they refused to remain stationary.
Before they could be completely encircled, they dashed swiftly toward the direction of the city!
The Flying Wolf King realized these cunning humans were trying to escape.
Initially planning to remain motionless in midair and let its subordinates handle them…
But as the crafty humans fled again, it could only launch into action itself!
The Flying Wolf King, partially transformed into a Half-Demon, wielded a strange iron rod in its hand!
The Flying Wolves also wielded peculiar iron rods, continuously unleashing Wind Blade attacks.
This kind of sharp weapon, radiating a bluish glow, resembled the blade of a sword; being hit meant injury, even death!
Still invisible, the two Peak Masters dodged left and right, hoping their opponents wouldn’t discern their direction, missing their strikes!
They weren’t merely fleeing; as though they had eyes on their backs, they counterattacked against their pursuers!
Apart from the Wolf King, the other Flying Wolves weren’t as formidable as the Peak Masters.
One of them, possessing a Fire Spirit Root, employed Fire Spirit Root Techniques.
The Flying Wolf King and the Demon Wolves feared fire the most.
Flames burst forth before them, scorching their fur, filling the air with the pungent smell of burning hair!
The other Peak Master fought using Ice Spells, throwing chunks of icy water toward other pursuing wolves!
The Wolf King and its underlings found themselves tossed between fire and ice, alternating between searing and freezing.
Chilled one moment, burned the next!
The sudden temperature fluctuations left them deeply uncomfortable!
The Flying Wolf King, ordinarily exceedingly arrogant, prided itself on its majestic snowy-white fur as a symbol of its power, only to suddenly discover today that its fur had been scorched by flames!
The Wolf King’s rage ignited, launching fierce attacks in fury!
Unlike its earlier passive stance, it now meant serious action—not merely encirclement, but a full-on effort to kill these two cunning humans!
But how could cunning humans possibly remain in one spot to be struck?
They flew in spirals, battling as they maneuvered, staying mindful of their mission this outing!
Previously, many had proposed the trip, all because these two possessed Spell Techniques effective against Demon Wolves, capable of delivering surprise strikes on them!
The results were impressive, forcing even high-ranking figures within the Sect to reluctantly approve their departure!
Jiang Tang was unaware of how many cities or nations might exist within Sirius.
While flying swiftly in their artifact, they saw many demons but no signs of ordinary people moving about.
No bustling civilians strolling streets could be seen!
Moreover, they noticed many Sect families and Noble Clans surrounded by Demon People!
Observing the ground, they faintly spotted scattered white bones!
These were not animal remains—they clearly belonged to humans or ordinary people.
The bones bore none of the aura of Spiritual Energy, exuding only a dreary stench of decay!
Jiang Tang was deeply perplexed, discussing his observations with Ye Tian, Eryao, and Green Ox.
Uncertain of the situation, they suspected Demonic forces or sinister cultivators had assaulted humankind!
But no matter how they searched for a normal person to inquire about what had occurred, not a single one could be found!
Ye Tian had also checked the Image Recorder just before.
Though this wasn’t his domain to manage, seeing humankind so ruthlessly oppressed by demonic forces filled him with anger!
Perhaps it was his occupational instinct!
“Jiang Tang, why don’t you use the Flying Artifact to return to where those Flying Wolves were?
Don’t you think they were acting strangely?
This is Sirius!”
Jiang Tang thought about it and agreed; it seemed likely there were leaders among the demons.
Otherwise, why would they emerge from the Demon Realm to harm humans?
Like a sudden outbreak of war, perhaps these demonic forces were here to compete with humans for resources!
But this wasn’t merely about competing for resources—it was out-and-out harm to civilians.
Ignoring it was one thing, but seeing it and standing by?
How could he be indifferent?
Jiang Tang silently turned his gaze skyward.
“For slaying demons and eradicating devils, shouldn’t the Heavenly Dao reward me more generously?”
The Heavenly Dao appeared unresponsive, though Jiang Tang caught sight of a faint shimmer of golden light flashing across the sky, floating before him and merging into his body!
“Hey, hey, hey, I wanted the Light of Merit, not the main character’s glow!
I’m already the protagonist!
I’m naturally the Bearer of Destiny!”
Jiang Tang muttered to himself, a voice overheard by his pets and Ye Tian.
Ye Tian saw this as the perfect opportunity to take action: “Jiang Tang, if you don’t want to be the protagonist, then give me the protagonist’s glow so I can shine brightly!”
“Give it to me instead!
Every time it’s me putting in the effort!” Eryao tried to seize the protagonist’s role, having long felt relegated to a mere supporting character!
“Oh, oh,” Green Ox murmured to himself, unsure what to add.
His plight?
Always a sidekick!
As for Ye Tian… I’m not even the sidekick.
Isn’t it fair for me to fight for the protagonist title now?!
“No way.
You’ve already had plenty of chances.
You should stick to completing missions for the General!
I’ll reluctantly take the lead since Heavenly Dao chose me as the protagonist, sigh!”
Jiang Tang’s tone was infuriating.
Aside from Ye Tian’s playful remarks, the two pets beside him were genuinely only arrogant in demeanor.
Could they truly overshadow their owner?
The Flying Artifact reversed course, yet Jiang Tang hadn’t planned to act directly.
Having previously encountered those Flying Wolves, he knew wolves feared fire most; he released the Qianji Fire!
The Qianji Fire was a Fire Spirit he had subdued—one of the most dominant types, capable of killing invisibly.
Using it now against these demons tormenting civilians was ideal!
Another Fire Spirit wasn’t bad either, currently assigned to tasks inside his spatial space, with its avatar assisting in Alchemy!
Jiang Tang preferred a free-range approach for the Qianji Fire, summoning it only when necessary, like now!
Summoned by its master, Qianji Fire reluctantly flew around Jiang Tang.
Ye Tian could only feel the intense heat billowing toward him!
Ye Tian thought, “How come I don’t have a contract with such an incredible Fire Spirit?”
If he had a powerful Fire Spirit like this, his calligraphy skills and Alchemy Skill would advance to new heights!
