589: Chapter 414 589: Chapter 414 “Mom and Dad, don’t worry, we have such powerful people here.
They are very capable!” Yan Weiwei was naturally a little nervous, but with her junior fellow disciples and senior fellow disciples by her side, and someone to depend on, she felt that such fear should not be shown.
Instead, she should make her family believe that today’s danger would be thrilling yet safe.”
Yan Weiwei’s older brother and younger brother were also afraid, but as men who needed to protect their families, they were somewhat more composed than fearful.
Their wives, holding their children and shivering, had no choice but to take the children and use their bodies and hands to protect their kids and spouses.
Yan Weiwei’s sister-in-law and younger brother’s wife were indeed very scared.
One had not yet had children, and the other had only recently given birth.
Watching the quietly sleeping babies, they were worried that in such a perilous environment, the path to becoming an immortal might not be navigated and they could easily lose their lives.
It indeed made them fearful; normally, even if they encountered fierce bandits, it was not as dangerous as the possibility of the entire family being wiped out.
Their greatest fear was the sharks, as well as the entity that was attacking them.
This time the odds were against them; before they left, they had promised their kin they would return.
To say nothing of coming home forever, whether they could survive was still an unknown.
Alas…the outside world could be so dangerous!
“Senior fellow disciple, what should we do?
My family is so scared.
Can we prevent them from seeing what’s happening outside?” Yan Weiwei sought help from Ye Tian.
Ye Tian’s lips curved into a slight smile.
Yan Weiwei was asking for his help instead of Jiang Tang’s, which satisfied his masculine protective urge.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Tian made it so that Yan Weiwei’s family could no longer see the outside scene, but they could still see them.
If danger approached, they could also fend for themselves.
Yan Weiwei, seeing the spell her senior fellow disciple had cast, knew that she, too, had the capability to perform such spells to protect her family.
Perhaps, with her senior and junior fellow disciples by her side, she had developed a sense of dependency which, although delightful, should not undermine her self-reliance.
Ever since Yan Weiwei entered the Immortal Sect, she had been quite self-reliant in her cultivation.
Regardless of others looking down on her for her poverty, or bullying her for her looks, she had always endured and fought back with strength and resilience.
She realized she was just like any ordinary woman, hoping to have a man by her side for protection, so that not every difficulty had to be faced with staunch independence.
Yan Weiwei’s resilience wasn’t so much a trait of her character, as it was an understanding and self-reliance born from poverty.
By Ye Tian’s side, not only did she feel secure, but there was also this blissful sensation of being cherished and protected.
She longed to keep Senior Fellow Disciple Ye Tian by her side forever, though she knew it might not be possible.
Ye Tian had his own missions, and even if she became his partner, she would likely have to be very strong to stay by his side.
Jiang Tang controlled his Flying Treasures to sink deeper into the sea, regardless of whether it was the ocean or the attacking magical artifact they faced.
He firmly urged his Magical Treasure to counterattack, sensing that those controlling the Flying Artifacts felt unsafe.
Why, aside from a few who were fearful, did the faces of the others show excitement?
Jiang Tang had yet to use his trump card; his two Spiritual Pets and two Avatars were still on standby, and he had more invisible Magical Treasures hidden.
High above the sea, over a dozen Mahayana practitioners, having found their target, had traveled from ten miles away to get here.
The group of Great Power Holders attacking the sunken Flying Artifact only felt their assaulting power being absorbed, and even worse, the counterblows coming from the artifact unleashed lightning strikes from the sea surface towards the sky, targeting them, the Great Powers.
The Great Power Holders in the sky kept dodging in a rather embarrassed manner, unable to make any impact or damage the foe, which made their collective attack seem like a losing endeavor.
They grew more curious about who was inside that all-terrain Magical Treasure and were eager to discover how they obtained and utilized the Buddha Seal!
Seeing that these opponents could not defeat them, Jiang Tang found it an opportune moment to counterattack, deploying his subordinates instead of his Avatars or Spiritual Pets.
He sent minor Worm Insects to deal with the dozen powerful adversaries.
Jiang Tang released a swarm of Golden Crystal Elves and white Moonlight Stone Elves.
As they emerged from the sea and slowly ascended into the sky,
the sharks in the ocean, sensing danger, dispersed to hide.
Even more perilous marine creatures also hurriedly avoided them in fear.
He could see some golden specks twinkling amidst the black fog that obscured the daylight, and both golden and white points of light that illuminated an area with a sparkling golden and shiny bright color.
When these two types of insect appeared, more than a dozen Great Power Holders felt it strange, as they had never seen such insects before.
The Worm Insects raised by Patriarch Dugu seemed to be greatly inferior to these insects, and when the two types appeared, his Worm Insects seemed to sense danger and fearfully scrunched up into a ball.
Patriarch Dugu…
before I even sent you to work, you turned into a bunch of frightened turtles.
I’ve raised you for so many years, and it seems I’ve raised you in vain,” he said, infuriated.
When the golden insects and the bright white insects appeared, the ancestor of Spirit Sect felt that his elves seemed very afraid, even adopting a posture of kneeling in worship.
Ancestor of Spirit Sect…
who exactly is your master?
I’ve raised you for so many years, yet here you are, betraying me from the inside out.
The other dozen or so had no idea what these reconstituted things were; they weren’t cultivators who raised insects.
Although they did raise pets, they could feel that their pets were very scared.
Great Power Holders…
Damn it, they haven’t even been sent out to fight and they’re already scared stiff, what useless creatures I’ve raised.”
The golden and white insects, however, did not care how scared the insects or spiritual pets of the Great Power Holders were, as they launched an attack.
The Golden Crystal Elves emitted golden poison gas, and the ancestors sensed the poisonous air around them.
“Damn, what is this stuff?
Everyone better be on guard, the gas these insects are spraying is poisonous!”
So said the ancestor of Tang Sect, and more than a dozen old folks immediately shielded their senses, casting defensive circles of light.
They had no time for further thought as the white insects also sprayed out a white luminous fog, another type of fragrance laden with toxicity.
Patriarch of Tang Sect…
If only I could harness these insects for my own use, my poisons are nothing compared to the gas these insects emit.
He knew many of his poisons could be countered with antidotes, but the toxicity of these insects was too strong; perhaps there was no antidote.
The master who raised these Worm Insects might have the antidote, but they were currently enemies, and the one who had released the attack seeds was vicious.
In an instant, numerous insects pursued the group of more than a dozen Great Power Holders.
These Holders were no cowards; their spells erupted in streaks of flames, along with various artifacts casting spells.
Those without fire powers used Fire Spirit Talismans, trying to trap or burn the insects to death.
Yet the golden and white insects seemed to fear neither, forcing these Great Power Holders to resort to other ultimate moves.
Jiang Tang, piloting a Flying Artifact, saw an opportunity for a brief respite when the Great Power Holders came under attack from the insects but did not stay, continuing deeper into the seabed instead.
The imager on the Flying Treasure’s wall showed the two types of insects attacking the Great Power Holders in the sky, but it didn’t capture the appearance of the Great Power Holders themselves.
This showed the depth of the Great Power Holders’ mana, being able to control from a great distance, with the insects unable to harm them for the time being.
For the moment, these people felt no danger, and as they exhaled in relief, everyone—men and women alike—looked at Jiang Tang with admiration.
This man was incredible, and who knew what other secret Magical Treasures he hadn’t yet revealed.
No wonder he remained so composed.
Indeed, the capable possess great skills and boldness comes with expertise.
Yan Weiwei’s family had their senses shielded, so they didn’t feel any danger and gradually calmed down.
They could sense the quietness around them, and some even let out cries of excitement and joy.
