1078: Chapter 659 1078: Chapter 659 Jiang Tang controlled the flying magical treasure, circling once around the landing spot!
The area he flew over began with a vast mountain range, which was not an uninhabited place.
It seemed to belong to a major sect, and this sect appeared very bustling.
Its liveliness came from the flying demons constantly battering the sect’s mountain protection array atop it.
A dense swarm of flying demonic beasts could be seen, among which was a group of werewolves ruled by the flying demon wolf king.
These creatures resembled humans but weren’t fully human, covered in fur and without clothing, appearing monstrous!
The sounds they produced were eerie howls of “Awooo,” paired with glowing green eyes that were fierce and terrifying!
Through the sect’s transparent mountain protection array, one could observe that the major sect was on high alert, awaiting an incoming assault from ferocious beasts.
Apart from the powerful cultivators holding guard, others were also on edge.
The outer and inner sect disciples, recognizable by their robes, wore light blue attire marked with their sect identity.
Some direct disciples stood out in bright red clothing!
Jiang Tang scrutinized the scene, noting that this sect housed formidable masters — a Mahayana-stage old ancestor in seclusion and a Sect Leader who had reached the Spirit Mansion realm.
Six peak masters were at the Ocean Wheel realm.
Six elders were at the Foundation Establishment stage!
The direct disciples ranged from Golden Core to Foundation Establishment to Qi Cultivation stages!
Thousands of outer and inner sect disciples focused on artifact refining and cultivating towards the Golden Core stage!
This sect was called Bishui Sect.
Why was it named as such?
What lay behind its name?
Despite its location in the mountain range, far from the sea, the sect appeared to be populated mostly by alchemy-focused cultivators.
These mountains were mainly used for Spirit Fields to cultivate Spirit Grass and Spirit Rice.
Each mountain peak had dwellings scattered around — homes for the sect’s disciples, and the necessary buildings for sect activities that one would expect from any Immortal Sect!
Flying magical arrows and flying artifacts darted quickly through the high skies, attracting the chase of some flying demon wolves with glittering green eyes.
Some flying wolves pursued the flying artifacts in a chase through the sky, and this activity was observed by the members inside Bishui Sect.
High-ranking sect members convened a meeting upon receiving reports of an unidentified flying object speeding past, drawing away some of the flying demon wolves!
The high-ranking members began to discuss: “Could it be that reinforcements have arrived for us?”
“That doesn’t make sense.
If another Immortal Sect or the City Lord’s Mansion were coming to aid us, we wouldn’t have been trapped here for two months already.”
As their discussion continued, they reminisced about the initial surprise attacks from demon wolves that took the lives of many outer and inner sect disciples.
Fortunately, they had activated the mountain protection array swiftly.
However, some disciples who were outside on missions couldn’t make it back.
The high-ranking members sent several peak masters to survey the outside situation, discovering that five major sects were similarly besieged by demons!
The cities also faced upheaval, with various demons breaching their walls — harming low-cultivation-level individuals and ordinary people!
Minor noble clans, major noble clans, and smaller sects were all preoccupied with safeguarding themselves!
Even Bishui Sect had to prioritize protecting itself.
Who could they turn to for help?
Distant waters cannot quench near fires — no one knew how the beast tide suddenly appeared in the cultivation world, seemingly out of nowhere!
Here in Ten Directions City, the demons had grown wildly rampant, as if bent on annihilating humanity!
Bishui Sect’s Sect Leader listened silently to the incessant discussions.
At present, the sect could only focus on its own survival.
Bishui Sect, comprising over 2,000 individuals, was fully reliant on the yield from its Spirit Fields while trapped.
Initially thriving through alchemy and selling pills, the sudden assault of demon wolves had led to rapid depletion of magic artifacts, talismans, and supplies from the Mission Hall, which could no longer keep up.
All hopes now rested on ensuring the mountain protection array remained intact!
“Let’s go and check!
Perhaps someone truly powerful has arrived in our region — we might be able to seek their help!”
One elder proposed the idea with optimism, a rather naive suggestion!
Others agreed it was worth investigating.
Even if such a powerful figure existed, help would surely come with strings attached.
For the sake of the cultivation world, for the sake of Bishui Sect, the necessary resources would have to be offered!
Bishui Sect was far from impoverished — after all, pill-making was a highly profitable venture.
Despite being trapped for two months and unable to sell their alchemical products, they still had deep reserves accumulated through years of success.
As a major sect, Bishui Sect possessed substantial foundations.
While their precarious entrapment had so far resulted in minimal losses, the increasing constriction of their situation spelled escalating danger!
Among the flying demon wolves in the sky, the strongest were at the Soul Condensing stage, equivalent to the Ocean Wheel stage of human immortals.
The weaker ones in humanoid forms, as half-demons, were akin to the Nascent Soul stage of human immortals.
Outside, the sect’s mountainous arrays faced attacks from beings with power exceeding that of many sect disciples!
If the array were breached, numerous humans would be injured or killed!
The sect discovered that these flying demon wolves consumed human flesh, absorbing the cultivators’ energies to grow more powerful.
Suddenly, demons originating from the demon realm emerged, putting both ordinary people and human immortals in peril!
“Continue strengthening the mountain protection array.
I, the Sect Leader, will venture out to investigate the source of this extraordinarily fast flying artifact!”
Bishui Sect’s Sect Leader and others closely examined the image recorder, observing the never-before-seen flying magical treasure moving at astonishing speed!
They speculated that it could belong to an immensely powerful figure, perhaps someone of greater strength than even the old ancestor.
Such high-speed flying treasures might very well be Immortal Treasures.
“No, Sect Leader, it’s far too dangerous for you to go.
You should remain here and oversee everything.
Let this Peak Master go instead.”
High-ranking members, including peak masters and elders, eagerly volunteered to head out and invite this possible savior into their midst!
