306: Chapter 244 306: Chapter 244 Jiang Tang went to the next room and asked Su Chang’an if he wanted to accompany him to North Cit Immortal Sect.
“I want to go too,” the Dugu brothers, having studied the language over the past few days, could speak it understandably, albeit not perfectly, when it came to simple phrases.
“Then I’ll go as well!
It’s been a long time since I’ve visited that shop; I wonder how it’s doing,” said Su Chang’an.
Although Su Chang’an had deployed members of his family to manage the shop, unlike the one in Immortal Venerable City, the shop on the main street of North Cit Immortal Sect did not sell supreme elixirs.
Such precious pills are not something every shop can handle; the shopkeepers dispatched, and their managers’ cultivation, need to be high.
Could those small places in North Cit Immortal Sect possibly hold their ground against Great Power Holders who rob?
This gentle man, Su Chang’an, would not think adults incapable of stealing.
As long as there is profit to be made, some people will do it covertly without showing their face.
Jiang Tang instructed the shopkeepers to look after the shop well, as he would be going out and people looking for him could only leave messages or use a technique to contact him over a great distance.
The reluctant shopkeepers were mostly concerned that the one supplying the supreme elixirs would not be present; once the current stock sold out, it would be difficult to obtain new supplies.
They would have to look everywhere for Jiang Tang, their supplier and boss.
As subordinates, they had no choice but to obey and could only secretly inform the Immortal Venerable City Lord.
However, knowing that Jiang Tang was going to North Cit Immortal Sect made finding him easier once he reached his destination.
Moreover, with the number of women accompanying him growing larger, the target was quite conspicuous.
News-savvy individuals from the Martial World would easily learn of his whereabouts with a little inquiry.
Upon receiving the shopkeeper’s report, the Immortal Venerable City Lord dispatched people to stealthily follow Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang brought out his flying arrow, and as everyone boarded, they set off toward North Cit Immortal Sect.
Yan Weiwei had already sent word to the representatives of the Immortal Sect within the Immortal Venerable City that the triennial martial competition was canceled and many Sects had begun to return.
Of course, some had not yet left, imbuing in them the desire to obtain the supreme elixirs that were the hot topic in the cultivation world.
More attention was on Jiang Tang and his shop as people discovered him leaving Immortal Venerable City.
Outside Immortal Venerable City, in the areas where Jiang Tang passed, danger was brewing with hidden followers and Divine Sense probing.
Sitting atop the flying arrow, Jiang Tang and his companions felt a more dangerous aura than usual surging toward them.
Intense Divine Sense forces bombarded the flying arrow, emitting a huge noise, and when Jiang Tang sensed danger, he unleashed a powerful barrier of light before them.
The flying arrow was not shot down; instead, it continued to fly forward undamaged, a testament to the quality of a Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space Magical Treasure.
With one person taking action, more Divine Sense forces and Magical Treasures targeted them.
Despite the multitude of attacks, all were absorbed by the barrier of light Jiang Tang had created, which remained unbroken despite the cacophony.
Jiang Tang knew that those attacking might not be from a single force but rather a multitude of powers or Loose Cultivators with Great Power.
Ever since he announced the sale of supreme elixirs, this was the first time he’d been attacked in such an orchestrated manner.
After leaving Immortal Venerable City, so many people began their assault in the open sky; with no one else to help them, they had to confront the enemy together.
The girls on the flying arrow, apart from Yan Weiwei, had never been attacked on their travels with Jiang Tang, but this time, they were faced with a major incident, clearly targeting Jiang Tang.
To the attackers, they were merely incidental cannon fodder.
Everyone prepared defenses, ready for a life-or-death struggle.
“Qianchen, it looks like I’m their target.
You protect the rest; I’ll handle these people,” said Jiang Tang.
“Jiang Tang, be careful,” said Su Chang’an, who was now at the mid-stage of the Ocean Wheel with combat power slightly weaker than Jiang Tang but still higher than anyone else on the flying arrow.
“Jiang Tang, we are not a burden to you; go ahead and do what you need to do!”
Dugu Yan’er released her Worm Insects.
“That’s right, we can take care of ourselves.
Just go make those who offend us regret even recognizing their ancestors!” Tang Yanhong held her clan’s poison ready to defend against the enemy’s attack.
With joint efforts, everyone on the flying arrow fought back against their attackers and sent a message to those assaulting them: if they wanted their lives, they’d have to put their own on the line.
Jiang Tang knew that among those attacking him were powerful individuals with cultivation equal to his own Spirit Mansion; he summoned his two Avatars busy with alchemy to join him in confronting the adversaries.
He also remembered the Golden Crystal Worms he had been raising in his space for a long time; these flying worms could show the enemy their might.
Jiang Tang released the Golden Crystal Elves he was nurturing in his space, including the largest worm which he had tamed and contracted.
Those on the flying arrow only saw a flash of Golden Light and many golden specks surrounding their flying arrow, circling protectively.
The enemy seemed to be in pursuit, striking again whenever a previous strike failed, with attacks from all directions loaded with the power of Magical Treasures and Divine Sense Attacks.
The Golden Crystal Elves around the flying arrow seemed undeterred by the enemies’ Magical Treasure attacks; firing off rounds of golden flames from their rears, they retaliated against the attackers from all sides.
They even began consuming the Divine Sense directed at them, effectively neutralizing it.
