Chapter 2397 - 1338:
He didn’t have that deep of a feeling for these ten wives yet, but he also knew this was his responsibility, and feelings were something that grew from spending time together.
The ten wives saw how powerful their man was, saw him bringing them out, and even coming to the world above the sea, a place they had never seen before.
Their eyes blinked with curiosity; some of them started chattering away, asking about this and that, while some were quieter. Even if they didn’t speak, their expressions already showed they wanted to know a whole lot.
Jiang Tang didn’t say much, but there were still Elves and Spiritual Pets answering their questions.
Green Ox was one of the pets who spoke on Jiang Tang’s behalf to the ten wives.
Because the other Divine Beasts were rarely seen, and the other Elves weren’t all familiar faces.
Eryao and Green Ox stayed by Jiang Tang’s side the most, and whenever Jiang Tang appeared, they would appear too.
Here in the Cultivation World, all ten wives knew Green Ox and Eryao.
They all knew these were Jiang Tang’s right and left hands.
You could also call them envoys, envoys with quite a bit of authority.
Everyone respected them.
Eryao and Green Ox, although they were just Spiritual Pets, were far stronger in ability than these humans.
They could barely curry favor fast enough, how could they possibly hate them?
The eunuchs at an emperor’s side are all respected; as for the Spiritual Pets at this Deity’s side, as the Deity’s wives they naturally had to show respect too.
...
Seeing his wives so lively, Jiang Tang of course let them say whatever they wanted.
Right now the wives were curious, and also cheering on the Divine Beasts and Elves.
Eryao, as the manager of these Divine Beasts and Elves, even though she didn’t personally go out to help, had already become the one in charge, sending the Divine Beasts and Elves contracted with their master out into the Undersea World to fight those Sea Demons.
They had to win, they absolutely could not lose. With their master supervising here, they had a powerful backing.
From time to time she blew her whistle to the Elves outside, giving them combat guidance.
When Eryao was commanding the Divine Beasts and Elves outside in battle, Green Ox stayed at his master’s side.
With Eryao directing, he had nothing to worry about. After all, the master was here, and this battle could only end in victory.
They had already discovered that Sea Demon. Although it had mostly taken on human form and possessed special skills, just like those Snow Lotus Flower Spirits, it could contract with humans.
The strongest among them were the Sea Demon Kings, but in terms of ability, those Sea Demon Kings shouldn’t be as strong as Eryao.
Green Ox had never actually fought that Demon King, but he was confident, feeling he had his own strengths; if he fought the Demon King, it wouldn’t necessarily end in defeat.
When these outsiders appeared in the Undersea World, some Demons in the air had already spotted them.
After many Flying Demons were defeated in battle, more and more Demons below had learned how formidable the intruders were and started reporting to the Undersea Demon King.
In the Undersea Demon King’s palace there were also many Demons even stronger than those currently fighting, acting as his right and left arms.
The Demon King’s transformed form was that of a rather lecherous-looking middle-aged man; at the moment there were many Demons transformed into women at his side. The Demon King was enjoying himself, beauties drinking with him, beauties dancing for him.
Some beauties were playing music, and there were also some trusted lieutenants, so‑called ministers of the Undersea World’s imperial court, accompanying him.
Just as the Demon King was reveling, a report from outside arrived, and his expression changed. Who would want intruders showing up and injuring his demon people and patrol squads right when he was in the middle of having fun?
Those Flying Soldiers guarding outside, and the ground Soldiers, couldn’t beat them.
The Demon King flew into a rage; as soon as someone finished reporting, the music stopped, and the singing and dancing halted as well.
When he got angry, those singing and dancing Demonesses quietly withdrew.
This was now the time for the king and the ministers to discuss matters, so they tactfully backed out.
The so‑called ministers were all very surprised too.
It had been so, so long that they’d practically forgotten when the last outsider had come.
When was the last intrusion?
That sudden intruder wasn’t human, but a Sea Demon from above the sea, and they’d wiped it out easily.
Their Undersea World was in fact just a world where Sea Demons from the heavens had fallen, and the reason there was a barrier under the sea...
Was that the Demons and humans outside this barrier wouldn’t discover them.
They had also tried leaving this barrier, going out into the external world to occupy some country, to occupy the Cultivation World.
A year ago they had actually joined forces with other Demons and other Demons, sending a portion of their own out.
It was just that those other Demons and Demons didn’t know they could pass through this passage, and didn’t know their origins.
The Demons they sent out were mixed into the ranks of other Demons, hoping to play the fisherman and reap the spoils.
When the Demons they sent out failed, the Demon King learned that the Cultivation World in fact had Ancestors sitting in town, and those Ancestors had abilities comparable to his.
But the recent outsiders had a certain ability, an ability that could defeat their Demons; the Demon King and Demon King sensed a lethal power, one that specifically countered them.
After discovering this, they no longer bothered about the Demons they had sent out.
They just hoped the outsiders who’d entered this Cultivation World weren’t here specifically to deal with them, that they’d only happened to pass by and lent a hand.
They thought they hadn’t been tracked down to this Undersea World, and assumed they were already safe.
Yet they had no idea why, today, this Undersea World of theirs had suddenly been invaded by these Elves and Divine Beasts.
They wanted to find out clearly why their location had been exposed.
Ordinary Demons rarely saw Divine Beasts in the Great Immortal Cultivation World, much less such powerful Elves. Their master was definitely extremely formidable.
For an army of Divine Beasts and Elves like this to show up here, their commander had to be even more powerful than them.
Although the Demon King was enraged, he was also cautious and only dispatched ministers to lead large numbers of Demons.
To preside over this great battle.
The Demon King also considered that he and the ministers in this imperial palace might not necessarily be safe either.
Even though this place was quite far from the battlefield.
Given the Demons’ flying speed, they would clash with those intruders very soon.
And with the intruders’ level of ability, it wouldn’t take them long to find this place either.
They did have the option of leaving through a passage in the back and abandoning this place; to lose in battle on their own turf and then still have to flee their own territory—of course they were unwilling.
No matter what, they had to fight at least once; only after fighting themselves would they know whether they would lose or win.
The Demon King sent out another group of Demons as well, with orders to lure out the master of these Demons.
Even if they couldn’t handle him, they could at least gauge the opponent’s strength and find out how many Elves and Divine Beasts had come.
The Demon King was also very aware that the Demons they sent out, when fighting one-on-one, in terms of ability still couldn’t compare to those Divine Beasts that had taken on human form, and were even weaker than those white flying bugs and golden flying bugs in the sky.
Those bugs would automatically form a Formation, trapping the Demons they sent out, and their combat power was extremely high.
Judging from that combat power, one bug could handle many Demons.
They had no idea what kind of bugs these were, what kind of Elves?
And there were also incredibly beautiful Flower Fairies; they had never seen such beautiful Flower Fairies!
The Demons they sent out were all stupefied when they saw those Flower Fairies.
Fighting such beautiful Flower Fairies, they kept feeling that fighting beauties, injuring beauties, just didn’t feel right. From the start they were all tender-hearted.
They didn’t realize that the beauties’ strength was terrifyingly high, so strong that they themselves ended up injured, defeated and hanging their heads in dejection.
With a single piece of clothing, Jiang Tang’s child-world already knew the location of the palace’s Demon King and those ministers.
He had already locked onto those Demon Kings and ministers.
Jiang Tang was just here to watch the show. This time was for giving these Divine Beasts divine tribulation, giving those Elves divine tribulation; he was only incidentally looking for a base.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t make a move.
He wouldn’t interfere in their fights, letting these contracted Spiritual Pets and Divine Beasts display their own abilities.
Letting them understand that the Demons outside weren’t that weak, and that even with a powerful master contracted to them, they themselves didn’t have that many advantages.
