CHAPTER 1129: CHAPTER 15: IMMORTAL COMPANIONS ROAM FREELY, UNFETTERED ACROSS HEAVEN AND EARTH (PART 4)

Xiao Jie felt the warmth of the delicate body in his arms and looked at the surrounding scenery, feeling a sense of spring in his heart. The feeling of being an unrestrained immortal, wandering freely between heaven and earth, was indeed irresistibly pleasant.

By the time Xiao Jie and An Ran rode the auspicious clouds and reached the border of Canglin State, it was nearly noon.

High above the sky, with an excellent view, they could clearly see the distant Giant Tree City, the core main city of Canglin State. At this moment, it was tightly surrounded by dense, chaotic camps! Countless figures with various shapes, exuding a demonic aura, were bustling and gathering around the city like an ant swarm, besieging Giant Tree City with impenetrable tightness!

It’s the demonic army of the Demon Star Tower! Xiao Jie’s heart tightened, not expecting the situation in Canglin State to deteriorate to such an extent that even Giant Tree City, where the State Mansion was located, was heavily surrounded.

However, he quickly turned his thoughts around, thinking it might not be entirely a bad thing. Amidst peril, it’s the best time to offer timely assistance and demonstrate value. In such circumstances, negotiating cooperation and terms with Master Xiao Yue would undoubtedly increase the chances of agreement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie drove the auspicious clouds, beginning to slowly descend in altitude. Before they could get close to the ground, a squad of soldiers with wings on their backs quickly ascended to greet them. They were precisely the elite air force of Canglin State—the Canglin Heavenly Feather Army.

When the Heavenly Feather Army soldiers approached and saw Xiao Jie’s appearance on the auspicious clouds, they instantly shouted in surprise and joy in unison, "It’s Lord Hidden Moon Following Wind! Lord Sui Feng has returned!"

Due to Xiao Jie’s previous deeds, his reputation in Canglin State had long reached the "Respectful" level. Once these Heavenly Feather Army soldiers confirmed his identity, they immediately put away their defensive stance and flew to the sides of the auspicious clouds, respectfully escorting like guards.

The squad leader leading them was none other than Ying Baiyu, who had several encounters with Xiao Jie. He flew closer, speaking urgently, "Lord Hidden Moon Following Wind, please descend to the ground quickly! The sky above Giant Tree City is unsafe now, often troubled by demonic flying forces. Being an obvious target in the air might invite attacks!"

Truly, what one fears comes true! Just as Ying Baiyu finished speaking, everyone heard a nerve-racking, dense buzzing sound of wings coming from afar! Following the sound, they saw a massive group of flying monsters, resembling a dark cloud, swiftly approaching! The monsters numbered in the hundreds, looking like giant bees but with vulture heads, sharp mouthparts, and tails gleaming with a sinister light, wings vibrating rapidly.

Dark-winged Demon Bees (Flying Demon): Level 38. Life value 1600.

"This is bad!"

"Be careful! It’s the Poison Wing Demon Bee Swarm!" Ying Baiyu and the Heavenly Feather Army soldiers’ faces changed instantly, preparing for battle as if confronting a formidable enemy.

However, Xiao Jie just smiled indifferently, facing the swarming group of monsters, he didn’t even bother to change his Dharma Aspect.

He casually raised his hand.

Will Drives Five Elements—Cloud Burning Skill!

In an instant, a large patch of blazing red fire clouds appeared out of nowhere in mid-air, without warning! The fire clouds rolled and surged, as if alive, carrying scorching temperatures that burned everything, sweeping towards the incoming Dark-winged Demon Bee swarm!

Seeing this, the Dark-winged Demon Bees let out sharp screeches, flying in all directions trying to escape. However, the fire clouds covered a vast area and were incredibly fast, most of the demon bees couldn’t escape the coverage in time, getting instantly engulfed by the blazing flames, turning into burning fireballs, wailing as they fell from the sky.

The few remaining demon bees, seeing the unfavorable situation, didn’t dare stay, emitting a panicked buzzing, immediately changing direction and scattering, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the crisis was resolved. There was still a lingering burnt smell and some scattered sparks in the sky.

Ying Baiyu and his Canglin Heavenly Feather Army soldiers were all dumbfounded, mouths agape, unable to speak for a moment. The demon bee swarm, which they struggled to deal with, was so effortlessly incinerated to ashes with a mere wave of hand by this Lord Hidden Moon Following Wind?

"Lord Sui Feng... You, you actually possess such Heavenly Magical Power!" Ying Baiyu came to his senses, his voice filled with unbelievable shock and reverence.

Xiao Jie merely smiled faintly, as if he had done a trivial thing: "Take me to see Master Xiao Yue, I have important matters to discuss with the True Man."
