"Sacred Object?" Lu Ye frowned.
"That was roughly what it meant. You could also understand it as a totem." Yiyi continued explaining, "They had followed Jujia for a long time. Jujia could help their pack grow stronger, so they would not let him leave... The Alpha Wolf also said that we could leave, and they would not stop us."
Lu Ye had come here this time to bring Jujia to join up with Fourth Senior Brother and Feng Yuechan. If he could not take Jujia away, what was the point of coming here?
They could certainly leave by force. With his and Jujia's current cultivation, they could fly through the air even without using Flying Artifacts. These Demonic Wolves did not seem capable of flight, so they could not possibly catch up.
But once Monster Beasts reached this level of strength, even if they could not fly, they still had means to attack enemies in the air. If they acted rashly and angered them, they might not be able to get away safely.
This was somewhat troublesome.
As though it had sensed Lu Ye's thoughts, the Alpha Wolf suddenly howled at him. Amber answered with an unyielding tiger roar. The next instant, Demonic Energy surged over the bodies of more than a hundred giant wolves, and chilling killing intent filled the surroundings.
Lu Ye immediately felt stinging pain on his skin. He raised a hand and gripped the Crag Mountain Saber.
Just as the tension was drawn taut as a bowstring, Jujia suddenly raised his fan-sized palm and smacked the Alpha Wolf on the head, sending it staggering.
"Behave!"
The Alpha Wolf shook its head, and the savagery in its gaze swiftly receded. The ferocity of the hundred-odd giant wolves also quickly went dormant, leaving them as harmless as livestock.
