Chapter 1158: 1158
The golden giant dragon’s breath caused the creatures that Agares placed near the pathway to be completely wiped out .

Saleen held the magic compass and looked left and right, and in the surroundings of the ant’s nest, he very quickly found the entrance of the spatial pathway .
It was a cycad tree, and the tree trunk in the air was the pathway . The cycad tree had been arranged on top of it .
Agares had not done much for concealment . Once Saleen found the tree, any other measures for concealment was meaningless . The hollow in the tree was about the height of a person . If Saleen entered, there would be no need for him to bend over .
Agares was testing Saleen’s courage . The tree hollow was small, so would he dare to enter?
A mage, facing an assassin of the same level, would they not be afraid?
Saleen shook his head and sighed . When he was one step away from entering the tree hollow, he was scared by the people beside him . Sul was the first to rush in, but Sika had waited for Truman to enter . Saleeen observed it for a moment and threw a green seed in front of the tree hollow . The seed fell into the soil and quickly germinated, becoming a vine . The vine’s dense leaves blocked the tree hollow . The veins of the leaves were bright red, like the blood vessels of humans .
Agares had not completely opened the pathway . After Saleen jumped inside, he immediately released the Myers Goddess’ natural godly power from the Ring of Gifts .
There was a severe fluctuation in the pathway, and it immediately expanded tens of times . Saleen proceeded forward . Sul, who was beside him, felt quite exhausted, and wanted to call out to Master, but did not dare to . He did not want to lose courage, so he released his golden sword aura to its peak, picked up his speed, and persistently followed Saleen .
Saleen glanced backwards . Sul would not be able to maintain the state for long . Saleen cast a power stabilizing spell on Sul . It was rare magic to decrease consumption, but it was not prepared for mages, but warriors .
After Saleen cast the spell on Sul, he did not bother with the other two and flew along the pathway . After about 10 minutes, they arrived at the space that temple was in .

Saleen saw that only ruins remained . There were a few gigantic puppets, whose glint in their eyes had been extinguished, as if they were in deep sleep .
The puppets were from the powers that counterattacked while the temple was being destroyed and had been broken .
The puppets had been broken, and Agares had no way to bring them back . He was an assassin . His method for carrying the large puppets would be to use scrolls to seal them, but he was not a mage, so the broken puppets could only be haphazardly thrown away .
Saleen looked at the collapsed halls, and his heart felt funny . Agares had learned from him and destroyed the temple, but did not know why he destroyed them . He did not want the Myers Goddess to be able to utilize all it to increase her power . Agares had not been thorough in his destruction . Saleen had no choice but to help Agares complete the job .
Saleen did not require help . He expanded his territory to control a radius of over 4 li . Within the territory, various types of puppets emerged and, under Saleen’s command, began to take apart the dilapidated temple .
The large puppets were also devoured by Saleen’s puppet world territory . The level of the puppets was very low, but it was better than nothing . Within the territory, nothing was left untouched unless it was an even higher level .
Saleen performed a detailed search, and was still able to reap some good rewards . Agares had not taken everything away from the temple . Most of the things he needed had been taken away, but some things that were too bulky or could not be examined had been left for Saleen .
Saleen did not require the demons’ help . He used the territory’s power to destroy the temple . The feeling in his heart was incomparably refreshing . It was a pity that he had not brought along the water fox, otherwise, taking apart her palace in front of the Goddess, it would feel even better .
There was also good news . The temple was not prepared for assassins, but for warriors . The temples in Cloudflow did not have specialized equipment or material targeted towards assassins . If Agares wanted to advance quickly, he would still need to search for other temples . Read more chapter on NovelFull
That was the conclusion that Saleen wanted to see . If Agares had obtained the things he needed, his speed of advancement would be faster than Saleen . Saleen’s talent was not outstanding . If he did not have the help of the temple where the flow of time was rapid, he might not even have been able to advance to level 10 .

Furthermore, while being level 10, Saleen had concisely developed a three-layered territory . In the future, after advancing to level 13, when beginning to grasp the rules, it would be a huge obstacle . Other people would only need to comprehend one set of rules to advance, but Saleen would need to learn at least three sets, or perhaps even more . He had not yet formed a lightning territory . Once formed, he would need to understand all of the lightning rules . Only then would he attain an existence like the pseudogods .
Humanity addressed the level as level 13 . It was definitely the shackles that most souls were unable to break through .
After passing through the bottleneck of level 12, the lifespan of all professionals increased sharply, reaching a level that made ordinary souls envious . It was a step towards becoming a god .
Even without becoming a god, a level 13 professional would be respected and admired by all kinds of souls .
From within a large puppet that had been devoured by Saleen’s territory, a tiny puppet leapt out . After the tiny puppet jumped out, it abruptly exploded . Before that, Saleen had not even felt any elemental vibrations .
Puppet trap: the assassin’s level 10 skill .
It was a pity that Saleen possessed a territory . The puppet explosion shot out thousands of fragments but were all blocked by the elemental creatures in the territory . A pan turtle reared upwards and blocked a large portion of the attack .
“Master . ” Sul arrived at Saleen’s side, saw these changes, and said, “Agares is planning for you underestimate him so he can strike . If you drop your guard, the next attack will be fatal . ”
“I know . Agares will definitely not stop at such measures . It’s just that since he did not obtain what he wanted from here, and he is not familiar with the positions of the other temples . He wants to track me, not to kill me . The might of this puppet explosion is strong, but it is insufficient to kill a level 10 mage . ”
“Track?” Sika, the last one to arrive, was not nervous at all, taking her time to run over from the pathway at a steady pace .

“Yup, if I don’t spread out my territory and we want Agares to lose our trail, the his movements will not be able to escape my observation . ”
“Saleen, you don’t want him to lose our trail, right?” Sika spoke to the point .
Saleen nodded . “Every time, Agares only gives the Holy See one address, because he does not want to let the Holy See know too many secrets . If he can follow me, then he will no longer be able to disclose information to the Holy See . The equipment required by assassins is Agares’ trump card .
From now on, if I don’t help him to find the things that the Myers Goddess left behind for assassins, the Cloudflow Emperor will be dying to send his army to protect me . ”
“Teacher, this is also the only chance to kill him, right?” Truman asked . The task of taking apart the temples was completed by the puppets in the territory . Nobody needed to act . They only needed to remain at Saleen’s side so that they could learn from experience .
“Sounds about right . Also in the future, I may not necessarily want to kill Agares . He is an assassin, not an adventurer . If my level exceeds his too much, he will not see me as his target . Ultimately, our enemy is the Holy See . ”
“Master, leaving Agares behind will be problematic . ” Sul recalled that Agares had kicked him once, causing him to be kicked away from Saleen’s side, so he always gnashed his teeth in hatred, wanting to take revenge .
If not for the fact that Master was strong, he would already be considered to be a follower who had lost his profession, such a situation was a disgrace .
As a follower, the supplies gained from Master were hundreds of times more than the ones gained by servants or any other types of subordinates . Saleen’s expenditure for looking after a follower was enough to hire a huge amount of mercenaries, or to bring even more aristocrats under his control .
Consuming that many of Master’s provisions every day, but being incapable in the end, would always be engraved in his memory .
Saleen might be one of the best Masters . Although the battles were all very dangerous, the supplies were also the most plentiful, and every professional would be able to obtain the things that he wanted .
Saleen understood Sul’s mood and patted his shoulder . “Our target in the future will not stop at the Myers Continent . There will be many times when we will meet assassins, so you can use others to practice your skills . If you want to kill Agares, you will need a specific opportunity . His luck is extremely good, or at least for this period of time it is . ”
Saleen did not explain the cause, but he already perceived it . Agares had probably gained the Goddess’ favor . An assassin finding more than two temples, and opening them all, could only be explained by the luck inherited from the Goddess . It had already begun to be divided by Agares .
Wanting Agares to die would require him to pay a considerable price .
Saleen used the territorial power to take apart the temple, and it was even faster . After succeeding, Saleen quickly evacuated from the pathway . The magic beasts in the forest had already evacuated from the area controlled by the Magical Element Tower . Saleen got into the magical tower and dispersed his perception, but even with this search he was unable to find Agares’ position .
In the magical tower, Saleen’s perception was expanded by at least six times, and now his perception overlapped with his territory . That meant that in the Magical Element Tower, Saleen would be able to detect professionals at the same level or below at a distance of 24 li .
It looked like Agares possessed a godly item . He was able to hide himself from a scan that used territorial power .
Saleen did not find it unexpected at all . A strong assassin would inevitably possess equipment with such properties . Otherwise, upon reaching level 9, any profession’s perception would be able to expand to a very big range . An assassin’s attack power could only be used at short ranges . If others held them back by one li, how could they still be considered an assassin?
It looked like he would have to start playing hide and seek with Agares .
