Li Shiming looked at the jade slip in his hand, an anxious look on his face.
The jade slip was sent by the Intelligence Department of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. He asked the Intelligence Department to help keep an eye on Jian Wuwei's news.
Since Jian Wuwei was rescued by him, he has been in seclusion and there has been no news about him.
But this time, the Intelligence Department sent a piece of information that Jian Wuwei appeared and had a conflict with Yingting Village. Jian Wuwei was injured and escaped. Currently, Yingting Village is tracking Jian Wuwei.
Li Shiming frowned. He didn't expect Jian Wuwei to be in trouble again.
This can only mean that Jian Wuwei is too unlucky. Even though more than half a year has passed, Jian Wuwei is afraid that he will not be able to support a long battle. Jian Wuwei's previous losses were too great, and this time cannot be made up.
Yingting Village is not a big force, and it cannot even be considered a force. It is a group composed of fifteen independent cultivators in the early Nascent Soul stage.
Yingting Village does not occupy any territory and does not have a mountain gate. Their main source of resources is robbery.
Of course, the robbery of Yingting Village cannot compare to that of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. They are just robbing weak beings who are also independent cultivators.
It is precisely because they never provoke monks from medium or large forces that they live a comfortable life and are not attacked by powerful forces.
Li Shiming still set off. After all, he was the master of the clone Li Yuanba, and this friendship was worth his help.
Jian Wuwei was very annoyed and in a very bad state. His sword escape was a little shaky, and he couldn't even get rid of the Nascent Soul cultivator who was chasing him.
With the experience of being captured last time, he rested for a while and after he had some spiritual power in his body, he could no longer resist the urge to return to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
He ended his retreat and wanted to contact the flying boat for a long voyage to the Zhongzhou continent.
He was very unlucky as he met a Nascent Soul cultivator from Yingting Village who had mastered a special pupil technique and could see through his weak condition at a glance.
In order to reduce consumption, Jian Wuwei used a fourth-grade flying boat to travel. This act of showing off his wealth made him a target of Yingting Village.
When the fifteen Yuanying early stage cultivators from Yingting Village blocked Jian Wuwei, Jian Wuwei announced the name of 'Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion' and released the unique sword light of 'Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion'.
If these fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators had broad horizons, they would probably turn around and leave immediately.
But unfortunately, all the fifteen Nascent Soul early stage cultivators were born as independent cultivators, and had never even left the Dongqi Continent. They usually interacted with independent cultivators as well, so they had no idea about the 'Jian Yi Chong Xiao Pavilion' far away in the Zhongzhou Continent.
Jian Wuwei didn't dare to fight at all. He mobilized his little spiritual power and risked being injured to escape from the encirclement of fifteen early Nascent Soul cultivators.
Fortunately, he was practicing the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky', which gave him many ways to save his life, allowing him to escape in a weak state.
Jian Wuwei took out the jade map slip. He wondered if he could find a prosperous place with many cultivators nearby and escape the pursuit of the fifteen early Nascent Soul cultivators behind him.
But it was obvious that the fifteen early Nascent Soul cultivators of Yingting Village were very experienced. Although they let Jian Wuwei escape, they kept compressing Jian Wuwei's escape direction during the pursuit.
There was no place for Jian Wuwei to escape in the direction he was fleeing.
Jian Wuwei took out a elixir from the mustard seed ring and swallowed it. This was the mustard seed ring left to him by Li Shiming. It originally belonged to a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator from Yuxiang Commercial Bank.
Feeling the spiritual power in his body slowly increasing and at the same time feeling cramps in his abdomen, he couldn't help but sigh.
He had taken too much of this fourth-grade elixir for restoring his spiritual power, and the effect was getting worse and worse. It also caused a buildup of medicinal properties, which would have a bad effect on his body if not dealt with.
But he didn't care about this at the moment. What he needed to do was to continue to squeeze out his spiritual power.
If his spiritual power is insufficient, he will fall into the hands of the Nascent Soul cultivators behind him.
He knew very well that if he really fell into the hands of a Yuanying cultivator, he would not even have a chance to survive.
The Yuanying stage cultivator will kill him, and everything on him will become the enemy's trophies.
Jian Wuwei's spiritual consciousness stopped on a contact card in the mustard seed ring. This was the contact card left by his benefactor, and it could be used to contact the benefactor.
But he was too embarrassed to contact his benefactor. He originally thought that this contact card would be used after he returned to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion and his strength increased greatly, and then he would come to repay his benefactor.
He was asked to use the contact card to ask his benefactor for help again. He did not want to do such a thing even if he was killed by the wandering cultivators behind him.
He moved his consciousness away from the communication card and focused on sword escape again, using precise control to reduce the consumption of spiritual energy as much as possible.
Sensing the breath getting closer and closer behind him, he felt very heavy.
"Is it finally coming? Lord Li, I am really sorry for your rescue. Jian Wuwei cannot repay you!" Jian Wuwei murmured to himself.
Just when he was about to lose hope, he discovered that among the fifteen Nascent Soul early stage cultivators behind him, the figures of four of them suddenly paused, and the breath of life disappeared from their bodies.
Four little Yuanyings flew out of the lifeless body in panic. They ignored their companions beside them and flew away into the distance, holding the spatial objects on their bodies.
Because the incident happened too suddenly, by the time the other eleven Nascent Soul early stage cultivators reacted, the four Nascent Souls had already escaped far away.
Even though the fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage are all members of Yingting Village, they all know each other's personalities very well. When they have lost their bodies and only have their Nascent Souls left, they cannot ask for help from their companions.
If you really believe in the help of your companions, the only possibility is that your Nascent Soul will be imprisoned and become a cauldron for the other party to refine magic, and all your wealth will fall into the hands of the other party.
Therefore, after the attack, the four Nascent Soul cultivators made the same choice. They all chose to escape far away.
They all have a second chance to be reborn. As long as their Nascent Soul still exists, they can use the spare body prepared before to be reborn.
The backup body of every Nascent Soul cultivator is one of the Nascent Soul cultivators’ biggest secrets.
A Yuanying cultivator will not tell anyone where his backup body is kept. The backup body is the Yuanying cultivator's last hope.
"Who is it?"
"See where the attack came from?"
The eleven early Nascent Soul cultivators did not have time to chase Jian Wuwei. They quickly formed a circle and deployed their defensive magic weapons, shouting in panic.
The weakness of the Yuanying cultivators was fully revealed at this time. Because the electromagnetic cannon launched by the fourth-grade puppet attacked too fast and the distance was hundreds of miles away, the fifteen Yuanying early-stage cultivators, including the four who escaped, had no idea where the attack came from.
When they wanted to check the bodies left behind by the four Nascent Soul cultivators who had escaped, the fourth-grade top-level conical magic weapons in their bodies had disappeared under the effect of the automatic return rune.
When Jian Wuwei saw the Nascent Soul cultivator behind him being attacked, he did not stop but continued to fly forward.
But he really had no strength left, and his sword escape speed was getting slower and slower.
He knew that he had no strength to escape anymore, so he turned around and looked at the remaining ten Nascent Soul early stage cultivators.
Only a few breaths had passed when the vitality of four early Nascent Soul cultivators was extinguished. A fourth-grade top-level conical magic weapon entered their bodies and destroyed all vitality.
The four Yuanyings left their bodies. This time, they didn't even dare to carry the space items with them, and fled into the distance.
In order to form a defensive formation, the eleven Nascent Soul early stage cultivators were a little close to each other, which made the four Nascent Soul cultivators afraid of being attacked by the other Nascent Soul cultivators after they left their bodies.
In fact, they were worrying too much. Under normal circumstances, their companions would definitely do what they wanted.
But their companions had no such thoughts at this time. The remaining seven early Nascent Soul cultivators were like frightened birds. They dared not stay here anymore and turned around and fled in the direction they came from.
During the escape, four more Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage fell from the sky, and four Nascent Souls flew out of their bodies and then they escaped.
Jian Wuwei was stunned. What kind of method was this? As he was still in a weak state, his perception was not as good as before. He only knew that it was a long-range attack that caused these early Nascent Soul cultivators to suffer heavy losses, but he could not see what kind of magic weapon was the attack.
The last three Nascent Soul early stage cultivators were still trying desperately to escape, but this time there was no attack, and the three Nascent Soul early stage cultivators were able to escape.
They didn't look back, they just ran for their lives.
It was really terrifying. Out of the fifteen Nascent Soul early stage cultivators, only three of them were left without knowing who the enemy was.
As for those cultivators who have retained their Nascent Soul, rebirth through taking over another body is almost equivalent to death. They are all independent cultivators, and they are extremely lucky to be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
The difficulty of taking over another body and being reborn to advance to the Nascent Soul stage again is far greater than that of those monks in the sects.
"Which fellow Taoist saved my life? Please come out and see me?" How could Jian Wuwei not understand at this time that he was saved by someone? He asked loudly.
"Friend Jiandao, take this elixir. Your condition is not good!" Li Shiming appeared in front of him and said as he threw a jade bottle in his hand.
"Benefactor!" Jian Wuwei was stunned. He didn't expect that it was his benefactor who came to the rescue again.
But then he thought again, he didn't have any Nascent Soul cultivators he was familiar with in the Dongqi Continent. Apart from his benefactor Li Shiming, he thought there was no other cultivator who would fight with fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level to save him.
Although it seemed that Li Shiming's fight against fifteen alone was a massacre, it was not accurate to say it was a massacre. The two sides did not even meet each other, and the fifteen early Nascent Soul cultivators were almost all slaughtered.
But after all, it was a battle between people of the same level. If Jian Wuwei was in his prime, he might be able to use his sword skills and attack power to fight against these fifteen Nascent Soul cultivators.
Jian Wuwei took the jade bottle and swallowed the fourth-grade advanced healing elixir inside to stabilize his internal injuries.
"How did you know that I was in trouble?" Jian Wuwei was still very surprised by Li Shiming's move. He asked directly without hiding anything.
He didn't think that Li Shiming had any ill intentions. To be honest, if he really wanted to do something to him, Li Shiming's strength would not require any means. His physical condition did not allow him to even fight back against Li Shiming.
"I asked the sect's intelligence department to keep an eye on you. You're lucky. Your battle was discovered by the intelligence department and reported to me. I happened to have some free time, so I arrived in time!" Li Shiming did not hide anything and answered with a smile.
"My benefactor, I am truly ashamed that I have asked you to come to my rescue again!" Jian Wuwei said with a look of shame on his face as he bowed.
"It's just a convenience. What are your plans? If you want to leave Dongqi Continent, I can help you contact them!" Li Shiming waved his hand and helped Jian Wuwei up and asked.
"I need to go to Zhongzhou Continent!" Jian Wuwei gritted his teeth, no longer insisted on his principles, and stated his destination.
He has been saved by Li Shiming twice. He can only repay this great favor with his whole life. After returning to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, when his strength has increased to a level that is high enough to help Li Shiming, he will repay Li Shiming.
Asking Li Shiming for help to return to Zhongzhou Continent was such a trivial matter, which really meant nothing compared to the life-saving grace. After he decided in his heart to repay him with his whole life, he no longer cared about such trivial matters.
"I will contact Zhongzhou Trading Company to see when the nearest flying ship will sail to Zhongzhou Continent. If you want to go to Zhongzhou Continent, you can help me do something!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
Jian Wuwei certainly knew Zhongzhou Trading Company. When he heard that he could borrow Zhongzhou Trading Company's flying boat for long-distance voyages, he felt relieved.
Zhongzhou Trading Company is a super power, and its long-distance flying boats are the safest. The mark of Zhongzhou Trading Company alone is enough to keep most of the fourth-grade spirit beasts away from the long-distance flying boats.
"Please let me know if you have anything to say to me!" Jian Wuwei said immediately when he heard that he could do something for Li Shiming.
"Please give this storage bag to Fellow Daoist Li Yuanba from Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion!" Li Shiming handed a storage bag to Jian Wuwei.
"Li Yuanba returned to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion?" After hearing Li Yuanba's name, Jian Wuwei thought he had heard it wrong and asked hurriedly.
He gave his "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Scroll" to Li Yuanba. Even if he had not given it to Li Yuanba, it would have been lost when he was captured last time.
Therefore, he did not know that there was a new portrait of Li Yuanba on the Scroll of Sword Intent Reaching the Sky, and that Li Yuanba had become a Nascent Soul Swordsman.
"Li Yuanba was brought back to Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion by sword cultivator Wu Qi more than a year ago. This is a batch of magic weapons he customized for me!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.
Jian Wuwei took the storage bag and looked at Li Shiming who was wearing a mask. Some of his previous doubts deepened.
In his opinion, the last time Li Shiming saved him was probably not a coincidence, but a special trip to save him.
The reason was for Li Yuanba. He was Li Yuanba's master, and Li Shiming rescued him for Li Yuanba's sake.
Jian Wuwei shook his head vigorously. There was no need to think about it. It was real that Li Shiming saved him, and he saved his life twice.
Then it would be worth his life's dedication. The decision has just been made and there will be no change.
This is the promise of a sword cultivator and also the moral bottom line of a sword cultivator. It is worth abiding by with one's life!
