Arrival in Jiang Kingdom

Tang Kezhen responded and led the way.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a vast manor. Tang Yilong, Lin Yutong, Wei Tianming, and Xu Yang were sitting in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, how did it go! Did you catch up?"

Wei Tianming asked.

"It's all resolved."

Shen Long spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang remained unfazed, but Tang Yilong and the other two were utterly shocked, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you single-handedly killed seven Core Formation Cultivator?"

Wei Tianming said with some disbelief.

The Barbarian Race possessed powerful physical bodies and had mastered Totem Technique. Shen Long fought seven enemies single-handedly and actually annihilated them all.

"Hmm, Wu Tu is only at the Core Formation Late Stage, no match for me. Fellow Daoist Tang, are you feeling better?"

Shen Long changed the subject.

"I need to recuperate for a while. If I hadn't met you Fellow Daoist Shen, I would be dead this time. I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Tang Yilong promised.

"It's good that you're alright. By the way, these are relics from your clan."

Shen Long took out two Cyan Storage Bag and handed them to Tang Yilong.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, thank you very much. These are some alchemy materials, just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find them too inadequate."

Tang Yilong took out a Golden Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long took the Storage Bag, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and exclaimed in surprise, "So many alchemy materials?"

The spirit medicine in his Storage Bag were enough for him to open his furnace thirty times, which was quite a lot.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, for avenging my people and bringing back their belongings. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Tang Yilong explained.

He also gave Lin Yutong and the other two some cultivation resources as a token of his gratitude. Shen Long had killed seven Barbarian Race cultivators and brought back the relics of Tang Yilong's clan, so it was reasonable for Tang Yilong to give him more resources.

Of course, his main goal was to befriend Shen Long.

Shen Long is no longer the same as before. He can now refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill, possesses great strength, and has a limitless future.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Tang."

Shen Long accepted the Storage Bag without further hesitation.

"We need to head to the Jiang Kingdom. Jiang Kingdom hasn't been attacked by Barbarian Race cultivators yet, but it's very likely they'll be Barbarian Race next target. We need to get Jiang Kingdom."

Shen Long said.

"Okay, please be careful on your journey."

Tang Yilong did not try to stop him.

After leaving the Marketplace, Shen Long summoned the Sea-Crossing Boat and boarded it, followed by Xu Yang and the other two.

"Walk."

With a soft shout, Shen Long's Sea-Crossing Boat emitted a blinding blue light and soared into the sky, leaving the area behind.

······

In the depths of the Green Paulownia Mountain Range in the Yu Kingdom, a deafening explosion resounded, and a huge ball of azure light shot into the sky, causing the earth to shake and dust to billow.

Deep in the mountains, numerous corpses could be seen, and many buildings were ablaze, with flames shooting into the sky.

A burly man in a silver robe stood in an open area, with a phantom image of a Silver Giant Eagle appearing in the void above his head.

"Wu Sang, you're truly capable. If it weren't for your activation of the Totem Technique, it wouldn't have been easy for us to break through the Song Family's Clan Protection Array."

A portly old man in a black robe praised it.

"Stop flattering us, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, let's leave! This is Human Race territory, we can't linger here."

"Wu Sang gave the instructions."

Born into the Thunder Eagle Tribe, he possessed the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage. He led a small team to infiltrate the Human Race territory and wreak havoc, attacking Human Race strongholds everywhere, and never suffered a defeat.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wu."

The four men and one woman agreed and split up to scavenge cultivation resources.

After a short while, they left. Several days later, news of the Song Family's annihilation spread, causing widespread panic among the major powers in the Yu Kingdom, who then heightened their vigilance.

······

Jiang Kingdom, Green Gourd Marketplace.

A streak of blue Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped abruptly.

The Escape Light, revealing Sea-Crossing Boat upon which Shen Long and his three companions stood.

"We've finally arrived."

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Long stowed the Sea-Crossing Boat, and the four of them entered Green Gourd Marketplace.

The streets were bustling with people and traffic.

As we passed a bend in the road, Qin Yunfeng walked towards us.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Qin, it's been a long time."

Shen Long saw Qin Yunfeng and greeted him with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, it's been a long time."

Qin Yunfeng was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with joy.

Shen Long's deeds have spread, and the Qin Family has also heard of them.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, we have something very important to discuss with you. Could we speak in private for a moment?"

Shen Long asked.

If the Qin Family is willing to cooperate, things will be much easier for them.

"No problem, fellow Daoists, please follow me."

Qin Yunfeng agreed.

Before long, they appeared in a secluded manor, where Qin Yunyan and a graceful woman in a golden dress sat in a stone pavilion.

"Eh, Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Qin Yunyan was overjoyed to see Shen Long.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, this is Senior Brother Xu, Fairy Lin, and Fellow Daoist Wei. To be honest, we've come to the Jiang Kingdom to capture Barbarian Race cultivators, and we hope to receive your assistance."

Shen Long gave a brief introduction, getting straight to the point.

"We don't know how we can help Fellow Daoist Shen."

Qin Yunyan asked.

"We just want Fellow Daoist Qin to keep an eye on the movements of the Barbarian Race cultivators. We believe Jiang Kingdom is Barbarian Race next target."

Shen Long said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, to be honest, a month ago, a group of Evil Cultivator wiped out the Chen family of the Cai Kingdom. The Chen family had several Core Formation Cultivator, and they even had Clan Protection Array, but they still couldn't stop the Evil Cultivator."

Qin Yunfeng said.

It was one thing for high-ranking Barbarian Race cultivators to cause trouble in the heart of the Human Race, but some Evil Cultivator also took this opportunity to stir up trouble.

"Are these Evil Cultivator really that powerful? Do you know their background?"

Shen Long asked.

"Master Purple Spider is a master of poison arts, possesses the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage, and also has a set of powerful treasures. He is very strong."

As Qin Yunyan spoke, he took out a portrait and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long glanced at the painting and saw that it depicted an ugly man in a purple robe.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, how come I've never heard of this person before?" He shouldn't be from the East Hua Cultivation World!

Xu Yang said.

"We inquired with the people of the Listen Wind Pavilion and learned that this person comes from the Southern Border Cultivation World. Seeing the Barbarian Race cultivators causing trouble, he also raised a team to attack smaller forces. He's a mobile criminal, and it's impossible to guard against him."

Qin Yunyan explained.

"It's indeed difficult to catch mobile criminals. Perhaps we can lure them out and wipe out a group of Barbarian Race cultivators."

Lin Yutong suggested.

"We had the same idea, but the Barbarian Race cultivators might not fall for it. Besides, we have no idea how many of them there are or where they are right now. If we set up a trap and they don't show themselves, then we can set up another trap here. It would be like trying to hide something obvious."

Qin Yunyan explained.

Unless they know that the Barbarian Race cultivators are hiding in the Jiang Kingdom, setting up a trap without the enemy showing up would be a waste of time. Setting up another trap would be much less effective, so they can only strengthen their defenses.

After chatting for half an hour, Qin Yunyan asked Qin Yunfeng to take Shen Long and the other three downstairs to arrange accommodations and let them get some rest.
