Chapter 694: Chapter 48 Upstream (Added 2k, still owe 12k)_5 Chapter 694: Chapter 48 Upstream (Added 2k, still owe 12k)_5 Of course, it also involved the Sect Disciples that they encountered during this journey.
Even though some harbored hidden intentions, their actions had some level of restraint and boundaries.
The situation was nowhere near as delicate as in Chen State and Yan State, where they had to constantly stay on their guard and be cautious about every move they made.
This was not about any essential difference in morality between people.
To Wang Ba, it was more due to the harsh environments in places like Chen State and Yan State which inevitably shaped its citizensâ behaviors.
People, after all, were a product of their environment.
However, the environment is also largely determined by the actions of its peopleâŠ
...
In the midst of their light-hearted chat, Zhou Luye suddenly looked towards the horizon and her face suddenly revealed a mix of surprise and joy:
âLook quickly!
Itâs a sea of clouds!â
Without anyone noticing, a thin mist quietly rose into the sky and started spreading slowly.
From afar, it looked like a sea of floating clouds.
âJunior Brother Zhao said that this place looks the best when viewed from the cliff above.â
Seeing their mission nearing completion, Xi Wushang inevitably started to feel cheerful as he laughed and made the comment.

However, after saying this, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
In the shelter of the mist, a dark sun was hanging high in the sky.
It was the Period of Wu!â
Xi Wushangâs face clouded.
Unconsciously, he quickly fumbled out his Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
Wang Ba also immediately realized something and rushed forward, âBrother XiâŠâ
âElder Ji and I agreed that at the Period of Zi and the Period of Wu, weâd contact each other no matter how busy we were.
But now, itâs already the Period of WuâŠ
â
Xi Wushangâs face was filled with anxiety.
Just as he was speaking, there was suddenly a âsizz-sizzâ noise from the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
Then, Ji Yuanâs voice started to come through in broken sentences:
âXiâŠ
WushangâŠ
have youâŠ
finishedâŠ
Weâre done withâŠ
the lastâŠ
piece of landâŠ
Weâre about toâŠ
leaveâŠâ
Hearing Ji Yuanâs voice, both Xi Wushang and Wang Ba heaved a sigh of relief.
As the mission was about to be completed, both of them certainly didnât want any mishaps.
Xi Wushang casually appeased him:
âAlright, alright, youâre amazing, Iâll hang up now.â
After saying that, he withdrew his Mana.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Stone immediately fell silent.
âLetâs wait for them here then.
We havenât finished checking the formation on this area yet.â
Xi Wushang pondered and then said.
Wang Ba likewise nodded in agreement.
Since the geographical position check didnât reveal any problems, it should be safe here in Yundang.
He himself, for the moment, also did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
Just then, both Xi Wushang and Wang Ba, standing one in front of the other, subconsciously looked up.
Their eyes were involuntarily drawn towards the distance.
At the edge of the cliff above, two figures were seen soaring down.
âWe were just talking about them.
Didnât expect them to come so quickly.â
Xi Wushang smiled and then said to Wang Ba.
These two people were none other than Qin Fengyi and Qin Lingxiao.
âBrother Xi, so youâre all here.â
Noticing Xi Wushang, Qin Fengyiâs somewhat anxious face immediately broke into a small smile.
Just as Xi Wushang was about to reply, his expression changed, and he quickly pulled out the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone again.
At this moment, the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone suddenly emitted a sharp, piercing sound:
ââŠEnemyâŠ
at seaâŠ
EnemiesâŠ
Go!
GoâŠsizz, sizzâŠâ
âElder Ji!
Elder Ji!â
Xi Wushangâs body suddenly went cold!
He immediately channeled his Mana into the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
However, no matter how much he tried to contact him, there was no more sound from the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
The people around who had heard the commotion also immediately stood up, their faces tense but trying hard to keep calm.
âIf Elder Ji is in danger, what are we waiting for, letâs hurry up and save him!â
Unexpectedly, it was Qin Lingxiao, who had just arrived, who broke the silence.
She had a determined look in her eyes, filled with a rare decisiveness and courage for a female Cultivator.
However, her words immediately met with dissent :
âAbsolutely not!â
Qin Lingxiao, puzzled, followed the voice and found that it was Wang Ba who had spoken.
Wang Ba looked seriously at Xi Wushang and quickly said:
âBrother Xi!
The most pressing matter now is to contact Fengyu Mountain immediately!
Inform them about the situation and request urgent backup!â
âBy the time people from Fengyu Mountain arrive, Elder Ji would be long gone, Wang!
Elder Ji has even taught you the use of the knife, are you just going to sit here and watch him die!â
Qin Lingxiao immediately glared at him, angrily lashing out.
Having learned the use of the knife from Elder Ji, sheâd always remembered his kindness.
Naturally, when she heard of his danger, she became frantic with worry.
However, Wang Ba completely ignored her as he continued speaking quickly at Xi Wushang:
âElderly Brother Ji has been at Elong Beach for quite a while.
These thief cultivators havenât made a move until now.
Either they were accidentally discovered by Elder Brother Ji, or theyâve completed their preparations.
Regardless, we have to be cautious.
Brother, quickly inform them, further delay could make the situation awful!â
âLingxiao!â
Qin Fengyi quickly tried to calm her down.
However, she couldnât stop Qin Lingxiaoâs angry voice:
âCoward!â
However, regardless of whether it was Wang Ba or Xi Wushang, both ignored what she was saying.
Xi Wushang quickly channeled the Mana into the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
What he saw made his face dramatically change.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Stone was just buzzing.
He abruptly looked up at Wang Ba.
He saw Wang Baâs face was equally grave.
At this moment, Qin Fengyi also lowered her head.
A string of glowing beads quietly flew out from her sleeve, spinning quickly and illuminating the surroundings.
The area around them, unseen formation lines completely different from the Fenglin Continentâs techniques started to quietly emerge in the spaces in the sky, beneath their feet, on the cliff faceâŠ
