Chapter 915: Chapter 20 Shanxiao Lineage Chapter 915: Chapter 20 Shanxiao Lineage âEnforcer Jiang is back too!â
On the Jade Emperorâs Peak.
Tang Ji, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly spoke out loud.
Wang Ba immediately stood up.
However, Tang Ji had already swiftly concealed his aura, flying towards the direction of Song State.
Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, glanced at the few Nascent Soul Cultivators on the Jade Emperorâs Peak, and feeling somewhat reassured, carefully set down a Class III Jade Pendant, and then quickly followed suit.
Before long, he flew over towns, villagesââŹÂŚ a river, and a mountain range that shone a brilliant azure under the sunlight.
He then arrived at the territory of a small sect.
...
The cultivators within the small sect seemed to have noticed Wang Baâs figure, their auras contracting in fear.
A few Golden Core cultivators also concealed their auras, filled with a sense of vigilance.
Wang Ba cast a glance below and pondered in his heart.
âMountain Sea SectââŹÂŚâ
He shook his head slightly.
The once majestic force now seemed like a minor sect that failed to arouse his interest at all.

He didnât even feel like stopping.
His speed increased rather than decreased.
After a while, he soon saw the vast expanse of the Great River.
Wang Ba realized that this was the border between Chen State and Song State.
Without pause, his figure hurriedly swept across the space above the river.
Just past the border between Chen and Song States, what came into view was a desolate range of hills.
Weeds grew wildly, and the land was full of devastation.
As far as the eye could see, apart from herds of wild animals, there was not a single living personâs aura.
It was as if this was a world abandoned by humankind.
In contrast, Chen State, just across a single river, seemed full of vitality.
âHave all the people been taken away?â
Wang Ba sighed inwardly.
The Kingdom of Immortalsâ craving for human population was almost pathological.
Having occupied Song State, it was only natural for them to have taken all the people away.
Tang Ji was much faster than him, and in a blink, he had already flown out of his sightline.
Following the direction Tang Ji had taken, Wang Ba flew for a while before he saw Tang Ji and Enforcer Su, leading a few cultivators with deficient and dusty auras, hurrying over.
Judging by the attire of these cultivators, they seemed similar to the Qi cultivators from before.
What made Wang Ba tense up was that both Tang Ji and Enforcer Su had a trace of solemnity on their faces.
âHurry!
People from the Kingdom of Immortals are coming!â
As soon as Tang Ji saw Wang Ba from a distance, he immediately warned.
Wang Ba was startled and without any hesitation, quickly turned back to fly towards Chen State.
At the same time, his Spiritual Sense rapidly spread out.
Before long, he indeed sensed several cultivators dressed in vine leaf skirts, unkempt as if they were wild people, rapidly approaching Tang Ji and the others.
Whilst these cultivatorsâ auras were of Nascent Soul, they were not particularly formidable.
Wang Ba swiftly sent a message to Tang Ji, asking:
âMartial Uncle Tang, whatâs going on?â
The voice of Tang Ji also came swiftly:
âWhen Enforcer Jiang was bringing these Qi cultivators over, unfortunately, they encountered this group.
They seem to be conducting a sweep for human population in the vicinity, a common practice for them.â
Wang Ba did not slow down, but he could not help frowning:
âIs it just these few people?â
Tang Ji was slightly startled, replying through message: âYes, whatâs wrong?â
Wang Baâs figure abruptly stopped, and he couldnât help but look towards Tang Ji.
Tang Ji caught up from behind, and seeing Wang Ba stop, he also quickly halted, asking with a puzzled look,
âMartial Nephew Wang, what is thisââŹÂŚâ
Wang Ba took a deep breath, then asked in return,
âWhy should we run?â
âEh?â
Hearing Wang Baâs question, Tang Ji was taken aback.
He hurriedly said,
âIf we donât run, wonât we be caught up by the people from the Kingdom of Immortals?
We are here to rescue peopleââŹÂŚâ
While he was speaking, Enforcer Jiang had already caught up with a few Qi cultivators, looking at them both with puzzled expressions.
However, those Qi cultivators had already flown ahead of the two.
They were desperately flying towards the direction of Chen State.
Enforcer Jiang looked hesitant, unsure of whether to stay or go.
Wang Ba did not have the time to explain, and quickly said,
âMartial Uncle Tang, can you defeat these people?â
âThem?â
Tang Ji was taken aback, then hesitatingly nodded and said, âThere are a total of four Nascent Souls, all early-stage.
Looking at their aura, they should all be from the âShanxiao Lineage.â There shouldnât be a problem fighting themââŹÂŚâ
But Wang Ba quickly shook his head and asked,
âCan you win quickly?â
Tang Ji immediately frowned:
âWin quickly?
If someone can hold them off, it should be possibleââŹÂŚâ
Enforcer Jiang quickly said,
âIs there anything special about the Shanxiao Lineage?
I can give it a try.â
âThis lineage doesnât have anything special.
Just be wary of their god transformation, which can briefly boost their physical strength tremendouslyââŹÂŚâ
Tang Ji spoke rapidly, but his eyes still held a trace of doubt.
Seeing this, Wang Ba knew that unless Tang Ji understood the situation, he would not make a move, and thus quickly said in a deep voice,
âMaster Song and the others are still in Qiao State now.
If these clerics of the Kingdom of Immortals report back our rescue of the Qi cultivators to others, what do you think the people of the Kingdom of Immortals will do?â
Tang Ji was taken aback, his expression suddenly changing.
Yet there was still some hesitation in his eyes:
âBut if we take the initiative to attack, wouldnât that provoke the Kingdom of Immortals to strike back at usââŹÂŚâ
A cold glint quietly flashed in Wang Baâs eyes as he said,
âI only saw clerics of Ten Thousand Godsâ Country sneaking into Chen State, attempting to abduct our people.
In a moment of eagerness to rescue, I inadvertently killed themââŹÂŚâ
Upon hearing this, Tang Ji and Enforcer Jiang were shocked and looked at Wang Ba, then their eyes suddenly lit up.
The two exchanged glances, and an idea formed in their minds.
