Li Shiming looked at the jade scroll in his hand, a look of anxiety on his face.

The jade scroll was sent from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Intelligence Department, whom he had asked to keep an eye on news about Jian Wuwei.

Ever since Jian Wuwei was rescued by him, he went into seclusion and hasn't been heard from since.

But this time, the Intelligence Department sent information that Jian Wuwei had appeared and had clashed with Yingting Village. Jian Wuwei was injured and escaped, and currently, Yingting Village is pursuing him.

Li Shiming frowned; he didn't expect Jian Wuwei to get into trouble again.

This could only be said that Jian Wuwei was quite unlucky. Even though more than half a year had passed, Jian Wuwei probably still couldn't handle a long battle, given how significant his previous depletion was, and this time wasn't enough to recover.

Yingting Village isn't a major force, and not even a force at all, but a group composed of fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Independent Practitioners banded together.

Yingting Village doesn't occupy any territory, nor does it have a sect base; they primarily rely on robbery as their main source of resources.

Of course, the robbery by Yingting Village can't compare with the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion; they only rob the weak who are also independent cultivators.

It is exactly because they never provoke cultivators from medium to large forces that they live quite comfortably, without being suppressed by stronger forces.

Li Shiming still set out, after all, he was the teacher of his clone Li Yuanba, and this relationship was worthy of his help.

Jian Wuwei was very annoyed and quite embarrassed; his Sword Escape was stumbling, even unable to shake off the Nascent Soul Independent Cultivator chasing him from behind.

Having been captured last time, after recovering for a period and gathering some spiritual power within himself, he couldn't help but want to return to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

He ended his seclusion, wanting to contact a long-distance flying boat heading to the Central State Continent.

He wasn't lucky and encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator in Yingting Village who mastered a special pupil skill and immediately saw his weakened state.

Jian Wuwei, to reduce consumption, used a fourth-grade flying boat to travel, and this display of wealth made him a target for Yingting Village.

When fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners from Yingting Village intercepted Jian Wuwei, he announced the name of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion' and released the unique sword light of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.'

If these fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners were well-informed, they might have turned away immediately.

But unfortunately, all fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners were of independent cultivation, having never left the Dongqi Continent, interacting only with other independent cultivators, unaware of the 'Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion' in the faraway Central State Continent.

Jian Wuwei didn't dare to fight; he mobilized what little spiritual power he had, and, at the risk of injury, fled from the encirclement of the fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.

Fortunately, what he cultivated was the 'Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique,' so he had quite a few escape methods, allowing him to escape while in a weakened state.

Jian Wuwei took out the jade-embedded map, wondering if he could find a nearby bustling place with many cultivators to shake off the fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners chasing him.

But it was clear that the fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners from Yingting Village were quite experienced; although Jian Wuwei escaped, in the pursuit, they constantly narrowed Jian Wuwei's escape direction.

In the direction Jian Wuwei was fleeing, there wasn't anywhere to escape.

Jian Wuwei took out a spirit pill from the Mustard Seed Ring and swallowed it; it was originally one that Li Shiming left for him, from the Mustard Seed Ring belonging to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioner of the Yu Xiang Trading Company.

Feeling the slight enhancement in spiritual power within, along with a wave of stomach pain, he couldn't help but sigh.

The fourth-grade spirit pills for restoring spiritual power were becoming less effective with overuse, accumulating drug properties that, if not dealt with, would have an adverse effect on his body.

But at this moment, he couldn't care about this; what he needed to do was continuously squeeze out his spiritual power.

If his spiritual power wasn't sufficient, he would fall into the hands of the Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators behind him.

He was well aware that if he truly fell into the hands of a Nascent Soul Independent Cultivator, he wouldn't even have a chance to survive.

The Nascent Soul Independent Cultivator would slay him, and everything on him would become the opponent's spoils of war.

Jian Wuwei's divine sense lingered on a contact plaque within the Mustard Seed Ring; it was a plaque left by Mr. Li, which could contact him.

But he was really embarrassed to contact Mr. Li, originally thinking this contact plaque would be used when he returned to the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, his strength greatly increased, to repay Mr. Li's kindness.

To use the contact plaque now to ask Mr. Li's help once again, he would rather be killed by the independent cultivators behind than to do such a thing.

He withdrew his divine sense from the contact plaque, once more focusing on Sword Escape, using precise control to minimize spiritual power consumption as much as possible.

Sensing the increasingly close aura behind him, his heart felt exceedingly heavy.

"So it has finally come to this, Mr. Li, I am truly sorry for failing to repay your rescue, Jian Wuwei cannot repay you!" Jian Wuwei muttered to himself.

Just as he was about to lose hope, he found that out of the fifteen Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners behind him, four suddenly paused, and life auras disappeared from their bodies.

Four small Nascent Souls panicked and flew out from the bodies that lost life auras, not caring about their nearby companions, carrying the space items on their bodies, and fled into the distance.

The situation occurred too suddenly; by the time the remaining eleven Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners reacted, the four Nascent Souls had already fled far away.
