For the figures behind him, who were clearly waiting for his arrival, Jiang Yun was unsurprised. They must be from the Lin and Qian families.

Actually, according to his original plan, he was just waiting for an opportunity to leave Baijiagong first and give them a chance to kill him.

But unexpectedly, I was pulled away by Yu Cangwu halfway through, which resulted in the failure of my plan.

Although he wanted to kill these people now, he was eager to return to Xiao Village, so he could only choose to ignore them, speed up, and try to leave them behind.

However, at that moment, a slow and languid voice came once again from the Ba Jia Ji, "Brother Gu, we haven't finished our business yet, why did you leave so suddenly!"

To Cangwu!

Jiang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. How could Cang Wu still be clinging to him!

Even after he had left Bai Jia Ji, he actually came back after him.

Although unwilling, Jiang Yun couldn't truly offend Yu Cangwu. He could only stop his advance, turn around, and watch as Yu Cangwu, with his entourage, flew slowly towards him in the distance.

As for the dozen or so figures that were originally following him, they also immediately dispersed upon seeing Yu Cangwu appear.

Even if the Lin and Qian families were incredibly bold, they would absolutely never dare to kill Jiang Yun in front of Cang Wu.

Jiang Yunmian gave a wry smile and bowed to Yu Cangwu, "Young Master Yu, I truly have something urgent to attend to. Perhaps you could leave me your contact information? Once I've dealt with it, I will come find you!"

"Then, I will definitely have a good chat with Young Master!"

<<>>>

"Anyway, I don't have anything to do. If you don't mind, ancient brother, how about we go together? Perhaps I can help you out a bit."

"This…"

To be honest, Ginger Cloud knew very well that if Yu Cangwu was really there to accompany him, the crisis in Xiao Village would be extremely easy to resolve.

However, so far, I am still clueless about the true purpose of Cang Wu finding me.

Although he said it was because he saw through his own shapeshifting ability and thought of his master, who knows if he had other intentions?

Or, could he also covet something in Xiao Village, just like Kimura and Qiancun?

Seeing that Jiang Yun remained silent, Yu Cangwu waved the folding fan in his hand and said: "Senior Jiang, no, I think it would be more appropriate to call you Brother Jiang, or perhaps Elder Xiao of the village?"

As for Cang Wu recognizing his identity, Jiang Yun didn't find it surprising at all.

I was so flustered just now that I didn't even have time to change clothes before rushing into Xiao Village's stone house. I'm afraid many people must have seen through me by now.

Since I've been found out, Ginger Cloud simply no longer concealed it and nodded, "Sorry, this one is indeed the temple offering of Xiao Village - Ginger Cloud!"

"At Cangwu nonchalantly shook his head and said, 'Whether your surname is Jiang or Gu, I haven't finished what I was saying. The reason I sought out Brother Jiang is to find out who actually refined those Tongtian Pills!'"

At this point, Jiang Yun finally understood.

As Yu Cangwu mentioned earlier, his master chose to disappear because of something he couldn't bear to speak of.

... while traveling throughout the Azure Cloud, his identity shouldn't have been on the Hundred Families Registry. Yet he arrived at the Qian family, and it seemed like he was there to discuss some kind of business deal with them.

It is not hard to imagine that his master must have fallen ill, possibly with a serious ailment. That's why he seeks out those skilled in alchemy throughout the land.

But he didn't expect that his appearance would make him see the true face of the Qian family. Coupled with his pills, he simply turned his target to himself.

The purpose, should be nothing more than to ask someone to help refine medicine.

After understanding all of this, Jiang Yun readily admitted, "I made it!"

Ginger Cloud's answer immediately brightened Yu Cangwu's eyes. He said, "That's great! Now, no matter what, I have to follow Brother Ginger."

Since knowing the other party's true purpose was not to covet Xiao Village, Jiang Yun naturally no longer rejected them following behind.

Moreover, considering that the Yu Family's business is vast and influential, if one could truly forge a connection with them, it would be immensely beneficial for future endeavors in this ancient and desolate wasteland.

"Okay, but Xiao Cun is under attack right now and I need to get back there…"

Before Jiang Yun could finish his words, Yu Cangwu had already interrupted: "Brother Jiang, please feel free. Rest assured, I won't let you down!"

With that, Jiang Yun didn't say anything more. He clasped his fist in a salute to Yu Cangwu and immediately spread out his form, hurrying towards the mountain valley of Xiao Village.

To save time, Jiang Yun even merged his three avatar bodies with his main body. Coupled with his already extremely fast speed, he moved like a bolt of lightning, disappearing in an instant.

Watching Ji Yun's receding figure, Yu Cangwu leisurely raised his hand and threw out a golden-winged roc, carrying everyone onto the roc's back.

The Dapeng soared into the sky with a clear, crisp cry. Its wings spread wide, and its figure vanished in an instant.

As for those from Linqian and the two villages who had originally intended to kill Jiang Yun, they could only look at each other helplessly at this moment, shaking their heads and returning to Baijiaji.

Even if they could catch up to Jiang Yun, with Yu Cangwu's presence, they knew there was no chance of killing him. Therefore, they could only give up.

……

The Xiao Village valley has now become a battlefield!

As Ginger Cloud had predicted, although Kimura had long planned to exterminate Xiao Village, he had been unable to act because of the formation outside Gu Kou.

But, as Ginger Cloud punished the people of Lin Village within Baijiaji, Kimura finally decided to eliminate Xiao Village before Ginger Cloud returned.

Because they couldn't confirm whether or not Jiang Yun was a true descendant of the Dao Clan, they didn't dare to attack him.

But if Ginger Cloud were left in Xiao Village, with his strength and background, he could very well help Xiao Village grow stronger. The surrender of Li Village is a perfect example.

By then, even if they still wanted to destroy Xiao Village, it would be possible, but the price they would have to pay would undoubtedly be much greater.

Therefore, now is the best opportunity to deal with Xiao Village!

This time, Kimura and Lincun sent out a total of 100 cultivators, over a thousand ordinary beasts, one exotic beast, and one strong expert in the Dao Entry Realm!

Such a massive force could easily wipe out Xiao Village.

However, the prerequisite to destroying Xiao Village was to first destroy the formation at its entrance. Therefore, after they appeared, they didn't say a word and immediately began attacking the formation.

This formation was already on the verge of collapse, and being attacked by so many people at once made it extremely precarious, on the verge of complete disintegration.

Unable to do anything else, Xiao Yun could only personally guard the formation, manipulating the power of the formation to bind that powerful expert at the Dao Entry Realm.

And among the two villages of Xiao and Li, all those who were clan members of Fortune Land or above rushed out to engage the enemy.

Even the five demonic beasts, accompanied by over three hundred powerful common beasts, joined the battlefront without hesitation.

After all, Ginger Cloud had entrusted them with a command before leaving: to protect the safety and security of Xiao Village.

Even so, because the strength of both sides differed greatly, especially with cultivators of the Cave Heaven realm in Mulin and Liangcun villages, casualties appeared in Xiao Li village as soon as the battle began.

Thanks to the five demonic beasts, especially Xiao Fu who, with his small size and incredible speed, single-handedly entangled five cultivators from the Cave Heaven realm. This allowed both sides to temporarily reach a stalemate.

But as time passes, especially with the gradual weakening of the formation's power, once that In-Dao Realm expert breaks free, what awaits everyone will still be a catastrophe without end!
