I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

He said in a deep voice, "Take me to see this."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the village entrance, with Shi Hang and the two guards quickly following behind.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Jiang Wang looked in the direction Shi Hang was pointing and saw a large number of figures moving rapidly in the distant mountains and forests; they were the migrating human people.

At this moment, several villagers from the Tu family had noticed the anomaly and were looking in that direction with puzzled expressions.

"Young Master, should we send someone to intercept them?"

Shi Hang asked in a low voice, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

The Tu family village has always kept to itself and the nearby human tribes, but it never allows outsiders to conduct large-scale activities near its territory.

Jiang Wang said coldly, "No need."

They're just a group of humans fleeing from disaster; they can't cause any trouble.

"Let them go."

We must not send anyone to intercept them at this moment, otherwise it will only expose the plan and may even cause the human migration to fail.

Shi Hang paused, somewhat puzzled: "But young master, there are too many of them, what if..."

"There's no 'what if'."

Jiang Wang interrupted him, her tone carrying a hint of authority, "You dare to question my words?"

This was the first time he had shown such a tough attitude in front of Shi Hang, which was slightly different from Tu Xiaonai's usual arrogant but rarely scolding style.

Shi Hang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head: "Your subordinate wouldn't dare! Your subordinate obeys!"

Although he had doubts, he dared not disobey Tu Xiaonai's orders and could only tell people not to act rashly and to watch the human people leave from a distance.

Just then, Tu Cang arrived in haste with several clan elders, clearly having heard the news.

Seeing the figures in the distance, Tu Cang frowned: "Are those humans? Why are they migrating here on such a large scale?"

Jiang Wang stepped forward and said in a calm tone, "They are just some homeless refugees. Let them pass."

There's no need to delay your cultivation for these people.

Tu Cang looked at him, his eyes scrutinizing him: "Little lady, you're acting a bit strange today."

In the past, if something like this happened, you would definitely have gone to investigate. Why are you so calm today?

Tu Cang was, after all, a shrewd and calculating man. Although he did not suspect the identity swap, he did notice Jiang Wang's unusual behavior.

Jiang Wang's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface, his tone carrying a hint of impatience: "Grandpa, I've already said that my mind is on cultivation, and I can't be bothered with these trivial matters."

If Grandpa feels this is inappropriate, he can send someone to handle it himself; don't bother me.

After saying that, he turned and left, deliberately showing impatience to cover up his panic.

Tu Cang watched his retreating figure, his eyes filled with even more doubt, but he said nothing more.

He turned to the elders and said, “Send two people to follow them from a distance and see where they are headed. If they pose no threat, then we don’t need to pay them any attention.”

Report any unusual activity immediately.

"Yes!"

The two elders immediately responded and turned to make arrangements.

Tu Cang watched the figures gradually disappear into the distance, feeling uneasy but unable to pinpoint what was wrong. He could only sigh and lead the group back to the village.

Jiang Wang returned to the back mountain and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one had followed him.

That was really dangerous; I almost let Tu Cang see through my disguise.

He took out a communication jade talisman and infused it with spiritual power again: "Elder, the situation has changed. The Tu family has discovered your whereabouts and sent people to follow you."

"Speed ​​up immediately and reach the new base within half an hour. I'll find a way to distract our pursuers."

Immediately, the Grand Elder's urgent voice came from the other end of the jade talisman: "Understood! Mr. Jiang, rest assured, we are almost there and will arrive within half an hour."

"I'll leave the task of following them to Mr. Jiang!"

After hanging the jade talisman, Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he vanished from the spot in a flash.

He channeled his spiritual power and chased after the two members of the Tu family who were tracking the human race.

These two clansmen were not highly skilled, only at the Acquired Realm, and were no match for Jiang Wang.

But he couldn't kill them directly, otherwise it would only arouse the suspicion of the Tu family. He could only try to lure them away.

Soon, Jiang Wang caught up with the two clansmen.

He did not reveal himself, but instead went around to the front, used his spiritual power to create a violent fluctuation, and let out a roar like a demon beast.

Upon hearing the roar, the two tribesmen's expressions changed, and they immediately stopped in their tracks, cautiously looking around.

"what?"

One of the tribesmen said in a low voice, his eyes filled with fear.

Most of the monsters in this area have been cleared out by Tu Xiaonai, so there are very few monsters with such a powerful aura.

Another clansman said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but it looks like a powerful demon beast."

Should we go up and take a look?

"forget it."

The first tribesman shook his head. "Young Master said that those humans are just refugees, and there's no need to investigate further."

If we encounter a powerful demonic beast, we're no match for it. We should go back and report to the clan leader.

After discussing it for a while, the two decided to give up the pursuit and turned to run towards the village, intending to report the matter of the monster to Tu Cang.

Jiang Wang watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a cold smile playing on his lips. Then, in a flash, he sped off in the direction of the human migration.

He needed to confirm that the human people had safely arrived at the new stronghold before he could feel completely at ease.

Half an hour later, Jiang Wang arrived at the outskirts of the human race's new stronghold.

This is a secluded valley surrounded by mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The entrance to the valley is protected by hidden barriers, making it difficult to be discovered.

He saw the human people entering the valley in an orderly manner, with the Grand Elder standing at the entrance directing them, his face showing fatigue but even more so, satisfaction.

Upon seeing Jiang Wang approach, the Grand Elder immediately went to greet him and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Jiang, you've arrived! The people have all arrived safely, thanks to your protection."

Jiang Wang nodded, his tone calm: "It's good that you're alright."

The Tu family sent men to follow us, but I've lured them away. They might come back to investigate, so you must be extra vigilant, strictly adhere to the rules, and avoid going out unnecessarily.

"understand!"

The elder nodded quickly, "We have already arranged for people to take turns on duty 24 hours a day, and we will definitely not expose the location of the stronghold."

Mr. Jiang, what are your plans next? Are you going back to Tujia Village?

A hint of seriousness flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes: "We must go back."

I am now Tu Xiaonai. If I suddenly disappear, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Tu family. At that time, not only will my identity be exposed, but you will also be in danger.

I will remain with the Tu family, secretly gathering intelligence and seeking opportunities to completely eliminate this threat.

The elder said with great concern, "But Mr. Jiang, the Tu family is dangerous, especially Tu Cang and Tu Xiao Nai themselves. If your identity is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Why don't you stay here? We'll think of another way."

"No need."

Jiang Wang shook his head, his tone firm, "This identity is of utmost importance to us now, and we cannot give it up easily."

I have the celebrity mask and the Chaos Pearl in my possession; as long as I act carefully, I won't be easily exposed. You can rest here in peace, take good care of the people, and I will regularly send you messages informing you of the situation outside.”

The Grand Elder knew Jiang Wang's personality; once he made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it.

He could only nod: "Then Mr. Jiang, please take good care of yourself. If you encounter any danger, please send us a message immediately. We will do everything in our power to save you."

"it is good."

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I should go back now. If I go back any later, Tu Cang will become suspicious."

After saying that, he didn't linger. With a flash, he disappeared from the spot and headed towards the Tu Family Village.

By the time they returned to Tujia Village, it was already dark.

The village was brightly lit, and many villagers were still chatting outside, talking about the human migration and the roar of the monsters they had witnessed during the day.

Upon seeing Jiang Wang approach, the villagers all stood up and bowed, and the murmurs gradually subsided.

Jiang Wang walked straight towards the back mountain. As soon as he reached the mountain pass, he saw Shi Hang standing there waiting.

Upon seeing him, Shi Hang immediately stepped forward: "Young Master, you're back."

The clan chief asked me to wait for you here, saying he needs to speak with you.

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm: "What is it?"

"The clan chief said that the aura of the monster discovered during the day was very unusual. He wants you to investigate tomorrow to see what kind of monster it is. If it poses a threat, eliminate it as soon as possible to prevent it from harming the village."

Shi Hang said respectfully.

Jiang Wang nodded, his tone indifferent: "I understand."

I'm tired, I need to go cultivate. Don't bother me anymore.

After saying that, he walked around the stone rammer and went straight into the back mountain, leaving the stone rammer standing there alone.

Back by the bluestone, Jiang Wang sat down and began to make plans in his mind.

Tu Cang sent him to investigate the aura of the demonic beasts, which was both a problem and an opportunity.

The problem is that he needs to fabricate a plausible explanation to fool Tu Cang; the opportunity, on the other hand, is that he can use the pretext of reconnaissance to leave the village, maintain contact with the human stronghold, and at the same time learn more about the situation in the vicinity and look for more opportunities.

He raised his hand to stroke the artist's mask on his face, feeling the spiritual fluctuations emanating from it, and thought to himself, "Little Tu, you can just stay in the Chaos Pearl in peace."

From this day forward, I am Tu Xiaonai.

"It's time for me to stir up the turbulent world of Journey to the West."

As night deepened, the back mountain returned to tranquility, with only the rustling of the wind through the branches and leaves.

Jiang Wang closed his eyes and began circulating his internal energy, pretending to cultivate.

The days to come will not be easy. Tu Cang's suspicions, the Tu family's probing, the safety of the human race, and the hidden dangers of the Journey to the West world all weigh on his shoulders.

But he did not back down; his eyes were filled with determination.

He has weathered countless storms and is no longer the naive boy he once was. No matter what difficulties he encounters, he is confident that he can overcome them one by one.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Shi Hang arrived at the back mountain and respectfully said, "Young Master, the clan leader requests your presence in the front hall to discuss the investigation of the demonic beasts."

Jiang Wang slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and said in a flat tone, "I understand."

He stood up, dusted himself off, and walked towards the front hall.

A new test is about to begin.

Inside the front hall, Tu Cang and several clan elders were already waiting.

Upon seeing Jiang Wang enter, Tu Cang said, "Little Madam, today you will go and investigate the aura of the demonic beast from yesterday. You must find out the origin and strength of that demonic beast."

If they are not strong enough, kill them directly; if they are too strong, return and report first, then we will discuss countermeasures.

Jiang Wang nodded slightly: "Mm."

Without saying a word, he turned and left, looking eager to investigate.

Tu Cang watched his retreating figure, the doubt in his eyes still lingering, but he said nothing more and could only let him leave.

Stepping out of the front hall, Jiang Wang headed straight for the village entrance.

Shi Hang quickly followed: "Young Master, shall I accompany you? It would be good to have someone to look after you."

Jiang Wang glanced back at him, his tone indifferent: "No need."

This is a small matter; I can handle it all by myself.

You stay in the village, guard the back mountain, and don't allow anyone to approach.

He deliberately distracted Shi Bang so that he could take the opportunity to contact the human settlement while also being able to move freely.

Shi Hang dared not disobey and could only stop in his tracks: "Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Jiang Wang ignored him and flashed off toward the direction where the demonic beast aura had been created yesterday.

He didn't actually go to investigate any monsters, but instead took a detour and headed towards the new human settlement.

He needed to see the Grand Elder as soon as possible to inform him of his next plans and also to find out about the resettlement of the human people.

Half an hour later, Jiang Wang arrived at the new human stronghold.

The Grand Elder was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing him, he immediately came forward and said, "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here? Has something happened?"

"fine."

Jiang Wang shook his head. "Tu Cang asked me to investigate the so-called aura of the demonic beasts, so I took the opportunity to come and take a look."

How are the people being resettled?

The elder smiled and said, "Everything has been arranged."

There is enough water and food in the valley to sustain us for a while.

However… our cultivation resources are running low. If we remain here for too long, it might affect the cultivation of our clan's disciples.”

Jiang Wang frowned slightly; this was indeed a problem.

Humans already lacked cultivation resources, and after multiple migrations, their resources were almost depleted.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "I understand."

I will try to find cultivation resources for you.

There are many resources in Tujia Village, and I will take the opportunity to get some and send them here.

Additionally, when I'm exploring, I also keep an eye out for nearby resource points to see if I can find any opportunities.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang!"

The elder said excitedly, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Cultivation resources are extremely important to the human race.

Jiang Wang nodded: "I can't stay too long. I need to go back and fabricate the investigation results to avoid arousing Tu Cang's suspicion."

This is a communication jade talisman. If you encounter an emergency, send me a message immediately.

After saying that, he took out a jade talisman and handed it to the Grand Elder, then turned and left.

Returning to the place where he had created the aura of the demonic beast yesterday, Jiang Wang circulated his spiritual power, deliberately leaving some traces of a fight. At the same time, he killed a passing demonic beast, took its inner core, and planned to go back and fool Tu Cang.

Tu Cang would definitely check the inner core, so he deliberately chose a demon beast of medium strength, so that it would not appear too weak and would not arouse Tu Cang's suspicion.

Having done all this, Jiang Wang, holding the demon beast's inner core, headed towards the Tu Family Village. (End of Chapter)
