Shen Luo staggered out of the giant worm's mouth. The blood on the surface of his body quickly faded, and his body returned to its original size. However, his face was extremely pale, and his body was on the verge of collapse.
He had used a secret technique from the Yellow Court Scripture called "Heavenly Gang Qi". It could stimulate the potential of the body in a short period of time, and exert a strength several times stronger than usual. However, the price was not small. It consumed a lot of blood and Qi, and it would take a long time to recover. However, the situation was urgent, and he could not care so much.
He struggled to go ashore, but after taking two steps, his vision suddenly turned black, and he fell into the river.
The river was quite turbulent, and it flowed forward, and soon swallowed Shen Luo's body.
…
In a daze, Shen Luo's eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them.
A semi-curved black roof came into his view, and he could see a dense woven pattern of rattan mats on it.
He let out a light breath, and only felt that his chest was blocked by something. His whole body was sore and unbearable. He felt that although the poison on his body was not as serious as before, it seemed that it had not been removed yet.
Shen Luo just wanted to move, but his shoulder bumped into a lacquered wooden box next to him.
He looked around and found that the surrounding space was not spacious, and there were heavy wooden boxes and rolled up bedding. It seemed that he was in a moving carriage.
Shen Luo turned over with difficulty, and supported his body with his elbow, trying to get up.
However, the carriage seemed to have rolled over a stone, and suddenly shook, making him unable to support himself, and fell down.
"Uh …"
Shen Luo cried out in pain, and the pain in his body intensified, and his face turned pale.
The commotion wasn't small, and it alarmed the coachman outside. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young face with a hint of childishness poked in.
"You woke up?" The young coachman smiled and asked.
"Where is this?" Shen Luo asked, and struggled to get up again.
"Young Master, Miss said that your injury is not light, and you should not move. Lie down quickly." The young coachman saw this, and quickly pulled the reins, and shouted.
"Young Miss?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not listen to his advice and still insisted on climbing up. He leaned against the box behind him and sat down.
"Oh, it's our Eldest Miss Shen Yu. She found you unconscious by the river and saved you," the young driver said after a moment of surprise.
"Little brother, where is this?" Shen Luo coughed lightly and asked again.
"I don't know where this is. We've probably just reached the boundary of Songfan County. Sigh, the entire Ascension Province has been smashed into smithereens by the demon beasts. Let alone the cities and prefectures, even the mountains and rivers have been razed to the ground. How can we even tell which place is which? "The young driver could not help but sigh.
"Songfan County? You said that this is the territory of Songfan County? "Shen Luo was excited when he heard that, and his voice trembled slightly.
When the coachman saw him like this, he couldn't help but jump in fright. He thought that the person in front of him was injured and damaged his brain. He hurriedly said, "That … Young Miss said that when you wake up, I have to inform her. Wait a moment, I'll be right back."
After that, he put down the sedan curtain and jumped down from the carriage.
Shen Luo stared blankly at the slightly swaying sedan curtain in front of him. His mind was in a mess.
If this is the territory of Songfan County, doesn't that mean that I've actually returned to my hometown, Ascension Province? Then, isn't the magnificent city from before the prefecture's capital, Ascension City?
He settled his thoughts and sighed secretly. He moved his legs and sat cross-legged. His hands were in front of him, and he was about to adjust his breath for a moment.
However, when he did this, Shen Luo found that whether it was his Dantian or Spiritual Meridians, they seemed to be covered by something. He completely lost the connection with his mind and could not sense the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power at all.
Shen Luo was surprised and puzzled. There was a series of footsteps and shouts outside. The footsteps were a little messy, and there seemed to be a lot of people.
Soon, the sedan curtain of the carriage was lifted and placed on the roof of the carriage.
Shen Luo raised his head slightly and saw that there were seven or eight figures standing outside the carriage. The leader was a middle-aged man with white sideburns and a young woman in a green dress.
Among them, the middle-aged man was of medium build. His skin was slightly dark, and there was a vertical line between his eyebrows. His appearance was quite dignified. It seemed that he should be the leader of this team.
The young woman's appearance was not too beautiful, but the lines on her face were soft and made people feel close to her. It seemed that she should be the eldest daughter, Shen Yu, that the young coachman mentioned.
"You're awake?" The middle-aged man asked in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you for saving my life." Shen Luo showed a smile on his face and said with a fist salute.
"The world is full of difficulties. As a fellow human, we should help each other. You don't have to be so polite." The middle-aged man waved his hand, and his eyes were full of fatigue.
Shen Luo sighed and did not say anything.
"May I ask how I should address you?" At this moment, the young woman suddenly asked.
Shen Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Since they addressed each other as fellow, then this woman should be a cultivator as well.
"I have no magic power fluctuations on my body. How do you know I'm a cultivator?" But soon, Shen Luo was slightly puzzled.
"Fellow probably doesn't know that when I saved you yesterday, your injuries were far worse than now. If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have died no less than ten times. In the end, under the condition that you didn't take any medicinal pills, your injuries improved greatly in just a short day. If it wasn't for some special body refinement technique, it would surely be impossible for such an abnormality to occur, "Shen Yu said slowly.
Shen Luo's heart moved. He understood that it was most likely the benefits of cultivating the Yellow Court Scripture, and he felt lucky.
"Fellow, you haven't told me how to address you?" Shen Yu saw Shen Luo was slightly lost in thought and asked again.
"I'm sorry, I was slightly absent-minded. I'm Shen Luo," Shen Luo hurriedly said when he heard this.
The young woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, and a wisp of a strange expression flashed in her eyes.
The middle aged man hesitated slightly for a moment when he heard this, and his eyes flashed with slight surprise as well.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "Shen Luo asked when he saw this.
"It's nothing. It's just a slight coincidence that our Shen Clan has an ancestor called Shen Luo." Shen Yu smiled as she spoke.
When Shen Luo heard this, he also felt a little awkward, so he changed the topic.
After that, Shen Yu spoke as well and introduced herself and the others in the surroundings to Shen Luo.
After Shen Luo heard this, he found out that the middle aged man was called Shen Huayuan, and he was Shen Yu's father. At the same time, he was also the Patriarch of this branch of the Shen Clan. The others were mostly the juniors and guest elders of the clan.
However, to Shen Luo's surprise, besides the young carriage driver, the rest of the people surrounding the carriage were actually all cultivators. But practically all of them seemed to be at the early or middle stage of the qi refinement realm.
Amongst them, only Shen Yu was an exception, and she was a cultivator at the fasting realm.
