Shen Luo was still standing in the same place. The starlight emitted from his body dissipated little by little, and the flowing light in his eyes also dimmed.
He only felt a strong sense of fatigue hit him, and he could not help but kneel on the ground.
"I didn't expect that with just one use, the magic power in my body would be almost exhausted. Even my body would become so tired. It seems that I can't use this method casually for the time being." Shen Luo thought to himself.
With that, he forced himself to rush to the place where the stars fell.
When Shen Luo walked closer, he was surprised to see that there was a huge black pattern on the ground. In the middle, there was a pattern that looked like a five-pointed golden star, and there was a circle of cloud-like runes around it.
He could faintly feel some fluctuations of starlight on it.
Shen Luo walked towards the center of the pattern and saw a charred skeleton in the middle of the five-pointed star. It still maintained the posture of supporting the sky with both hands. Naturally, it was the Netherworld Scholar.
"The power is not bad, haha!" Shen Luo looked and laughed heartily.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated to adjust his breath.
Shen Yu saw that there was no movement here, so she waited for a while before coming over to check. In the end, she saw Shen Luo meditating beside the Netherworld Scholar's skeleton and was stunned for a moment.
After she came back to her senses, she did not disturb Shen Luo. She only found her long muslin magic weapon and silently waited by the side.
After Shen Luo woke up, the group did not immediately set off. Instead, they stayed in the Forest of Ten Thousand Peaches to rest for the night. They continued to set off for Jianye City the next morning.
…
A few days later, the group finally arrived near Jianye City.
The Shen family, who had been in a heavy mood along the way, finally became a little more spirited and began to talk and laugh.
In a carriage of the team, Shen Yu, Shen Huayuan, and a few other Shen family cultivators were gathered together to discuss something.
"In half a day, we will reach Jianye City. We can finally relax." Shen Quan said happily.
"Can Jianye City really resist those terrifying fiendish demons?" A delicate and pretty woman in her thirties asked doubtfully.
"Sister Xin, don't worry. You don't go out often, so you don't know the situation in Jianye City. The Bai Family is a famous exorcist family in the city. Their strength is not inferior to some large sects. The Bai Family's Elder Ancestor is a Half Immortal Almighty. It is said that he has a close relationship with the Life Transformation Temple. He will definitely protect the safety of the city. "Shen Quan chuckled.
"That's right. Jianye City should be safe. However, with the rise of the Magical Beasts, the citizens who have escaped from nearby areas will probably head there. Jianye City is probably overcrowded now. We need to plan carefully on how to continue our family's legacy when we arrive," Shen Huayuan said in a low voice.
"My Shen family has been in the herbal business for a long time. Now that we're in Jianye City, we'll naturally return to our old business. Now that fiendish demons are everywhere, there's no need to worry about our herbal business flourishing," said Shen Quan.
"Our Shen family's medical skills have been passed down from generation to generation, and we are improving day by day. Naturally, there is no problem. However, if we want to resume our old business, we need to find a way to solve the problem of the supply of medicinal materials," Shen Huayuan said.
Hearing this, the others nodded slowly.
Now that the world was in chaos, the transportation of goods was indeed a big problem. Without medicinal materials, even the best medical skills would be useless.
"Yu 'er, why aren't you saying anything?" Shen Huayuan looked at Shen Yu who had been silently looking outside the carriage and asked.
"No, I'm listening to your discussion. Father, you know that I'm not good at these things," Shen Yu's body trembled slightly as she came back to her senses.
"Hehe, I think Little Sister Yu 'er is thinking about that Shen Luo. It's no wonder. That Shen Luo is young, his cultivation is high, and he looks talented. It's normal for Little Sister Yu' er to be moved by him." The woman called Sister Xin followed Shen Yu's line of sight and saw a carriage. She giggled.
"Sister Xin, I only have respect for Senior Shen Luo. How could I have any other messy thoughts?" Shen Yu shook her head and smiled.
Hearing this, Shen Huayuan's expression changed.
"Father, don't listen to Sister Xin's nonsense. I was just speculating about Shen Luo's master and sect. I have no other thoughts." Shen Yu saw Shen Huayuan's expression and sighed.
"Yu 'er, Shen Xin's words are not nonsense. Now that the world is in chaos, although our Shen Family is also a cultivation family, our strength is too weak. We only have you as a cultivator. If we can make Shen Luo stay, our Shen Family will be safe no matter where we go. I see that he has been chatting with you a lot these days. He seems to be quite interested in you. "Shen Huayuan said with some excitement.
"If we can take this person as a son-in-law, it is indeed a good way to protect our Shen Family." The other people in the carriage also showed signs of interest and nodded.
"This … Patriarch, I was just joking. Little Sister Yu 'er's marriage is still up to her." Shen Xin was just joking. She didn't think that things would develop in this direction and hurriedly said.
On the other hand, Shen Yu's expression was calm and she wasn't angry.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Father, I feel that Senior Shen doesn't have any romantic feelings for me. He only looked for me to give me pointers in cultivation. I understand what you mean. I will also try to work in this direction, but I can't guarantee anything. After all, whether this matter succeeds or not depends on that person's wishes."
"Hehe, this is natural. Yu 'er, I'll leave this matter to you. You have to fight for opportunities. Even if you don't succeed, it will be beneficial to get closer to him." Shen Huayuan said with a smile.
In the other carriage, Shen Luo opened his eyes and a trace of helplessness appeared in the corner of his mouth. He shook his head.
At this moment, several mournful beastly roars came from the front and quickly approached.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and walked out of the carriage.
Four or five grey wolves appeared in the forest in front of them and rushed towards the carriage with faces full of excitement.
The Shen Family carriage immediately stopped and the two cultivators guarding the carriage immediately went to greet them.
At this moment, Shen Yu and the others also came out of the carriage and hurriedly went to support them.
These grey wolves were the most common of demonic beasts. Their strength was only at the early stage of Qi Refinement and they were quickly killed.
Shen Luo nodded inwardly and turned to go back into the carriage.
Along the way, they encountered demonic beast attacks, but the Shen Family members didn't panic. After a little reorganization, the Shen Family carriage quickly continued on toward Jianye City.
However, the closer they got to Jianye City, the more demonic beast attacks they encountered. In less than half a day, they had already been attacked four or five times.
This was completely different from what the Shen Family members had expected Jianye City to be very safe. The group couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Beside a large river about twenty to thirty kilometers away from Jianye City, the Shen Family group was once again attacked by a group of demonic beasts.
This river was Lishui River.
