"Senior Shen, what do you think about the current situation?" Shen Huayuan looked at Shen Luo and asked.
"There are two options. One is to head to the border and leave the Tang Empire. As far as I know, although there are demons outside the borders of the Tang Empire, they are much fewer than here, "Shen Luo said as he recalled the situation outside Changshou Village.
"Leave the Tang Empire?" The Shen Family members looked at each other.
"The other option is to head to Chang 'an. That is the capital of the Tang Empire, where the elites of the country gather. It should not have fallen yet," Shen Luo continued.
"That's right. Chang 'an must be fine. We panicked and forgot." Hearing this, many of the Shen Family members, including Shen Huayuan, brightened their eyes.
As people born and raised in the Tang Empire, they were obviously more inclined to the second option.
Shen Huayuan's mouth twitched. He was about to say something.
"Senior Shen, what are your plans?" Shen Yu suddenly asked.
Shen Huayuan and the others immediately understood and looked at Shen Luo.
Whether it was going to the border of the Tang Empire or to Chang 'an, without Shen Luo's help, they would not be able to arrive safely.
"I would like to make a trip to Chang 'an," Shen Luo said after a moment of silence.
In order to fully understand the situation of the Demonic Tribulation, they had to go to Chang 'an.
"That's right. We think so too. Chang 'an is safer," Shen Huayuan said immediately. The other cultivators of the Shen Family nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's move quickly. Those monsters have invaded Jianye City and no one knows what they will do next. It's best to leave this place as soon as possible." How could Shen Luo not understand the Shen family's intentions? He said with a smile.
"That's right. Let's go, let's go!" The Shen Family members were shocked and immediately said.
The caravan immediately turned around and headed for Chang 'an.
Fearing that the demons in Jianye City would chase after them, they hurried on and only stopped in the evening.
It was not that the Shen Family members did not want to continue, but the horses pulling the caravan were almost exhausted. They still needed horses for the rest of the journey and could not let them be too tired.
"What is this place?" Shen Huayuan looked around.
They had been on the road for the whole day and had no idea where they were now. There was a tall mountain peak nearby. The mountain peak was covered with maple trees. It was autumn now and the maple leaves were like fire. It was a beautiful scenery.
Unfortunately, everyone in the Shen family was running for their lives with heavy hearts and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
"This mountain peak is full of maple trees. It should be Qixia Mountain in Linchuan County." Shen Quan had been out and about all year round, so he knew a little more about geography. He sized up the tall mountain peak and said hesitantly.
"Qixia Mountain? Hmm, then we're not going in the wrong direction. "Shen Huayuan took out a map and nodded.
There was a small stream near the road. Some of the women and children of the Shen family hurriedly fetched water and started cooking on a flat piece of land by the side of the road, contributing a little of their strength.
The others were not idle either. They led the horses to the side to drink water and eat grass.
The piping hot meal was quickly cooked. Everyone had been running for a day and their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. Although this was just a simple vegetable soup with steamed buns, it was still very delicious.
"Senior Shen hasn't come out yet?" Shen Huayuan looked at a carriage whose door was tightly shut and asked Shen Yu in a low voice.
With cultivation at Shen Luo's level, it was not a problem to not eat or drink for a few months. Everyone in the Shen family had already gotten used to it.
"He's cultivating in the carriage. Don't disturb him." Shen Yu also looked in the direction of the carriage and said.
"It's all thanks to him. Otherwise, the journey to Chang 'an is long. God knows what else we would encounter." Shen Huayuan nodded and sighed.
"Father, don't think too much. The heavens will protect our Shen family." Shen Yu persuaded.
While Shen Luo and Shen Yu were talking, Shen Luo was sitting cross-legged in the carriage. He was circulating the Yellow Court Scripture with all his strength and trying to break the seal in his body.
Not long ago, he saw the scene in Jianye City. It made him understand that Out of Body Stage cultivators in small places like Longevity Village, Eastern Arrival County, and Spring Splendor City may be regarded as experts. However, in the real big cities, when faced with powerful monsters, they were still too weak. Recovering their cultivation as much as possible would only increase their ability to protect themselves in times of danger.
After his cultivation recovered to the late stage of Soul Condensation, Shen Luo could clearly feel that the seal in his body had loosened. The speed of breaking it had increased again.
He estimated that in three or four more days, he would be able to recover to the Out of Body Stage. At that time, he would be able to recover his full cultivation.
Outside, everyone in the Shen family ate dinner and quickly went to sleep, leaving only two cultivators to keep watch.
Time passed by little by little and it was soon midnight.
Inside the carriage, Shen Luo's closed eyes suddenly opened. He suddenly got up and got out of the carriage.
"Senior Shen," The two Shen family cultivators who were keeping watch saw Shen Luo come out and hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Tell everyone to get up. Some people are coming from behind. There are quite a few of them. They may also be refugees," Shen Luo said calmly.
The cultivators on guard were stunned for a moment. They looked behind them and listened carefully, but they didn't hear anything.
However, the two of them didn't dare to doubt Shen Luo's words in the slightest. They immediately ran to inform each other, woke everyone up, and conveyed Shen Luo's words. Immediately, the entire camp became crowded.
The women and children who didn't have the strength to fight hurriedly hid in the carriages. Shen Yu, Shen Huayuan, and the other cultivators each held their Magic Tools and Talisman Weapons in their hands.
Now that Demon Beasts were running rampant, the world was in chaos. They couldn't be careless at any time.
Not long after, the rumbling sound of carriages and horses came from the road behind them, and specks of fire appeared, causing a commotion among the people of the Chen family.
Shen Luo released her Divine Sense and immediately got a panoramic view of the situation.
It was a group of about seventy to eighty people, surrounded by seventeen or eighteen carriages. All of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes.
The people were faintly divided into two groups. One group wore white robes and had more people. The other group had fewer people and wore mainly blue clothes. It seemed that they were from two families. More than half of them were cultivators. There were five or six people in the Fasting Realm and two in the Soul Condensation Realm.
However, these people had deep fatigue on their faces. Their clothes were dirty and messy. Some of them even had bloodstains. It seemed that they had just experienced a fierce battle not long ago.
As the other party continued to come closer, Shen Yu and the others gradually saw the people coming. Their expressions became a little nervous.
"What a coincidence. It turned out to be these two families." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and murmured.
His murmur was so low that only Shen Yu next to him heard it. Her face showed a trace of surprise.
The group stopped about fifty or sixty feet away from the Shen family.
"May I ask which family is in front?" A middle-aged man in a white robe with a scar on his face walked out of the group and asked.
This person was one of the two Soul Condensation Cultivators.
