Seeing this, Lu Yong's expression relaxed. He took a deep breath and stood up straight.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Bi, where are you going?" He turned around and looked at Bai Bi with a smile on his face.
"We're going to Chang 'an," Bai Bi said with a smile.
"Great minds think alike. I'm also going to Chang 'an. Why don't we travel together? My cultivation is still weak. If we meet a powerful monster, I'll need your help, "Lu Yong said with a smile.
"This … I'll ask Ancestor Xiaoyun first," Bai Bi looked at Bai Xiaoyun's carriage and said hesitantly. He then walked towards the carriage.
However, he stopped after taking two steps and turned around. It was Bai Xiaoyun who told him, "Ancestor agreed. I'll be waiting for Senior Lu's guidance."
"Sure, sure. Fellow Daoist Bai, please go ahead," Lu Yong said with a smile. He waved his hand and signaled the carriages to retreat and make way.
The people Lu Yong brought with him were from small clans and rogue cultivators. They knew Bai Xiaoyun's strength and couldn't wait to travel with him.
Bai Bi didn't stand on ceremony and led the carriages forward. Lu Yong and the others followed behind.
In Bai Xiaoyun's carriage, after he put down the curtain, he suddenly frowned and coughed.
"Are you okay?" Shen Luo asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine. I met a monster of the same level on my way here from the Transformation Temple. We fought and I suffered some internal injuries. They're acting up now," Bai Xiaoyun said in a low voice.
"Since you're injured, hurry up and recover. If we meet a powerful monster later, we'll need your help." Shen Luo stood up and bid farewell.
Bai Xiaoyun didn't ask him to stay. He sat down cross-legged and a layer of golden light appeared on his body.
Shen Luo returned to the carriages and didn't waste any time. He closed his eyes and started to cultivate.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Luo and the others took in many rogue cultivators and refugees along the way. At this time, the number of people in the group was close to three hundred. But because of this, their speed was greatly reduced. They were supposed to arrive at Swords Gate a day ago, but they were still nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, Shen Luo was leading the Shen Family at the front of the group, leading the charge. The Bai Family was at the back of the group, with Bai Xiaoyun among them to prevent any demons from following them. Lu Yong was in the middle of the group, responsible for providing support from the front and back.
"Senior Lu, how long will it take to reach the Sword Gate Pass?" asked an itinerant cultivator cautiously.
Lu Yong glanced at him and was about to curse, "How would I know?", but he forcefully swallowed the words back down and did not say anything.
Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
In his opinion, those refugees were just ants waiting to die on the ground. What difference did it make if they died a moment earlier or a moment later? If he brought them along, they would only be a burden. Now, they had even delayed their journey by a lot.
"Go, go, go. Don't bother Senior Lu. If you disturb his rest, can you bear the consequences?" Another person beside him smiled mockingly and waved his hand to chase away the itinerant cultivator.
These people originally wanted to follow Bai Xiaoyun. After all, he had the highest cultivation and it would be safer to follow him. Who would have thought that Bai Xiaoyun didn't care about their flattery at all? No matter how loudly they galloped, he always had a cold look on his face. It was as if he only treated the cultivator called Shen Luo differently.
Therefore, they had no choice but to find Lu Yong, who had the second highest cultivation in the group. They hoped that when danger came, they would be able to rely on him and get more protection.
Lu Yong, on the other hand, enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people. In addition, he had already restrained the hearts of the people from the small clans, so many people gathered around him. He had also become the backbone of most of the people in this group.
The reason why everyone was so anxious to get to Sword Gate Pass was firstly because it was now the only way to safely reach Chang 'an City. Secondly, it was originally a big city with a strong pass. Not only was the city's defense strong, but the core sect of the Sword Garret had also moved into the city. It was one of the few majestic cities that hadn't fallen yet.
These people who had just escaped from Jianye City were extremely tense. They urgently needed a safe place to stay.
At the front of the group, Shen Luo sat outside the carriage. His eyes were staring straight ahead, but his eyes were somewhat empty. He seemed to be lost in thought. A yellow paper talisman was held in his hand. It fluttered slightly with the gentle breeze in the mountains, making a slight rustling sound.
"Senior, since coming from Jianye City, you have been sulking. Is there something bothering you?" Shen Yu sat aside and looked at Shen Luo's frown. She couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Shen Luo came to his senses. However, he just smiled and shook his head, not explaining anything.
Bai Xiaotian's death in battle had a huge impact on his heart.
In the past, whether he wanted to admit it or not, deep down in his heart, he actually regarded the experience in the dream as an experience. It wasn't until this time when he saw his close friend die in battle with a half-immortal body that he suddenly realized that the dream wasn't just a dream. It was something that would happen a thousand years later.
If he had come to this point in reality, when Spring Splendor City and Jianye City fell, when his family and close friends were on the line of life and death, he didn't want to be like he was now, where he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.
"I must become stronger as soon as possible." Shen Luo swore in his heart and subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Senior …" Shen Yu looked at Shen Luo, her gaze suddenly moving downwards as she softly called out.
Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and looked down at his palm. Only then did he notice that the "Mountain Crossing Talisman" in his hand was shining brightly.
"There's a Demon Aura." Shen Luo immediately stood up and stopped the team.
The cultivators of the Shen Family immediately went into a defensive posture and scattered around their clansmen.
Then, several figures hurried over from behind. The person in the lead was Lu Yong.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lu Yong shouted.
Before Shen Luo could speak, a conveyance light flew over from behind. It was Bai Xiaoyun who had rushed over from the end of the team and said, "There's a Demon Aura in front.
"There's a strand of Demonic Qi up ahead. It's heading this way. However, it doesn't seem too strong."
"Is there only one? Could it be a scout of the Demon Army? "A bearded man behind Lu Yong asked cautiously.
"No." Shen Luo immediately said.
"How do you know?" The bearded man was a little surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Shen Luo didn't answer at all. Instead, he strode forward and walked forward alone.
Everyone looked over, and they saw an enormous figure that was almost 3m tall had shockingly appeared on the path ahead. He was born with large shoulders and a round waist. His upper body was bare, and he wore long pants. A shabby lion belt was tied around his waist, and he carried an enormous Ghost Head Hammer on his shoulder, causing him to seem rather ferocious.
