Chapter 336: Chapter 332: 1000 Years Later

Upon witnessing the scene, Lu Yong relaxed his expression, took a deep breath, and straightened his body.

“Bai Daoist friend, where are you headed?” He turned to Bai Bi and with a newly donned smile on his face, he asked him.

“We’re heading to Chang’an.” Bai Bi answered with a smile.

“What a coincidence, as I am also heading to Chang’an. Would you like to travel together? I am not as skilled as you, and in case we encounter powerful demons, I would need your help.” Lu Yong proposed, smiling.

“Let me inform Elder Xiao Yun.” Bai Bi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Xiaoyun’s carriage, and walked towards it.

“If Elder agrees, we’ll be more than happy to learn from Elder Lu.” Bai Bi stopped after only a couple of steps, turned around and relayed this, after receiving a message from Bai Xiaoyun.

‘Sure, let’s go first.'” With a broad smile, Lu Yong waved his hand to signal his team to step aside to clear the road.

Those that Lu Yong brought with him were from smaller clans and freelance cultivators in Jianye City. They all knew Bai Xiaoyun was powerful and therefore longed to travel with him.

Bai Bi took the lead without any hesitation, while Lu Yong and his followers trailed behind.

In Bai Xiaoyun’s carriage, he dropped the curtain and suddenly his eyes furrowed, and he coughed lightly.

“Are you all right?” asked Shen Luo, worried.

“I’m fine. On my way here from Hua Sheng Temple, I encountered a demon of equal level and had a fierce battle. I sustained some internal injuries, which are acting up now.” Bai Xiaoyun explained in a hushed tone.

“Since you’re injured, you should rest and recover as soon as possible. If we meet more powerful demons, we can rely on you to help us.” Shen Luo stood up and took his leave.

Bai Xiaoyun didn’t keep him. He crossed his legs and sat down in meditation, within which a golden light emerged.

Shen Luo returned to the front of the Shen family’s line and did not waste time, closing his eyes and starting to cultivate.

Time flew by, through several days.

Shen Luo and his group moved along the way, recruiting more and more freelance cultivators and refugees, until their ranks nearly surpassed three hundred. Nevertheless, this caused their pace to significantly slow down. Jianmen Pass, which they should have reached a day ago, was still not in sight.

At this time, Shen Luo led the Shen family at the front of the line. The Bai family were at the rear, with Bai Xiaoyun leading, in order to prevent any demons from trailing them. Lu Yong was in the middle of the team, coordinating everybody.

“Elder Lu, how much longer till we reach Jianmen Pass?” One of the trailing freelance cultivators carefully asked.

Lu Yong glanced at him, on the verge of saying “how should I know,” but instead he swallowed his words and remained silent.

Lu Yong wasn’t happy about taking in refugees. In his view, these refugees were nothing more than helpless ants on the verge of death. The fact they were being carried along was nothing but a hindrance, making the journey even slower.

“Go away. Don’t disturb Elder Lu while he’s resting. Could you bear the consequence?” said another man with a placating smile. He waved his hand to dismiss the freelance cultivator, then flattered,

They originally wanted to follow Bai Xiaoyun because he had the highest cultivation level and being with him would be safer. However, Bai Xiaoyun did not care about their existence, even despite their eagerness to flatter him. He seemed to show interest in only the cultivator named Shen Luo.

As a result, they had no choice but to follow Lu Yong, who had the second highest cultivation level. They hoped that in times of danger, Lu Yong could protect them.

Lu Yong enjoyed the feeling of being fawned upon. As more followers joined him, he slowly became the central figure of the team.

The reason they were eager to reach Jianmen Pass was twofold. Firstly, it was a must-pass to reach Chang’an City safely. Secondly, it was a fortified city where members of the powerful Jiange Sect were stationed. It was one of the few cities that hadn’t yet fallen.

Having just fled Jianye City, the group desperately needed a safe place to rest.

At the front of the team, Shen Luo sat on the outside of the carriage, staring blankly ahead. He held a yellow paper charm in his hand. As the mountain wind blew, the paper charm fluttered slightly, making a gentle rustling sound.

“Elder, you’ve seemed rather dispirited since we left Jianye City. Is there anything bothering you?” Shen Yu who was sitting next to him asked, seeing Shen Luo’s slightly furrowed brows.

Hearing her, Shen Luo was brought back from his reverie. He shook his head and smiled without giving any explanation.

The death of Bai Xiaotian had a significant impact on Shen Luo.

Regardless of whether he accepted it, in his innermost feelings Shen Luo used to regard his chronological experiences in Dreamland as mere honing experiences. It wasn’t until he saw his bosom friend die in a battle with his semi-immortal body that he suddenly understood that Dreamland was not just a dream. It foresaw what would exactly happen a thousand years later.

If reality were to progress to the point where his relatives and friends were all at the brink of life and death, he wished himself to be more capable than he currently was. He didn’t want to just watch them die helplessly.

“I must become stronger as soon as possible.” Shen Luo pledged to himself, his fists clenched subconsciously.

“Elder…” Shen Yu, looking at Shen Luo, suddenly shifted her gaze, a soft cry escaping her lips.

Shen Luo’s eyebrows twitched, and he looked down at his hands. Then he noticed the “Mountain Crossing Talisman” in his hand emitting a glow.

“There’s demon qi.” Shen Luo immediately stood up and halted the team.

The Shen Family cultivators immediately took defensive positions, surrounding their family members.

Then, several shadowy figures hurried over from the rear, with Lu Yong at the front.

“What happened? Is there trouble?” Lu Yong shouted as he arrived.

Before Shen Luo could reply, a ray of light shot over from behind – Bai Xiaoyun had also rushed from the rear of the team. He announced:

“There is a wisp of demon qi up ahead, coming in our direction. However, it doesn’t seem very strong.”

“Is there only one? Could it be a scout from the demon army?” a bearded man behind Lu Yong asked with caution.

“No.” Shen Luo immediately responded.

“How do you know?” The bearded man looked at Shen Luo, surprised by his response.

Shen Luo didn’t answer him, but instead stepped forward on his own, walking towards the demon.

Everyone gazed in the direction he was headed and saw an enormous figure, nearly ten feet tall, appearing on the path ahead. It was round and muscular with bare upper body, wearing trousers on the lower body. There was a worn-out Barbarian Lion Belt around its waist and it had a massive Ghost Head Hammer on its shoulder. It looked extremely fierce.
