My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 47 Dangerous
Trouble!
The heads of several villages all wore expressions of worry.

They couldn't help but worry.

It's really because,
This period is when the Tribulation Cultivators are most rampant, and it is also the most dangerous time!
Now at this time,
Each village was to travel to Wujiaji to trade, carrying with them the harvest from the spiritual fields they had cultivated over the past six months, as well as spiritual herbs and various other materials collected from the wild.

then,

In the eyes of the cultivators,
These traveling merchant caravans, cobbled together from small villages, were like easy prey for prey.

Raiding these merchant caravans is far easier than breaching the defenses of a village.

The gains are far greater than the latter!
As a result,
It is quite obvious what choice the cultivators will make.

It is precisely because of this,
Normally,
Few cultivators would risk such a huge deal to attack villages and plunder small cultivation families.

But during the trading season,

Almost all the bandit cultivators would swarm out, ambushing merchant caravans from various villages in the mountains and forests, sharing in this short-lived feast.

During this process,

Even cultivators from some larger villages would mask their faces and hide their identities to join in this carnival.

It's practically like a hunting season in the wilderness!

For these weak people...

It was undoubtedly a disaster!
Fortunately,

They were not entirely without the ability to resist.

Perhaps it is because this place is located in a remote area and the cultivation world is not very prosperous.

The robbers who participated in the looting.
Most of them were below the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This may be because there is a huge watershed between the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Refining. After reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, one no longer cares about these small benefits.

It's also possible that they were suppressed by a higher-level cultivation power, preventing cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining from acting too recklessly.

But no matter what,
Since most cultivators are at the early to mid-stages of Qi Refining...
This gave these small cultivation families in the villages the opportunity to rebel.

Just like before,

They stayed close to Shen Shiying, the garrison commander of Dawancun.
With Shen Shiying as their core leader, relying on their large numbers and the powerful banner of the Tiannan Shen Clan, they managed to overcome any obstacles they encountered on the road.

But there is a premise.
That means the person who is the backbone of the organization is strong enough!
At the beginning,

Shen Shiying's own cultivation level was at the late stage of the fifth level of Qi Induction, and coupled with the powerful inheritance from the Tiannan Shen Clan, he was able to contend with the sixth level of Qi Induction here for a period of time.

With their help, it's not impossible for us to hold out for a while.

Even most cultivators at the sixth level of Qi Refining could defeat them, but they couldn't kill them all in a short time.

If even one or two people manage to escape...

The consequences of intercepting the behemoth that was the Shen family of Tiannan were demonstrated to them by the Hu family through their own experience.

Twenty years ago, the Hu family in Dawan Village,
It has quite a reputation in this area.

just,

All of this has one premise:
That is, the backbone can withstand the attacks of the tribulation cultivators!

Forget about Shen Shiying back then; he was at least a late-stage Qi Refining Stage 5 cultivator.

Some degree of ability can be used to bridge the gap in this level of understanding.

What about Shen Changchuan?
Fourth level of Qi cultivation

And he was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Such a young person,

Is it possible for someone to possess the strength to fight enemies two realms above them?
Impossible!
"Gentlemen, what should we do?"

The head of the Li family asked the crowd in a low voice.

Since there may be some competition,
However, in this respect, their interests align.

The group of people looked at each other, their brows furrowed, but they were at a loss for what to do.

"The young man is full of vigor. I'm afraid that Young Master Shen wants to prove himself. His words are so firm that it seems there is no room for reversal."

Guo Cheng sighed and said in a low voice.

In their preconceived notions, the one who killed the Four Fiends of Heshan must have been one of Shen Changchuan's elders.
However, the other party was so powerful that they disdained to appear before them and get to know them, so they tacitly refrained from asking.

Shen Changchuan's words now

It's like a rebellious teenager falling out with their elders, wanting to prove themselves and achieve something great.

Under these circumstances
No matter how much outsiders try to persuade them, it will be useless. Even if they explain the dangers of this trip, it will likely only fuel their resistance and make things more complicated.

"Sigh, let nature take its course. They are young and impulsive. If they anger the other party, they might cause some trouble."

"Since that senior took action to eliminate the Four Fiends of Heshan, he must have been aware of the dangers here. Perhaps he has been hiding behind the scenes protecting us all along?"

"In that case, this trip may not be as dangerous as it seems."

Guo Cheng said, trying to console himself.

"That's all it can do."

The group was filled with trepidation, but had no choice but to agree.

The group set off quickly.
A long line of fully loaded horse-drawn carts stretched out, kicking up dust as they headed towards Wujiaji.

Midway through the journey,
They also encountered fellow travelers like them on several occasions.

Large and small vehicles were carrying a lot of goods.
They all looked like other people heading to the Wujiaji market.

However, after being cautiously reminded by the heads of several villages, Shen Changchuan readily complied and proactively distanced himself from the others.

According to the heads of several families...

In the past, there have been instances of bandits disguising themselves as merchant caravans, asking to travel with them, and then launching a surprise attack at night, resulting in the near annihilation of the entire caravan.

Therefore, unless you know them well, you should always keep your distance from fellow merchants even when you encounter them.

Other than that,

Nothing unexpected happened to the team.

However, due to the large amount of luggage, the long journey of climbing mountains and wading through rivers, and the somewhat difficult and treacherous roads...
The pace of progress is somewhat slow.

On the fifth day,
We are three days away from Wujiaji.

At this time,

In the wild,
They encountered a chase.

A dozen or twenty men in black

Two figures, one old and one young, were chasing after them. The two quickly rushed past them, who were on guard.

What's going on?!

Could it be a trap?

Shen Changchuan's vigilance surged dramatically in that instant.

The entire team was on high alert.

The men in black who were chasing the old man and the young man not far away also saw Shen Changchuan and his group.

The leader, who appeared to be the head of the group, had a blue light flashing in his eyes as he swept over them.

in an instant,
Shen Changchuan and everyone else present felt as if their auras were being sensed and spied upon!
This appears to be a pupil technique used to detect the strength level of an enemy.

between breaths,

The cultivation levels of Shen Changchuan and his group were completely discovered by him.

"They're just a bunch of punks!"

"Since you're here, you might as well stay!"

"Kill! Leave no one behind!"

not far away,
The leader of the men in black grinned maliciously.
His gaze swept over the crowd.

His gaze swept over the several fully loaded carriages behind him, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Wait! Gentlemen, we are just passing by!"

The head of the Li family cried out in terror.

But the men in black did not hesitate at all. A faint white light shone from their bodies as they used their lightness technique, gripping their long swords as they rushed towards them!

Come on,

No need to worry about it anymore.

Let's just start fighting.

　I suddenly received news that it will be available for purchase on Friday, and I will update it in bulk then.
