Lu Chuan smiled and asked, “What do you want to know?”

“The secular world is in the End of Sects and Magic Era, is that true?”

He asked curiously.

“Of course, that’s true.”

“As for the specific reason, it’s, of course, unknown, but in the secular world, the Spiritual Energy is so thin that it makes cultivation impossible.”

“I see, so the people of the secular world must all be ordinary people then, how do they survive?”

He continued to ask out of curiosity.

Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “If you’re asking that, I don’t really know what to say, I can’t explain it to you briefly.”

“In short, the people there face less pressure to survive, and it’s more relaxed.

Of course, they also face some pressures, but compared to the Kunlun Domain, at least there’s no constant threat to their lives.”

After listening to Lu Chuan’s words, Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “If the Kunlun Domain and the secular world were to fight, which side do you think would win?”

Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly with a smile, “What’s the point of such a question?

It’s something that’s never going to happen.”

“How about this, if you have the chance in the future, just go see the secular world for yourself, and you will naturally understand what kind of world it is.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded excitedly, “No problem, when I have the time, I must go and see for myself!”

The two continued to chat idly in the carriage.

Time slipped away unknowingly, and soon, it was midday.

When it was time for lunch, several people took out their lunchboxes, ate quickly, and then continued to wait in the carriage.

“By evening, we will pass through a small town.

There’s an inn there where we can rest for the night and continue the journey tomorrow morning.”

Dongfang Cheng said while eating.

Gu Xiaorou asked, “Why not just travel overnight to reach Forest City?

By the time we get there, it will be dawn, and we won’t be delayed.”

“For cultivators, going without sleep for one night doesn’t have much effect.

It’s not impossible to travel overnight, but traveling at night could lead to accidents.”

Dongfang Cheng’s face became tense and serious, “There are also quite a few bandits lurking on the roads near Forest City.”

“This carriage is big and lavishly decorated.

Passing by at night would easily attract the attention of bandits.”

“At that time, dealing with bandits would be even more troublesome.”

“So, it’s best to rest for the night and set off at dawn.”

Dongfang Cheng seemed more familiar with the area, and after he finished speaking, Lu Chuan nodded.

“In that case, let’s continue tomorrow morning.”

The carriage kept moving forward, surrounded by a lush green prairie, with herds of wild buffalo grazing.

Gu Xiaosang leaned against the window, gazing dreamily at the scenery outside.

…

By evening, the sunset turned the sky red, and the light gradually dimmed.

From afar, Dongfang Cheng could see the small town.

“That town is called Tucao Town.

It has a total population of just seven or eight hundred people, all of whom raise cattle and sheep nearby.”

“Let’s rest in this town for the night.”

The carriage entered the town, surrounded by stone brick houses, with a few passersby here and there, but all in a hurry, as if they had urgent matters to attend to.

Soon, the doors on the streets were all tightly closed, and the pedestrians vanished from the streets, almost all the shops had closed their doors.

In no time, the streets became deserted.

After getting off the carriage, Dongfang Cheng curiously looked around, somewhat puzzled; were these people hiding from something?

From them?

That couldn’t be, it was their first visit here.

Perhaps, it was just because it had gotten dark, so they had closed up shop early to go home, not wanting to invite trouble.

Dongfang Cheng said with suspicion, “I have a feeling that the security here might not be very good.”

“All the doors have been closed, and I don’t even know if we can stay at the inn.”

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked.

“Let’s find the inn first and then see, go in and ask.”

Dongfang Cheng led the way, with Lu Chuan and the others following closely behind.

Soon they arrived in front of an inn.

“Common Fortune Inn, that’s a familiar name, let’s go in and ask.”

Dongfang Cheng walked into the inn and happened to see the landlady counting money behind the counter.

She looked up and saw Dongfang Cheng, hurriedly came out from behind the counter, and started thrusting her hands at Dongfang Cheng, ushering him out.

“Gentlemen, please leave, we’ve stopped doing business, come back another day.”

“What do you mean ‘another day’?

We just want to stay for one night!”

Dongfang Cheng said impatiently.

“Not even for one night, we are not operating now!”

Dongfang Cheng stood still, and the landlady couldn’t budge him at all, simply sighing in resignation.

“What’s the situation?

Why does everything close up at night, who are you guarding against?”

“Why do you care about this, it has nothing to do with you, just go quickly, and don’t bother us.”

She said very anxiously.

“If you don’t tell us, we definitely won’t leave!”

Dongfang Cheng declared firmly.

Seeing this, the landlady immediately sighed in resignation.

“Even if I tell you, you won’t know, Black Clouds Camp, have you heard of it?”

“You’ve never even heard of them, let alone know their strength.

These villains are coming tonight, so stop causing trouble here.”

“Quickly move your carriages away from here, don’t park them where they’ll attract attention, or you’ll get me into trouble.”

She spoke very irritably.

Hearing this, Dongfang Cheng frowned slightly, “Black Clouds Camp…

I’ve never heard of it, they must have emerged in recent years, right?”

“I don’t care when they appeared, all I know is that whenever they come here, we have no good days!”

“Today, you’d better leave quickly, we’re not taking any guests.”

The landlady continued to urge them.

“Madam, just tell us the truth, what are they coming to this town for?

I can help you.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, unwilling to let Lu Chuan and the others to spend the night outside or to travel by night.

The landlady, utterly lost for words, had no choice but to compromise, as she was unable to force these people out on her own.

“Alright, I’ll tell you.”

“Black Clouds Camp had sent someone to our town before, kidnapped children from several families, and also extorted us, demanding a ransom of one tael of Gold per person to get the children back.”

“Today is the day to pay up, and if we don’t, they’ll kill the hostages and even threaten to massacre the town!”

Lu Chuan continued to ask, “If they have the ability to massacre the town, why wait for you to pay up?

They could just come and take everything.”

“Those bandits aren’t fools; keeping us alive means we can keep making money for them.

If they kill us, they’ll only make a quick buck but lose a steady income.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and pressed on, “When are they coming?

I’ll go find them.”

“Forget it, you go find them?

With your skinny frame, how many slashes can you withstand?”

“Don’t worry about it.

If those people come, I can handle them, but first, you have to let us stay for one night.”
