Chapter 334: Chapter 330: Escape to Chang’an

“The Bai Family has only these descendants left, and I naturally needed to stay and protect their safety. The decision to go to Chang’an is the right one as it is still considered safe.” Bai Xiaoyun nodded and said.

“With Daoist Bai accompanying us, there’s no need to fear even the most terrifying demons anymore.” Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief.

He had been living on edge these past few days in order to protect these people. With the aid of Bai Xiaoyun, a Great Mahayana Stage Cultivator, he can finally set his mind at ease and focus on resolving his own problems with the seal.

“We just went through a big battle here, it’s not a place to talk. We’ll leave first.” said Bai Xiaoyun, gesturing to the three families’ carriages to continue heading towards Chang’an city.

Having just witnessed the recent disaster, all three families had suffered no small number of casualties. However, most of the carriages remained intact, thus travelling shouldn’t be an issue.

A carriage was arranged for Bai Xiaoyun by the Bai Family. Bai Xiaoyun invited Shen Luo to join him, and Shen Luo accepted graciously.

“Big Brother Shen, what level of cultivation have you reached? Although the use of mana can slow down the aging of the physical body, after all these years, even with any beauty-preserving techniques, there should be some changes in one’s appearance. But you look exactly the same as before. Could it be that you have already achieved the True Immortal Realm where the body is immortal?” Bai Xiaoyun studied Shen Luo’s appearance closely and finally asked hesitantly.

“How could that be possible? All I did was have the fortune to consume an Age-Defying Pill from Ancient Times. That’s why I’ve managed to maintain my youthful looks. As for my cultivation level, I am only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Moreover, in Chunhua City, I fell into the hands of a person known as Qianyan Ancestor, and my mana was sealed. It’s taken me this long to partially break the seal.” Shen Luo gave a bitter smile and shook his head, speaking half-truths and half-lies.

“Nascent Soul Middle Stage? With your talents, it shouldn’t…” Bai Xiaoyun murmured, but quickly stopped himself, considering Shen Luo’s feelings. Instead, he moved on to another topic.

“I know the methods of that old demon Qianyan Ancestor. If Big Brother Shen doesn’t mind, I can help you break the seal.” suggested Bai Xiaoyun.

“Thank you very much.” Hearing this, Shen Luo was delighted and expressed his gratitude.

“There’s no need for such formalities between us.” Bai Xiaoyun flicked his sleeve and a white light burst out, enveloping the entire carriage. All sounds from outside were immediately cut off, and even the bumpy movement of the carriage seemed to vanish.

Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the middle of the carriage, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Bai Xiaoyun moved his arm, placing his palm on Shen Luo’s back.

Immediately, a golden flame erupted, resembling a golden tide, rushing into Shen Luo’s body and transforming into a vast, burning mana, circulating throughout his meridians.

Shen Luo furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and then relaxed again, guiding the golden light that had been infused into his body towards the remaining prohibitions.

“Boom” “Boom” “Boom”, a series of muffled sounds echoed from his body. The scorching mana infused by Bai Xiaoyun, like a furious wave, shattered the remaining prohibitions within him, allowing them to loosen and break apart.

Shen Luo’s heart was filled with joy as he slowly circulated his mana around his body.

The sensation of mana flowing freely throughout his meridians was fascinating. After thirty-six cycles of meditation, his cultivation level finally stabilized, and only then did he open his eyes.

“I am deeply grateful for the help of Daoist Bai.” Shen Luo stood up and thanked Bai Xiaoyun once again.

“Didn’t I already say, there’s no need for thanks? Why are we standing on ceremony again? As for repaying me, it’s completely unnecessary. If it weren’t for your help back then, I wouldn’t have rediscovered my desire for cultivation. I might have already turned to dust. How can I repay such a kindness?” Bai Xiaoyun laughed heartily, showing Shen Luo a glimpse of the carefreeness he had in his youth.

“Haha, you’re right. But Daoist Bai, what level have you reached in your current cultivation?” Shen Luo also laughed heartily and asked.

“I’ve just broken through to the Mahayana Middle Stage.” Bai Xiaoyun, while speaking, waved his hand and dispersed the white light surrounding the carriage.

Shen Luo nodded to himself. As one progresses to higher levels in cultivation, each step becomes more difficult. It’s already quite remarkable to achieve the Mahayana Middle Stage in a thousand years.

The two continued their casual conversations in the carriage. Most of the time it was Bai Xiaoyun speaking, and Shen Luo listening.

GIVEN Bai Xiaoyun’s higher cultivation level, and the fact that he feared that Shen Luo would feel troubled because of his lower cultivation level, Bai Xiaoyun did not enquire about Shen Luo’s circumstances. Instead, he continuously relayed his experiences of his years cultivating at Hua Sheng Temple and the changes in Jianye City.

“Speaking of Jianye City, I remember that the Lin and Bai families were enemies. How is it that they now seem to be living in such harmony?” Shen Luo, peering through the curtain at the back of the carriage, looked at the monks from the Bai and Lin families outside and asked curiously.

“After a thousand years, the Bai and Lin clans are no longer rivals. Many marriages have occurred between the two families and they are now kin. Besides, with my brother’s influence, who dared to oppose the Bai Family in Jianye city?” Bai Xiaoyun proclaimed proudly.

Before his words had even faded away, he remembered that Bai Xiaotian had fallen. Despite claiming earlier that he would no longer grieve for it, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

Shen Luo sighed inwardly and was about to change the subject when the carriage suddenly came to a halt.

“Ancestor, there’s a fork in the road ahead. Which path should we take?” Bai Bi came to the side of the carriage and asked respectfully.

Bai Xiaoyun lifted the curtain of the carriage, and it seemed that without them noticing, the team had emerged from Qixia Mountain. In front of them, the official road had three separate forks, leading to the northwest, north, and northeast respectively.

“Where do these three roads lead?” Bai Xiaoyun withdrew his gaze and asked.

“According to the map, the road to the northwest leads to Jianmen Pass. The northern road leads to Kui Mountain City and the northeast road leads to Wangxiang County. All three can lead to Chang’an.” Bai Bi answered.

Having glimpsed at the maps of the area around Jianye City, Shen Luo roughly remembered the routes. Although the roads to Jianmen Pass and Wangxiang County could lead to Chang’an City, both were long detours. The road to Kui Mountain City was the shortest.

“Let’s take the route that goes through Jianmen Pass.” Bai Xiaoyun mused for a moment, then replied.

Bai Bi opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. He agreed, and turned to notify the others.

“Daoist Bai, I’ve looked at the map. The route through Jianmen Pass is the longest. Why do we need to take it?” questioned Shen Luo.

“According to intelligence from Hua Sheng Temple, currently, all parts of the Great Tang are occupied by demons. Although there are many routes to Chang’an, the only one that is still relatively safe is through Jianmen Pass.” explained Bai Xiaoyun.

“I see.” Shen Luo nodded slowly.

The carriage turned towards the northwest road, its wheels rolling forward.

As Shen Luo and Bai Xiaoyun continued their idle chatter about various affairs, numerous thoughts turned within their hearts. Shen Luo was trying to figure out how to discreetly ask about some events that had occurred in the past thousand years without arousing Bai Xiaoyun’s suspicion. This was to help him make some preparations when he returned to reality.

Just then, the sound of bells could be heard coming from a fork in the road ahead, indicating another group of refugees.

Shen Luo looked up. This group had as many people as theirs, over a hundred. The clothes they wore varied in color and style, seeming to be made up of seven or eight different families.
