Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 50: Brother, I didn't mistake you

The next day, Lao Hu still went out early to gather information.

Su Fan took out the ancient book that recorded the Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain and continued to flip through it.

After all, it had been a long time since the Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain had appeared. When he read this book before, he only treated it as an online novel.

Unexpectedly, he actually encountered it.

Unfortunately, the book only had a few simple descriptions about the Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain.

Su Fan flipped through it for a while but didn't find anything useful, so he had to put the book away.

Forget it, it's none of his business about the Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain.

He didn't want to get involved in these matters.

He couldn't wait any longer. If the boat didn't leave today, he would leave Luqu County overnight.

After all, this place was already on the edge of the True Demon Sect's influence. It should be fine to leave at night.

At this moment, Lao Hu came back from outside.

He walked into the house as if he had lost his soul, sat down with a sorrowful face.

"Yesterday, the county's chief catcher led a team and none of them came back..."

Su Fan didn't interrupt, poured a cup of tea and placed it next to Lao Hu.

"Are there people you know among them?"

Lao Hu nodded and said, "A brother I grew up with, he has two children at home, the younger one is only five years old."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip from the teacup and wiped his mouth.

"The county is recruiting young men. I have to go with them..."

"Lao Hu, I advise you not to go. It's better to stay out of this matter."

Hu Guanghai smiled bitterly and said, "I know, don't try to persuade me. This time, the Tian Shi from Qing Song Temple is leading the team and they will take the land route."

Su Fan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do this, I'll go with you."

Lao Hu was stunned, looked up at Su Fan, and then waved his hand.

"Brother, these past few days have been strange. Don't get involved in this mess. You and I are different. I have to go."

"Brother, I still want to go. I can at least help you when the time comes."

Lao Hu raised his head, looked at Su Fan for a while, and then patted his shoulder.

"Brother, I didn't mistake you..."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "I still need to find a few more people. Get ready, we'll leave at noon."

After Lao Hu left, Su Fan started to ponder.

He decided to go and take a look. If they encountered danger, he would try his best to protect Lao Hu and escape.

Lao Hu had taken care of him for the past few months, so he could help him before leaving.

Speaking of which, if they really encountered some evil demons from beyond the domain, there would be nothing they could do.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes focused, and he began to scan the ghost face tattoo on his arm with his divine sense.

He scanned it several times in a row but didn't find anything unusual.

Since leaving Heixuan City, he had been checking the ghost face tattoo every day.

They were already thousands of miles away in Liangzhou. That witch wouldn't chase after them for such a trivial matter, right?

Sometimes, Su Fan even felt that he was being too cautious.

Around noon, Lao Hu brought Su Fan to have a meal in the city.

Since the appearance of the monsters in the city, the once bustling Luqu County had become desolate.

Most of the shops along the street were closed, and there were few people walking on the streets.

The whole county was gloomy.

The two of them had a simple meal and then went to the county government together.

By this time, the entrance of the county government was already crowded with people.

A dozen catchers stood around several carriages, and dozens of young men and their families came to bid farewell.

When the crowd saw Lao Hu, they greeted him one after another.

A strong man walked over and bowed to Lao Hu.

"Big brother, the two horses you wanted have been prepared. I personally picked them for you."

Lao Hu nodded and said, "What about Dahai and the others?"

"They were held back by their families. They'll be here soon, haha..."

Su Fan didn't join them but found a place where no one paid attention to him.

Lao Hu is quite prestigious in the county town, with several young men following behind him, giving off the air of big brothers in the martial world.

At this moment, several old gentlemen from the county came out.

They respectfully sent the celestial master of the county town onto the carriage and exchanged pleasantries with the recruited young men.

"Let's go..."

With a loud shout from the leading constable, dozens of young men mounted their horses one after another and followed behind the convoy, heading out of the city.

Su Fan was riding on a horse, feeling uncomfortable all over. He had never ridden a horse in his two lifetimes.

Fortunately, this horse was relatively docile and didn't throw him off.

After leaving Luqu County, the group of dozens of people slowly made their way along the Qingcang River.

Because the carriage was moving slowly, it was estimated that they wouldn't arrive at Sishui Ferry until noon the next day.

"There's something strange about this. According to the people at the dock, no boats have come from the north for several days."

"I've been to Sishui Ferry before. There have always been incidents there. Could it be because of demons?"

"No worries, we have the celestial master from Qing Song Temple with us. What are we afraid of demons for?"

"That's right, even if there are demons, with so many of us, we dare them to come."

"You're just bragging. On the day the demon appeared in the city, why didn't I see you go up?"

"I was out of the city that day. If I were there, I would have chopped the demon to death with one stroke."

Su Fan followed behind Hu Guanghai, listening to the conversations of the young men around him.

When he heard that young man bragging, Su Fan almost burst out laughing.

If there really were demons from beyond the realm, none of these people would be able to escape. They would all die.

The sun set in the west, and the evening sun was blood-red.

At the far end of the sky, the bright red sun slowly sank, dyeing the entire horizon blood-red.

The sky gradually darkened, and the group stopped by the river to find a place to camp.

Everyone had been on the road for a day and was very tired.

After eating a bite of food, they each went to sleep.

Su Fan sat on the ground beside the bonfire.

He completely released his divine sense, seeing everything within dozens of zhang in his surroundings, not even letting the underground insects escape his gaze.

He glanced at the distant carriage where the celestial master was staying, but didn't detect his divine sense.

At this moment, Hu Guanghai walked over and sat beside him.

"Brother, you should go to sleep. I'll keep watch for the first half of the night..."

Su Fan shook his head and said, "Old brother, I can't sleep anyway. Let's not stay up together..."

Lao Hu smiled and took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, handing it to Su Fan.

"It's cold at night. Have a sip to warm up..."

At midnight, everything was quiet around.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, took a sip of wine, and the spicy liquor felt like fire, making his throat ache.

It's strong...

Much better than the spirit wine of ten spiritual stones. Before leaving the mortal world, he should buy some good wine from the mundane world.

Suddenly, Su Fan turned his head and looked at a distant forest.

He patted his storage bag, summoned the "Evil Ghost Banner," and released Sister Sadako.

Activating the "Concealment Technique," he slapped a "Invisibility and Concealment Talisman" on himself, and his figure disappeared into the pitch-black night.

Two figures dressed in black robes were standing in the forest, coldly watching the distant camp.

"Hehe... all young men. Once we capture them, it should be enough..."

"Let's kill the celestial master in the carriage first, and then deal with these mortals."

"Nonsense, a Qi Refining First Layer is worthy of being called a celestial master..."

"Alright, we have to get back before dawn. Let's get started..."

Just as the two were about to step out of the forest, a figure suddenly appeared before them.

They were almost scared to death. They were about to take out their talismans, but their necks were grabbed by the other party, and their bodies left the ground.

Su Fan coldly looked at them and exerted force with his left hand.

"Crack..."

He snapped the neck of the person on the left, and his head tilted, not knowing anything anymore.

"Elder, spare... spare our lives... I..."
