Chapter 240: Chapter 123: Flowing Water in the Pitcher, Zhongzhou Lin Family!_2
"We can just rest there."
"Oh, alright, Senior Brother." Mao Ruxue nodded.
She didn’t understand why Chen Chang’an suddenly asked, but since it was okay, they continued to move forward.
Soon the group arrived above the border of Zhongzhou City, where there is a large range of mountains connecting the city to the outside world.
In this mountain range, numerous demonic creatures roamed freely and people were reluctant to venture here unless necessary.
Even for the flying boats passing above, unless there was a great Divine Skills practitioner applying Dao to suppress, they wouldn’t have an easy voyage.
Right now, the flying boat of Chen Chang’an and his group was passing above this place.
Hum~!
Upon arriving here, a surge of righteous Qi suddenly rose from Chen Chang’an, enveloping the entire flying boat.
"Steer~!"
Meanwhile, Mao Ruxue and Li Zhiwan were in charge of controlling the direction.
It was not an easy task for them to ward off such level of Demonic Qi.
Having done all this, Chen Chang’an withdrew, leaving the two women to call him when needed.
"Senior brother, Senior brother, you should take a look. It seems something is going on down there,"
Not long after returning to his room, Chen Chang’an heard Mao Ruxue calling him from outside.
"What is it, Junior sister?" Chen Chang’an walked out and asked.
"Senior brother, it seems something is happening down there." Mao Ruxue guided Chen Chang’an to the edge of the flying boat and pointed downwards.
Chen Chang’an instantly saw what Mao Ruxue was referring to.
There was a caravan being surrounded by demonic creatures in the village down there.
"Senior brother, should we intervene?" Mao Ruxue asked.
As Mao Ruxue asked, Li Zhiwan also came over and looked at Chen Chang’an with worried and anxious eyes.
Chen Chang’an did not immediately respond. He studied the caravan below closely.
Upon finding that the caravan’s Qi was pure, he nodded and said:
"Let’s go down and have a look."
The pure Qi indicated that they were not evil.
Since they were not evil, it would be okay to lend them a helping hand in times of difficulty.
"Yes, Senior brother."
"Yes, Uncle."
Mao Ruxue and Li Zhiwan quickly nodded in relief.
Cultivators should promote good, fight evil, and protect the weak.
If they were to ignore this situation, their Dao hearts would be unsettled in the future.
Meanwhile, below in the range of mountains,
The situation of the caravan was extremely dire, surrounded by countless demonic creatures.
They had already initiated their attack, clashing intensely with the house servants and guards.
"Miss, we are surrounded by demonic creatures, we will cover you, escape quickly."
Inside the surrounded caravan, there was an exquisite carriage.
A flag hung high on the carriage, the character for ’Lin’ written boldly across it.
At this moment, a worried elderly man, who looked to be a housekeeper, rushed up to the carriage, speaking urgently to a beautifully gentle woman who was peeking out of the curtains.
The elderly housekeeper’s face was filled with sorrow.
Currently, more than half of their house servants and guards had already been heavily wounded or killed.
Even the ones who hadn’t died yet had mostly lost their will to fight.
If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they all perished at the hands (or in the mouths) of the demonic creatures.
He came over to remind the woman, hoping that there might still be a way for her to break out.
"Uncle Xiang, I..."
Seeing this, Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but feel despair rise in her heart.
After a tough bargaining, her family had finally won this deal and the last thing they expected was to be ambushed by such a terrifying calamity on the return journey.
Not only were they on the verge of losing their goods, but it now seemed they might have to pay with their lives as well.
Was this the end of the Lin Clan?
"Miss, don’t hesitate anymore, you and Cui Er run away, we’ll cover you."
As Lin Qingxue fell into despair, the old housekeeper spoke again.
He then turned and charged towards the demonic creatures that were devouring their guards and house servants, cursing as he went.
"Damn it, we had already scouted this route for safety before we left, why did you beasts set your sights on us?"
The housekeeper cursed angrily as he fought.
"Miss, we should go quickly, or it will be too late."
After the housekeeper left, the servant-girl Cui Er urged Lin Qingxue anxiously.
"Cui Er, we can’t escape," Lin Qingxue turned to look at Cui Er, shaking her head as she spoke.
"What? Miss?" Cui Er didn’t understand Lin Qingxue’s words.
"Roar~!"
However, before she could react, they suddenly heard a terrifying roar echo next to their ears.
Following that, a powerful shockwave assailed them.
Boom~!
The next moment, their carriage was instantly blown to pieces.
A terrifying demonic creature had its eyes on them.
It was a person-high demonic creature, its body entirely black, surrounded by boundless demonic Qi.
The demonic creature stared at Lin Qingxue and Cui Er, baring its teeth and drooling.
There was no doubt that it wanted to devour them!
Roar~!
The creature didn’t give them any time to think further and lunged towards them the next moment.
"Ah~!"
Seeing the Demon Dog lunging towards them, Lin Qingxue and Cui Er screamed.
