Chapter 3815

Luowei City was one of the main routes to the Sacred Mountain, so the city was very lively. There were many caravans coming and going, so it was not strange to bump into one or two along the way.

Apart from Luowei City, they had to pass by five other cities along the way before they could reach the Sacred Mountain. However, the five cities were very far apart from each other, so there were some small towns or inns in between.

Of course, there were also organisations like Kyara Mountain, and there were quite a few of them.

As a result, there were experts guarding the caravans along the way. Basically, every caravan would have at least one Soul Realm expert overseeing it. Moreover, there were many people in the caravan.

It was extremely rare to see someone like Zi Chen, who only had three carriages and no guards beside him.

The caravans they met along the way were filled with vigilance after the group of people arrived. They basically did not interact with them.

It was necessary to be on guard.

Moreover, they would definitely not allow outsiders to join them along the way.

This was because many things had happened on this path that was filled with opportunities and dangers. Some things were almost unimaginable, but they still happened.

There was once an extremely famous caravan that encountered an ambush along the way. There were still a few people left in the caravan, and they looked very pitiful. As a result, the caravan brought them along.

Who would have thought that those pitiful people were actually in disguise? After winning everyone's trust, they poisoned the caravan with a strange poison that reduced the caravan's guards' battle prowess to less than a tenth.

In the end, the caravan was massacred. All the guards in the caravan were killed, but the leader of the guards survived. The few people he kindly took in had their cultivations crippled, leaving them with only their lives.

It was said that it was to repay his kindness.

No one knew what happened to the leader of the guards because there were too many versions. However, from then on, there was an unwritten rule on this route. No more people were added to the caravan along the way. No matter how many blue crystal coins were offered, or how pitiful they looked, they were rejected.

Ou Li chuckled beside the bonfire, "Don't you think that guy is stupid? Can't he just take care of himself?

Why did he have to worry about other people? So what if he was kind enough to spare his life? Would he be able to live a peaceful life when he returned? "

Hearing this story, everyone fell into silence.

Ou Li told everyone this story after they were alerted by the caravan earlier in the day.

Zi Chen added a handful of firewood to the bonfire and said, "That wasn't kindness at all. It was pure malice."

They all looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen said, "The fact that the leader of the guards lost his cultivation is already a fate worse than death. After he returns, he still has to clean up the aftermath of his dead companions and be responsible for his employer. The best outcome for him is to go bankrupt."

"The so-called kindness doesn't exist at all. Those guys are using this method to humiliate him, to humiliate his kindness.

In other words, he wants him to live a life worse than death and live out the rest of his life in guilt. Maybe one day, he won't be able to hold on and will commit suicide. "

"That's right, that's what Old Tang said too."

Ou Li nodded and asked, "What about you?

If it were you, what would you have done? "

Zi Chen fell silent.

Ou Li then looked at the others. "What about you guys? If it was the leader of the guards, what would he have chosen?"

"Of course I wouldn't have saved him. He didn't even live well. How could he save others?"

Noah said directly without any hesitation.

This was very in line with his character. After all, he was once a leader, and the leader of a tribe.

Lan Hongyi thought for a moment and said, "You can let them follow the team and give them some food. They don't have to join the team."

Lan Gu Meng and Shan Ya gave similar answers.

Lan Rui shook his head and said, "I won't save them either. I won't kill more people just to save a few people. I won't do such a thing."

Ou Li looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen said, "It's not the leader of the guards' fault. It's the bad guys who took advantage of the leader of the guards. If it were me, I would definitely kill those bad guys."

Ou Li said, "So, your choice is to save people, right?"

"Don't have the heart to hurt others, but don't let your guard down. I won't let my guard down."

In fact, there was already a precedent for this. It happened to Yi Yuan. Zi Chen chose to help him, but he didn't really trust him.

This wasn't a profound question, nor was it a test. They were just chatting. Soon, everyone changed the topic.

Since the Luo family's forces were destroyed, those forces like Mount Garuda were cleared up. The traveling caravans felt much safer.

After traveling for five days, Zi Chen didn't encounter any other danger except for the passing caravans.

Half a month later, they came to a small town. This was a place for people to rest temporarily. The place wasn't big. There were three inns and some shops for business.

The town was surrounded by a very ordinary fence. There was no charge at the gate. People could enter and leave at will.

Ou Li directly drove the carriage into the small town. He planned to rest here for a while.

There were many people passing by, but most of them were teams of more than a hundred people. People like Zi Chen were rare, so many people looked at them strangely.

Ou Li arrived outside an inn. Noah and Lan Rui walked down, and the two of them entered first.

Soon, a waiter came out and drove the carriage to the backyard.

The inn wasn't small. The first and second floors were for eating, while the third floor and above were for people to stay.

As the group walked in, everyone's gazes immediately turned to look at them. After a quick glance at Zi Chen and the rest, their gazes landed on the three girls.

For a moment, the three of them became the focus of attention.

Noah pointed to the second floor and said, "There is a private room upstairs. Let's eat first."

Zi Chen nodded.

When they went upstairs, Noah whispered, "There are many people here. There are only three rooms left. I booked all of them."

After eating, Lan Rui went to inquire about some information. So far, there was no news about the opening of the Heavenly Mirror on the Holy Mountain. It could be seen that the Lan family's information was first-hand.

They only stayed in the inn for one night. The next day, the group continued on their journey.

Just as they walked down the stairs, they heard a piece of news. A caravan had been massacred. Men, women, old, and young were all killed. There was nothing left except for the bodies.

The diners downstairs were talking about it. At the same time, they were worried.

"It's the Blood Crow King. It must be the Blood Crow King. He's back. Only he has the strength to do so!"
