"That's how things are.

After the rest of the caravan returned, A Zao and A Song reported everything that happened at the inn to the leader of the caravan, Luo Dang, without omitting any details.

Upon hearing this, Luo Dang was shocked: 'I never expected that there would be such hidden talents in Yongzhou City... But your response was appropriate. It's better to make friends with such experts than to make enemies.'

'Boss, he won't pose a threat to us...'

Luo Dang waved his hand: 'You haven't been practicing for long with the help of the power of the Yellow Sky, so it's understandable that you haven't grasped many things in the cultivation world. From your description, this person is highly skilled and versatile. Even if he is not a disciple of a major sect, he is one of the few wandering cultivators with considerable strength. His character is also rare in the cultivation world.

The fact that he helped the innkeeper's family shows that he has a sense of chivalry. And the fact that he helped you clean up the aftermath shows that he is thorough in his actions. His willingness to stay in the inn until we finish our business is also a gesture of goodwill.

Although I believe that there are personal factors involved, such as evading enemies or making a breakthrough in seclusion, it is certain that it won't interfere with what we need to do. There's no need to worry too much.'

A Zao thought for a moment and realized that it made sense. If they really wanted to hinder their 'big plan,' all they needed to do was shout outside the inn when the constables were causing trouble. There was no need to wait for a specific opportunity.

After exchanging a glance with A Song, they both felt relieved."

"The most important thing now is the task we have to do. Let's just pretend that the strangers disguising themselves as itinerant merchants don't exist. Take advantage of the time we have and focus on cultivating. The more effort we put in, the higher the success rate of our mission will be. Everyone, work hard!"

After analyzing Chu Shen's situation, Luo Dang sincerely spoke to Ah Zao and the others.

Everyone bowed and said, "We dare not disobey!"

After that, each person returned to their rooms. Except for the guards on both sides, they all took out a roll of yellow silk and began to contemplate after opening it.

Luo Dang did the same. He hung the colorful and mysterious yellow silk on the wall and quickly entered a state of meditation under the flickering yellow light in the painting.

A faint connection was seen between the yellow light and a trace of earthy yellow dust on his forehead.

With Luo Dang's breath, this trace of dust flickered and fluctuated, expanding and contracting as if it had a mysterious connection.

The connection between the other people in the rooms and the painting was similar.

With the perception of many people, the yellow light in the painting seemed to be expanding faintly. It seemed to be struggling to devour the surrounding colors, trying to spread its own color to more parts of the painting.

If one looked closely, they would notice that besides the yellow, the other color blocks on the painting were also in a state of conflict, devouring, invading, and struggling against each other. Because there were too many color blocks, the entire painting presented a strange mixture of colors.

And if one looked even closer, they would discover that amidst the disorderly color blocks, there was a certain mysterious pattern. If these color blocks were carefully removed, the entire picture on the yellow silk was actually a dragon pattern. However, at present, this dragon pattern was in a chaotic state, and the original appearance was no longer discernible. It was even undergoing a bizarre transformation amidst the colorful chaos.

On Chu Shen's side, he was also cultivating.

With a series of conflicts, escapes, and confrontations, his strength continued to be honed. He was even surprised to find that the "False Pill" was producing a strange Integrated Union absorption reaction with him.

Not only did it greatly improve the efficiency of his cultivation, making progress by leaps and bounds, but it also had a magical effect on the skill imprint of "Returning Ten Thousand Swords to the Sect," elevating its quality to a higher level.

Perhaps, this is the true function of the "False Pill." In the past, his cultivation was too comfortable, which kept its true power hidden and untriggered.

This feeling is exhilarating, as if a master much higher than himself is imparting skills to him, giving him a sense of rapid progress... Exciting!

So he is willing to stay in the Ping'an Inn for a few days and fully experience this extraordinary opportunity.

Well, this can also be considered a kind of opportunity.

He can feel that with the blessing of the "False Pill," the day when he condenses a true Law Manifestation is not far away.

At the same time, the family of the innkeeper at the Ping'an Inn... actually, it's just her and her bedridden husband, trembling and shedding tears as they look at each other.

Everything that happened today has terrified the couple.

Whether it was the official or non-official constables, or Chu Shen and A Zao who killed the constables, they all made them feel afraid.

"Husband, what should we do?" the innkeeper asked her husband in a soft and weak voice.

It's not that they have forgotten the gratitude towards Chu Shen and A Zao for saving their family, but it's an instinctive fear and distrust towards those who possess great power.

Years of life experience have taught the couple that those who possess great power and authority are fickle. They may be smiling and friendly one moment, but the next moment they could be furious and act as they please. As humble and powerless ordinary people, they have no right to demand attention to their own rights or to restrain the behavior of these powerful individuals.

So, even though Chu Shen and Ah Zao and the others saved their family, they were still very afraid - they could save them, but they could also choose to kill their whole family at any time.

Moreover, there have always been many terrifying rumors circulating among the common people, especially those rumors that play with human nature, which make ordinary people extremely distrustful of those who have power and authority.

There are just too many instances of saving someone first and then playing with their lives, so many things even happen right around people, not just rumors!

How can the common people, like insignificant grass and chaff, afford to trust those high and mighty figures?

The bedridden shopkeeper sighed, "Juan Niang, things have come to this point, let's leave it to fate. If something unexpected really happens, don't worry about me, just protect the child. If we can't even protect the child... then do your best to protect yourself, even if it's hard and difficult, we still have to survive!"

As he spoke, tears (Zhao Nuo Hao) were already streaming down.

This is how the world is, whether you can survive or how to survive, it can only be left to fate.

Upon hearing this, Juan Niang also had tears streaming down, but she dared not cry out loud, only sobbing quietly with her head buried in her husband's arms.

In the yamen of Yongzhou City, it was chaotic at this moment, and it hadn't calmed down even late at night.

It was reported that Duke Deng was about to arrive in Yongzhou and was preparing to temporarily station there to coordinate various parties and continue the hunt for the fugitives.

The officials and staff in Yongzhou dared not be negligent and could only work tirelessly to make preparations in all aspects.

At this time, someone reported that several yamen runners had been missing all day and their whereabouts were unknown. Apart from attracting a round of curses, no one could have imagined that someone would dare to kill these people in the city and destroy the evidence. They simply thought that these lazy people had found another place to slack off, and for a while, there was no ripple at all.

When the yamen discovered that the disappearance of those yamen runners was a bit unusual, Duke Deng's procession was already about to arrive in Tianyongzhou City...
