"Let me tell you, this time the younger generation of Demonic Dao cultivators, both their Holy Son and Holy Daughter, went, as did the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the righteous sects. They originally intended to take the opportunity to kill these two, but when they arrived, the two Demonic Dao Holy Son and Holy Daughter had already disappeared."
At this point, he couldn't help but shake his head. "It's such a pity. If those two were still alive, given the current situation, they definitely wouldn't have been able to escape."
The surrounding cultivators were already in an uproar.
I didn't expect that both the Holy Son and Holy Daughter would go, and we almost ran into each other.
If we were to encounter this again, it seems likely that one side would indeed perish.
Unfortunately, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Demonic Dao were quite clever and ran away.
To witness such a battle between the younger generation would be truly worthwhile.
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but Su Mu listened without offering any opinion.
Seeing these people so eager for him to compete with the righteous holy son, he couldn't help but shake his head.
If he could use the Dao Lotus without anyone noticing, he'd probably be quite willing to fight his opponent.
As for competing with the opponent under such circumstances, Su Mu felt he would be foolish to do such a thing.
It was completely unnecessary.
However, according to the news, the Demonic Dao suffered quite severe losses this time, but the exact extent of the losses is unknown.
Forget it, I'd better keep a low profile for now and focus on my cultivation.
Just as Su Mu was thinking about this, the communication talisman that Devil Lord Ye had given him lit up.
Seeing this, Su Mu glanced around and, finding no one paying attention to him, immediately found a private room and set up a soundproof array.
Where are you? Are you injured?
Devil Lord Ye inquired through the communication talisman.
Judging from the other person's voice, it seemed as if they were injured, their breathing was somewhat weak.
Su Mu's expression turned strange. This Devil Lord Ye was also injured?
"I am unharmed; I left long ago before the righteous sects arrived."
Su Mu thought for a moment and then honestly replied.
A sense of unease crept into his heart. Could it be that Ancestor Litian was still alive and had revealed his disguise to the others?
"It's good that you're alright. Just keep a low profile for a while, lest you attract the attention of righteous cultivators."
Upon hearing this, Devil Lord Ye immediately offered a word of advice.
Su Mu raised an eyebrow. Judging from the tone, it didn't seem like the person had discovered his disguise. Had the Ancestor Litian truly perished?
"I've heard that many of our predecessors have perished. I wonder how many have fallen?"
Su Mu began to inquire about the news.
We haven't been able to get much specific information about that guy outside. If we want to know the details, we'll have to ask these seniors.
"Many of our Demonic Dao cultivators have perished, a total of twenty-three, and even more juniors have fallen. Fortunately, our ancestor's physical body has already been taken away. Once his body has been refined, this loss will be insignificant."
They probably felt that Su Mu was one of their own, after all, he was a Holy Son, even though he hadn't aligned himself with any sect.
So once this news is out, that's that.
Besides, this news doesn't really need to be kept secret; eventually, some information will leak out.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately grasped the general idea.
Most importantly, the ancestor was taken away by the other party.
It's estimated that the righteous side will also be extremely furious about this.
Otherwise, Devil Lord Ye wouldn't have told him to be careful afterwards.
Upon thinking about it, Su Mu immediately understood.
Devil Lord Ye was probably seriously injured. After speaking with Su Mu, he fell silent, presumably to heal his wounds.
Su Mu pondered for a moment, then decided it was best not to make any further moves in the near future.
I need to stop doing things like robbery, which I used to really enjoy.
After leaving the private room, Su Mu held the Dao Scripture in his hand, deciding that he should first study and comprehend Dao Scripture.
Although Su Mu disliked the cultivators of the Haotian Realm quite a bit, the Haotian Realm still had many beautiful landscapes.
Su Mu decided that he should study the Daoist Dao Scripture while also exploring these mountains and rivers, which should be beneficial to his understanding of the Dao Scripture.
With that thought in mind, Su Mu immediately made a decision.
Su Mu left the restaurant and then arrived at the city gate, where groups of merchants were calling out their wares.
Some were inviting cultivators to travel together, while other caravans also wanted to travel together.
These are all small caravans; they can't afford flying Law Treasure, and using Teleportation Array would consume too many Spirit Stone.
Therefore, horse-drawn carriages and other similar vehicles were used.
This way, although the risks increase considerably, the potential earnings are also greater, leaving a large sum of Spirit Stone.
"Senior, would you be willing to escort us along the way? We are certain the Spirit Stone will not disappoint you!"
Just as Su Mu was about to leave after seeing this, a short shopkeeper came out from the caravan and bowed to Su Mu.
He was only a first-level Qi Refining cultivator and couldn't see through Su Mu's cultivation level, assuming that Su Mu was Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Generally speaking, Foundation Establishment cultivators will not refuse such requests.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"Good."
The innkeeper was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Thank you, senior. Please come and sit in the carriage at the front."
There were several carriages ahead, all reserved for seniors like Su Mu.
This is also out of respect for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Su Mu strode over, selected a carriage, and sat down directly.
Holding the Dao Scripture in his hand, he didn't ask where the other person was going, nor did Su Mu think about where he wanted to go; anywhere was fine.
Just enjoy the scenery along the way.
Su Mu stayed in the carriage for a while, and then the caravan slowly set off.
Su Mu glanced around and saw that besides him, there were two other Foundation Establishment cultivators in the caravan. One seemed to be a member of the caravan, while the other appeared to have been invited.
The caravan consisted of nearly twenty wagons, making it appear quite large.
Even with just this one caravan, a considerable number of people were supported.
Su Mu looked somewhat surprised. The immortal merchants he had seen before all used flying Law Treasure, Storage Bag, and the like.
But the lower classes are incomparable to them, and they use such rudimentary means of transportation.
Once outside the city, the caravan swayed and drove slowly forward.
The other two Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him originally wanted to come over and greet Su Mu, but Su Mu was engrossed in the Dao Scripture and ignored them.
Seeing this, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators wisely stopped disturbing Su Mu.
Some cultivators are just eccentric and unwilling to interact with others, and they are used to such cultivators.
