Xu Chuan was also surprised to see He Chen's script.
Such a talented person actually had a golden and a purple destiny.
One could only say that the world is vast and full of wonders.
"Brother Xu, what are you thinking about?" He Chen asked softly, seeing Xu Chuan stunned.
"It's nothing, just some small matters," Xu Chuan replied, shaking his head, not telling He Chen what the system had detected.
It would be useless to tell him these things, and it might even backfire.
No one would be calm if they knew they were about to face a life-and-death crisis.
Even Xu Chuan was no exception.
Seeing that Xu Chuan was unwilling to say more, He Chen did not press further.
Just then, the caravan was about to move, and the steward came to remind Xu Chuan to check his luggage.
"Brother He, why don't you come up and join me?" Xu Chuan invited He Chen.
It was a bit boring to be alone in such a large carriage.
Coincidentally, Xu Chuan also wanted to see how He Chen would counter the demon race's celestial demons.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!"
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's invitation, He Chen's eyes lit up, and he got into the carriage, thanking him.
Why walk when there's a carriage? Isn't that foolish?
"It's nothing!" Xu Chuan said indifferently.
After everyone in the caravan had packed up, the long convoy began to move.
Looking down from the sky, it resembled a long dragon.
Such an obvious target, it was no wonder they were targeted by demons.
After all, demons loved to devour human cultivators, especially the celestial demons!
After devouring humans, the celestial demons would trap their souls in a special space within their bodies, not refining them immediately.
They would extract all sorts of emotions from the human souls before devouring them, which was extremely vicious.
These were all learned by Xu Chuan from the records of the Holy Land.
Ever since he first encountered demons in the trial tower, Xu Chuan had been intentionally or unintentionally collecting information about them.
He had a premonition that the demon race would definitely return.
Xu Chuan had seen this in the demon realm, and now he saw it again from He Chen, further confirming his guess.
...
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
In these five days, the caravan had traveled less than ten thousand miles.
If Xu Chuan had traveled this distance himself, it would have taken him only half a day.
But there were mortals in the caravan, which was why it was so slow.
However, according to the steward, even so, they had already passed more than half of the journey.
Along the way, they encountered no less than five waves of robbers, and were also frequently attacked by demonic beasts.
These dangers were resolved by the guards in the caravan, and everyone in the caravan remained unharmed.
"Every journey to Lingxiao City is fraught with difficulties!" He Chen could not help but sigh.
He had traveled from the border of the Western Regions to Lingxiao City in the Southern Region many times, always mixing at the back of the group. He had encountered many dangers, and on several occasions, he had narrowly escaped death, but by chance, he was saved.
Those with bad luck would have long since died on the way.
"Listening to you, have you traveled this road many times?" Xu Chuan turned and asked.
"Yes," He Chen nodded. "I've wanted to join the Lingxiao Sect since I was ten, but I've always failed. Counting it, this is the eighth time!"
Saying this, He Chen appeared somewhat dejected, but soon his eyes lit up. "This time, I will definitely join the Lingxiao Sect and become a powerful martial artist!"
Anyone who had been rejected seven or eight times would probably have given up long ago, but only He Chen persisted, yet heaven seemed unwilling to grant his wish.
Xu Chuan did not know how to comment, but he still comforted him, "I believe you will succeed this time!"
With such a wish, Xu Chuan could not bear to shatter it.
The two chatted intermittently as the caravan slowly advanced. When they reached a valley, the caravan stopped to rest and eat.
He Chen also took out the dried food he carried with him.
Seeing that Xu Chuan had not brought any food, he divided half of his dried food with Xu Chuan.
"I saw that Brother Xu did not bring any dried food, so I assume you left in a hurry. If you don't mind, please eat mine."
He was not sure if Xu Chuan would eat it, after all, a person who could spend a large sum of primal stones to arrange a carriage with the steward must have eaten delicacies every day and probably wouldn't think much of his dried food.
However, Xu Chuan did not disappoint his good intentions. Even though he had already reached the stage of not needing to eat anything, he still smiled and took the dried food from He Chen, "Thank you, I'm hungry too."
With that, he took big bites of the dried food.
However, just as everyone in the caravan was eating, the valley, which had been sunny moments ago, was suddenly enveloped in black mist, shrouding the entire valley.
Faced with such a change, the mortals in the caravan began to panic, and the steward also ordered the guards to check their surroundings carefully.
They had never seen such a change and only thought that a powerful demonic beast was attacking.
But in reality, only Xu Chuan knew that this was the precursor to the arrival of demons.
Xu Chuan detected familiar demonic energy from the black mist.
Having dealt with demons so many times, he was very familiar with this aura.
"They're here!" Xu Chuan said faintly.
"What?"
He Chen turned his head and looked at Xu Chuan in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about.
The appearance of the black mist also made him a little nervous, so he was extremely sensitive to the changes around him.
However, Xu Chuan did not answer him, his eyes fixed on the sky not far away.
He had already sensed the arrival of the demons, which should be the celestial demons in He Chen's script, belonging to the celestial demon clan among the demon race.
Their specialty was to confuse people's minds, pull them into illusions, and then devour their flesh and souls.
The strength of this celestial demon was comparable to that of an eighth-level Reincarnation Realm expert.
If Xu Chuan were not here, everyone in the valley today, except for He Chen, would probably not have survived.
"Heh heh, what delicious human flesh, what wonderful souls!"
"I didn't expect to have such a harvest the moment I came out!"
"Heaven is truly helping me!"
A figure condensed from black mist suddenly appeared in the sky covered by the black mist.
The moment he appeared, he let out an unpleasant laugh, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the caravan.
"Everyone, run quickly!"
"This is a demon!"
Among the caravan, there were still people who were knowledgeable. The moment the celestial demon appeared, they reacted and shouted at the group.
With this person's reminder, everyone instantly reacted.
"Run!"
Although they had never seen demons, they had heard of their fierce reputation.
Now that demons had appeared, they only had the thought of escaping.
The entire valley instantly descended into chaos!
"Brother Xu, let's escape quickly too!" He Chen said to Xu Chuan anxiously. The appearance of the demons was something no one had expected.
