52 Sufferings
"We're finally here," Lu Zhen declared upon spotting the enormous wall in the distance. Seeing this, Lu Zhen couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief. He had been quite anxious about whether the creature, or whatever it was, behind him was still in pursuit.
However, it seemed that the creature had either given up the chase or couldn't locate them after Lu Zhen severed the string connection. Either way, Lu Zhen was relieved that they had avoided further trouble. Dealing with an unknown entity, especially one he had no knowledge about, had been far from pleasant.
"Let's pick up the pace," Lu Zhen urged as he quickened his stride while carrying Xia Mei. This chapter is updated by
Lu Zhen could hear Xia Mei's breathing, indicating that she was already awake. However, since she chose to remain silent for the time being, Lu Zhen decided not to speak either. He remained vigilant, ready to react if she made any sudden movements.
With Xia Mei securely bound by ropes and concealed with leaves, he felt confident that he could react swiftly if she made any sudden movements. And it was even better if she was so obedient. Lu Zhen increased his pace even faster.
Seeing the increased pace of Lu Zhen, Yu Bai also sped up.
The dim sun rays fell on Lu Zhen and Yu Bai. It was still winter; however, it wasn't that cold for Lu Zhen.
"Not bad. We reached here in one day," Lu Zhen mused to himself. After all, on foot, it would have taken approximately three days to just reach the city. However, since Lu Zhen and Yu Bai were going at their full speed, they took only a day to arrive.
Lu Zhen saw the long line of people all waiting to enter the city gate.
"Cough, cough... Mom, when will I get to eat?" A malnourished child weakly asked. She had barely any energy left and couldn't even cry, appearing to be close to death.
Thinking quickly, Lu Zhen said to Yu Bai, "Let's just jump."
He compressed his powerful muscles, generating an explosive surge of energy that coursed through his body and into the ground. Then, with a forceful push, he propelled himself into the air using his sheer strength.
Stunned by his young master's actions, Yu Bai realized that navigating through the crowd would be a lengthy process. He decided to follow Lu Zhen's lead and jumped, utilizing his qi to assist him.
"Mother, look up," a child exclaimed, her hungry eyes filled with curiosity.
The mother followed her daughter's gaze and saw people flying through the air. She immediately bowed, taking her daughter's head and bowing as well.
"I am sorry, Immortal, for looking up to you," the woman said, her face displaying nervousness and panic.
Others in the crowd also noticed the two individuals in the air and followed suit, bowing in fear.
Observing the crowd's worship for no apparent reason, Lu Zhen found it a bit strange. "Are the common people in this world ignorant of martial artists?" he wondered.
Ignoring the bowing crowd, Lu Zhen and Yu Bai landed directly in front of the city gate.
A resounding boom echoed as Lu Zhen touched down, and Yu Bai landed beside him. However, before they could take another step, a spear was pointed at them, and a self-righteous voice demanded, "Halt! Who are you, and what are you carrying?"
