In a sense, Ji Changge failed Lin Chulan and made her feel very disappointed, but Lu Ping'an saved her several times.

It would not be surprising if she really transferred her feelings for Ji Changge to Lu Ping'an.

But Lu Ping'an only hoped that he was thinking too much about himself, and the reason why Lin Chulan treated him like that was only because he had the grace to save his life for Lin Chulan and Lin Shixiong, and there were no other factors.

Lu Ping'an didn't want to be affected by the love between men and women in the process of the Demon Sect.

The key is that he doesn't have that kind of idea about Lin Chulan, as long as he can maintain a normal friend relationship with Lin Chulan, he will be satisfied.

Of course, Lu Ping'an just thought about it casually, anyway, Lin Chulan didn't make a clear statement, even if he had a guess, he would only pretend not to know anything.

An hour later, Lin Shixiong and the others set off on time.

Their group was two teams before, and now they are also disguised as two caravans, and they are still led by Lin Shixiong and Yu Jingzhong respectively.

When they left the inn, they were still a little apprehensive.

But as they expected, there were still many caravans on the streets of Linzhou City that were planning to leave the city, and they were mixed in without the slightest abnormality.

However, the most important thing is the destruction of Miaole Palace, which has not been discovered for the time being, so naturally no one will come to search for the Demon Sect.

Soon, they smoothly left Linzhou City, and then headed for Dongyu Kingdom.

After leaving the city, their mood relaxed a little.

After all, the farther away from Linzhou City, the safer they became.

Lin Shixiong contacted the other two teams and learned that they had also left the city safely, and his heart became much more stable.

Lu Ping'an was still the same as when he came, sharing a carriage with Lin Shixiong and Lin Chulan.

Most of the time, they were resting and recuperating from their injuries, and only occasionally chatted a few words.

Along the way, their entire team still maintained a fairly low-key code of conduct, and was even more cautious than when they came, not entering the city if they could, and trying to avoid the crowd.

On the third day after leaving Linzhou City, they had no choice but to pass through a city, otherwise they would have to spend more time if they chose to take a detour.

It's a bit risky, but it's a small city, and no one should be able to find out that they're demonic monks.

After entering the city, they did not stop, but walked directly through it, which greatly avoided contact with outsiders.

And when passing by a small tea stall on the street, Lu Ping'an and others heard some small talk.

"Have you heard? The Demon Cult is back in the world!"

"Ah, didn't the Demon Cult have long since perished? Why did it suddenly appear again?"

"Who told you that they perished, they were just hiding and not being found. ”

"And how were they found out this time?"

"They came out on their own initiative, and just a few days ago, they slaughtered Miaole Palace in one fell swoop!"

"Miaole Palace, isn't that a branch of the top-level sect Phantom Music Workshop, the Demon Sect is really bold!"

"Nonsense, they are a Demon Sect, what bad thing do they dare not do? Thousands of monks in the Miaole Palace have all been killed, and the valuable things in it have also been swept away, and that large group of palaces has completely fallen into ruins! Moreover, when this incident was discovered, the people of the Demon Sect had long since disappeared, and they could only judge their identities from the demonic qi left there. ”

"The Demon Sect is really hateful! They are so careless of people's lives, it is simply a heinous crime! What are the forces of the Righteous Path Sect going to do with them?"

"Then it must be to find them out and kill them all, now the imperial courts of the four major powers and the forces of the major sects are already taking action, and they must be annihilated!"

"If the demon sect is not eliminated, people's hearts will be uneasy, I hope that the righteous path forces can eliminate harm for the people as soon as possible!"

Those who drank tea were chatting excitedly and full of righteous indignation, but they didn't know at all that a team of demons had just passed by them.

Lu Ping'an's carriage was not traveling fast in the city, and they were all good at hearing, so it was natural to hear those conversations.

But for them, this is expected, nothing surprising.

It's been a few days, and it's time for the outside world to discover the Miaole Palace.

And when the news spreads, it is normal for the people to hate and curse the Demon Cult.

The only thing to note is that since the righteous forces have already begun to act, they must be more cautious.

It's not just the people at the small tea stall who are talking about it, they can hear similar discussions in many places they pass by.

This is just a small city, and in those more prosperous cities, or among the Great Gate Sects, you can imagine how many people will discuss this matter.

There is no doubt that the destruction of the Miaole Palace and the reappearance of the Demon Sect will definitely cause an uproar in the Eastern Continent, and it can even be said that it is enough to shock the entire Eastern Continent and affect everyone.

Of course, the impact can be big or small.

The common people near Linzhou City, as well as the small families and small sects, could not help but be panicked, for fear that the Demon Sect would make more cold-blooded and ruthless moves next, such as slaughtering the city or something.

And people in other places, as well as those forces of the Great Gate Sect, will have a sense of crisis, but they will not feel panicked.

If you want to say that the biggest influence, it must be the Phantom Sound Workshop.

It was also a great shame for them that their strongest branch had been slaughtered and suffered great losses.

The people of the Illusion Sound Workshop are probably in extreme grief and anger now, and they can't wait to fight the Demon Sect to the death.

It didn't take long for Lu Ping'an and the others to come out of that small city and continue to move forward.

Lin Shixiong suddenly asked, "Ren Xiaoyou, how do you feel when you hear those people scolding the Demon Sect?"

Lu Ping'an said calmly: "I don't feel anything, I have never been surprised by people's opinions." ”

Lin Shixiong smiled and said, "That's good, after all, you have just joined the Demon Sect not long ago, I am worried that you will be affected by public opinion from the outside world, but fortunately, you don't care what others say." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Most people in the world are just like the clouds, and they don't know the truth at all, so their words don't mean anything at all in my opinion." ”

Lin Shixiong sighed and said, "It's a pity that we don't know what the truth is. ”

Lu Ping'an asked, "Altar Master, are you talking about the purpose of attacking Miaole Palace?"

Lin Shixiong said: "That's right, when I reported the situation to the main altar before, I asked tentatively, but the deputy sect leader still didn't tell me anything. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Maybe the time has not come." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "Maybe, I don't necessarily know the secrets of the general altar, I just feel that we have paid so much for that big war, but in the end we don't know the fundamental reason, sometimes I think about it, I will inevitably feel a little sad." ”

Lu Ping'an didn't know what to say, so he fell silent.

In fact, Lu Ping'an himself was also very curious, and he wanted to find out what the Demon Sect General Altar wanted to do.

In case he was planning some big conspiracy, he had to deal with it in advance.

But even Lin Shixiong, who is the owner of the altar, can't ask, and he has no way to know, so he can only take one step at a time and wait for things to develop.

In the next few days, whenever they passed through a city of a certain size, Lu Ping'an and the others would be extra careful, and this time they would rather take a detour than venture into the city.

After all, now even the imperial court and local governments have taken action, and when they enter and leave the city, they have set up checkpoints to check them, even if ordinary officials and monks can't find out their identities, but if something happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In short, to be on the safe side, they chose a safer route.

Except for one time when they were almost noticed by a passing group of cultivators, they were mostly safe and sound.

After more than ten days, they successfully returned to the altar.

As soon as they entered the small world, many people in the team cheered.

"It's finally back!"

"We're home safely, great!"

"I can finally rest in peace. ”

Although nothing happened on the road, they were always on alert, and most of them became nervous whenever they saw someone passing by.

It was only at this time that they really relaxed, and the sense of security brought to them by this small world made them feel relieved and feel extremely stable in their hearts.

Lin Chulan couldn't help but say: "I always wanted to go out for a break in before, but now I find that the feeling of being at home is so warm and comfortable." ”

Lin Shixiong said: "It's not entirely because of how good our altar is here, it's just that we are too dangerous outside, if the Demon Sect is strong enough, how can we be like this?"

Lin Chulan's expression changed slightly, and she said solemnly: "One day, we will be so strong that we are fearless!"

Lin Shixiong said: "Well, it's good if you can think like this, this time you went out, you have experienced a lot of things, and you must have gained a certain amount of growth, after you come back, you have to digest it well and figure out what you should do." ”

Lin Chulan nodded and said, "Dad, I will work hard to cultivate and become a strong person who can take charge of myself as soon as possible!"

Lin Shixiong said: "I believe in you and look forward to that day." ”

Lin Chulan said: "I also hope that one day I can surpass Brother Xiaodong and go out on missions in the future, and I no longer need him to protect me." ”

Lu Ping'an smiled: "That's the best." ”

On the way back, Lin Shixiong had already learned that Lin Chulan had changed his name to Lu Ping'an, so he didn't feel strange when he heard it at this time.

"It's not easy to surpass Ren Xiaoyou, even if you take him as your goal, you have to have a clear understanding, otherwise you will only fall into despair in the end. ”

Lin Shixiong did not blindly encourage Lin Chulan, but still gave her a reminder.

Lin Chulan said: "Of course I know this, but the more this is the case, the more challenging it is!"

After Lu Ping'an and the others returned, the other two teams, respectively in the evening of the same day and the afternoon of the next day, returned to the altar.

The two teams also went relatively smoothly during the trip, and encountered some minor troubles, but there were no big accidents, how many people were there when they left Linzhou City, and how many people came back now.

For them, it is only now that the whole task has really been completed.

All the surviving monks retreated safely back into the altar, bringing this operation to an end.
