"Damn the Dawei army, they're still so cunning."
"Yes, I thought we could catch them off guard this time, but we failed again. Damn it."
"Yes, many more brothers and sisters were injured this time."
"Oh dear, brother, is your relative also injured? Good heavens, why can't the bleeding be stopped? And you're covered in wounds too. Quickly take some healing medicine!"
Shushu and Lu Li retreated to the enemy's camp with the Da Chang army. The two were playing the roles of a pair of rogue cultivators. Shushu was the one who was injured and unconscious, and Lu Li carried him back.
Their plan was to use their injuries as an excuse to retreat back to the enemy camp first, and then find a way to leave.
They were just waiting to be questioned when someone noticed them.
So, Lu Li, who was still conscious, immediately put on his dramatic act. His face was full of worry as he hugged the sweet potato with heartache and said in a bitter tone, "I'm out of pills."
Most of the people here are independent cultivators, and naturally they are all short of money. Upon hearing this, everyone around paused, and finally, someone let out a long and helpless sigh.
The conversation, which had been filled with curses against the people of Daxu Realm, suddenly stopped. One of the somewhat thin male cultivators suddenly spoke up: "When do you think this battle will finally end?"
Upon hearing this, the entire space fell silent once more, and everyone stared at the sky in silence.
What the thin male cultivator wanted to know, what they didn't want to know as well?
The reason why Dachangjie and Daxujie have been fighting to the death for so many years is actually quite ridiculous: their leader coveted Daxujie and wanted to take it over for himself.
Unlike the Great Vault Realm, the Great Chang Realm is under an imperial system. Most of the resources in the Great Chang Realm are controlled by the royal Hong family, and they have the final say on resource allocation.
Below the royal family are the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families can control a small portion of the resources, but they generally listen to the royal family. The royal family also has the most experts.
Below the aristocratic families are the independent cultivators, who have very few resources at their disposal.
Moreover, whenever there's a need to take the blame, they're always the first ones pushed forward.
They had considered joining the royal family and aristocratic families, but the conditions for joining from outside the royal family and aristocratic families were not only harsh, but also involved suffering similar mistreatment as when they were independent cultivators.
To be honest, they were quite envious of the Great Vault Realm. At least they were developing in all aspects, and there weren't as many restrictions on independent cultivators. Independent cultivators also had room and opportunities to grow.
However, the people of the Great Chang Realm and the Great Wei Realm have different auras. Now that the two realms have been fighting for so many years, even if they wanted to sneak away and seek refuge in the other realm, they would have nowhere to go.
As for secretly running to the Great Enclosure, that's even more out of the question. Not to mention they don't have a shuttle boat, even if they were lucky enough to get one, they wouldn't know the location of the Great Enclosure.
Without a fixed location, they can only wander in the void.
If they're lucky, they might find a place to land; if they're unlucky, they might die in the void along with the shuttle once its energy runs out.
Moreover, can you guarantee that the place where they can land at will is better than the Great Chang Realm? And can it accept them?
It's important to know that many realms treat visitors from other worlds like prisoners.
They've struggled so hard to get to where they are today, and they cherish their lives more than anyone else, so how could they bear to die so easily?
Shushu and Luli were already well-informed about the affairs of the Great Chang Realm, and naturally understood the thoughts of this group of rogue cultivators.
Therefore, he remained silent, maintaining his sorrowful expression, protecting the 'unconscious' Shushu, and waited quietly.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before two columns of troops emerged from the city behind them.
Compared to the group of people who had just come off the battlefield, these two groups were much more glamorous, with neat and clean high-level robes and high-level weapons that looked extremely sharp.
These people looked at them as if they were ants, with arrogant expressions.
Lu Li felt displeased at being looked at like that, but he didn't show it on his face.
The leader on the other side also failed to notice anything amiss. He surveyed everyone in turn, and finally pointed to some of those he considered seriously injured: "You...you...you can come into the city with me."
Then, in a condescending tone, he said, "The magistrate is only allowing you to enter the city to recover because he sees you as someone who has served our dynasty and cannot bear to see you suffer. You must remember this kindness."
After saying that, he showed no intention of helping and turned to lead his two groups of men back.
Lu Li and Shushu were both on the list he pointed to. Seeing that a leader had gotten up, he hugged Shushu again and followed.
Soon, they entered the city safely. The moment they entered the city, both of them keenly sensed that something swept past the city gate.
They glanced discreetly at the square iron box in the center of the city gate, knowing that it was used to detect the presence of those entering. The two disciples kept quiet, tacitly understanding the situation.
Soon, they followed the group to a row of very simple tents.
The same arrogant man, who had just left, said, "Two people per room. Fighting is not allowed here. Anyone who violates this rule will be immediately expelled from the city." Then he left again.
Upon closer inspection, the spiritual energy inside was indeed denser than outside. Lu Li glanced at the people who had come in with him, nodded, and chose the nearest room, then went inside and activated the isolation array.
After entering, Lu Li carefully checked everything to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then carefully added another layer of protection before gently poking the cheek of the little potato in his arms.
