"The demons I know are said to be transformed from other creatures. They may have been immortal cultivators of the human race, or powerful monsters, or even some powerful ghosts. But no matter who they were originally, once they are transformed into monsters, they will not only suddenly become extremely powerful, but also become cruel and bloodthirsty, and will even irrationally attack any other normal creatures that approach." Bai Xiaotian was silent for a moment, and reluctantly explained a few sentences.
"If that's the case, the harm caused by this monster is indeed far beyond the reach of demons and ghosts." Shen Luo couldn't help but click his tongue after hearing this.
"These are just ordinary monsters. It is said that some powerful monsters even have the terrifying ability to actively demonize other creatures. If they come out to cause trouble, the situation will only be worse." Bai Xiaotian said.
"Demons are so dangerous, but the world in the Tang Dynasty is still so peaceful. I guess the government and the immortal sects in the country have contributed a lot, right?" Shen Luo suddenly thought of Lu Huaming and asked subconsciously.
“As far as I know, I’m not quite sure how the imperial court responds. But in some important provincial capitals and cities, there are usually one or two exorcist families like the Bai family who fight against monsters in secret. It’s just that ordinary mortals, and even most low-level cultivators, can’t get in touch with them.” Bai Xiaotian said after thinking for a while.
"The exorcist family is so mysterious, I feel relieved about going to your Bai family. By the way, I have never heard you mention it before, where is your home?" Shen Luo let out a long sigh and asked suddenly.
"Didn't I tell you that my home is in Jianye?" Bai Xiaotian was a little confused when he heard this.
"When did you tell me? Although I have never been to Jianye, I know it is a long way from here. Even if you ride a fast horse and travel day and night without stopping, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to get there, right?" Shen Luo became worried again.
"That's not necessary. We can take the water route first, go down along the Bailian River, land in Jiangyu County, and then take a fast horse. We will arrive in ten days at most." Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said.
"That's good. I practice water magic. If there are more evil spirits chasing me along the way, I will not be completely unable to help." Shen Luo thought about it and nodded.
After the agreement, the two looked at the stars in the sky, identified the direction, and headed towards the Bailian River.
After they spent money to buy a fishing boat, they paddled downstream all the way to Jiangyu County.
To Shen Luo's surprise, Bai Xiaotian's boating skills were extremely advanced, far superior to his. The two of them took turns rowing the boat down the river. In just half a day, they had traveled sixty or seventy miles.
At this moment, Bai Xiaotian took over the boat. Shen Luo sat cross-legged in the cabin and began to practice magic with his eyes closed to recover the magic power he had consumed before.
Not long after, a "splashing" sound of water suddenly came from behind. It turned out to be a small white-sailed boat with boatmen rowing on both sides, which quickly caught up.
Shen Luo's ears moved, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. He opened his eyes and stood up.
As soon as he stood up, a gray figure rose into the air from the boat behind him and swooped forward like a vulture.
While the figure was still in the air, a dark purple light flew out of his hand and flew towards the fishing boat where Shen Luo and the other man were.
