Hearing this, everyone sighed quietly. Morale had already fallen to the bottom. No one spoke for a while and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
"In that case, we might as well go our separate ways. With so many people gathered together, we will appear too big and will easily attract the attention of demons." The bearded man who had been following Lu Yong glanced at Bai Xiaoyun and broke the silence.
A middle-aged man with prominent brow bones had a depressed look on his face. He had been lowering his head. Upon hearing this, he immediately said in dissatisfaction, "It's easy for you to say that. As cultivators, we can naturally disperse, but what about the common people?"
As the ancestor of a small clan in Jianye City, those following him are the last blood of his lineage. If everyone were to scatter, he would have no chance of protecting himself by himself, let alone bringing so many clansmen with him.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Chuan, now that things have come to this, don't blame me for speaking harshly. In the current situation, we are all in a difficult situation. If you still hope that everyone can protect your people, isn't that a bit too selfish?" Lu Yong said after hearing this.
"Senior Lu, if someone else said this, I would not be able to refute it, but since you said it, there are some things I have to say." Upon hearing this, Chen Chuan said with a flash of anger in his eyes that he tried his best to suppress.
Hearing this, Lu Yong frowned and squinted at him.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan's momentum suddenly weakened by another three points, but he still did not back down and continued:
"Everyone respected you as a senior and treated you with great respect and courtesy, hoping that you could protect them in times of crisis. You also promised this. But what did you do when you were inside Jianmen Pass?"
As soon as these words came out, many people around looked at Lu Yong. They were all from the many small families that followed him before. They had the same doubt in their hearts, why didn't Lu Yong come to the rescue when his people were attacked
"What do you mean by saying that? If it weren't for Senior Lu breaking down the city gate and allowing everyone to escape, our casualties would be even greater right now." The bearded man immediately retorted.
"You've received someone's kindness, but you don't know how to be grateful. Don't you feel ashamed?" Several people who had gathered with Lu Yong before also echoed.
Shen Yu, Bai Bi and the others couldn't help but curl their lips into a sarcastic smile.
They knew very well that if Shen Luo had not climbed up to the top of the city wall and broken the sword formation and lifted the magic circle restriction on the city wall, how could Lu Yong have broken open the city gate
"Isn't this the time to blame each other?" Bai Xiaoyun asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
"Senior Bai, we can't go through Jianmen Pass right now. We can't go straight through Wushan, right?" The bearded man hesitated.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoyun fell silent and said nothing.
"Senior Bai, you don't really want to take us into Wushan, do you?" asked an octogenarian.
"The situation in Wushan is complicated and there are indeed great risks, but it is our closest way to Chang'an." Bai Xiaoyun said with a sigh.
"I don't want to go to Wushan. I would rather return to Jianye and wait for death than enter Wushan." A cultivator from a small family in Jianye shook his head and said.
