"Senior Lu, I'll go with you." The bearded man was the first to respond.
"Let's go too." As expected, the several wandering cultivators from before also responded.
For a moment, the faces of everyone present turned ugly, and many people even cast blaming and angry eyes at Shen Luo.
"Senior Lu, fellow Taoists, please don't say angry words." The octogenarian smiled wryly, trying to act as a peacemaker.
How could he know that these people had already decided to leave.
Lu Yong just glanced at him and had no intention of saying anything to ease the situation.
At this time, Bai Xiaoyun suddenly took a step forward, and Lu Yong and others subconsciously took a step back.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Since you all want to leave, we cannot force you to stay. Please leave." Bai Xiaoyun said with a slightly condensed look.
As he spoke, an invisible aura emanated, causing the hearts of all the cultivators present to beat wildly.
His attitude was consistent with Shen Luo's, and even tougher, and he directly ordered them to leave.
Many cultivators who originally had other thoughts did not dare to abandon their relatives and follow Lu Yong and the others because of Shen Luo's previous words. But when they saw Bai Xiaoyun's appearance, they immediately put away all the inappropriate thoughts they had.
After all, a Mahayana cultivator is more reliable than a Out-of-Body cultivator.
Lu Yong looked around and saw that except for the few people who had followed him before, no one else was standing in line to follow him. He cursed in his heart, but could only say respectfully: "Then I will take my leave."
After saying that, he clasped his fists slightly, then turned around and left with those people.
Shen Luo watched the backs of the people leaving, and he didn't feel any loss. He thought to himself: "If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences."
"They...really left, so what should we do next?" Chen Chuan asked after those people walked away.
"After I recuperate for a few days and recover from my injuries, I will sneak into Wushan alone and find a passable path." Bai Xiaoyun said after pondering for a moment.
"There are quite a few big monsters and giant demons in Wushan. It's too risky for you to sneak in alone." Shen Luo frowned immediately after hearing this.
"Yes, this move is too risky, inappropriate, inappropriate..." The others also tried to dissuade him.
"Other than this, I'm afraid there is no other way." Bai Xiaoyun murmured.
"I do have another idea. You can try it." Shen Luo had already thought about it and said.
"What method?" everyone asked hurriedly.
"How about going all the way east, bypassing the entire Wushan Mountains, then passing through Zhenhai Pass and then going northwest back to Chang'an?" Shen Luo said.
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Although this is a long detour... it seems to be much safer." One person murmured.
"We haven't received any news about the fall of Zhenhai Pass yet..." Chen Chuan said hesitantly with a look of hesitation on his face.
"Now that communication between different places has been cut off, who knows whether there has been a breakthrough over there. If we rush over rashly, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time." Another person also said worriedly.
"Actually, it's okay about this. What you don't know is that the geology of Zhenhaiguan is special. There are many underground cave passages eroded by underground rivers flowing into the sea. We can sneak through the underground waterways at that time." Shen Luo explained.
