Regarding the human tragedy that happened in front of him, although Lu Chen was a strong man in the virtual god realm, it was already too late to change.
In this war-torn world, the civilians living at the bottom are always the most miserable.
He sighed softly in his heart, then passed through Baiqi Town and continued walking to the west.
The sky was overcast, with no light in sight, and a desolate wind kept blowing on the road.
Soon, night fell.
The weather became a little colder, but it had no impact on Lu Chen at all.
After walking for about thirty or forty miles to the west, Chase Lu met a convoy at the foot of a hill.
There were four or five carriages in the convoy. Each carriage had a flag with the word "Yuan" on it, fluttering in the wind.
Dozens of people raised five or six bonfires at the foot of the mountain, gathered together in twos and threes, and talked in low voices, all with sad faces.
When someone noticed Lu Chen approaching, they immediately became alert.
"Who are you?" A tall man with a burly build, wearing blue cloth, and a furry face led a group of people, walked quickly out of the crowd holding a big knife, came to Lu Chen, and shouted solemnly.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "I, Lu Chen, was passing by here and saw that it was getting late and there was no place to stay for the time being. Could you please do me a favor?"
"Lu Chen, I've never heard of it, which family do you come from?" Seeing Lu Chen's handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, the bushy-bearded man must be a noble son of a certain family, he couldn't help but stare and shouted, with a rather fierce look.
Scary.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Lu is just a casual traveler, not a family son. Please don't get me wrong."
"Oh, that's it. Do you want to spend the night here?" The bearded man looked at Lu Chen up and down, and gradually let go of his caution.
Lu Chen nodded: "Exactly, I don't know if it's convenient."
Seeing that Lu Chen was alone, without any warrior aura, the thick-browed man thought for a moment and then said, "Well, since we are passing by, let's get closer."
"But we have nothing to entertain you."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's enough to have a simple meal."
"Okay, please." The bearded man put down his guard and invited Lu Chen to come to the motorcade.
Lu Chen went with him. When he walked over, he saw at first glance that there were many old, weak, women and children in the convoy, many of whom were injured, including those with missing arms and legs.
"Ah, it hurts so much, my hand."
"Sister, please bandage a little more lightly."
"Dad, my mother is here."
There were dozens of people sitting in the crowd, and the scene was quite chaotic.
Fortunately, there were people maintaining order, and there were no serious disturbances.
"Brother, have you been robbed by bandits?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
The bushy-bearded man thrust the long knife into the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Huh, if only the bandits were bandits. This wasn't done by those beasts from the Helian family."
"How do you say this?" When Lu Chen heard this, the doubts in his eyes became more and more intense.
The bushy-bearded man glanced at the injured old and weak women and children, his eyes were red, and there were faint tears. He pondered for a moment, and then explained: "To be honest, we are not ordinary caravans. In fact, all of us are from the Yuan family.
Family members."
"The reason why they were injured and have been living in exile since then is because not long ago, the Huangmu City controlled by our Yuan family was attacked by the Helian family's army."
"After the city was breached, it was immediately massacred wildly by the Helian family's troops. In just one night, the city was filled with blood and corpses littered the fields."
"Thousands of civilians took advantage of the war to flee their homes and families, leaving their homes and families behind."
"And our Yuan family was also encircled and suppressed by the Helian family. A large number of members of the family were beheaded in public, and a huge amount of money was looted."
"The head of the family had known that something like this would happen, so he divided the surviving clan members into three groups and took advantage of the chaos to escape from Araki City."
"The group of people you see now are the only remaining members of the Yuan family."
"While fleeing, I was chased and intercepted by the Helian family. I tried my best to break out of the siege, but many clan members still died in the pursuit."
"Why."
Lu Chen frowned and said, "The Helian family's army is too overbearing."
"Hmph, this Helian family is not only overbearing, it is simply barbaric. They do not hesitate to violate the covenant of peaceful coexistence of all races and openly provoke the major families." The thick-browed man cursed fiercely.
"I'm afraid this war is inevitable."
Lu Chen asked: "The land of Canglan is known as a hundred tribes competing for hegemony, is there no one to stop it?"
"Stop it, who can stop it? The Helian family has super strong men like Helian Sword Immortal sitting in charge. They have millions of soldiers and countless family elites. The lineup is unprecedentedly powerful. Who dares to make mistakes in front of such a powerful force."
"I'm afraid that as soon as he shows up, he will be wiped out by the Helian family's army." The thick-bearded man said with a bitter smile.
Lu Chen said: "So, it is a foregone conclusion that the Helian family will dominate the world?"
"That's not necessarily true. It is said that in order to resist the invasion of the Helian family's army, the major families in the Canglan land are preparing to rise up and form an alliance to jointly fight against the Helian family."
"I don't know if this is true or not," the bearded man said, clenching his fists.
Lu Chen looked surprised and said, "Such a thing actually happened?"
"Well, there is no way. Wherever the Helian family's army goes, they can attack and win every battle. If things continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before the Helian family unites the land of Canglan."
"When the nest is overturned, no eggs are left intact. If the whole world is unified by the Helian family, the good days of the major families will probably come to an end."
"This is a situation that no major family force wants to see." The bearded man sighed bitterly.
Lu Chen frowned and said: "As far as I know, Canglan Dadi is not a sword immortal from the Helian family. If the Helian family really wants to dominate, how can the other sword immortals sit back and watch?"
"Hmph, let's forget about the other sword immortals."
"Since Helian Sword Immortal led his family's army to comprehensively attack the major family forces, there has been no news about it for more than half a year."
"I'm afraid he was shocked by Sword Immortal Helian and was afraid, so he refused to speak out." The bearded man couldn't help but sneer.
Lu Chen was a little surprised and said: "This is impossible, you know, the strength of Dugu Sword Immortal Ji Changge is unimaginable."
"There is also the old devil of the Xiao family, who is also a person who is not easy to mess with. How could they just sit back and do nothing?"
The bushy-bearded man shook his head and said: "Who knows, if these two sword immortals take action, the sword immortals of the Helian family will not dare to be so arrogant."
Lu Chen didn't say anything when he heard this, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.
The Sword Immortal of the Helian family led the army and carried out killings in the territories of major powers so crazily. How could the Dugu Sword Immortal Ji Changge and the old devil Xiao Chen not react at all?
Are you afraid or have some scruples?
You must know that their family is also based on the Canglan land and has a foundation of nearly a thousand years. Once the Helian family completely captures the territories of the major family forces, they will turn around and deal with them.
Will Ji Changge and the old devil Xiao Chen helplessly watch the thousand-year foundation they have built be destroyed in one fell swoop?
Lu Chen looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds, his heart heavy. Although he was not an aboriginal of the Canglan land, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw the bloody scene of the world being devastated.
Hundreds of tribes compete for hegemony, in order to seize territory and expand territory. For a force, there is nothing wrong with this.
But why should those innocent people be implicated?
They are helpless and just want to live a peaceful and stable life.
Once the dispute between the major forces spreads, there will be tens of thousands of casualties.
Thinking of the tragic scene of those people being displaced and leaving their homes, Lu Chen felt an inexplicable sense of pity in his heart.
The Helian family is ruthless and can do anything in order to dominate the world.
If Dugu Sword Fairy Ji Changge and the old devil Xiao Chen don't take action, there will no longer be any way to stop the Helian family's army from conquering.
It also means that an unprecedented catastrophe is about to come.
"Where are you planning to flee?" Lu Chen looked at the bushy-bearded man.
The bushy-bearded man sighed: "After we escaped, our clansmen died and were injured. We will go westward and meet up with other clansmen in Heyang Town, a hundred miles away."
"So that's it. It seems that we are on our way. Do you mind if I go with you?" Lu Chen said with a smile.
The bushy-bearded man glanced at Chase Lu and nodded: "You can go as you go, I won't stop you. But if something unexpected happens along the way, you have to be happy."
"We don't have much energy to protect you."
"Of course, I don't need your protection, I just need to take care of myself." Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, not caring at all about the contempt in the other person's eyes.
