The county city of Yuzhou was also known as Yucheng. It was located in the center of Yuzhou and was also the center of the entire Yuzhou. It was a huge city that was built because of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and at the foot of the Heaven Shaking Peak, this city had accompanied the Heaven Shaking Sect for countless years since its birth.

At this moment, Yang Junshan, along with a caravan that he met on the way, came to this city that had a history of thousands of years. He couldn't help but recall what happened to him on the way here in the past two months.

Two months ago, when Yang Junshan had departed from Xishan Village, he had viewed this trip to the county city as a journey to broaden his horizons. However, this journey had given Yang Junshan a creepy feeling.

After Mengyu County, Yang Junshan joined a caravan heading north. The destination of this caravan was the same as Yang Junshan, both of them from Yutang.

The shopkeeper welcomed Yang Junshan to join the caravan, especially after he learned that Yang Junshan was a warrior. The addition of a warrior could help the caravan improve, even though Yang Junshan thought that this caravan with three warriors was strong enough.

However, after walking for less than two days, Yang Junshan encountered a bald cultivator in linen robes walking barefoot on the road. As the caravan passed by him, he even clasped his hands and bowed slightly.

Shi Clan cultivators!

Yang Junshan even had the urge to kill someone, but he managed to hold it in in in the end. Then, he heard a burst of laughter coming from beside him.

"Haha, Brother Yang, don't panic. These people won't cause any trouble. I haven't seen anyone like him, right?"

Shopkeeper Liu and the other two Martial Disciples from the caravan looked at Yang Junshan with a smile on their faces, the wariness on their faces had yet to dissipate.

"Does that mean Shopkeeper Liu and the two dao friends have seen someone dressed like this before?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Yang Junshan's face, Manager Liu explained: "To be honest, the first time this old merchant saw these people, he was also full of caution, and almost made a move. In this deserted forest road, walking alone on the road, it's hard to not connect them with bandits."

The other two Martial Disciples also nodded in agreement. A caravan like theirs who spent most of their time in the wilderness would always be wary of and hostile towards people on the road. Even just relying on their suspicion to kill people was nothing.

In his previous life, Yang Junshan had walked with the caravan when he was down and had a clear understanding of the inner workings. However, Yang Junshan noticed the 'all these' in Manager Liu's words, so he asked, "Are there a lot of these people? From the shopkeeper's tone, it seems that we frequently meet these people."

Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a moment, then said: "Almost every time we are in the business world, we would meet one or two people on the road of business. These people are very strange, always walking alone, rarely seeing more than two people walking together, and many of them are barefoot."

Before he finished his sentence, he had never closed the box. He continued, "However, these people have proved to be of no threat to the caravan, but do not think that they can provoke them without any threat. Hehe, these people are not easy to deal with!"

As he said this, a strange expression flashed across Shopkeeper Liu's face, as if he had suddenly recalled something. It seemed that Shopkeeper Liu had suffered at the hands of these Shi Clan cultivators, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so familiar with them.

However, Shopkeeper Liu's words were not easy to deal with, causing Yang Junshan to suddenly recall an unusual member of the Shi Clan in his previous life, the Ascetic Practice Monk!

Unlike the other Shi Clan cultivators who had spread their teachings and developed their believers, using their believers' free offerings to hoard cultivation resources, the ascetic monk viewed suffering as a form of cultivation, a form of training to temper his willpower. Compared to the lotus flowers that the other Shi Clan cultivators created with their exquisite illusions, a golden lotus bloomed on the ground to swindle the believers' materials and money, the ascetic monk obviously had Yang Junshan's approval.

However, at this time, Yang Junshan thought of something and asked Manager Liu: "These ascetic cultivators are so strange, could it be that the various towns along the way never noticed them and the Heaven Shaking Sect never came to check on these people?"

Shocked, Shopkeeper Liu said: "What's there to look at? Everyone has their own cultivation methods, and it's not like there are no such things as hiking or hiking in the cultivation world, especially for those who cultivate special body forging techniques. Moreover, hiking based on the body is a form of training for a cultivator's willpower."

Yang Junshan blinked, not knowing what to say. He turned around to look, and this cultivator walked back after the caravan had passed, but the distance between him and the caravan was getting farther and farther away, until it disappeared at the end of the road.

Afterwards, just as Shopkeeper Liu had said, they met two more bitter cultivators on the way. The last time they met, the bitter cultivator who had a worried expression but whose age was unclear was currently on the side of the road collecting a few corpses that had already been torn apart.

When the caravan passed by, Shopkeeper Liu stopped and called for a few waiters to dig a hole with the cultivator and bury the dead.

"Sigh, they were killed by the berserk beasts." Manager Liu sighed and said, "In recent years, there have been more and more berserk beasts, and they have become more and more intelligent. In the past, many solitary berserk beasts have learned to join forces.

The expression on Yang Junshan's face was unsettled. The demonic energy that lingered in the woods beside the road told him who the real beast was.

"The number of berserk beasts increased and they attacked so many people on the street. Does no one feel strange?" Yang Junshan suppressed his emotions and asked with a feigned confusion.

"Brother Yang, you look like someone who has never gone out before. What's so strange about the dead people in this wilderness forest, it's just that the caravans who travel back and forth between the mountains and the mountains have noticed us. Furthermore, those ferocious beasts only come and go on the streets of the desolate hills and villages where there are people living, but no fierce beasts have ever dared to come near us."

"Then you can report to the Heaven Shaking Sect and find out why these beasts have become so smart and frequently attack the bystanders. That should be fine, right?"

"Why should he help us?" The sneer on Shopkeeper Liu's face was no longer concealed: "Our merchants' lives aren't worth that much jade coins. Besides, berserk beasts are still fierce beasts, so no matter how smart they are, they won't turn into adults.

Right now, Yang Junshan had an impulse to shout out loud to tell Manager Liu that the beasts were not the beasts, but the beasts that gradually gained intelligence. When the beasts reached a certain level of cultivation, they could transform into a human, but at that time, the worst one would be at the Mortal Realm, which could not be described as a disaster anymore.0

"Alright, the corpses of these people have already been buried. Brother Yang, it's time for us to leave as well!"

Yang Junshan didn't reply. Instead, he turned around and walked to the ascetic who was about to continue walking forward. He put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, please, may I know what your name is?"

The monk was obviously shocked by Yang Junshan's etiquette and words, and the worry on his face disappeared quite a bit. He quickly bowed and replied, "Amitabha, this poor monk greets you, and does not dare call you 'Master'. I wonder if you have come into contact with this poor monk, why are you so familiar with my clan's etiquette?"

Yang Junshan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this master. I just have a question for you, may I ask what you think about this beast devouring matter?"

The Shi Clan cultivator called Jia Hui pondered for a moment, then said, "Everything has their own intelligence, all living things are equal. Humans hunt fierce beasts, while fierce beasts also eat humans. The cycle of karma in this world cannot be any more!"

"Hehe." Yang Junshan laughed. It was hard to tell if it was ridicule or something else. He just cupped his hands and said, "I've been enlightened. Master, we'll meet again in the future!"

With that, Yang Junshan got on the caravan and left. Only Jia Hui stood there and watched Yang Junshan's caravan disappear from his sight, then he turned around and left.

What Jia Hui San didn't know was that when Yang Junshan returned to the car, she saw Shopkeeper Liu and a few others looking at him strangely, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Many people that tried to come into contact with them thought that they were deaf and dumb people. This old man had coincidentally helped a bitter cultivator and that's why he opened his mouth to thank me. It was also because of that time that he got to know them. "Shopkeeper Liu's face was filled with disbelief as he said," You brat, you were actually able to get close with that bitter cultivator.

The other Martial Disciple in the merchant group also said: "I saw you bowing to that person and the way you looked like you were extremely proficient with the cuts. It seems like you were very familiar with them before. How unkind!"

Yang Junshan quickly apologized and said: "Please do not misunderstand, this is indeed the first time I have seen this bitter cultivator, but I have seen some self-proclaimed Shi Clan members dressed in similar attire to that bitter cultivator, but those people were able to speak clearly and often bewitch others into becoming their followers, and then they kept the resources required for cultivation. These people called themselves the Shi Clan, and also called themselves the Buddha, thus they used the Shi Clan's etiquette to meet that bitter cultivator, but who would have known it was a mistake!"

"Oh, are those people from the Shi Clan?" Shopkeeper Liu was deep in thought, but he didn't know that the 'those people' he was referring to were the ascetic cultivators he had met on the road. Or perhaps he had also seen those Shi Clan cultivators that Yang Junshan had spoken of.

After the caravan entered Yu City, Yang Junshan separated from Manager Liu and the others. After paying a few jade coins to rent a substitute puppet, Yang Junshan walked towards the Heaven-Shaking Sect's refining workshop in Yu City.
