Gods: Start with Goblins

Elder Tianji smiled bitterly, his expression revealing a bit of helplessness and fatigue. He slowly spoke and told Elder Luodan what had happened briefly and clearly. From how they accidentally broke into the demon territory, to how they were mistaken for spies and hunted down, to how they had gone through so much hardship to escape here, every detail was not missed.

After hearing this, Elder Luodan frowned slightly, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his heart. He was silent for a moment, staring into the distance with deep eyes, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly spoke in a firm and powerful voice: "I see. It seems that your operation this time is indeed extremely dangerous. It is a blessing to be able to come here alive. However, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let you get hurt."

Elder Luodan's words were like the warm sun in winter, instantly illuminating the haze in the hearts of Elder Tianji and his companions. They smiled at each other, with gratitude and hope in their eyes. They knew that with Elder Luodan's protection, they might be able to survive this crisis, continue their journey, and explore the unknown vast world.

However, they also understood that this storm was far from over. The pursuit of the demons was only the beginning, and the real challenge might have just revealed the tip of the iceberg. They must always remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with all difficulties.

Elder Luodan stood tall and straight, like a pine tree. His eyes were like torches, as if he could see through all the falsehoods and truths in the world. He waved his hand gently, his movements were elegant and calm, but contained endless power and mystery. An invisible barrier spread out quickly like rippling water, tightly wrapping Elder Tianji and others.

This barrier not only blocked the outside world's sight and perception, but also seemed to freeze time. Elder Tianji and the others only felt a flash before their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already in a completely different world. There was hazy fog all around, as if they were in a fairyland. And in the sight of those demon soldiers and nobles, they had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"What is this?" Elder Tianji widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the scene in front of him, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

"This is the 'hiding barrier' that I created." Elder Luodan smiled and explained, "Inside this barrier, you can rest and recover in peace. When you have recovered, we will discuss together how to deal with the next challenge."

Elder Tianji and his companions smiled at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude and admiration. They knew that with Elder Luodan by their side, they would have the confidence to overcome all difficulties. And this storm would become one of the most precious experiences in their lives.

In this enchantment, Elder Tianji and the others felt a flash before their eyes, as if a mysterious force gently brushed past their eyes, and the surrounding scene had changed drastically. The originally noisy post station, those ferocious demon soldiers, and the arrogant demon noble, all disappeared as if blown away by a gust of wind. In their place was a quiet and peaceful space, filled with a faint fragrance, as if it was a fairyland isolated from the world.

They looked around and saw clouds and mists everywhere. The mists were floating gently in the breeze, like fairies dancing in a fairyland. The sun shone through the clouds, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of mystery and fantasy to the space. They seemed to be in another world, isolated from all the disturbances and dangers of the outside world, and they couldn't help but feel an indescribable peace and joy in their hearts.

"Elder Tianji, why are you here?" At this moment, Luo Dan's voice, deep and magnetic, sounded softly beside Elder Tianji's ears, like the sound of an ancient zither, melodious and pleasant. There was a hint of surprise in his voice, as if he was surprised by the appearance of Elder Tianji and others; at the same time, it was full of deep concern, as if he was asking about an old friend who had not seen him for a long time.

Elder Tianji turned around and saw Luo Dan standing not far away. His figure was looming in the mist, like an otherworldly immortal. His eyes flashed with complex lights, with both worry and concern for the situation of Elder Tianji and others, and also with relief and relief that they were able to come here safely.

"Elder Luodan, you came just in time!" Elder Tianji shouted excitedly, his voice trembling a little. "There were some accidents in our operation this time. We accidentally broke into the territory of the demons and were mistaken for spies and were hunted down. Thanks to your timely appearance, otherwise we would have been in great danger."

Elder Luodan frowned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Then, he slowly spoke in a firm and powerful voice: "Elder Tianji, don't worry. Now that I am here, I will never let you get hurt again. I will do my best to help you get through this crisis."

Elder Tianji and his companions smiled at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude and admiration. They knew that with Elder Luodan, they had a backbone, the confidence and courage to overcome all difficulties. And this unexpected journey will become more exciting and unforgettable because of their joint efforts and persistence.

Elder Tianji couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when he heard this. He knew very well that in this dangerous demon territory, the appearance of Elder Luodan was like a beam of light in the darkness, which undoubtedly brought them a ray of hope. He looked into Elder Luodan's firm and deep eyes, and his heart was filled with gratitude and respect.

Taking a deep breath, Elder Tianji recounted the events in detail, as if every detail was still fresh in his mind: "Elder Luodan, we originally planned to stop at this post station to replenish some much-needed supplies so that we can continue our journey. However, man proposes, God disposes. Suddenly, a Lord Long came to the City Lord's Mansion. His arrival was like a sudden storm, completely disrupting our plans."

"That Lord Long exudes a powerful aura and his strength is unfathomable. We are worried that once we enter the City Lord's Mansion, our identities and whereabouts will be exposed. At that time, not only will our mission fail, but we may even lose our lives." When Elder Tianji said this, his tone revealed a hint of fear and helplessness.

After hearing this, Elder Luodan frowned slightly, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his heart. He pondered for a moment, staring into the distance with deep eyes, as if thinking of some countermeasures. After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice firm and powerful: "So that's how it is. I have also heard of that Lord Long. His strength is indeed extraordinary, and he is a leader among the demons. But don't worry, since I have met him, I will never let you fall into danger."

Elder Luodan's words were like the warm sunshine of spring, instantly warming the hearts of Elder Tianji and his companions. They smiled at each other, with gratitude and hope in their eyes. They knew that with Elder Luodan's protection, they might be able to survive this crisis and continue their journey. "Elder Luodan, what should we do next?" Elder Tianji asked, his tone full of expectation and trust.

Elder Luodan smiled and said confidently, "You guys take a rest here for a while to recover your strength and spirit. I'll go find out the details about Lord Long and what's going on in the City Lord's Mansion. When everything is ready, we'll make a detailed plan to ensure that you can leave this post safely."

Elder Tianji and his companions nodded, their hearts full of admiration and gratitude for Elder Luodan. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges there were ahead, as long as Elder Luodan was there, they had the confidence to overcome everything and continue their adventure. And this unexpected journey would become more exciting and unforgettable because of their joint efforts and persistence.

As he spoke, Elder Luodan's eyes were like a warm spring breeze, gently brushing across the faces of Elder Tianji and the others. His eyes were full of determination and resolve, as if telling them: With me here, everything will be fine. He continued, "Now, you guys take a break here and adjust your state. I'll go check out the surrounding situation, including the whereabouts of Lord Long, the defense of the City Lord's Mansion, and the potential threats we may face. When the time is right, we'll find a way to leave this place safely."

Elder Tianji and the others felt a surge of warmth in their hearts when they heard this, as if the winter sun had shone into their hearts. They knew that Elder Luodan was not only powerful, but also a loyal and trustworthy partner. They nodded one after another, with gratitude and trust in their eyes, and expressed their willingness to follow Elder Luodan's arrangements and overcome this difficult time together.

Elder Luodan smiled when he saw this, patted Elder Tianji on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible. During this time, you must remain vigilant, but don't be too nervous. Remember, we are a team. Only by trusting and supporting each other can we overcome all difficulties."

After saying that, Elder Luodan disappeared in a flash, leaving Elder Tianji and the others standing there in a daze, their hearts filled with admiration and gratitude for Elder Luodan. They knew that every action of Elder Luodan was for their safety, and every effort he made was a deep concern for them.

Under the protection of Elder Luodan, Elder Tianji and others temporarily escaped the crisis and found a relatively safe place to rest. However, they also knew that the storm was far from over. They must always remain vigilant and be ready to deal with possible challenges. After all, in this dangerous demon territory, any negligence could bring fatal consequences.

But even so, Elder Tianji and others were not afraid. Because they knew that Elder Luodan was by their side, he was their strong backer and their spiritual pillar. They believed that as long as Elder Luodan was there, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would be able to overcome the dangers and continue their journey to explore the unknown vast world.

Time passed quietly, and Elder Luodan finally came back. He brought the latest information about Lord Long and the City Lord's Mansion, as well as a thorough escape plan. Elder Tianji and others were pleasantly surprised after hearing this. They knew that with Elder Luodan's guidance and help, they were not far from successfully escaping.

So, under the leadership of Elder Luodan, Elder Tianji and others began intensive preparations. They divided the work and cooperated, each doing their own job, and soon implemented the plan in an orderly manner. In this storm, they also more deeply realized the power of the team and the preciousness of friendship. They believed that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

At the edge of an ancient and deep forest, the afterglow of the setting sun lazily sprinkled on a seemingly ordinary post station, covering this lonely place with a faint golden glow. Elder Tianji walked into the post station with Elder Luodan with a slightly heavy step, and the uneasiness in his heart was gradually replaced by an indescribable emotion.

"Brother Tianji, you look solemn, but are you worried about something?" Elder Luodan's voice was gentle and powerful, like a breeze in spring, gently brushing across Elder Tianji's heart.

Elder Tianji stopped and turned his gaze to Luo Dan, his weathered eyes flashing with complex emotions. "Brother Luo Dan, this scene reminds me of the difficulties we have come this far. At this moment, a warm current surges in my heart, like a cup of hot tea in winter, warm and nourishing." His words were filled with emotion and relief.

Elder Luodan smiled slightly, and that smile was filled with endless wisdom and warmth. "In this world full of prejudice and danger, the trust and support between us is the most precious treasure. My kindness is just a ray of light in the darkness, I hope it can illuminate the way forward for you and give you courage and hope."

Elder Tianji looked at Luo Dan gratefully, his deep eyes flashing with deep respect and gratitude for Elder Luo Dan. "Brother Luo Dan, every word you say is like nectar, nourishing my dry heart. Please accept my greeting." As he spoke, he bowed slightly to express his most sincere gratitude.

The two smiled at each other and then found a seat by the window. Elder Tianji took a deep breath and began to tell about their experience. Although his voice was low, every word contained unquestionable strength and determination.

"We originally just wanted to take a short break in this inn, away from the chaos and dangers of the outside world. However, things are unpredictable, and the demon soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded us. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and I could feel everyone's heartbeat accelerating. Fear and tension spread among the crowd."

He paused, as if recalling that thrilling moment, with a barely perceptible tremor in his eyes. "We tried to conceal our identities and used various methods to avoid their attention. But the demon soldiers were extremely alert, and every tiny movement of ours could become a fuse for exposure. At that moment, I could almost hear the sound of my own heartbeat, and every beat was accompanied by a struggle on the brink of life and death." (End of this chapter)
