"Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the next town to stay overnight."
Little did Lu Qing and his companions know that behind them, a demon that had caused a huge uproar in Jizhou was hot on their trail.
At this very moment, they were gazing at the grim clouds overhead with some worry.
One glance at the sky was enough to tell that a torrential downpour was imminent. Yet, at this moment, they found themselves outside in the wilderness, a good few dozen miles from the next town; it seemed unlikely they would reach it anytime soon.
"Since we can't make it in time, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain. I remember there used to be a semi-abandoned Taoist temple nearby, though I'm not sure if it's still inhabitable."
The elder doctor looked up at the heavy dark clouds in the sky, knowing that if they didn't find shelter soon, it would be too late.
