After visiting Xu Lanshan's Imperial Ceremony, the cultivators didn't return home immediately. Instead, they headed towards Qingming.
The distance from the Xu Family Ancestral Land to Qingming is less than 20,000 miles, and cultivators can reach it in just half a month. Wei Yuan, after admiring the Golden Pavilion Jade Building Immortal Heaven Mixed Element Tribulation, found his Dao Heart particularly clear and returned to Qingming, ready to use this opportune state to gain some insights.
Two days after returning, he heard rumors about a large influx of cultivators, and it took him a moment to understand where they came from.
About three months had passed since the opening of Han Yang Pass. Wei Yuan's own caravan had brought back 100,000 refugees, and another near 100,000 refugees had arrived on their own. Moreover, various large and small forces, overtly and covertly, sold over 200,000 refugees here.
