The burly old man was surrounded by several bandits wielding long weapons and had no time to block the oncoming arrows. He was about to be killed by the rain of arrows.
At this moment, a fan-shaped golden lightning descended from the sky and swept across the arrows.
"Bang! Bang!" As soon as the arrows made of fine steel came into contact with the golden lightning, they all exploded and turned into wisps of green smoke.
The golden lightning immediately split into hundreds of small lightning bolts that accurately struck the bandits, not missing a single one.
There was a loud thunderclap!
The bandits were all sent flying. When they landed on the ground, their bodies twitched violently and screamed in pain. However, no one died.
The burly old man was not struck by the lightning. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, unable to believe his eyes.
The golden lightning quickly dissipated. The bandits who had fallen to the ground struggled for a while and climbed up one after another. They looked around in fear.
"Get lost!
If I see you robbing others again, I will not forgive you! "A majestic voice came from the sky.
The group of bandits who had just gotten up were filled with fear. They were so shocked that they sat on the ground again. Then, they all ran away in terror.
The burly old man looked at the fleeing bandits with hatred. He did not chase them.
He was very old and seriously injured. He was powerless even if he wanted to.
In the sky, a man and a woman appeared. They were Han Li and Violet Spirit.
"Immortals …" The burly old man looked at the two people standing in the void with an excited expression.
Han Li took a glance at the burly old man before pointing a finger at him, and said, "I can see that you're a man of noble character and shouldn't have perished here. It was fate that brought us together, so I decided to save you."
A green light shot out and entered the old man's body.
The burly old man felt a vast warmth flow into his body. His fatigue was swept away and the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was surprised and happy.
"Many thanks to the two Immortals for saving me. Xiang Zong is very grateful!" The burly old man recovered and bowed to Han Li and Violet Spirit.
As the burly old man expressed his gratitude, an invisible force descended on Han Li.
He made a hand sign and lightning flashed around them. When the burly old man straightened his body, they disappeared.
…
A huge ship sailed on a huge lake in the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain.
However, at this moment, the waves on the surface of the lake were tumbling. Black tentacles emerged from the depths of the lake and tightly wrapped around the ship, as if they were about to crush the entire ship.
Fortunately, the material of the ship was exceptionally sturdy. Although it creaked, there was no sign of it breaking.
There were dozens of people in the cabin of the ship. They looked like a group of tourists, huddled together and shivering.
The lake water surged violently, and a giant black beast emerged. It looked like a giant octopus monster, and it opened its stinking mouth to bite the ship.
When the people on the ship saw this scene, they immediately cried out.
"Boom!" A thunderous sound exploded in mid-air, and a golden lightning struck down and hit the giant octopus.
The skin around the giant octopus monster's neck was lacerated, and arcs of electricity curled around its body. It screamed in horror, and the tentacles that had wrapped around the ship immediately loosened.
With a "whoosh" sound, the huge body of the giant monster submerged into the lake and disappeared.
The people on the ship cried tears of joy after escaping death.
In mid-air, the figures of Han Li and Violet Spirit appeared. Han Li's hands were still curling with golden arcs of electricity.
"Immortals, Immortals have saved us. Quickly come out and thank us …" When the people on the ship saw Han Li and Violet Spirit, they cried out in alarm and rushed out of the ship to kowtow to Han Li and Violet Spirit.
When the others heard this, they hurriedly ran out and bowed to Han Li and Violet Spirit.
The corner of Han Li's mouth curled into a smile. The golden lightning flashed on the surface of his body, and he disappeared again.
…
The Great Green Mountain Range of the North Road State had been raining for months. It had triggered landslides, and a small mountain village was about to be submerged by a torrent of mud and rocks.
Suddenly, a blue light fell from the sky, and the entire collapsed mountain was frozen. The mudslide was also frozen, and the small village at the foot of the mountain was safe and sound.
The villagers who had escaped were overjoyed, but they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. They didn't know what had happened.
In mid-air, the figures of Han Li and Violet Spirit appeared.
"Immortals, it's the Immortals!
The Immortals have saved us … "
…
In the blink of an eye, twenty to thirty years had passed since Han Li had saved people everywhere in the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain.
He had saved countless people, and his reputation had gradually spread throughout the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain. In some places, there were even mortals who built temples to worship Han Li.
Furthermore, through the oral descriptions of Han Li by those who were fortunate enough to have seen his true appearance, his appearance gradually became clearer, and he was carved into all types of statues that were enshrined in temples and halls, where incense was constantly being burned.
Some Immortal Cultivation Sects in the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain also gradually heard the news, and sent people to investigate the frequent appearances of Immortals saving people.
Han Li had no intention of entangling himself with the Immortal Cultivation Sects in the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain, so he quietly left with Violet Spirit and went to the nearby Immortal Domain.
In the sky above the Savage World outside the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain, a flying ship flew forward. Han Li sat quietly with his eyes closed, as if he was sensing something.
After a long time, he opened his eyes.
"Brother Han, how's the progress of sensing the Good Corpse?" Violet Spirit sat beside him and asked when she saw that Han Li had woken up.
"It's alright. Now I can finally sense the existence of the Good Corpse," Han Li said faintly, without much joy in his tone.
"Is there a problem?" Violet Spirit was keenly aware of Han Li's emotions and asked softly.
"There is indeed a problem. I have been doing good deeds all these years, but the blessings I have received have been decreasing. Especially in the past year, there has been almost no response." Han Li frowned.
"How can this be?" Violet Spirit's pretty face changed.
"I'm not sure.
However, the Good Corpse in my body has just barely sensed it. It's still far from the stage of Corpse Decapitation. No matter what, I have to find a solution. Otherwise, it will stagnate again, "Han Li said in a deep voice.
Violet Spirit nodded slowly and did not say anything.
"I'm wondering if it's because the number of people I have saved recently is too few and the merit points are insufficient. That's why the Good Corpse's response has stagnated," Han Li said slowly.
"That's possible, but it could also be due to other reasons. Oh right, Brother Han, when did you help others? Which time did you receive the most feedback?" Violet Spirit's beautiful eyes flashed as she asked.
"The most feedback?
That should be the first time I saved the storyteller and his granddaughter. Later on, when I helped others, it wasn't as high as the first time. In fact, it was almost none. "Han Li was startled. After thinking for a moment, he said.
"I remember that when Brother Han helped others, there were several times when the number of people you saved was more than two. It seems that it's not a problem of the number of people." Violet Spirit shook her head.
"That's reasonable. Then, what's the difference between the first time I helped someone and the many times after that?" Han Li nodded slowly and sank into deep thought.
Violet Spirit also remained silent. As smart as she was, she could not come up with any answer to this profound and obscure theory.
"Forget it. Since I can't think of it, then I don't have to waste my energy to think about it. I've already gained a lot today. In the future, it'll be the same as before. It'll depend on fate." Han Li thought for a long time, but he still could not figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
Violet Spirit also nodded and stopped thinking about it in vain.
Han Li made a hand seal and a golden light entered the flying boat under him.
The Spirit Inscriptions on the flying boat suddenly became ten times brighter and its speed also increased. The surrounding void seemed to be cut open.
After flying like this for more than ten days, the two finally reached a new Celestial Region.
The Spirit Qi in this Celestial Region was extremely scarce. It was much worse than the Northern Frost Celestial Region. It was almost the same as the Spiritual Realm.
"What a barren Celestial Region …" Han Li spread his Immortal Sense and soon, he frowned.
This Celestial Region was very small, less than half the size of the Flying Wing Celestial Region. His Immortal Sense was enough to cover it all.
There were traces of mineral veins all over the Celestial Region. It was full of desolation, like a broken rag. The Spirit Veins under the ground were destroyed. No wonder the Spirit Qi was so scarce.
The population of this Celestial Region was very small. Whether it was cultivators or mortals, most of them were concentrated in a few specific areas. The Spirit Veins there were not very damaged. There was still some Spirit Qi left, which was barely enough for cultivators to cultivate.
"What's the name of this Celestial Region?" Han Li asked.
"This Celestial Region is called Crane Ridge Celestial Region. A long time ago, it was a Celestial Region with abundant Spirit Qi and many mineral veins. But later, the Heavenly Court sent people here to over-mine and destroy all the Spirit Veins in this Celestial Region, which led to the current situation." Violet Spirit took out a jade slip and probed it with her Immortal Sense.
"Heavenly Court …" Han Li frowned slightly and murmured.
"Brother Han, are you going to continue to help people in this Celestial Region?
This Celestial Region is sparsely populated. I'm afraid the efficiency is not high. "Violet Spirit looked at Han Li and asked.
"Let's take a look first. It's rare to see such a desolate Celestial Region in the True Immortal World." Han Li's eyes flashed and he said lightly.
Violet Spirit nodded silently and did not say anything.
Han Li made a hand seal and the two of them were covered by golden lightning, forming a lightning array.
The golden lightning flashed and the two of them disappeared without a trace.
There was a huge basin in the northwest of Crane Ridge Celestial Region. It was thousands of miles in radius.
There was a huge city in the basin. It almost occupied the entire basin. The city was a mixture of cultivators and mortals.
Although the area of the city was not small, there was not much prosperity in the city. Many places had been abandoned, and a faint smell of rust floated in the air. There were not many people on the streets in the center of the city, and there were pitifully few people in the shops of various sizes. Most people were hiding in their homes, regardless of whether they were cultivators or mortals.
The whole city was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. It was like an old man waiting for death to come.
There was a flash of lightning in the sky outside the city. Han Li and Violet Spirit's figures appeared.
The sky was foggy and no one noticed the lightning in the sky.
Han Li looked at the city below and a smile appeared on his face.
"Let's go down and take a look." Han Li said and flew away.
Violet Spirit followed closely behind him, and the two of them landed silently on a street.
It was dusk and most of the city was in darkness. Only sporadic lights showed that there were still people living in the city.
The shops on both sides of the street occasionally had their lights on, illuminating a small area of the surrounding area.
Han Li wandered aimlessly on the street. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was sensing something.
Violet Spirit felt strange but did not ask anything. She quietly followed beside Han Li.
