Chapter 338: Chapter 154: This Peach Blossom Luck is Really a Punishment!_1

“Phew, looks like everything should be alright now,”

Atop the mountain, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, exhaling lightly as the two middle-grade spirit stones in his hand turned to powder.

He had stayed on this mountain for over half a month.

Besides a few wild beasts coming to offer themselves as meals, no one had searched for him at all.

So Lu Changsheng was also preparing to return.

After all, if they really had the means, half a month was more than enough time to find him.

The fact that no one came for so long also indicated that there was no trouble.

Stepping out of the cave, Lu Changsheng released the Iron Feather Eagle, ready to take off, when he saw flames reaching towards the sky from a small mountain village at the base of the mountain.

“Hmm, what’s happened there, bandits?”

Lu Changsheng’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked carefully and faintly heard cries and screams.

Seeing this, he put the Iron Feather Eagle back into the spiritual pet bag and turned into a streak of escape light to check the situation.

Although he wasn’t someone who would normally intervene in others’ affairs,

this looked to be a raid by bandits, wielding torches and looting.

He had heard about such things in his youth, before his memories were awakened.

Now that he had come across it, he would lend a hand where he could.

After all, to be human is to have basic morals.

You don’t spend years cultivating to become an immortal, only to look down on others, indifferent to the plight and death of ordinary people.

“Swoosh!”

Lu Changsheng became a beam of light speeding toward the village.

Before he even got close, he saw a group of bandits dressed in black and riding on horses, slaughtering the villagers as cries and screams pierced the air.

“It’s the horse bandits,”

Lu Changsheng’s expression turned severe.

Horse bandits were even more despicable than ordinary robbers and bandits.

They had horses, coming and going without a trace.

Thus, while normal bandits would just raid nearby villages and then leave,

it was a long-term infestation.

But when horse bandits raided, it completely depended on their mood.

Massacring entire villages was a common occurrence.

“Bold thieves, wantonly taking lives, meet your end!”

Lu Changsheng shouted from the sky.

With the enhancement of his mana, his voice roared like thunder, resonating through the entire village.

“Not good, it’s an Immortal, everyone retreat quickly!”

A tall and muscular man with an ominous presence, wielding a nine rings saber and one eye, heard the deafening voice and immediately panicked, his soul almost flying out of his body as he shouted loudly.

However, before he had finished speaking, he saw a stark white flying sword coming straight at him.

The next moment.

“Pu!”

A head soared up, as blood sprayed!

The other marauding bandits also became terrified upon hearing this command.

Their faces filled with horror, they ran like dogs that had lost their homes.

“An Immortal, it’s an Immortal!”

“It’s an Immortal! I heard from Grandpa about legends of immortals who could fly with the wind… The Immortal has come to save us,”

“Wuwuwu, Immortal, save us!”

The remaining villagers, hearing the shout, felt as if they had grasped a lifeline while drowning.

They looked up at Lu Changsheng in the sky, calling out loudly in prayer, kneeling and bowing.

“Pu! Pu! Pu——”

Lu Changsheng, dressed in his magical robe flapping in the wind, stood aloft in the air, his expression emotionless as the stark white flying sword, like a wandering dragon, unleashed its sword qi in sweeping slashes, killing one bandit after another.

The bandits who had been arrogantly slaughtering the villagers were like chickens and ducks awaiting slaughter under Lu Changsheng’s flying sword, falling dead immediately upon being struck by the sword qi.

“We Blood Cloud Bandits were ignorant, unaware an Immortal was passing by, and we wish to leave now. Please, Immortal, have mercy on us!”

“Immortal, spare our lives!”

“Spare us!”

The bandits knew that they couldn’t resist someone with the capabilities of an immortal like Lu Changsheng, and they begged loudly for their lives.

But Lu Changsheng showed no trace of compassion.

If he hadn’t happened to pass by today, the Blood Cloud Bandits would have killed who knows how many people.

At the very least, this village would not have been spared.

The other villagers watching Lu Changsheng slaying the bandits felt a surge of relief, but also couldn’t help feeling terrified and their scalps numbed.

Though the bandits deserved to die,

Lu Changsheng, with his indifferent expression and impassive demeanor, sword rising and falling like mowing grass, killing bandit after bandit, left them deeply shocked.

They felt both respect and fear for this ‘Immortal.’

Shortly after, Lu Changsheng had slain dozens of bandits.

Looking at the flames burning in the village, he flicked his hand.

Suddenly, mana spread from him like a hurricane, extinguishing the blazing flames.

Then he helped some of the injured villagers, providing healing.

“Thank you, Immortal, thank you!”

“Thank you, Immortal, I will forever owe a life debt for your kindness!”

“Thank you, Immortal, I’ll install an altar in my home to pray for your safety!”

The villagers kneeled and thanked Lu Changsheng in succession.

They knew their own limitations.

They knew they couldn’t possibly help Lu Changsheng.

So they could only express their gratitude in this simplest of ways.

“Sigh.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the many burned-down huts and dead bodies, and he let out a sigh.

Even after so many years of cultivation and numerous experiences, his heart had grown much more indifferent than at first.

But faced with such a scene, he couldn’t help but feel a heavy weight in his heart.

No matter whether it’s the Cultivation World or the secular world, those at the bottom always seemed to have the hardest lives.

It made him feel fortunate that he had encountered the chance to cultivate and reach this stage.

“Hmm?”

Just as Lu Changsheng finished aiding people and was about to leave, he noticed a little girl among the crowd kneeling before him.

The girl looked to be about ten years old.

Her face was somewhat dirty, wearing ragged grey linen clothes.

Yet from such a small girl, Lu Changsheng felt an odd allure.

This inexplicable sensation caused Lu Changsheng to pause.

As a man who had been through countless battles and seen all there is to see, Lu Changsheng was quite confident about his ability to resist temptation when it came to the fairer sex.
