Li Hu was furious when he saw this. He shouted, "Shoot! Shoot!"

Suddenly, dozens of sharp arrows broke through the air and shot towards the direction where Luo Yao was.

However, Luo Yao seemed to have anticipated this move. He moved again and dodged all the arrows at an incredible angle.

"Humph, you think you can hurt me with just an arrow?"

Luo Yao snorted coldly and appeared in front of Li Hu again.

He stared at Li Hu with sharp eyes, as if he could see through him.

Li Hu's heart trembled as he felt the powerful aura emanating from Luo Yao.

He knew that he was no match for Luo Yao, but as a general he could not retreat.

He gripped his spear tightly, ready to fight to the death with Luo Yao.

It’s a pity that ordinary people are just ordinary people after all.

How can one compare with the immortal cultivators?
Just a moment later, this group of people were killed by Luo Yao.

Even Luo Yao didn't take it seriously.

Perhaps this is the contrast between practitioners and ordinary people?

"Li Hu, right?"

Luo Yao came in front of Li Hu and looked at him silently.

Then, beheaded him.

Then left this place.

On the road.

Luo Yao was riding a horse that he got from Li Hu and his men.

He walked forward with an extremely leisurely look.

"I've been out for a long time, and I don't know what's going on in Qingshi City?"

"Then go back and take a look."

Luo Yao urged his horse and whipped it, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Qingshi City, the place where he grew up, is now not only his hometown in his heart, but also his spiritual home.

Although the outside world is vast and full of unknowns and challenges, whenever the night is quiet, he can't help but think of every tree and blade of grass in Bluestone City, as well as those familiar faces.

The scenery along the way was rapidly receding, but Luo Yao's mood became increasingly heavy.

He knew that he might face more troubles and challenges when he returned this time.

After all, his identity and the power he wields have already attracted the attention of many forces.

But no matter what, he has to go back, because there are his relatives, his friends, and things he must protect.

As the distance shortened, the outline of Bluestone City gradually became clear.

Gazing from afar, Luo Yao saw towering city walls and flying flags on the city walls, presenting a prosperous scene.

However, when he approached the city gate, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

A large number of soldiers and civilians gathered in front of the city gate, seemingly discussing something important.

Luo Yao's heart tightened and he quickly dismounted to ask.

A soldier stepped forward and said, "My lord, you may not know that a group of bandits have appeared near Qingshi City recently. They have been burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. Several villages have been affected."

"The city lord is urgently mobilizing troops to wipe out this group of bandits."

Luo Yao frowned when he heard this.

The rampant bandits were undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to ordinary people.

He knew very well that as a capable person, he could not sit idly by.

So he asked the soldiers for more information about the bandits and decided to go back to the city to understand the situation before making any plans.

After returning to the city, Luo Yao went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord is one of the many members of the Luo family in Qingshi City.

Although the Luo family of Qingshi City is a family of immortal cultivators, they still need to manage the land of Qingshi City that they control.

Being in a bad environment is not a good thing, right?
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

When Luo Yao stepped into the hall, he saw the city lord Luo Yunfeng, who was frowning and discussing countermeasures with several generals.

Luo Yunfeng is Luo Yao's distant uncle and the most respected person in Qingshi City. He not only has profound cultivation, but also has the wisdom and courage to govern a place.

Seeing Luo Yao returning, a hint of surprise flashed across Luo Yunfeng's eyes, but then he regained his seriousness.

"Yao'er, why are you back? It's not peaceful outside."

Luo Yao bowed slightly and answered respectfully: "Uncle, I just came back from traveling. I heard about the rampage of bandits on the way, so I came to help you."

Hearing this, Luo Yunfeng showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Okay, with your help, we will be able to wipe out this group of bandits as soon as possible and bring peace to the people."

Afterwards, Luo Yao inquired about the bandits' situation in detail.

According to intelligence, this group of bandits is large in number and strong in strength. Their leader is highly skilled in martial arts and has gained the upper hand in many battles with government troops.

What is even more troublesome is that they seem to have the support of a larger force behind them, and their actions are becoming more and more rampant.

Luo Yao pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

"Uncle, I think we need to start from two aspects."

"First, strengthen the city's defenses to ensure the safety of the people in the city."

"Second, we will form an elite team, go deep into the mountains and forests, find the bandits' lair, and destroy it in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Luo Yunfeng's eyes flashed with approval and he nodded, obviously agreeing with Luo Yao's proposal.

"Your idea coincides with mine, but the candidates for this elite team must be carefully selected."

Luo Yao smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, uncle, I have my own plans."

"I have traveled all over the world over the years and made many like-minded friends, many of whom are highly skilled."

"I can try to contact them and see if they can join us in fighting the bandits."

Luo Yunfeng felt relieved after hearing this.

"That's great. You go and make the arrangements. I will also step up the deployment of the city defense to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Luo Yao took the order and left, having already figured out everything in his mind.

He first returned to his residence, prepared some necessary items, and then began to contact his friends scattered around the place.

After some effort, several monks with extraordinary cultivation finally accepted his invitation and were willing to come to help.

A few days later, an elite team led by Luo Yao himself was formed.

They all have extraordinary skills and profound cultivation, and are full of confidence in the upcoming battle.

Luo Yunfeng watched them leave from the city wall, feeling both worried and expectant. He knew that this battle was dangerous, but he also understood that this was the only way to protect the people of Qingshi City from being harassed by bandits.

The team shuttled through the dense woods, the sunlight dappled on their determined faces, and every step seemed exceptionally heavy and powerful.

As the captain, Luo Yao not only has to command the overall situation, but also has to be vigilant about potential crises around him.

He knew very well that this was not just a simple bandit suppression operation, but also a great test of their cultivation, wisdom and teamwork ability.

In the mountains and forests, the sound of birds singing gradually faded away, replaced by bursts of low and strange whistles.

Luo Yao frowned, signaled the team to stop, and sent out several team members with excellent light skills to conduct reconnaissance.

Soon, the scouts returned with a nervous look and reported that they had found traces of bandits ahead, and their number was far beyond previous estimates. The leader seemed to be a monk with profound cultivation, with faint spiritual fluctuations surrounding him.

"It's really not simple."

Luo Yao thought to himself, and then called all the team members together to arrange a battle plan.

"The goal of our trip is to destroy the bandits' lair and rescue the captured civilians."

"But remember, don't underestimate the enemy, you need to outsmart them."

There was an unquestionable determination in his words.

As night fell, the team took advantage of the cover of darkness and quietly approached the bandits' camp.

The camp was brightly lit, with laughter and the aroma of wine and meat intertwined. It was obvious that the bandits were unaware of the impending crisis.

Luo Yao commanded his team to disperse, with one group responsible for luring away the guards, while the other group took the opportunity to sneak deep into the camp to look for the captured villagers and bandit leaders.

The battle broke out in an instant, with flames shooting into the sky and shouts of killing rang out everywhere.

Luo Yao led the charge, sword in hand, and rushed into the enemy group like a flash of lightning. Wherever the sword flashed, the bandits fell one after another.

His cultivation was fully demonstrated in actual combat. Each sword contained powerful force, which made people afraid.

However, the bandit leader was no ordinary man.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately summoned his men to besiege Luo Yao.

Although Luo Yao was brave, he couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed when facing so many enemies.

At this moment, his friends arrived in time. They each used their unique skills and fought side by side with Luo Yao, instantly turning the tide of the battle.

After a fierce battle, Luo Yao finally killed the bandit leader with a single blow. Seeing this, the rest of the bandits threw away their armor and fled. Luo Yao and his team did not pursue them, but quickly turned to the depths of the camp to look for the captured villagers.

In a hidden prison cell, they found the villagers who were tied up tightly.

When these villagers saw the rescue team, hope gleamed in their eyes, and some were even so excited that they burst into tears.

Luo Yao and his team members quickly untied the villagers' ropes, calmed them down, and guided them to evacuate to a safe place.

The evacuation journey was not peaceful. Although the bandits were defeated, there were still some remnants lurking in secret.

Luo Yao remained vigilant at all times, knowing full well that if he let his guard down at this moment, the consequences would be disastrous.

He ordered his team members to step up their vigilance and speed up their march to ensure that the villagers could return to Qingshi City safely.

After a night of fighting, the sky gradually turned pale.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the wall of Qingshi City, Luo Yao and his team returned to the city with the rescued villagers.

The people in the city rushed out upon hearing the news. They cheered and paid the highest respect to Luo Yao and his team.

City Lord Luo Yunfeng personally welcomed Luo Yao and his team.

He held Luo Yao's hand tightly, tears of excitement and relief flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that this battle not only wiped out the bandits, but also protected the tranquility of Qingshi City and the safety of the people.

In order to commend the great contribution made by Luo Yao and his team, Luo Yunfeng held a grand celebration banquet in the city.

"You did a good job this time, kid."

“It really surprised me.”

"You were still a little immature back then. I didn't expect that after just a short period of time out for training, you have grown to this level."

Hearing this, Luo Yao felt a warm current in his heart. He lowered his head humbly and said softly, "Uncle, you are too kind. All this is the result of our joint efforts."

"Without your support and the support of the people in the city, we would not have been able to achieve such a victory."

At the celebration banquet, there was constant laughter and joy. Luo Yao and his friends sat together, sharing every bit of the battle and the joy of victory.

They raised their glasses together to celebrate this hard-earned victory, as well as their deep friendship and tacit cooperation with each other.

However, just as the celebration banquet reached its climax, a mysterious man in a black robe quietly appeared at the door of the banquet hall.

He had an upright posture, a stern face, and a heart-pounding aura surrounding him.

Seeing this, everyone cast vigilant glances and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yunfeng immediately stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why did you intrude into my Qingshi City celebration banquet?"

The mysterious man smiled slightly, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "I am the messenger from the underworld, and I have come to convey a message."

Luo Yao: "What news?"

The mysterious man said: "Those bandits are controlled by my Netherworld Divine Cult. Regarding the matter of those bandits, my Netherworld Divine Cult will not care about it this time, but it may not be the case next time."

As the mysterious man finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sudden appearance of the Netherworld Messenger, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

Luo Yunfeng's expression became even more solemn. He knew very well that the Netherworld Cult was powerful and the force behind it was enough to make the entire Qingshi City tremble.

Luo Yao stood up, looked at the Netherworld Messenger with a determined gaze, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did the Netherworld Cult control the bandits to invade Qingshi City? We have no grudges against you, why are you forcing us like this?"

The messenger from the underworld smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in that smile, as if it could freeze people's souls.

"Mr. Luo, some things are not as simple as they seem. Qingshi City is located at a strategic point and is rich in resources. It will naturally attract the covetousness of various forces. The Netherworld Divine Cult is just one of them."

Luo Yao was burning with rage when he heard this, but he forced himself to hold back his anger. He knew that it was not wise to confront the Netherworld Messenger head-on at this time.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "So, what is the purpose of the Netherworld Messenger coming here?"

The Netherworld Messenger slowly walked to the center of the banquet hall, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Luo Yunfeng.

"My Lord City Lord, our Netherworld Cult has no ill will towards Bluestone City. We just hope to establish a closer relationship with Bluestone City in the future."

"As for those bandits, they are just some flags."

Luo Yunfeng frowned when he heard this, he knew very well that the intention of the Netherworld Cult would definitely not be that simple.

But he also understood that it was not appropriate to break off relations with the Netherworld Cult at this time, so he could only endure it temporarily.

"This city lord has taken note of the words of the Netherworld Messenger. But Bluestone City is a place that my Luo family has guarded for generations, and I will never give it to others easily."

The Netherworld Messenger smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised by Luo Yunfeng's answer.

"Your Excellency the City Lord is too kind. The Netherworld Cult has no intention of occupying Bluestone City."

"I just hope that in the future, Bluestone City can give us some support at critical moments."

Luo Yao heard this and his heart was alarmed. (End of this chapter)
