Li Hu was furious when he saw this. He shouted loudly: "Set an arrow! Shoot an arrow for me!"
Suddenly, dozens of sharp arrows shot out of the air and shot in the direction of Luo Yao.
However, Luo Yao seemed to have expected this move. He moved again and dodged all the arrows at an incredible angle.
"Hmph, even a mere arrow wants to hurt me?"
Luo Yao snorted coldly and appeared in front of Li Hu again.
He stared at Li Hu with burning eyes, as if he wanted to 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 back down.
He grasped the spear tightly and prepared to fight Luo Yao to the death.
It's just a pity that ordinary people are just ordinary people after all.
How can it be compared with those who cultivate immortality?
Just a moment later, this group of people was 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 to Li Hu and glanced at him silently.
Then, after beheading it.
Then left this place.
On the road.
Luo Yao was riding a horse that he got from Li Hu and the others.
With an extremely leisurely expression, he headed forward.
"I've been out for a long time, but I don't know what's going on over there in Qingshi City?"
"Let's go back and have a look."
Luo Yao rode his horse and whipped his whip, thinking a lot in his mind.
Qingshi City, the place where he grew up, is now not only his hometown in his heart, but also the destination of his soul.
Although the outside world is vast and full of unknowns and challenges, every time in the dead of night, he can't help but think of the plants and trees in Bluestone City, as well as those familiar faces.
The scenery along the way was retreating rapidly, but Luo Yao's mood became increasingly heavy.
He knew that he might face more troubles and challenges when he went back this time.
After all, his identity and power have attracted the attention of many forces.
But no matter what, he must go back. There are his relatives, his friends, and things he must protect.
As the distance shortened, the outline of Qingshi City gradually became clear.
Luo Yao looked from a distance and saw the towering city walls and flags flying on the towers, creating a prosperous scene.
However, when he approached the city gate, he found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
A large number of soldiers and people gathered in front of the city gate, seeming to be discussing something important.
Luo Yao's heart tightened and he quickly dismounted and asked.
Seeing this, a soldier stepped forward and replied: "Sir, you don't know something. Recently, a group of bandits appeared near Qingshi City. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Several villages have already suffered."< br>
"The Lord of the City is urgently mobilizing troops to destroy this group of bandits."
Luo Yao frowned when he heard this.
The rampant bandits are undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to ordinary people.
He knew 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.
Back in 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 his Bluestone City.
Although the Luo family of Bluestone City is a cultivating family, they still need to manage the land of Bluestone City that they control.
Being in such a bad environment is not a good thing, is it?
The atmosphere in the city lord's mansion was solemn and tense.
Luo Yao stepped into the hall and saw the city lord Luo Yunfeng frowning and discussing countermeasures with several generals.
Luo Yunfeng is Luo Yao's distant uncle, and he is also the most respected person in Bluestone City. He is not only profound in cultivation, but also has the wisdom and courage to govern an area.
Seeing Luo Yao's return, Luo Yunfeng's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he regained his composure.
"Yao'er, why are you back? It's not peaceful outside."
Luo Yao bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "Uncle, I came back from traveling and heard about bandits raging on the way, so I came here to help my uncle."
When Luo Yunfeng heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, with your help, we will be able to wipe out these bandits as soon as possible and restore peace to the people."
Later, Luo Yao asked about the bandits in detail.
According to intelligence, this group of bandits is numerous and powerful. The leader is highly skilled and has the upper hand in many battles with the army.
What's even more troublesome is that they seem to have greater support behind them, and their actions are becoming more and more rampant.
Luo Yao pondered for a moment, already thinking about it.
"Uncle, I think we need to start from two aspects."
“The first is to strengthen city defense and ensure the safety of people in the city.”
"The second is to form an elite team to go deep into the mountains and forests to find the bandit's lair and destroy it in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Luo Yunfeng's eyes flashed with approval. He nodded, obviously agreeing with Luo Yao's proposal.
"Your ideas coincide with mine, but the candidates for this elite team need to be carefully selected."
Luo Yao smiled slightly and said confidently: "Uncle, don't worry, I have my own plan."
"I have traveled all over the world over the years and made many like-minded friends, many of whom are highly skilled people."
"I can try to contact them to see if they can join us to fight against the bandits."
Luo Yunfeng felt a little relieved after hearing this.
"That's very good. Just go ahead and make arrangements. I will also step up the deployment of city defense to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Luo Yao took the order and left, having planned everything in his mind.
He first returned to his residence, prepared some necessary items, and then set out to contact his friends scattered around.
After a lot of hard work, several monks with extraordinary cultivation finally agreed to 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, with both worry and expectation in his heart. 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 bandits.
The team shuttled through the dense forest, with dappled sunlight shining on their resolute faces. Every step seemed particularly heavy and powerful.
As the captain, Luo Yao not only has to command the overall situation, but also must always be alert to possible hidden crises around him.
He knew 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 chirping of birds gradually faded away, replaced by waves of low and eerie whistling sounds.
Luo Yao frowned, signaled the team to stop, and sent several team members with excellent light skills to investigate.
Soon, the reconnaissance team returned with nervous expressions, reporting that they had found traces of bandits ahead, and the number far exceeded previous estimates. The leader seemed to be a monk with advanced cultivation, surrounded by faint spiritual energy fluctuations.
"It's really not simple."
Luo Yao thought to himself, and immediately summoned all the team members to lay out a battle plan.
"The goal of our trip is to destroy the bandits' lair and rescue the captured people."
"But remember, you can't underestimate the enemy, you need to win with wisdom."
There was an unquestionable determination in his words.
As night fell, the team quietly approached the bandits' camp under the cover of darkness.
The lights in the camp were brightly lit, and the laughter and the aroma of wine and meat were intertwined. It was obvious that the bandits were not aware of the coming crisis.
Luo Yao ordered the team members to disperse. Some were responsible for distracting the guards, while the other took the opportunity to sneak into the depths of the camp to find the captured villagers and bandit leaders.
The battle broke out in an instant, with flames shooting into the sky and shouts of killing.
Luo Yao took the lead, holding a long sword, and rushed into the enemy group like a bolt of lightning. Wherever the sword light passed, the bandits fell one after another.
His cultivation has been fully demonstrated in actual combat, and every sword contains powerful power, which is intimidating.
However, the bandit leader is no ordinary person.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately summoned his men to besiege Luo Yao.
Although Luo Yao was brave, he still found it difficult to face so many enemies.
At this moment, his friends arrived in time. They each performed their own unique skills and fought side by side with Luo Yao, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
After a fierce confrontation, the bandit leader was finally killed by Luo Yao with a sword. When the other bandits saw this, they abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions. Luo Yao and his team members did not pursue, but quickly turned to the depths of the camp to look for the captured villagers.
In a hidden prison, they found the villagers who were tied up tightly.
When these villagers saw the rescue team, their eyes shone with hope, and some even burst into tears with excitement.
Luo Yao and his team members quickly untied the villagers' ropes, calmed their emotions, and guided them to evacuate to a safe place.
The evacuation was not peaceful. Although the bandits were defeated, some remaining forces were still peeping in the dark.
Luo Yao is always vigilant, knowing that if he relaxes at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.
He ordered the team members to strengthen their vigilance and speed up their march to ensure that the villagers could return to Qingshi City safely.
After a night of hard work, the sky gradually turned white.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the walls of Qingshi City, Luo Yao and his team returned to the city with the rescued villagers.
The people in the city came out after hearing the news. They cheered and paid their 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, his eyes flashing with tears of excitement and relief.
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 Luo Yao and his team for their great contributions, 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 you would have grown to this extent just after going out for such a short period of time."
When Luo Yao heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He lowered his head humbly and said softly: "Uncle, I am so complimentary. All this is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
"Without the support of you and 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 laughter. Luo Yao and his friends sat together, sharing the details of the battle and the joy of victory.
They toasted together to celebrate this hard-won victory, as well as the deep friendship and tacit cooperation between them.
However, just as the celebration banquet was reaching its climax, a mysterious man in black robe quietly appeared at the door of the banquet hall.
He has a tall and straight posture, a stern face, and a heart-stopping aura surrounding him.
When everyone saw this, they all cast wary glances, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
When Luo Yunfeng saw this, he immediately stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you break into our Bluestone City celebration banquet without permission?"
The mysterious man smiled slightly, and his voice was low and magnetic: "I am the messenger of the underworld, and I am here to convey a message."
Luo Yao: "What news?"
The mysterious man said: "Those bandits are controlled by our Netherworld God Cult. Regarding those bandits, I, the Netherworld God Cult, will not care about those bandits this time, but it may not matter next time."
After the mysterious man finished speaking, the entire banquet hall fell into a dead silence.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the sudden appearance of the Nether Messenger, and their hearts were filled with shock and confusion.
Luo Yunfeng's face was even more solemn. He knew that the power of the Netherworld Cult was huge, and the power behind it was enough to make the entire Bluestone City tremble.
Luo Yao stood up, faced the Nether Messenger with firm eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Why does the Nether Cult control the bandits to invade Qingshi City? We have no enmity with you, why are we forcing each other like this?"
< br>
The Nether Messenger smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in that smile, as if it could freeze a person's soul.
"Mr. Luo, some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Bluestone City is located in a strategic location and is rich in resources. It will naturally arouse the covetousness of various forces. The Netherworld Divine Sect is just one of them."
When Luo Yao heard this, he was filled with anger, but he suppressed it and did not get angry. He knew that it was definitely not a wise move to confront the Nether Messenger head-on at this time.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible: "So, what is the purpose of the Nether Messenger coming here?"
The Nether Messenger slowly walked to the center of the banquet hall, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Luo Yunfeng.
"Lord City Lord, I, the Netherworld Cult, have no ill intentions towards Bluestone City. I just hope to establish closer ties with Bluestone City in the days to come."
"As for those bandits, they are just flags."
When Luo Yunfeng heard this, his brows furrowed. He knew that the Netherworld Cult's intention was definitely not that simple.
But he also understood that it was not appropriate to break up with the Netherworld Cult at this time, so he could only endure it for the time being.
"This city lord has written down the words of the Nether Messenger. But Bluestone City is the place that our Luo family has protected for generations, and we will never give it to others easily."
The Nether Messenger smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised by Luo Yunfeng's answer.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the City is serious. The Netherworld Cult has no intention of occupying Bluestone City."
"I just hope that in the future, Qingshi City can give us some support at critical moments."
When Luo Yao heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart. (End of chapter)
