This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The entire audience fell silent at the sight before them.

Only their uncontrollable heartbeats betrayed the fear in their hearts.

Finally, someone reacted and shouted:

"run..."

In an instant, the group of chivalrous heroes who had come seeking fame and fortune no longer cared about saving face or possessing treasures, and began to run for their lives.

"He annihilated Zheng San without even moving; Zheng San was a master of the Second Heaven..."

"That person must have cultivated true qi, and might even be a legendary expert at the upper three levels of the Refining Spirit Realm..."

"Run! If he catches up, we're all going to die..."

In the eyes of ordinary people in the martial arts world, someone who has reached the third level of mastery is already considered a formidable expert. If they can cultivate true qi, they can be considered a powerful figure in their own right.

As for levels above the seventh level, they are simply legends in the eyes of those at the bottom of the martial arts world.

I only knew that such a master existed, but I had never seen him.

After all, the strongest members of most martial arts sects in the world are only at the True Qi Realm.

If a sect can produce even one expert at the seventh level of the Divine Refinement Realm, it is almost certain to catch the eye of the Holy Land and be taken under its wing as an affiliated sect.

Therefore, this is the limit of their imagination.

As for Earth Immortals, Martial Gods, and even Great Emperors, they are just myths in the eyes of most people in the lower echelons of the martial arts world.

The events of today quickly spread through the mouths of these江湖人 (jianghu people, people of the martial arts world).

The arrival of a super-skilled expert who remained motionless near Banyan Tree Village quickly became the talk of the town.

People have made Li Daoxuan seem like a mythical figure.

After Zheng San's incident, the villagers of Rongshu Village also developed a greater fear of Li Daoxuan and dared not approach the low mountain again.

They were afraid that if Li Daoxuan became displeased, they would suffer the same fate as Zheng San.

The hillside, which had been bustling for more than half a month, has finally quieted down.

And just like that, another half month passed.

That night, it snowed heavily.

The entire Banyan Tree Village was covered in snow, except for that low hill where not a single snowflake had fallen.

The snow stopped in the middle of the night.

As the dark clouds dispersed, a full moon hung in the night sky, adding a touch of dreamlike color to the snowy night under the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, a panicked figure ran out of Banyan Tree Village.

She ran hastily up the low hill behind the village, her feet sinking deep into the snow. In the moonlight, she could be vaguely seen to be a young woman.

When they reached the halfway point up the mountain, the woman hesitated noticeably, seemingly unsure of how to proceed.

Just then, a few noisy sounds suddenly came from the distant Banyan Tree Village. Several torches lit up in the village, and people followed the trail left by the woman.

The woman was so frightened that she trembled all over. No longer caring about whether she would offend the immortal, she quickly ran towards the top of the mountain.

Meanwhile, the people behind them had already caught up to the foot of the mountain.

The woman reached the mountaintop and stopped four or five steps away from Li Daoxuan. She knelt down and repeatedly kowtowed, saying:

"Immortal... Immortal... Save me, save me... If I'm captured and taken back, they'll definitely beat me to death..."

Li Daoxuan remained seated motionless, like a statue.

The footsteps behind her grew closer and closer. The woman, pale as a ghost, crawled forward on her knees, begging Li Daoxuan to save her.

She no longer cared whether she would be punished by the immortals like Zheng San and reduced to ashes.

"Immortal, please save me..."

The woman pleaded repeatedly, hoping that Li Daoxuan would intervene.

Just then, a silver light suddenly shone, carrying an astonishingly murderous aura.

"You sorcerer, stop harming people..."

A sword aura, accompanied by a sharp shout, landed between the woman and Li Daoxuan.

Immediately afterwards, a figure swept in from afar at incredible speed, grabbed the woman's waist, and flew backward with her, stopping about four or five zhang away.

Before the woman could react, she heard a clear and pleasant voice in her ear.

"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"

The woman turned her head blankly, her eyes wide with surprise.

Before him stood a stunningly beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth, her brows exuding a heroic and spirited air.

"You...who are you?"

The woman asked with a puzzled look.

The stunningly beautiful woman smiled and said with a hearty expression:

"My name is Nangong Yue, and I specialize in punishing evil and promoting good, and upholding justice."

The woman was completely bewildered.

"Punishing evil and promoting good? Upholding justice?"

Nangong Yue smiled confidently, turned to look at Li Daoxuan sitting cross-legged under the tree, and pointed her long sword at him, saying:

"I heard there's a strange person here who's bewitching the villagers, extorting money, and even taking lives, so I've come here specifically to punish this evildoer..."

Did he hurt you just now?

Only then did the woman realize that this woman named Nangong Yue was actually trying to save her? But why would she need her help?

"There she is, she's there, you bitch, get down here..."

The cursing came from not far away; it was from the villagers who had chased after them from the village.

There were five or six people, each holding a torch.

Their faces looked particularly ferocious in the firelight.

The woman's face immediately contorted with terror upon seeing these people, and she instinctively hid behind Nangong Yue.

"Weren't you going to save me? They're going to kill me, heroine, please save me..."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue pointed her sword at the men without hesitation and said sharply:

"Halt! Take another step forward, and watch out for my sword..."

She was, after all, a martial arts practitioner who had cultivated true qi, and her aura was far beyond what these villagers could match.

The men were immediately stunned and dared not go forward.

He could only curse from a distance:

"Where did this wild girl come from? Mind your own business! That slut is my daughter-in-law, it's none of your concern..."

Nangong Yue hesitated noticeably after hearing this.

She glanced back at the woman, only to see her face filled with terror, as the woman kept explaining:

"No, no... I'm not his daughter-in-law, he kidnapped me. His son beats me every day, I couldn't take it, so I ran away. If they catch me and take me back, they'll definitely beat me to death..."

Seeing her like this, Nangong Yue was furious. She pointed her long sword at the villagers and said:

"You forcibly abducted women and then committed violence against them? You are utterly beasts..."

The villagers were enraged upon hearing this and immediately cursed:

"Where did this little hussy come from? Go and find out, this slut..."

"Pah! Stop talking nonsense and get out of here..."

Nangong Yue ignored the villagers' excuses and roared angrily, channeling her inner energy.

The powerful shockwave, carrying sound waves, crashed down. How could ordinary villagers withstand it? They could only scream and flee in panic, running down the mountain.

Seeing this, Nangong Yue smiled confidently and let out a smug hum.

The woman behind her watched this scene, and the fear in her eyes turned into joy. She thanked Nangong Yue repeatedly.

However, the two women did not notice that there was an extra pair of eyes watching them from behind.

The edges of his pupils shimmered with golden light, as if they could see right through people's hearts.
