This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

After leaving Tianshuize, Wang Jingshu casually cast a divination for herself, and the result showed that there were advantages and disadvantages in all directions.

Since that was the case, Wang Jingshu randomly chose a direction and flew away on her sword.

Unlike Li Daoxuan, Wang Jingshu did not want to experience the various aspects of human life, so she did not choose to walk among humans, but instead flew straight ahead on her sword.

It seems they wanted to see just how vast this mysterious world truly was.

She only stops to rest when she gets tired of flying, and she doesn't care where she goes, whether it's deep forests in the mountains or villages and towns.

So in just four or five days, she flew tens of thousands of miles away, almost leaving the territory of Lizhou.

On this day, Wang Jingshu sat on a sword as usual, flying leisurely at a moderate pace.

While passing through a mountain forest, they suddenly heard some unusual noises.

Wang Jingshu looked down and saw a boy running frantically through the mountains and forests.

Not far behind him, a strange beast that looked like a wolf but was covered in armor was chasing him.

Without much thought, Wang Jingshu transformed into a streak of light and plummeted straight down, crashing with a loud bang right between the strange beast and the boy.

The energy dissipated, causing the strange beast to come to an abrupt halt.

Hearing the commotion behind him, the boy couldn't help but stop and turn around to look.

The boy was stunned after just one glance.

Amidst the swaying grass and trees, a graceful figure dressed in a white dress with red patterns stood with her back to him, holding a long sword, blocking the beast that was capable of killing him.

Immediately afterwards, the boy heard the woman speak.

"Leave now, or I'll spare your life..."

The beast, as large as a calf, seemed to know that Wang Jingshu was not someone to be trifled with. It hesitated for a moment, then roared at Wang Jingshu and ran into the deep forest.

Seeing it leave, Wang Jingshu withdrew her gaze and turned around.

The boy stared blankly at her, and the moment he saw Wang Jingshu's face clearly, his mind seemed to go completely blank.

He had never seen such an ethereal and otherworldly woman, not even in paintings.

The boy couldn't even imagine how a person could be born so good-looking.

Even after Wang Jingshu walked up to him, the boy was still in a daze.

Wang Jingshu's eyes shone with a divine light, and she saw through the boy's true nature.

A mere mortal at the first level of the Heavenly Realm who hadn't even mastered true qi seemed to be carrying a spiritual object in his arms, which was probably the reason the strange beast was chasing him.

"Young man, the forest is dangerous; it's best not to venture in."

Wang Jingshu's voice startled the boy awake, and he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Thank you so much, fairy, for saving my life... Thank you..."

At that moment, he no longer had the courage to look up at her.

Wang Jingshu smiled calmly, looked around, and asked:

"Where are you from? I'll take you home."

The boy was overjoyed and quickly replied:

"My home is in Yongxing Town, more than 50 miles east of the mountains."

Wang Jingshu nodded slightly, identified the direction, and then raised her hand. The boy's body flew up and landed on the flying sword.

The boy was filled with fear, but dared not show his fear, and could only force himself to remain calm.

Wang Jingshu gently reminded him:

"Hold on..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Rujian transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

The boy exclaimed in surprise, staggering and nearly falling.

Fortunately, Wang Jingshu had already used her magic to stabilize his body, which prevented him from falling to his death.

Once the flight stabilized, the boy realized that he was actually flying in the sky.

"An immortal...it's an immortal! I've actually encountered an immortal..."

The boy was overjoyed; this was an immortal, an immortal from mythology.

He actually ran into them.

"Since you are an immortal, may I implore you to uphold justice for me?"

The boy was lost in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard Wang Jingshu ask:

"Look, isn't that the Yongxing Town you mentioned?"

The boy was startled, then looked in the direction Wang Jingshu was pointing.

Sure enough, a town was seen sitting on the vast land.

Looking down from above, the houses look like tiny brick boxes, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

"So fast..."

The boy said incredulously.

He then nodded quickly.

"That's right, that's Yongxing Town."

Wang Jingshu didn't speak, but simply touched the ground with her toes, and descended swiftly like a sword.

The boy panicked and his face turned deathly pale.

I got to experience what it feels like to fall from a great height.

After landing safely, the boy still felt dizzy and his legs were weak.

Wang Jingshu looked at her and smiled gently:

"Your cultivation level is insufficient. You shouldn't venture into deep mountains and forests so easily in the future. Go back..."

After saying that, Wang Jingshu turned around and was about to leave.

Upon seeing this, the young man immediately realized that if he let Wang Jingshu leave like this, he would definitely lose a tremendous opportunity.

Ignoring the fact that his blood and qi had not yet recovered, the young man rushed forward, knelt before Wang Jingshu, and kowtowed while begging:

"Immortal... Immortal... I beg you to save my father and seek justice for my family... I beg you..."

Wang Jingshu frowned slightly, looking at the kneeling boy and hesitating for a moment.

She wasn't really interested in getting involved in worldly affairs during this trip.

Having traveled the world for one or two decades in the Jingming Cave, Wang Jingshu knew very well that the situation in the mortal world was far more complicated than she had imagined.

To think that one can accumulate merit by simply relying on one's righteousness is nothing but wishful thinking.

Because often, the people you perceive as the weak and the victims are actually the root of all the conflicts.

It's not that whoever is weaker is right, nor is it that whoever cries the most deserves help.

It involves too many worldly human relationships, right and wrong, grudges, and even morality and law.

Wang Jingshu has traveled the world for so long, she's had enough of these things.

This is completely different from simply helping a boy being chased by a monster; there are too many rights and wrongs that need to be clarified.

However, despite this, Wang Jingshu is, after all, a Daoist of profound wisdom, and since they have already encountered this situation, it would be somewhat unbearable to completely ignore it.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Jingshu took out a Rejuvenation Talisman and handed it to the young man, saying:

"Take this talisman back and burn it. Soak the ashes in water and feed it to your father. If he has any illness, the talisman will naturally cure him."

"As for the rest, there's no need to mention it. Go..."

The boy stared blankly at the talisman in his hand, then looked up at Wang Jingshu, who had already taken to the air. He steeled himself, got up, and chased after her, roaring at the sky:

"Immortal... The Hidden Sword Manor killed my mother and brother, injured my father, and wreaked havoc in the area, committing all sorts of evil deeds in order to seize my family's ancestral treasure..."

"If you are an immortal, why can't you uphold justice for us mortals...?"

Watching the sword light almost disappear into the horizon, the boy's face flushed red. He threw the talisman in his hand to the ground and angrily shouted at the sky:

"God, can't you open your eyes and punish those evil people..."

"Can't we ordinary people just give ourselves a way to survive...?"

The boy collapsed to the ground in despair, his face already streaked with tears.

Recently, my family has suffered a major change, and our once happy and harmonious family has been torn apart in an instant.

Now that I finally see hope, I can only watch it slip away before my eyes.

I was plunged into utter despair, feeling that the world was shrouded in darkness and that there was no hope for the future.

After slumping on the ground and crying for a while, the boy finally wiped away his tears, stood up, picked up the talisman, carefully wiped off the dust, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Regardless, at least I received a talisman bestowed by an immortal.

Since the immortal said he could cure my father, then he definitely can.

In short, survival is the priority; revenge can wait...
