After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
"An immortal?"
When they saw a child carrying Zhao Yunting away on a sword, the two elderly people who had been kneeling on the ground stared wide-eyed.
"Are you immortals?"
One of the elderly women, from surprise to nervousness, trembled and couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
The old man was a little better; he even knew to shout "Immortal!" and kowtow repeatedly.
"Immortal, you must save my son and daughter-in-law!"
“Our family has always relied on my son and daughter-in-law for support. If anything were to happen to them, we, young and old, really wouldn’t be able to survive!”
The two kowtowed and begged Lin Xue and the others to save the person.
"Grandpa and Grandma, wow..."
The youngest child, seeing his grandparents in this state, had blood seeping from his forehead in just a few moments.
Perhaps she was startled, because she burst into tears.
"Don't cry, little brother. Our parents are saved. Grandpa and Grandma are so happy!"
"Little brother, come quick! Sisters, come and kowtow to the immortal too!"
From despair to hope, these children could find no other way to express their gratitude but to kowtow.
"Stop hitting yourselves, let's find somewhere to hide from the tsunami!"
Lin Xue gave her little apprentice a wink, and Li Zichen went up and forcefully pulled the person up.
The old and the young had been kneeling there for who knows how long; their bodies were limp, and it would take a lot of effort to lift them up.
"Old man, you should find a place to hide quickly. My senior brother and his men should be able to save your son and daughter-in-law!"
Seeing this scene reminded Li Zichen of his family.
Their parents died at the hands of a demonic cultivator while trying to protect them.
His grandparents held him back desperately, fearing he would rush out and perish together with those demonic cultivators.
Mingming's grandparents were also devastated at the time, and tears never stopped flowing from their eyes.
Seeing these desperate and helpless people of all ages reminded him of his parents' determination to protect them and his grandparents' resilience in not giving up on survival, even when they were heartbroken.
Compared to this family, his family was more resilient to pressure.
However, the two situations are different after all.
If they had been able to escape the massacre by the demonic cultivators, they would have had a chance to survive.
But these people are different. They are on this desolate island and do not have ships capable of venturing into the deep sea, making it extremely difficult for them to leave.
Without someone to take charge, even if these people are alright for a short time, they will face the risk of not surviving if a natural disaster strikes.
Li Zichen had never been to the seaside before and didn't know how these people survived in a place where farming was impossible.
Lin Xue used her mental power to quickly find a hole and stuffed all the old and young people into it.
Then she and her apprentice guarded the cave entrance to prevent seawater from flowing back in.
The other families on the island had also fled to the highest mountain early on and hid in the caves they usually used for disaster relief.
Everyone is waiting for the tsunami to pass, and everyone's eyes are filled with worry.
Then, 629, accompanied by Zhao Yunting, arrived in front of the two couples.
Zhao Yunting carried the couple onto his flying sword, and also put the ship into his storage bag.
They quickly left the area before the tsunami hit them.
Zhao Yunting carried the two of them higher and higher as they flew.
Until I watched the tsunami sweep over the island and then rush further and further away, layer by layer.
"Father, Mother, children!"
The woman, lying on her sword, looked at the island ravaged by the tsunami, tears streaming down her face.
She cried and called out the names of her family members.
"Xiuniang, it's all my fault!"
"You said this morning that you weren't feeling well and wanted to rest for the day, but I insisted on taking you out fishing!"
"I'm so sorry to you, so sorry to our parents and children!"
Although the couple was rescued, they still thought of their elderly parents and children.
They didn't go back before the tsunami hit, and they don't know if their family members will obediently go to the mountains to take refuge.
Their family was already struggling financially. If one of the elderly members of the family had a moment of despair, they probably wouldn't even find a body when they returned.
Thinking of this worst-case scenario, the couple broke down in tears, disregarding their image.
"Don't cry, your family members have been saved by my master!"
"The tsunami has passed, I'll take you back now!"
The couple, who were almost crying themselves to death, immediately stopped crying after hearing Zhao Yunting's words.
They wanted to kowtow to the two immortals a few more times, but now that they were on the flying sword, the space was not large, and they felt dizzy and lightheaded with the slightest movement.
Moreover, they had just cried so hard that their brains were already in a state of semi-oxygen deprivation, and at this moment, even a glance down would make them feel dizzy and lightheaded.
The couple said thank you, but their bodies remained still, maintaining the position of their previous embrace.
I was too heartbroken to realize it before, but now I find myself thousands of meters in the air.
My legs were so weak, my feet were so weak, and my whole body was so limp that I couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Master, Master, where are you?"
Back on the island, Zhao Yunting began to shout loudly.
At the same time, he began to explore the entire island using his mental power.
"Here! Senior Brother, we're here!"
Li Zichen saw from afar that his senior brother and the head steward were bringing the two of them back.
They immediately climbed out of the cave. When the tsunami hit, their master must have put something over the entrance of their cave.
So while the entire island was flooded by seawater, they remained completely dry inside the cave.
Li Zichen's desire to learn about technology grew stronger; his master's treasures were in no way inferior to the protective shields of cultivators.
After all, a cultivator's protective shield can only be applied to himself; even a powerful expert can only protect a limited number of areas.
This technological product is different; as long as there is enough energy, it can provide continuous protection.
"Master, the person has been saved!"
"Are you all alright here?"
After landing on the ground, Zhao Yunting carefully examined his master and junior brother and found that neither of them was in any abnormality, which put his mind at ease.
Then one after another, people of all ages crawled out of the holes in the ground.
The couple, who were exhausted from the high-altitude flight, burst into tears again upon seeing that their family members were safe and sound.
At the same time, the grandfather and his grandchildren also shed tears when they saw the two return safely.
The whole family supported each other and hugged each other, adults and children alike crying together.
Lin Xue and the others didn't want to disturb them, so they could only stand at a distance and wait for these people to calm down.
"Immortal, thank you for saving my parents. I have no way to repay you, but I would like to ask you to come to our home. I am willing to offer you the most delicious food!"
