The wind had died down a bit by noon. As Yi Feng walked past the desert shrubs, he saw vultures flying chaotically overhead, their screeching piercing the sky and drowning out the sound of the wind.
A snake slithered out of the sandy soil, flicking its tongue as it crawled towards Yi Feng.
Yi Feng looked down and was startled to see it was a mutated desert viper. He recognized this snake - it was extrely venomous. Carefully, he used a stick to sweep the snake away. "Get lost, or I'll kill you," he warned.
After chasing away the snake, Yi Feng walked a few steps forward. Only then did he see a person waving their arms to drive away the vultures swarming beneath.
The person was now covered in blood from the vultures' attacks, swaying unsteadily. It seed the vultures were so hungry they couldn't wait for the person to die before trying to eat them.
Anyone on this Dark Shadow Island should be an immortal. Yet here, immortals were no different from mortals in their abilities, allowing these beasts to bully them!
Seeing this, Yi Feng was instantly filled with a sense of justice. Helping others was his life's motto!
Of course, it would be even better if he could earn so Fortune Points along the way... after all, he was helping soone.
Yi Feng took off his wolf pelt and rushed forward, waving it to drive away the vultures. When the fierce birds tried to attack him, he swatted them dead with the pelt.
He swung the pelt again and again! After a few swings, dead vultures littered the ground. The rest, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, flew off to perch nearby and watch.
Having chased away the vultures, Yi Feng looked at the blood-covered man who had collapsed from exhaustion.
"Are you alright, brother?" Yi Feng asked. Looking at the man gasping for breath and covered in blood, Yi Feng imdiately realized his question was inappropriate.
So he changed his words: "You don't look so good... Would you like to co rest at my place for a few days?"
The man shook his head and replied in a hoarse, weak voice, "Thank you for saving , but I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your kindness."
"No need for repaynt. Helping those in need is my principle in life," Yi Feng said politely.
As he spoke, he tilted his ear, hoping to hear the system's voice pop up - sothing like "500 Fortune Points awarded for helping others."
After a while, there was nothing.
The man looked up at the vultures in the distance, their eyes full of murderous intent.
"I'm grateful for your desire to help , but you should leave quickly," he said. "You see those vultures? They're waiting for to die."
"If you try to take with you, you'll beco exhausted. Once you're tired, those vultures will swarm us both and devour us," the man explained. "Please, go quickly."
"What will happen to you if I leave?" Yi Feng hadn't ruled out the possibility of leaving.
After all, he'd waited a while and hadn't heard the system's voice awarding any Fortune Points in his head.
This made him realize that acts of kindness like this couldn't earn Fortune Points.
"If one leaves, one survives," the man said, his gaze desperate and sorrowful. "If they eat and satisfy their hunger, you won't be in danger."
The man urged, looking at Yi Feng, "Please, go now!"
"The way you talk..." Yi Feng muttered, putting his clothes back on. "Although it doesn't move , the fact that you can say such things shows you're soone who repays kindness with virtue."
As he spoke, he helped the man to his feet. "I'll take you with ."
A red-eyed black snake with a flicking tongue was getting closer and closer. It moved beneath the sand, making it difficult to detect.
"Don't worry, I'll kill these vultures one by one if they co," Yi Feng said as he supported the man, preparing to leave. "Forget these vultures - even if a pack of wolves ca, I could keep you safe."
The man suddenly pushed Yi Feng away. He stared at the wolf pelt on Yi Feng's body, his eyes widening in shock.
"Is that a wolf pelt?!" he exclaid in disbelief, then looked up at Yi Feng seriously.
"Did you kill it?"
"Who else?" Yi Feng replied calmly. He patted the wolf pelt on his body. "I'm not bragging, but I have a pile of these at ho. They're too smoky even for kindling."
The man knew very well what Shadow Wolves ant on this island!
To be able to hunt the pack leader, one must use spiritual power. To use spiritual power on the Dark Shadow Island and remain unhard...
He had never heard of such a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm!
"My na is Feng Jiang. May I ask for your esteed na?" the man asked respectfully, struggling to stand straight despite his lack of strength.
"I am Yi Feng," Yi Feng replied, returning the bow.
"Yi Feng..." Feng Jiang muttered to himself. Suddenly, sothing occurred to him, and he looked at Yi Feng with wide eyes. "Yi Feng?! Are you THE Mr. Yi?!"
Recently in the Immortal Realm, a new force had erged. Wherever this force went, even the most powerful immortals submitted.
This force swept through the various regions of the Immortal Realm like a storm, and all immortals in those areas had heard of their na.
But they were rely disciples of Mr. Yi, the master of the Heaven and Earth Sect on the Immortal River Continent.
As for who Mr. Yi was - his surna was Yi, and his given na was simply Feng.
After the shock in Feng Jiang's eyes ca the joy of encountering an incredible opportunity. He montarily forgot about his injuries, filled with excitent.
"Oh? Are you from my hotown? You know ?" Yi Feng was also surprised and delighted. He knew how rare it was to et soone in this godforsaken place.
eting soone from his hotown was even more unlikely!
"Of course!" Feng Jiang exclaid joyfully. "Who wouldn't know the great na of Mr. Yi! The master of the Heaven and Earth Sect on the Immortal River Continent!"
Indeed a fellow countryman, Yi Feng's face also lit up with joy.
"So you really are from the Immortal River Continent. Where did you hear about ?" Yi Feng asked proudly. "Brother Feng, are you perhaps from Pingjiang City?"
It was worth noting that since becoming a Martial Emperor, he had been flying over Pingjiang City every day.
Given how much this man seed to admire him... he must be from Pingjiang City.
"It seems you don't know about your..."
Before Feng Jiang could say the word "disciple," he suddenly clenched his teeth and sharply inhaled.
Then he collapsed face-first...
Yi Feng was stunned. He quickly went to check on him, when suddenly a shadow shot out from under Feng Jiang's body like an arrow, heading straight for him!
Yi Feng reacted swiftly, grabbing the shadow and throwing it away. Only then did he see it was a familiar snake.
Ah... it was that mutated desert viper he had chased away earlier!
In that split second, he jumped up and stomped on it, then jumped and stomped again and again!
Although his cultivation might be lacking, when it ca to martial arts, he was system-certified to be on par with the gods!
Yi Feng gritted his teeth, continuing until there was nothing but a bloody ss under his foot. Only then did he stop, panting.
"What a pity..." he looked at Feng Jiang's corpse lying on the ground. "I just t a brother, not only from my hotown of Pingjiang City, but also impressed by my abilities. And in the blink of an eye, he's gone."
"What a sha..."
Yi Feng let out a long sigh, filled with deep regret.
