With the cooperation of the Illusion Demon Mask and the Shadow Beast, Lu Heng temporarily turned his appearance back to what he looked like in his previous life.
This way, he could effectively avoid being captured by the nurous street caras.
After all, he ca down the mountain under the pretense of treating an illness.
If he were to be recognized by acquaintances, it would be quite awkward.
Lu Heng strolled around the city district of Dragon Tiger City alone for a while.
This was the first ti since his rebirth that he had ti to familiarize himself with this parallel world.
"Tingting, there’s a newly opened hotpot restaurant on West City Street, and I’ve heard the taste is quite good."
"Why don’t we go and try it?"
Lu Heng had just finished tasting so snacks from a specialty store when he stepped out the door and suddenly heard a sowhat familiar voice.
Turning his head, he saw four young people, two n and two won, walking past him.
He was familiar with these four youths.
Because they were the sa four college students he t at the Seeking Immortality Temple.
Compared to the last eting, Song Tingting hadn’t changed much and still looked gentle and lovely.
Liu Rui, however, had lost quite a bit of weight, looking more beautiful.
Zhao Shuo was the sa as ever, chatting non-stop like a chatterbox.
But the biggest change among the four was He Ming.
The cross on his chest was gone, and he appeared more composed, with none of his previous arrogance.
It seed that the incident in the air-raid shelter had indeed matured him quite a bit.
"By the way, have you heard? The Immortal Taoist on Douhu Live is said to be at Shangqing Tao on Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
Zhao Shuo said mysteriously.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rui imdiately showed a curious expression.
"Of course it’s true!"
"This information was leaked by an insider from the Douhu company, so it can’t be fake, right?"
Zhao Shuo confidently said, "I’m telling you, it won’t be long before Shangqing Tao will get popular again!"
"I rember Shangqing Tao has an ’Immortal’, right?"
"What’s the relationship between this ’Immortal’ and the Immortal Taoist?"
"Could they be the sa person?"
He Ming suddenly asked.
"I rember during the live broadcast, the Immortal Taoist denied that."
"But the majority of viewers believe just like you do."
"After all, no matter how amazing Shangqing Tao is, it can’t produce two Immortals at the sa ti, right?"
Zhao Shuo shrugged, agreeing with He Ming.
"The Taoist Qingfeng we t last ti was from Shangqing Tao, wasn’t he?"
Song Tingting said softly.
"Yes!"
Liu Rui nodded and added, "We said before we would go to Shangqing Tao to thank him, but after He Ming was discharged, our school and parents punished us."
"How about we find so ti to visit Dragon Tiger Mountain this weekend?"
Song Tingting suggested.
He Ming and the other two nodded in agreent upon hearing this.
As the four spoke, the roar of an engine suddenly caught their ears.
They instinctively turned their heads, only to see a red sports car speeding towards them.
He Ming and Zhao Shuo, who were walking at the front, didn’t have ti to react before the sports car was right in front of them.
It seed that in the next second, they would be hit and sent flying.
In this critical mont, soone suddenly reached out and grabbed their collars.
With a powerful tug from behind, He Ming and Zhao Shuo were pulled back, narrowly avoiding the sports car.
[System Prompt: The host has successfully altered the Heavenly Dao and is absorbing Life Span. Please check later...]
Who else could have rescued them but Lu Heng?
After saving He Ming and Zhao Shuo, the Celestial Destiny System imdiately sent a prompt.
He summoned the system interface for a glance and saw the Life Span had increased by 8 points.
It seed that if it weren’t for his intervention, He Ming and Zhao Shuo would have ended up seriously injured, if not dead.
"Tha... thank you..."
Zhao Shuo finally ca to his senses, his voice trembling as he tried to express his gratitude.
But before he could finish his "thank you", a loud "boom" was heard as the red sports car rear-ended a black sedan.
The sudden accident left the pedestrians on both sides of the street stunned.
"Thank you so much, big brother!"
"If you hadn’t pulled them just now, they would both be in trouble!"
Liu Rui imdiately stepped forward to thank Lu Heng.
"Big brother, thank you!"
He Ming and Zhao Shuo also expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
The sudden incident was too overwhelming for them to react promptly.
If they hadn’t been pulled back, given the speed of the red sports car, they might have been critical by now.
As they expressed their gratitude, they took a closer look at their savior.
He seed to be around 27 or 28, with fairly average looks and nothing particularly distinctive.
Yet it was this seemingly ordinary passerby who saved their lives at a critical mont!
Their gratitude was beyond words.
"It was just a small matter!"
Lu Heng laughed heartily, unconcerned.
Even if he didn’t know the two personally, he would have still reached out to help any stranger in a similar situation.
"Quick... save them!"
After the black sedan was rear-ended, it first emitted white smoke and then caught fire with raging flas.
"Be more careful when crossing the street in the future!"
Lu Heng patted their shoulders and then ran towards the accident site.
The fire was growing bigger, gradually consuming the whole car.
Although so people were trying to put out the fire with extinguishers, the flas were too intense, and the onlookers didn’t dare to approach.
Without hesitation, Lu Heng rushed in.
The scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.
Charging into such fierce flas, was he not afraid for his life?
What if he couldn’t rescue anyone and put himself in danger?
But soon, they saw him carrying two people out of the blazing fire.
"Young man, aweso!"
A middle-aged man in the crowd couldn’t help but shout.
Other pedestrians joined in applause.
A hero who steps up in tis of crisis deserves everyone’s respect!
After Lu Heng laid the two injured individuals on the ground, the system prompt sounded again.
Both individuals were unconscious, with severe burns covering their bodies.
The situation was dire.
In comparison, the owner of the red sports car, though bleeding, wasn’t as severely injured.
He had jumped out of the car right after the crash, managing to avoid the flas.
Song Tingting, He Ming, and the others stood among the crowd, looking at Lu Heng with respect and admiration as he returned.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
"Damn it! You caused this ss and still want to leave?"
"Stay right there! Do you think you can just run off?"
A new argunt erupted among the crowd.
It turned out the sports car owner was trying to slip away but was stopped by several justice-driven n.
"I only hit a couple of people. No big deal!"
"I have money; I’ll just compensate them!"
"I’m exhausted and need to go ho and sleep, so let through..."
The sports car owner, about 25 or 26 years old, nonchalantly comnted as he yawned, facing the blocking crowd.
