Although Qin Hanchu was at the Immortal Saint realm, he was still only one person.
The opponent's numbers and strength far surpassed their own, and one Immortal Saint could not help them turn the tide.
"Who says I'm alone?" Qin Hanchu continued to send a telepathic message to the woman.
Upon hearing this, the masked woman's tone became more joyful: "As long as senior can help us overcome this difficulty, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"Alright, it's a deal." After reaching an agreement with the masked woman, Qin Hanchu looked at the bandit leader in front of him: "Words can bring trouble. Don't be so arrogant next time!"
"What do you mean?" The bandit leader had a bad feeling.
Qin Hanchu first launched a fierce attack, forcing the bandit leader back. Then, he summoned Axiang, the Silver Moon Azure Wolf, and the Purple Eyed Demonic Lion.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Hanchu had three more Immortal Saints!
"Damn it!"
This scene scared the bandit leader so much that sweat beaded on his forehead.
He hadn't expected Qin Hanchu's World Immortal Artifact to hide three Immortal Saints.
With Axiang and the two immortal beasts joining the fray, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed.
The masked woman was overjoyed.
"Brother, I was presumptuous earlier."
"You don't need to interfere in this matter."
"As long as you choose to stand by and watch, I can offer you some benefits."
The bandit leader hadn't expected his words to cause such a turn of events.
This mission was very important, and he didn't want his words to cause the mission to fail.
Because of this, he quickly tried to negotiate with Qin Hanchu.
"I'm sorry, I've already reached an agreement with this lady. You're too late!"
As Qin Hanchu spoke, Axiang had already led the two immortal beasts into the fray.
With the addition of Axiang and the other two, the situation immediately changed.
The Silver Moon Azure Wolf charged through the ranks of Immortal Venerables, injuring many of the bandit Immortal Venerables.
"Damn it! Retreat!"
The bandit leader knew he had lost his chance. If they continued to linger, his men would suffer heavy losses.
Under his command, the group quickly retreated.
"I remember you. This matter will not end so easily."
Leaving behind a harsh threat, the bandit leader quickly fled with his subordinates.
Axiang, along with the two immortal beasts, returned to Qin Hanchu's side. She asked curiously, "What's going on?"
The time was too short, and Qin Hanchu had only told Axiang to come and assist.
That's why Axiang asked about the events.
Seeing Axiang's question, Qin Hanchu explained the situation.
"This guy, why did he have to curse you for no reason?" After hearing the story, Axiang couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Hanchu waved his hand, and the Silver Moon Azure Wolf and the Purple Eyed Demonic Lion were collected back into the Divine Province Great World.
"Thank you both, seniors, for your assistance."
The masked woman, accompanied by her guards, came before Qin Hanchu and the other two, and said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Just settle the reward you promised me."
Qin Hanchu knew that this woman's identity was not simple, which was why he asked for benefits.
The woman smiled: "Of course. What kind of benefits do you desire, senior? Resources or spirit crystals?"
"Resources for the five laws: life and death, truth and falsehood, reincarnation, change, and light."
The resources for the Purple Firmament Immortal Thunder law were too precious, so Qin Hanchu did not want to appear greedy, thus he didn't mention it.
"No problem, it's just that I don't have these resources with me."
"How about this: you both return home with me, and I'll have my father prepare the resources for you."
Qin Hanchu looked at Axiang: "Wife, what do you think?"
Axiang nodded: "Alright."
"Seniors, please get in the carriage!"
At the woman's invitation, Qin Hanchu and Axiang got into the carriage.
The guards surrounded the carriage again, and then flew towards the distance.
"Leader, what do we do now?"
"The City Lord will definitely blame us."
In the distance, the previous bandits watched the location of the recent battle.
The bandit leader's face was grim: "It's my responsibility. I will report everything to the City Lord. Let's go!"
...
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"Ahead is Luohai City!"
In the carriage, the masked woman pointed to the city faintly visible in the distance.
Along the way, Qin Hanchu and the other two had learned the masked woman's identity.
Her name was Luo Yunxia, and her father was the City Lord of Luohai City.
In the Great Desolate Main Realm, City Lords were like feudal lords.
The City Lord of each city had absolute management power, and they only needed to pay tribute regularly.
Qin Hanchu simply nodded, not saying much.
Luo Yunxia smiled: "Seniors, would you be interested in settling down in Luohai City? If you have this idea, I can ask my father to grant you official positions."
"Thank you, Miss Luo. My husband and I prefer to travel around," Axiang politely declined.
Luo Yunxia: "It's alright. I respect the choices of you two seniors."
A moment later, the group landed at the entrance of the City Lord's mansion.
Seeing Luo Yunxia alight from the carriage, the guards of the City Lord's mansion quickly bowed: "Greetings, Miss."
Luo Yunxia nodded slightly, then said to Qin Hanchu and the other two: "Seniors, please."
Led by Luo Yunxia, the two of them entered the City Lord's mansion together.
"Seniors, please rest here first. I will go and meet my father."
After bringing Qin Hanchu and the other two to the reception hall, Luo Yunxia turned and walked out.
After Luo Yunxia left, Axiang picked up the tea delivered by the maid and said, "What are your plans now?"
Qin Hanchu: "After receiving the reward, we'll head to the Eastern Extreme Region and see if we can find some Thunder God Wood."
"Then I'll accompany you on your journey during this time, so you won't be bored alone," Axiang smiled.
While the two were chatting, Luo Yunxia walked into City Lord Luo's room.
"Yunxia is back." City Lord Luo put down the brush in his hand; he was practicing calligraphy at the moment.
Luo Yunxia nodded first, then said: "We were ambushed on the way back."
"What? Are you injured?" City Lord Luo was shocked and asked with concern.
Luo Yunxia: "The other party was numerous. If not for the intervention of two seniors, I'm afraid I would have been captured."
"It's good that you're alright. Where are those two? I must thank them properly."
City Lord Luo cared deeply for Luo Yunxia. Upon learning that Qin Hanchu and the other two had saved his daughter, he immediately expressed his desire to reward them handsomely.
"They are in the reception hall," Luo Yunxia said. "He already said he wants resources for the five laws: life and death, truth and falsehood, reincarnation, change, and light."
"Did you offer the reward yourself, or did he ask for it?" City Lord Luo asked with a frown.
Luo Yunxia recounted the entire incident.
"Why did he get into a fight with the bandits?" City Lord Luo continued to ask.
Luo Yunxia replied: "The bandit leader spoke disrespectfully to him and told him to scram."
City Lord Luo fell silent: "Could these two be in league with the enemy?"
Luo Yunxia was stunned: "That's unlikely. Are you perhaps overthinking it?"
"Let's go, I'll have a talk with them."
City Lord Luo, along with Luo Yunxia, headed to the reception hall.
