Chapter 54: The World Is Filled with Murderous Intent
"What's going on?"
Li Fan's water mirror technique was shattered in shock.
His mind was buzzing and he fell into a moment of confusion.
After a while, Li Fan slowly regained his composure.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this "Thousand Machine Jade World Gold Chapter"?"
His first reaction was that there was something wrong with this technique.
The so-called "distinguishing opportunities" may no longer be applicable in the world of immortal cultivation after the great changes in the world.
After all, Li Fan is currently in the island protection formation of Tai'an Island.
And Tai'an Island is in the central area of Congyun Sea, which is covered by the power of Wanxian League.
It has been safe and sound before, how could it be that a disaster is coming after a closed door?
However, sensing the strong death aura around him, Li Fan could not convince himself so easily.
The uneasiness in his heart gradually became stronger.
Li Fan made a prompt decision. Whether it was true or false, he would go to Wanxian Island to avoid the disaster first.
So he immediately planned to open the teleportation array and go to Wanxian Island.
But what made him feel depressed was that the teleportation array did not respond!
Li Fan's face was a little gloomy.
He took out the communication talisman that He Zhenghao gave him and tried to contact He Zhenghao.
The spiritual energy input still did not respond!
It was obvious that some strange changes had indeed occurred.
Staying on Tai'an Island was a dead end, and we could not sit and wait for death!
Li Fan summoned Taiyanzhou and took out the "Congyunhai Atlas" to drive the flying boat over.
The spiritual stones that Taiyanzhou originally used as power were almost consumed. Fortunately, when Li Fan was shopping spree before, there were a lot of spiritual stones in the "Must-have Set for Solo Monks".
Li Fan estimated that it would take about two or three months to fly from Tai'an Island to Wanxian Island.
The spiritual stones were definitely enough.
At that moment, Li Fan no longer cared about the task of guarding the island, and drove the flying boat directly, ready to leave.
Just when Taiyanzhou was about to fly out of the island protection formation, Li Fan suddenly realized the endless murderous intent from the outside world.
It was like thousands of sharp swords, spreading between heaven and earth.
Li Fan's heartbeat stopped suddenly, and he stopped Taiyanzhou immediately.
His premonition told him that as long as he left the island protection formation, he would die!
Li Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the calm sea, not knowing where the crisis came from.
In the end, Li Fan chose not to take the risk.
He put away Taiyanzhou and prepared to ask the mortals on the island what had happened recently.
And when his spiritual sense swept across the entire island, he was shocked again.
It turned out that one-third of the residents of the entire island were gone.
And the rest all became pale and thin for some reason, as if they had not eaten for a long time.
Knowing that something extraordinary must have happened during his retreat, Li Fan's face was gloomy, and he flew to the residence of the island owner of Tai'an Island.
Since acting as the garrison commander, Li Fan has been in seclusion and has not paid much attention to the mundane affairs of the island.
He has only met the island owner a few times.
When the island owner saw Li Fan, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and wailing.
"Master, please have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy on me, please save us!"
The island owner cried bitterly, and his head was bleeding.
"What happened? Tell me quickly!" Li Fan's face was extremely gloomy.
"Master, I really can't live like this. It hasn't rained for more than half a year. The fresh water and food on the island have almost been consumed. If this continues, everyone will starve to death!" The island owner kowtowing and crying.
"Hasn't it rained for half a year?" Li Fan remembered what Zhang Haobo said to him a few years ago.
"Drought is coming again. But why did I ask Tianxuan Mirror before, and the answer I got was that no major changes would happen? Doesn't Tianxuan Mirror take drought of this scale seriously?"
The island owner continued to cry: "All the fish in the near sea have been caught. The weather is too hot. None of the fishing fleets in the far sea can come back alive. We are really starving to death! Master, please be merciful and save us!"
Li Fan was annoyed by this person's shouting, and when he saw that this person had become a little thinner but still full of fat, he was furious: "Half of the mortals on the island starved to death, why haven't I seen you lose weight?"
The island owner's face turned pale and was about to explain.
Li Fan was furious after his spiritual sense swept around the kitchen in the island owner's mansion.
Without waiting for the island owner to speak, he slapped him into a pulp.
"You are just sitting there doing nothing, you deserve to die!"
Li Fan snorted coldly and used the power of the formation to transmit the message to the whole island.
"The island owner has been killed by me. The rest of the people in charge, please come to the island owner's mansion to see me!"
After a while, several mortals came to Li Fan tremblingly.
Li Fan saw that they also looked hungry, so he suppressed his murderous intent.
Amid the tears and complaints of these people, Li Fan finally understood what had happened during his year of seclusion.
The drought started half a year ago.
At first, it didn't rain for many days, and no one took it seriously.
Until it didn't rain for two months in a row, the people on the island were all panicked.
There is a source of fresh water on the island, but it has gradually dried up after many days without rain.
At first, they could still rely on catching fish near the coast to survive, but as the weather got hotter, no fish could be caught around the island, and after all the fleets that went out never returned, Tai'an Island fell into famine.
In just one month, one third of the population on the island died, and it is unknown how many tragedies had occurred.
The rest were just surviving.
If Li Fan had come out of retreat later, he might not have seen a few living people.
At this point, Li Fan could not stand by and watch the death.
When he left Daxuan, the Taiyan Boat was filled with food except for a few cabins filled with gold and silver treasures.
Originally, it was just prepared out of his cautious habit of exploring the unknown world of immortal cultivation.
Unexpectedly, it was finally put to use after almost ten years.
There was a dust purification array in the Taiyan Boat, so the food would naturally not deteriorate.
Li Fan immediately expanded the Taiyan Boat to its maximum size and ordered the mortals on the island to move some of the food out for emergency.
When the people on the island saw that the immortal master had brought life-saving food, they all knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed continuously.
Li Fan ignored them and let them cheer.
If the food in the Taiyan Boat is eaten sparingly, it should be enough for the people on the island to survive for a few months.
The most important thing is to solve the problem of fresh water.
With water, we can live.
Li Fan came to the main source of fresh water on the island, a medium-sized lake in the center of the island.
There were already special guards around the lake to prevent ordinary people from getting close.
Because it hadn't rained for a long time, the lake had shrunk greatly, only one-tenth of its original size, and it was about to dry up completely.
"When I built the island protection formation, I didn't expect to encounter a water shortage..."
Holding the Tai'an Island Defense Order, Li Fan shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that I still need to build a magic formation to purify the sea water."
