Chapter 18: Helping Others
A dark red vortex hung in the sky, and the reflection of the red light made the entire wasteland look even more weird and bloody.

Li Ye did not go directly to the center, but planned to walk around the central area to see if he could meet other people and help them.

He asked everyone to stay where they were and not move, and he would be back soon.

After a while, Li Ye heard rumbling thunder, flashing dazzling purple light, and the evil spirits' shrill wails that continued incessantly.

"Purple lightning? Is that Sun Zhantian?" Li Ye thought to himself, and then sped up and rushed towards the place where the thunder was flashing.

Sun Zhantian was seen wearing strange purple boxing gloves. Tiny purple lightning made crackling sounds and flashed on the surface of the gloves. She kept swinging her fists. Every time she swung a punch, there was a flash of lightning accompanied by a roar of thunder. Between the lightning and thunder, countless evil spirits were reduced to ashes.

“Tsk tsk, he is worthy of being the future Thunder Emperor. That purple boxing glove should be the artifact Great Wilderness Purple Lightning that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Sun family.”

Li Ye also saw several people following Sun Zhantian and thought, "It is true."

Li Ye moved closer to Sun Zhantian and shouted, "Sun Zhantian, do you need my help?"

Sun Zhantian's expression turned cold, and he replied, "No need, I have nothing to do with you."

"Oh, then you take care of yourself. I'm leaving first. Remember to go to the central vortex when you're done." Li Ye was not surprised by her refusal. He could only sigh, "What a strong woman!" Then he left and continued to search for other people.

After walking forward for a while, he felt the temperature dropping continuously, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the cold was biting to the bone.

"It should be Liu Yuchan. After all, he is the Ice Boy. He is probably the only ice-attributed spirit host who can create such an effect here." Li Ye thought for a while and rushed towards the source of the cold.

It was indeed Liu Yuchan, a white-haired young man with a smile on his face, but a biting cold was lingering around him. Countless evil spirits were frozen into ice cubes under the boundless cold, and then shattered into ice chips.

Liu Yuchan also noticed Li Ye and said with a smile, "Master Li is here too."

"It seems you don't need help, so I'll leave first." Li Ye greeted Liu Yuchan, then turned and left.

"Boss Li, take care. The situation is special, so I won't see you off." Liu Yuchan then waved to Li Ye.

"Don't worry, just remember to go to the central vortex later." Li Ye replied to Liu Yuchan casually without even turning his head.

Not long after leaving, Li Ye noticed a shrill roar coming from the front, and then countless evil spirits and ferocious beasts gathered towards the place where the roar came from.

"Has something happened? I'll go and take a look. Besides, there are so many evil spirits and ferocious beasts. Killing them all will also give me a lot of points." Li Ye thought about it and immediately decided to go to the place where the evil spirits gathered.

Li Ye sped along and saw several girls surrounded by evil spirits and ferocious beasts. However, the girls were not too panicked or frightened. They were all on high alert and focused on dealing with the evil spirits in front of them.

The girl in the lead had a youthful, flawless, and extremely beautiful face, and eyes that sparkled like stars.

Her unmade-up face was smooth and white, with a rosy complexion, willow-like eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. Her hair was combed into a high ponytail. She wore a light cream-colored shirt and blue jeans, and she was graceful and elegant despite her youth.

She is so beautiful at such a young age. I wonder how stunning she will be when she grows up.

Even Li Ye couldn't help but sigh when he saw her, thinking that she was truly the darling of the Creator.

Li Ye knew that the girl's name was Li Xianyi and that she had just arrived at the Island of Dead Souls not long ago. She had practiced before coming to the Island of Dead Souls, so this time she took the exam directly with them.

Faced with being surrounded by countless evil spirits, she summoned her own guardian spirit.

"Lee Kwang-pil!"

Li Guangbi was one of the top generals in the middle Tang Dynasty. He was a great contributor to the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion and one of the famous generals who revived the Tang Dynasty. Li Guangbi was resourceful, disciplined his army, and was good at winning by surprise and defeating the enemy with a smaller force.

He is as famous as Guo Ziyi and is known as "Li Guo" in the world. He is praised as "Since the difficult times, only Guangbi has been able to march and command troops, and he is calm, resolute and has strategies, and is the best among generals." He made great contributions to quelling the Anshi Rebellion.

He wrote the military books "General's Law", "Secret Strategies for Commanding the Army" and "Military Records of Li Linhuai", and was posthumously named "Wu Mu" and was known as "Li Wu Mu".

Li Ye felt a little excited. Her guardian spirit was Li Guangbi. Could he try to get her to join? As a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, he had a special feeling for the famous generals and ministers of the Tang Dynasty. He even wanted to gather all the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty to see how much impact they would have when they gathered together.

Several other girls also summoned their own guardian spirits. As students in the genius class, their guardian spirits were not simple.

"Sun Simiao!"

Sun Simiao, a medical scientist and Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, was the author of the medical ethics of traditional Chinese medicine and the great doctor's sincerity. Sun Simiao suffered from many illnesses since childhood, so he was determined to learn medical knowledge. He began to practice medicine in the countryside when he was young. He advocated and practiced the medical ethics of "great doctor's sincerity" to treat patients equally, regardless of their wealth, age, enemies, relatives, friends, etc. He responded to all requests and went to rescue them wholeheartedly regardless of wind, rain, cold, heat, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, and achieved good treatment results, which made him deeply respected by the masses.

He compiled the "Prescriptions for Emergencies Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces" and "Wonderful Prescriptions for a Thousand Gold Pieces", which reflected the development level of medicine in the early Tang Dynasty. In his later years, he also presided over the completion of the world's first national pharmacopoeia "Tang Xin Bencao".

"Hua Mulan!"

Hua Mulan is a heroine in ancient China. She was loyal, filial, chaste and righteous. She joined the army on behalf of her father to defeat the invading nation and her deeds have been passed down through the ages. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty posthumously conferred her the title of "General Xiaolie".

"Guo Ziyi!"

Guo Ziyi was one of the top generals in the middle Tang Dynasty and the first general in the Tang Dynasty's revival. He put down the Anshi Rebellion and was known as the "Re-creator of the Tang Dynasty". He recovered Hedong and Hebei, recovered the two capitals, put down the mutiny in Hezhong, drove back the Hehe tribe alone, and defeated Tubo.

He was granted the title of Prince of Fenyang and posthumously named Zhongwu. After Emperor Dezong of Tang ascended the throne, he was honored as "Shangfu" and promoted to the position of Taiwei and Zhongshu Ling. After his death, he was awarded the title of Taishi and posthumously named "Zhongwu". He was honored in the ancestral temple of the Tang Dynasty and buried in Jianling.

"Yang Ye!"

Yang Ye, originally named Chonggui, was given the name Liu Jiye by Emperor Taizu of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Chong. He was from Xinqin, Linzhou. He was the son of Yang Hongxin, the governor of Linzhou in the Later Han Dynasty. He was a famous general in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

Yang Ye defended Daizhou for a long time and resisted the invasion of Liao Dynasty. He made many military achievements and was called "Liu Wudi" at that time. Yang Ye surrendered to Song Dynasty with the Northern Han leader and became the General of the Left Guard and the Defense Envoy of Zhengzhou. Later, he served as the governor of Daizhou and the commander of the troops stationed in Sanjiao. The following year, he defeated the Liao army in the Battle of Yanmen Pass, killed the governor and the imperial attendant Xiao Duli, and captured the commander of the cavalry and infantry army Li Chonghai alive. He was promoted to the Yunzhou Observation Envoy for his merits.

He is also the father of Yang Jiajiang and the father of Yang Jiaqilang.

There is a poem that goes: "Han's flying general Xiongbi fought to the death in Yanshan to protect our teacher; his prestige and reputation were not known to the enemy, and his temple is still standing at Yanmen Pass." "When the arrows were exhausted, the soldiers were dead and the fighting power was broken, the horses could not return to Chenjia Valley. Li Ling's monument became a great loyalty, and travelers throughout the ages have been moved by it."

The girl who summoned Sun Simiao was named Sun Xiaoxiao, the girl who summoned Hua Mulan was named Hua Ling, the girl who summoned Guo Ziyi was named Guo Yuzhu, and the girl who summoned Yang Ye was named Yang Yuechan.

The five people's guardian spirits are all top-notch human martial spirits, all of them are A-level guardian spirits.

All five of them have outstanding looks and are rare beauties.

The five men started fighting against the evil spirits. Li Ye did not hesitate and summoned Li Cunxiao to join the battlefield.

Li Cunxiao was too powerful. As soon as he joined the battle, he attracted the attention of everyone in the audience. Li Cunxiao's terrifying aura made the low-level evil spirits unable to move, and the stronger evil spirits also felt fear and terror.

Li Cunxiao's joining made the originally tense and stalemate battle situation instantly become one-sided. The six guardian spirits slaughtered the evil spirits one-sidedly, and the evil spirits had no room for resistance at all.

"So strong!"

The five girls exclaimed in unison as they looked at Li Cunxiao, who looked like a Shura killer god.

Soon, the six guardian spirits cleaned up the battlefield and all the evil spirits were slaughtered.

"Why did you save us?" Li Xianyi blinked her bright eyes, because in her opinion, they had no intersection or connection with Li Ye.

"If I tell you that I am willing to help others and that I will draw my sword to help when I see injustice, do you believe me?" Li Ye smiled innocently.

"I don't believe it." Li Xianyi shook her head without thinking.

"Well, I saved you because you guys look good." Li Ye coughed twice, looked at the girls in front of him, and spoke softly.

"I guess not. Your eyes tell me that you have other reasons." Li Xianyi still shook her head.

"Okay then, I won't pretend anymore. I just want you to follow me and join my team!" Li Ye said with a serious face and expression.

"Join you? What do you want to do?" Li Xianyi asked calmly.

"Have I told you before that my surname is Li, the Li as in Li Shimin? You are a smart man. What do you think I want to do?" Li Ye said slowly with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to...?" Li Xianyi was a little surprised and asked hesitantly.

"That's right, I want to dominate the underworld and establish a new order in the underworld!" Li Ye paused, looked at Li Xianyi and the other four with burning eyes, and continued: "So, are you willing to join me?"
