Xiao Wu Captured, Intercepting to Rescue

The Dean of Students saw who had arrived and hurried over, greeting them excitedly:

"Young master, what brings you to our Nuoding Academy?"

Jin Lingfeng smiled politely and asked:

"Hello, I'm looking for Xiao Wu."

"Where is she now?"

The Dean of Students sighed and slowly said:

"Three days ago, Xiao Wu suddenly disappeared."

"I sent people to search the entire Nuoding City, but still, there was no trace of her..."

Jin Lingfeng's gaze sharpened, his anxiety immense.

He coldly uttered, "Forgive me!"

"Soul Bone Skill, Devouring Heaven Erosion!"

A beam of light shot out, integrating into the Dean of Students' mind.

Jin Lingfeng searched his memories and found no deception; Xiao Wu had truly disappeared...

After a long while, he reluctantly returned to the carriage, his mood agitated and troubled.

At this moment, Yue Guan couldn't stand it any longer and spoke:

"Holy Son, I know you came to Nuoding Academy to find that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit."

"However, three days ago, the Demon Bear Douluo's grandson, Lu Zheng, came here and captured her, taking her back to Martial Soul City..."

"What? Xiao Wu was captured and taken to Martial Soul City!"

Jin Lingfeng was furious, coldly stating:

"Who on earth leaked Xiao Wu's identity? Damn it!"

Yue Guan, staring into the young man's icy gaze, quickly shook his head and explained:

"Holy Son, I did not leak the information!"

"I'm willing to stake my head on it!"

"Lu Zheng captured that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit to let his father, the son of the Demon Bear Douluo, Lu Han, absorb it to break through to Titled Douluo!"

"They haven't returned to Martial Soul City yet. If we pursue them with all our might, we should be able to intercept them!"

"Chase!"

"Soul Bone Skill, Demonic Crocodile Transfer!"

With a low shout, Jin Lingfeng instantly vanished from his spot, using the Primal Chaos Bead to sense Xiao Wu's aura and track her down...

At this moment, the Holy Dragon Douluo, hidden in the shadows, emerged, his face a mask of bitter helplessness as he muttered to himself:

"If I had known the Holy Son cared so much about that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, I shouldn't have told the Great Priest about this matter and then also told the Demon Bear Douluo."

The third day, afternoon.

In a dense forest, a carriage bearing the emblem of Martial Soul Hall was speeding along.

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up!"

"Giddy up!"

Lu Zheng cracked the whip, his excitement palpable.

Because in just one more day, they would reach Martial Soul City, allowing his father, Lu Han, to absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and break through to Titled Douluo!

Suddenly, a fierce gale swept through the surroundings.

The fine horses were startled, rearing up on their hind legs with neighs of distress, nearly overturning the entire carriage.

When everything returned to normal, a white-clothed youth stood in the middle of the road ahead, his brow etched with boundless fury.

"Damn it, how could I run into him here!"

Lu Zheng's face changed drastically, and he muttered under his breath.

At this moment, Xiao Wu, inside the carriage, sensed Jin Lingfeng's aura and began to ram the surroundings, making sounds to call for help.

Jin Lingfeng's gaze turned cold, his anger reaching its peak at this moment, like a volcanic eruption!

"Lu Zheng, hand over Xiao Wu and get lost!"

The words were domineering, carrying an irrefutable weight as they left the young man's mouth, and he rapidly approached the carriage.

Lu Zheng let out a cold snort, his face looking displeased as he said:

"Jin Lingfeng, I caught this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, what do you think you're doing!"

"Don't think I won't dare to act against you just because you're the Second Worship's grandson!"

He unleashed his Soul Power as a Level 39 Soul Elder, with yellow, yellow, and purple Soul Rings rising beneath his feet, his gaze filled with menace!

Suddenly, Jin Lingfeng stopped.

A cruel, heartless smile flickered across his lips as he berated, "Lu Zheng, I already gave you a chance."

"Since you won't leave, then leave your life behind!"

"Die!"

Jin Lingfeng's figure vanished from his spot like a phantom and reappeared before Lu Zheng, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up.

Lu Zheng's Soul Power was suppressed within him, his expression panicked as he struggled fruitlessly. He stared intently at the terrifying figure before him, as if facing death itself, utterly despairing...

Finally, a crisp sound rang out.

Lu Zheng's limbs fell limp, his eyes wide open in death.

He was discarded to the side like a dead dog...

Jin Lingfeng was overjoyed and quickly rushed to the carriage, lifting the curtain to find a tightly bound, tear-streaked girl, Xiao Wu, inside. She was gazing at him with joy in her eyes...

"Brother Jin, thank you!"

Jin Lingfeng untied Xiao Wu, and she excitedly threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

For a moment, the cramped space within the carriage became extremely oppressive.

Jin Lingfeng's body stiffened instantly. He instinctively wanted to push Xiao Wu away, but seeing her trembling body and red-rimmed eyes in his arms, he could only suppress the urge.

His hands hovered in the air, not touching Xiao Wu. A man and a woman should not have physical contact.

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jin Lingfeng comforted her by her ear, trying his best to make his voice gentler.

Leaning into the man's solid embrace, Xiao Wu felt warmth and security, her emotions gradually calming.

However, when she saw his hands hovering in the air, a deep sense of disappointment welled up within her...

Seeing that the girl had stopped crying, Jin Lingfeng gently pushed her shoulders away and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, I'll take you back to Nuoding Academy now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted him, her lips pursed slightly as she asked softly, "Brother Jin, you already know Xiao Wu's true identity, don't you?"

Jin Lingfeng's gaze flickered slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

Xiao Wu's delicate hands fiddled with the hem of her clothes, her head lowered as she timidly asked, "Brother Jin, since you know Xiao Wu's true identity..."

"Then why did you still help me?"

As the girl spoke, her eyes welled up again, two tear tracks flowing down, making her look pitifully helpless...

Jin Lingfeng felt a pang of sympathy and coaxed her with a smile, "Xiao Wu, I've always felt a connection with you, which is why I couldn't help but want to help you."

"Of course, I already have someone I love."

"Our feelings for each other are deep and true."

Instantly, Xiao Wu bit her lip tightly, her eyes trembling, making it impossible to imagine what the girl's heart was enduring.

But when she raised her head again, a happy smile graced her face.

"Brother Jin, thank you."

"That sister is truly lucky to be able to be lovers with Brother Jin."

"When Xiao Wu looks for a boyfriend in the future, I'll definitely look for someone with standards like Brother Jin's, hee hee."

Xiao Wu said with a smile, a trace of regret flowing in her eyes...

Jin Lingfeng couldn't hide the girl's little thoughts from himself, but he could only smile faintly and step out of the carriage.

Some feelings, if you know from the beginning that they have no future, then you shouldn't let them take root and sprout...

However, at this very moment.

An unexpected change occurred!

A terrifying wave of Soul Power enveloped the carriage, instantly crushing it, sending splinters flying!

At the critical moment, Yue Guan's anxious voice rang out!

"Demon Bear Douluo, how dare you!"

"You dare to lay hands on the Holy Son!"

"Old Ghost, protect the Holy Son!"

The next moment, two Level 95 Soul Powers erupted, narrowly saving Jin Lingfeng!

"Holy Son, forgive us!"

"It was my fault and Old Gui's for arriving late!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei knelt before the young man in white, calling out in deep voices.

Jin Lingfeng looked at Xiao Wu, who had fainted in his arms, and boundless rage surged in his heart!

Suddenly, a fierce wind whipped up around them, and fallen leaves swirled.

A soul power that exerted immense pressure enveloped the area, causing even Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions to change slightly.

Immediately, within that space.

A burly, powerfully built elder appeared, his gaze fixed on Jin Lingfeng with intense killing intent.

Yue Guan pointed at Demon Bear Douluo and said coldly:

"Demon Bear Douluo, do you know what you're doing!"

"How dare you attack the Holy Son, you must be tired of living!"

Demon Bear Douluo glanced at his grandson's corpse beside him, nine soul rings rose beneath his feet, and his aura surged like a mad beast as he roared:

"Holy Son? What kind of bullshit is that!"

"You dare to kill my grandson and sever my Lu family's bloodline!"

"This is an irreconcilable hatred, I will kill Jin Lingfeng today!"

"Demon Bear Douluo, how dare you!"

Nine soul rings rose beneath Yue Guan and Gui Mei's feet as they blocked Jin Lingfeng, their faces filled with anger and solemnity.

Demon Bear Douluo sneered repeatedly, saying dismissively:

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, you are no match for me!"

"If you know what's good for you, get out of the way quickly, or I'll kill you both!"

Immediately, a massive Demon Bear figure materialized behind him, suppressing Yue Guan and Gui Mei, forcing both of them to retreat in disarray.

Suddenly, the surrounding space became unstable.

Then, before Demon Bear Douluo, an elder in black walked out, shaking his head and sighing:

"Demon Bear, stop."

"Return to Martial Soul City with me and apologize to the Great Priest. He will show mercy and forgive you."
