Nanmen Yun'er Seriously Injured! Ning Feng Makes a Move!

At this moment...

After hearing the news that high-level Evil Soul Masters had appeared in the Heaven Dou Empire again, Elder Li's already anxious expression became even more unsettled.

He rubbed his hands together incessantly inside his sleeves, his breathing growing rapid due to his nervousness.

"This won't do. With this situation unfolding in the Great Rock Forest, I cannot just sit here and wait." Elder Li looked at Du Busi, his tone extremely firm.

"Ning Feng, Vina, and Mu Xue are on their first mission; it was already dangerous enough as it is."

"Now that this has happened, what if these two groups of Evil Soul Masters set their sights on them at the same time? That would be trouble! No, we must send people to bring them back immediately and take care of these Evil Soul Masters!"

Du Busi no longer wore the relaxed expression he had while drinking tea just moments ago.

Although he had always advocated for giving his disciples trials and training, there had to be a limit to everything. Provided that he could ensure the safety of his disciples, he would naturally let them act boldly.

But once the safety risks became too great, he would not persist; instead, he would choose to respond immediately.

Therefore, at this moment, Du Busi slammed his teacup onto the table, producing a crisp, sharp sound.

"You are right," Du Busi said in a deep voice. "We truly cannot sit idly by regarding this matter..."

Du Busi stood up immediately and shouted toward the outside of the Main Hall: "Someone, come here!"

Several inner sect disciples of the Body Sect dressed in tight-fitting martial attire quickly ran into the side hall, bowing respectfully to await orders.

"You are to go to the Great Rock Forest immediately." Du Busi pointed toward the door, his voice carrying unquestionable majesty.

"Ning Feng, Vina, and Mu Xue were originally there to carry out a mission, but now, the mission content is to hunt a pair of Evil Soul Masters with an average level of only twenty-five or twenty-six."

"However, just now, the latest intelligence arrived: another group of Evil Soul Masters is gathering there, with an average soul power cultivation of level thirty-five or higher."

"Ning Feng, Vina, and Mu Xue are all on their first mission and lack experience, and this new group of Evil Soul Masters is quite powerful..."

"Therefore, you must go there immediately, find Ning Feng, Vina, and Mu Xue, verify their safety first, and then, join forces to kill the other group of Evil Soul Masters as well!"

"Yes!" The disciples immediately accepted the order, turned, and rushed out of the Main Hall.

Soul power surged beneath their feet, and their figures turned into several black lines on the mountain road outside the sect, galloping toward the direction of the Great Rock Forest.

At this time, on the other side of the Great Rock Forest.

The three of them, Ning Feng, were indeed unaware of the turn of events within the sect.

For the past two days, they had been conducting a carpet search in the forest, but apart from some ordinary wild beasts and low-level soul beasts, they had not found any traces of Evil Soul Masters.

"Junior brother, we've been searching for two days and haven't found any traces of Evil Soul Masters." Vina wiped the sweat from her forehead, her expression somewhat weary. She looked at the sky and suggested, "It seems there shouldn't be any other Evil Soul Masters around here, right?"

Mu Xue echoed, "The princess is right. When the sect mentioned the Evil Soul Masters before, they only said there were about ten of them. The numbers match up, so there shouldn't be any left."

Ning Feng stopped in his tracks and did not answer immediately.

He squatted on the ground, carefully inspecting the surrounding vegetation, then stood up and looked toward the north.

Just as he was about to speak, his ears twitched slightly.

In the wind, he caught a trace of an extremely faint vibration.

It was the sound of metal clashing, along with human shouts.

"Shh."

Ning Feng held up his index finger, signaling for Vina and Mu Xue to be quiet.

"There's a situation, right to the north."

Ning Feng did not hesitate in the slightest; he lowered his posture and took the lead, creeping toward that direction.

Seeing this, Vina and Mu Xue immediately put away their fatigue and followed closely behind Ning Feng, maintaining a combat stance.

They passed through a dense thicket and, using the tree trunks as cover, advanced about three hundred meters toward the source of the sound.

And in a clearing less than fifty meters ahead, a life-and-death chase was unfolding.

A young girl dressed in red was currently dodging through the forest in a disheveled state.

She was Nanmen Yun'er from Shrek Academy.

Nanmen Yun'er had originally been on her way home to handle the funeral arrangements for an elder in her family, never expecting to run into this group of Evil Soul Masters on the only path back to Shrek Academy.

At this moment, a long gash had been cut into one of her arms, and blood was continuously seeping out, staining the cuffs of her clothes.

She was pushing her martial soul—the Emerald Green Bird—to its full speed.

Two pairs of cyan wings flapped frantically behind her, attempting to widen the distance.

But her soul power was limited after all, and the previous battle had already consumed most of her stamina.

Two thin, gaunt Evil Soul Masters, exuding a cold and sinister aura, were chasing her unhurriedly, much like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Run, keep running!"

"A young girl—this is a prime sacrifice."

The Evil Soul Masters let out harsh, grating laughter.

Nanmen Yun'er's face was pale.

She tried desperately to escape from this area, but her retreat route had already been blocked by this group of Evil Soul Masters.

The opponents seemed to have anticipated her movements long ago; no matter if she changed direction to the left or right, there was always an Evil Soul Master one step ahead blocking her path.

Just as Nanmen Yun'er passed by a large tree, she tripped over a withered vine due to exhaustion.

"Thud!"

She fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain shot through her right ankle—she had sprained it.

"Oh no!"

Nanmen Yun'er felt a chill in her heart and instinctively tried to struggle to her feet, but a fierce gust of wind struck from behind.

Because she was a beat too slow in her attempt to dodge, her left shoulder took a solid kick from one of the Evil Soul Masters.

The immense force sent her flying sideways again, where she slammed hard into a rock.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and Nanmen Yun'er collapsed to the ground, her Emerald Green Bird martial soul flickering on and off due to her exhausted soul power.

Seeing her fall, those Evil Soul Masters no longer hid their killing intent and immediately closed in.

Their faces were twisted with malice, and the blades in their hands glinted coldly in the shadows.

Nanmen Yun'er looked at the approaching enemies and let out a miserable laugh.

"Grandfather, it seems... I'm coming to join you."

She closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slid from the corners of her eyes.

As a new student of Shrek, she never expected her journey to end here.

Just as the lead Evil Soul Master raised the spike in his hand, preparing to plunge it into Nanmen Yun'er's throat.

"Boom!"

A heavy, muffled sound descended from the sky, like a meteorite crashing into the earth.

Immediately following, a figure carrying an intense sense of oppression landed directly between Nanmen Yun'er and the group of Evil Soul Masters, accompanied by the dust of the shattering ground.

After that figure steadied himself, muscles bulged on both sides of his shoulders, two more heads emerged, and six arms assumed an extremely violent stance.

It was Ning Feng in his Three Heads and Six Arms state!
