Please Save Xiao Wu

It is true that Jiang Li had been in seclusion for one hundred thousand years, but he was not ignorant of the world.

Before he transmigrated, he had read the novel about this world and had once learned of this ape's reputation in the book.

This fellow was known as the Titan Giant Ape, possessing boundless strength; the power of a single punch was enough to collapse mountains and shatter rocks, making it one of the most terrifyingly powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent.

In the original work, it and another soul beast called the Sky Azure Bull Python were known as the two great emperors of the Star Dou Forest, and it shared a deep connection with a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit named Xiao Wu, who was of the same kin as Jiang Li's wife.

Yet, what puzzled Jiang Li was how this fellow had managed to find his way here.

He had long ago set up a Mind-Confusing Array around his small courtyard.

This array was inscribed by his own hand, using divine stones as its foundation and gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a barrier; even a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level who stepped into it would lose their senses, wandering in circles for half a day without ever reaching the courtyard.

He had only given a token to Xiao Rou, yet he had also warned her that if there was nothing urgent, she must never enter this courtyard to avoid being corrupted by the aura of the abyss.

Because of this, for one hundred thousand years, no person or soul beast had ever been able to pass through the array to find this place.

Yet this Titan Giant Ape had actually charged straight through.

Was it a coincidence?

Or had something gone wrong with the array?

Jiang Li's gaze fell upon the giant ape, his expression calm, though countless thoughts were already flashing through his mind.

At this very moment, the Titan Giant Ape had no idea what kind of extraordinary array it had just breached.

It only knew to run for its life, its furry face etched with anxiety and terror, and its large, copper-bell-like eyes even rimmed with bloodshot veins.

"Sister Xiao Wu... Sister Xiao Wu..."

It screamed frantically in its heart.

"I will definitely save you! I will!"

The Xiao Wu it spoke of was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Star Dou Forest, a descendant of the Soft Bone Charm Rabbit lineage.

However, unlike it and Da Ming the Sky Azure Bull Python, Xiao Wu had chosen a much more difficult path:

Transforming into a human and beginning her cultivation from scratch.

Soul beasts transforming into humans was a path only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was qualified to tread.

Once the choice to transform was made, it meant abandoning the body and cultivation of a soul beast, being reborn in the form of a human infant, and cultivating soul power from the very beginning.

This process was extremely perilous; the slightest carelessness would result in death and total annihilation.

Yet, Xiao Wu had chosen this path nonetheless.

She wanted to see the human world and experience a life unlike any other.

Although Er Ming and Da Ming were reluctant, they respected Xiao Wu's choice.

They thought that with Xiao Wu's intelligence and agility, she should not encounter any major trouble in the human world.

Moreover, although Xiao Wu had transformed into a human, her soul beast origin remained; if she truly encountered danger, at least they two were in the Star Dou Forest and could provide support at any time.

Everything should have gone smoothly.

But Er Ming and Da Ming never imagined that Xiao Wu would actually meet a person.

A person named Tang San.

What they never expected even more was that this Tang San would actually bring Xiao Wu to Martial Soul City!

Martial Soul City was the headquarters of Martial Soul Hall.

It was the largest soul master organization on the Douluo Continent, with influence spread across the entire world.

And Martial Soul Hall and the Star Dou Forest were naturally at odds, like fire and water.

The soul masters of Martial Soul Hall hunted soul beasts to obtain soul rings, while the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest viewed humans as their mortal enemies; the hatred between the two sides had spanned countless thousands of years.

Even more fatal was that soul masters on the continent were, without exception, desperate for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring signified the foundation of a Title Douluo level combat power. Furthermore, when a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast fell, it would inevitably drop a soul bone.

The value of a soul bone was even higher than that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

And a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would produce both of these items.

Taking Xiao Wu to Martial Soul City?

Tang San was leading Xiao Wu to her death!

Er Ming's chest felt as if it were about to burst.

He did not understand what methods that human named Tang San had used to make Xiao Wu willingly follow him.

He understood even less how a girl as clever as Xiao Wu could fail to see the danger in this.

But now was no longer the time to dwell on such things.

What kind of place was Martial Soul City?

It was the lair of Martial Soul Hall, a gathering place for the world's most powerful experts!

Pope Bibi Dong, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo... which one of them was not a figure standing at the pinnacle of the continent?

Given Xiao Wu's current strength, the consequences would be unimaginable should her identity be exposed in Martial Soul City.

Er Ming and Da Ming wanted to rush to Martial Soul City the moment they received the news.

However, Star Dou Forest is more than ten thousand miles away from Martial Soul City.

Even as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, if they traveled at full speed day and night, by the time they arrived at Martial Soul City, the opportunity would have long since passed.

Furthermore, with their current strength, rashly breaking into Martial Soul City would be no different than walking into a trap.

The Titled Douluo of Martial Soul Hall are not to be trifled with; not only would they fail to save Xiao Wu, but both of them would likely be trapped as well.

Er Ming was nearly driven mad with anxiety.

Just as he and Da Ming were at their wits' end, Da Ming suddenly recalled something.

A legend that had circulated in the depths of the Star Dou Forest for who knows how many years.

Within the Star Dou Forest, there exists a forbidden entity!

That forbidden entity once said that unless the continent faced destruction, no one was permitted to enter the small courtyard.

In fact, for the past hundred thousand years, all soul beasts have adhered to this.

No soul beast dared to approach that place, treating it as a forbidden zone of life.

Yet, Da Ming and Er Ming had heard another sentence from Xiao Wu's mother.

"Aunt Xiao Rou once said that she had a past with that person..." Da Ming's voice trembled with uncertainty, "If Xiao Wu encounters danger, we can go find him."

Although Aunt Xiao Rou had not returned for a very long time, Er Ming was unsure if the man named Jiang Li even remembered her, let alone if he would be willing to intervene.

But Aunt Xiao Rou had spoken with such certainty that the man would definitely look after Xiao Wu's affairs.

This was their only choice now.

The only choice that could save Xiao Wu!

Er Ming gritted his teeth, his massive body crashing through the dense forest as he sprinted desperately in the direction Da Ming the Sky Azure Bull Python had described from memory.

"Please..."

He prayed over and over in his heart.

"Senior, I beg you to intervene just this once."

"Only if you are willing to act can Sister Xiao Wu survive!"

He did not know if that person would act, nor did he know if the one known as the forbidden entity was still there after a hundred thousand years.

But to save Xiao Wu, he had to try!

Finally, Er Ming passed through the maze, lifting his head to look at the small courtyard ahead, which appeared simple and unadorned yet radiated a forbidden aura.

"Sir, may I ask if you still remember a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit named Rou Rou?"

"If you remember her, please, I beg you to act and save her daughter!"
