Lin Ya is Kidnapped

A Darkgold Tiger grew a pair of wings after a thousand years, evolved four wings after ten thousand years, and once its wings reached six, it meant it had become a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

It was just that this Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger had terrible luck. It attacked Shrek, got into a fight with the level-97 Divine Eagle Douluo, and promptly met its end.

But that did not mean it was any less terrifying. At the very least, no one on Lin Ya's side could withstand even a single exchange with it!

"Run!" Prince Xue Xing immediately gave the order. He did not care why the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger had appeared here. He could die, but nothing could happen to Lin Ya.

Those accompanying them were all his sworn guards. At his command, the soul masters immediately positioned themselves before the tiger, prepared to block its path with their bodies.

Without another word, Prince Xue Xing possessed himself with his Swan martial soul and soared into the sky with Lin Ya.

He could only gamble that the tiger had merely come out to hunt because it was hungry, and that it would not pursue them once it had eaten its fill.

However, the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger did not even regard these Soul Emperors and Soul Sages as worthy opponents. With a savage roar, dark-gold soul power swept outward like a raging flood!

Bang! Bang! Bang—

The Soul Emperors and Soul Sages were instantly shaken unconscious, their eyes rolling back as they crashed stiffly to the ground.

"I'll help you!!" Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo, immediately summoned his martial soul as well.

With his strength, he could have abandoned the prince and Lin Ya and fled, but as a consecrated of the Heaven Dou Empire, he could not bring himself to do such a thing.

Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Black!

Seven soul rings began to shine!

Countless Heavenly Blue Vines transformed into emerald-green chains and swept toward the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger.

This was Zhi Lin's strongest seventh soul skill, yet it was still only a seventh soul skill.

Ten-year soul beast = Soul Scholar

Hundred-year soul beast = Soul Master

Five-hundred-year soul beast = Grand Soul Master

Thousand-year soul beast = Soul Elder

Five-thousand-year soul beast = Soul Ancestor

Ten-thousand-year soul beast = Soul King

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was equivalent in strength to a Titled Douluo! A top-tier soul beast like the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger was nearly on par with a level-95 Titled Douluo!

How could a Soul Douluo who did not even possess an eighth soul ring possibly withstand its might!

Roar!

With a flap of its six wings, the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger transformed into a streak of golden light and tore straight through every Heavenly Blue Vine binding it!

It did not attack Zhi Lin. Instead, it charged directly toward Prince Xue Xing.

"Not good! Its target is Lin Ya!" Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo, finally realized what the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger was after.

But why!

Lin Ya was merely a Grand Soul Master. Even if his talent was astonishing, he should not have been targeted by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

But there was no time for him to think further. The Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger had already arrived before Prince Xue Xing.

"Xiao Ya!" Prince Xue Xing tried to stop the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger, but it was useless. His Soul Emperor-level strength could not even endure the tiger's roar; he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Prince Xue Xing did not understand. To help Lin Ya hunt for his second soul ring, he had brought a team capable of killing a fifty-thousand-year soul beast!

Why, then, could they still not protect Lin Ya?

"Uncle!" Lin Ya shouted. Prince Xue Xing was the person closest to him in this world. How could he bear to see anything happen to him?

Without time to think, Lin Ya directly used Spirit Binding and General Summoning to call forth the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear and the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, sending them to attack the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger!

Seeing the two soul spirits lunging at it, the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger froze for a moment. It swatted both soul spirits away with one paw, then actually spoke in human language.

"No wonder my lord told me to bring you over. Human, stop struggling and come with me. I can spare these people's lives."

Hearing the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger's words, Lin Ya suddenly stopped moving.

He looked at the unconscious Prince Xue Xing and revealed a bitter smile.

"Could this be the world's corrective force?"

Could this world not tolerate a transmigrator like him, so it had deliberately sent the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger to deal with him?

But that should not be right. Tang San was also a transmigrator, so why could he become a God King?

But...

"Forget it." Lin Ya looked toward the unconscious Prince Xue Xing.

Ever since coming to this world, he had never felt much attachment to its people. Take Xue Ye and Xue Beng, for example. Although they were his father and biological brother, he had never even met them, so naturally there was no deep bond between them.

But Prince Xue Xing was an exception. All these years, he had always taken care of him. Lin Ya could feel that Prince Xue Xing's affection was not because he possessed twin martial souls, nor because of his extraordinary talent. It was simply because... he was his nephew.

If his death could save Prince Xue Xing's life, then it would not be a loss.

"I'll go with you. Spare them," Lin Ya said firmly.

Perhaps he had never belonged in this world to begin with. Perhaps the Space-Time Administration had made a mistake, and he was supposed to have gone to the world of Under One Person!

He felt a little sorry for the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider and the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear. He had just promised to take them to see the scenery of the Divine Realm.

"Lin Ya! Don't go!" Zhi Lin still tried to stop Lin Ya.

However, the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger gave him no chance to speak at all.

With a swipe of its tiger claw, it gently seized Lin Ya's small body. Then its six wings beat, and it vanished straight into the horizon.

"Lin Ya!!" Zhi Lin, a Soul Douluo, stared at the sky in despair.

For the first time, he resented his own weakness. He had thought he could protect this child as he grew up, yet he could not even provide the most basic protection.

"If I had already obtained my eighth soul ring, perhaps I could have..."

Unfortunately, there were no ifs. And even if he had obtained his eighth soul ring, he still would never have been a match for the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger.

"Xiao Ya!!"

Prince Xue Xing quickly regained consciousness. The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was look for Lin Ya.

But there was nothing around them. His eyes nearly split with rage as he grabbed Zhi Lin and roared, "Zhi Lin! Where is Xiao Ya?! Where did he go?!"

Zhi Lin lowered his head. His voice was hoarse, and he scarcely dared face Prince Xue Xing. "He... was taken away by the Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger."

"What... did you say..."

Xue Xing staggered and collapsed to his knees, his vision going black.

Xiao Ya was gone. How was he supposed to go back and face his elder brother?

Why?! Why wasn't it him who had died?!

Zhi Lin hurriedly supported him and urged, "Prince Xue Xing! Calm down! The Six-Winged Darkgold Tiger didn't kill him on the spot, which means Lin Ya is still safe for now. The most important thing is to save him!"

"Right! Save him!" Xue Xing seemed to seize a lifeline, and light returned to his eyes.

There was still hope! Perhaps Lin Ya was not dead yet!

Even if Lin Ya was dead, he would grind that damned tiger's bones to dust and scatter its ashes! He would avenge Lin Ya!

"I'll return to Heaven Dou and find Poison Douluo... No, Poison Douluo isn't strong enough. I'll go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if I have to kneel, I'll beg them for help!"

"Count me in!" Zhi Lin answered gravely. "I'll return to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and find Mengshenji! We must save this child!"

The two figures exchanged a glance, then shot into the sky at the same time, racing toward Heaven Dou City...
