On our side!

"Old Chrysanthemum, should we go down now? Little Qian is in a bit of danger."

Ghost Douluo, who was secretly protecting Lu Qian nearby, spoke to Chrysanthemum Douluo beside him.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, however, frowned, glanced around, and said quietly:

"Old Ghost, haven't you sensed those two extremely powerful auras nearby?"

"You mean over there?"

Ghost Douluo pointed in the direction the newcomers had just come from.

"Exactly. Who knows where these people came from? They actually sent Titled Douluos to deal with Little Qian."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's brows were tightly knitted. Clearly, he felt there was more to this.

"There are certainly forces that can deploy two Titled Douluos at once, but why target Little Qian?"

"Forget it. Let's not dwell on that for now. If things don't improve in a moment, we'll take Little Qian and leave immediately. You'll be responsible for getting him away. I'll cover the retreat."

"Don't worry. Leave it to me."

Meanwhile, Lu Qian, caught between enemies in front and behind, was rather speechless. Of all the times those carriage company thugs could have appeared, they just had to show up now.

This basically cut off every possibility of Lu Qian escaping, let alone taking Ning Rongrong with him.

"Who are they?"

Ning Rongrong asked quietly from behind Lu Qian.

Lu Qian replied rather helplessly:

"I really wish they were on our side."

On our side?

An idea suddenly flashed through Lu Qian's mind.

The next second, Lu Qian swiftly withdrew his Martial Soul, then ran toward the carriage company thugs behind him.

As he ran, he shouted:

"Boss! I found the little girl, but they beat us to her!"

"Boss! Should we kill them first?"

Ning Rongrong was dumbfounded by Lu Qian's words, and a question once again circled through her mind.

Lu Qian, are you a kidnapper or not?!

The white-robed men, however, secretly grew more cautious at Lu Qian's words. Though these newcomers were somewhat weaker, according to the boy, they had come to capture Ning Rongrong too!

"Another force is trying to capture this little girl?"

"No idea. Could that person not trust us?"

After a brief exchange, the two Soul Kings did not act rashly, but they readied themselves to strike at any moment.

Lastly, there were the people pursuing Lu Qian. After hearing his shouts, the Soul King leading them frowned and barked:

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little bastard?!"

"Boss, he's running toward us!"

"Hmph, he's throwing himself into the net. Grab him!"

As Lu Qian neared them, the carriage company's men swiftly moved, preparing to seize him outright.

They had not expected Lu Qian to be as slippery as a loach. They had been just a little short of catching him, but now he actually turned and ran back.

"Grab him!"

Feeling toyed with, the carriage company's Soul King was extremely displeased and personally went after him. Naturally, he had also seen the people opposite them.

He actually did not want any extra complications, so he took action himself. Once he caught Lu Qian as quickly as possible, there would be no further trouble.

Yet Lu Qian suddenly accelerated toward the white-robed group. To the white-robed men, it looked as though Lu Qian was leading his men into battle against them.

In particular, Lu Qian released his Martial Soul as he shouted. It was still the Sky-Covering Blue Silver Emperor. Although the Seven Kill Divine Sword might have been more suitable now, he had already revealed the former earlier, and he had no desire to expose the secret of his Twin Martial Souls.

"Charge with me! Kill these bastards!"

"Boss, this little girl is ours for the taking!"

Lu Qian kept using his words to stir up conflict between the two sides. At the critical moment, he even unleashed the Sky-Covering Blue Silver Emperor's first Soul Skill to provoke the white-robed men.

"First Soul Skill! Blue Silver Entanglement!"

Lu Qian's Sky-Covering Blue Silver Emperor had two forms. One was the utterly ordinary Blue Silver Grass form, and the other was the Sky-Covering Blue Silver Emperor form.

Naturally, Lu Qian was using the ordinary form now. Though it did little damage, it was extremely insulting.

Under Lu Qian's all-out exertion, his Blue Silver Grass had entangled practically every Soul Master opposite him.

"Blue Silver Grass! Are you trying to make me laugh to death?!"

One of the Soul Kings effortlessly broke free of Lu Qian's Blue Silver Entanglement, and the others did the same.

But now, not only had Lu Qian attacked them first, the people he was leading were also almost upon them. How could the two Soul Kings leading the white-robed men put up with this?

"Attack! Leave none alive!"

"Leave that Soul King to me. You go watch the little girl."

With that, the white-robed men charged toward the carriage company thugs Lu Qian was leading, under the leadership of their two Soul Kings.

Seeing the white-robed men move, the carriage company's Soul King immediately realized that Lu Qian had used him!

"Don't attack! We only want this brat's life!"

"What? Boss, you want those people's lives?"

Lu Qian hurriedly cut in.

The carriage company's Soul King flew into a rage, hating Lu Qian so much that he wanted to kill him right that instant!

Yet, though Lu Qian was only a Soul Elder, he was extremely fast. Even a full-fledged Soul King like himself could not catch up to him quickly.

But now Lu Qian was right before his eyes. The carriage company's Soul King had already gathered his most powerful Soul Skill, determined to kill Lu Qian in a single blow and vent the hatred in his heart!

Besides, once Lu Qian was dead, all these misunderstandings could be cleared up!

Although Lu Qian looked very relaxed as he sprinted, inwardly, he was panicking like hell.

After all, he really was caught between two forces now. Not only would the white-robed men attack him, but the people behind him would show him no mercy either.

In particular, Lu Qian had already sensed the carriage company Soul King's terrifying killing intent. With the white-robed men now charging right up to him as well, he was genuinely afraid these two groups would slaughter him here in the chaos.

I hope this works!

Just as the two sides were about to clash, Lu Qian swiftly tossed out two devices resembling smoke bombs. In an instant, thick smoke billowed out around him!

"Watch that little girl!"

"Grab that brat!"

"Kill their leader!"

The first two shouts came from the Soul Kings on either side. The last came from Lu Qian.

Though the entire process was hair-raising, Lu Qian successfully escaped the most dangerous spot where the two sides clashed.

He also successfully avoided the carriage company Soul King's fatal blow. Worried that Lu Qian would escape, that Soul King had hurled out an attack in haste. Unexpectedly, not only had it missed Lu Qian, it had struck the white-robed men's Soul King squarely instead!

"You're courting death!"

"It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding, my ass!"

One of the two white-robed Soul Kings had even had an arm crippled. How could he possibly not be furious?!
