At this moment, Hu Liena, who was being held hostage by Tang San, did not feel angry. She was just puzzled and asked Tang San beside her, " Tang Yin, why? Why did you do this?"
Tang San didn't speak, but with his other hand, he slowly summoned a Blue Silver Grass to fix Hu Liena's body to himself, preventing her from escaping.
Upon seeing the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand, Hu Liena's eyes widened instantly. Countless fragments flashed through her mind, and details that she had previously overlooked were now presented to her with unparalleled clarity.
There is only one person in the world who possesses both the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, and that person is Tang San!
Hu Liena gave a helpless, bitter laugh and said, "Is that so? I should have guessed it sooner. You are Tang San."
Tang San couldn't face Hu Liena at this moment, and could only say, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing, Tang San. You saved my life in the Slaughter City. Now, consider it repaying you with my life," Hu Liena said miserably.
Seeing Hu Liena's heartbroken expression, Tang San felt a pang of heartache and almost let Hu Liena go.
After all, being betrayed by someone you deeply love must be an incredibly painful and despairing experience.
Seemingly sensing Tang San's soft heart, Hu Liena subtly leaned closer to Tang San, even whispering, "Don't be soft-hearted. Since you've made up your mind, don't hesitate! Otherwise, you won't be able to save anyone."
Hearing Hu Liena's words, Tang San was surprised, but he also understood that this was the only way. So he took Hu Liena and headed towards Qi Ling's direction.
" Tang San! You stop right there! Leave Nana here!" Yan shouted at Tang San, his eyes practically spitting fire.
Tang San naturally ignored Yan's words. After arriving at Qi Ling and Xiao Wu's side, Qi Ling said to Hu Liena with a rather helpless expression, "Hey, beautiful lady, it's quite a pity to meet you again in this kind of setting."
Hu Liena laughed and said, "You were the one in the Slaughter City, weren't you? I should have realized it sooner, otherwise, why would you have helped us leave?"
"Congratulations, you answered correctly. You are indeed very clever," Qi Ling said. "You'll have to bear with it for now. Once we're free, you'll be allowed to leave."
Afterwards, Qi Ling and the other two, along with Hu Liena, fled deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. As long as they reached a place where the Spirit Hall people couldn't find them, Qi Ling would have a way to lead them to safety.
Seeing that the group had taken Hu Liena away, Yan anxiously said to Chrysanthemum Douluo, " Elder Ju, they've taken Nana away. Are we just going to watch them escape like this?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted coldly and said, "Of course we can't let them escape like this. We've paid such a high price; if we let them get away now, none of us will survive!"
"So what should we do?"
"Even the most familiar people in the forest can encounter unexpected situations," Chrysanthemum Douluo said. "And that's when we have the best opportunity to strike!"
"Everyone, set off immediately to pursue them! Remember, capture that Soul Beast at all costs! If necessary..." A fierce glint flashed in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, "If necessary, even if it means sacrificing the Holy Maiden, ensure the mission is completed!"
Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words that Hu Liena was to be sacrificed, Yan froze on the spot, while the other members of the Spirit Hall agreed and chased after him into the forest.
"Stop standing there, let's get moving!" Xie Yue urged Yan, seeing his expression. " Elder Ju didn't say we had to sacrifice Nana. Can't we just find an opportunity to save Nana?"
Qi Ling and the others, who were running swiftly through the forest, quickly sensed the movements of the Spirit Hall and their group. During their pursuit, they showed no regard for the hostages, which made Qi Ling's heart tighten.
In the original situation, Qi Ling was certain that they wouldn't dare to ignore Hu Liena, after all, Bibi Dong controlled the Spirit Hall at that time, and Hu Liena's importance was self-evident.
But now that Qian Xunji has taken over the Spirit Hall, it's hard to say whether Hu Liena's identity is still that important. It's very possible that Qian Xunji is already considering replacing her as the Holy Maiden.
Given Qian Xunji's personality, he probably wouldn't trust Bibi Dong's disciple, let alone allow her to inherit the Pope in the future. Therefore, it makes sense that these people no longer care about Hu Liena's identity.
"This is troublesome. It seems the hostage tactic isn't working," Qi Ling said, frowning. "We need to speed things up!"
Even with Xiao Wu's familiarity with the terrain, it was impossible to shake off the pursuit of two Super Douluo, and they were quickly caught up.
"There's no other way. I'll hold them off, you guys go first!" Qi Ling stopped in her tracks helplessly. After all, among the people here, only she had the ability to stop the two of them.
" Brother Qi, no! You're no match for them!" Xiao Wu said to Qi Ling.
"Don't worry, even if I can't beat you, I'll just run away!" Qi Ling laughed. "I'll come find you once you're free!"
"But, Brother Qi..." Xiao Wu wanted to say something, but Qi Ling stopped her, saying, " Xiao Wu, listen to me. If you stay here, you'll only distract me. Don't you trust me?"
After Qi Ling's words, Xiao Wu was speechless and could only follow Tang San and Hu Liena into the forest. But for some reason, an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
Qi Ling, who remained where he was, soon encountered Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who had been tracking him. Upon seeing that Qi Ling was alone, the two immediately understood his plan, knowing that he wanted to stall them so that the others could escape.
Although they knew Qi Ling's purpose, they really had no other choice but to leave two of them behind to deal with him, because judging from Qi Ling Qi Ling's performance just now, one person alone would not be enough to handle him.
"Hmph, you think you can save them by holding us back? It's not that simple!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said, and his subordinates quickly caught up, with nineteen Soul Saint and Soul Douluo standing behind the two.
"All of you, go after those three! Remember, they have to be alive!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's order, the Spirit Hall members were about to bypass Qi Ling and continue their pursuit, but at that moment, an incomparably domineering aura emanated from Qi Ling, instantly causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
"Did I say you could come over?" Qi Ling said. "Although I don't want to kill so many people, I'm sorry, since you've chosen to die, then you'll all die here!"
