Dugu Bo Intercepts Them, Lin Luo Takes Out the Barrett

Sunset Forest.

Tang San and Dugu Bo sat on the ground. The afterglow of the setting sun only illuminated half of Tang San's face, and the shadow on the upper half of his face added a touch of gloom to his expression.

"Old Freak, I heard the Crown Prince is about to return to the palace?"

"That's right."

Tang San took a deep breath. "The holiday is almost over, and I'll be returning to Nuoding City soon. Before I go, could you do me a favor?"

Dugu Bo glanced at him and said, "You speak."

"Help me kill a woman, in her early twenties, with stunning beauty and long blonde hair. She's traveling south beyond the empire's border, passing through Tiannan City and heading towards Spirit City. You should be able to find her carriage there."

Dugu Bo asked, puzzled, "Don't you have a good relationship with Sect Master Ning? Why are you asking me for help?"

Tang San suddenly chuckled, his face full of mockery.

After their parting in Gengxin City, Ning Fengzhi had already begun to suspect him.

In the morning Ning Fengzhi went to the sect to inquire about the results of the palace's investigation, but he remained evasive and ambiguous throughout.

At that time, Tang San realized that Ning Fengzhi already knew that the Crown Prince was the one who poisoned him, but he did not intend to get involved anymore.

The only reason must be that she became suspicious of him.

Tang San then realized that he had oversimplified things, assuming that because of their past life's bond, asking Ning Fengzhi for help in this life would be a piece of cake.

But they forgot that Ning Fengzhi was essentially a businessman who prioritized profit.

To put it bluntly, my relationship with him is purely based on mutual benefit. Why would he be willing to take risks for me based on my side of the story?

But Dugu Bo was different; Tang San saved Dugu Bo and his granddaughter's lives.

Tang San smiled, "I don't trust Ning Fengzhi, I only trust you."

Dugu Bo gave him a deep look and spoke:

"Alright, I do owe you a favor. After I kill that person for you, we'll be even."

Tang San: "Still friends?"

"Certainly."

Tang San stood up and said, "She's most likely not accompanied by any experts, but I still suggest you don't reveal your identity."

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes. "Who exactly is she?"

"One of my mortal enemies."

Tang San didn't explain as much as he had before.

He realized that no one would truly believe what he said at the moment.

On the third day of the trip, night fell.

The carriage jolted along, and Lin Luo had already fallen asleep in Qian Renxue's arms.

Qian Renxue raised her hand and lifted the curtain. The grass and leaves that rushed past the roadside were pitch black, and the surroundings were quiet, with the occasional chirping of insects.

Only a single, bright moon shone down from the sky, illuminating both sides of the road.

The carriage driver was drowsy, occasionally cracking the whip.

Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue looked at her son's face in her arms and smiled slightly. Afraid that Lin Luo would catch a cold, she wrapped the blanket around Lin Luo even more.

"Well."

She let out a slow sigh.

She was indeed very angry that day when Bo Saixi questioned whether she could play the role of a mother well.

However, one of the reasons for anger is also self-doubt.

Luo'er is still so young, yet she has dragged him into the power struggle of the Heaven Dou Battle.

Is this really something a mother should do?

Qian Renxue gently pressed her cheek against Lin Luo's head, her expression somewhat bewildered.

"I'm sorry, Luo'er, this is my first time being a mother too. If I've done anything wrong..."

Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then suddenly said seriously, "Then you'll have to hold it in too."

Just then...

"Drive--"

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Lin Luo was awakened by a violent shaking.

"Shh--" Qian Renxue quickly put her index finger to her lips, listening alertly to the sounds around her.

The only sound outside was the panicked cries of the cart drivers fleeing; otherwise, there was no further movement.

In order to keep a low profile and prevent spies from noticing that the Crown Prince's carriage was coming from the direction of Spirit City.

Therefore, Bibi Dong and the others chose the most ordinary carriage for Qian Renxue, without any attendants, and even the driver was found from a nearby village.

In this situation, no one would know that the "Crown Prince" was sitting in the carriage.

Qian Renxue hugged Lin Luo tightly, slowly lifted the curtain, and finally saw what was happening ahead.

It was a man dressed in black, even his face was covered with a black cloth.

Upon seeing the target emerge from the carriage, the man in black narrowed his eyes and slowly walked forward.

Rings of Soul Ring rose from his body.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black!

Titled Douluo?!

Qian Renxue exclaimed inwardly.

Where exactly did things go wrong?

Titled Douluo intercepted her, then someone must know her identity, this plan, and everything else.

Who is the other party?

Despite all her careful planning, Qian Renxue never imagined that the news would leak out.

But regardless of who it was, the killing intent emanating from this Titled Douluo was already close to solidifying.

Tonight, there's no escaping it.

"There's even a child?"

The man in black suddenly spoke.

Almost simultaneously, Qian Renxue and Lin Luo recognized each other's identities: Dugu Bo!

Dugu Bo for a moment, then frowned and said, "I won't kill the child, I'll only kill you."

Qian Renxue asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know who I am?"

Dugu Bo shook his head. "I don't know. Someone asked me to kill you, so I came to kill you."

ah??

Qian Renxue was completely stunned; she never expected this answer.

Dugu Bo: "Put down the child and come out to die."

I cannot escape this battle.

But Luo'er has a chance to leave!

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Luo, her arms trembling.

With tears welling in her eyes, she gently put Lin Luo down and smiled, saying, "Son, it's alright, it's just a game of hide-and-seek, something we've played before. You run far away and hide. You... you should be able to understand what Mom is saying, right?"

Lin Luo looked at her intently, watching Qian Renxue's tears fall, her eyes revealing a strong sense of reluctance.

He raised his hand to wipe away Qian Renxue's tears and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Qian Renxue nodded immediately. "Run! Once you're hidden, Mom will come looking for you later."

Lin Luo glanced at her one last time, then turned and ran away with unsteady steps.

Qian Renxue said calmly, "Could you let him run a little further away?"

Dugu Bo: "Okay."

Qian Renxue turned to look at him. "I need to know who you're working for, Dugu Bo."

"Ha, so you actually recognized me. That man is just your mortal enemy."

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "I am rather curious about your identity."

Qian Renxue: "Then you'd better watch carefully."

As she finished speaking, a golden light emanated from Qian Renxue, and three pairs of golden wings unfolded behind her.

Qian Renxue raised her eyes, her skin shrouded in golden holy light, making her appear as if Angel Descent.

"Six-Winged Angel?!" Dugu Bo was shocked. Tang San's mortal enemy was Six-Winged Angel?!

It wouldn't be worth offending the Spirit Hall just to repay a favor, but the problem is that they already know he is Dugu Bo.

There's no other way but to eliminate it!

Dugu Bo also released his Martial Soul, and charged towards Qian Renxue with a serious expression.

On the other side.

Lin Luo had climbed to a high point, from which he could see two figures fighting on the road in the middle of the bushes.

After finding a good spot, he retrieved the Barrett from his System Space.
