Chapter 46: Soul Leaving Body! Crisis!

  Inside the Black Wind Stockade's side hall.

  Liu Yunba smiled gloomily at Xia Ye and said: "Big brother, the things you ordered have been arranged."

  "En." Xia Ye slowly opened his eyes, a glint flashing in them: "This time, it's best not to make any small moves."

  "Huh? How is this possible?" Liu Yunba said with some embarrassment.

  Xia Ye stood up and said faintly, "For this mountain stronghold position, I have waited for many years, until there were no more opportunities. That's when I started making preparations for Chen Er. So, I absolutely do not allow anyone to disrupt my plans!"

  At this point, Xia Ye glanced at Liu Yunba and repeated: "Anyone!"

  Liu Yunba's face was covered in sweat as he hastily said, "No, big brother, absolutely not. This time, I will definitely follow your instructions."

  "Uh-huh."

  Xia Ye nodded silently, without refuting him.

  This time, he didn't know what was right or wrong either. However, no matter what, the child must not lose! If this opportunity is missed, it will never be found again.

  So he would stop at nothing! Even if it meant...

  Xia Ye suddenly stood up and said to Liu Yunba: "Second brother, go and arrange it, I want to visit the Second Elder."

  "Now?"

  Liu Yunba was shocked.

  "Yes, hurry!" Xia Ye said solemnly.

  "Alright, I'll arrange it right away." Liu Yunba nodded and quickly walked off.

  Xia Ye looked at him as he gradually walked away, and then muttered to himself: "This time, perhaps it's really going to be a turning point. Xia Man, you haven't made a move in ten years, what kind of strength do you have now? Are you still in the late stages of the Qi Xuan realm, at the peak of the Qi Xuan realm, or... have you already entered the Ning Hai realm?"

  Mountain Stronghold Trial, 29th day.

  Although it was already close to dusk at this time, the sun was still shining brightly and there were no clouds in sight.

  A team of over a hundred people was walking rapidly, with several horse-drawn carriages swaying behind them. This was the team led by Xia Lin. At this time, they were not far from Hei Feng Village, and everyone was not in a hurry. At this speed, after the sun sets, everyone will rest for a night, and tomorrow morning, they can return to the mountain village early.

  Sun Zhong was still walking in the front, carefully observing the surroundings while walking, ready to respond to any sudden changes. Xia Ming, on the other hand, was steadily following at the back of the group, with his breath held in, just like an ordinary Black Wind Gang disciple. However, if a sudden event were to occur, the first one to hit the enemy might not be Sun Zhong, but rather Xia Ming who was following at the back!

  Two men, one in front and one behind, clearly detected the surrounding situation. Along the way, they didn't know how many mountain bandits who wanted to launch a surprise attack were killed by them, and they gained some extra resources.

  Perhaps the most discordant place in the team was in the middle of the team, a handsome young man with a good appearance, who was tied up at this time and carried on his shoulders by a big man. He struggled and cried without tears under the scorching sun, while shouting loudly at the big man.

  This young man was Xia Cheng, who at a young age had followed his father and learned a whole bunch of miscellaneous things.

  Kill him and can't kill, let go and can't let go, Xia Lin simply let him be carried like this all the way, as long as he doesn't make trouble, it's fine, as for going back to settle accounts later... Hehe, Xia Lin didn't plan to let him live that long.

  Apart from these two distinctive features, another quiet place is inside the carriage where Xia Lin is.

  At this time, Xia Lin sat cross-legged, immersed in deep cultivation. Lu'er leaned against him, a smile on her face as she fanned him gently with a fan. Although she knew that during cultivation, one might not necessarily feel the heat, Lu'er still tirelessly fanned away, for helping Young Master was the most delightful thing to do.

  "Hmm, Young Master seems even more handsome than before." Lu'er's small face was flushed as she gazed at Young Master, her thoughts floating about ceaselessly. Taking advantage of Young Master's cultivation time, she could look at him very carefully.

  However, at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped. Lu'er, who was lost in thought, let out a cry of surprise and fell to one side. Xia Lin instantly opened his eyes and wrapped his arms around Lu'er's delicate body.

  "I say, young girl, can you still walk with a fan? What are you thinking?"

  Lu'er's small face turned red, she struggled out of Xia Lin's arms, quickly turning her face to the side, silent. Xia Lin saw this and couldn't help but smile, "This little girl."

  Gently lifting the curtain of the horse carriage, Xia Lin asked: "Are you ready to rest?"

  "No." Sun Zhong walked over and said seriously: "There is someone blocking the way ahead."

  "Really?"

  Summer frowned, and there was a person... On this road, even if someone encountered robbery, with the protection of two strong men, one with ninefold and one with eightfold physique, they would naturally be easily dealt with. Now it's just one person, isn't something wrong?

  "There's something wrong with that person," Sun Zhong said very seriously.

  "Come on, let's go take a look."

  Whoosh!

  One jumped down from the carriage, Xia Lin followed Sun Zhong to move forward. Soon, they arrived at the front of the team, and Xia Lin finally understood what Sun Zhong meant by "not right".

  One person!

  A young man who is no more than twenty years old!

  At this time, he was sitting right in the middle of the big road, with his legs crossed, and he did not see their team.

  Xia Lin looked at him carefully and also felt a sense of eeriness and mystery, this young man was not an ordinary person! Despite sitting there so calmly.

  "May I ask which friend is ahead?" Xia Lin asked with a bow, the other party was clearly here to intercept them, so Xia Lin directly got to the point.

  The young man sitting cross-legged finally had a reaction, his eyes slowly opened, and a sharp light burst out of his eyes, the sudden flash of brightness was startling.

  The young man looked up and glanced at Xia Lin, saying: "Zuo Haotian."

  Is it Haotian Xu?

  Xia Lian furrowed his brow, having never heard of this name before, nor had he ever heard that there was a family with the surname Zuo in Linjiang City.

  "What brings you here?" Xia Lin asked again.

  Zuo Haotian stretched out his finger and pointed at one of the cars in the convoy: "I want to take him away."

  "Really?"

  Xia Lin looked in the direction of his pointing finger, and her eyebrows suddenly rose. The person he was pointing at was actually Xia Cheng!

  Xia Cheng saw someone saving himself at this time, and he also struggled violently, although his mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip and his body was tied up tightly, and he was also kicking around everywhere.

  Xia Lin glanced at the robust man carrying Xia Cheng and said calmly: "Knock him out."

  "Yes."

  Zhuang Han let out a loud roar and with one punch sent Xia Cheng flying into a daze.

  Xia Lin sneered coldly in her heart, thinking that this move must have settled the outcome for Zuo Haotian.

  Let him go?

  What a joke!

  Xia Cheng was very clear about what kind of person his father was.

  At this time, they would absolutely be able to gather resources from who-knows-where within a day and take the top spot in the mountain stronghold. Although the rules of the mountain stronghold do not allow outsiders to interfere, Xia Ye had already gone crazy at this point, let alone with the second elder interfering from behind.

  So, before returning to the mountain stronghold, he was impossible to release Xia Shuang!

  Zuo Haotian coldly raised an eyebrow and glanced at the crowd, his gaze still fixed on Xia Lin as he said calmly: "I don't want to waste words, let go of Xia Cheng, I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

  "What a big tone!"

  Sun Zhong angrily shouted from the side, "A young man who is unknown to them just wants to stop them like this. Is he out of his mind?"

  Xia Linshen blocked him after he arrived, then said to Zuo Haotian: "Sorry, this is an internal matter of the Black Wind Fortress, and we absolutely do not allow outsiders to intervene."

  Zuo Haotian nodded slightly, neither affirming nor denying, then slowly stood up.

  He was slender, with a sharp gaze and sword-like eyebrows. His facial features were clear-cut and angular, making him a handsome and elegant man. He wore a white robe that exuded an air of luxury and refinement, clearly not something an ordinary family could afford.

  "Master, I'll go and meet this arrogant fellow." Sun Zhong said indignantly.

  Xia Lin shook his head and stared tightly at Zuo Hao Tian, "Take two steps back, I feel a sense of unease. You and Xia Ming are not to be trifled with, don't make any rash moves."

  It seemed to be in response to Xia Lin's words that a faint white light suddenly appeared on Zuo Haotian's body, dazzling and warm.

  "What kind of ghost thing!" The Black Wind Fortress disciple exclaimed in terror.

  "How can this person still be radiant? It's not even a mysterious aura."

  "Could it be the strong one from the realm of the cyclone?"

  "Impossible! I've seen Cyclone Boundary strong before, that's just a release of mystical energy, where did this whole body emitting white light come from?"

  The disciples of Heifeng Village looked at this scene with incredulity, and Sun Zhong and Xia Ming's eyebrows also furrowed.

  Xia Lin narrowed his eyes and took a glance, with countless thoughts flooding his mind, memories of years past surfacing. The introduction to a certain book he had read before suddenly flashed through his mind, and Xia Lin's expression changed drastically.

  "Back off! Back off right now!"

  "Sun Zhong, protect Lü'er!"

  "Charge, Xia Ming, with preparations for attack!"

  Xia Lin let out three loud and fierce shouts in a row, causing everyone to be shocked and quickly retreat several meters. Sun Zhong tightly guarded in front of Lü'er, while Xia Ming placed his giant bow in front of him, with sharp arrows at the ready, able to attack at any moment.

  "I hope... I guess I was wrong." Xia Lin didn't back down, watching Zuo Hao Tian mutter to himself.

  What seemed like a slow process had only taken a few breaths, the dazzling white light gradually disappeared, leaving behind a weak but warm white light. However, it was this faint white light that made everyone shocked and lost their color!

  "What the heck is this thing?!"

  "Is this... is this a monster?"

  "Is this a ghost?"

  The disciples of Heifeng Village looked at Zuo Haotian with some horror, and it was no wonder they were surprised.

  Right in front of Zuo Haotian, another Zuo Haotian appeared before everyone's eyes, identical to him without any difference. His entire body seemed to be made up of white mist, and at this moment, his whole body was faintly shimmering with a soft white mist, like a soul.

  The only difference is that this figure is all white and in a semi-illusory state.

  Xia Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and exchanged a glance with Xia Ming. Both saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes. This battle was likely to be tough.

  No one had ever thought of it, nor had they anticipated that just once, a mountain trial would encounter the legendary... Namer!!!!
