Chapter 1570: Chapter 1392: A Stormy Night in Jianghu
“Just for a moment, it won’t take long,” Xia Dabao said. “If you’re worried, you could find an umbrella. I’ll shield myself with it and make sure I don’t leave your line of sight,” Xia Dabao often went hunting in the mountains when she was in Peach Blossom Village and knew how to handle emergencies.
“Yun Xiao, if you don’t nod in agreement soon, what am I supposed to do if I end up wetting my pants?” The more urgent the situation, the harder it became to hold it in.
After a long while, Yun Xiao finally moved his lips, then pointed at the tree behind him, “Okay, then go, right behind that tree. Call out to me immediately if anything happens!”
“Alright, I got it,” Xia Dabao said.
She then handed Axian over to Yun Xiao, “Then you help me take care of Axian, don’t let him run around.”
“Go ahead!”
“…” Xia Dabao felt elated and immediately ran towards the tree.
First, she checked to make sure there was no one around. Once she was sure there was nobody there, she squatted down with a sigh of relief. The area around the tree was full of weeds. Once she squatted down, she could hide her entire body, with no need to worry about exposure.
But while Xia Dabao was preoccupied with relieving herself, a figure suddenly flashed near Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao was on alert and immediately turned to face the opponent, but the person was targeting Axian. Every move was directed at Axian, which forced Yun Xiao to fend off the blows while protecting Axian.
The attacker had exceptionally high martial arts skills—likely one of the smaller priests from the Moon Shadow Clan, one of Nanzhao Country’s four great masters, someone whose martial arts were not inferior to Yun Xiao’s.
Yun Xiao put up a strong resistance, but the opponent didn’t wish to drag out the combat. After a few exchanges, the assailant actually withdrew.
And in that moment, Yun Xiao let out an internal cry of alarm, Not good!
He hurried towards the spot where Xia Dabao had squatted, but there was no sign of her.
Yun Xiao quickly blew a whistle, and before long Bei Shan arrived. Bei Shan was about to ask what had happened, why the call was so urgent, but Yun Xiao only threw out a sentence, “Take good care of Axian. I’m going after Xia Dabao!”
“Xia… Xia Dabao is missing?” No sooner had Bei Shan spoken than Yun Xiao’s figure had vanished, leaving Bei Shan staring at Axian with a look of panic, “This is bad.”
Axian was also very frightened, just looking at Bei Shan with wide eyes, “My sister won’t be in trouble.”
“Your sister won’t be in any trouble, of course. Wherever she’s gone, she won’t die just yet. I’m talking about Yun Xiao.”
“…”
Yun Xiao’s figure moved swiftly through the mountain forest.
His mind was crystal clear. The priest feigned attacking Axian while another person kidnapped Xia Dabao.
Xia Dabao’s martial arts skills were strong and weren’t affected by Nanzhao Country’s gu. So whoever kidnapped her must be a master.
The Moon Shadow Clan had only one master, which meant the other had to be from the Moon Heart Tribe.
The Holy Mother of the Moon Heart Tribe?
He absolutely couldn’t allow Xia Dabao to fall into their hands.
Because the Moon Shadow Clan and the Moon Heart Tribe had clearly already conspired to work together this time. Once Xia Dabao was captured by them, they would surely want to share her blood. But Xia Dabao had already sacrificed too much blood for the Chi Xia Clan, and she wouldn’t survive the continuous bloodletting.
She would die.
Yun Xiao exerted all his strength to pursue in the Moon Heart Tribe’s direction.
He chased with all his might, and since the Holy Mother was carrying Xia Dabao, Yun Xiao soon caught up to the Holy Mother near the top of a mountain.
“Whoosh, whoosh,” two sounds echoed through the mountain forest. Two short arrows shot through the jungle, aiming directly at the Holy Mother’s back.
