Chapter 17: The Grove
"Chase after him, don't let him run!"
Wang Dong, covered in blood, quickly ran to the alley. Threw a bloody garment to one of the forks in the road, and then hid in a weed stack. Cover up the bloody weeds and cover your mouth and nose to keep your breathing to a minimum.
Soon, dozens of people also ran over, clubs and swords in their hands, looking around. Picking up the bloody remnants on the ground, he hurried over.
After everyone walked away, Wang Dong in the haystack breathed a sigh of relief, slowly climbed out, and sat down on the ground.
"Whew, it's dangerous. For this, I almost put my life on the line. Shaking the yellowed scroll in his hand, Wang Dong showed a pleased smile.
Shaking the earth, Xiaojiazhen clan exercises, yellow rank intermediate martial arts. The grade is not very high, but for Wang Dong, who does not have a martial art, it is simply like a tiger with wings!
In addition to being happy, Wang Dong saw the hairpin lying quietly on the ground, and his smile gradually converged.
Ling Bing'er's stuff?
After another look, Wang Dong picked up the hairpin on the ground.
The hairpin was made of jade, and it had already been broken in half on the ground. Judging from the texture and residual aroma, there is no doubt about Ling Bing'er.
"Why are you here!"
Wang Dong, who was thinking about it, suddenly heard a loud shout. scolded carelessly, and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.
It's just, but why is that voice so familiar? When he looked back, he saw Ling Haonan rushing towards him.
"Master Ling, what a coincidence. Wang Dong stopped and smiled awkwardly, thinking in his heart how to deal with this late-stage martial artist of the Soul Condensation Realm.
Just to deal with the pursuit of the Xiao family, Wang Dong had already used all his strength, relying on the skills and experience of his previous life to barely escape. Moreover, he was also injured.
However, Wang Dong also knew that Xiao Hu left without doing anything because of something, so he was able to escape. If you directly face the late stage of the Soul Condensing Realm, you will have no chance of winning!
"To answer my question, why are you here!, don't you be a thief, pry open the chai door and escape!" As he spoke, Ling Haonan's palm gathered a large amount of soul power. Its strong power can kill Wang Dong with one palm!
"If I say that I was brought out by Miss Bing'er, would you believe it?"
"Where is Bing'er!" Hearing Wang Dong's words and seeing the broken hosta in his hand, Ling Haonan instantly had a bad premonition in his heart.
The jade pendant on Ling Haonan's body, and the broken hosta, are engraved with induction inscriptions. If the hosta is broken, it is very likely that Ling Bing'er is in danger!
Seeing that Ling Haonan's attention was diverted, Wang Dong let go of his hanging heart. Shaking his head, he said, "We encountered difficulties from the Xiao family and were separated from Miss Bing'er. This hairpin was also discovered here just now. ”
Seeing Wang Dong's bloodstains all over his body, Ling Haonan's heart was already half convinced. The Ling family, the Xiao family, and the Chen family have always been hostile, and although the Chen family targets the Ling family everywhere, they are also above board, and they have never made some small moves in secret.
On the contrary, it is the Xiao family, who often makes ghosts behind their backs, disrupting the business of the Huang Ling family and ruining the reputation of the Ling family. In this regard, I am not surprised. But this time, the Xiao family actually hit their daughter with the idea, and they couldn't swallow this breath no matter what!
"Follow me to Xiao's house!"
"Wait a minute, look over there!" Wang Ran noticed that there were several mud marks on the black mud pavement that had been soaked in water. There are a few less obvious footprints on it. Some are light, some are heavy.
Ling Haonan glanced at the ground that Wang Dong was pointing to, took a deep look at Wang Dong, and then turned his gaze to the shoe prints. Looking at the direction it leads, it looks like a forest in the eastern suburbs.
Is it the Xiao family or the forests in the eastern suburbs? Ling Haonan was a little hesitant, if he made a wrong judgment, his daughter might be in danger!
Seeing that Ling Haonan was still hesitating, Wang Dong walked to the side of those footprints and compared his own feet. said: "The feet are really not small, it must be a strong man." Looking at the texture of the sole, it should have gone in that direction. ”
The direction of Wang Dong's finger was the same as Ling Haonan thought.
"Do you think that the person who captured Bing'er was going to Xiao's house or the woods in the eastern suburbs?" Nodding, Ling Haonan asked in surprise.
"I think it's the woods in the eastern suburbs, and the shoe prints are deep and shallow, if it's not two people with a big difference in weight, then someone forcibly took Miss Bing'er away!
Ling Haonan's eyes were fixed on Wang Dong, and he said in a deep voice: "If you successfully find Bing'er, it's fine, if you can't find it, I want your life!"
Then, he hurried towards the eastern suburbs of the woods.
Although Wang Dong was a little annoyed, he didn't have a seizure, his pace quickened, and he slowly followed. Although, the muscles and bones on his body hurt as if they were torn.
......
"Alright, let's tie it up here. ”
In the woods on the eastern outskirts, two strong men threw the unconscious Ling Bing'er to the ground, then untied the rope and tied it to a thicker tree.
"I don't know why Xiao Li, this kid went, so slowly. ”
"Whatever, just get the soul stone, don't worry about the rest. It's just a pity that this little girl is a baby. The eldest brother of the strong men chuckled and shook his head with a little pity.
The second brother on the side, although he had a lot of thoughts about Ling Bing'er, but when he thought of the soul stone that was about to arrive, he forgot about it. After all, the soul power contained in a soul fixing stone can withstand several months of penance cultivation! When you step into the middle stage of the soul condensing realm, how many women can't get it?
Squirming, just when the two of them were thinking about it, there was a noise in the bushes that were one person high.
"Who!" the two of them picked up the stones and sticks on the ground, and the louder the noise, the tighter the creature in their hands. On his forehead, a few drops of cold sweat flowed.
"It's me. The bushes were peeled open, revealing Xiao Li's figure.
"How could you be here!" the eyes of the two strong men showed a hint of horror. Just now, they were staring at the city gate, and they didn't find a single person coming out!
"You don't have to worry about that. Xiao Li said indifferently, and from his arms, he took out four soul stones and a yellow piece of paper.
"How did you copy it by hand?" The strong man led by him had a little more anger in his eyes.
"How, don't?"
"That's not what was promised to us. ”
Xiao Li tossed the four soul stones in his hand and snorted, "It's good to copy it by hand, can you still deceive you?" Ling Haonan, that old guy, is watching this thing closely. If I had taken the scroll, I would have been able to get here?"
"What kind of attitude, aren't you afraid that we will rob things and ask for merit and rewards from the Ling family?"
"Do you dare to go to Ling's house again?" looked at Ling Bing'er who was unconscious on the side, Xiao Li's face was full of mockery.
"Don't talk nonsense, show us the Soul Stone first. The strong man knew that it was pointless to say more, so he stretched out his hand to grab the soul stone, but was dodged by Xiao Li in advance.
"Want to go back?"
"Don't worry, the things you promised me are not over yet. ”
The two strong men both looked at Xiao Li with disdain, and said, "You beasts are beasts, don't pull Lao Tzu! Bring it quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!"
Seeing the two strong men walking towards him, Xiao Li said unhurriedly: "If it goes well, I'll add another piece by one person!"
This...... The two strong men hesitated, the temptation of the soul stone was not small. But then it occurred to him that since he could add two pieces, wouldn't that mean that there was more on him?
Soon, they all stared at Xiao Li with bad intentions in their eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Li immediately pinched the soul-attracting technique, and sneered: "I can tell you first, I didn't put the other two soul-fixing stones on my body, if you mess around, not only will you not get those two soul-fixing stones, but this soul-attracting technique will never be with you!"
"Brother, what are you talking about, we just agree. With our relationship, how can we mess around!" The strong man patted his chest and said with a smile.
"Hmph, it's better to be like that. ”
After taking out two soul stones and throwing them at the two of them, Xiao Li turned around and brushed Ling Bing'er's injured face, and said with a lewd smile: "Today, I will let you taste the taste of being humiliated!"
Reaching out, he threw his robe over the bushes and hung it. A token with the words 'Xiao Family' slid down the placket into the bushes, and when the breeze blew, it was hidden by dead leaves.
