"Go!"
At the same moment, Nan Chaoyu and Mu Qihan also heard the shout and immediately rushed into the woods.
"Brother Feng Ji, you go first. Don't worry about me. Take the thing and go quickly."
In an open area, Xiao Tian was being protected by Feng Ji behind him.
Both of them were wounded. Feng Ji had a hideous cut on one of his arms.
Xiao Tian took out something from his bosom and tried to stuff it into Feng Ji's hand.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ji blocked it back. He glanced at the surrounding people and whispered, "I'll hold them off later. You find an opportunity to leave."
They had all seen their master's attitude towards Mu Qihan. This person was Mu Qihan's follower and seemed to be highly regarded by Mu Qihan.
Even for the sake of their master, they had to protect this person.
Moreover, they were like comrades-in-arms. Abandoning a comrade was not his style!
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, the man opposite sneered coldly, "You have some nice ideas, but do you think you can leave?"
Xiao Tian glared angrily at the leading man and scolded, "An Hu, the young master has treated you well. Are you being worthy of him by doing this?"
An Hu raised his eyebrows, showing no sign of guilt on his face. "Xiao Tian, I only have one master. Besides, the young master just wanted a fighter. Haven't I done enough?"
As he spoke, as if recalling something, his expression turned fierce. "If there's anyone to blame, it's just that your master has a life too hard. If he had died somewhere, wouldn't everything have been solved?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian's eyes turned red. If it weren't for Feng Ji holding him back, he might have already rushed up to fight.
An Hu didn't take him seriously at all. He stared at Feng Ji and moved the knife in his hand.
Feng Ji was constantly watching An Hu's movements. Seeing this, he knew that An Hu was about to rush up.
He pushed Xiao Tian back and held his long sword in front of him.
An Hu knew that Xiao Tian had some skills.
What he feared was the man standing in front of Xiao Tian.
Although they were both mid - level cultivators, this man not only withstood his attacks but also protected Xiao Tian.
But now that one of his arms was injured, An Hu really didn't believe that he could still defeat him.
The swords were unsheathed, and a great battle was about to break out.
When Nan Chaoyu and the other two arrived, this was the scene they saw - An Hu was holding a knife, and five or six people around were approaching Feng Ji and Xiao Tian.
When her gaze fell on Feng Ji's arm, her eyes narrowed, and her expression turned cold.
At this moment, An Hu had rushed out!
"Bang!"
Dust flew up. An Hu was sent flying and crashed into a big tree, breaking the tree in half. One could imagine how much strength Nan Chaoyu had used.
"Master!"
Feng Ji's eyes lit up when he saw Nan Chaoyu.
Nan Chaoyu nodded and scanned the area.
An Hu's subordinates around immediately became vigilant and pointed their weapons at Nan Chaoyu.
Nan Chaoyu didn't even look at them. She walked directly to Feng Ji's side, lifted his arm, and asked, "Who did this?"
"I got cut during the melee. It's not a big deal."
Nan Chaoyu didn't say a word. Her gaze shifted to Xiao Tian behind Feng Ji.
Xiao Tian shrank his neck and leaned back behind Feng Ji.
Wuwuwu...
This girl's expression was really scary. She was no longer the one who used to smile brightly at their young master.
Seeing his master looking at Xiao Tian, Feng Ji quickly explained, "Master, your subordinate and Xiao Tian got separated and landed near here. Xiao Tian found a map, but unexpectedly, these people surrounded us."
After a pause, he whispered again, "It should be aimed at Young Master Mu."
Nan Chaoyu paused and looked up at the people around. She felt that a few of them looked familiar.
She turned back to ask Mu Qihan what was going on, but she didn't see him.
"An Hu, was it you who arranged the people on the fighting stage?"
By this time, Mu Qihan had walked up to An Hu.
Nan Chaoyu's kick was quite powerful. Even An Hu couldn't get up after being kicked.
He lay on the ground, struggling to lift his neck, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Eldest Young Master, An Hu is just a person doing someone else's bidding. Even if you kill me, you can't do anything to that person!"
There was a nonchalant expression on his face, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water!
Mu Qihan didn't get angry. His expression remained calm, as if he hadn't heard An Hu's words.
He glanced at the man on the ground and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. "You've done such a lousy job for someone else. How dare you shout in front of this young master?"
The man on the ground was stunned and simply lay on the ground.
Playing dead!
This made Nan Chaoyu laugh.
She was sure that the disgust in Mu Qihan's eyes was definitely not because An Hu was not strong enough, but because he was dirty!
Seeing Nan Chaoyu's gaze on his young master, Xiao Tian took two steps and rushed to Mu Qihan's side.
He stuffed the thing in his hand to Mu Qihan and said, "Young Master, An Hu just wanted to rob this thing. He has always been the Second Young Master's man. He has evil intentions."
Mu Qihan took it but didn't unfold it. He looked at An Hu and said in a low voice, "If he didn't want to go to that place, he could have just said so. There aren't so many perfect things in this world. Neither Father nor this young master will tolerate his wavering."
After saying that, regardless of An Hu's reaction, he walked up to Nan Chaoyu.
He handed the thing in his hand to her and said, "This was found by Xiao Tian. It's a small formation of an illusionary array and can be attached to weapons."
Nan Chaoyu didn't take it. She looked at Mu Qihan and raised her eyebrows.
"Your comrade saved Xiao Tian. I should be grateful. You can make use of this thing."
"This thing is very important to you, isn't it?"
Xiao Tian was a bit anxious to see his young master giving this thing to Nan Chaoyu.
This thing was even more important to the young master than the Flower of the Soul - Devouring Sea. How could the young master give it to Nan Chaoyu!
Hearing Nan Chaoyu's words at this moment, he quickly said, "That's right. The young master's Dead - Soul Bone Fan is only missing the last formation map to be completed. One of the most important reasons for us to enter the Soul - Devouring Sea Secret Realm was to find this map."
Such formation maps were hard to come by. This one in the Soul - Devouring Sea Secret Realm was extremely crucial.
"Xiao Tian, if you keep talking nonsense, you don't have to follow me anymore."
"Young Master..."
"You don't have to blame Xiao Tian. I won't take this thing."
Nan Chaoyu glanced at Feng Ji's arm. "Nor do you have to feel sorry. Since we're traveling together, it's only natural that we help each other. But I won't let that person off so easily."
Mu Qihan didn't take back the drawing. He was a bit stubborn. "I don't want to owe anyone a favor."
Nan Chaoyu's face darkened, and her tone was a bit low. "Do we need to draw such a clear line between us?"
"I..." Mu Qihan suddenly had a feeling of being stuck with someone. But looking at the expression on Nan Chaoyu's face.
It seemed that if he said one more word, she would cry.
