Chapter 75 Fall Into a Trap

“Give my child back!”

The hoarse voice cut through the night sky, and the woman touched her throat, unbelievable that she could speak finally.

Xu Linghe’s heart trembled, when he saw Xiao Douya’s mother struggling in the crowd. Xu Linghe flew with the wind and held up the woman. Chengyi did not think that his Senior Brother would go to save the woman. In fact, they had planned to go to Si Shui. Why did Senior Brother mind other’s business? Besides, Ying Fu’s plan was messed up. On the clouds, Zhu Jiuyin was about to lead the original souls to Si Shui when something unexpected happened, which irritated Ying Fu a lot. However, Xu Linghe could not mind so much, but could not bear to see the woman hurt. Even he could not figure out why he was worried about the masked woman, even if she had nothing to do with himself. Out of Xiao Qi’s expectation, Xu Linghe took action much faster than him. In the distance, Nascent Soul held the little boy and disappeared in the night. Xiao Qi followed him. It seemed that Nascent Soul was not afraid that the fire tribe would be extinguished.

“Xiao Douya is taken away by Nascent Soul.”

Wuyou tried to get rid of the man’s arms anxiously. The flooding crowd surrounded them. The people of the Immense Sea huddled together to witness how their Master to guide the original souls to Si Shui. Holding the woman in the arms, Xu Linghe leapt over the crowd and ran after the man who had taken Xiao Douya away. Xu Linghe knew the thief well, but he did not know why Nascent Soul took away Xiao Douya. Wuyou was more worried about her child, and also could not figure out why Nascent Soul did that, since she was not the Commander-in-chief of the Fairy Kingdom any longer and had no more interest conflicts with him. When Xu Linghe put Wuyou down, Nascent Soul had disappeared. Looking at the empty street, Wuyou could not support herself due to fear and weakness. “Why is my child always dogged by misfortunes?” When the two passed the alley, no trace of the child had been found. Xu Linghe spread his Spirit Power to search for Xiao Douya. Meanwhile, Xiao Qi chased Nascent Souls all the way. When entering an alley, Nascent Soul slipped into a family, a rather ordinary house. As soon as Xiao Qi walked in it, the courtyard was well-lit immediately. In the light, Nascent Soul held the little boy. And Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Douya closely. Perhaps Nascent Soul had conjured some sorcery, and Xiao Douya slept well. Xiao Qi knew well what Nascent Soul wanted. Xiao Qi once was willing to give up benefits for Xiaoyao, and it encouraged Nascent Soul to act more recklessly. And tonight, Nascent Soul took Xiao Douya away and tried to coerce Xiao Qi into submission. Then, Nascent Soul realized that Xiao Xi could really give up everything for Jiang Wuyou.

“This little boy is not my child, and has nothing to do with me.”

“Really?”

Nascent Soul condensed his Spirit Power, which made Xiao Qi’s heart in suspense. But thinking why Nascent Soul took away the child, Xiao Qi calmed himself down a bit.

“Do you have the strength to kill me?”

Xiao Qi threw cold glances at Nascent Soul, and Nascent Soul could not help but retreat several steps with fear. And the little boy in the arms was woken up suddenly. When he saw clearly that he was not in her mother’s arms, the little boy tried to break away from the constraint. Nascent Soul raised the little boy with one hand. For Nascent Soul, the little boy was his chip now, and he was pretty sure that Xiao Qi would not leave the child, but he just wanted to see how Xiao Qi would injure himself and forced Xiao Qi to taste the feeling of humiliation. The child in his hand reddened, but Nascent Soul would not be tender-hearted.

“This child is very tender. I’m afraid to hurt him carelessly.”

Nascent Soul laughed crankily, and he knew that he would be the victorious part.

“Uncle, save me.”

The little boy’s tender voice chilled Xiao Qi’s heart. This was Xiaoyao’s child whom she gave birth to after conceiving for ten months. Xiao Qi thought, “Am I so hardhearted?” Looking at the changing expression on the man’s face, Nascent Soul knew that he won the bet, so he slashed his saber out. Xiao Qi’s arms was cut bloody open, and blood dropped along his clothes. Nascent Soul wanted to destroy Xiao Qi’s pride and give him a taste of being compelled, just as he had been forced to the cliff by Xiao Qi. Nascent Soul gave another slash on Xiao Qi’s slink, leaving a cut with bone visible. Inside the house, a person was staring outside. She was Chidi’s newly-married wife named Xuan Ji. In order to expand his influence, Chidi married the Goddess in Baize, Xuan Ji, after he became the Devil God. During the journey to the Immense Sea, Chidi took his wife with him and remained under cover in the alley. Xuan Ji preferred quietness to noise. Chidi cared about his wife very much, so he set a defensive cover before leaving there. But unexpectedly, Nascent Soul barged in, which displeased Xuan Ji very much. But moved by the scene, Xuan Ji thought that Xiao Qi was a man full of sentiment, and appreciated him very much. However, what Xuan Ji did not know was that Xiao Qi did that only for love. If it had nothing to do with him, he would become ruthless. Take what had happened in Xiaoyao’s Joy Hall as an example, how innocent the common people were when they had been killed by Chidi. Xu Linghe could sacrifice his life for his faith, while Xiao Qi only cared about Xiaoyao’s life and death. Although Xiao Qi was cruel, merciless, and cold-blooded, his love for Xiaoyao was incomparable but so selfish that he wanted to possess her himself. For Xuan Ji who was used to seeing the fights for authority, when she watched a man willing to be humiliated for a little child, her silent heart was rippled.

Outside the room, Nascent Soul was rather insatiable, and he just wanted Xiao Qi to feel the pain of humiliation. Nascent Soul slashed the saber, leaving deep cut with bones visible every time. But Xiao Qi had to stand that, because this was the only thing he could do for Xiaoyao’s child. Xiao Douya had never seen such scene before, and he kept crying, worried about this uncle too much. In his little heart, he would remember who did well to him. Nascent Soul was unwilling to let Xiao Qi go easily. The most effective way to destroy a person was to debone his pride. Nascent Soul held the little boy high.

“Kneel down.”

Blood soaked Xiao Qi’s clothes, and he had never been humiliated like that before. But Nascent Soul grasped Xiao Qi’s weakest point. So Xiao Qi swore inwardly, “One day, I will peel off your skin and pull out your veins.” Seeing the hatred in Xiao Qi’s eyes, Nascent Soul lifted the child up, ready to hit him. With the palm, Xiao Douya would die without doubt. Then, Xiao Qi knelt his knees on the ground, which surprised Xuan Ji a lot. She believed that the man would returned what Nascent Soul had done to him with hundreds of humiliation than now, since the man’s pride was being trampled, and that Nascent Soul would not end well. Xiao Douya looked at the uncle, thinking that if there was someone who had to kneel down, it should be his mother, and why the uncle was kneeling to the ugly man. Xiao Douya cried with grievances, and this tough boy bit the back of Nascent Soul’s hand tightly. Nascent Soul gave him a heavy hand, and then blood drops filtered on Xiao Douya’s forehead. The sight tugged at Xiao Qi’s heartstrings. How dared Nascent Soul to hurt Xiao Douya, since Xiao Qi himself could not bear injuring this little boy? Then, Xiao Qi gave a slam toward Nascent Soul, but Nascent Soul was so base that he used Xiao Douya toward the attack off. Xiao Qi had to scatter his Spirit Power helplessly. Nascent Soul laughed wildly...

The woman staggered along the distant alley, and her back seemed thin but strong. Xu Linghe diffused his divine consciousness to detect where the little boy was. When the divine consciousness penetrated a house, Xu Linghe could feel the strong Spirit Power. “Does Nascent Soul hide there?” Xu Linghe held the woman and flew over the high wall. When they entered the courtyard, the courtyard was in a mess. Apparently, there had been a ferocious battle before. Xu Linghe searched carefully, hoping to find trails of clues. When Wuyou found a piece of rag cloth in the corner, her heart was down to the bottom with fear and coldness. It was a corner of her child’s clothes stained with some blood. Wuyou rushed into the inner room. Afraid that something unexpected would happen to the woman, Xu Linghe followed closely. The two entered the room. Wuyou walked along the wall. Xu Linghe glanced over the room, finding the smoke of the incense burner on the desk was swirling and the water in the tea cup was steaming. What made the owner leave in such a hurry? Xu Linghe searched the house carefully, hoping to find something unusual. Suddenly, the woman’s sob interrupted Xu Linghe. Anything bad happened to Xiao Douya? Xu Linghe flew out of the room and found a tiny figure in the corner far away. Xu Linghe was startled at the sight. “Is Xiao Douya really killed?” When Xu Linghe got closer, his suspending heart could fall finally. Someone had conjured Deception Technique, so the Xiao Douya on the ground was only a piece of worn rag.

“Xiao Douya.”

Holding the rag, the woman choked with sobs. Xu Linghe wanted to comfort the woman, telling her that Xiao Douya would be fine. But he did not know how to say it as the words were just on his lips. He would not feel a mother’s love for her child. The woman’s violently sad cry pierced Xu Linghe’s heart and left a cut there.

“Please save Xiao Douya.”

Wuyou held the clothes tightly. Xu Linghe did not want to see the woman crying, so he swiped his spiritual fingers to break the deception technique. When Wuyou saw clearly the clothes in her arms, she felt relieved that Xiao Douya was still alive and said to herself not to be discouraged, because her child was still waiting for her to rescue him. Wuyou picked herself up from the ground and walked to the courtyard. She had not discovered just now that there was a courtyard on the right. And the most urgent thing now was to find the child.

Xiao Douya’s scent became thicker, and the scent came from the ancient well. Xu Linghe followed the woman and searched carefully. Wuyou flipped over and jumped into the deserted well. Xu Linghe never thought that the woman would jump in, so he followed. The well had been deserted for some time with lush plants everywhere. Stepping forward, Wuyou was surprised at the scene on the bottom of the well, where it could be named “the Kingdom of Plants”. Some unknown plants grew so fast that they would twine around when being trampled. It was too late for Wuyou to dodge, and she was twined tightly by the soft vines. The man behind her waved his Spirit Power, and then those vines roared like beasts. Whoever the woman was, Xu Linghe would protect her well. The two looked around, hoping that Xiao Douya was nearby. But suddenly, the dry well shook for some unknown reason. Wuyou lost her balance and fell to the ground. Because of inertia, she kept sliding down to the other end of the well, where she heard a familiar voice. “The voice of my child...”

Wuyou rushed to the voice excitedly. Xu Linghe chased up to stop her, but it was too late. How to stop a mother’s love for her child? Xu Linghe had to see the woman miss her footing and fall into a mechanism, where burning black iron thorns enclosed the woman tightly. Not until then did Wuyou realize that she fell into other’s trap and that all the things in the courtyard were arranged deliberately with the final aim to lure her to the dry well. Wuyou was pressed hard by the black iron, and any carelessness would kill her there. Xu Linghe tried several times to save the woman over the mechanism, but with some attempts, he still failed. A common person could not stand the burning black iron thorns. Xiao Douya’s voice was used to bait Wuyou. Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter rang overhead.

“It is you! It is small world. Unexpected, right? The Sect Master of Kunlun, we meet again.”

“Let the woman go.”

“Let her go? Xu Linghe, she is your wife and the Spirit Master of the Teal Hill. I am her enemy of extinguishing her tribe. Release her, and then let her kill me?”

Xu Linghe was lost in his thoughts. “Chidi said the woman is my wife, but why don’t I have an image about her? When did I get married with the woman? Is the Grandmaster who cleared away my memory about her to make me the Master of Kunlun with my whole heart? Is the woman my wife?” Xu Linghe’s heart fluctuated, but he had to calm himself down, because the foremost task at present was how to rescue the woman and Xiao Douya. On the other hand, Wuyou who had been constrained by the black iron was burned with hatred when she saw her enemy. All had been committed by Chidi. Wuyou hated that she was so useless that she was unable to stab her enemy to death. Her eyes under the mask blazed with hatred.

“Lure me here, not for that woman, right?”

“What a pity... Tonight is a good opportunity to save Black Emperor. But you have to stay in the well. Xu Linghe, do you think whether you are deserved it or not?”

“Black Emperor is also your Master.”

“Master? I’ve already forgotten that. Now I am a God. What kind of things Black Emperor is?”
