Chapter 107: Xiner Is in Danger

Page 1 of 3

Watching his Master depart, Lin Cheng turned around, mounted the Clearwind Sword, and flew toward Chang’an City.

Before he had even reached the outskirts of Chang’an, a long rainbow streak approached from the distance. The moment its rider spotted him, she hurried over.

Lin Cheng naturally recognized her. He was about to laugh and greet her, but the panic on her face made his heart jolt.

“Senior Sister Hanmeng, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Lin Cheng, quickly—the Longmine Mountains...” Hanmeng gasped, her breathing ragged and agitated.

“Take your time. What happened?”

“Xu Xin’er has been abducted!”

“What?” Lin Cheng cried out in shock.

Hanmeng caught her breath before continuing. “Senior Brother Liu Feng, Senior Brother Jiuchi, and the others have already gone after them. They sent me to seek reinforcements... Is there any way to contact our Master?”

Lin Cheng had no attention to spare for anything else. He hurriedly asked, “Where are the Longmine Mountains?”

“The enemy is powerful. We cannot take any risks... I’ll go after our Master and the others. Hopefully, I’ll make it in time...” After giving Lin Cheng the location, Hanmeng immediately set off toward the sect.

Without another thought, Lin Cheng leaped into the air and rushed toward the Longmine Mountains.

The Longmine Mountains lay several thousand miles northwest of Chang’an City. Few people had ventured there over the years, and the region was desolate and barren.

At that moment, two figures landed before the mountains. The man in front spoke first.

“We’re still a step too late...”

Looking at the fluctuations from the tracking artifact in his hand, Liu Feng frowned deeply. “That makes no sense... The tracker clearly pointed here...”

As he spoke, he drew two fingers across his eyes, opening his spiritual sight, and slowly scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he strode forward.

He picked up a blue jade talisman with a dull sheen from a patch of grass and closed his spiritual eyes.

In a low voice, he said, “They’re somewhere inside these mountains.”

The two were about to enter when another streak of light swept over from behind. Fatty Lin and the others quickly jumped down from their flying palm-leaf fan and hurried forward.

“Senior Brothers, did you catch them?”

Jiuchi shook his head. “Both of them have reached the Mysterious Core Realm, and one of them is even unfathomably powerful... Neither the First Senior Brother nor I could withstand a single exchange with him.”

Liu Feng said, “They’re inside the Longmine Mountains. Jiuchi and I will go in. The rest of you stay here and wait for reinforcements from the sect.”

The group exchanged glances before nodding helplessly. Their own cultivation was too weak. Not only would they be unable to help inside the mountains, they might even burden the two senior brothers.

“Senior Brothers, please be careful. You must bring Sister Xin’er back safely.” Little Cui’s eyes were filled with hope and worry.

As she watched the two men leap into the mountains, Fatty Lin gently patted Little Cui’s shoulder and comforted her. “Don’t worry too much. I believe the two senior brothers will rescue Xu Xin’er.”

Deep within the Longmine Mountains, halfway up a cliff, stood a cave dwelling carved out by human hands. Inside, a handsome man dressed in a blue robe embroidered with gold sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Sensing movement outside, he slowly opened them.

With a flash of light, two figures cloaked in gray robes appeared at the entrance. One of them held a stunning young woman by the arm.

It was Xu Xin’er.

“Young Master, we have captured her...” one of the gray-robed men said respectfully.

Xu Xin’er’s spiritual power had been sealed, leaving her utterly helpless. She could only be shoved forward by the two men.

“How can you treat my guest with such rudeness?” the blue-robed man said, pretending to be displeased.

When Xu Xin’er saw the man before her clearly, she suddenly remembered him. Wasn’t he the man who had traveled with Dong Wuwang on Sky Lake Island that day?

“You... you’re Dongfang Hao.”

The blue-robed man smiled faintly. “I never imagined Xin’er had been thinking of me too...”

“Who was thinking of you? Let me go at once, or my senior brothers will never forgive you when they arrive...” The sight of his lecherous expression made her feel sick.

A cold smile curled across Dongfang Hao’s lips. “Jiuchi? Liu Feng? Or that pretty-faced Lin Cheng? If they were capable of saving you, how could they have allowed you to be ‘invited’ here?”

He slowly looked her over, his expression growing dazed. The girl before him had a graceful figure, a snow-white neck, a gently rising chest, and a slender waist. Beneath her blue-green dress, flashes of pale skin could be glimpsed. Every detail constantly stirred the desire within him.

Coming around behind her, Dongfang Hao caught her off guard and inhaled deeply beside her shoulder and neck. At once, a surge of lust flared within him.

Xu Xin’er reacted and hurriedly staggered away. Fear and helplessness filled her eyes as she trembled.

“Don’t... don’t do anything reckless...”

Dongfang Hao’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He turned and exchanged a glance with the two gray-robed men. Understanding immediately, they withdrew from the cave, then casually cast a soundproof barrier that sealed off the entrance.

With no one left inside to interfere with him, Dongfang Hao became even more unrestrained. After a burst of mad laughter, he gazed at Xu Xin’er with infatuated tenderness.

“Xin’er, I like you. From the very first moment I saw you, I was deeply captivated... Marry me and become my wife. I will surely make you happy. Whatever you want, I can give you...”

As Dongfang Hao continued advancing, Xu Xin’er hurriedly backed away in terror.

“Don’t come any closer! We barely know each other. Why are you doing this to me? Please, let me go.”

“Now we know each other, don’t we? Do you know how enormous a risk I took for you? Tonight, we’ll be married right here...” Dongfang Hao seized Xu Xin’er by the arm, his breathing growing rapid.

“You... you’re insane! Let go of me!”

But no matter how desperately Xu Xin’er struggled, she could not break free from his iron grip.

“You call me insane? Hahahaha... Are you still thinking about that Lin Cheng? He’s nothing but an inexperienced little boy. What does he know about cherishing a woman? Come with me. I’ll treat you well...” Madness gleamed in Dongfang Hao’s eyes as he stared fixedly at her.

“Let go of me... You’re hurting me...” Xu Xin’er was truly frightened now. The man before her was clearly no longer in his right mind.

Seeing her struggle with all her strength, Dongfang Hao’s expression darkened. He tore away the mask of the gentle, considerate man and shouted furiously, “Since you don’t like being treated gently, then scream all you want!”

As he spoke, he ripped away the clothing from one of Xu Xin’er’s arms, exposing pale skin like carved jade.

The sight caused the desire in his heart to erupt completely.

With another vicious tug, he tore away the clothing covering her other arm as well. He lifted the fabric to his nose and inhaled deeply, his expression intoxicated.

Xu Xin’er could no longer maintain her composure. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed. When had she ever experienced anything like this? Thinking of what was to come, despair overtook her.

“Please, spare me...”

“Please, I beg you, let me go...”

“Lin Cheng will kill you...”

Even in such circumstances, the girl was still thinking of someone else. That only twisted Dongfang Hao’s heart further.

In a cold voice, he said, “Don’t you like him? Then I’ll have you anyway. I’ll make his woman ruined beyond recognition...”

“Let’s see whether he still wants you after that... Hahahaha...”
