Chapter 24: Desperate, Yu Xiaogang
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and made a decision. No matter Xiao Zhan's previous help to him or Yu Xiaogang's daring plot against him, he would not ignore it.
"Principal, calm down first. Since Yu Xiaogang specifically asked me to go, I will go to meet him."
Xiao Zhan heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice:
"But...but you are just a child! You are just a soul master, but the other party has a soul king, and many soul lords and soul ancestor. It is too dangerous for us to go!
I...I can't implicate you, but my wife and children..."
Lin Xiao heard the struggle in Xiao Zhan's voice. He didn't want to implicate himself, but the safety of his wife and children made him dare not take any risks. So Lin Xiao could only comfort him:
"Principal, Yu Xiaogang specifically asked me to go, which means that he will not let me go regardless of whether this incident happened or not. You don't have to blame yourself, this is my own choice."
He paused and continued, "However, we can't be completely led by him.
We also need to contact other forces, but for the safety of your wife and children, I will have someone send the message later. Let's go and see the situation first, and also to prevent Yu Xiaogang from being desperate."
After listening, Xiao Zhan finally no longer had any concerns and said in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you, Lin Xiao... Thank you so much. I will definitely ensure your safety. You have to promise me that if anything happens, I will fight to the death to hold them back.
You must escape as soon as possible, and later... later to avenge our family."
Lin Xiao heard the determination in Xiao Zhan's words, and his heart sank. He knew that Xiao Zhan might have made up his mind to die, but at this moment he didn't know how to comfort him.
He could only nod solemnly: "Principal, don't worry, we will definitely rescue your wife and children. Let's set off without delay."
Xiao Zhan nodded, trying to calm his fear and anxiety, then turned and strode out the door.
Lin Xiao followed closely behind, his eyes grim, and he had already begun to think about the next move.
The two of them were silent all the way and quickly rushed to a forest outside the city.
The night was deep, the moonlight was obscured by heavy clouds, and it was dark all around. Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the woods seemed particularly gloomy.
Not long after, Lin Xiao and Xiao Zhan had arrived at the location designated by Yu Xiaogang. I saw a middle-aged woman and a little boy of four or five years old tied to a thick tree. They were Xiao Zhan's wife and children.
The two looked terrified, their eyes were full of tears, but because their mouths were blocked, they could only make weak sobs.
Beside them, Yu Xiaogang and his group were watching coldly. The leader was a soul king with a strong aura-Yu Tianshan, he crossed his arms and looked grim.
In addition, there was a Soul Sect and ten Soul Lord-level warriors scattered around, and it was obvious that they had already laid a net.
"Ruyan, Xiaobao! Don't be afraid, Dad is here to save you!"
Xiao Zhan's heart was broken when he saw his wife and children, and his voice was trembling.
He turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes full of anger and pleading.
Yu Xiaogang, don't let your family suffer! Ruyan usually takes good care of you, and Xiaobao grew up under your care. You should let them go! "
"Heh... Heh, Xiao Zhan, I told you to give me the soul bone earlier. If you had known better, why would we have come to this? If you want them to live, you can, but give me the soul bone first."
Seeing this, Lin Xiao stepped forward and said in a cold voice:
"Yu Xiaogang, hand over the person with one hand and the soul bone with the other hand, this is the rule. Don't you even understand this rule?"
"Ha... Ha, Lin Xiao, if you didn't say anything, I would have almost forgotten about you, little brat. What, do you still dare to be arrogant in front of me?
But I don't have time to deal with you now, I'll settle the score with you later."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan, and said in a cold tone:
"Xiao Zhan, you are not qualified to negotiate with me now. If you don't give me the soul bone again, I will cut off one of their hands immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, he winked at a soul master next to him. The man immediately understood, holding a dagger with a cold glow, and slowly approached Ruyan and Xiaobao.
"Don't... I'll give it to you right now!"
Xiao Zhan's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't care about delaying time. He quickly took out the soul bone from his arms and threw it to Yu Xiaogang without hesitation.
Yu Xiaogang took the soul bone, and a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes. He carefully looked at the soul bone in his hand and laughed triumphantly.
"Haha, it's worthy of being a real dragon soul bone! I, Yu Xiaogang, finally got you! With you, I can definitely break through the bottleneck of level 30, and even my martial soul can evolve! Ha...ha!"
Xiao Zhan suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a trembling voice:
"Yu Xiaogang, the soul bone is also given to you. Can you let Ruyan and Xiaobao go now?"
Yu Xiaogang put away the soul bone he got after hearing this, but a cold smile appeared on his face:
"Xiao Zhan, ah Xiao Zhan, you are still so naive. Don't you know the principle of cutting the grass and eradicating it at its roots? Today, none of you can think of leaving alive!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand fiercely and shouted sternly: "Do it!"
In an instant, before Xiao Zhan and Lin Xiao could react, the soul master holding the dagger quickly approached Ruyan and Xiaobao. With a flash of cold light, the dagger cut across the throats of the two people, and blood gushed out instantly.
"No——!" Xiao Zhan let out a heart-wrenching roar, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, and he rushed towards Yu Xiaogang like a madman.
Lin Xiao was also shocked by this sudden change, but he reacted quickly. Knowing that the battle was inevitable, he immediately summoned his martial soul - Dragon Soul Overlord Spear.
At the same time, Xiao Zhan had completely lost his mind, and the "Violent Bear" martial soul instantly possessed his body, and his soul power burst out wildly, rushing towards Yu Xiaogang.
"Yu Xiaogang, I want you to pay with your life!"
Yu Xiaogang sneered, and just stood aside indifferently, as if everything was under his control.
Sure enough, the soul king behind him - Yu Tianshan quickly made a move, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Zhan was blocked in front of him.
"Your opponent is me, hum... a small soul master, do you think you can get through me?"
Lin Xiao saw this situation, and his heart sank. He knew that Xiao Zhan was in a desperate situation at the moment, and he himself was also facing great danger. The two soul masters were slowly approaching him.
"Xiao Zhan, you are too naive!" Yu Xiaogang stood aside, watching coldly, "Do you think you can change anything by yourself? Today, you all have to die!"
Lin Xiao ignored Yu Xiaogang's provocation, but quickly scanned the situation in the field, looking for the key to break out. At the same time, he also reminded loudly:
"Principal, you must stay calm now! The opponent is a soul king, you must delay time, only then we have hope!"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Xiao Zhan heard him or not, and turned to stare coldly at the two soul masters in front of him.
They obviously didn't take him seriously, with contemptuous smiles on their faces, as if dealing with a soul master was just a piece of cake.
"Humph... Knowing that I'm just a soul master, do you look down on me? It's just right, I'll catch you off guard!"
