"But, brother, could you also take a look and see where the Second Young Master might be heading?"
Xie Yue took the map and began to analyze it.
"There are numerous soul beasts in the Sunset Forest. Even a soul emperor-level powerhouse would face significant danger if they tried to roam freely here."
"Therefore, we don't need to approach the central area. After all, even if the second young master is exceptionally talented, he wouldn't dare to go there."
"Therefore, the routes we should take are only two!"
Xie Yue had somehow produced a pencil and began drawing on the map. He drew two lines from the direction of the Soul Hall entering the Sunset Forest to the direction of Tian Dou City.
"I learned from the Demon-Subduing Priest that something major will happen in Tian Dou City during this trip."
"He instructed the Soul Hall's intelligence agents to pay close attention to intelligence reports from Tian Dou City, indicating that the Second Young Master is most likely heading there!"
"If Nana wants to beat up the Second Young Master on this trip, we'll have to split up!"
When he heard the words "split up," Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.
If we split up, wouldn't I have more opportunities to be alone with Nana?
Wouldn't that mean I'd have more chances to showcase my abilities?!
Hu Liena focused her gaze on the map her brother Xie Yue had drawn. The map showed two lines, one to the left and one to the right, both bypassing the central area.
"If that's the case, then my brother can take the left path, and Yan and I will take the right path. How about that?"
"After all, my brother is powerful. Even if you encounter the Second Young Master alone, nothing unexpected will happen."
"Although Yan and I don't have a soul fusion technique, if we work together, even if we encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, we still have a chance to escape!"
Xie Yue wanted to refuse, but upon further consideration, this was indeed the best way to split up. Yan's mind was simple, and if he went alone on one route, accidents were bound to happen.
This small team was currently under his leadership, and if anything went wrong, Xie Yue would also be held responsible.
"If that's the case, be careful!"
Xie Yue tossed the map to Hu Lina, memorized the location of the Sunset Forest, and then dashed off in the left direction. After all, they were two days behind the Second Young Master; if they didn't hurry, they might lose track of him!
Yan's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Hu Liena with an odd expression. "Nana, you've finally chosen to accept me!"
"I'll love you dearly! I'll always be your guardian."
"Stop!"
Hu Liena interrupted Yan's fantasy directly, "I've said we can only be friends! There's no way we can have any other kind of relationship in this lifetime!"
"The reason I chose you to accompany me on this route is because I think your abilities are decent, though they pale in comparison to my brother's! Still, you're at least a helpful ally!"
"If you don't want to, then I'll just go find my brother's path!"
After saying that, Hu Liena pretended to leave, but Yan directly spread his arms and blocked her path, "Alright, alright, just friends. Let's go, Nana. If we don't leave now, we might not catch up!"
In the eyes of "Binghuo Liangyi".
The Poisonous Douluo Dugu Bo was drunk out of his mind, just as described in the original text, and gave his "Ruyi Baobao Bag" to Qian Renfeng.
Qian Renfeng took the soul-guided device capable of holding living beings without hesitation. Though it was currently useless in his hands, who would refuse a good thing?
"Boy, if you ever establish your faction in the future, you must let me come to retire there!"
Dugu Bo raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp, but most of the wine leaked out from the corner of his mouth. Even though he was a titled Douluo-level powerhouse, he was still not very good at drinking.
Qian Renfeng smiled and changed the color of the painting from its blue exterior to black so that it matched his attire better.
"Alright, old poisoner, I'm leaving."
Dugu Bo, deeply intoxicated, twitched his eyelid, trying to open his eyes, but the overwhelming drowsiness made it impossible for him to do so. He could only close his eyes and mutter.
"Leaving already? Won't you stay a few more days?"
Qian Renfeng shook his head, poured the remaining wine into his sapphire ring, and smiled, "No, I'm in a hurry. If I don't leave now, I won't be able to complete my mission."
"By the way, old poisoner, you must remember that I am the Angel Douluo Qian Renfeng! If you forget, I'll have to come back and beat you up again."
"Alright, alright, I don't have time. I have to go!"
After speaking, Qian Renfeng's wings spread out behind him, each over six meters long. With a powerful flap, the immense recoil propelled him into the air, soaring toward the horizon.
In the Sunset Forest, the strongest being was none other than Dugu Bo. Since the task in the Sunset Forest had been completed, there was no need to hide his strength anymore. The priority was to hurry to the Tian Dou Empire!
At that moment, in a certain part of the Sunset Forest, a man and a woman were moving in the same direction as Qian Renfeng!
After days of action, Hu Liena's clothes had gradually become soaked with sweat, vaguely revealing the contours of her body. However, Hu Liena did not seem to notice.
After all, anything that should not be seen had already been covered with cloth. Even Yan, who had been traveling with her for the past two days, had not seen anything.
"Nana!"
Suddenly, Yan growled softly, quickly crouching down. All his soul power settled into stillness, and his----- was drawn inward. Upon seeing this, Hu Liena followed suit, crouching down swiftly and completely suppressing her own------.
This was one of the mandatory courses at the Soul Hall!
When encountering a powerful enemy in the wild that cannot be resisted, one must immediately suppress one's aura, minimize one's target, and avoid being detected by powerful soul beasts!
Moments later.
A massive figure flew overhead, resembling a bird-like soul beast with a wingspan of approximately six meters, casting a shadow that obscured the sky. Even Hu Lina could only discern that it was a white soul beast, but she did not recognize its specific type.
However, its overwhelming aura told her that this soul beast was undoubtedly at least ten thousand years old! When did a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast appear in the Sunset Forest?!
This was information beyond the knowledge of the Soul Hall!
Qian Renfeng, flying in the sky, suddenly sensed two human auras, but they vanished in an instant, which was highly unusual.
Most importantly, one of the auras felt strangely familiar.
"Has the Soul Hall sent someone to follow me?"
Qianren Feng's expression changed, but he knew that the Soul Hall wouldn't find it easy to follow him. Once the Angelic Domain appeared, any movement within dozens of miles would be impossible to hide from him!
"Angelic Domain, activate!"
The sacred aura swiftly enveloped the surrounding tens of kilometers. Even the flight of a bird or the fall of a needle could not escape Qian Renfeng's control. Within this domain, any soul power would be dissolved and shattered unless Qian Renfeng permitted it.
Suddenly, Qian Renfeng spotted two intriguing figures and flew toward them with a smile, descending directly toward Hu Lina's direction.
Alright, alright, I wasn't looking for you, but you came looking for me first, didn't you?!
The eighth soul ring on Qian Renfeng's body flickered, "Eighth soul technique, Angel God's Guardian!"
A golden angel appeared before Qian Renfeng, and then the third soul rings on both of their bodies lit up simultaneously.
"Third soul technique, Justice Blindness!!"
Suddenly, a golden light flashed before Hu Liena's eyes. In an instant, Hu Liena lost her vision. Opening her eyes, she saw only a golden haze, unable to discern any objects.
"Sixth soul technique, Angel's Bondage!"
Qian Renfeng's soul technique lit up again, and a golden light flew toward Hu Lina, directly binding her to the tree, leaving her unable to move.
This Sixth Soul Technique could restrain an enemy for three seconds, and the greater the difference in soul power, the stronger the effect! If the difference in soul power between Qian Renfeng and Hu Lina were significant, restraining her for twenty minutes would pose no problem at all.
During the restraint, not only could no soul techniques be used, but even the soul beast could not be summoned!
At the same time, Yan faced the same fate. The Guardian of the Angel God tightly bound Yan to his body, and all he could hear was Hu Liena's screams.
"Damn it! Who is this?"
"Let us go! We are the Golden Generation of the Soul Hall! The Pope of the Soul Hall personally appointed us as the Golden Generation!"
Yan's roar echoed throughout Qian Renfeng's Angelic Domain, but it was to no avail. Sound, being a form of energy, was completely consumed by the sacred power within Qianrenfeng's domain.
However, Qianrenfeng still found him too noisy, so he had the Angel God's guards gag his mouth.
He then looked at Hu Liena, who was tied to a tree, and smiled, saying, "Hmm, isn't this our Golden Generation leader, Sister Nana?"
"Why hasn't your strength improved at all in six years?"
Hu Liena's expression changed instantly; she seemed to recognize the person in front of her!
Six years ago, her strength hadn't changed—who else could it be?!
Qian Renfeng looked at Hu Liena in the book with admiration and said with a smile, "However, Nana Sister's strength hasn't improved, but her figure has become much better. I wonder how her meridians are nurtured?"
At that moment, Hu Liena was wearing white trousers, a black tight-fitting undershirt, and a loose golden robe. In this weather, such attire was indeed rather sparse.
At the same time, such clothing perfectly highlighted Hu Liena's curvaceous figure.
Qian Renfeng formed his fingers into a sword gesture, gently swiping them, causing Hu Liena's clothes to silently shatter, revealing her delicate, flawless skin.
After a few swipes, Qian Renfeng had seen everything he wanted to see.
Then, powerful soul energy appeared in Qian Renfeng's hands as he walked toward Hu Liena. "Don't worry, Nana. Having low strength isn't a mistake~"
"I'll help you cultivate your meridians, and you'll soon reach the title of Douluo~"
