Chapter 23: The Storm Is Coming

Inside the Star Dou Great Forest.

The terrifying battle raged on without pause. The Level 96 Sword Douluo, under the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was holding his own against the two opponents, not falling behind at all.

The Bone Douluo, also bolstered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was directly confronting the Titan Giant Ape, and was even gaining the upper hand.

With the current situation, if they continued to fight, the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would undoubtedly win, and none of the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts would survive.

Because, in the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong had already learned about the "two Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts under cultivation" and the news of the appearance of two Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She was already on her way to the Star Dou Great Forest with numerous Title Douluo in tow.

Deeper inside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Bai Yuan and his four disciples were still facing off against Long Gong and Snake Granny, but he had already set up all the formations.

If they had fought earlier, Bai Yuan would have had only a 10% chance of defeating Meng Yi Ran. But now, he had a 90% chance of victory!

"How about this, you hand over the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Master, and we'll let you go immediately," Long Gong said solemnly.

Bai Yuan sneered, "Rong Rong, won't you come out and explain?"

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, but she still stepped forward.

Long Gong's eyes flickered slightly, preparing to make a move and snatch her away as soon as Ning Rongrong got past Bai Yuan.

However, Bai Yuan grabbed Ning Rongrong's fragrant shoulder, stopping her from going any further, and said, "Rong Rong, they are dangerous. It's fine to explain here, and I can make sure you won't be ambushed."

Ning Rongrong nodded lightly, and her body was enveloped in a resplendent seven-colored radiance. The radiance gathered in her palm, forming a seven-meter-tall seven-colored pagoda.

Then, two yellow soul rings rose from under her feet.

Seeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Long Gong and Snake Granny were already fully convinced of Xiao Wu's words.

Ning Rongrong said, "Two seniors, I am the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Master. Actually, I wasn't kidnapped; I fell in love with him, but my family didn't approve, so we eloped."

Long Gong and Snake Granny were dumbfounded.

Meng Yi Ran's eyes were also wide open.

She looked at Bai Yuan from head to toe.

To be honest, he was really handsome to the point of being excessive. If he hadn't been boasting about using her as a shield, Meng Yi Ran would have been infatuated with him right now.

Xiao Wu struggled desperately, as if trying to say something more explosive, but Bai Yuan didn't give her the chance and controlled the vines to tighten their grip, making Xiao Wu unable to speak properly.

This made Xiao Wu emit strange noises in discomfort.

"Two seniors, are you still not backing off? It's better to pretend that you haven't seen anything and help them hunt Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. You will benefit more that way," Bai Yuan said, as he pulled Ning Rongrong, who had a delicate waist, closer to him, and gently kissed her red lips.

Ning Rongrong stiffened for a moment but then immediately relaxed. Her cheeks turned even redder, and she lowered her head shyly, only daring to look at Bai Yuan's expression from time to time.

But even so, every time their eyes met, Ning Rongrong would shyly lower her head, and this repeated.

This wasn't an act; it was real.

That was Ning Rongrong's first kiss.

Long Gong gave a deep look at Xiao Wu, who was tied up on the ground and unable to say a word. Then, he looked at Snake Granny and Meng Yi Ran.

"We're leaving."

The three of them left without any hesitation.

To be honest, Long Gong's decision was very wise.

Because, no matter whether Ning Rongrong's relationship with Bai Yuan was true or false, once they made a move, Meng Yi Ran would die for sure.

If Ning Rongrong's relationship with Bai Yuan was false, then Ning Rongrong might die as a result, and when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect blamed them, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Instead of that, it was better to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Master. As long as they won, they would surely be rewarded, and with two Title Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Master leading the way, the probability of them encountering trouble was low.

Watching the three figures disappear into the forest, Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and looked at Ning Rongrong, who seemed to have lost all her strength, leaning against him, her face still blushing shyly as she wanted to look at him but was too embarrassed to meet his gaze.

However, Bai Yuan still didn't completely relax because he was worried that after Long Gong and Snake Granny sent Meng Yi Ran away, they would come back for a surprise attack.

At that time, as long as he wasn't careful, Ning Rongrong might be taken away by them, and then she would be at their mercy.

Bai Yuan looked at Xiao Wu on the ground. He didn't make a move but just chuckled, "Xiao Wu, it looks like Da Ming and Er Ming are about to die soon."

Xiao Wu struggled desperately, but it was futile. With her current strength, she couldn't break free.

Bai Yuan coldly sneered.

But he knew that Da Ming and Er Ming wouldn't die right now because that red figure was clearly not a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast that had appeared at Douluo Plaza.

Bai Yuan speculated that it was probably a auspicious beast that had been born, awakening those savage beasts that were devouring the Dream Ice Silkworms.

That was why they sent out a savage beast.

As for the reason for the fight between the two sides, Bai Yuan didn't know, but he could guess roughly.

It was probably because the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had ordered them to bring out the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts under cultivation, and when they didn't find the auspicious beast, the savage beasts went berserk.

In fact, it was because the savage beast was outnumbered and was heavily injured by the Sword Douluo, that the two sides were now engaged in a fierce battle.

As for Da Ming and Er Ming, they probably heard the commotion and rushed over, thinking that the other party had come for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts under cultivation and had joined the fray.

However, Bai Yuan didn't think that they could handle the safety of the three soul beasts, even with Long Gong and Snake Granny on their side. After all, those savage beasts had already

been awakened by the auspicious beast, and if they really provoked Emperor Heaven, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably be annihilated.

"Let's go. Xia'er, jump up yourself and hold Master's neck tightly, wrapping your legs around Master's waist." Bai Yuan used the princess carry method, holding Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong blushed and closed her eyes, making a soft "ah" sound.

But she probably didn't expect that Bai Yuan was holding her like this just so he could break her neck if necessary.

His second disciple responded with an "Oh" and jumped onto Bai Yuan's back, tightly wrapping his legs around Bai Yuan's waist.

On the other side, Bai Yu also lifted Wang Qiuer with one hand and held onto the vines that bound Xiao Wu with the other, following behind.

On a large tree, Long Gong and Snake Granny watched as Bai Yuan's group disappeared from their sight, but they didn't chase after them.

Snake Granny said, "Old man, aren't we going to pursue them? They should be safe by now, and what that little girl said is most likely true."

Long Gong sighed, "That young man is too vigilant. If he hadn't kept Ning Rongrong by his side, I would have attacked him just now."

Snake Granny couldn't help but sigh upon hearing that.

Initially, they had considered taking advantage of both sides. After all, defeating a Soul King was a piece of cake for them.

However, Bai Yuan was extremely cautious and didn't give them any opportunity.

At this moment, Bai Yuan's group was rushing deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, while Bibi Dong was leading numerous Title Douluo, rapidly advancing towards the forest as well, not hesitating to deplete their soul power.

Even the royal families of the two empires were showing signs of restlessness.

A battle between Title Douluo-level experts was about to break out in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Bai Yuan would have nowhere to escape when that happened!
