Chapter 1908 - 1908: Ye Qing Abducted

Looking at Nalan Jingwei, Huang Yunfeng was also calculating in his heart.He knew well that the Huang Family was not strong. Even if he emerged into this world, the Huang Family would not be able to gain a foothold in the current chaotic times. So, he went to great lengths to capture Ye Qing and obtain the Buddha's Relic, hoping to enhance the family's strength and secure absolute influence in this turmoil.

However, now that Ye Qing could not be captured, and regarding the Buddha's Relic, after listening to Nalan Jingwei, it seemed hopeless. Even if they managed to seize the Buddha's Relic, it would be useless if they couldn't gather six Peak Masters. If he were to seek six Peak Masters for help, it would be difficult. Plus, if he encountered any ill-intentioned people who might snatch the Buddha's Relic, it would all be a futile effort.

Therefore, after much thought, Huang Yunfeng finally decided to cooperate with Nalan Jingwei. After all, Nalan Jingwei spoke politely. Moreover, given the current situation of the Huang Family, they needed to find a strong ally to ensure their safety. Since Huang Yidao had already allied with the Nalan Family, there was already a basis for cooperation. Besides, the Nalan Family was quite powerful, and Nalan Jingwei was good at planning. Forming an alliance with the Nalan Family seemed like a wise choice. As for the matters involving the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, since they were allied, once the Nalan Family acquired the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, they surely wouldn't treat him poorly.

Having made up his mind, Huang Yunfeng decided not to dwell on it anymore. He turned to Nalan Jingwei and said with a smile, "Since you are willing to cooperate with the Huang Family, that's for the best. Both Fu Qingping and Du Canglang are quite formidable; even two or three Peak Masters might not be their match. Should you find them, feel free to contact me, and I will personally come to lend a hand."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Jingwei was overjoyed. Huang Yunfeng had essentially agreed to an alliance with the Nalan Family, thus providing significant support. The Nalan Family's main concern now was not having enough strength. Competing against the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls was already difficult, and the suddenly emerging Wanyan Family was even stronger, which worried Nalan Jingwei greatly. Therefore, he sought to enlist more masters to strengthen the Nalan Family and hold equal standing with the three main forces.

With the Huang Family's support now secured, Nalan Jingwei was elated. He quickly said, "Rest assured, Elder Huang. With our joint efforts, neither Du Canglang nor Fu Qingping will escape. Once we capture Ye Qing and obtain the Buddha's Relic, who in the world could stand against us?"

Huang Yunfeng was equally excited. He nodded repeatedly and said, "In that case, without delay, you should instruct the Nalan Family to track Du Canglang. I will also send people from the Huang Family. As long as he is within the Western Province, Du Canglang cannot evade the watchful eyes of the Huang Family!"

After speaking, Huang Yunfeng turned to instruct his family to send people to look for Du Canglang. Meanwhile, Nalan Jingwei had made his arrangements as well. They were unusually united in this matter, both eager to find Du Canglang and retrieve the Buddha's Relic as soon as possible.

Huang Yunfeng turned and noticed Wang Tian'an nearby and suddenly asked, "By the way, isn't Wang Tian'an a disciple of Ning Qianshu? When did he start listening to you?"

Nalan Jingwei glanced at Wang Tian'an and laughed heartily, "Who says a disciple of Ning Qianshu must always listen to Ning Qianshu? Ning Qianshu isn't exactly a noble person, treating his disciples like dogs, and he's moody. Who knows when he'll take his anger out on them. Wang Tian'an has suffered much under Ning Qianshu and has finally had enough, so he switched allegiance to me."

"Is that so?" Huang Yunfeng stared at Wang Tian'an for a moment, clearly mistrustful of him.

Wang Tian'an remained calm, unfazed by Huang Yunfeng's gaze. On the other hand, Xu Cunxiao, who was beside him, kept his head down, but his eyes flickered with sharpness. The words Ye Qing had said earlier echoed continuously in his ears, involuntarily making him recall them. Could it be true, as Ye Qing claimed, that the Gu Insect within him was already neutralized?

When no one was watching, Xu Cunxiao quietly glanced at Wang Tian'an, his eyes full of bitterness. If the Gu Insect in his body was indeed neutralized, Wang Tian'an would be the first person he'd wish to kill. However, Xu Cunxiao was a patient person and would not act rashly without confirmation. Besides, given the significant disparity in strength between him and Wang Tian'an, he couldn't act directly and would need to devise a strategy to deal with Wang Tian'an.

At this moment, outside the Huang Family Manor, Old Wang Ba was hurriedly returning along the same path. Earlier, he had been hiding on top of a huge rock, clearly observing the chaotic situation inside the Huang Family Manor. Although he didn't see exactly what happened, he had a good guess of the situation. Especially when he saw Du Canglang rapidly fleeing from the estate, clutching someone, Old Wang Ba was overjoyed.

"That old fool finally lived up to expectations and actually managed to save Young Ye!" Old Wang Ba muttered to himself as he walked, "If I hadn't lured the old fellow here, Young Ye would surely have died this time. But even if the old fellow managed to save Young Ye, his life still hangs by a thread. However, there's nothing more I can do. Young Ye, whether you can survive is up to your own fate!"

It was fortunate that Du Canglang had quickly fled after rescuing Ye Qing and didn't hear Old Wang Ba's words. If he had heard, he would have been infuriated. He believed he had followed Old Wang Ba to get here and find Ye Qing, never imagining that Old Wang Ba had intentionally led him to rescue Ye Qing.

After Du Canglang brought Ye Qing out, he didn't dare linger at all and sprinted along the main road. Even though they encountered guards from the Huang Family on the way, these people seemed non-existent to Du Canglang, and he easily dealt with them. Because he was wary of Fu Qingping, he didn't dare slow down for a moment, utilizing his Qinggong, he ran for over thirty kilometers before finally pausing by the roadside.

Ye Qing, being grabbed by Du Canglang, had no strength to struggle, like a chick being held in hand. He opened his mouth to shout several times, but as soon as he opened it, the wind poured directly into his mouth. Moreover, no matter how he shouted, Du Canglang completely ignored him and brought him all this way. Seeing Du Canglang finally stop, Ye Qing also finally caught his breath and said, "Who are you? Why are you kidnapping me?"

Du Canglang glanced at Ye Qing and said coldly, "Why kidnap you, does that even need to be asked?"

"Are you here for the Buddha's Relic too?" Ye Qing frowned, then sneered, "Hmph, do you think by capturing me, you'll get the Buddha's Relic? Let me tell you, once the Buddha's Relic leaves my body, it's completely useless. Don't even think about getting the Buddha's Relic!"

"You don't need to make up such lies for me!" Du Canglang said coldly, "I don't believe that nonsense, that the Buddha's Relic is useless once it leaves your body. Hmph, the power of the Buddha's Relic is only contained within it, it won't transfer to anything else. If the power of the Buddha's Relic had integrated with you, you'd have already been overwhelmed by that power. Do you think I'm as gullible as Huang Yunfeng, easily deceived by your words?"

Ye Qing's expression slightly changed, not expecting Du Canglang to be so astute and unaffected by his words. However, at this point, Ye Qing certainly wouldn't admit it and had to persist.

"If you don't believe me, you can try." Ye Qing extended his right hand and said, "The Buddha's Relic is in my palm, if you don't believe, you can dig it out now."

"Dig it out I will, but not now." Du Canglang said solemnly, "That old fellow Fu Qingping is surely searching everywhere behind us, I have to avoid him first, then deal with you slowly!"

After speaking, Du Canglang didn't give Ye Qing a chance to talk and grabbed him, continuing to run.

At this, Ye Qing couldn't help but inwardly curse. He had revealed the matter of the Buddha's Relic in his body earlier, intending to scare Huang Yunfeng so he wouldn't dare touch him, thereby protecting those in the cell. Who would have thought, after exposing the Buddha's Relic in his body, he would be captured by Du Canglang. Du Canglang was much more cunning than Huang Yunfeng; if he insisted on killing him to get the Buddha's Relic out, Ye Qing would be powerless to resist.

To evade Fu Qingping, Du Canglang indeed put in a lot of effort, taking Ye Qing without daring to enter Xifu City and not even taking the main road, instead traveling along the mountain path. After a night of such wild running, by the time dawn broke, they had already reached a nearby town.

After running all night, even someone of Du Canglang's capability was somewhat exhausted. He took Ye Qing into a small town, ate something casually, rented a car, and continued on.

Sitting in the car, Ye Qing looked at Du Canglang, who had his eyes closed for rest, and sarcastically remarked, "Looks like you're afraid of my master!"

"Your master?" Du Canglang was slightly surprised, "Who is your master?"

"Naturally, it is the Green Reed Swordsman." Ye Qing said proudly.

"Hmph!" Du Canglang snorted coldly, saying, "Though the Green Reed Swordsman is strong, it's not easy for him to kill me. It's just that being held up by him and getting into a fight would be troublesome and really a waste of time. If others took advantage of the chaos, that would be even worse. It's better for me to first get the Buddha's Relic from you, then no talk of Green Reed Swordsman, even if all the peak masters under heaven attacked together, Uncle Du wouldn't care!"
