Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 170 Ambush

Wilderness

A large mountain, lush with vegetation and dotted with giant rocks, stood atop the peak, pausing to stop and not act in vain.

He carried Xiao Wu on his back and ran for more than ten kilometers. During this time, he deliberately slowed down and made some noise. However, as he expected, things went incredibly smoothly, and there was not a single pursuer behind him.

The smoother things went, the more abnormal it seemed, as if someone had deliberately arranged it to stop the pursuers and allow them to leave Wuhun City smoothly.

Xiao Wu is playful and cute, quirky and clever. She may seem a little silly, but she is actually quite intelligent most of the time. Before long, she also noticed something was wrong: it had been too quiet the whole way.

"Chen Xuan, let's take another route. There might be an ambush ahead." Xiao Wu looked nervous; her intuition told her that it was dangerous ahead.

Chen Xuan shook his head. Changing the route wouldn't help. With the military strength of the Spirit Hall, they would probably have laid an ambush on the way back.

"Don't be afraid, there will be a way. No matter the cost, I will get you and the child back to the Star Dou Great Forest safely," Chen Xuan comforted him and made a promise.

Now that the ambush has been set up outside, there's no point in rushing things; we can only get back to our best condition first.

"I'm not scared!" Xiao Wu huffed, pretending to be angry.

However, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, and they became slightly moist.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering his soul power, and was temporarily unaware of any external movements.

"I won't let you die!" Xiao Wu looked at the man, her eyes softening considerably. She was resolute, having already made her decision.

It all started because of her, and it should end because of her. If she hadn't insisted on coming to Wuhun City, she wouldn't have discovered what happened today.

Chen Xuan is just an outsider. He only got to where he is today because of his child, and he shouldn't ruin his future because of her.

Xiao Wu was deeply moved. In truth, she felt quite uneasy. This man was risking his life to lead her out of the encirclement, unafraid of danger. This left her with mixed feelings and unsure of what to do.

Even though she hadn't accepted him or expressed her feelings, Chen Xuan's one-sided and silent devotion, even at the cost of his life, deeply moved her and warmed her heart.

Besides her mother, who else in the world could do this for her?

Soon after, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, ending his rest. With the help of the pills, he had almost recovered to his best condition.

"Chen Xuan, I've dragged you into this." Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes dimmed as she whispered, her heart heavy with sorrow and a deep sense of powerlessness. There was nothing she could do now.

Although she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, she was only a Soul Master at the moment and was no match for those people's attacks.

This man is only sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than her, yet he has to shoulder so many responsibilities and bear pressure far exceeding that of his peers.

Xiao Wu felt terrible and guilty, as she felt she had let this man down.

Chen Xuan patted his bottom and stood up, smiled at her, and said, "Don't say things like that again. There's no such thing as being implicated. Even without you, those people would still kill me, let alone you..."

He stopped there and didn't continue. In such a dangerous situation, he didn't want to say anything sentimental.

However, from Xiao Wu's perspective, she was unaware that he had killed Yu Xiaogang and thought that Chen Xuan said those words to ease his mental burden.

Even though she didn't have those feelings for this man, he was always considerate of her, protecting her safety and her feelings, and trying his best to ease her burden.

Xiao Wu felt a warmth in her heart, her nose tingled, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She quickly turned her head away, not wanting Chen Xuan to see her like this.

Chen Xuan raised his eyes slightly, his resolve growing stronger; he was determined to bring her back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He calmed his mind and took out a map from his storage soul tool, which depicted the general terrain of Martial Soul City.

The exit from this desolate land leads to a rocky area, which must have been ambushed long ago.

"This is the only way we can go," Chen Xuan murmured, looking towards the north marked on the map.

Heading north, there is a forest of soul beasts. Not far away, it is a forest of soul beasts kept by Wuhun City. It is not very large and does not contain any powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Rocky terrain is not like jungle, making it difficult to hide. Moreover, the exit is likely to be surrounded by ambushes, and rushing out alone would be a dead end.

However, it's not impossible. If there's an ambush on the road, we can just fly over it.

Chen Xuan felt that those people wouldn't do anything in the sky, after all, he and Xiao Wu were far from the Soul Emperor, let alone have the ability to fly.

"Let's go, let's enter that Soul Beast Forest from here." Without further hesitation, he threw the silver kunai, which streaked across the sky and shot into the distance.

"What are you doing!"

Chen Xuan acted decisively. Ignoring Xiao Wu's resistance, he grabbed her two long legs and carried her firmly on his back. Then, using his spatial abilities, he instantly left and quickly traversed the forest.

……

I'm so sorry, let me explain. I originally wanted to resume updates yesterday, but I only got off the bus tonight and was exhausted, so I took a nap.

I'm back home now, and there shouldn't be any more breaks in updates. Please wait for me to rest and adjust myself before I return fully recovered!
