Chapter 154 Self-directed and self-acted
When he opened the letter in his hand, Di Yuan was stunned.

The prince was kidnapped.

In broad daylight, the crown prince of the empire was kidnapped in the capital of the empire. He gave up the idea of ​​asking the imperial guards to seal off the city, because the letter said that if he dared to report to the police, he would have to collect Xue Qinghe's body.

The letter also said that someone was secretly watching him. Although he did not sense that someone was watching him, he just thought that he was not strong enough.

He hurried back to Yuexuan.

"Father, father!"

As soon as he came back, Di Yuan started shouting. Now that Tang Yuehua had gone back to Haotian Sect and had not returned yet, he could only find Di Hong.

"What's wrong?" Di Hong came out and saw his son looking flustered.

Di Yuan handed the letter in his hand to Di Hong.

"Brother Xue has been kidnapped."

"Ah?" Di Hong took the letter and started reading it, then he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This is the capital of the Tiandou Empire. How dare someone kidnap the empire's crown prince? Must he be tired of living? Do he really think Xue Ye has no temper?

However, after he read the contents of the letter, he realized that the kidnappers had no idea that the person they had kidnapped was Xue Qinghe.

"I see."

"What does that mean?" Di Yuan was puzzled.

Di Hong shook the letter in his hand and said, "From the letter, it seems that the kidnappers don't even know who they are kidnapping."

"Xue Qinghe is the crown prince, but that doesn't mean everyone knows he is the crown prince."

"Plus the way you are dressed, I think you are rich young men."

"What should we do now? Should we inform His Majesty?" The first thing Di Yuan thought of was to tell Xue Ye about this. Although the letter said that they were not allowed to report to the authorities, he was the prince after all. How could they hide it from the emperor of the empire?

Di Hong shook his head.

"Your Majesty must be notified, but you can't go directly."

"The letter said that you should go outside the city with the ransom money to redeem the person. You cannot take anyone with you. Just go with the money tonight."

"I will go and talk to His Majesty. Don't worry about the danger. I will protect you in secret."

"Okay." Di Yuan had no solution for the time being, and he was a little anxious about Xue Qinghe being kidnapped.

Night falls.

Di Yuan rode out of Tiandou City alone on horseback. Although he was young, he was a good rider. His red hair was very easy to recognize, so the soldiers guarding the city gate did not stop him and let him leave the city.

Di Hong was also following him secretly.

Fifty miles out of the city, Di Yuan arrived outside a mountain.

The mountain is not high, it looks like only a few hundred meters, but the vegetation is very dense.

Getting off his horse, Di Yuan observed the situation ahead.

It was so dark that I couldn't see what was happening ahead.

Just as he was about to enter the mountain, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. Turning back, he saw a long sword stabbing towards him. He quickly dodged to the side.

After steadying himself and taking a closer look, Di Yuan was stunned.

Because the person who attacked others was not a man, but a masked girl with blonde hair.

"Who are you and why did you attack me?"

The girl didn't say anything. She snorted coldly and continued to attack him with the sword. Di Yuan dodged repeatedly. He could see that the other party was also a soul master, and her soul power level seemed to be similar to his.

After dodging several swords, Di Yuan stopped dodging, released his martial soul, and showed his soul ring, ready to counterattack.

"First Soul Skill: Scarlet Phoenix Flame!"

Emperor Yuan released a golden-red flame filled with sacred aura, and the girl immediately used her soul power to resist it. The golden soul power and the golden-red flame collided with each other and were canceled out in an instant. Then the girl rushed out in one step and slashed horizontally with the sword in her hand.

Di Hong leaned back to dodge, but the girl seized the opportunity and a yellow soul ring lit up on her body. Then the golden soul power condensed in her left hand and a golden light shield formed around her body. She punched out and directly knocked Di Yuan several meters away, but fortunately he used his soul power in time to resist and did not suffer any harm.

After retreating a few meters, Di Yuan frowned slightly. He seemed unable to defeat the opponent. The opponent's strength was obviously similar to his, so how could he not be able to defeat him?
Is it because he has too little combat experience?

It seems like this is the only possibility.

However, he was also sure that the girl was not a kidnapper. It would be a waste of talent for her to be a kidnapper. Although she did not reveal her martial spirit, with such talent, her martial spirit must be good.

But it doesn’t matter now. If I meet such an opponent, I must have a good fight with him.

A phoenix cry was heard, Di Yuan released his martial soul, and then the third soul ring on his body lit up.

"Third soul skill: Scarlet Flame, Wind and Fire!"

Di Yuan leaped into the air and released a line of fire. At the same time, a gust of hot wind blew around him, blowing towards the girl along with the flames.

The wind takes advantage of the fire, and the fire takes advantage of the wind. The girl knew she could not dodge this attack, so she quickly used her soul power to resist. However, it seemed to be of no use. The golden-red phoenix flames accompanied by hot winds had surrounded her, and she was now in the center of the fire tornado.

If she hadn't released her soul power early to resist, she would have been dead at least.

The wind and fire were actually reducing her defense. Once her defense was broken, she would have to face the wind and fire head-on, but she could not release her martial spirit, otherwise she would be exposed.

She concentrated her soul power on the sword and swung it fiercely, but it was of no use.

Di Hong in mid-air looked at the fire tornado in front of him.

"It's already like this, why don't you release your martial spirit?"

If the opponent fought him with all his strength, he would definitely not be his match, but the opponent obviously did not want to use his full strength.

"Do you look down on me?"

Not far away, Di Hong couldn't help but smile as he watched the scene.

"This Qian Renxue, she's still doing this."

Di Yuan didn't know the other party, but he knew that he could see that this kidnapping was just directed and acted by Qian Renxue. However, he also didn't understand why Qian Renxue did this and what she wanted to achieve.

Was it to get rid of the suspicion of murdering the prince? If he wanted to get rid of it, he couldn't do it this way. He could just be a little harder on himself.

At this time, Di Yuan also stopped.

The fire tornado disappeared, and the girl knelt on one knee on the ground holding the sword, sweat dripping from her body.

Emperor Yuan fell to the ground and put away his martial spirit.

When the girl raised her head, Di Yuan was stunned.

With the help of the flames, he could see the other person's face clearly.

At this time, the girl was no longer wearing a mask, and her cold and beautiful face was fully revealed. Although she was still a little childish, the aura she exuded deeply attracted him. He stood there in a daze, and he could only feel his heart pounding.

What is this feeling? He didn't know how to describe the feeling at this moment.

"you"

Just as Di Yuan was about to say something, the girl swung her sword, but she did not hit Di Yuan. When Di Yuan dodged, she seized the opportunity and quickly fled.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

Looking at her leaving back, Di Yuan shouted: "What's your name?"

However, he received no response.

"Really? You fought with me for such a long time, but you didn't even leave your name."

Not far away, Di Hong held his forehead speechlessly.

My son fell in love at first sight.

Only then did Di Yuan remember what he was here for.

"Oh no, oh no, I almost forgot."

He hurriedly ran towards the mountains.
