Chapter 170 Ambush
Wilderness
There was a big mountain with lush vegetation and huge rocks. Chen Xuan stopped at the top of the mountain, not wishing to act in vain.

He carried Xiao Wu on his back and ran for another ten kilometers. During this time, he deliberately slowed down his pace and made some noise. However, the reality was just as he expected. It was so smooth that there was no pursuer behind him.

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

Xiao Wu is cute and playful, quirky, and although she may seem stupid, she is actually quite smart. Soon, she discovered something was wrong as she was too quiet along the way.

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

Chen Xuan shook his head. It was useless to change the route. With the military strength of the Spirit Hall, they might have been ambushed on the way back.

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

Now that the ambush has been set up outside, there is no time to rush and we can only recover to our best condition first.

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

However, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and they were slightly moist.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering his soul power. He was temporarily unnoticeable to any movement in the outside world.

"I won't let you die!" Xiao Wu looked at the man, her eyes became much gentler. She was very determined and had made up her mind.

It all started with her, and it should end with 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. The child has only come this far, and her future should not be ruined because of her.

Xiao Wu was in turmoil. In fact, she felt very upset. This man, regardless of his own life, insisted on leading her out of the siege without fear of danger. This made her feel mixed emotions and she didn't know what to do.

Obviously, she had not accepted the other party yet, nor had she expressed her attitude, but Chen Xuan was willing to give silently to him even at the cost of his life. This deeply touched her and made her feel warm.

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

Not long after, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and ended his rest. With the help of the elixir, he has almost recovered to his best condition.

"Chen Xuan, I'm the one who implicated you." Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes dimmed as she whispered. She felt haggard and powerless. There was nothing she could do now.

Although she is the incarnation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, she is now just a soul master and cannot cope with the attacks of those people at all.

This man is only sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than her, but now he has to shoulder so many things and bears pressure far beyond his peers.

Xiao Wu felt very uncomfortable and unhappy. She felt she had let this man down.

Chen Xuan patted his butt and stood up, smiled at her and said, "Don't say such things in the future. There is no such thing as being implicated or not. Even if you were not there, those people would still kill me, not to mention that you are..." He stopped here and did not say any more. Being in a situation full of dangers, he did not want to say something sensational.

However, from Xiao Wu's perspective, she didn't know that he had killed Yu Xiaogang, and thought that Chen Xuan said this to relieve his psychological burden.

Even though she didn't have such feelings for this man, he always took her into consideration. Whether it was her safety or her mood, he tried his best to protect her so that she wouldn't feel too burdened.

Xiao Wu felt a warm feeling in her heart, her nose felt sore, and her eyes suddenly became moist. She quickly turned her head away, not wanting Chen Xuan to see her like this.

Chen Xuan raised his eyes slightly, and his determination became more and more firm. He was determined to bring her back to the Star Dou Forest.

He calmed his mind and took out a map from his storage soul guide, which depicted the general topography of Wuhun City.

The exit outside this wilderness is connected to a rocky area, which must have been ambushed long ago.

"This is the only way." Chen Xuan whispered, looking towards the north direction marked on the map.

Heading north, there is a soul beast forest not far away. It is the soul beast forest raised in Wuhun City. It is not very large and there are no powerful ten thousand year old soul beasts.

It's hard to hide in a rocky area, unlike a jungle. Besides, there might be ambushes everywhere near the exit, so rushing out alone would mean death.

However, there is a solution. If there is an ambush on the road, you can just fly over it.

Chen Xuan felt that those people would not practice kung fu in the sky. After all, he and Xiao Wu were far away from the Soul Emperor City, let alone the ability to fly.

"Let's go and enter the soul beast forest from here." He no longer hesitated and threw the silver kunai across the sky and shot into the distance.

"What are you doing!"

Chen Xuan acted decisively. Regardless of Xiao Wu's resistance, he grabbed her two long legs and held them firmly behind his back. Then he used his spatial ability to leave instantly and quickly shuttled through the forest.

……

……

I'm really sorry. Let me explain. I had wanted to resume updating yesterday, but I just got off the car late tonight and was physically and mentally exhausted. I didn't have much energy, so I took a nap.

Now that I'm back home, there shouldn't be any more breaks in the updates. Please wait for me to get some rest in the next two days, adjust my condition, and come back with full health!
