At the city gate, Xiao Lan held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, tugging at his clothes and following closely behind Ye Qiu.

Heading towards Sunset Forest.

In the shadows, Sabu Chu's men had already gone back to report that their target had left the city!

The Count Sadio's Mansion.

Sabu Chu, who was fast asleep with his maid in his arms, was awakened by a noisy noise.

"Young master...Young master! We're out of the city! We're out of the city!"

"What's all the noise about! I'm having a dream date with Lingling..." He opened his eyes groggily.

"Young Master! Those two unruly commoners who embarrassed you in front of Miss Lingling the other day have left the city! It seems they're heading to Sunset Forest!"

The attendant knelt on the ground and truthfully reported Ye Qiu and his companion's whereabouts.

"Oh? Those two lowly commoners left the city?" Sabu sat up and landed directly on the maid's chest, who could only grit her teeth and endure it silently...

"Have Mo Dao take a few men and make their move as soon as they enter Sunset Forest! Kill the man, and the woman... hehe! It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful young lady. I'll have my say when she arrives... haha!"

"Hmm..." The maid sitting below groaned.

It turned out to be Sabuchu. As he spoke, he pinched the maid a few times and let out a wandering laugh.

If he weren't afraid that Ye Lingling would suspect him if he made a move in the city, that girl would have been on his bed long ago!

"Don't worry, young master! I'll go prepare right away!"

After his attendants left, Sabu got up and lay back down, savoring his previous sweet dream. "Ugh! I'm so angry first thing in the morning!"

*Slap!* A slap landed on the maid.

"What are you waiting for? Do you expect me to do everything myself and serve you instead?"

The maid obeyed, as if in retaliation for what Sabuchu had just done, and straddled him, intending to torment him.

She seemed a little scared and couldn't help but whimper, but after a few whimpers, she fell silent...

Sabu Chu's initial anger was just so-so.

……

On the road away from Tiandou City, Ye Qiu and his companion sped along and soon approached Sunset Forest.

"Brother, why don't you let Little Tiger out? Why do you want to ride a horse?"

"Wait for the rats behind to catch up!"

"A mouse?" Little Blue peeked out in confusion, looking behind her. "There's nothing there?"

Ye Qiu also glanced back.

"By the time we enter Sunset Forest, they'll probably be making their move soon!"

Without saying anything more to Xiao Lan, he continued to whip his horse and gallop towards the Sunset Forest ahead.

Sunset Forest is located in the center of the Heaven Dou Empire and is the largest forest on this continent besides Star Dou Great Forest.

The vegetation density isn't as dense as in a starry forest, making it much easier to move around.

In addition, the soul beasts that grow there are much weaker than those in the Star Dou Great Forest, most of them are between a thousand and ten thousand years old, and the variety is not as rich.

Not long after entering the Sunset Forest, Ye Qiu pulled on the reins, and the horse he was riding slowly came to a stop.

Xiao Lan's figure had already disappeared on the horse.

Behind them, the sound of horses' footsteps came, then suddenly silence.

"Everyone! We've been following you for so long, it's time to come out and greet you, isn't it?" Ye Qiu turned his horse around, facing the direction from which the footsteps were coming.

With a clatter of dust, several fine horses appeared before Ye Qiu.

The person leading the group was none other than the guard of Sabuchu whom I had seen on the street that day.

I remember his martial soul seemed to be a knife, and his spirit rings were yellow and purple!

"Boy! Do you remember me?" Mo Dao rode his horse up to Ye Qiu, his voice rough as he looked at him cruelly.

"Haha... I certainly remember that guard who couldn't pee! I wonder what business you have with me?"

A hint of mockery flashed across Ye Qiu's face. Although he was the first Soul Master with standard qualifications he had encountered, he did not take him seriously.

"You don't think that just because you offended my young master, Miss Lingling will plead for you and you'll get away with it, do you?"

"So what do you want?"

"You... are naturally doomed. By the way, what about that girl next to you? My young master specifically requested her to warm his bed! Haha..." Mo Dao laughed without any regard for his image.

The underling next to him couldn't help but chuckle, "Boss, why waste time talking to him? Let's finish the mission quickly, maybe the young master will let us have some fun... haha!"

Hearing his unrestrained laughter, Ye Qiu frowned, and the Sharingan in his eyes appeared.

Blue hair, a fair complexion, and blood-red pupils gave him an eerie appearance; his laughter was chilling. "Heh..."

"If you know what's good for you, hand over that little girl, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse!" Mo Dao conjured a large sword in his hand, pointing it directly at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu didn't waste any words, and suddenly a Zhuge Repeating Crossbow appeared in each of his hands!

"Further words are useless! Perfect, let's use you to test its power!"

Whoosh! Several arrows were launched, and Ye Qiu tried his best to treat everyone equally, so that every scumbag got a share.

The arrow was fired, but strangely, Mo Dao and the others didn't dodge it...

"Huh? What's going on?" Mo Dao looked at Ye Qiu in surprise. In their view, Ye Qiu had only tossed out a few roses...

As the roses drifted towards them, some people didn't take it seriously, looking at Ye Qiu with disdain as if he were an idiot.

"Is this guy crazy? He actually gave us roses? Haha...!"

"Haha..." Ye Qiu's actions caused a burst of laughter.

*Thud!* The sound of an arrow piercing flesh rang out.

The laughter abruptly stopped, and roses bloomed from their necks...

"Not good! Everyone get out of the way!" Mo Dao, the strongest among them, was the first to sense that something was wrong.

However, his warning came too late!

*Pfft!* Several more sounds rang out.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The others didn't even have a chance to activate their martial spirits before they died from the sharpness of the 'rose'.

"Damn it!"

He conjured a large sword in his hand and slashed at the rose that was flying towards him.

Ding!

In the image, the delicate rose actually sparked as it clashed with his broadsword...

The true form of the rose appeared before his eyes; it was actually several dark arrows!

"Poisonous!" Mo Dao looked at the black color on the arrowhead that had fallen to the ground, glanced left and right, and his face turned ugly.

The brothers he brought with him died here before they even made a move!

"Kid! You..." Mo Dao's expression turned serious.

"Yo! As expected of a standard Soul Master, you actually saw through my little illusion at the last moment!"

Ye Qiu held two Zhuge Repeating Crossbows close to his mouth and blew on them twice.

Just now, Ye Qiu used genjutsu on them when he activated his Sharingan. This fighting style seems pretty good!

"I don't know why, it was just a small conflict and you wanted to kill me!"

"Kid! Enough with the nonsense! Prepare to die!"

"Third Soul Skill! Earth-Splitting Strike!"

Without waiting to hear Ye Qiu's nonsense, Mo Dao leaped off his horse and slashed at Ye Qiu.

Bang!

Dust billowed and the ground cracked, but he missed his target. He was bent over with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead!

Ye Qiu's figure was actually just a few steps in front of him!

"How is that possible?! You were standing right here just now!" She looked up, staring at his figure in horror.

He definitely didn't misread it!

"Hehe...this is just a small application of illusion! What you're seeing is just my illusion!" Ye Qiu smiled smugly, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow in his hand already pointed at his forehead!

Chapter 62 Investigation

"Looks like you're going to hell today!" Ye Qiu's voice was icy.

Sharp arrows then flew out!

"Don't underestimate me! Fourth Soul Skill, Blade Aura Protection! Ha!"

With a sharp shout, Mo Dao's fourth purple soul ring flashed with a ghostly light. He didn't pick up the greatsword embedded in the ground; instead, he straightened it, tip pointing downwards, and pressed it down...
