Chapter 891

Self Directed and Self Acted

At the back of the cave, there was an extremely inconspicuous groove. Zhuo Wen's eyes were sharp, and he discovered this groove at a glance. Thus, he shrank his body and squeezed into the groove, which was just enough to accommodate Zhuo Wen's body.

Silently hiding in the groove, Zhuowen listened to the conversation in the cave.

At this moment, there was a bonfire burning in the cave. A dim yellow light was emitted from the bonfire, illuminating the dark cave.

Inside the cave, there were four black-clothed men with black face veils surrounding Leng Ying, who was lying limply at the side.

"Who are you?" Leng Ying curled up her delicate body, and her beautiful eyes stared at the four black-clothed men in front of her in horror as she shouted.

Until now, Leng Ying still did not understand why these four black-clothed men would appear out of nowhere and kidnap her.

One of the black-clothed men did not say anything. He walked to Leng Ying's side and lifted her up. Then, he took the black Spirit Ring from her hand and casually threw Leng Ying to one side.

Bang!

Leng Ying struggled painfully, and leaned against the edge of the cave wall. She finally knew the purpose of these four black-clothed men. They were here for the Spirit Ring in her hand.

"That Spirit Ring is mine. What do you want?" Leng Ying clenched her teeth, unwilling to let her Spirit Ring be taken away like this.

"Hehe!

It's yours?

That's right. Now, I'll give you a choice. Either you erase the Spirit Imprint on the Spirit Ring, or you die! "

The leader of the black-clothed men held the Spirit Ring in his hand as he stared coldly at Leng Ying, and said in a hoarse voice.

Just now, when this black-clothed man was about to open the Spirit Ring, he realized that there was a Spirit Force on the surface of the Spirit Ring that prevented him from opening it. Obviously, the Spirit Ring had already recognized its owner. Unless they removed the original Spirit Imprint, they would not be able to open the Spirit Ring.

Leng Ying's pretty face was deathly pale, and her heart sank to the bottom. This Spirit Ring didn't belong to her in the first place, but was taken from Zhuowen. Therefore, this Soul Imprint belonged to Zhuowen. How could she possibly have a way to erase the Soul Imprint on this Spirit Ring?

The black-robed man walked up to Leng Ying and placed the Spirit Ring in front of her. He said coldly, "You only have one chance. Either you undo the soul imprint on the Spirit Ring or you die!"

Feeling the murderous intent in the black-robed man's eyes, Leng Ying's delicate body trembled. This Spiritual Ring was not hers, so how could she know how to remove the Soul Imprint?

"Looks like you're really not afraid of death?"

The black-clothed man's eyes narrowed. Unknowingly, a dagger had appeared in his right hand. He pressed it against Leng Ying's roar. The sharp coldness caused all the hairs on Leng Ying's body to stand on end.

"Don't kill me!

To tell you the truth, this Spirit Ring is not mine, and the Soul Imprint on it does not belong to me. I do not have the ability to erase it, "Leng Ying hurriedly shouted.

"Hmm?

Are you saying that the ring isn't yours?

Do you think we're three-year-old children? "

The black-clothed man's eyes narrowed. Soon after, he exerted force on the dagger in his hand. A glaring wound appeared on the snow-white skin on Leng Ying's neck, causing Leng Ying to involuntarily gulp. She shouted, "It's really not mine!

It's Zhuowen, one of the young men that we rescued from the Ruan Family's team. I got the Spirit Ring from that young man. "

"When I took the Spirit Ring, that Zhuowen refused to remove the Soul Imprint no matter what. Therefore, I had no choice but to give up. I planned to return to Yan City and ask the family's experts to forcefully erase the Soul Imprint on the Spirit Ring."

Hearing this, the black-clothed man's right hand paused. He stared coldly at Leng Ying and said, "Is this true?"

"I'm really not lying to you four sirs!

The Spirit Ring has already been taken by you, and now my life is in your hands. Why would I need to lie to you four sirs? "Leng Ying hurriedly said.

In the groove outside the cave, Zhuowen naturally heard the conversation clearly. The coldness in his heart towards Leng Ying grew even stronger.

Deng deng deng!

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from the bushes outside the cave. Shaoyan Pu had already brought a group of people and was rushing towards the cave.

Zhuowen, who was in the groove, naturally noticed Shaoyan Pu and his group. However, what made Zhuowen puzzled was that Shaoyan Pu had arrived too quickly. The black-clothed man had just arrived, and Shaoyan Pu was already able to find such a hidden cave?

Although he was puzzled, Zhuowen shrank his body even further into the groove. This did not attract the attention of Shaoyan Pu and his group.

Shaoyan Pu and his group directly rushed into the cave. At the same time, Shaoyan Pu loudly shouted, "Audacious thieves, you actually dared to hide in this cave. I, Shaoyan Pu of the Shaoyan Aristocratic Family, am here. Quickly hand over Miss Leng Ying. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences."

Shaoyan Pu's voice was very loud. Naturally, the few people in the cave heard him clearly. Among them, four of the black-clothed men's eyes flashed. However, Leng Ying's beautiful eyes were filled with hope. She knew that if Shaoyan Pu had arrived, then she would be saved.

"Big brother!

What should we do? "One of the black-clothed men stepped forward and asked the leader of the black-clothed men.

"Let's go!

This Shaoyan Pu is not simple. Do not confront him directly. "

After the leader of the black-clothed men finished speaking, he took a step forward and directly rushed out of the cave. The other three black-clothed men behind him followed unhurriedly. Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as the four black figures appeared, Shaoyan Pu immediately led his group to intercept them. Among them, Shaoyan Pu was the most ferocious. He took a step forward and blasted out his right palm. He collided head-on with the leader of the black-clothed men.

Puchi!

The leader of the black-clothed men was directly pushed back by the palm. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with dread and fear.

This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Leng Ying, who had just walked out of the cave. Leng Ying's beautiful eyes were filled with extraordinary splendor when she saw the powerful black-clothed man being pushed back by Shaoyan Pu in one move.

"Don't fight head-on. Leave this place immediately!"

The leader of the black-clothed men shouted. With a wave of his right hand, he threw out three black balls. When the balls rolled into the crowd, they suddenly exploded, spreading out clouds of white smoke. The smell of the white smoke was extremely pungent, causing Shaoyan Pu and his men to retreat.

"Let's go!"

As the white smoke rose, the four black-clothed men turned into four black lights and rushed toward the dense forest on the other side.

"Let's see where you are going!"

Shaoyan Pu shouted. He took a step forward and chased after the four black-clothed men like a roc spreading its wings. In an instant, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

While everyone's attention was on the black-clothed men and Shaoyan Pu, Zhuowen, who was hiding in the groove at the back of the cave, also quietly followed.

Leng Ying walked out of the cave and looked at Shaoyan Pu's disappearing figure with a touch of worry in her beautiful eyes. She said to the group of the Shaoyan family, "Young Master Shaoyan went to chase after the four black-clothed men alone. I'm afraid it will be dangerous. Why don't you all go together?"

"What do you know?

Young Master Shaoyan Pu's strength is not as little as what you have seen. With Young Master's strength, he will have no problem fighting the four black-clothed men alone. "A guard in the group sneered.

Leng Ying's beautiful eyes flashed slightly and she became silent. Just as the guard said, the strength that Shaoyan Pu had just displayed was indeed much stronger than the leader of the black-clothed men.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! The four black-clothed men shuttled through the dense forest like agile monkeys. Their speed was extremely fast, but Shaoyan Pu was not slow either. He followed closely behind the four black-clothed men.

Dozens of meters behind the five black-clothed men, a ghostly figure quietly followed them. This figure was naturally Zhuowen. The Spiritual Ring was too important to Zhuowen. He could not ignore it.

After about half an incense stick's time, the four black-clothed men suddenly stopped and stopped on a thick tree trunk. They calmly stared at Shaoyan Pu, who was following behind them.

Whoosh!

Shaoyan Pu stopped in front of the four black-clothed men. His robe and long hair fluttered without any wind. His face was full of arrogance.

Under the foot of a tree dozens of meters away, Zhuowen crouched and silently observed the confrontation between Shaoyan Pu and the black-clothed men. He wanted to see how Shaoyan Pu would snatch the Spiritual Ring from the four black-clothed men.

After all, Shaoyan Pu's cultivation was at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. The four black-clothed men were also at the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Shaoyan Pu's chances of winning against the four black-clothed men were not as high as one would imagine.

Just as Zhuowen was looking forward to the battle between the five black-clothed men and him taking advantage of the chaos, the four black-clothed men suddenly removed the black veils on their faces. They all knelt on one knee before Shaoyan Pu and said in unison, "Young Master!"

"Young Master?"

Seeing the four black-clothed men's strange actions, Zhuowen was stunned at first. Then, he revealed a thoughtful expression.

Shaoyan Pu placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Have you obtained the Spiritual Ring?"

"Young Master, don't worry. We have already obtained the Spiritual Ring!"

The leader of the black-clothed men was a burly man with a full beard. At this moment, he carefully came before Shaoyan Pu and handed the Spiritual Ring he had snatched from Leng Ying.

Looking at the Spiritual Ring lying quietly in his palm, Shaoyan Pu's eyes were filled with excitement. Among the younger generation of his family, only his elder brother, Shaoyan Qing Lin, had a Spiritual Ring. He had never had one before.

Therefore, Shaoyan Pu's desire for the Spiritual Ring was no less than Leng Ying's. In fact, it was even more exuberant. After all, the Spiritual Ring was not only a storage space, but also a symbol of nobility.

"Young Master!

According to Leng Ying, the Spiritual Ring does not belong to her. Therefore, Leng Ying has no way of removing the Spiritual Imprint on the Spiritual Ring. "The burly man hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth.

"Hmm?

If the Spiritual Imprint does not belong to Leng Ying, then whose is it? "Shaoyan Pu's eyes flickered with a cold light as he spoke with some displeasure.

The burly man lowered his head and carefully said, "According to Leng Ying, she snatched the Spiritual Ring from Zhuowen. That Zhuowen is the young man rescued by the Ruan Clan."

"Oh?

It's actually that Zhuowen? "

Shaoyan Pu narrowed his eyes. This was not the first time he had heard of Zhuowen. Before they departed, he had heard of him from Ruan Lingyu several times. It seemed that Ruan Lingyu was quite concerned about Zhuowen.
