Xiao Chen called Bai Ye as he walked.

"The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment..."

An emotionless prompt tone came from the receiver.

"Huh? Unable to connect? Asleep? That shouldn't be the case. I worked so hard, and this guy could fall asleep? How heartless."

Xiao Chen grumbled, but even if he was asleep, it shouldn't be that the call was unreachable, but that no one answered.

He found Sun Wugong's phone number and called him.

Beep beep beep.

Soon, the call was answered.

Sun Wugong's excited voice came from the receiver: "Brother Chen!"

"Haha, that's not necessary, is it? We haven't seen each other for just a few hours, is there any need to be so excited?"

Xiao Chen said with a smile as he listened to Sun Wugong's excited voice.

"Brother Chen, have you left the base? Great...something happened here."

Sun Wugong said hurriedly.

"Something happened?"

Xiao Chen's smile disappeared instantly.

"What happened?"

"Duanmu Hai brought the masters of the Duanmu family to the hotel... and there was also a half-step innate master!"

Sun Wugong said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's face changed. Master Duanmu Haikai went to the hotel? There was also a half-step innate master?

"And then? What's going on now? Have you all escaped?"

Xiao Chen asked urgently.

The people he brought this time were all his closest people. If anything really happened, he would absolutely not accept it!

"Yes, we escaped, but... Xiaobai and Dahan stayed behind to cover our retreat."

"What? Then they..."

Xiao Chen's voice was trembling a little.

In that situation, the danger of staying behind to cover the retreat is too great!

"Brother Chen, don't worry. They were captured by Duanmu Hai. They are not in danger..."

Sun Wugong said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief!

Got taken away?

At least you’re not dead!

Then, his eyes turned cold and he turned to look towards the location of the Duanmu family with murderous intent.

"I am near the Duanmu family. I will...kill the Duanmu family right now!"

Xiao Chen couldn't suppress his murderous intent and said coldly.

"You are near the Duanmu family? Brother Chen, don't be impulsive..."

Sun Wugong was shocked and spoke quickly.

"I'm not impulsive. Since they dare to arrest Bai Ye and Li Hanhou, they should be prepared to pay the price of being slaughtered!"

Xiao Chen's thought moved, and the Xuanyuan Sword fell into his hand.

"Xiao Chen, don't be impulsive. The safety of Bai Ye and Li Hanhou should be fine for now... Duanmu Hai captured them, obviously to threaten you with them, to tie your hands... Come back first, we will make a long-term plan! Besides, they may not return to the Duanmu family now, you may not find them at the Duanmu family! If so, you killed the people of the Duanmu family and angered Duanmu Hai and others. What if they killed Bai Ye and Li Hanhou?"

Ning Kejun's voice came from the receiver.

After hearing her words, Xiao Chen calmed down a bit. This was true.

For the time being, the safety of Bai Ye and Li Hanhou should be guaranteed.

If he kills someone and really angers Duanmu Hai, then it will be dangerous!

Right now, we still need to find out where they are being held and rescue them!

"I understand. I'll be right back."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He glanced at the Duanmu family again and decided not to go there for the time being. However, if anything happened to Bai Ye and Li Hanhou, he would definitely massacre the Duanmu family without leaving a single person alive!

"Do I need to pick you up?"

Ning Kejun asked.

"No, I'll go back by myself. Where are you now?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and quickened his pace.

"At the second stop, come on."

Ning Kejun said.

"Okay, see you later."

Xiao Chen nodded and hung up the phone.

"Duanmu Hai..."

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth. How did Duanmu Hai know that they were in Yangming City?

He has been keeping a low profile since coming to Yangming City.

In the end, it was discovered?

What went wrong?

Duanmu Qing?

Thinking of Duanmu Qing, Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold. If it was really Duanmu Qing, then he would definitely make him pay the price!

However, he did not call Duanmu Qing immediately. He planned to go back and ask what was going on.

After leaving the mountainous area, he came to the main road and looked left and right, but didn't see any cars.

“Damn it.”

Xiao Chen cursed inwardly and could only activate the "Chaos Art". His speed increased dramatically, as if he was flying, and only a faint shadow was left.

Ten minutes later, he finally saw a taxi and hailed it.

The taxi driver was a little wary. If he wasn't sending someone off, he wouldn't have come to such a remote place.

It’s the middle of the night and there are still people calling for a taxi here?

"To the city."

Xiao Chen said as he handed over five or six red banknotes.

Looking at the banknotes Xiao Chen handed over, the taxi driver's eyes lit up. So many?

It seems like it couldn't be a robbery, otherwise how could he give him so much.

He stopped making wild guesses, nodded, and drove towards Yangming City.

"Master, drive faster, I'm in a hurry."

Xiao Chen said to the driver.

"good."

The driver agreed and hesitated.

"Friend, why are you in such a remote place so late at night?"

"I came here during the day and got lost in the mountains. It was hard to get out."

Xiao Chen said casually.

"oh oh."

The driver nodded. Although he thought Xiao Chen didn't look like a traveler going to the mountains for fun, he didn't ask any more questions.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived in Yangming.

Xiao Chen asked him to find a place to stop, then changed a taxi and went to where he was staying.

What happened tonight made him feel that it would be better for him to be careful in Yangming.

He underestimated the Duanmu family!

If no one had exposed their location, the Duanmu family's control over Yangming would have been really scary!

After arriving at the place where he was staying, Xiao Chen saw Ning Kejun and others. They were all there and no one went to rest.

Xiao Chen looked around, and Bai Ye and Li Hanhou were missing.

"Brother Chen, you're back."

Sun Wugong and others greeted them one after another.

"Well, no one was hurt, right? Tell me, what happened?"

After a few brief greetings, Xiao Chen asked.

Soon, he understood what had happened, including Duanmu Qing's phone call.

This surprised him a little. On the way back, he even suspected Duanmu Qing, wondering if Duanmu Qing had exposed their position and attracted the masters of the Duanmu family.

Now it seems that he had wronged him.

"In other words, when leaving the hotel, someone deliberately led away Duanmu Hai and the half-step Xiantian of the Duanmu family?"

Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Well, we just discussed it. It should be Duanmu Qing who did it. There is no one else except him."

Ning Kejun nodded.

"Xiao Chen, don't be impulsive. They took Bai Ye and Li Hanhou away for some reason... I won't hurt them for now."

"I know."

Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Zhuge Qingxi.

We can leave tonight, thanks in large part to Zhuge Qingxi's contribution.

If she hadn't set up a large formation and temporarily restrained the half-step innate person of the Duanmu family, Ning Kejun and others would probably not be able to escape!

"Xixi, thank you for tonight."

Xiao Chen said to Zhuge Qingxi.

"Brother Chen, you don't have to be so polite to me, we are family."

Zhuge Qingxi shook his head and said seriously.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded. The girl's eyes were red and swollen, and she must have cried a lot.

"Brother Xiao, what are you going to do next? Find out where Bai Ye and the others were captured, or rescue them secretly?"

Hua Youque looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"I'll call Duanmu Qing first and ask about the details. I'll make a decision after I've asked him."

Xiao Chen shook his head, took out his cell phone and called Duanmu Qing.

"Mr. Xiao."

Soon, the call was connected and Duanmu Qing's voice came from the receiver.

"You're back."

"Well, Mr. Duanmu, I already know what happened. Thank you very much for tonight."

Xiao Chen said seriously.

"When this is over, I will definitely give you the antidote...I'll keep my word."

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Duanmu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. His risk tonight was not in vain.

"Mr. Duanmu, did you send someone to lure Duanmu Hai away?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, I asked Mu Lao and the others to lead them away, but unfortunately... Duanmu Hai still rushed back."

Duanmu Qing said slowly.

"I showed up later, and Bai Ye and Li Hanhou fell into his hands... I suggested that he hand them over to me and I would find a place to secretly detain them, but he didn't agree."

"So where are they now?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"I don't know either. Duanmu Hai said that there is a secret place where they are detained... Even if you want to save them, you can't do it!"

Duanmu Qing said in a deep voice.

"I have checked recently and there is no news... It will be difficult to find their whereabouts."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned even deeper. If he couldn't find the source, how could he save people?

Could it be that we really want to let Duanmu Hai take the initiative and force him to do something?

"Will Duanmu Hai bring the person back to the Duanmu family?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.

"It shouldn't happen. I've asked people over there to keep an eye on them. If they go back to the Duanmu family, I'll get the news... Mr. Xiao, don't worry. Since Duanmu Hai didn't kill Bai Ye and Li Hanhou on the spot, the possibility of killing them again is not very high! More importantly, Duanmu Hai wants to use the two of them to coerce you. The value of being alive is greater than being dead."

Duanmu Qing said to Xiao Chen.

"I will continue to investigate here, and if there is any news, I will inform you in time."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Duanmu... But I'll wait until tomorrow morning at most. If there's still no news, I'll use my own method to solve this matter."

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.

"Hmm? What do you want to do? Kill the Duanmu family?"

Duanmu Qing was startled and asked.

"Don't be impulsive. If you really kill the Duanmu family, Bai Ye and Li Hanhou will surely die."

"No, there are other ways... By the way, does Duanmu Hai know that the Dark Church and the Dragon Emperor have come to Yangming?"

Xiao Chen thought of something and asked again.

"I don't know. He is also worried about the situation of the Holy See of Light in Yangming. Do you know about it? He seems to have asked Bai Ye about it, but Bai Ye didn't say anything. He just mentioned that Senior Xiao would come to Yangming."

Duanmu Qing replied.

"Yes, I understand."

Xiao Chen's heart moved and he nodded.
