Being kidnapped

Ouyang Mingyue turned back, her tone urgent: "This is Three Immortals Island's distress signal! I must go and see!"

Zhao Yuwei was startled, then immediately followed.

Three Immortals Island had a special whistle sound used for mutual contact during times of crisis.

Unexpectedly, they heard it at such a time.

The two rushed out of the inn and arrived on the empty street.

The night wind blew, tree shadows swayed, and a few barks came from afar, making the surroundings seem even more silent.

However, the whistle sound had already disappeared.

Just as Zhao Yuwei was looking around, Xiao Feng also ran out of the inn.

He saw the two girls standing on the street and was about to walk over when suddenly a black figure leaped down from the rooftop, heading straight for Xiao Feng!

"Be careful!" Zhao Yuwei exclaimed.

Xiao Feng reacted extremely quickly, his figure flickered, narrowly avoiding the black-clothed man's attack.

Under the moonlight, the black-clothed man held a gleaming short blade, his moves vicious, aiming directly for Xiao Feng's vital points.

Xiao Feng let out a cold snort, unhurriedly, and slammed out his right palm. The palm wind whistled, blocking the dagger's attack head-on with the force of overturning mountains and seas.

Seeing this, the black-clothed man spun his body, the dagger drawing arcs of cold light as it stabbed towards Xiao Feng from different angles.

Xiao Feng dodged left and right, and the black-clothed man's fierce attacks all missed.

Xiao Feng seized the opportunity, his left leg pushing off forcefully. His entire body shot towards the black-clothed man like a cannonball, his right fist wrapped in powerful Internal Energy, smashing towards the black-clothed man's chest with whistling wind.

The black-clothed man hurriedly raised his arm to block: "Bang!" With a muffled sound, the black-clothed man was sent staggering back several steps by Xiao Feng's punch.

The black-clothed man steadied his body, let out a low shout from his mouth, and quickly formed hand seals. The surrounding air seemed to twist because of this.

Suddenly, he pushed his palms forward, and a black current of air surged towards Xiao Feng like a raging tide.

Xiao Feng felt the powerful force contained within this current of air and dared not be careless. He immediately gathered all his Internal Energy and exerted his palms with full force.

In an instant, a golden Dragon light projection condensed in his palm, roaring as it charged towards the black current of air.

The golden and black lights collided fiercely in the air, emitting a deafening roar, as if the sky and earth were splitting apart.

For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere.

Just at this moment, the black-clothed man seemed to seize the opportunity, suddenly changed his attack target, and lunged towards Ouyang Mingyue!

"No good!" Xiao Feng shouted, but it was already too late to stop him.

The black-clothed man grabbed Ouyang Mingyue, tucked her under his armpit as if carrying a small chicken, leaped up, and was about to leave.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei pursued relentlessly, wind beneath their feet, reaching the surface of the sea in the blink of an eye.

The moonlight scattered on the sparkling sea surface, reflecting three figures speeding along.

The black-clothed man, holding Ouyang Mingyue in his arms, moved across the sea surface as if on flat ground, his speed not decreasing at all.

"Stop!" Xiao Feng roared, true energy surging within him, and suddenly accelerated.

The black-clothed man glanced back, let out a cold snort, and suddenly formed hand seals.

In an instant, the sea surface churned violently, and a hundred-meter-high water wall rose from the ground, blocking Xiao Feng and the other person.

"Mere tricks!" Zhao Yuwei drew her long sword, the sword light like a rainbow, slashing through the air.

With a "hiss," the water wall split in response, divided into two from the middle.

Xiao Feng followed closely, his figure like lightning, passing directly through the gap in the water wall.

However, when they broke through the water wall's obstruction, before them was a vast expanse of sea, where were the black-clothed man and Ouyang Mingyue's traces?

"Damn it!" Xiao Feng clenched his fists, a hint of frustration flashing in his eyes.

"It's all my fault for being weak. If I were faster, I could definitely catch up to them!"

Zhao Yuwei sheathed her sword, gently patted Xiao Feng's shoulder, and said softly, "Don't blame yourself. Who could have known that after Three Immortals Island was destroyed, someone would still plot against Miss Ouyang? You can't be blamed for this."

Xiao Feng reluctantly calmed his emotions. "She fell into the hands of villains, my heart is uneasy."

"Let's go back to the inn first and make a long-term plan."

Zhao Yuwei suggested.

The two had no choice but to step on the waves and return.

Along the way, Xiao Feng's brows were tightly furrowed, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

"Mingyue, you must be safe!"

Just as they reached the inn entrance, Jing Shen rushed out from inside.

His expression was panicked, his forehead covered in sweat, and he said breathlessly, "You're finally back! I was sleeping too soundly tonight, and suddenly heard a commotion outside. By the time I ran out, I only saw the two of you chasing someone into the distance. What exactly happened?"

Zhao Yuwei's delicate brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes full of worry, and she sighed, "Ouyang Mingyue was kidnapped. We chased him the whole way, but still let that guy get away. As for who kidnapped her, we have no clue either."

Xiao Feng's brows were tightly furrowed. Suddenly, he found a black jade pendant on the ground.

The jade pendant emitted a faint luster under the dim moonlight. Its texture was warm and moist, and the carving was exquisite. It was clear at a glance that its value was considerable.

Xiao Feng bent down to pick up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. This jade pendant was likely dropped by the black-clothed man after he took a palm strike from him during their fight just now.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He said excitedly to Zhao Yuwei, "Zhao Yuwei, look at this jade pendant. If it really belongs to that black-clothed man and he accidentally dropped it while fighting me, it might be a clue!"

Zhao Yuwei took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.

She gently stroked the surface of the jade pendant, her brows slightly furrowed: "This jade pendant is exquisitely crafted, with unique patterns. It truly doesn't look like an ordinary item. Your speculation makes a lot of sense."

Xiao Feng handed the jade pendant to Jing Shen and asked, "Brother Jing, have you ever seen a jade pendant like this?"

Jing Shen took the jade pendant, examined it carefully for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened: "This... I seem to have seen this jade pendant at Bi Jian Villa!"

"What?" Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei exclaimed simultaneously.

Jing Shen recalled, "That day I was forcefully taken to Bi Jian Villa to get married, and I saw a similar jade pendant inside the villa. Although it was just a quick glance, I would never mistake this unique pattern."

A sharp light flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "In that case, could the destruction of Three Immortals Island be related to Bi Jian Villa?"

Zhao Yuwei frowned in thought: "Indeed, the destruction of Three Immortals Island has been strange for a long time. If Bi Jian Villa is truly involved in this matter, then the black-clothed man who kidnapped Miss Ouyang is very likely someone from Bi Jian Villa."

Xiao Feng hit his palm with his fist and said firmly, "To rescue Miss Ouyang, we will go to Bi Jian Villa!"

Zhao Yuwei and Jing Shen nodded solemnly.

The three immediately packed their belongings, preparing to set off for Bi Jian Villa.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious boudoir within Bi Jian Villa, a sharp roar broke the morning's tranquility.

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

A young girl with a graceful figure was furiously waving the comb in her hand, and the surrounding objects were smashed to pieces by her.

Several maids were trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground and constantly kowtowing for mercy.
