Po Tianying was very smart. It knew that once its master set a boundary, the kidnappers were likely to be within that area.
It was responsible for stealthy flight, while the mischievous one kept sniffing around.
Cheng Xiaofan’s divine sense had been closely following the pair of beasts.
As Po Tianying carried the mischievous one into a canyon, the starry night sky suddenly turned dark.
Wind began to blow in the canyon.
This wind felt as if it came from the depths of winter, piercingly cold.
The myriad stars, however, could not illuminate the pitch-black firmament.
Within his sea of consciousness, Cheng Xiaofan could clearly sense a terrifying aura echoing in the canyon.
"Woof woof!"
Master, with my sense of smell, I've detected twelve people from Sakura Country hidden in this canyon. Their auras are all the same.
Moreover, Miyazaki Tianye, the one from last time, is among them.
After receiving Taoqi Bao’s report, Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly. He then magnified his divine sense and immediately discovered Miyazaki Tianye and the others, each scattered and hidden behind large rocks in the canyon.
Moreover, they were all concealed behind the rocks using invisibility techniques.
Xu Man was bound tightly with ropes, her mouth gagged with a piece of cloth, and tied to a very conspicuous pine tree.
Clearly, they were using Xu Man as bait to lure Cheng Xiaofan.
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan rushed forward to rescue Xu Man, those Blood Demon Sect members would swarm him and kill him as quickly as possible.
"You can turn invisible, and you think I won't be able to find you?"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered inwardly. "You probably don't know that my Po Tianying can also turn invisible!"
"You little devils, do you think I'm just a decoration!"
He immediately commanded the pair of beasts: "Po Tianying, you and Taoqi Bao, rescue Xu Man as quickly as possible and take her to the Lakeside Hotel!"
"As for Miyazaki Tianye and the others, I will deal with them!"
"Woof woof!"
"Chirp—"
The dog and the eagle immediately responded, "Don't worry, Master, we'll rescue Xu Man right away and take her to the Lakeside Hotel."
Just as the dog and eagle approached the pine tree, Cheng Xiaofan called Long Xingyun: "Long Xingyun, prepare a room at the hotel. Xu Man will be brought there by Po Tianying and Taoqi Bao after she's rescued. You'll be responsible for arranging her rest!"
"Yes, Master!" Long Xingyun replied.
After hanging up, Cheng Xiaofan leaped into the air.
In an instant, Cheng Xiaofan transformed into a divine eagle, soaring over ravines, his feet treading on treetops, and swiftly moving towards the canyon.
...
In the canyon.
A disciple of the Blood Demon Sect asked Miyazaki Tianye, "Vice Sect Master, it's almost one in the morning, and this Cheng Xiaofan hasn't arrived yet. Won't he come?"
"He will definitely come!"
Miyazaki Tianye, with his blind eyes, said with a ferocious expression, "I know this person. He values loyalty greatly. If something happens to Xu Man in his territory, he cannot possibly not save her."
"I believe he will arrive in a little while!"
Another Blood Demon Sect disciple sneered, "As long as he comes, it's fine. Then Vice Sect Master can just watch from the side... ah, no, you can just sit and rest on the side. We eleven brothers will rush him, and he'll be dead in minutes!"
Miyazaki Tianye nodded and said, "However, this fellow named Zhong can excavate dragon qi, even transform it into dragon images, and it has powerful attack capabilities. You must not underestimate him."
"Also, after killing him, we can't let his blood go to waste."
"I need to use his blood to refine pills to improve the strength of our Blood Demon Sect!"
The eleven Blood Demon Sect disciples said in unison, "Please rest assured, Vice Sect Master, we will not let any of that kid's fresh blood be wasted."
"Ah, no! Xu Man is gone!"
At this moment, a Blood Demon Sect disciple cried out in alarm.
The others immediately looked towards the pine tree. Apart from the ropes lying scattered on the ground, it was empty. There was no trace of Xu Man.
"Ah, what's going on? This rope is broken, and Xu Man is gone?" The Blood Demon Sect disciples, no longer caring about their invisibility, rushed out from behind the rocks.
Miyazaki Tianye heard this and roared furiously, "Baka! Are your eyes on your backside? How could a living person disappear under your noses?"
"Quick, examine the broken rope for me!"
Someone immediately picked up the broken ropes from the ground and handed them to him.
Miyazaki Tianye felt the broken ropes, his eyebrows twitching several times. He said, "These ropes were bitten off by an animal, not cut by humans."
"Obviously, Cheng Xiaofan sent his Po Tianying or his dog."
"You scoundrels, you hid yourselves, but did you also hide your eyes? A dog and an eagle landed right in front of you, and not one of you saw them?"
Upon hearing this, one of the Blood Demon Sect disciples retorted indignantly, "Vice Sect Master, we know your hearing is extremely sharp. You can hear an ant crawling on the ground from three meters away. How come you didn't hear the dog and the eagle rescuing Xu Man?"
"Insolent!"
Miyazaki Tianye, enraged, said, "Who gave you the audacity to speak to me in such a tone?"
"In your eyes, do you still respect me as your Vice Sect Master?"
Seeing that Miyazaki Tianye was truly angry, the disciple immediately cowered.
He quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Vice Sect Master, I spoke carelessly just now. Please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again!"
At this moment, Miyazaki Tianye also calmed down.
He felt that his subordinate was right. His hearing was indeed very sensitive.
If an animal were to bite the ropes binding Xu Man nearby, he would definitely have heard it.
What exactly was going on?
"Hahaha..."
Just as Miyazaki Tianye was puzzled, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out from the canyon. "Miyazaki Tianye, we meet again!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, you've finally come!" Miyazaki Tianye, as if on nerves, sprang up from the ground.
Although Miyazaki Tianye was blind and could not see Cheng Xiaofan's face, he had previously studied Cheng Xiaofan's live broadcast videos and was quite familiar with his voice.
Upon hearing that Cheng Xiaofan had arrived, the eleven Blood Demon Sect disciples tensed up, each preparing for a fight.
At this moment, in the fog-filled canyon, Cheng Xiaofan, as if lifting a curtain, extended his hands, pushed aside the thick fog, and gracefully walked out.
Cheng Xiaofan completely ignored the Blood Demon Sect disciples, smiled at Miyazaki Tianye, and said, "Miyazaki Tianye, you lost your eyes here last time. I thought you would mend your ways and become a new person after returning to Sakura Country."
"I didn't expect you to be so forgetful of pain and come to my territory to cause trouble again. I'm curious, why aren't you living a good life and instead come here to court death?"
"Young man, don't think that just because this old man is blind, I'm no match for you. I can take your life with a flick of my finger!" Cheng Xiaofan's remark about forgetting pain completely enraged Miyazaki Tianye.
