Saintess Rescued… Then Ambushed Again in the Smoke!

“Moon Master, the scout in Longyan City has sent word.
Those Western knights have appeared.”
It was still that same small wooden cabin.

“Have they made any moves?”
The robed figure called Moon Master spoke in a cold voice.

“A vampire princess kidnapped a girl, but the Holy Knight Order captain rescued her.
The scout discovered that the girl is, unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden.
She has now been locked up by the Holy Knight Order and is being prepared for transport back to Europe.”

“Has Longya or the Qilin side taken any action?”
The Moon Master’s tone did not change, as if these matters had nothing to do with him.

“The girl is a member of Longya.
Longya headquarters is tracking her location.
As for the Qilin, Ouyang Tianqi has gone out to look for her personally.”

“Heh heh, I never expected the new Holy Maiden to be so highly sought after.”
The Moon Master laughed.
But his laugh sounded like a wail from the abyss, sending chills down the spine.

“Moon Master, should we take action?”

“Issue an order to the people in Longyan City.
Even if they die, they must bring the Holy Maiden to me.”

“Can we take a break?
You all say you are holy knights, but you don’t even have horses.
I’m exhausted.”
Cai Xiaowei complained.

“This is Chinese territory.
We snuck in secretly.
How could we ride horses?”
Silva’s tone was very unpleasant.
Cai Xiaowei had been asking questions and dawdling the entire way, clearly trying to stall for time.

“I don’t care.
I’m not walking anymore.”
Cai Xiaowei started acting bratty.
“Stay away from me, don’t touch me!”
When she saw a knight trying to come over and pull her along, Cai Xiaowei immediately warned him.

“Do you think I don’t understand your little schemes?
Trying to stall for time, waiting for someone to rescue you?
Ouyang Haiyue, don’t be so shameless!”
Silva walked over and slapped Cai Xiaowei across the face.

“Slap!”
The sound of the slap was very loud.
Cai Xiaowei was stunned.
The other knights were also stunned.

Before long, the burning pain sobered Cai Xiaowei up.
“You dare hit me?
I’ll fight you to the death!”

Because her whole body was locked up, Cai Xiaowei could only charge at him and bite Silva’s arm.
Silva did not dodge.
He only frowned as he watched Cai Xiaowei bite him.

Only when Cai Xiaowei had lost all her strength did she let go with satisfaction.
By then, Silva’s arm was already covered in blood, as if the flesh had nearly been bitten off.
Everyone watched them nervously.

“Are you done being angry?”
Silva took out a cloth to bandage his arm, his expression very grim.

“Not done.
You dared to hit me.
I will remember this.”
Cai Xiaowei disgustedly spat out the blood from her mouth.

Just then, Silva walked over, lifted Cai Xiaowei directly onto his shoulder, and said, “Keep moving.”

“Put me down!
Ah, my lungs!
Be gentle…
I won’t squirm anymore…”
Cai Xiaowei kept howling.

“Ouyang Tianqi, where are you going?”
Li Mo had used great effort to stop Ouyang Tianqi.

“I’m going to find someone.
This has nothing to do with you.
Go back.”
Ouyang Tianqi’s tone was a bit impatient.

“You’re looking for that Cai Xiaowei from Longya, aren’t you?”
Li Mo suddenly smiled.

Ouyang Tianqi was first a bit surprised, then spoke with some anger.
“You have people following me?”

“Yes, I have people following you.
I will not allow anything to happen to the Qilin.
Why are you so concerned about that Cai Xiaowei?”
Her tone carried a strong hint of jealousy.

Just then, Ouyang Tianqi’s phone rang.

“Hello, got it.
Send me the location.”
Ouyang Tianqi put down his phone and said to Li Mo, “I don’t have time to explain right now.
Come if you want, go back if you don’t.”

Ouyang Tianqi flew off toward the location sent to his phone.
Li Mo frowned, but still followed.

They flew all the way out of Longyan City and spotted about a dozen figures on a small road in the outskirts.
Ouyang Tianqi did not hesitate and quickly flew over to block their path.
Li Mo followed and flew down as well.

The Holy Knight Order, who had been marching, was suddenly blocked by two people.
Moreover, the leading man was filled with murderous intent.
Everyone drew their swords and looked at the two warily.

Ouyang Tianqi saw Cai Xiaowei being carried on someone’s shoulder and immediately said angrily, “Put her down!”

Feeling the powerful ability fluctuations from Ouyang Tianqi, Silva put down Cai Xiaowei and walked alone to the front of the group, looking at Ouyang Tianqi.
“Who are you?
I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”
Silva also drew his greatsword.

“I didn’t expect the Westerners to arrive so soon.
Heh heh, I recognize you.
The child who escaped back then, Silva.”
Ouyang Tianqi recognized Silva.
Ten years ago, when the Holy Knight Order came to the Ouyang family, they had stayed for a full half month.
At that time, Silva and Ouyang Tianqi were both ten-year-old children, so they had been very close.

“Who are you?”
Silva looked at Ouyang Tianqi warily.
Since the other party knew about the events of ten years ago, he must be connected to those Easterners back then.

“I am Ouyang Tianqi!
I am also the Eastern Qilin!”
Ouyang Tianqi said in a loud, clear voice.

Silva was taken aback.
So Ouyang Tianqi was actually the Qilin.
Ouyang Haiyue was his sister.
He must have used some secret method to resurrect Ouyang Haiyue.

“So you’ve come to take your sister back?”
Silva said with a smile.

Li Mo was a bit confused.
‘Take his sister back?’
How did Cai Xiaowei become Ouyang Tianqi’s sister?

“If you release my sister now, I will still let you leave.
If you dare harm my sister, I will make sure every one of you dies here today.”
Ouyang Tianqi clenched his fists.

“Don’t underestimate our Holy Knight Order.
No matter what kind of Qilin you are, there are only two of you.”
Pabi stepped forward and said.

Ouyang Tianqi knew he had no choice but to fight.
He turned to Li Mo and said, “I’m sorry I kept this from you.
She is my sister, Ouyang Haiyue.
She has been resurrected.
I had thought that as long as no one knew she was the Holy Maiden, she wouldn’t be taken away.
I never expected the Westerners to find out so quickly.
Once I start fighting them, find an opportunity to rescue my sister.
I’m begging you.”
Ouyang Tianqi’s voice was full of pleading.

Li Mo was no longer angry.
If Cai Xiaowei was Ouyang Haiyue, it was no longer strange that Ouyang Tianqi cared so much about her.
As for how Ouyang Haiyue had been resurrected, she didn’t care.
As long as Ouyang Haiyue was here, Ouyang Tianqi could completely rouse himself.
Li Mo nodded solemnly.

Ouyang Tianqi smiled and said thank you, then turned back around.
Abilities of various colors swirled around his body.
Although the injuries from his last battle with Cai Xiaowei had not fully healed, there was no time to worry about that now.

“I’ll test his strength first.
All of you stand back.”
Silva instructed Pabi and the others.

Ouyang Tianqi pushed his hands forward, and two streaks of red flame flew toward Silva.
Silva directly transformed into a Golden Knight and used his golden greatsword to block the two flames, deflecting them into the air.
Ouyang Tianqi quickly condensed two wind blades and sent them flying at Silva.
Silva dodged one, but the other cut his cheek.
Blood slowly dripped down.

Ouyang Tianqi changed his hand gestures, sending over a barrage of ice shards.
Silva could only summon a golden holy light to protect his body and continue defending.
Then, Ouyang Tianqi continued unleashing a torrent of various other abilities.

After one round of attacks, Ouyang Tianqi stopped, panting heavily.
Silva, leaning on his golden greatsword, was covered in wounds, blood streaming from his mouth.
His golden holy armor was completely shattered.

“Surrender.
This is the gap in our strength.
Besides, I can see that you are injured.
I don’t want to take advantage of someone in a weakened state.”
Ouyang Tianqi looked at Silva and said.

“I had heard before that the Eastern Qilin is a possessor of all ability types, which is why he is the leader of the Eastern ability world.
After crossing swords with you today, it’s clear that reputation is well deserved.”
As Silva spoke, he coughed up more blood.

“Now, as the Qilin, I will not allow the events of ten years ago to happen again.
Leave.
I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Ouyang Tianqi looked coldly at the Holy Knight Order.

“Captain, let’s retreat for now.
This Qilin is too strong.
Once your injuries heal and you can transform into a Leo, we can come back.
It won’t be too late.”
Pabi knew that the captain couldn’t transform into a Leo because of his injuries, so he quickly tried to persuade him.

Seeing that the captain was unmoved, Pabi sighed.
While Silva wasn’t paying attention, he knocked him unconscious from behind.

“Take the captain and let’s go.”
Everyone snapped out of their shock and quickly fled with the captain.
Pabi glanced at Cai Xiaowei, shook his head, and disappeared into the night.

“I’m saved at last.
Ouyang Tianqi, hurry up and take these chains off me.”
Cai Xiaowei called out happily.

Ouyang Tianqi smiled, but then suddenly collapsed to his knees, his face very pale.
“The injuries from last time are a bit severe.
Today, just using a little bit of my abilities did this to me.
Li Mo, hurry up and take the chains off my sister.”
Ouyang Tianqi spoke calmly, indicating that nothing was wrong with him.

Li Mo glanced at Ouyang Tianqi and shook her head.
He was still forcing himself to hold on.

Just as Li Mo was walking toward Cai Xiaowei, many smoke bombs were thrown from the surrounding area.
Instantly, the entire space was filled with thick black smoke.

Cai Xiaowei, Ouyang Tianqi, and Li Mo all coughed violently in the dense smoke.
