I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Um?"

Bai Yichen frowned in confusion and muttered to himself, "Isn't that man from Mi Zhuang? Why is he whispering with that white-skinned, yellow-haired man? He looks sneaky, and I don't know what he is planning."

Seeing that the two people were about to separate, Bai Yichen's doubts grew stronger.

He decided to find out the truth of the matter, so he moved his right hand slightly, pinched his fingers and whispered: "Phoenix's Shadow, go."

As the words fell, Bai Yichen gently waved his right hand, and a stream of air that was imperceptible to the naked eye instantly rushed towards the yellow-haired man.

In the blink of an eye, the air current clung to the man's body like a thorn in his flesh.

Then, an amazing scene happened.

The originally invisible and intangible airflow suddenly transformed into the shape of a small and exquisite person. It raised its hand and waved happily at Bai Yichen.

Bai Yichen was secretly delighted and followed without making a sound.

Following all the way, Bai Yichen carefully kept a distance, so as not to let the other party discover his whereabouts while making sure not to lose the target.

After following the man around for two circles, the man seemed to finally be sure that no one was following him, so he walked towards a secluded alley with confidence.

Soon, the man came to a door and knocked gently on it.

When the gate opened, he walked in quickly and neatly, as if he was very familiar with the place.

Bai Yichen's mental power was locked onto that person, but in the next second, his face suddenly changed, full of surprise, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Damn! Something big is going to happen!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Bai Yichen acted decisively and quietly left a special mark at the base of the courtyard wall.

Then, he turned around without hesitation and ran towards Mi Zhuang as fast as he could.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious and had to tell Qin Nuan this important news as soon as possible so that he could be prepared for possible crises.

While running, Bai Yichen was thinking about the response strategy in his mind.

He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time.

Soon, he arrived at Mi Zhuang.

He knocked on the door breathlessly, and after seeing Qin Nuan, he looked around and didn't see anyone from Mi Zhuang. He immediately told her everything he had seen.

After Qin Nuan heard this, his expression became very solemn.

She knew very well the seriousness of the matter. If she failed to take effective measures in time to deal with the crisis, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Can I trust you?" Qin Nuan stared at Bai Yichen, her eyes full of doubt and uneasiness, and asked softly.

Bai Yichen nodded without hesitation and answered firmly: "Of course you can trust me! You are someone recognized by the Divine Phoenix, and I am the Divine Phoenix's loyal guardian. No matter what mission you need me to perform, please tell me, I will do my best and accomplish my mission!"

Qin Nuan was slightly relieved to receive such a decisive response from Bai Yichen, but she was still not completely at ease.

After a brief thought, she said, "How about this, I will arrange for the four elders of Xiaoshan to accompany you to investigate. You must thoroughly find out what the real purpose of these people is."

Bai Yichen nodded and replied: "No problem, I understand."

Then, he specifically reminded: "You must always remain highly vigilant against the man from Mi Zhuang. As for whether there are other unidentified enemies, we don't know yet, but you must be extra careful anyway. It's best for the Divine Phoenix and the Divine Dragon not to easily reveal their whereabouts now, so as not to bring you unnecessary risks."

Seeing Qin Nuan narrowing her eyes and staring at him thoughtfully, Bai Yichen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "After successfully resolving this incident, I will definitely tell you all the truth. Please rest assured, I, Bai Yichen, will never do anything to harm the Divine Phoenix or you!"

Qin Nuan nodded slightly, led Bai Yichen to the four elders of Xiaoshan, and told them the matter in detail.

As soon as the words fell, the four of them became furious.

"Damn it! I never expected that Mi Zhuang is such a secretive person!"

"Mi Zhuang, ah Mi Zhuang, now it's hard to tell whether you're a human or a ghost!"

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow me!"

Seeing the figures of the five people gradually going away, Qin Nuan lowered her voice and called out softly: "Qin Mo, spread the news and say that I got a divine phoenix feather. It not only details how the divine dragon arrived in the United States from Daxia and why it was imprisoned in the Sea of ​​Death, but also marks the location of the divine phoenix."

"Master, this may not be appropriate..."

"Don't worry, just do it, and be quick. I think once this news gets out, those rats hiding in the dark will definitely be unable to hold back."

"Yes, sir." Qin Mo knew that Qin Nuan was extremely furious at this moment, and murderous aura was all around him. He couldn't help but pray silently for those people in his heart.

"Qin Shu, pay close attention to the person Bai Yichen mentioned."

"But Master, if I leave, there will be no one to protect you..."

"If not, where would they have the chance..."

"yes."

After Qin Shu obeyed the order, he concealed his presence, quietly found the man, and stared at him in the dark...

...................

the other side.

Bai Yichen and his group tracked the air flow to a remote house.

The courtyard was filled with a strange and depressing atmosphere, as if an invisible force was surging in the dark.

Everyone's heart tightened, and they unconsciously became more alert, moving forward cautiously.

At this moment, a group of figures in black emerged from the darkness like ghosts. They moved as swiftly as ghosts and instantly started a fierce battle with everyone.

Bai Yichen's figure flashed, and he shuttled between the enemies like a gust of wind.

The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, his sword skills were extremely sharp, and every sword contained a deadly threat.

He has an agile figure and his sword moves are unpredictable and dazzling.

The four elders of Xiaoshan cooperated closely with each other. Their palm methods were fierce and powerful, echoing with Bai Yichen's swordsmanship. For a while, it was difficult to tell the winner.

The attacks of the men in black came in an endless stream like a surging tide. The weapons in their hands flashed with icy light and their moves were brutal and ruthless.

Bai Yichen nimbly dodged a fierce slash from a man in black by leaning sideways, and stabbed out with his sword, aiming directly at the opponent's vital point.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other man in black immediately swung his sword and tried to stop Bai Yichen's attack.

However, Bai Yichen was extremely agile. He turned around and easily avoided the blade. At the same time, the sword changed its momentum and turned into a dazzling sword light, piercing the chest of the man in black like lightning.

For a moment, the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers were intertwined, and the sounds of palm winds and swords rose and fell.

The two sides fought back and forth, neither side gave in, and the whole scene became extremely intense.
