Bai Tianci was extremely panicked after seeing his son and daughter kidnapped, and immediately wanted to chase after them. However, his speed was no match for the two, and he was quickly left behind.
Seeing this, Bai Tianci's heart was filled with doubt. He knew that Shen Feng and Jin Zijue were already famous. Shen Feng was the renowned Wind God, and he basically never did anything harmful. Even though Jin Zijue's reputation was a bit worse, he was still a good fellow. Yet, these two renowned heroes of the martial world had kidnapped his children. Bai Tianci felt that something was deeply wrong.
"Now that the children have been taken, I can't just watch them be taken away. Tomorrow, I will go to the appointment on time. You protect yourself at home, do you understand?" Bai Tianci's heart was filled with doubt, but overthinking now was useless. Only by going to the meeting could he figure out the situation.
Upon hearing this, Bai Fengying's face turned pale, as she knew the worst outcome had occurred.
So, after returning home, Bai Fengying said to her husband, "There's something I've always been worried about, which is that you would leave our home after recovering your memory. Therefore, I've always been preventing this from happening. If you recover your memory, will you leave me then?"
Bai Tianci immediately said with conviction after hearing this question, "Don't worry, I will never leave this home. What do you take me for? I'm not like Chen Shimei who abandons his wife after getting what he wants."
Next, Bai Tianci wanted to swear an oath to prove his sincerity, but Bai Fengying persuaded him against it. In the end, they both fell asleep in bed. Bai Tianci didn't move much in his sleep, but Bai Fengying tossed and turned, finding it difficult to sleep.
Shen Feng and Jin Zijue quickly returned to the military camp in the northern part of the Taihang Mountains, still carrying the two crying children. These children had been crying because they realized they had been taken to the outside world by strange uncles. Were they really going to be sold?
When Lu Kaiyang heard that the City Lord had led people to the north for revenge, he also brought a group of youths to appear here. He thought the City Lord would definitely seek revenge upon arrival, but things were not like that. The City Lord had actually returned to the military camp with two small children at this time.
"City Lord, are you kidnapping people?" Lu Kaiyang asked directly after seeing the City Lord.
Shen Feng replied, "Don't talk nonsense. These two children are Yue Hengyi's children. I'm just forcing him to regain his former prowess at this time."
After speaking, Shen Feng bent down and said to the two children, "I'm not a bad person. I'm your uncle. You two will stay here for a few days, and I'll have someone take care of you. Do you understand?"
Shen Feng thought that after explaining his identity, the children would stop crying, but he miscalculated. The children had already learned that they had been taken away and would be sold, so they were still crying at this moment.
"I want to go home. You're a bad person. You're going to sell us," the two children continued to cry.
Shen Feng said helplessly, "Uncle won't sell you. As long as you behave, I'll send you back in a few days."
"Really?" The two children were also tired from crying. Upon hearing Shen Feng's words, they stopped crying.
"Of course it's true. Uncle won't lie to you. When your father recovers his memory, I'll send you back," Shen Feng quickly made a promise at this moment.
Lu Kaiyang saw the City Lord acting like he was coaxing two ignorant children and thought to himself, "If it were in the past, the City Lord might have had the makings of a human trafficker."
The names of these two children were very easy to remember: one was called Bai Cangshan, and the other was called Bai Bitao. Their meanings were also very simple: Cangshan Bishui Ren Xiaoyao, Bu Guan Dongdang Yu Botao (meaning: roam freely amidst green mountains and clear waters, regardless of upheaval and waves).
Shen Feng had people prepare a room to arrange for the two children, and then began the next phase of his plan with Jin Zijue, which was to enable Yue Hengyi to recover his former strength. Even though he had lost his memory, he still possessed extraordinary abilities. Yue Hengyi had been living in the mountains all these years, and his activities were limited to collecting tolls. He certainly had no opportunities for combat, so his extraordinary abilities had never awakened. He probably still thought of himself as just a human with slightly greater strength.
"Next, we will provoke Yue Hengyi into combat. As long as he keeps fighting us, he will be constantly stimulated, and then we will push Xiao Yue into despair. He will definitely unleash his extraordinary abilities at the critical moment of life and death," Shen Feng told Jin Zijue his objective.
Jin Zijue frowned and thought after hearing this, "What if Yue Hengyi never recovers his memory? What should we do then?"
Shen Feng took out a red stone from his person and said, "If even this kind of combat doesn't help him recover his memory, then I'll have to give him an evolution crystal. Perhaps he can heal his brain during the evolution process and thus recover his memory."
Jin Zijue couldn't help but say after hearing Shen Feng's follow-up plan, "I have to fight for you day and night just to get an evolution crystal, but Yue Hengyi hasn't recovered any memory yet, and you're already preparing to give him an evolution crystal. Isn't that too extravagant?"
Shen Feng smiled and said, "There's no other way. Who am I to him if not his sworn elder brother? I also tricked him into eating fish for half a month before. It's time to give him some compensation. Besides, his parents are in Yuzhou. When he recovers his memory, where else can he go? Won't he still come to Yuzhou to work for me?"
It turned out that Shen Feng had already planned that as soon as Yue Hengyi recovered his memory, he would eventually come to Yuzhou to work for him. Having such a powerful extraordinary ability user under his command would definitely be a great thing.
Jin Zijue could only wait for tomorrow's action after hearing Shen Feng's plan. However, calculating the time, Qin Kewei was to be publicly executed in five days. These actions must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise, they might not be able to rescue him in time.
The next day, Shen Feng and Jin Zijue handed the two children over to Lu Kaiyang for care. Lu Kaiyang also acted as a hands-off manager, handing the two children over to the youths under his command, making them responsible for taking care of the children.
Fortunately, these youths had all grown up in the Wind God Palace, and Shen Feng's three children were all mischievous. Therefore, these youths had learned how to coax children from a young age, and taking care of children was not difficult for them now.
Shen Feng and Jin Zijue arrived at the western hillside of Guanyin Mountain Village. This was a gravel beach with many weeds but no trees, making it impossible to hide. Bai Tianci indeed came to the appointment at this time. Behind him were more than a dozen people, all of whom looked fierce and not like good people.
"You two scoundrels, where are my son and daughter? I didn't offend you before, so why did you snatch my children? You know, Shen Feng! Your disciple was rescued by us before, isn't this behavior of yours ungrateful?" Bai Tianci was furious when he saw the two who had kidnapped his children appear, and immediately began to accuse Shen Feng of being ungrateful.
Shen Feng shrugged helplessly and said, "Now that your memory has not recovered and your strength has not awakened, you mistake our good intentions for ill intentions. However, we believe in one thing: that you will definitely be grateful to us when you recover your memory. As for now, you should compete with one of my top generals."
After speaking, Shen Feng nodded to Jin Zijue. Jin Zijue stepped forward and said to Bai Tianci, "If you can defeat me today, you can take your two children away. But if you can't, then don't blame me for being ruthless! You'll never see your children again in this lifetime!"
After saying these words, Jin Zijue beckoned to Bai Tianci with his finger. Bai Tianci felt insulted because the other party's action clearly showed contempt for him. Therefore, Bai Tianci immediately rushed forward, holding a mountain-splitting saber. The blade was very thin, but the back of the blade was very thick.
As Jin Zijue charged forward, the more than ten brothers behind him also rushed forward, seemingly intending to overwhelm and kill the two.
Many people found guns on their bodies and aimed at Jin Zijue and Shen Feng before opening fire. But at this moment, Jin Zijue unleashed his extraordinary ability, and powerful electric currents spread out along the ground. The powerful currents passed through the ground and struck these bandits, causing them to feel numb and twitch uncontrollably, finally falling to the ground.
Bai Tianci was also affected by the electric current at this time. His legs felt weak, and he knelt on the ground. However, his physical fitness was still much stronger than that of ordinary people. After kneeling on the ground, he quickly stood up again and continued to approach Jin Zijue.
"What have you done to my brothers?" Bai Tianci asked with red eyes at this moment.
Bai Tianci didn't know what had happened. The other side hadn't done anything, but his own side had already suffered a mishap. His subordinates had fallen down in an instant. He didn't know if the other side knew some kind of sorcery.
Jin Zijue said calmly, "They are not dead. I have my limits. They are just paralyzed by my electric current. As long as you can defeat me, I can restore them to normal now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Tianci, holding his large saber, rushed forward and slashed at Jin Zijue one after another, wishing he could kill the terrifying fellow in front of him at this moment.
After a heavy saber was swung, it continuously chopped towards Jin Zijue. This attack was very dangerous. The weight of the large saber was already very high, and if it hit a person, it could cut them in half on the spot. However, Jin Zijue kept dodging. Although the killing power of the mountain-splitting saber was very high, as long as he wasn't hit, nothing would happen.
Shen Feng watched from the side. Jin Zijue's attack had also touched him earlier. Fortunately, Shen Feng was already an eighth-tier extraordinary ability user. Although the electric current was very strong, Shen Feng quickly adapted to it. Then, to prevent himself from being accidentally injured again, he flew into the sky to watch the battle from above.
Bai Tianci was startled to see another person flying into the sky. If these two attacked him, he would definitely lose. However, Shen Feng in the sky seemed to have no intention of attacking, so Bai Tianci could only focus on dealing with the fellow in front of him.
Jin Zijue continued to dodge Bai Tianci's attacks while saying, "Your saber is too slow, too slow! Faster!"
Bai Tianci became fierce. He didn't expect the other party's strength to be so powerful that he could dodge his attacks. No one had ever been able to block his attacks before, but now, his attacks were being blocked! He refused to believe that he couldn't defeat an extraordinary ability user!
"You want it faster? Then watch!" Bai Tianci continued to swing his large saber with great force, one strike faster than the next.
Facing the attack of the opponent's large saber, Jin Zijue was still dodging unhurriedly, and continued to say provocative words, "Your saber is so slow, how do you make a living?"
Bai Tianci finally unleashed all his strength, but he was still no match for Jin Zijue. Jin Zijue also began his attack. Small electric arcs appeared in Jin Zijue's hands. These electric arcs crackled in the air, often emitting a burnt smell.
These small electric arcs continuously attacked Bai Tianci, causing Bai Tianci's body to become increasingly numb, severely affecting his movement.
