Shen Yan and Yang Jin looked at each other tacitly, and then Shen Yan rushed towards the military general-level strong man without hesitation.

"Ding!" The crisp sound of metal collision resounded through the air, and the long sword in Yang Jin's hand collided fiercely with the sword of another martial artist. "Your opponent is me!" Yang Jin stared at the other party, not giving in.

Shen Yan fought against the general-level man in black, and every sword strike was full of violent power. Under the urging of the Flame Art, his sword skills became more sharp, as if he could ignite the air. Although the man in black was brave, he gradually became powerless under Shen Yan's attack.

On the other side, Yang Jin's fight with the martial artist was also extremely fierce. The two had their own strengths in swordsmanship, and every confrontation was dazzling. Although Yang Jin was still young, his swordsmanship was extremely sophisticated and not inferior to the other party at all.

After a fierce battle, Shen Yan finally found the flaw and pierced the chest of the warrior-level strongman with a sword. The man in black had a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but he was powerless and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Yang Jin also successfully defeated his opponent. He put away his sword, walked to Shen Yan, and the two smiled at each other.

"Let's go." Shen Yan said, taking Yang Jin's hand and walking in the direction they came from.

Three days later, they finally returned to Rongcheng.

"Young Master." The guard at the entrance of the mansion looked at the two of them and saluted respectfully. Shen Yan nodded slightly and walked into the mansion with Yang Jin.

The secret guard who was originally guarding Murong Xiao was now kneeling at Shen Yan's feet waiting to be punished.

"Master, Mr. Murong has been taken away." The secret guard lowered his head, his voice low and trembling, as if he was afraid of something.

Shen Yan frowned slightly, and his eyes swept across the secret guards kneeling on the ground like a knife, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The secret guard trembled, not daring to hide anything, and told the whole story in detail.

It turned out that Murong Xiao was attacked by unidentified men in black shortly after Shen Yan and Yang Jin left. Although they and the guards around Murong Xiao fought desperately, they were no match for the men in black and were knocked down one by one, and even several brothers were killed or injured.

Murong Xiao was also taken away by them.

After listening to the secret guard's narration, a hint of anger flashed in Shen Yan and Yang Jin's eyes.

"Master, I'm sorry. We failed to protect the gentleman." The secret guard lowered his head in self-blame, waiting for Shen Yan's punishment.

Shen Yan was silent for a moment and took a deep breath. "It's not your fault this time. I was negligent. You should go down and heal your wounds first."

The secret guard looked at Shen Yan with gratitude and retreated.

Shen Yan turned and looked at Yang Jin, "It seems that the people who attacked us and kidnapped my uncle are probably the same group of people..."

"Then my little dad should be in danger now." Yang Jin's eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

Shen Yan looked at Yang Jin's anxious expression and felt distressed. He gently held Yang Jin's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will rescue my uncle no matter what."

Yang Jin looked into Shen Yan's eyes, and the panic in his heart gradually subsided. He knew that with Shen Yan by his side, no matter what difficulties they encountered, they could face them together.

In the following days, Shen Yan sent all his secret guards out to search for Murong Xiao's whereabouts.

"Young Master, yesterday our brothers from Weicheng reported that they found traces of Master Murong in a remote inn." The secret guard knelt in front of Shen Yan and spoke in a low voice.

A gleam of light flashed in Shen Yan's eyes. He tightly grasped the teacup in his hand, as if he wanted to crush it. "Go on."

"Master Murong once stayed in that inn, but it was heavily guarded. Our brothers couldn't get close and could only observe from afar." The secret guard lowered his head, not daring to look Shen Yan in the eye.

Shen Yan took a deep breath and stood up. "Okay, I understand. You can go down and have a rest."

After the secret guard left, Yang Jin turned to look at Shen Yan, "Brother Shen, since you know that my little dad is in Weicheng, let's set off immediately, okay?"

Shen Yan nodded, a firm look flashed in his eyes, "Okay, we will set off immediately. No matter what, we must bring uncle back safely."

The two quickly packed up, took the necessary weapons and medicines, and left Rongcheng. After a day of traveling, they finally arrived at the Acropolis.

Although Weicheng is not as prosperous as Rongcheng, it is also a city with a large population and prosperous commerce. After entering the city, Shen Yan and Yang Jin immediately went to the remote inn.

The inn looked ordinary, but Shen Yan could sense the undercurrents surging around it. They found a secluded spot to sit down and began to observe the surroundings.

As night fell, Shen Yan and Yang Jin decided to take action. They avoided the guards of the inn and sneaked into the backyard. After a search, they finally found Murong Xiao in a remote room.

Murong Xiao sat in the house, looking haggard.

When he saw Shen Yan and Yang Jin, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he soon became worried.

"Jin'er, you shouldn't come here. Just go away." Murong Xiao's voice was low and weak.

Yang Jin held Murong Xiao's hand tightly, "Little Dad, don't worry, we will get you out safely."

Shen Yan also stood aside and said, "Yes, uncle, let's go first and talk about it after we leave here."

Murong Xiao showed a complicated look on her face, but she just looked at Yang Jin and then nodded.

However, just as they were about to leave, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the house.

Then the door opened.

"Ah Xiao, I bought the chestnut cakes." A tall man walked out of the door. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a very handsome face. He was holding a bag of cakes in his hand.

But when he saw the scene in the house, his smiling face immediately turned gloomy.

Murong Xiao's face turned pale in an instant, and Shen Yan and Yang Jin immediately stood up vigilantly.

"Axiao, who are they?" the man asked in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping over Shen Yan and Yang Jin with a hint of sharpness.

Murong Xiao struggled to stand up and stood in front of Shen Yan and Yang Jin, "These are my friends, don't hurt them..."

The man frowned, his eyes became even darker, "Friend?"

Shen Yan sneered, "Uncle, don't worry, we will take you away."

After saying that, he winked at Yang Jin, signaling him to protect Murong Xiao.

Yang Jin nodded, holding the sword in one hand and holding Murong Xiao's hand in the other.

The man looked at the two people holding hands, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Leave? You want to take him away? Let's see if you can leave alive?!"

Shen Yan looked at him coldly, "Then let's give it a try? Now that we are here, we must take him away."

The man laughed loudly, "What a joke! You two want to take Xiao away? Don't you think you have the ability to do it?"
