I Have A Martial Arts Panel - Chapter 266

Chapter 266 The Potential Danger On The Island

‘I’m in trouble!’

Xu Ning was shocked when he saw the old woman appear in front of him.

This old woman was Princess Mo Lan’s subordinate. Strictly speaking, she was his enemy.

Xu Ning clenched a crystal in his hand. This crystal was a tool used to request for help. If it was activated after encountering danger, Dong Ji would come and rescue him. Only Duan Chaofeng’s trusted subordinates were worthy of having this crystal.

Bang!

Just when Xu Ning was about to activate it, the old woman flicked her finger and a sharp aura shot into Xu Ning’s palm.

A bloody hole burst open in Xu Ning’s palm.

And the crystal in his hand was shattered.

“Senior, how have I offended you?”

Xu Ning calmed down and ignored his injuries.

He had no strength to fight back against this old woman, so he could only try his best to stay calm.

“You are a subordinate of the Harmony Prince?”

The old woman examined Xu Ning.

“Yes.”

Xu Ning was quite calm. The old woman nodded and walked closer to Xu Ning.

‘Dao realm fourth stage, core materialization realm, but his foundation is very strong…’

The old woman looked at Xu Ning. ‘Moreover, his vitality is extremely vigorous. It is obvious that he is not old. In fact, his current appearance is a display of his true age.’ The old woman had figured out Xu Ning’s foundation in just this short exchange.

“Good aptitude, come with me to seek refuge with Princess Mo Lan.”

The old woman saw through Xu Ning’s potential and was about to grab Xu Ning’s collar and drag him away.

Xu Ning dodged subconsciously.

However, Xu Ning did not dodge the old woman’s hands.

“Working under Princess Mo Lan may not be worse than working under the Harmony Prince.”

The old woman smiled and was about to fly into the air.

“Xue Jinghua! How dare you steal the people of our Harmony King Mansion, aren’t you afraid that we will pursue this matter?”

Just when Xu Ning was about to be taken away by the old woman, a loud voice came from the distance.

Afterwards, Dong Ji appeared in the scene.

‘Senior Dong Ji!’

Xu Ning was relieved to see Dong Ji.

‘I couldn’t activate the crystal, so why is Senior Dong Ji here?’

Xu Ning was puzzled, but now that Dong Ji was here, his safety should be guaranteed.

Sure enough, after seeing Dong Ji arrive, Xue Jinghua’s face froze.

“Dong Ji!”

Xue Jinghua looked at Dong Ji with fear in her eyes.

She knew very well that Dong Ji’s strength was at the peak of the seventh stage of the dao realm, and his status in the Harmony King Mansion was also very high.

She didn’t have much of a chance against Dong

“What, I’m already here, and you still plan to kidnap the people from the Harmony King Mansion?”

Dong Ji sneered.

Xue Jinghua narrowed her eyes and put Xu Ning down. Xu Ning immediately walked behind Dong Ji.

“Good.”

Dong Ji glanced at Xu Ning and noticed that he only had superficial injuries.

Xue Jinghua was a little embarrassed, but she didn’t care.

Dong Ji was not here just now, so it was fine if she abducted Xu Ning.

But if Dong Ji was here and she abducted Xu Ning in front of him, it would be a slap to the face of the Harmony King Mansion, and at that point, the nature of her behavior would change.

“Next time, look after your people.”

Xue Jinghua glanced at Dong Ji coldly before flying away with her sword. “Thank you, Senior Dong Ji!” After Xue Jinghua left, Xu Ning cupped his fists and thanked Dong Ji.

If Dong Ji hadn’t appeared just now and he was brought to Mo Lan, he didn’t know what kind of situation he would be in.

Dong Ji smiled and shook his head gently.

As a trusted subordinate of the Harmony King and as a senior, Dong Ji admired Xu Ning.

“How did you end up in her hands?” Dong Ji asked.

Xu Ning explained what had happened.

“I see…”

Dong Ji understood.

“Senior Dong Ji, I didn’t activate the crystal, so how did you find me?”

Xu Ning had doubts so he asked.

Dong Ji said, “His Highness asked me to find you.” “Why?”

Xu Ning asked.

When they were on other islands, it was normal for individuals or teams to search for the Night Beast and stay outside for a few days before returning to the camp to report what they found.

It had only been less than two days, so why would the prince take the initiative to find someone outside? “Over the past two days, several teams have disappeared from our hands while searching for the Night Beast.” Dong Ji’s face was a little solemn. “Even Zhuo Weisong is gone.” “This was found out by Zhang He when he noticed that something was wrong.”

Dong Ji said, “While searching for the Night Beast, he passed by other teams. But when he wanted to backtrack and exchange information with them, Zhang He found out that the other team was gone.”

“After some investigation, he couldn’t find where the missing people went, so he returned to the camp and reported this matter. Afterwards, His Highness began to recall his people. After asking each other, we also discovered that Zhuo Weisong was missing.” “Because of this, His Highness was worried about your safety, so he asked me to come and find you. I just didn’t expect you to go so far.” “That really happened?”

The corner of Xu Ning’s eyes twitched. “Did Princess Mo Lan make her move?”

“No.”

Dong Ji responded, “According to our sources, people have also disappeared from Princess Mo Lan’s side. Xue Jinghua was out here probably because she wanted to call back the members that were out and about.”

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning was alert.

“There should be a hidden danger on this island…”

Dong Ji’s eyes narrowed.

“Come, let’s go back to the camp first.”

Dong Ji grabbed Xu Ning and flew back to the camp.

He had to protect Duan Chaofeng during this trip. If he hadn’t come to find Xu Ning, he wouldn’t have left Duan Chaofeng’s side at all.

Dong Ji, who was in the seventh stage of the dao realm, flew extremely fast in the air, not much slower than flying demon beasts of the same realm.

“Your Highness, I brought him back.”

Soon after, Dong Ji brought Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng.

Duan Chaofeng was relieved, but after seeing Xu Ning’s injuries, he raised his eyebrows. “You are injured?”

Dong Ji explained Xu Ning’s experience.

“Mo Lan’s people are already this arrogant…” Duan Chaofeng’s expression was a little ugly.

However, he also knew that this was not the time to seek justice. He still had other important matters to deal with. “Your Highness.”

Zhang He also came back from his excursion.

“Except for a few people who are searching for traces of the missing teams, everyone else has been summoned back.”

Zhang He reported to Duan Chaofeng. “How many people have we lost on this island?”

Duan Chaofeng asked.

“A total of thirty-seven people from the mansion, including Zhuo Weisong, have disappeared. A total of ten of the Master Tamers have disappeared.”

Zhang He responded.

Duan Chaofeng’s expression was serious.

This loss was not small.

If Zhuo Weisong was missing and couldn’t be found before the return trip, it would be difficult to explain to his father, Zhuo Cengyun.

Like Dong Ji, Zhuo Cengyun was one of the people that the Harmony King trusted the most.

Although Zhuo Cengyun would definitely not dare to take his anger out on him, this matter would definitely not pass by easily.

In addition to that, ten Master Tamers were missing

The Master Tamers recruited this time were not only the top tamers of State Guqing, but also people from the nearby states.

There were less than fifty of them in total, and less than two days after arriving on the island, more than a quarter of them had disappeared.

“Your Highness, this must have been done by some creatures on the island… maybe even by the Night Beast…”

At this moment, Dong Ji said.

“Oh?”

Duan Chaofeng looked at Dong Ji.

“According to our previous understanding, the disappearance of these teams did not leave any traces. This means that the mastermind behind this is either extremely powerful and can kill all the missing teams in one blow without making a sound, preventing them from asking for help…” “Either that… or their methods are extremely special, being able to annihilate or take them away on the spot…” Dong Ji responded, “And the ability of the Night Beast coincides with the second possibility…”

“Moreover, the Night Beast is said to be an expert in weaving the night.” Dong Ji said, “Its ability is to make human masters or other demon beasts sink into the endless night imperceptibly…” “Hsss…”

Duan Chaofeng took a deep breath. “You mean, the Night Beast has appeared?”

“Very likely.”

Dong Ji looked confident.

Hearing this, Duan Chaofeng’s expression changed slightly.

“If this is the case, then this Night Beast is very strong…”

Zhang He frowned. “Your Highness, your safety…”

“With Senior Dong here, I don’t have to worry about my safety.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “If I encounter any danger, I can hide in Senior Dong’s spatial secret treasure. With him here, it won’t be a major problem.”

“But the Night Beast is really terrifying…”

Zhang He was still a little worried.

“It’s true that the Night Beast has special abilities, but it is only in the mid level of the dao realm.”

Dong Ji said, “I am a high level dao realm seventh stage master. It has no chance of winning against me… Otherwise, it would not just attack those lone teams, but our camp directly.”

Dong Ji’s words directly assumed that the culprit was the Night Beast. Dong Ji’s words made Zhang He and the others feel slightly relieved.

As long as Dong Ji was here, everyone’s safety would be guaranteed.

“In this case, let’s all guard the camp first.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “Let’s wait for our men to come back and give us some clues before we act…”

After confirming that the Night Beast had likely appeared, Duan Chaofeng was both cautious and expectant. The goal of this trip might be right in front of him.

Just when Duan Chaofeng was about to disperse the crowd, a guard rushed in.

“Your Highness!”

The guard reported anxiously, “There is news from the front that they have discovered the belongings of a missing person!”

“What?”

The expressions of the people present changed.

‘Are they truly this efficient…’

Xu Ning was a little confused.

Those people had clearly just disappeared and there were no clues at the scene, so how did he find their belongings?
