?29: 029: The Power of the Trapping Array 29: 029: The Power of the Trapping Array Tang Feng rushed to the bank with burning anxiety, only to find out that large withdrawals required a reservation and the bank personnel simply wouldn’t allow him to withdraw the money, infuriating him to the point of wanting to curse someone out.

    However, given his cultivation, he was able to restrain himself, for some principles still needed to be abided by.

    At the highway entrance, Tang Feng arrived more than two hours early.

    He looked around and then set up a simple trapping array, which was enough to deal with ordinary people.

    Dare to touch Aunt Lan, I really want to see who you people are.

    On the other side, Murong Qinglan hadn’t anticipated that her own sister would betray her.

    “Qing Lan, don’t blame me, you wouldn’t help me, so I had to turn to your nephew,” she said, not expecting that Murong Qinglan’s phone would have only a few people’s numbers, and the only man’s was Tang Feng’s.

    She didn’t even have her own family’s numbers; after not seeing her for a few years, Murong Qinglan was still the same.

    “Xu Xiao, you’ll get what’s coming to you.” Murong Qinglan truly regretted it—what was supposed to be thousand-year-old medicinal herbs turned out to be a scam upon arrival.

    Although this was not the first time something like this had happened, being betrayed by a trusted friend was unbearable.

    Heartbroken and furious, yet powerless to do anything.

    “Baldy, the time is almost up; go by yourself.

    I’ll release her only after you get the money,” Xu Xiao said to the burly man beside her.

    Baldy looked at Murong Qinglan with a ferocious gaze that instilled fear.

    “Baldy, I’m telling you, don’t get any ideas about her, or I’ll kill you.” Xu Xiao still had a shred of humanity.

    “Axiao, you’re overthinking it, you’re the one I love the most,” Baldy said with a flattering smile.

    “Get lost, I know what you’re thinking too well.

    You better understand that when Xu Xiao does something, she always follows through.”

    “Fine, I’ll listen to you,” Baldy replied and turned to leave, the scorn in his eyes unseen by Xu Xiao.

    “Qing Lan, I really had no other choice.

    Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?”

    “Save your phony kindness.” Murong Qinglan had regained some strength but was still trapped and couldn’t think of a way out for the moment.

    “Don’t bother wasting your energy.

    I know you’re skilled in martial arts, so I added a bit of poison to the water you drank; you won’t be able to recover your strength today,” Xu Xiao said, always one step ahead, knowing Murong Qinglan too well.

    Murong Qinglan swept a cold glance at Xu Xiao, “Xiao Feng doesn’t have money, something you are well aware of, so why bother?”

    “You’re wrong there.

    I think he’ll find a way,” Xu Xiao said with a smile.

    “Keep dreaming.”

    “Don’t worry, if he can’t save you, he will surely turn to the Murong Family.

    I’m not afraid to tell you, this is exactly what I’m counting on,” Xu Xiao said.

    “The Murong Family won’t fork out that much money either.” Murong Qinglan laughed.

    “That’s not certain.” Xu Xiao was confident and not hurried in the slightest.

    “Xu Xiao, there is a way back to the right path.

    I don’t think Baldy is a good man, be careful he doesn’t use you,” Murong Qinglan cautioned.

    “Who’s using whom is not yet certain,” Xu Xiao said nonchalantly.

    “Aren’t you afraid he’ll take the money and run?”

    “Run?

    Can he escape?” A snap of her fingers, and several men in black appeared beside Xu Xiao.

    “If Baldy makes any Intention Movement, kill him.”

    “Yes, Miss.”

    The men in black quickly departed, leaving Murong Qinglan surprised at the extent of Xu Xiao’s transformation over the few years they hadn’t seen each other.

    “You must be curious, right?

    But I can’t tell you, or I’d be dead,” Xu Xiao said as she walked out of the room, locking the door behind her.

    “Xiao Feng, please don’t do anything reckless.” The thought of Tang Feng caused a surge of pain in her heart; Murong Qinglan had raised Tang Feng with difficulty and would rather be in trouble herself than have him get hurt.

    She hated herself for being too nai?ve.

    If she got a chance to escape, she would definitely avenge the day’s grievance.

    Meanwhile, Tang Feng was agitated; if his cultivation had reached the Gathering Spirit Stage, he wouldn’t be groping in the dark like he was now.

    The long-awaited phone call finally came.

    “I’m already here.”

    “Very well, is the money all prepared?” The other party went straight to the point.

    “Of course, what about the person?

    Did you bring them as well?”

    “That’s only natural.

    You wait at the intersection, I’ll arrive in ten minutes.” The other end hung up the call, but Tang Feng’s heart had begun to twist.

    There were many such incidents in the world where the money was taken, but the person was not brought back.

    Tang Feng could not help but be apprehensive.

    After this time, he had to protect Aunt Lan, teach her Cultivating Immortality, make her powerful, and grant her eternal youth.

    Ten minutes for someone in the midst of Cultivation would have been nothing in the past, but at this moment, it was immensely agonizing; the tension in his heart was like that of his first Tribulation.

    Finally, the car arrived, but Aunt Lan was not there, and Tang Feng lost his composure.

    The people in the car seemed to have known Tang Feng beforehand.

    The car stopped to one side, and three sturdy men got out.

    “Where’s the stuff?” Seeing Tang Feng’s empty hands, Baldy’s face darkened.

    “Where’s the person?” Tang Feng retreated down the roadside slope, drawing the three men towards him.

    “Kid, you’re tricking us.” Baldy reached out to grab Tang Feng, thinking of him as just a young fellow whom he could easily crush.

    He intended to give Tang Feng a scare.

    But then, a miraculous thing happened.

    Tang Feng, who was right in front of their eyes, somehow just couldn’t be reached.

    It was uncanny!

    “What are you two dummies doing?

    Get him!” Baldy shouted to the two behind him.

    “Boss, we do want to rush him, but we simply can’t get through, and we can’t even retreat,” said one of the men, his facial expression quite amusing after discovering the oddity.

    “How is that possible!” He tried himself, and indeed, he couldn’t move left, right, forward, or backward.

    “No need to try anymore.

    None of the three of you can escape.

    Tell me where Aunt Lan is, and I might let you go,” Tang Feng said.

    “Kid, do you really think that’s possible?” Baldy continued to struggle.

    “No matter, if you don’t talk, you can just stay here indefinitely,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

    “Fine, I really want to see what trick you’re playing.

    Anyway, it’s you who’s in a hurry.

    If we don’t return in half an hour, that woman is definitely dead.”

    Tang Feng was too experienced for this.

    He could tell from Baldy’s face and eyes that he was lying, and Tang Feng laughed heartily.

    “No need to talk anymore.

    I know Aunt Lan is fine.

    Baldy, try to enjoy your time here.” Saying this, he took a cellphone from his body and then dialed a number.

    “Hello, is the job done?” a woman’s voice asked.

    “It’s done.”

    “Then hurry back.” Something was not right; this voice didn’t sound like Baldy’s.

    “Who are you?”

    “What do you think, Aunt Xu?”

    Xu Xiao was stunned.

    How could it be possible?

    How could Tang Feng recognize her voice?

    She hurriedly hung up the phone, her heart strangely filled with fear.

    No, how could a weak young man take down Baldy and the others?

    What had happened here?

    “Miss, something very strange has happened.

    Baldy and the others are trapped, and that kid must have used some method.

    If this continues, it will attract the attention of passersby,” reported the men in black Xu Xiao had sent.

    Hearing this, Xu Xiao’s heart grew even more frantic.

    No, she had to find out what was going on.

    She went to the room and untied Murong Qinglan, “You’ve raised a good nephew.”

    “What do you mean?” Murong Qinglan was bewildered.

    “Baldy and the others have been subdued, and we won’t be able to get the money back.

    Plus, he’s already aware of my identity.

    Ah, I underestimated the kid; the whole endeavor has collapsed.” Xu Xiao gave her good sister a deep look, then turned and left, driving away.

    Murong Qinglan felt like she was in a dream.

    What exactly had Xiao Feng done?
