Chapter 1667: Confession at Night
"Didn't find Xiaoya?!" Susu couldn't help but exclaimed.
But Bai Chen found the key point of the problem and raised his cold eyes: "Mengyao, tell me about the characteristics of the monster."
"Okay!" Lin Mengyao recalled with a serious face: "At that time, sister Junran and I had arrived at the border between Baotu Country and Beichen Country. There was a volcano there. Flying over was Beichen, but just as we were flying, suddenly a monster rushed over from below. That thing looked a bit like a rhinoceros, with fire on its nose, and it was very powerful! We couldn't beat it, but fortunately Junran opened the Shenluo Fengjing, which saved us from danger."
"Later, we practiced in that volcano, because we found that there was very pure energy of heaven and earth there, which could be forcibly absorbed to speed up our practice. And when we sucked out all the energy inside, with our current abilities, the murderer was no longer our opponent." Chu Junran took over and said patiently.
Seeing this, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes: "Energy of heaven and earth that can be forcibly absorbed?"
"Yes, I also find it very strange, and those energies no longer exist after we absorb them. But what's even more weird is that we have also found monsters similar to those magic beasts in the Baotu Empire. Its breath is not as obvious as that of magic beasts, and it is even more secretive than the breath of humans, but when it bursts out with spiritual power, it is definitely very powerful!"
Chu Junran frowned and looked at Bai Chen. She was really curious whether that thing was a magic beast.
After listening to her description, Bai Chen's eyelids sank suddenly.
Isn't this kind of monster the monster he and Han Lingsha saw under the black swamp!
Could it be that Xiaoya's disappearance has something to do with the palace under the black swamp?
"What should I do? I don't know if Xiaoya's current whereabouts are related to those monsters rampant in the Baotu Empire. Where should we look for her?" Lin Mengyao was also panicked.
At this time, Chu Junran raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder: "Don't worry, Bai Chen will definitely find a way!"
I didn't expect that the relationship between the two of them was so good. It seems that the real situation they described was probably not easy.
If they hadn't experienced the real life and death moment together, they would not be like this now.
However, Bai Chen's face was extremely solemn.
"Bai Chen, do you really have a way to find your mentor?" Su Su asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Bai Chen's eyes were dull and he nodded lightly: "There is a mysterious palace under the black swamp, but there are very strong monsters guarding it. With our strength, it is impossible to get in..."
"What should I do?!" Lin Mengyao panicked: "Xiao Ya is my sister. Whether she is Xiao Ya or Ke Xin, she is my most cherished sister!"
Lin Mengyao's words seemed to wake up Bai Chen instantly.
He looked up blankly: "Sister...?"
"Yes, she used to be Ke Xin, but I didn't know her. The one I know is Xiao Ya. Brother Bai, it's your business what kind of feelings you have for her. I won't interfere with any of your decisions, but I must save her now, understand?"
Don't interfere...with any of my decisions?
Meng Yao.
Su Su stared at Bai Chen and said in a deep voice: "If it's in the Black Swamp, I'm afraid I can't do it. It is rumored that a peak Chaos powerhouse died in the Black Swamp. I only have a six-star Chaos Realm, and it's even more impossible to get in."
"What should I do? Should I ask the fifth and second brothers for help! If it's the two of them, there should be no place in the world that can't be broken into!" Su Su insisted.
Bai Chen shook his head: "No, I've been to that place, I know better than you how terrifying it is, let me check first to see if Xiaoya is there, then we can make a decision."
"Confirm?" Su Su was stunned, and after a moment, she slapped her thigh: "Yes, you have the Chaos Ghost Eye, which can see through everything, how could I forget about this! Come on, the Black Swamp is in that direction, see if your teacher is there."
"My Chaos Ghost Eye has not yet awakened, and I can't see that far."
Su Su: "..."
"Su Su, you go and take care of the four academies' joint efforts first, Meng Yao and I can go here, don't worry, we won't easily step into the Black Swamp."
Su Su heard this, although she was extremely anxious, but she could only do so.
"Well, you promise me that you won't mess around. If the master is really there, I will call all the brothers to rescue him!"
"Yes."
Seeing that Bai Chen had already made a plan, Chu Junran frowned: "What about me?"
"You stay here to watch the academy, Mengyao, let's go!"
Bai Chen and Lin Mengyao looked at each other, and without thinking, they flew out of the sky.
...
It has been a day and a night since they flew at high altitude, and neither of them has rested.
What they care about most now is Xiaoya's safety, and other things are far less important than this.
"Brother Bai, you don't have to mind it. I can accommodate Sister Tang, and naturally I can accommodate Xiaoya..." Lin Mengyao turned her head and said seriously.
Hearing this, Bai Chen's mouth curled up with a bitterness: "I have remembered everything about Ke Xin. When I met her, we had a competition as opponents. Her strength was slightly inferior to that of the Vermillion Bird Emperor, but much stronger than the old Xuanwu. After the fight, we became companions."
"What happened later?"
"Later, for some unknown reason, her Flame Sun Holy Source was discovered. The Flame Sun Holy Source is the only physical blood power in the world. It is rumored that eating her flesh can gain power far stronger than the imperial elixir. During that time, in order to protect her, I fought against the major peak forces on the continent. It was this kind of protection that made her become my woman unknowingly.
In fact, now that I think about it, Ke Xin and I were not in true love at all. We didn't understand at that time. She relied on me and I admired her, but we didn't have a crush on each other.
After being reborn as a human in this life, I know what a crush is. I fell in love with you at first sight, and I fell in love with Tang Qin over time. Such feelings are completely different from the protection and companionship with Ke Xin back then."
Bai Chen's words made Lin Mengyao's eyes almost dull.
And in Bai Chen's mind, the scene on a mirror lake tens of thousands of years ago was still echoing.
…
It was a lake as quiet as a mirror. Even if there was wind, there were no ripples on the lake surface. Because Kuang and Ke Xin were lying on the lake surface peacefully, the lake surface was strangely not affected by the wind.
