Chapter: 5830
However, the connection between parents and the secret of longevity, as well as the Nine Heavenly Classics' sequence, was something he had always wanted to explore. He couldn't wait to uncover all the secrets hidden within it.
And 10,000 Mountains could very likely be the source of everything.
So, even if there were risks involved, he would definitely have to investigate further into 10,000 Mountains.
Wu Feiyun had left 10,000 Mountains by car yesterday. When she left, her car disappeared, and there was no record of it speeding away. Therefore, Ye Chen inferred that Wu Feiyun probably hid the car at some point on the highway and then left the highway from that point.
So, Ye Chen's plan is to drive to the section of highway where Wu Feiyun disappeared, and see if he can find any clues left behind by her.
As they approached the section where Wu Feiyun went missing, Ye Chen started to release his spiritual energy and sense the surroundings, especially the valleys under the overpass.
A car weighing two or three tons couldn't just vanish into thin air; the most likely explanation is that it was hidden in the valley below.
After passing through numerous tunnels, Ye Chen suddenly slowed down the vehicle and pulled over onto the emergency lane, pointing to the opposite traffic lane and saying to Lin Wan'er, "Wu Feiyun should have left from there."
Lin Wan'er curiously asked, "Prince, how do you know?"
Ye Chen replied, "Her car is right below us."
Lin Wan'er's eyes widened in surprise and she opened her mouth to ask, "She jumped down from here?"
Ye Chen nodded: "It's likely that she first abandoned the car and then jumped down."
Lin Wan'er quickly asked, "Prince, are you going to jump down too...?"
Ye Chen smiled: "No way. If so, I'll drive out of the next exit, go into town, and wait for you here. You can come down with me."
"No..." Lin Wan'er instinctively grabbed Ye Chen's hand, saying nervously: "I want to be with you..."
Ye Chen's expression turned helpless, and he opened the navigation system on the dashboard, pointing to the location where Lin Wan'er and Wu Feiyan appeared. He said to Lin Wan'er: "Now we only know that Wu Feiyan left from here and then reappeared in the countryside, but we can't confirm her actual destination. If it's relatively close to these two locations, it might be easier to say; if it's far away, her route could be a very long right angle, making the search area extremely large. I'm worried that if you really follow me down, you might not be able to take it."
Lin Wan'er said firmly: "I want to go! Although it might require some extra effort from you, I still want to accompany you..."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and whispered: "I'm afraid that what if Master Meng is still alive, and you suddenly disturb his peaceful cultivation, causing trouble. Even though I've never met him before, I can still use my father's connections to get close to him..."
Ye Chen fell silent for a moment, then asked: "Do you think Meng Zhen is still alive?"
Lin Wan'er nodded: "Originally, I thought it was possible that he might be alive, with some small probability. The possibility of him being alive or gone was roughly 19% to 28%. But now I think the possibility is around 73%, even 82%."
Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise: "Why do you believe he's more likely to still be alive now?"
Lin Wan'er said seriously: "Because I've watched all the security footage at the airport. I saw Wu Feiyan arrive, go through customs and immigration, then wait for her flight and board it. The Wu Feiyan on the screen looked nervous and scared, showing that she must have been very afraid in her heart. In my understanding, there's only one person who could make Wu Feiyan so frightened - Master Meng."
Ye Chen furrowed his brow: "Wu Feiyan may have left hastily, but at least she got out whole. If Master Meng is still alive and Wu Feiyan came to look for him, how could he let her leave unscathed?"
As Ye Chen spoke again: "Furthermore, no matter whether it's from here or from the descendants of Master Meng's earliest disciple, we can verify his biography. He was born in 664 CE and passed away in 1663, exactly one thousand years old."
"If he's still alive now, wouldn't that mean he found a method to break through one thousand years of life three hundred years ago?" JrNovels.com
