Chapter: 5831

"If so, his abilities would have already become extraordinary, unmatched by anyone. Wu Feiyan is far from him, yet she was able to gather such a massive organization, how could he willingly hide himself in the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

Lin Wan'er's face revealed concern as she said: "I don't understand these things, there are many mysteries that I can't figure out, so I'm worried."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er thought of something and looked at Ye Chen, saying nervously: "Think about Pu Tea Mother. Three hundred years ago, I saw her fail to overcome the tribulations by the Heavenly Pond, and for three hundred years, I've been convinced that she's already dispersed like smoke. Who could have thought that she was able to leave behind a glimmer of life and then find a chance to be reborn after three hundred years?"

Ye Chen's face sank in shock as he asked: "Do you mean Master Meng might also be searching for such an opportunity?"

Lin Wan'er spoke solemnly: "I dare not confirm, but I think that if Pu Tea Mother could do it, perhaps Teacher Meng can too. You mustn't underestimate humans' desire to survive. The older one gets, the stronger their desire to survive becomes. A person who has lived for one thousand years would have a survival instinct that ordinary people couldn't imagine, and they might make any effort to stay alive..."

Lin Wan'er's words made Ye Chen start thinking seriously about whether Master Meng is really still alive. This question seems absurd at first.

There is no record in the Nine Heavens Classics about someone living beyond one thousand years, so this has already touched his knowledge blind spot.

In fact, even the Nine Heavens Classics don't have any records about the Eternal Youth Elixir.

Lin Wan'er's perspective falls within Ye Chen's knowledge blind spot, let alone Meng Changsheng.

Although there's no direct evidence to prove Meng Changsheng's current state of life and death, Ye Chen wouldn't dare take it lightly; he needs to be cautious and not rash.

So he said to Lin Wan'er, "I agree with your perspective, but since we're already here, there's no reason to retreat. Why don't we follow your suggestion and go together?"

Lin Wan'er knew that Ye Chen would never give up easily, so she was willing to take the initiative; her nodding was a significant concession.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and sighed softly, saying, "If we're going together, it's not too realistic. Let's turn back and head towards the opposite direction of Wu Feiyun's hometown."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded obediently, saying, "As long as you're willing to bring me along, I'll follow your arrangements."

The two reached an agreement, and Ye Chen didn't hesitate anymore. He turned around at the next exit and headed back, passing through the location where Wu Feiyun had jumped down earlier.

They continued moving forward for dozens of kilometers before finally arriving at the entrance of the high-speed road where Wu Feiyun left from.

The map shows that this town has only one mountain path leading to the outside world besides the high-speed road. The end of the mountain path is located under the foot of a mountain called Front Mountain, which starts by going through the town and connecting with the main road before extending to the highway entrance.

If we don't take this route, we can continue moving forward and reach a national highway that crosses Guilin.

Wu Feiyun appeared at a location that starts from the foot of Front Mountain and goes all the way to the town center.

So, Ye Chen drove his car to Wu Feiyun's appearance spot and decided to walk into the mountain from here, heading in the direction where Wu Feiyun abandoned her vehicle, hoping to find any clues left behind by Wu Feiyun.

After all, Wu Feiyun was in a hurry when she left, so Ye Chen guesses that she probably didn't have time to process her own trail.

The two got out of the car and Ye Chen brought along his hiking gear. With Lin Wan'er by his side, they set off towards the mountain.

After leaving the town road, it's not immediately a rugged original forest. The roadsides are mostly farmland terraces developed by local farmers, so there's also a small path suitable for people and animals to walk on or for motorbikes to ride on.

The direction of this small path coincides with Ye Chen's planned search route, so the two of them walked along it one after another, advancing deeper into the mountains.

They climbed over a nearly completely covered hill by terraces, continued moving forward, and as they went further, human traces also became less frequent. The terraces although occasionally had a few remaining blocks because the distance from the town is quite far, making this area uninhabited. JrNovels.com
