#572 - Chapter 572 Where Did They Go?

Lianyun Continent, the sun slowly rose, painting half the sky red.

Lin Yaoyao woke up with a yawn, her brain feeling temporarily oxygen-deprived.

Crimson curtains, maroon bedding, and tea-red furniture of various kinds.

In front of the bed, two red candles, half-burnt, were still lit.

"What's going on? Where am I?"

Lin Yaoyao was filled with question marks.

"How did I end up here? Wasn't I eating with Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing? How did I suddenly appear in such an unfamiliar room?"

Lin Yaoyao was a little confused.

"Xiao Bai? Qingqing? Where did you go?"

As soon as she spoke, a pale white hand stretched out from under the bed, followed by another.

"Xiao Bai? You dare to scare me? Come out now, I'll beat you to death!"

There was no movement for a long while.

Lin Yaoyao grew impatient, directly grabbed the two small hands, and pulled hard.

She was immediately shocked and released them.

"No, these aren't Xiao Bai's hands. Xiao Bai's hands aren't this cold. Who exactly are you?"

Lin Yaoyao asked with certainty.

For a long time, there was still no sound.

Under Lin Yaoyao's dimensional crushing, the carved bed was vulnerable and shattered into powder.

The carved bed shattered, revealing a pale-faced Xiao Bai inside, who was a bit too pale.

"You really aren't Xiao Bai, who are you? And where did Xiao Bai go?" Lin Yaoyao asked three soul-searching questions in a row.

Upon hearing this, the person only chuckled coldly, staring at Lin Yaoyao with eyes that had no whites.

Lin Yaoyao got angry and directly struck out with a sword.

She actually peeled off the person's skin.

It turned out that inside was a corpse that had been dead for who knows how long, the surface highly decomposed.

Looking closer, she could even see a piece of paper stuffed in the corpse's mouth.

Lin Yaoyao, full of suspicion, took down the piece of paper.

It was an ordinary piece of straw paper, but it had a lingering stench.

Lin Yaoyao unfolded the letter and saw that the paper was blank.

She roasted the paper over the fire, and a line of words immediately appeared on it.

"Your junior brother and junior sister are in my hands. If you don't want them to die, obey me."

"What's the situation? Who are you? Don't think you can fool me with a broken piece of paper."

"I'm telling you, I'm not someone you can fool," Lin Yaoyao scolded after reading the paper.

As soon as Lin Yaoyao finished speaking, she heard the corpse's mouth opening and closing, actually uttering a string of words.

"Who I am is not important, what's important is that if you don't do as I say."

"Your junior brother and junior sister will be dead."

"If you don't believe me, listen!"

As soon as the corpse finished speaking, a memory stone rolled to Lin Yaoyao's feet with a "gulu" sound.

Before Lin Yaoyao could pick up the memory stone, the memory stone automatically popped up a picture, and there was sound.

The first thing that appeared on the memory stone was Xiao Bai's chubby face, which still had a bit of baby fat.

"What do you want to do? Let us go, or we'll make you regret it." It was Xiao Bai's voice.

"Hehe, none of those who fall into my hands can leave properly," a person whose gender and age could not be clearly distinguished said in a hoarse voice.

"What do you want to do?" There was a hint of vigilance in Xiao Bai's voice, and a hint of nervousness on his face.

"You don't need to know this. I'll let you experience it later," that person still didn't show his face, and said in a hoarse voice.

The memory stone then showed Xiao Qing's charming face. Xiao Qing seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, her pupils suddenly widened, and she let out an extremely intense scream.

The picture on the memory stone cut off from here.

Lin Yaoyao carefully recalled the previous scenes on the memory stone, without saying a word.

The other party didn't seem to be in a hurry either, quietly waiting.

After a long time, Lin Yaoyao said, "How can I believe what you said?"

The other party smiled and said, "That depends on you. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. You're the ones who are in a hurry. It doesn't matter to me."

"Alright, you can slowly consider it yourself. I'm going back."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Lin Yaoyao quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

"Where did you hide my junior brother and junior sister? You should know that we are people from the Star River Sect, and our Star River Sect is not to be trifled with."

Lin Yaoyao knew that bringing up her master was useless, so she directly brought up the Star River Sect.

"Star River Sect, what is that? What can the entire Immortal Realm do to me?!"

The other party was very arrogant, and directly cut off the connection after saying this sentence.

In an instant, the room returned to silence.

It was as if nothing had happened, and everything was just an illusion.

Lin Yaoyao patted her cheeks, forced herself to calm down, and then thought.

This is likely a trap, and she is likely overthinking it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoyao tidied up the clothes on her body, and directly pushed the door open and went out.

Elegant pavilion, green stones, green bamboo...

Sure enough, it was still the place where she had eaten with Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing yesterday.

But didn't they eat together yesterday, and then each asked for a room to rest?

How did she end up in this room with the carved bed in the end? She didn't even know.

Oh, right, there were also the waiter and the shopkeeper. She could directly ask them if she didn't know anything.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoyao went directly downstairs, preparing to call the waiter and them to ask.

But when she walked out of the room, went downstairs, and turned around in the huge space, she didn't find a single person.

"That's strange, where are they?"

Only at this time did Lin Yaoyao realize the seriousness of the matter.

It seemed that things were not simple.

In an empty room, Mu Qianqian finally struggled out of the endless nightmare.

Just now, she had countless dreams, and all the people in the dreams were stained with blood.

There were Lin Yaoyao, Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, and even herself.

She dreamed that they were all seriously injured, and there were people chasing them behind them.

But she couldn't see the faces of the people chasing them. Every time she wanted to see them clearly, the dream would jump, directly jumping into the next scene.

The next scene was still the same situation.

It was like this, repeating and recurring.

Mu Qianqian tried to break free several times, but was powerless.

At the last moment of the picture, she vaguely saw her master. Her master looked at them, one by one, covered in blood, covering her face and crying.

When this scene appeared, Mu Qianqian was finally able to break free from the nightmare.

Then she found that her hands and feet were tied up, and she couldn't speak. There was also a large net on her head.

And Ji Changsheng, Ye Hongxue, and Ye Qingjun were also not far away, sleeping soundly and not waking up.

Mu Qianqian understood that they had been used by some means, so they were so drowsy and couldn't wake up.

She tried to stretch her legs and wake up Ye Hongxue and Ye Qingjun, but finally gave up hope.

The house was very empty, and for a time, only the sound of heartbeats and breathing remained.
