Looking at Mo Qinghan’s anxious appearance, Fang Yu frowned and asked back, “Didn’t Lin Batian leave with you? Why are you asking me?”
“Ba Tian… Ba Tian just suddenly disappeared! I don’t know where he went…” Mo Qinghan’s beautiful eyes widened, slightly red, with tears shimmering in her eyes, she said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart sank.
He got up and walked to Mo Qinghan’s front, glanced at the sky outside the hall again, and asked, “From the day you left with Lin Batian…to today, how long has it been?”
In order to search for the second seed, Fang Yu stayed in the second layer of the Kunlun Tower for too long, completely unaware of how much time had passed outside.
“About…six days.” Mo Qinghan replied.
“Six days…?” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, then he asked, “When did he disappear?”
“Just the day before yesterday… I was walking with him on the mountainside. We walked for a while and then sat down to chat… Then I suddenly felt drowsy, and after that, I fell asleep… And lost consciousness.” Mo Qinghan bit her lower lip and said, “When I woke up, I found Ba Tian was no longer beside me. I searched the entire Starry Sky where we were, and mobilized my subordinates to look for him, but got no clues…”
” “
“I’ve been in seclusion in the palace these past few days. If he were to come back, he wouldn’t miss me,” Fang Yu said. “He definitely hasn’t returned.”
“Where will the Heavenly King go? Will he be in danger?” Mo Qinghan said anxiously.
“He might be headed for the Death Omen Grounds.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
“But why didn’t he even say goodbye?!” Mo Qinghan said, his voice trembling with emotion. “When he left before, he would always tell me beforehand, he would never just leave like this! And… he was your good friend, he should have at least said hello to you before leaving, but… nothing! When he talked to me before… he never mentioned anything about returning to the Dead Omen Land anytime soon…”
Fang Yu stopped speaking.
Mo Qinghan makes a lot of sense.
If he was leaving normally, why didn’t Lin Batian inform us in advance?
Specifically before leaving, she deliberately used some means to render Mo Qinghan unconscious.
Because a cultivator of Mo Qinghan’s caliber is utterly impossible to suddenly fall asleep due to fatigue.
So… now the question is, where did Lin Batten go?
If we are returning to the Dead Lands, why resort to such underhanded tactics and simply disappear?
Fang Yu and Mo Qinghan both knew that Lin Batian was going back to the Land of Doom. Doing so… seemed pointless.
However, Fang Yu soon remembered what Lin Baitai had said that day.
He told Fang Yu not to enter the Land of Doom again, but he didn’t explain why. His tone was full of helplessness and pain.
To be honest, this time meeting Lin Batian again in the Xu Yuan Realm… compared to the feeling Fang Yu had when he encountered Lin Batian’s will on Earth last time… it was very different.
Today’s Lin Batian, in terms of personality, is not much different from his past self. However, in some details, Fang Yu feels something is off.
For example, some of the magical techniques and supernatural powers displayed when taking action, subtle changes in expression, and evasive language…
Of course, the will seen on Earth…and that of Lin Batong today…are separated by two thousand years.
During this time, Lin Batian ascended to the Big Tianchen Star and then entered the Land of Doom… He experienced too many things.
It’s completely understandable that he has undergone some subtle personality changes.
But… the aura about him, and what he said to Fang Yu, still bothered Fang Yu a lot.
“Can you find Batian? We absolutely have to find him, he must be in trouble…” Mo Qinghan stared at Fang Yu, his eyes bloodshot, and said.
“Firstly, we need to determine if Lin Batian chose to leave this way or was forced to by other powers…” Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed as he replied, “You spent several days with Lin Batian. Did you not notice any abnormalities in his surroundings, or any abnormalities in Lin Batian himself?”
Mo Qinghan closed his eyes, recalling carefully.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and shook her head.
“There were no… abnormalities. During those few days, Batian was always very happy and told me many things from the past. He also mentioned many times about the things he experienced with you…” Mo Qinghan replied.
“What was mentioned?” Fang Yu asked.
He said you were stealing secrets from various sects with him… ” Mo Qinghan continued.
“Alright,” Fang Yu waved his hand and said, “Besides that? Is there anything else that feels particularly special to you?”
“…No.” Mo Qinghan shook his head gently, saying.
Fāngyǔ looked at Mò Qīnghán, his brain racing.
Mo Qinghan couldn’t lie, so that meant… Over the past few days, Lin Batian had acted perfectly normal.
In this case, there is indeed a possibility that an external force took him away.
But, combining Lin Bathian’s previous words to Fang Yu with his deliberate departure from Fang Yu’s side and the sudden disappearance when he was alone with Mo Qinghan…
“If it was his own decision to leave without a word, what was his purpose? Was it to prevent us from entering the Dead Omen Land again? But… I know where the entrance to the Dead Omen Land is, so what’s the use of doing this? I can still enter… Could it be just to avoid me, not see me again?” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, his expression somewhat cold.
At present, there are many possibilities for Lin Baitai’s sudden disappearance.
It’s possible this was his own choice, or there’s a chance he was taken by other forces.
But given Fang Yu’s understanding of Lin Baitian… he was more inclined towards the former.
“If you avoid me this way…then I’m truly disappointed.” Fang Yu shook his head, thinking to himself.
Then, Fang Yu’s eyes became resolute.
Baby remembered the location of the star that marked the exit of the death omen place.
Now, he can instantly return to that place through Bebe and enter the Dead Omen from that hole.
…and after entering the Land of Doom, he could once again have Bebe lead him to find Lin Baitai… as long as Lin Baitai was indeed within the Land of Doom!
“I have to go back to the Land of Death Omen.” Fang Yu said to Mo Qinghan, “Maybe I can find him there.”
“I’ll go with you!” Mo Qinghan said.
Fang Yu glanced at Mo Qinghan, wanting to refuse.
But seeing Mo Qinghan’s red-rimmed eyes and determined gaze… he still didn’t refuse.
“Good.” Fang Yu nodded, then called out Bebe.
“Woof!”
Baby emerged from Fang Yu’s chest and jumped in front of him.
“Baby, take me back to the entrance of the Dead Omen’s path,” Fang Yu said, “You should remember, right?”
Woof!
Baby wagged its tail, its eyes shining brightly.
A circular mark appears before my eyes.
