Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Chapter 117 Another Incident

Chu Mengmeng looked at the beautiful handwriting on the paper crane, and was filled with doubts. Luoxia Valley was remote and sparsely populated. Who would choose to leave a message there? "Want to protect the seal..." Chu Mengmeng read the contents of the letter in a low voice, and suddenly a strong premonition surged in her heart. Perhaps this letter was related to the secret of the seal.

She immediately stood up and took the letter to find Xiao Yichen. After listening to her story, Xiao Yichen frowned slightly. "Luoxia Valley? It seems we have to go there."

As night fell, the moonlight poured down like water, covering the earth with a layer of silver gauze. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen followed the instructions in the letter and came to Luoxia Valley. The valley was quiet and silent, with only the occasional cry of a few night owls, adding a bit of mystery.

They followed the path through the deep valley and finally stopped in front of a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was blocked by dense vines, and if you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that there was a hidden world here.

"It seems that this is the place mentioned in the letter." Xiao Yichen pushed aside the vines and walked into the cave first. Chu Mengmeng followed closely behind, her heart full of anticipation and trepidation.

The cave was surprisingly spacious and dry. A bonfire crackled cheerfully in the center, casting a warm glow on the cave walls. An old man with a long white beard sat cross-legged beside the bonfire, his eyes closed, as if in deep meditation.

Hearing the footsteps, the old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling. "You are here." His voice was low and hoarse, as if carrying the vicissitudes of life.

"You are..." Chu Mengmeng asked hesitantly, vaguely guessing the other party's identity in her heart.

"I am a descendant of the one who guards the seal." The old man spoke slowly, with a hint of pride and helplessness in his tone, "Generation after generation has guarded the secret of the seal, waiting for the arrival of the destined person."

He pointed to a bluestone slab beside him and motioned for them to sit down. "I asked a spiritual paper crane to deliver this letter. The seal is about to loosen, and the continent is in danger. I need your help."

The old man took out an old parchment scroll from his bosom and slowly unfolded it. The scroll was densely covered with ancient words and patterns, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"This is..." Chu Mengmeng widened her eyes, her heart filled with surprise.

"This is the secret of the seal." The old man said in a deep voice, "It is also the key to controlling the evil power." Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took the parchment scroll carefully as if they had found a treasure. The scroll was cold to the touch, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if silently telling of a long history and heavy responsibilities. They carefully flipped through the scroll in the light of the fire. The ancient words and patterns on it were like mysterious symbols, attracting their eyes and touching their hearts.

"It turns out that there are so many stories behind the seal that we don't know..." Chu Mengmeng sighed as she flipped through the scroll. The scroll recorded the origin and function of the seal, as well as the records of the guardians of all generations fighting against evil forces. Those thrilling scenes and those moving stories seemed to be vividly recorded on the paper, echoing in their minds.

"It seems that brute force alone is not enough to protect the seal." Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, his eyes firm and deep, "We must find a way to control the evil power."

According to the records in the scroll, they learned a special spell that can temporarily suppress the outbreak of evil forces. This spell needs to be made with special materials and methods, and the production process is extremely complicated. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.

"It seems that we have to hurry up." Chu Mengmeng said with a hint of anxiety in her tone, "The seal has begun to loosen. We must find a way to control the evil power as soon as possible."

According to the records in the secret book, they began to look for the materials needed to make the talisman. These materials were very rare, and some even only existed in legends. In order to find these materials, they traveled thousands of miles and experienced countless hardships.

In the process of searching for materials, they encountered many difficulties and challenges, but they never gave up hope. They encouraged and supported each other, and finally overcame many difficulties and found all the materials they needed.

After all the materials were prepared, they began to make the talisman. They followed the instructions in the secret book step by step, not daring to be careless. The process of making a talisman is very complicated and requires a lot of energy and time. They worked day and night, and finally, after countless failures, they successfully made the first talisman.

"Finally succeeded!" Chu Mengmeng looked at the talisman in her hand that was emitting a faint light, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, we finally succeeded." Xiao Yichen also showed a relieved smile, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes, "However, this is only the first step, we still have to keep working hard."

They decided to experiment with a small amount of evil power to see the effect of the spell. They found a place near Luoxia Valley that was eroded by evil power and was filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng and asked.

"I'm ready." Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and nodded.

Xiao Yichen threw the talisman into the air, muttering something. The talisman emitted a dazzling light, dispelling the darkness around it. The evil force sensed the power of the talisman and began to struggle violently, but was eventually suppressed by the talisman.

"Success!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen smiled at each other, their eyes full of hope.

The spell drew a golden track in the air, and the light it emitted was like the dawn, dispelling the haze in Luoxia Valley. The small evil force that they had lured out trembled under the suppression of the spell, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

"Success!" Chu Mengmeng hugged Xiao Yichen excitedly, her joy was beyond words. This small success was like an oasis in the desert for them, bringing them infinite hope.

Xiao Yichen patted Chu Mengmeng's back gently, with a smile on his face. He knew that this was only the first step in a long journey, and there was still a long way to go, but at least they had found the direction.

"We have to notify Su Mubai and Wan'er as soon as possible and ask them to help make the talisman." Chu Mengmeng let go of Xiao Yichen, with a determined light in her eyes.

However, before they could leave Luoxia Valley, a suffocating feeling of oppression came upon them. The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast, with howling winds, flying sand and rocks, as if the end of the world had come.

"What's going on?" Chu Mengmeng's face changed, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Xiao Yichen frowned and looked up at the sky. He saw a black beam of light rising from the direction of the sealed land and piercing the sky. The beam of light contained a terrifying evil force that seemed to swallow up the whole world.

"Oh no! The power of the seal has increased!" Xiao Yichen's face changed drastically, and a storm surged in his heart. They had finally found a way to control the evil power, so why did the power of the seal suddenly increase? Could it be that their actions had disturbed the dormant evil power?

"We must go back immediately!" Chu Mengmeng also realized the seriousness of the problem and urged anxiously.

They did not dare to delay and immediately set out to rush back to the city. Along the way, they could feel the evil force growing stronger and stronger, as if a sleeping beast was waking up.

"How could this happen? Have all our previous efforts been in vain?" Chu Mengmeng was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"No, we must have a way!" Xiao Yichen clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination. He knew that now was not the time to despair, they had to cheer up and find a way to solve the problem.

After returning to the city, they immediately summoned all the city guardians and told everyone that the power of the seal had been enhanced.

"What?! The power of the seal has increased?!"

"How is this possible? Are we all going to die here?"

As soon as the news came out, the entire conference room fell into panic. Although the city guardians were all experienced warriors, they could not help but feel desperate in the face of this sudden change.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at everyone in panic, and they felt very heavy in their hearts. They knew that now they needed someone to stand up and lead everyone out of the predicament.

Just then, a carrier pigeon flew into the conference room, landed on the table, and left an anonymous letter...
