Chapter 200 I Will Come Back Alive
late at night.
Bei Yan'an awoke with a start in the darkness, his breathing rapid and erratic, his chest heaving violently.
The blanket that had been quietly covering him was now disheveled by his movements, and the voice of the woman in green from his dream seemed to still echo in his ears—a voice that made his heart pound wildly in his chest.
For a moment, he sat there on the bed, staring blankly ahead, unable to tell whether he was in reality or dreaming.
"Father..." Bei Yuze's voice finally woke Bei Yan'an.
"Are you ok?"
Bei Yan'an looked at Bei Yuze who was walking over, suppressed the emotions churning in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "It's nothing."
Bei Yan'an got out of bed and said softly, "Aze, I remember everything. I wronged her, and I feel guilty towards Meng'er... I think..."
"Father, don't die!" Bei Yuze interrupted Bei Yan'an, his expression filled with barely concealed panic.
"My little sister's mother isn't dead, it's not beyond saving yet. Father, please don't die, don't leave like Father Emperor, okay..."
Seeing Bei Yuze's pleading expression, Bei Yan'an patted his shoulder reassuringly, "I won't ask for death, don't be afraid."
Bei Yuze temporarily suppressed his fear. Before he could say anything more, Bei Yuze's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Bei Yan'an in disbelief, then lost consciousness and fell into Bei Yan'an's arms.
Bei Yan'an carried Bei Yuze to the bed. "I'm sorry, Yuze... I won't seek death, but I won't let Meng'er take that risk either. I owe them enough..."
I will come back alive.
Bei Yan'an silently recited these words to himself before slipping away from the room.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Meng quietly arrived outside the guest room.
She wasn't there to care about Bei Yan'an; she just wanted to see how he would react after regaining his memories and remembering his mother.
Gu Meng stood by the windowsill, gently pushed open the window, and peered inside through the crack.
The room was very quiet, with only a candle flickering weakly.
Huh? Where's my cousin?
Gu Meng looked around and saw no one else besides the person lying on the bed.
Gu Meng took two steps back, thought for a moment, and finally walked to the door and pushed it open.
Did you have something come up and leave early?
Gu Meng slowly walked to the bedside, and after seeing who was on the bed, her eyes widened...
"Master! Master, something terrible has happened!"
Gu Meng's voice rang out in the courtyard. Jing Shu, who was in deep meditation, opened his eyes. Han Luo exchanged a glance with him and then they both walked out of the room.
"What happened?"
Gu Meng helped Bei Yuze, who was still clutching his head, into the courtyard.
"Father went to the Nightmare Beast by himself..." Bei Yuze said, enduring his headache.
"Why is he in such a hurry?" Jingyou asked, putting on his outer robe as he came out.
"Shi Chuan, keep an eye on him. Let's go to the palace." Han Luo made a quick decision.
Bei Yan'an cannot die there.
"Wait! Take me with you, otherwise you won't be able to find it..." Bei Yuze said anxiously.
The group quickly set off, heading towards the palace.
In the inn, He Hao, who had been healing his wounds and hadn't slept, happened to see the figures of several people as he closed the window.
Jingyou?
What are they going to do so late at night?
He Hao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then decided to follow.
A short while later, the group arrived at the palace.
Bei Yuze led the group toward the depths of the palace, stopping only when they reached an abandoned palace.
"Is it in here?" Shi Chuan asked, glancing at the dusty, cobweb-covered palace.
"No."
Bei Yuze walked to the pillar next to the main gate and pressed the mechanism hidden inside. In the blink of an eye, a hidden door appeared on the ground of the courtyard.
Bei Yuze took the lead and went down first. "My great-grandfather's family has an ancestral treasure pearl that has the function of a storage bag, but it can also store living people. The space is also very large, but there is no spiritual power inside. It is equivalent to a portable secret realm."
My father and great-grandfather killed the Nightmare Beast inside this precious pearl, but after its death, the pearl could never be removed. Later, my father returned and ordered this secret chamber to be built. He somehow managed to get the pearl inside.
Bei Yuze stopped at the end of the secret passage, looked at the stone door in front of him, and said solemnly, "This is it."
Han Luo reached out and grabbed Bei Yuze by the collar, throwing him towards Shi Chuan.
"Alright, that's all for you. Just stay here quietly. Shi Chuan, you watch over him."
Shi Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood.
Bei Yuze clenched his fists. He wanted to go in too, but he couldn't!
He is not a father; he has his responsibilities. Besides, he cannot guarantee that he will not lose himself in the process.
Gu Meng walked to Han Luo's side and said with a determined look in her eyes, "Master, I want to go in too!"
“Okay, you come with me, and Jing Shu and Jing You stay as well.”
Han Luo did not stop Gu Meng. With the Nine-Turn Glazed Lamp around, he was not worried about Gu Meng's safety.
But Jing Shu is different. His consciousness is now divided into three parts, and once he goes in, no one can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.
Jing Shu did not refute it; this was something he and his master had discussed long ago.
Jing Shu and Jing You took two steps back, and Han Luo slowly pushed open the stone door.
With a dull creak, the scene inside the door was revealed, a bottomless abyss of darkness.
In an instant, an incomparably powerful demonic energy surged out from the stone gate, as if it would mercilessly suck everyone present into this endless darkness.
Han Luo stood in front of everyone, instantly releasing a powerful spiritual pressure to block the terrifying suction force for them.
“No, something’s not right! This place wasn’t like this before,” Bei Yuze suddenly said.
He had previously glimpsed it from afar; inside the stone gate, there was only a single pearl placed on the platform, unlike what he saw now.
"We'll find out once we go in." Gu Meng took a step forward, and without Han Luo's protection, she was instantly sucked in.
Han Luo glanced back at Jing Shu and the others, then followed them inside.
After the stone door slowly closed, Jing Shu leaned against the wall, clearly intending to wait for them to come out.
The other three were also unwilling to leave, but unexpectedly, the ground beneath their feet shook, and a ferocious beast's roar seemed to come from the depths of hell, deafeningly loud.
Immediately afterwards, the stone gate broke.
Jing Shu and Shi Chuan were the first to react, each grabbing the other by the collar and fleeing towards the exit.
Without Han Luo, none of them could withstand that terrifying suction force.
However, it was too late.
Just as everyone was about to be sucked in, in a flash, Jing Shu, who was lagging behind Shi Chuan, suddenly threw Jing You toward Shi Chuan.
"Senior Brother, take them out!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jing Shu vanished into the darkness.
Jingyou watched helplessly as Jingshu used all his strength to push them out of the suction range, his eyes filled with grief, bloodshot veins spreading in them, as if he were about to cry blood.
"elder brother!!!"
