He would rather believe the former.

Mu Chen was surrounded by darkness.

He felt that his hands and feet were restrained, and his energy was greatly reduced. He was so dizzy that he felt he might fall asleep again at any time. However, panic made him unable to rest quietly and he felt that several talismans were stuck to his chest.

In order to prevent him from touching it, the person who pasted the talisman confined his limbs.

However, even if he couldn’t touch it, Mu Chen could feel the powerful black energy in front of his chest and the feeling of spiritual energy being sucked away continuously.

He no longer dared to imagine what kind of mess Langcang Mountain would be in now.

Mu Chen tried his best to recall the scene before he was locked up, but other than a pair of fair wrists and charming red lips, he couldn’t remember anything else. Coupled with the fact that his essence energy was weak now, he only felt dizzy and couldn’t think of anything else.

His only thought was to get out as soon as possible.

He calmed down and carefully observed the movements around him, but he heard a few disciples not far away shouting with all their might, “Sect Master, something’s wrong! There seems to be a problem at the back of Langcang Mountain. Hurry up and loosen the barrier!”

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his little disciples had good intentions and knew that they should look for the Sect Master at this time.

Mu Chen calmed down and used all his strength to transmit the incantation to his disciples outside the barrier.

After a moment of shock, the little disciples quickly undid the barrier and rushed into the hut to save Mu Chen.

Outside the door, it was dark and gloomy. A damp smell filled the deep mountains of Langcang Mountain. Mu Chen choked on the smell, but he still asked, “Where’s Mu Xue?”

“We saw Miss Mu Xue in the shop today. She was so angry today that we didn’t even dare to greet her. Then, a beautiful girl came. Miss Mu Xue and a few strange guests entered the barrier, but haven’t come out yet.”

“There were even people riding peach blossom branches to the shop today! It was so cool!”

The two disciples chattered as they untied Mu Chen, but they quickly recognized the talisman on Mu Chen’s chest.

“Eh? This isn’t Miss…” A little disciple hurriedly looked around before covering his mouth.

“Don’t talk nonsense! She wouldn’t cast such a curse! I think it’s because everyone wants the Sect Master to cultivate diligently that they’re so harsh on him.”

When they couldn’t remove Mu Chen’s talismans and shackles at all, their expressions changed in alarm. “No way! Senior Aunt… What does she plan to do?!”

Be it charms or shackles, they were all powerful black curses. Without supreme cultivation, they couldn’t be resolved. This wasn’t a game or cultivation. She really wanted to kill the Sect Master!

“Don’t be afraid. Qiu Shi, Chun Shi, go down and call more people over. I’ve exhausted too much vitality, and 1 don’t have a way to remove it myself. The hope of Langcang Mountain is in your hands now.”

A muffled thunder sounded at the top of Langcang Mountain. After Mu Chen closed his eyes, the scene from thousands of years ago appeared in front of him again.

On that stormy day, he received the hatred and complete distrust of his lover.

As he recalled that resentful and indignant gaze over and over again, a sharp pain came from his chest.

This pain was even more painful than the talisman on his chest.

In fact, how could he not guess who had set up this talisman for him? He was just unwilling to admit that he couldn’t be perfect in all aspects.

As the bean-sized rain outside poured into the house, a chill seeped into his heart.

This time, he definitely wouldn’t disappoint Shen Chun again..
