The Missing Ling Chen

The Volcanic Desolation Beast’s floating body fell to the ground, and a piercing howl sounded out as the flames dissipated. By the time the flames had disappeared, it had stopped moving.

“Ding… you have killed the LV80 Heaven’s End grade Boss [Volcanic Desolation Beast], Fame+80,000, SP+80,000.”

“Ding… congratulations you have levelled up to LV32, HP+20, MP+20, Strength+5, Agility+1, Spirit+1.”

“Ding… congratulations you have levelled up to LV33…”

“Ding… congratulations you have levelled up to LV34…”

………………….

………………….

“Ding… congratulations you have levelled up to LV44 HP+20, MP+20, Strength+5, Agility+1, Spirit+1.”

“Ding… your pet Xi Ling has levelled up to LV44…”

“Ding… your pet Cai’Er has levelled up to LV44…”

“Ding… your mount-type pet Snow Cherry has levelled up to LV44…”

“Ding… your pet Xiao Hui has levelled up to LV44…”

“Ding… your pet Leng’Er has levelled up to LV44…”

After killing a higher-level, higher-grade monster, Ling Chen and his pets’ levels once again greatly increased. Soon, the Volcanic Desolation Beast was devoured by Xiao Hui as well.

“Roarrr!!! Arooooo!!!”

“Sssss!!”

“Gurgle… gurgle…”

The Volcanic Desolation Beast’s howl travelled very far, and it seemed to be some sort of signal. In an instant, countless sinister, furious, dignified, and bloodthirsty howls and roars sounded out from all around them. All of the fur on Xiao Hui’s body stood on end, and Xi Ling’s face was filled with wariness. Cai’Er continued hiding behind Ling Chen, heavily trembling, while Ling Chen frowned and activated [Vanishing Shadow], hiding himself. Countless monsters had been sealed in the Lunar Sky Hell over the past tens of thousands of years, and even if he continuously killed them, he would not be able to clear out the entire Lunar Sky Hell. At the same time, he could deal with Celestial grade and Heaven’s End grade monsters, but if he ran into any Mysterious God grade monsters… such as the Evil Black Dragon that had been sealed in here by Snow Cherry, he would not be able to deal with them so easily.

He wasn’t concerned about how to deal with these monsters right now. Instead, he was worried about how he would leave this place.

“Xiao Hui, concentrate on looking for any hidden mechanisms or hidden regions. I don’t believe that there’s no way to escape this place!”

Even though Ling Chen was doing his best to remain calm, the longer he stayed in this place, the more unsettled he felt. After all, even Xiao Feng Chen had been unable to escape despite being in here for 1,000 years, and they had been incredibly lucky to escape using a Spatial Stone last time. Now that he did not have any Spatial Stones on him, how could he leave? Could it be that he would be sealed in here forever like Xiao Feng Chen?

He could not find any way to leave, nor could he think of anything. His only hope was Xiao Hui – perhaps, with his peerless detection abilities, he’ll be able to find something.

Xiao Hui gave a low growl and walked in a few circles, but his eyes remained blank. Finally, he chose a direction and started running, and Ling Chen followed behind him with [Vanishing Shadow] still activated. He had no idea where they were going or what the darkness ahead contained…

Just like that, a day passed… 2 days passed… 3 days passed… then 4 days, 5 days, 6 days… 10 days… 15 days…

Ling Tian City.

“How is it? Have you found him or contacted him yet?” Seeing Fey return, Yun Meng Xin hurriedly went over and asked worriedly.

Fey expressionlessly shook her head.

“How could it be like this? What happened to him?” Yun Meng Xin frowned, feeling incredibly anxious. “He often stays online for many days and is uncontactable, but it would be 5 days at most. This time, it has been nearly 20 days; Tian Tian and the others have tried calling him out many times, and Tian Tian has even been worried to the point of crying. However, he has not woken up, and he has not responded at all.”

Fey closed her eyes and fell silent for a moment before opening her eyes and giving a comforting smile. “Don’t worry, he’s probably in a sealed region doing a special quest. He most likely hasn’t logged off because he doesn’t want to – after all, this is a game, so there surely aren’t any maps that stop people from logging off, right? Since he wants to stay in the game, don’t worry about him. Just make sure you maintain his life-support systems.”

“That makes sense, but it has been far too long this time. I just can’t feel at ease,” Yun Meng Xin replied.

After leaving the Lady of the City’s residence, Fey’s expression became grim.

Half a month ago, when she realised that the 3 Moon Goddesses that had come to the Sea Emperor Palace were clones, she knew that the situation was bad. However, when she tried to contact Ling Chen, she had been given a system announcement telling her that he was not contactable. Despite feeling incredibly worried, she had patiently waited for a long time, but she still had not heard from him. During this period of time, he had not logged off either.

She had asked the Sea Emperor Helos about this, and after hearing about the events from Fey, his expression became unsightly. What he had told her was the Ling Chen had most likely been sealed in the Lunar Sky Hell! It was a place that was filled with ferocious monsters and spirits, a place more terrifying than hell, and it could not be escaped from.

“Lunar Sky Hell!” Fey frowned deeper and deeper. She looked at the Lachesis rings on her fingers and muttered in a low voice, “Adam, just hang on for a bit longer. In 7 days, the Lachesis’ spatial energy and time energy will be completely restored, and in 20 days, the Lachesis’ power will once again develop. When that time comes, I’ll do everything I can to bring you out… even if I can’t let you come out, I’ll at least keep you company in there... wait for me!”

Real world, Bamboo Sea Wonderland.

Everyone was used to not hearing from Ling Chen for 3 to 5 days, but now, it had already been 19 days. All of them felt incredibly worried. Even though they knew that it was possible that Ling Chen had not come out because he did not want to come out, they could not stop worrying more and more. Every day, they felt that even Shadissika’s ridiculously good food tasted incredibly bland because of their worry.

After all, Ling Chen was the core of this family and their support. After not hearing his voice or seeing his eyes for such a long time, they simply couldn’t feel at ease. No matter if it was Xuanyuan Dia Wu, Tian Tian, Xiao Qi, Su’Er, Chao Ying, or Chao Xi… they ran into Ling Chen’s room everyday many times, hoping to see him awake.

Only Qi Yue did not seem worried at all. Every day, she would just eat, sleep, read magazines, watch soap operas, sunbathe, and swim, seeming incredibly relaxed as if nothing had happened.

It was now already Summer, and even though the residence was surrounded by a bamboo forest, the sunlight was still quite intense. Qi Yue was on a bamboo sunchair beside the man-made lake, wearing a large pair of sunglasses on her face. There was only a thin towel covering her body – because the towel was quite short, the top only covered half of her large breasts, and if it was any lower, it would reveal 2 pink buds. Her 2 slim and long white legs were completely exposed, and there was… nothing beneath the towel.

Sunbathing for a few hours was something that Qi Yue had to do every day. However, despite doing this, her skin remained just as white, and she did not seem tanned at all.

A cool breeze blew past, and Qi Yue, who had silently lain there for a long time, lightly moved her lips. She lazily stretched up her arm and took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of clear and beautiful eyes.

“15 days, it’s still not enough… my dear little master, in another 15 days, I’ll go and help you. The Lunar Sky Hell puts an immense mental strain on one’s mind. I’m sure you’ll be nearly mad by the time you leave. When that time comes…” Qi Yue’s lips lifted up into a bewitching smile.

In the blink of an eye, another 15 days passed.

It had been an entire month since Ling Chen had been sealed in the Lunar Sky Hell.

Ling Tian City’s expansions were already complete, and it was now 3 times larger than it had been in the past. In half a month at the latest, the new Districts would open, causing the Ling Tian City’s growth to skyrocket to a new level.

Before, when the Yan Huang Alliance had joined Ling Tian City, most players had thought that it was because they were unable to compete with Ling Tian City and wanted to delay their demise. This was because with Long Tian Yun’s personality, as well as the Yan Huang Alliance’s reputation and power, it was impossible for them to truly submit.

However, after a month had passed, what people saw completely shocked them. The Yan Huang Alliance not only had not done anything that was contrary to Ling Tian City’s interests, but they had also completed all of orders that Ling Tian City had given them, and they had even added a guild rule that no one was to refuse Ling Tian City’s orders. Some players who broke this rule or protested were either punished or kicked out of the Yan Huang Alliance.

As the Alliance Master of the Yan Huang Alliance, Long Tian Yun had once been the overlord of China’s virtual world. Long Tian Yun’s actions completely dumbfounded everyone – he worked incredibly hard every day, and he gave all of his time to Ling Tian City. He always immediately carried out any orders from Ling Tian City, and he did not dally at all. When meeting the leaders of the city, he acted incredibly respectfully as if he had met his own father… no! He was even more respectful than when facing his own father!

He would only act like this in front of Ling Tian City’s leaders – in front of other players, he was just as arrogant and haughty, and this was especially so within the Yan Huang Alliance. No one could imagine just why Long Tian Yun’s attitude had taken such a shocking turn towards Ling Tian City.

However, what was certain was there was no longer any powers within the China Region that could threaten Ling Tian City in the slightest.

As for Ling Chen, who had left Ling Tian City, there was still no word from him. He was within the Mystic Moon world, but it was as if he had completely disappeared. No one could contact him, much less find him.
