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

The speed of the black shadow was so fast that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen didn't even have time to react. They could only watch him approach Ling'er. At this critical moment, a golden light flashed, and an old figure stood in front of Ling'er, swung out a palm, and took the attack of the black shadow.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a powerful energy wave swept across the entire courtyard. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were shocked and retreated again and again. Ling'er was also frightened and burst into tears. When the dust settled, they saw who the person was - it turned out to be the mysterious old man who had taught them in the ruined temple!

"Senior!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen exclaimed in unison, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

The mysterious old man ignored them and turned to look at the shadow, with a sharp light in his cloudy eyes: "Who are you? Why do you attack a child?"

The shadow was repelled by the old man's palm, and he was horrified. He never thought that this seemingly ordinary old man could possess such a powerful force. He steadied himself and sneered, "Old man, who are you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!"

“Hmph, I am the guardian of heaven, how can I allow you to do evil here!” The mysterious old man snorted coldly, attacked again, and fought with the black shadow.

Seeing this, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen quickly picked up Ling'er and stepped aside to watch the fight. They knew that with their strength, they could not help at all, so they could only pray silently, hoping that the mysterious old man could defeat the black shadow.

The battle was extremely fierce. Although the mysterious old man was old, his strength was unfathomable, and his every move contained great power. Although the black shadow was young and strong, he seemed a little powerless in the face of the mysterious old man's attack and gradually fell behind.

"Damn it!" The black shadow cursed inwardly, knowing that he was no match for the mysterious old man, so he made a feint, turned around and fled.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The mysterious old man snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he chased after him.

"Senior!" Seeing this, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hurriedly followed.

They chased all the way and came to a dense forest outside the city. They saw the mysterious old man and the black shadow fighting fiercely in the forest, and the powerful energy fluctuations shattered the surrounding trees.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hid behind a big tree, watching the battle nervously. They found that the black shadow seemed to be much stronger than before, while the mysterious old man seemed to be a little weak.

"Oh no, it seems like senior is going to lose!" Chu Mengmeng said anxiously.

At this moment, the black shadow suddenly roared, and an even more powerful dark force burst out from his body, knocking the mysterious old man away.

"puff!"

The mysterious old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper. He struggled to stand up, but eventually fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Hahaha, old thing, your doomsday has come!" The black shadow laughed wildly and walked towards the mysterious old man, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Senior!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen became extremely anxious upon seeing this. They wanted to rush out to save people, but they were restrained by an invisible force and could not move.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" The black shadow turned his head and looked coldly at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"We..." Chu Mengmeng was about to explain but was stopped by Xiao Yichen.

"Hmph, if you want to kill me, just kill me. Why so much nonsense!" Xiao Yichen said coldly, his eyes full of determination.

"Well, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being rude!" The black shadow shouted angrily, raised the black sword in his hand, and stabbed at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen...

At this moment, a golden light descended from the sky and shook the black shadow back. Then, a majestic voice rang in everyone's ears: "Stop!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a golden robe and a golden crown falling from the sky and slowly landing in front of them.

"Master...Master?" When the black shadow saw the person coming, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.

Ling'er is missing.

It was a sunny day. Chu Mengmeng took Ling'er to play in the woods outside the city, while Xiao Yichen was fishing in a stream not far away. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the woods became foggy. Chu Mengmeng became alert and just wanted to pick up Ling'er and leave, but found that Ling'er was gone.

"Ling'er! Ling'er!" Chu Mengmeng shouted at the top of her lungs, but she could only hear her own voice echoing in the empty woods.

Xiao Yichen heard Chu Mengmeng's cry and rushed over immediately. Seeing Chu Mengmeng's panic, his heart sank. They searched the entire forest but couldn't find Ling'er. Despair and fear surged into Chu Mengmeng's heart like a tide, and she almost fainted.

"Ling'er must have been captured by them!" Xiao Yichen hugged Chu Mengmeng tightly, his eyes full of anger and self-blame. He knew that Ling'er's disappearance must be related to that dark force.

In order to save Ling'er, they decided to do whatever it takes. They traveled to nearby towns and villages, asking around for Ling'er's whereabouts, but to no avail. Just when they were about to despair, by chance, they learned from an old man that some strange people had appeared on a barren mountain outside the city. They moved in a mysterious way and seemed to be conducting some unknown experiments.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen immediately rushed to the barren mountain. They found a hidden cave on the mountain. The entrance of the cave was blocked by dense vines. If they hadn't searched carefully, they would not have been able to find it. They pushed aside the vines and walked into the cave. A cold breath hit them in the face.

Deep in the cave was a huge underground laboratory filled with all kinds of strange instruments and equipment. Some people in black robes were busy working. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hid in the dark, secretly observing everything in the laboratory.

"Why did they take Ling'er away?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either, but they must be plotting some evil plan." Xiao Yichen's eyes were full of worry.

They continued to observe and finally discovered an astonishing secret: the people in the laboratory were studying a drug that could control human consciousness, and Ling'er was the subject of their experiment!

The flames of anger burned in the hearts of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, and they decided to rescue Ling'er at all costs and destroy this evil laboratory.

However, just as they were about to take action, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the laboratory...

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into our forbidden area!" The man in black spoke in a cold tone, his eyes scanning Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen sharply. However, just as Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were about to act, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the laboratory. It turned out to be Chu Mengmeng's half-sister - Chu Xinyao!

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into our forbidden area!" Chu Xinyao said in a cold tone, and her eyes swept sharply at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, as if they were the invaders.

"Xinyao, why are you here? What is your relationship with them?" Chu Mengmeng couldn't believe her eyes. How could her once weak sister become like this?

"Hmph, Chu Mengmeng, stop pretending! You took away everything from me, and now you dare to ruin my good deeds?" Chu Xinyao's face was ferocious, and her eyes were full of hatred. "To tell you the truth, I have joined the dark forces a long time ago. Ling'er is now my experimental subject. I want you to have a taste of losing a loved one!"

"You..." Chu Mengmeng was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She never thought that her sister would become her enemy and even attack her own daughter.

"Xinyao, it's never too late to mend your ways. You won't end up well if you do this!" Xiao Yichen tried to persuade Chu Xinyao, but all he got in return was her even crazier laughter.

"Stop talking nonsense! None of you will leave here alive today!" Chu Xinyao gave an order, and the men in black in the laboratory immediately attacked Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

A fierce battle broke out in the laboratory. Although Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were very skilled, they were outnumbered and soon fell into a bitter battle. The men in black were well-trained and their moves were ruthless. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were both injured.

"Ling'er..." Chu Mengmeng was extremely anxious. She didn't know how Ling'er was doing now, and she didn't know whether she could rescue Ling'er alive.

Just when they were about to give up, an old voice rang out in the laboratory: "Stop!"

I saw an old man in a gray robe and holding a cane slowly walking into the laboratory. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.

"Who are you?" Chu Xinyao asked vigilantly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you shouldn't touch my disciple!" The old man's tone was calm, but full of majesty.

"Disciple? You mean..." Chu Xinyao suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale.

The old man ignored Chu Xinyao. He swung his cane, and a powerful force instantly knocked the man in black away. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen suddenly felt the pressure relieved.

"Master!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen shouted in unison. They finally understood that the old man in front of them was the mysterious old man who had been secretly protecting them.

"Take Ling'er away from here first, and leave this place to me." The old man said without turning his head.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so they immediately rushed into the depths of the laboratory and found Ling'er who was imprisoned in the room.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid, mom and dad are here to save you!" Chu Mengmeng hugged Ling'er tightly, her eyes filled with tears.

The family of three was finally reunited, and they followed the old man to leave the laboratory.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Chu Xinyao roared unwillingly. She launched an attack again, trying to stop them from leaving.

The old man snorted coldly, waved his cane, easily neutralized Chu Xinyao's attack, and then took Chu Mengmeng and her family of three out of the laboratory.

"Master, are we leaving like this?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"The dark forces will not give up." The old man stopped and turned to look at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, "Kids, remember, this is just the beginning..."

After escaping from the laboratory, Chu Mengmeng and her family of three came to a hidden valley under the guidance of the old man.

"Master, where is this place?" Xiao Yichen looked around and saw beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and blooming flowers, just like a paradise.

"This is my retreat, and it is also your temporary safe haven." The old man explained, "The dark forces will not easily give up tracking you down. You must rest and recuperate here and prepare for the next battle."

"Master, what do you mean when you say that the dark forces have not been completely eliminated?" Chu Mengmeng asked worriedly.

The old man sighed and said, "Chu Xinyao is just a pawn of the dark forces. There is a more powerful force behind her that controls everything. The reason why I didn't kill her is because I want to find the real source of the dark forces through her."

"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"Children, I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time to tell you." The old man looked at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen with deep eyes, "I just want to tell you that the real purpose of the dark power is to subvert the world and drag mankind into an endless abyss. And you are the last hope to stop all this from happening."

"We?" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other. They didn't understand why they would become the key to saving the world.

"Yes, it's you." The old man nodded and said firmly, "You have ancient blood flowing in your bodies, and possess power that ordinary people cannot imagine. As long as you can awaken the power in your bodies, you will be able to defeat the dark forces and protect this world."

"But how do we awaken the power in our bodies?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

The old man smiled and said, "When the time is right, you will understand."

In the next few days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen began to learn how to control the power in their bodies under the guidance of the old man. Ling'er played happily in the valley, as if she had forgotten her previous fear.

However, the peaceful life was soon broken.

"Master, it's bad, the dark forces are chasing us!"

The old man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we must act in advance." He took out an ancient parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, "This is the clue I have used to investigate the dark forces over the years. Take it and go find the source of the dark forces."

"But Master, what are you going to do?" Chu Mengmeng asked worriedly.

"Don't worry about me, I have my own way to get out of this." The old man patted Chu Mengmeng's shoulder and said kindly, "Child, remember, you are the hope of this world, don't let me down."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took the parchment scroll and nodded solemnly. They knew that they were shouldering an important mission and had to move forward without hesitation.

They followed the instructions on the parchment scroll and finally arrived at a desolate desert.

"Is this the source of the dark power?" Xiao Yichen looked at the endless desert in front of him, his heart full of doubts.

"That should be correct. The parchment scroll said that this used to be a prosperous city. Later, it was destroyed due to a war and became what it is now." Chu Mengmeng explained.

At this moment, they suddenly felt a powerful force coming from the depths of the desert, as if something was awakening.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and at the same time, a sense of uneasiness arose in their hearts.

They clenched their weapons and walked towards the direction where the power came from. Ahead, the yellow sand was endless, hiding the ancient secrets and foreshadowing the coming of greater challenges.
