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

"You mean... **she**?" Xiao Yichen's expression also became solemn. The name that Chu Mengmeng didn't say out loud was like a huge stone pressing on their hearts.

Outside the window, the night deepened and the moon was obscured by dark clouds, foreshadowing a coming storm.

The next morning, the originally peaceful and tranquil city was broken by a piercing alarm. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were suddenly awakened from their sleep. A powerful spiritual power wave came from outside the window, accompanied by exclamations and screams. The whole city seemed to be in panic.

"It's too late, let's go!" Xiao Yichen made a quick decision, took Chu Mengmeng's hand, and the two of them jumped onto the roof and rushed towards the direction where the spiritual power fluctuations came from.

In the city center, the once bustling streets were now in ruins, with buildings collapsing and flames shooting into the sky. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and burning. Countless mysterious people in black cloaks, holding various magical weapons, were wantonly attacking the surrounding civilians.

"Stop!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen landed in the middle of the crowd. Spiritual power surged around their bodies, and they instantly knocked away several men in black who were trying to launch a sneak attack.

"It's the eldest lady and Mr. Xiao!"

"We are saved!"

Seeing the two people appear, the citizens who were originally panicked seemed to have found their backbone and moved closer to them. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood back to back, cooperating tacitly, and repelled the black-clad men who attacked them one by one.

"Their target is..." Xiao Yichen's eyes were sharp as a torch, scanning the chaotic scene around him, and soon found a clue. Although these men in black seemed to attack without any rules, their target was surprisingly consistent - the spiritual vein node in the center of the city.

"Oh no, they want to destroy the spirit vein!" Chu Mengmeng also realized this, and suddenly a bad feeling rose in her heart. The spirit vein is the key to maintaining the spiritual power of the entire city. Once it is destroyed, the consequences will be disastrous.

"We must not let them succeed!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other with firm eyes. Without any hesitation, they immediately rushed towards the direction of the spirit vein node.

Meanwhile, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, who were far away in the other side of the city, had also received the news and quickly organized people to launch a rescue operation. Murong Xue used her powerful intelligence network to search for traces of the mysterious organization and try to find out the truth behind the attack...

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er rushed to the east of the city, one of the worst-hit areas. The once bustling commercial street was now in ruins, with collapsed buildings and panicked people everywhere on the streets. Su Mubai immediately organized a rescue team to treat the wounded and evacuate the people. Lin Wan'er used her family's influence to mobilize resources, appease the people and stabilize the situation.

On the other side, Murong Xue was lurking in her secret base, her slender fingers quickly tapping on the keyboard. There was only one computer screen in the room, flickering with a faint light, reflecting her solemn expression. "Damn it, who leaked the news?" Murong Xue cursed in a low voice. The screen showed the mysterious organization's action trajectory. They acted quickly and had clear goals. It was obvious that they came prepared.

"Based on their route and target, they don't seem to be trying to destroy the spirit veins..." Murong Xue tapped the table lightly with her fingers, lost in thought, "What is their real goal?"

At this moment, a new message popped up on the computer screen. Murong Xue's eyes lit up, "Found it! It turned out to be..." She quickly forwarded the message to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, "Mengmeng, you have to be careful, the mastermind behind this attack is..."

"Who is it?" Chu Mengmeng asked anxiously. She and Xiao Yichen had already arrived at the spiritual vein node. The scene before them was shocking. The node that was originally full of spiritual energy was now shrouded in black mist, and several men in black were trying to break the seal by force.

"It's... **Chu Tianxiong's nemesis, the leader of the Demon Flame Cult - Yan Lie**." Murong Xue's voice rang in Chu Mengmeng's mind, like a thunderclap, blowing her mind blank.

"Devil Flame Sect? Yan Lie?" Xiao Yichen frowned upon hearing this. "I've heard of this person. It's said that he is ruthless and cruel, doing all kinds of evil. He once caused a bloody storm, but was later sealed away by Alliance Leader Chu and other righteous people. I didn't expect he's still alive..."

"He is not only alive, but also even more powerful." Murong Xue's voice was solemn. "According to my investigation, their target this time is the ancient treasure under the city. It is said that it contains the power to control the entire spiritual vein. If he gets it, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing this, Chu Mengmeng suddenly became furious. She finally understood that all this was directed at her. Yan Lie not only wanted to get the treasure, but also wanted to take revenge on her father and the Chu family!

"I will never let him succeed!" Chu Mengmeng clenched her fists, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "Xiao Yichen, let's go!" She decided to go deep into the tiger's den. She wanted to face this enemy personally, avenge her parents, and fight for the peace of the city!

The rage burning in Chu Mengmeng's eyes was like a blazing flame, illuminating the spiritual vein nodes shrouded in black mist. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, and her tone was firm and unquestionable: "Xiao Yichen, let's go!"

Xiao Yichen looked at the petite figure in front of him, feeling both worried and respectful. He knew that Chu Mengmeng looked confused, but in fact she was very strong.

"Mengmeng, I'll go with you." Su Mubai's voice came from behind. He looked solemn, holding the sword passed down from generation to generation in his family in his hand, and the sword emitted a sharp cold light.

"And me!" Lin Wan'er also stood firmly beside Chu Mengmeng. Although she did not have strong spiritual power, she was proficient in various mechanisms and formations, and could lend a helping hand at critical moments.

"No, it's too dangerous!" Xiao Yichen flatly refused, "The people of the Demon Flame Cult are full of tricks, you can't take the risk."

"But..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Xiao Yichen.

"No buts! I promised your father that I would protect you well and never let you be in danger." Xiao Yichen's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

He knew Chu Mengmeng had made up her mind, and it was useless to dissuade her, so he could only settle for the next best thing: "How about this, I'll lead them away, and you take the opportunity to enter the base, find Yan Lie, and destroy the treasure."

"No, this is too dangerous!" Chu Mengmeng and Su Mubai objected in unison. They must not let Xiao Yichen take the risk alone.

"This is the only way." Xiao Yichen said firmly, "Trust me, I will come back alive."

After saying this, he didn't give the three people a chance to refute. He turned around and rushed towards the direction where the most men in black were. The spiritual power in his hands surged, and he knocked down several men in black in an instant, buying precious time for Chu Mengmeng and others.

"Let's go!" Chu Mengmeng knew that now was not the time to hesitate. She looked deeply at Xiao Yichen's back, turned around and took Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, rushing towards the base coordinates provided by Murong Xue.

Along the way, they encountered numerous ambushes set by a mysterious organization. Men in black emerged from all directions like ghosts, holding sharp blades and using ruthless moves to kill them.

Chu Mengmeng and Su Mubai fought side by side, one was as agile as the wind, the other was as steady as a mountain, they cooperated well and repelled the enemy again and again. Lin Wan'er used the terrain and mechanisms to cleverly resolve many crises.

However, the mysterious organization has a large number of people and seems to know their whereabouts very well. They can accurately predict their routes and set ambushes every time.

"We can't go on like this, we'll be exhausted to death!" Su Mubai swung his sword and cut off the arm of a man in black, frowning. They had been fighting for several hours, consuming a huge amount of spiritual energy, and the enemy seemed endless.

"I know a place where we may be able to get rid of them." Lin Wan'er suddenly spoke, pointing to a dense forest on the map. "This is the Misty Forest, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round. Even people from the mysterious organization don't dare to enter easily."

"Okay, let's go to the Misty Forest!" Chu Mengmeng made a prompt decision, and the three of them immediately changed direction and broke out towards the Misty Forest.

However, what they don’t know is that waiting for them are even more dangerous traps and challenges... Can Chu Mengmeng and her companions successfully break through the siege and find the leader of the mysterious organization?

Outside the misty forest, the air was filled with miasma, and a few skeletons could be vaguely seen hidden among the dead branches and leaves, adding a bit of eeriness and horror. Chu Mengmeng and her group rushed over non-stop, and everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme.

"Be careful, the terrain here is complicated and it's easy to get lost." Lin Wan'er walked in front. She was quite knowledgeable about mechanical formations and was carefully observing the surrounding environment, fearing that she would touch any mechanical traps.

Su Mubai held the sword in his hand, looked around vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "The Devil Flame Cult is treacherous, we must be on guard."

Although Chu Mengmeng seemed calm on the surface, her heart was in turmoil. Xiao Yichen had led the enemy away alone, and his life or death was uncertain, while they were in danger and their future was uncertain. All of this made her feel extremely anxious.

"There seems to be someone in front!" Lin Wan'er suddenly lowered her voice and pointed to an open space not far ahead.

The three of them walked lightly and slowly approached, only to see several men in black gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

"They seem to be talking about...Xiao Yichen..." Chu Mengmeng's ears moved, and she keenly captured the key words.

"What should we do? Should we..." Su Mubai made a gesture of wiping his neck, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Chu Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "Listen to what they are saying first."

The three of them hid behind the bushes, holding their breath and listening carefully to the conversation between the men in black.

"The young master has ordered that Xiao Yichen must be captured alive. Everyone else must be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the word "capture alive", Chu Mengmeng felt a little relieved, but at the same time she was more worried about Xiao Yichen's safety. Why did the leader of the mysterious organization want to capture him alive? What was their purpose?

Just as Chu Mengmeng was thinking, one of the men in black suddenly turned around and glanced sharply at their hiding place.

"Who is there?!"

Oops, we've been discovered! Chu Mengmeng secretly said that it was not good, and was about to show up, but she saw a black shadow flash by, and a tall man in black stood in front of them, with a long sword in his hand pointing directly at the man in black who discovered them.

"Who are you? How dare you stop us?!" the man in black shouted angrily.

"The one who wants to kill you!" Before the man in black finished speaking, the sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning, as fast as the wind, and as powerful as a unstoppable force, and instantly knocked the opponent to the ground.

"You..." The man in black covered his chest with his hands, his eyes full of fear and disbelief. He never thought until his death that he would die at the hands of his own people.

"Who are you? Why do you want to save us?" Su Mubai asked vigilantly.

The man in black slowly took off his cloak, revealing an angular face with a complex light flashing in his deep eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."

"You are... Murong Xue?!" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise.
