Chapter 1457: Chapter 716: Mysterious Deliberations!

Qing Shuang smiled faintly, "After all, we came from that swamp, naturally we’ll attract attention."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in rough clothing came over, looking like the owner of the tavern.

"Are you two from the side of the swamp?" the man asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance and nodded.

"My name is Bai Cheng, I’m the owner here. You might not know, Jinmu City has countless connections with that swamp," Bai Cheng said mysteriously.

"Oh? Is there a particular story?" Qing Shuang asked curiously.

Bai Cheng looked around to ensure no one was paying attention before lowering his voice to continue, "Legend has it that the establishment of Jinmu City is closely linked to the Heart of Swamp. Long ago, our ancestors received help from the Heart of Swamp, enabling them to establish this city in this desolate place."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were surprised upon hearing this.

They didn’t expect that the "Heart of Swamp" they had just encountered would be so deeply connected to this city.

"Do you know where the Heart of Swamp is now?" Luo Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Bai Cheng shook his head, "Very few people know this secret, but I heard recently some mysterious outsiders are inquiring about the Heart of Swamp."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt a pang in their hearts, realizing that things might not be as simple as they had imagined.

"Thank you for the information, Bai Cheng." Qing Shuang said politely.

"You’re welcome, if you need help, feel free to find me."

After saying this, Bai Cheng turned and went back behind the counter.

After finishing their meal, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to walk around the city to see if they could gather more information about the Heart of Swamp.

As they walked through the streets of Jinmu City, they found that the residents here seemed to have a unique reverence for the swamp.

They passed a bookstore, and Qing Shuang suggested going in to see if they could find some Ancient Tomes about the swamp.

The bookstore was filled with the fragrance of paper, and the shelves were lined with an array of books.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began searching among the bookshelves, hoping to find some clues.

Just then, Qing Shuang spotted some blurred characters on a worn spine - "The Secrets of the Heart of Swamp."

She carefully pulled out the book and opened it to find it recorded many legends and histories about the swamp.

One passage caught her attention: "The Heart of Swamp is the essence of nature, containing endless power. It not only grants the holder great strength but also brings wisdom and the purification of the Spirit. However, it is a double-edged sword that, if used improperly, will bring disaster."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, realizing the importance of the Heart of Swamp far exceeded their imagination.

They must act cautiously and ensure this power doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

They decided to buy the book for careful study later.

After paying, the two left the bookstore and continued their exploration in the city.

As night gradually fell, the lights of Jinmu City lit up, adding a few mysterious hues to the ancient city.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood on a bridge, watching the gently flowing river, filled with thoughts of the future.

"Why don’t we stay here for a while?" Luo Chen said softly.

These days of training and running around.

Made Luo Chen honestly feel a bit tired inside.

Qing Shuang nodded, sensing Luo Chen’s exhaustion, while she herself also longed for a temporary resting place to give the Spirit a moment of peace.

"Alright, we’ll stay here for a while." Qing Shuang’s voice carried a touch of gentleness, "Maybe we might encounter some interesting people in this city as well."

Luo Chen looked gratefully at Qing Shuang. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as Qing Shuang was by his side, he had endless strength to face it.

They started seeking a suitable accommodation and finally found a small inn on a quiet street in the eastern part of the city.

The inn was small but clean and tidy, and the landlady was a kindly middle-aged woman who warmly welcomed them and arranged two adjacent rooms for them.

After settling in the inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to rest for the night and continue their exploration the next day.

In the stillness of the night, Luo Chen lay in bed, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

He recalled the various adventures experienced with Qing Shuang, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He knew, no matter the road ahead, they would stand shoulder to shoulder and face it together.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang got up early, ready to start a new day.

After a simple breakfast, they decided to head to the central square of Jinmu City, the liveliest place in town, where they might hear more about the Heart of Swamp.

The square was bustling with people and filled with the cries of various vendors.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang wove through the crowd, carefully listening to the conversations around them.

Suddenly, they noticed a group of people heatedly discussing something, seemingly related to the swamp.

The two quietly moved closer, trying to hear their conversation clearly.

"Did you hear? Last night, mysterious people appeared at the edge of the swamp again, they seem to be searching for something," a middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"Yes, I heard too. Those people don’t look like locals, they carry a disturbing aura," an elderly woman nearby agreed.
