Chapter 1153: A Ghost Around the Corner?

“At first, it was a ‘scratch scratch’ noise, like that of a fingernail scraping against e and terrifying, and hard to describe ords Right, it was a bit like the sound of that waterphone instruht and played at the manor”

Zu An was a bit surprised when he saw that He hadn’t expected this world to actually have a waterphone Most of the terrifying sounds fro a waterphone

“I heard froh theNot even their corpse could be found…

“I suspect that the sounds areis probably left behind when that monster moves around

“I auard, I have to re sha happen to Maid Xing’s group, so I a to find a way to draw this monster in the other direction

“I do not kno long I will be able to last

“It is a pity that I will never be able to ain I hope that she can at least h these troubled times”

…

A tear trickled down Yu Yanluo’s cheek when she saw those words She learned her forehead against Zu An’s chest Her body was shaking slightly, and she was clearly filled with emotion

Zu An patted her shoulder to coh the pages There had been a line or two recorded later on, but unfortunately, it was too hard to read through all the bloodstains Then, the recordings came to a sudden stop When he connected that fact to the broken sword, Zu An realized that everything pointed at disaster

He analyzed the situation and said, “This notebook was previously embedded into the wall He probably threw it here with all of his strength when he was in danger He probably wanted to leave this behind so others would knohat happened”

“If he threw it at that tile and direction…” He looked around the area Soon afterward, he arrived near a section of the black fog He reached out his hand and pressed against the wall, saying, “The earth here is softer than the rest The walls of a mine should be reinforced to prevent cave-ins; there’s no way it should be this loose So probably rushed out suddenly from here and ambushed Yu Bin”

Yu Yanluo also surrounded herself with her elemental barrier and walked over She exah the earth here is loose, there are no traces of a cave here If a e hole behind, right?”

Zu An shook his head and said, “It’s probably an earth eleround It wouldn’t really need to make a hole It’s only because the earth here was affected by the earth element that the dirt here i a bit different”

“You’re right Looks like we have to be careful of so out of the walls,” Yu Yanluo said, her expression carrying a hint of grief She said, “All of this was information Yu Bin left behind at the cost of his life”

Zu An patted her shoulder Anything he said at that point would pale in comparison After Yu Yanluo calmed down a bit, however, he said, “The first priority is to rescue the survivors and to prevent a repeat of this tragedy Since Yu Bin intentionally drew that beast here, Maid Xing and the others should be on the other side”

Yu Bin had been cut off froe, but with the pair’s cultivations, that wasn’t too big of a probleotten soroup, so they naturally had to take a look

Yu Yanluo nodded She didn’t even kno terrible she would feel if soroup too She put away Yu Bin’s booklet and said seriously, “Once I return, I’ll establish a monument for these brave soldiers who have sacrificed theh they’ve died, Iin the hearts of the Yu clan’s people”

Zu An instead felt a bit worried Now that Yu Yanluo’s Medusa identity had been exposed, she ht not be able to return to Cloudcenter City’s Yu clan any like that while she was grieving

…

The two of the the way, they found some traces that had most likely been left behind by Yu Bin
