Chapter 521: Specter’s Appearance (1/2)

“This place is the resting place of the ancestors with many vestiges left behind, you best be careful.” Dongfang Jingyue carefully pushed an old wooden door open. An ancient and sad aura slammed their face - one from several thousand years ago.

It was as if the temporal planes of the past and present were colliding.

Feiyun also felt a strange aura as if he had been here before. However, it was buried in his memories, unable to come up with something concrete.

“An illusion crossing through the spatiotemporal fabrics; looks like there is really something in there that is connected with me.”

The surrounding was quiet so they could hear their own footsteps. Of course, Jingyue’s sweet scent was also lingering in the air.

She brought him to a simple and natural room with an aged painting hanging on the wall. It has been corroded by time so the outer frame was peeling.

“It’s this one.” Her soft lips slightly moved as she gazed at the painting.

Feiyun also took a look - the sceneries here looked just like Duo - a simple village with green farms and rivers, lush thickets and beautiful mountains.

Seeing this made them recall the terrifying night in the past, causing them to palpitate.

Duo has already been drowned in time and had disappeared. Perhaps it wouldn’t disappear again after the white vessel had left the shrine. It had lost its meaning for existence.

Beneath the painting were the words “Duo Village” written in an ancient style. The calligraphy was gentle and full of dao rhythm.

Feiyun was especially attentive about these words and heaved a sigh of relief after finding that it wasn’t Shui Yueting’s handwriting.

At the corner of the painting was a tiny shrine with a lamp inside - looking quite realistic just like the one they saw before.

Both of them stared at it at the same time as if there was a mysterious power from the unknown attracting them. This was a strange sensation.

He had an illusion that the flame inside the lamp was flickering.

“I feel a ripple on this painting, do you?” She found it harder to breathe.

He felt a ripple after entering this room as well as if a spatial portal had been opened.

“Who?!” Feiyun took out his weapon essence and became vigilant.

He could see a shadow flying out of the window just now from the corner of his eye.

Jingyue looked out and didn’t notice anything: “This is a forbidden ground guarded by a few ancestors. No one can come in.”

Feiyun didn’t let down his guard and thought about the weird images he saw earlier along the way. He said: “Outsiders can’t go in, but what if strange things are already here?”

She felt a chill after hearing this and became cautious as well after thinking about a few rumors.

He carefully inched towards the door after activating his divine intents and senses. He was certain that he wasn’t just seeing things earlier. The moment they got outside, a dark claw reached for his right shoulder.

He couldn’t see what it was but it was definitely not a human hand. He swung his weapon essence and unleashed a white ray.

However, this black claw wasn’t actually physical, more of something akin to a ghost. Physical attack was useless so he got a deep scratch on his shoulder with flesh coming off. If he wasn’t alert earlier and dodged to the side, his torso would have been ripped off.

Jingyue, on the other hand, didn’t see anything. Only the air fluctuating by Feiyun’s shoulder then blood came spurting out.

“What is that?!” She took out her spirit mirror. It floated above her and exuded a boundless light to protect the two of them.
