Deep within the tranquil bamboo grove, Lěng Yè gradually sensed something amiss. A chill ran down his spine, and he faintly caught the sound of soft footsteps. Yet every time he turned to look, there was nothing to be seen. Alarm bells rang in Lěng Yè's mind, and he was certain this was no illusion—someone was secretly watching him, waiting for the right moment to strike.
With a heavy frown, Lěng Yè realized he was being targeted in this bamboo grove, but the identity of the adversary remained a mystery. It could be the work of enemies, including but not limited to the Lěng family, the Lóu family of Xiāngchéng, the Wújí Temple, and various factions that coveted the branches of the divine tree. Faced with so many possibilities, it was hard to tell who the true enemy was for the moment.
At that very moment, Lěng Yè whirled around, scanning his surroundings with a piercing gaze. "Since you're here, why hide? Show yourself." After a brief silence, a deep voice came from the depths of the darkness: "Heh, your intuition really is sharp. Even with me hidden so well, I still couldn't escape your eyes."
