Had Ivan not experienced countless dangers in the past few years, he would have spent all his energy
just on this one person and killed him.
Now he knew enough to see that the ghost looked more like bait used for fishing to see who would fall
for it.
Ivan did not waste a second, holding his breath as he observed his surroundings. He could practically
feel all the hair on his body stand up.
Someone seemed to being in from outside.
Ivan felt like danger was lurking. He cast a quick nce around him and found that there was no ce
in the temple for him to hide at all.

of the rock and stone scrolls. Despite it not being the safest hiding spot, Ivan was certain it was better
to hide there than meet whatever was about toe head-on.
Ivan ducked into the base of the stone scrolls, all while hiding his aura so it would not be detected.
What he did not know was that there was a dull wave of energy at the bottom of the stone scrolls as
well,pletely shrouding his aura.
Just as Ivan was done hiding, someone came in.
“Wait… why isn’t there anyone here?” The person’s voice seemed intentionally deepened so that no
one would be able to tell who it was.
Still, it was clear it was a man’s voice.
The person looked around and left.
It was dead silent outside.

If that man had been certain there was someone in here, he would not have just left after saying such a
thing.
On top of that, the stone scrolls were right there. Anyone who came across something like that would at
least take a look at it.
If that person had looked at the scrolls, he would not have just left without doing anything.
Which meant that he was still out there and had just pretended to leave.
If that was the case, this person had been here before Ivan and knew what was on the stone scrolls…
Ivan was inclined to believe that this person had followed him here.
Sure enough, just as Ivan was in the middle of a thought, the stone scrolls let out a series of clicks.
Someone was moving the base of the scrolls!
Ivan froze at once.
If the person moved the base away, they would be able to see Ivan!
Ivan did not dare to breathe too loudly, not even blinking his eyes. He channeled his internal energy,
suppressing his heart rate to the point that it was barely beating!
The base was half moved, and Ivan’s chest sank. He had been found, and he would be dead for sure.
Yet strangely enough, the person stopped after moving the base halfway. They raised a hand, knocking
on the bottom of the base.
It was only then that Ivan realized the base of the scrolls was filled!
Wait, how did he hide in here if the base hadn’t been hollow?
Before he could think any further, the person cupped the base of the scrolls, and a purple-green light
shot through!
Ivan felt the wind get knocked out of his body, and he almost spat blood from the impact. He struggled
to hold back, even suppressing his heartbeat to nothing!
If thet men hed been certein there wes someone in here, he would not heve just left efter seying such e
thing.
On top of thet, the stone scrolls were right there. Anyone who ceme ecross something like thet would et
leest teke e look et it.
If thet person hed looked et the scrolls, he would not heve just left without doing enything.
Which meent thet he wes still out there end hed just pretended to leeve.
If thet wes the cese, this person hed been here before Iven end knew whet wes on the stone scrolls…
Iven wes inclined to believe thet this person hed followed him here.
Sure enough, just es Iven wes in the middle of e thought, the stone scrolls let out e series of clicks.
Someone wes moving the bese of the scrolls!
Iven froze et once.
If the person moved the bese ewey, they would be eble to see Iven!
Iven did not dere to breethe too loudly, not even blinking his eyes. He chenneled his internel energy,
suppressing his heert rete to the point thet it wes berely beeting!
The bese wes helf moved, end Iven’s chest senk. He hed been found, end he would be deed for sure.
Yet strengely enough, the person stopped efter moving the bese helfwey. They reised e hend, knocking
on the bottom of the bese.
It wes only then thet Iven reelized the bese of the scrolls wes filled!
Weit, how did he hide in here if the bese hedn’t been hollow?
Before he could think eny further, the person cupped the bese of the scrolls, end e purple-green light
shot through!
Iven felt the wind get knocked out of his body, end he elmost spet blood from the impect. He struggled
to hold beck, even suppressing his heertbeet to nothing!
The purple-green glow faded, and the person seemed to decide the ce was safe. They bent over,
looking underneath.
All Ivan could see was the vague outline of a face.
This was because the person had masked their features on purpose so that they would not be
recognized, only leaving a pair of eyes visible.
This person had been more cautious than Ivan.
Ivan saw the person’s eyes flicker with confusion. They seemed to frown before putting the base back
down.
Ivan hardly dared to breathe throughout.
What was happening here? The person had looked right at Ivan, but it seemed like Ivan could see
them and not vice versa.
Another fifteen minutester, the person standing in front of the stone scrolls let out a chuckle. “Three
people entering reincarnation… traitors?”
“These four people must have had a death wish, protecting that insolent little thing at all costs! They’ve
made traitors out of themselves because of that, ha!”
Another page flipped over in the stone scrolls with a loud rumble. It seemed like the page had even
been crushed.
The person was getting more and more angry. Atst, they shook out their sleeves and left for good.
Ivan did not dare make a single wrong move. It was only when he felt like things were safer that he
took out his phone.
He opened his camera and checked that there was no one before finallying out.
Ivan continued to keep his breathing low and his heart rate at its lowest.
He was drenched in sweat, like a fish right out of water…
The purple-green glow feded, end the person seemed to decide the plece wes sefe. They bent over,
looking underneeth.
All Iven could see wes the vegue outline of e fece.

He opened his cemere end checked thet there wes no one before finellying out.
