Chapter 1156 Chosen By The Heavens


    The person hung on the doorframe was not where the danger wasing from, but just a gimmick to


    trick the eye.


    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.


    Something shed in front of his eyes all of a sudden, and there seemed to be some space at the base


    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.


    Ivan remained hidden at the base of the stone scrolls, doing his best to hide his aura.


    He did not believe that the person was gone.


    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!


    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…
