Chapter 1328 Quietly Tracking
Layers of eerie fog covered Mount Everest, and ghost beasts roamed the area.
At that moment, ke shielded Jean while scanning the surroundings for any sign of Lilly.
"I can''t find any trace of Lilly here." He furrowed his brow as he swiftly killed another ghost beast.
While he found the ghost beasts manageable individually, their overwhelming numbers turned the task
into a relentless battle. They surrounded him from all sides, so he had no choice but to confront and
eradicate them. Although he had the option to use the teleportation formation to evade these creatures,
doing so risked overlooking any possible clues or traces that Lilly might have left behind.
Jean, breathing heavily from the exertion, persevered in killing the ghost beasts, striving to grow
stronger as quickly as possible. Although ke found them manageable, they presented a greater
challenge for her.
"At this rate, we won''t uncover any trace of Lilly," she worried. "The multitude of ghost beasts here
might overshadow any clues."
"Killing the ghost beasts will create traces. It''s the anomaly of Mount Everest and our only search
method," he replied.
It was a crude method, but there seemed to be no alternative.
Suddenly, Jean eximed, "Over there!"
ke swiftly turned to see the eerie fog shifting in a direction as if all the ghost beasts were converging
there. Remnants of in ghost beasts littered the periphery.
"Lilly?!" He glimpsed a glimmer of hope. He raised his sword, cutting a path through the cluster of ghost
beasts!
Crawford Ancestor was on the verge of copse. Despite being aware of Mount Everest''s peril, the
reality was far more dangerous than anticipated. The danger didn''t stem from the ghost beasts but from
the frenzied killing. The innocuous, eerie fog enveloping them was the true hazard.
Several times, he teetered on the brink of losing consciousness, only pulling back from the frenzy of
killing through his unwavering determination to find Lilly. Yet, even the search for Lilly had be an
all-consuming fixation.
When he was on the verge of exhaustion, disoriented by the bloodshed, a sudden white light pierced
through the eerie fog, and Crawford Ancestor abruptly regained rity.
"Crawford Ancestor?!" Jean was surprised and somewhat disappointed. She was ted that he had
inadvertently rescued himself. Yet, she was disheartened because she still had not located her
daughter.
ke spoke in a deep voice, "Let''s make our way out of here."
Crawford Ancestor wore a bitter smile and replied, "Where can we go? This ce is teeming with ghost
beasts."
ke shook his head and said, "Ghost beasts consist of different poptions, and where these
poptions intersect, there are brief vacuum zones." He had discovered this after observing for a long
time, although it didn''t seem immediately useful.
The three of them had no other option but to venture deeper into the area, their anxiety growing.
Crawford Ancestor added, "My soul contract beast is following Lilly. If the small ghost beast is still
nearby, tracking it should lead us to her." He caught his breath after stopping in a rtively calm
vacuum zone, offering a glimmer of hope.
This was weed news for ke, as it meant there was at least one glimmer of hope.
Jean asked, "Crawford Ancestor, have you sensed the possible location of the small ghost beast?"
Crawford Ancestor nodded, gazing at the sky. While not entirely sure of the direction, his experience
guided him. "I believe it should be this way."
This was a much more practical approach than ke''s attempts to find any sign in the vast, ghost-
beast-filled eerie fog. After a brief rest, the three of them immediately resumed their search in that
direction.

Ivan found himself trapped among the pack of ghost beasts, unsure of how many days he had been
locked in battle. His eyes were bloodshot. He couldn''t help but wonder, If the ghost beasts were

already so difficult to deal with, what chance did Lilly stand, having entered the area with serious
injuries? Despite his past experience venturing through the eerie fog beneath Mount Cape, he still
worried about her.
Suddenly, he felt a familiar presence. It was a sensation he had developed after being hunted by the
ck-robed man for several years. Whenever the ck-robed man was within a mile, Ivan had an
inexplicable intuition. Ivan''s heart raced, and he immediately hid himself within the eerie fog. With no
defense or movement, his body began to be eroded by the eerie fog. He had endured this pain before
and could withstand it now.
He soon spotted a Darkshadow not far away. It appeared bewildered, scanning its surroundings before
heading in one direction.
Ivan felt oddly at home on Mount Everest, as though he knew how to shield himself from the eerie fog
and keep the ghost beasts at bay. Suppressing his breath to the lowest level, he silently trailed the
Darkshadow. Ivan had a hunch that the ck-robed man possessed crucial information, and by
following him, he might find Lilly.
He dared not release even a hint of his spirit energy, as any fluctuation would be like a beacon in the
darkness, easily detected by the ck-robed man and the ghost beast pack.
Evading the ghost beasts posed a challenging but surmountable task. However, the relentless erosion
of the eerie fog on his body couldn''t be ignored. Gradually, his skin began to deteriorate, exposing a
significant area of flesh with blood trickling onto the ground. The eerie fog was so dense that he failed
to notice the swift absorption of the blood by the earth...
After approximately ten minutes of pursuit, the barely discernible figure of the ck-robed man ahead
vanished.
Ivan''s heart sank, thinking, This is not good...
