Su Mu took a deep breath and slowly made his way toward the abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, following the direction indicated by the divination.
His heart raced with a mix of tension and excitement, for the omens suggested that this temple held key clues to unraveling the mystery.
When Su Mu finally arrived at his destination, he couldn't help but gasp at the sight before him.
The temple was in a state of utter disrepair, surrounded by rampant weeds that nearly obscured the path leading to its entrance. Inside, thick cobwebs clung to every surface, as if telling tales of time's passage and a forgotten past.
Gathering his composure, Su Mu cautiously stepped into this eerie and cold domain.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, an intense chill washed over him like a tide, penetrating through his clothing and making him shiver involuntarily.
Yet, his overwhelming curiosity compelled him to press on.
He widened his eyes, determined not to miss any detail as he scrutinized every corner of the temple.
Just then, his gaze was drawn to a crumbling wall covered in an array of strange, densely packed symbols that resembled some ancient and mysterious incantation.
Su Mu was no stranger to such symbols.
In his youth, he had the fortune of being taught by a reclusive master who resided in the mountains, learning much about the essence of talismanic arts from him.
Now, confronted with these familiar symbols, excitement surged within him—perhaps the key to solving the puzzle lay hidden here!
Without hesitation, Su Mu leaned closer and focused intently on deciphering the inscriptions on the wall.
After much contemplation, he was astonished to discover that these symbols bore a striking resemblance to those of the legendary Xuanming Sect!
This astonishing revelation only strengthened his conviction that Xuanming Sect was intricately connected to this matter.
Thinking of this, Su Mu quickly took out his phone, adjusted the angle, and with a click, captured the talisman on the wall.
He knew that these photos would become crucial evidence that needed to be studied thoroughly to uncover the immense secrets hidden behind them...
At that moment, amidst the surrounding silence, a faint sound suddenly broke through—soft footsteps that seemed as gentle as falling leaves.
Though the sound was subtle, it thundered in his ears like a clap of thunder, causing his heart to tighten and his senses to sharpen instantly.
Not good, someone is coming!
He reacted swiftly, holding his breath without hesitation and stealthily hiding behind a massive pillar that required several people to encircle it.
Pressing tightly against the pillar, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes became sharp like those of a hawk, quietly observing every movement around him.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed by like a ghost, moving with such incredible speed that it was almost impossible to catch a glimpse of it.
Su Mu's heart sank in alarm; he understood that someone with such agility could not be a good person!
In just that fleeting moment, he caught sight of a corner of a dark robe fluttering in the wind before the shadow vanished like lightning behind another wall that looked precarious and seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
Su Mu dared not let his guard down; he was acutely aware of the danger he was in. A moment's carelessness could lead to dire consequences.
Thus, he cautiously peeked out from behind the pillar, widening his eyes to miss no detail as he carefully observed the surroundings.
However, just as he was fully focused, the shadow reappeared without warning.
This time, it held a gleaming dagger that shimmered coldly as it lunged straight toward Su Mu!
In an instant, relying on years of experience and sharp reflexes honed in the martial world, Su Mu sidestepped just in time to narrowly evade this potentially fatal strike.
"Who dares to ambush me here?" Su Mu shouted, his eyes wide with fury.
His voice echoed across the vast space, filled with boundless anger and authority.
The shadow did not respond to Su Mu's challenge; instead, it silently launched another attack.
A sharp dagger glinted ominously in the darkness, flashing like a venomous snake striking with deadly speed, each move aimed directly at Su Mu's vital points.
Faced with such fierce and relentless attacks, Su Mu dared not show any signs of negligence.
He focused entirely on employing the exquisite martial arts he had honed over many years, moving gracefully through the shadow's deadly strikes, engaging in a breathtaking and intense battle.
In this long-abandoned and dilapidated ancient temple, the sounds of whistling fists and feet breaking through the air filled the atmosphere.
The two combatants exchanged blows without yielding, sometimes engaging in close combat, only to suddenly separate and re-establish distance for a standoff.
Although Su Mu was renowned for his exceptional medical skills, his martial prowess was equally formidable.
At this moment, he found himself evenly matched against the shadow in their fierce confrontation.
However, the shadow's techniques were indeed vicious and ruthless, executed with lightning speed, clearly indicating that it was a professional assassin trained rigorously.
Yet, as the battle wore on, Su Mu began to notice a subtle clue—though the shadow's moves were extremely fierce, upon closer inspection, he realized they changed very little, seemingly composed of a few relatively simple techniques strung together.
This realization sparked a thought in Su Mu's mind: could it be that this seemingly formidable shadow was merely an ordinary disciple of the Xuanming Sect with a lowly status?
With this in mind, Su Mu began to formulate a detailed plan.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately exposed a subtle flaw in his defense.
The shadow that had been lurking in the darkness, seeing an opportunity, wasted no time and lunged forward with a sharp dagger aimed directly at Su Mu's chest like a flash of lightning.
In that critical moment, Su Mu's figure flickered, moving as swiftly as the wind. He reached out and firmly grasped the wrist of the shadow holding the dagger, exerting force and twisting it violently.
Caught off guard, the shadow felt a sharp pain shoot through its wrist, causing it to lose grip on the dagger, which clattered loudly against the hard ground.
However, Su Mu's attack did not stop there.
Seizing the moment, he launched a powerful kick aimed at the shadow's abdomen with all his strength.
The kick was immensely powerful, sending the shadow flying through the air. It soared like a kite with its string cut, tracing an arc before crashing heavily to the ground several meters away, letting out a muffled and pained groan.
Just as Su Mu was about to step forward to subdue it completely, something unexpected happened.
The shadow, displaying astonishing willpower, quickly struggled to rise from the ground and turned to flee in panic without looking back.
Faced with the shadow's escape, Su Mu chose not to pursue immediately.
He understood clearly that even if he chased after it relentlessly at that moment, capturing it would not be guaranteed.
Moreover, what concerned him more was why this mysterious shadow had risked entering this place in the first place.
Was there some hidden conspiracy or secret lurking behind its actions?
