Inside the Chu Mansion, it was pitch black.
Young Prince Tu glanced around but found no sign of human presence.
"Are you sure that Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing entered this house?"
Young Prince Tu asked, suspicious.
"Absolutely certain. We’ve bribed the Imperial Palace guards. They said Xin Lin and Chu Beiqing didn’t get on the Chu Mansion’s carriage but instead took the General Zuo’s Mansion’s carriage. The carriage from the General Mansion brought them here."
A guard stated confidently.
With a wave of Young Prince Tu’s hand, several guards under his command swiftly rushed into the mansion.
After a thorough search, nothing was found.
Not a soul, not even a ghostly shadow.
Could it be that they discovered sothing and escaped early?
Young Prince Tu frowned.
A series of unknown cold winds swept in from all directions, sending chills down the spine.
"Young Prince, why do I feel like soone is blowing air by my ear?"
A guard from the Prince Manor shivered involuntarily.
He glanced back but saw nothing behind him.
"Nonsense! Where would there be soone? Everyone, stay alert. Tonight, I must see the body of Chu Beiqing."
His master had sent him to collect Chu Beiqing’s corpse, and he had already been delayed for several days. Coupled with the death of Chu Miaoyun, if he couldn’t return with Chu Beiqing’s head, he truly wouldn’t know how to explain to his master.
Just as he finished speaking, Young Prince Tu felt a chilly sensation on his ear.
He shuddered and turned around.
Behind him was only the pitch-black night.
Yet he clearly sensed soone blowing air near his ear.
Hiss—
Another gust of cold wind.
"Who’s there! Stop pretending to be ghosts!"
Young Prince Tu shouted angrily.
The empty courtyard echoed with his furious voice.
A scream suddenly ca from the northeast direction.
Young Prince Tu and his guards were startled.
He signaled and led several guards to swiftly move toward the northeast.
As they approached the northeast of the Chu Mansion, they saw a guard’s corpse hanging from an old pine tree.
His face was frozen in shock, with a bloody hole in his chest, looking terrifying in death.
Just monts ago, several guards had entered different rooms in the Chu Mansion to investigate.
"Young Prince, it’s not good, three of our brothers are dead."
Several more guards rushed back hurriedly.
The faces of the guards and Young Prince Tu suddenly turned grim.
Clearly, there was no one inside the mansion.
Could it be that there really is sothing in the mansion...
Young Prince Tu pondered in confusion.
Suddenly, his scalp tingled.
With a swoosh, a cold sword shot out from behind him.
Missing by just a hair.
Young Prince Tu’s figure vanished, using the Earth Tunneling Technique.
But the guard beside him wasn’t so lucky, as the sword pierced through his skull, splattering his brains.
In just a quarter of an hour, Young Prince Tu had lost five or six skilled n.
The most infuriating thing was he had no idea where the opponent was hiding or how they struck.
"Who? Who on earth is there? Stop pretending to be ghosts!"
Young Prince Tu’s eyes deepened.
The only response was the soundless darkness.
This hollow Chu Mansion watched them from the shadows, as if ready to open its mouth and devour them at any mont.
"Young Prince, this house is too eerie. I’ve heard... I’ve heard it was once a Haunted House, where many died. Maybe we should..."
One of the guards suggested fearfully.
He had also heard before that the father and daughter of the Chu Family lived in a notorious Haunted House, where those who entered never ca out.
