After negotiating with the temple's guardian monks, Chu Yu, Yue Jiefei, and Amman entered Jianchusi. The bodies of several monks who had been killed by the assassin were neatly arranged side by side on the ground in the main courtyard, with a few monks standing beside them, their faces pale and their voices low and uneasy as they discussed among themselves.
Chu Yu instructed Yue Jiefei to examine the bodies and then inquired about the situation from the monks nearby. According to the monks who witnessed the assassin's killings, the assassin was entirely cloaked in black attire, with a broad-brimmed hat on his head and a piece of black satin covering the lower half of his face beneath the hat, completely concealing his features. However, each time the assassin swung his sword, a chilling, sharp, and prolonged shriek was emitted, reminiscent of the cry of a crane.
