However, when Xu Ping'an's words fell silent, he received no response.
"Could it be my illusion? I clearly felt three times that a soul power swept over me. Could I have perceived it wrongly?" Xu Ping'an muttered to himself.
Each of the three times he entered and exited the valley, he felt soul power sweep over him.
This feeling was definitely not mistaken.
The first time could be disregarded, but how to explain the subsequent two times?
Besides this statue, there was nothing else here.
The only possibility was that the statue was alive.
"Senior, stop pretending, I know it's you," Xu Ping'an continued to transmit his message to the Xuanwu through soul sound transmission.
Still, there was no reaction.
This made Xu Ping'an doubt once again whether he was mistaken.
Was this Xuanwu statue, just a stele?
Not a living thing?
"No, my feeling must be correct, there is definitely something wrong with this statue," Xu Ping'an muttered to himself again.
