Chen Mu sat on the rooftop, clutching the forty-one Zuming Talismans, restlessly uneasy until dawn.
He stared at the Inner City all night and did not see a single ghost. But that faint, chilling sensation couldn't fool anyone.
Not until the sun was high overhead, and the scorching heat of noon dispersed the coldness.
Only then did Chen Mu jump down from the rooftop.
As he walked to the door, his figure paused, and the hand reaching to open it drew back.
"Wait a bit longer," he murmured.
The entire Nanyang Prefecture City was unsettlingly quiet.
For three consecutive days, Chen Mu hid at home and focused solely on increasing his proficiency.
The Heavenly Serpent Shape Cultivation Technique improved rapidly. His Shape-shifting Technique also broke through to Second Rank, allowing him to adjust his height and build.
But none of this could keep Chen Mu happy for long.
