There was nobody behind her… Just a few vines which were swaying due to the breeze. The vines were so thin that even birds could not stand on it, hence, it could not support the weight of a person.
She wet her lips and pulled out a sword from her waist. She lifted it in the air and swung it around but suddenly swung to the back!
The sword shone brightly in the dark and easily swept through the wind. If there were anything behind her, her stroke would have been able to reveal its presence.
But when her sword swung, it touched nothing but air.
Could it have been a ghost?
Gu Xijiu squinted her eyes and flicked her finger. A light blue talisman appeared at her finger tips, rotated in midair, then flew around her entire body before returning back into her palm.
She sniffed her palm and smelled nothing.
