The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting a slight warmth on the two of them. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue packed their bags and set off on the road back to the mountain.
However, as they got closer to the location of the Crane Immortal, their unease grew stronger. Those pairs of eyes seemed to follow them like shadows, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Shen Jingqi nodded, his brow furrowed: "I feel it too. Who are these people? Why are they watching us?"
The two quickened their pace, eager to reach the Crane Immortal and seek refuge. However, when they finally arrived at the foot of the Immortal Mountain where the Crane Immortal resided, they found it lifeless, as if devoid of any sign of life.
"Where is the Crane Immortal? I hope nothing has happened to him?" Lin Yue asked worriedly.
