"He's dead?"
Ji Ruxue's pretty face turned pale, the Wei Surname Youth's scream still echoing in her mind.
Her bedchamber was pitch-black, without a trace of light. At that moment, Ji Ruxue felt ice-cold from head to toe.
Even her soul was trembling.
But... hadn't her Ancestor and the clan members said the Wei Surname Youth had left to gain experience many years ago?
"Maybe it was a coincidence."
"That wasn't his voice."
Ji Ruxue murmured. The Wei Surname Youth had entered the starry sky so many years ago; she had no idea where he was now.
She had heard those inexplicable sounds because she was cultivating the Time Great Dao and resonating with time.
But she couldn't possibly hear something from that far away.
Ji Ruxue thought her reasoning made sense. After calming herself, she continued cultivating.
"You're not him!"
"Ah..."
Another scream rang in Ji Ruxue's ears, jolting her awake.
This time, the voice didn't belong to the Wei Surname Man, but to... the Peerless Youth.
One of the Immortal Dynasty Trio back then.
He was also one of Ji Ruxue's closest friends.
"Wenzhi is dead too?"
"How could this be!"
Ji Ruxue felt ice-cold all over. She instantly dismissed her earlier guess.
Once might be a coincidence, but twice couldn't possibly be one.
Both of her close friends were dead.
The place of their deaths was very likely the Ji Clan.
This must have happened some time ago. While cultivating the Ancestor Qin Method, she had accidentally resonated with time and heard some sounds from the past.
They hadn't come from beyond the heavens.
The thought made Ji Ruxue's scalp crawl.
What kind of place was the Ji Clan?
Not to mention that Li Ye's Great Dao Clone had always been stationed on the Immortal Spirit Continent,
