Bai Yiyi extended her senses around them, but she did not detect any killing intent.
Even when Uchiha Shin had been able to sense it earlier, Bai Yiyi had felt nothing, because Uchiha Shin's perception was stronger.
"We need to be more careful. The situation here is far from simple, and there's no telling what might be hidden within," Uchiha Shin said, staring warily around them.
These wooden men, as well as the mechanisms from earlier, were certainly not something ordinary people could have created. A powerful force must have arranged all this here.
It was either the work of Divine Mechanism Manor, Jade Tower, or Heavenly Wind Terrace.
As for which one, that was unclear.
The two continued to hold their ground, but even until nightfall, no one appeared.
"Do you think those Golden Immortal experts who came in before were all killed by these mechanisms and wooden men?" Bai Yiyi asked again as she stood there.
Uchiha Shin nodded. "That's highly likely. But after they were killed, there should have been corpses or blood left behind. Yet there's nothing here. That means someone must be cleaning this place, so people should be watching us from the shadows."
Bai Yiyi nodded at that, becoming even more vigilant.
The two continued resisting, and before they knew it, dawn was nearly upon them.
Uchiha Shin and Bai Yiyi both felt utterly exhausted by now. They had held on for so long that anyone would have been tired.
Yet they were in high spirits. Once daylight came, the wooden men's power would gradually fade. Their strength had already been greatly depleted, and then there would be no need to fear them any longer.
However, an intense killing intent drifted into the room.
This time, not only did Uchiha Shin sense it—Bai Yiyi
