Lin Fan snapped awake, his heart pounding with alarm. The laughter had come far too suddenly, shocking his soul and leaving him bewildered.
Then he glanced at Shi Hao, who was picking up the wine jug. As though realizing something, his face darkened.
"Little brother, you really keep hopping back and forth along the edge of death. You've lured the enemy here." Lin Fan sighed.
Shi Hao looked sheepish. Even if he wanted to put the wine jug down now, it was already too late.
"He's here!" The woman beside the Stone Table grew solemn. Mysterious as she was, even she shuddered as she searched for the source of the laughter.
Her brow split open, revealing a beautiful vertical eye, seemingly a heavenly eye. She scrutinized the void, then looked toward the cosmic Star Sea.
At once, divine light shot from her brow, peering up into the Nine Heavens and down into the Nine Netherworlds. It shone brilliantly, reaching every distant corner.
Even so, the woman still could not find him, nor catch any trace of his figure.
"Heh, heh..." The laughter sounded again, carrying the same chill that pierced straight into their hearts and made their hair stand on end.
This time, however, it was not merely laughter. A divine thought came with it, saying, "I've finally found you!"
Those words made Shi Hao's skin crawl. All he had done was touch a wine jug. Why would someone come to his door to kill him?
"Oh? Another anomaly. I might as well dispose of you too while I'm at it!" The voice came again, utterly calm.
Clearly, he meant Lin Fan.
Hearing that, Lin Fan's face went completely black. He cursed inwardly, *You want to go after Shi Hao? What the hell does that have to do with me?
