The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2542 - 2517: Strange Sounds

Upon hearing that the maid would serve outside the door, Lin Bai immediately said, "No need, you can leave! I don’t need you to protect me."

The girl showed a look of embarrassment in her eyes.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "If it would be difficult for you to explain, I can go speak to your High Priest!"

The girl hurriedly said, "No, no, please Lord Dongfang, don’t go to the High Priest, otherwise, the High Priest will surely think I didn’t protect you well and will blame me!"

Lin Bai said, "Then you should leave!"

The girl showed a look of embarrassment, a bit at a loss!

Seeing the girl’s unusual demeanor, Lin Bai curiously asked, "It’s not just about protecting me, is it? There must be other purposes from your High Priest."

The girl hastily said, "No, no, the High Priest just ordered me to protect you well!"

Lin Bai turned his head, coldly said, "Since you’re unwilling to tell me or leave, I will have to go to the High Priest myself."

After speaking, Lin Bai was about to leave Fengyue Residence.

The girl became anxious again, watching Lin Bai’s departing figure, she hurriedly said, "Lord Dongfang, Lord Dongfang, I, I, I..."

Lin Bai stood at the door, his back to the girl, coldly said, "If you are in difficulty, tell me, I certainly won’t make things hard for you!"

The girl hesitated repeatedly, saying, "The High Priest indeed ordered me to protect Lord Dongfang, simultaneously... also let me..."

The girl hesitated to speak.

Lin Bai pressed, "Also let you do what?"

The girl gritted her teeth, saying, "Also let me watch Lord Dongfang, so that he won’t mind any sounds heard at night!"

"Also don’t let Lord Dongfang leave Fengyue Residence!"

Lin Bai frowned at the girl.

The girl hurriedly explained, "Please calm down, Lord Dongfang, the High Priest means no harm, it’s just that after nightfall at the Heishan Mountain Range, the surroundings become exceptionally strange!"

"Very strange sounds can be heard!"

"In the past, warriors who came to the Heishan Tribe as guests heard these sounds in the deep of the night, and recklessly left Fengyue Residence, left the Heishan Tribe, entered the Heishan Mountain Range, and almost every one of them mysteriously died in the Heishan Mountain Range by the next day!"

"To prevent such occurrences from happening again, the High Priest ordered me to protect you!"

The girl said lightly.

"It seems the High Priest has good intentions." Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

After hearing the girl’s explanation, Lin Bai said, "Alright, then you should stay, I will not leave here tonight!"

But the girl stood at the door, did not leave either, her big eyes looked oddly at Lin Bai, constantly inspecting him.

Her cultivation was originally not high, she couldn’t protect Lin Bai at all.

The High Priest sent her merely for surveillance on Lin Bai.

While Lin Bai sat cross-legged in the corner, like an old monk in meditation, indifferent to worldly matters.

Their state continued for two hours!

"Roar, roar, roar——"

Suddenly at this moment, deep into the night, Lin Bai’s ears were filled with strange roaring sounds.

Lin Bai awakened from his closed-eye meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, looked out the window.

The girl, seeing Lin Bai awake, as if attracted by the roaring sounds, immediately said to Lin Bai: "Please don’t overthink, Lord Dongfang, this is the strange sound I mentioned!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, then closed his eyes.

Since the Heishan Tribe doesn’t want Lin Bai to leave, Lin Bai is not inclined to ask further about these matters.

Just waiting for dawn tomorrow, Lin Bai would leave the Heishan Tribe to search for Li Ge’s trace.

But shortly after Lin Bai closed his eyes, the roaring sounds continued.

After half an hour, Lin Bai asked, "Will these roars continue from midnight until dawn?"

The girl nodded, "Yes."

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, "That is indeed somewhat annoying!"

The girl said, "These strange sounds occur every night, and it’s because of these roars, warriors cannot meditate peacefully, hence the cultivation of martial artists in the Heishan Tribe is not high!"

"Now that Lord Dongfang is awakened by these roaring sounds, I suppose you won’t be able to meditate peacefully anymore!"

The girl weakly said to Lin Bai.

"Roar, roar, roar——"

"Howl, howl, howl——"

The strange roaring sounds kept coming, and the sounds grew louder and louder, deafening.

Lin Bai felt as if these sounds were getting closer to the Heishan Tribe!

Lin Bai reopened his eyes, stood up from the ground, came to the window, and looked into the pitch-black darkness within the Heishan Tribe.

"Lord Dongfang..."

The girl saw Lin Bai moving, immediately became a bit anxious.

Lin Bai said, "Don’t worry, I just came to the window for some air, and have no intention of leaving."

The girl heard this and let out a breath of relief.

Lin Bai stood at the window, looking at the current Heishan Mountain Range.

For some reason, the sky that was previously scattered with stars now seemed to be covered by a giant hand, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars.

Now the entire Heishan Mountain Range was covered in a darkness that couldn’t be ignited by flames!

"Is this some kind of demon beast’s roaring sound?"

Lin Bai stood by the window, and exclaimed in his heart.

The girl watched Lin Bai’s every move.

Seeing Lin Bai stand by the window in silence, she too let out a sigh of relief, as long as Lin Bai doesn’t leave Fengyue Residence.
