One person: I am Lin Bai, good at using a hundred skills!

Lin Bai frowned, his inner vigilance reaching its peak.

He quickly recalled the various anomalies he encountered during the day and the rumors about the Maoshan Sect, and had some vague guesses.

It seems that someone is targeting me.

Are they some kind of demons or ghosts, or some mysterious immortal cultivator? What do they want to do?

Countless questions flashed through his mind. Lin Bai took a deep breath and slowly got out of bed.

Anyway, I couldn't sleep. Instead of passively taking a beating here, I might as well take the initiative and find out who this person is.

He put on his clothes quietly and quickly pulled on his pants. The soft carpet absorbed the sound of his footsteps, making his movements silent.

Lin Bai walked to the door calmly and quietly put his ear to the door. He held his breath and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.

An extremely faint chilly air quietly drifted in through the crack in the door.

The breath was vague, like the whisper of a ghost, which was creepy.

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes. He could clearly sense that the negative energy was gradually approaching him and becoming stronger and stronger.

Obviously, this has gone beyond the scope of ordinary ghosts. The other party's cultivation is probably unfathomable.

"Interesting... Who on earth is this immortal who is so eager to meet me?"

Lin Bai sneered and circulated the Qi in his body.

A warm energy instantly flowed through his limbs and bones, lifting his spirits.

Then he quickly formed the starting hand seal of the Immortal Sword Technique, held the "Qinglan Sword" in his palm, and was ready to perform sword skills at any time.

It seems that tonight is a good opportunity to show off my skills.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and suddenly opened the door!

In that split second, he felt a flash of green light before his eyes, and a wisp of light green smoke appeared in the corridor outside the door.

The green smoke was like a veil, floating in the air, winding and twisting. From a distance, it looked like a green ribbon.

"Hmm? Are you trying to lead me there?"

Lin Bai was slightly startled, then reacted.

He looked carefully and found that the green smoke seemed to have a spirit. It was floating forward slowly, as if guiding him in the direction.

This was clearly a trick set up by some master, intended to lure him to a specific location.

And the other party's cultivation is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary wizard.

The person who was able to set up such a battle without Lin Bai noticing must be at least a well-known figure in the world of extraordinary people.

For a moment, Lin Bai became more and more curious about the identity of this mysterious master.

"I want to see which powerful person is going to such great lengths to play hide-and-seek with me."

With a confident arc on his lips, Lin Bai's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

He quickly returned to the room, took out a windbreaker containing a hidden magic weapon from his suitcase, and put it on neatly.

He searched carefully again to make sure that he had not missed anything important, then strode out of the room.

After locking the door, he took a deep breath and quietly followed the wisp of smoke to the end of the corridor.

The night was as dark as ink, and there was no one in the dark corridor. The murals hanging on the wall looked a little weird under the dim light.

The thick carpet absorbed all sounds, making Lin Bai's footsteps silent.

He held his breath and looked around vigilantly, but he did not see any suspicious figures within his sight.

The green smoke was still floating in front of us, vaguely.

It sometimes gathers and sometimes disperses, like an invisible guide, leading Lin Bai to an unknown place.

Following the direction indicated by the green smoke, Lin Bai soon arrived at the hotel's elevator.

What surprised him was that both the up and down buttons had completely stopped working.

Realizing this, Lin Bai frowned slightly, and his doubts grew even more.

He thought for a moment and finally decided to give up the elevator and walk towards the fire escape nearby.

The trace of blue smoke also disappeared behind the fire door.

"I want to see where this mysterious master is going to lead me."

With a hint of excitement, Lin Bai pushed open the heavy fire door.

Behind the door is a straight staircase extending downwards, and it is unknown where it leads to.

Under the dim light, Qingyan's figure had disappeared.

Instead, there was an increasingly strong and cold aura that spread upwards along the corridor.

Lin Bai took a deep breath. He could feel that the other party was right in front of him, waiting for his arrival.

"Interesting, do you want to meet me alone? Well, let him see what Lin is capable of."

With a hint of arrogance on his lips, Lin Bai strode down the stairs.

Level one, level two, level three...

His steps became faster and faster, gradually turning into a green afterimage. His lightness skills made his movements nimble and agile.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Bai had already gone down seven or eight floors. However, the corridor seemed to have no end and continued to extend downwards.

Lin Bai frowned, then he realized that this might not be an ordinary fire escape.

What the other party had arranged was clearly a different dimension that was isolated from reality. Here, the concepts of time and space had lost their meaning.

"That's quite interesting..."

With a sigh, Lin Bai quickened his pace. He no longer paid attention to the steps under his feet, but focused all his attention on the road ahead.

Soon, with a dazzling light, Lin Bai's eyes suddenly became clear.

Unexpectedly, he had unknowingly walked through the entire hotel and arrived at a narrow street outside the back door.

The night was as dark as ink, and the wind was cold and bleak. Occasionally, three or two homeless people would curl up in the corner and shiver.

The shabby street lights were dim and flickering, casting messy shadows on the mottled bricks and tiles.

And in this desolate scene, a strange figure was quietly passing through the alley.

It was a tall, thin black figure in a black robe, flashing by in the night like a flash of lightning.

"Um?"

Lin Bai's pupils shrank slightly, and an idea flashed in his mind.

He instantly realized that this mysterious person might be the target he was looking for tonight!

The next second, he rushed out of the alley like an arrow. The surrounding scenery turned into shadows before his eyes, and only the black shadow in front of him became clearer and clearer.

Lin Bai gritted his teeth and moved his legs rapidly, bursting out at an astonishing speed.

In a flash, he had passed through several streets and alleys, moving flexibly among the densely packed buildings.

Sometimes it leaped onto the roof and then quickly fell down. Sometimes it ran along the wall, just barely brushing past the street lamp. Along the way, it raised dust and startled the dogs to bark.

However, he was completely unaware of this, and his eyes never left the dark shadow in front of him.

That was his only goal at the moment, the secret that was destined to be revealed tonight.

Looking at the black shadow that appeared and disappeared suddenly and dodged quickly, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes. Through the other party's superb body skills, he had already guessed that this person was most likely related to the Maoshan lineage.
