Chapter 1683: The Music of the Zither!


    Chu Liuyue took a few steps forward, but the voice was still very distant as if it wereing from extremely far away.


    Like a feather, it brushed gently across her heart, tickling her.


    She walked forward again and stared intently at the ck wall.


    Seeing her actions and expression, Chu Ning suddenly asked, “Yue’er, what are you doing?”


    Stunned, Chu Liuyue came back to her senses.


    Meeting her father’s expression, she suddenly realized something. “Father, didn’t you hear anything?”


    Chu Ning looked confused. “I don’t hear anything.”


    Chu Liuyue knitted her brows. “Come closer and listen carefully.”


    Chu Ning walked over and stood beside her, listening intently. After a moment, he still shook his head. “Nothing.”


    He didn’t hear anything.


    A subtle feeling surged in Chu Liuyue’s heart. Could it be that my father can’t hear it because he is only a stage-one warrior, and his hearing isn’t as good as mine?


    She nced at Rong Xiu.


    The two of them stared at each other.


    Rong Xiu asked, “Yue’er, what did you hear?”


    Chu Liuyue’s heart sank slightly. “You can’t hear it either?”


    Rong Xiu nodded.


    Chu Liuyue pursed her lips tightly. It would’ve been fine if Father alone couldn’t hear it, but now, even the stronger Rong Xiu didn’t hear it. This… Could I really be the only one who can hear this sound?


    She closed her eyes, making sure she wasn’t hearing things.


    Although the voice was low and indistinct, it was real.


    She paused before saying, “…It sounds like someone is ying the zither.”


    The sound was pleasant and moving. The rhythm was light, but it was very gripping.


    “That sound came from inside the wall.” As Chu Liuyue spoke, she walked forward again.


    The closer she got to the wall, the more terrifying, the more intense, and the crazier the murderous aura became. But perhaps because of the rocks, she didn’t feel too ufortable.


    She quickly adapted to the environment.


    Chu Ning and Rong Xiu followed.


    Rong Xiu was fine, but Chu Ning’s face quickly turned pale.


    Although he now had the Indestructible Holy Body, he indeed still only had stage-one warrior cultivation—this was irrefutable. Apart from having an advantage in terms of Holy Body, he was still far from ordinary true gods in other aspects.


    Chu Liuyue said, “Father, you don’t have toe over. I’ll go back after I figure out what’s going on with this thing. Tuan Zi, go apany them first.”


    Tuan Zi nodded obediently and skipped to Chu Ning’s side, pulling his hand. “Grandpa Chu, I’m here!”


    Chu Ning already knew Tuan Zi’s true identity, but every time he saw her cute appearance, he forgot about this matter. All that was left was love and doting.


    He said quickly, “Yes, good! Good! Tuan Zi is the most obedient!”


    He patted Tuan Zi’s head gently, loving it.


    But upon second thought, he said, “Grandpa Chu is fine. Tuan Zi, you should go to Yue’er—”


    He had a feeling that the closer he got to the wall, the more dangerous it was. Moreover, now that Yue’er said that she had heard something… He couldn’t help but feel worried.


    Tuan Zi grinned brightly. “It’s fine! A’Yue has His Highness!”


    Rong Xiu stopped in his tracks, and a satisfied smile appeared on his thin lips. She is worth teaching.


    When Chu Ning heard this, he felt that it made sense. He nodded and held Tuan Zi’s hand as they waited.


    …


    When Chu Liuyue reached the wall, she finally stood still.


    Standing close, all the marks on the wall could be seen clearly.


    Countless sword marks had gradually blurred over the years, leaving only deep and shallow marks that were mottled and intertwined.


    She could even smell a faint scent of blood. Mixed with the wind, frost, and dust, there was an inexplicable sense of destion and tragedy.


    Chu Liuyue’s heart sank. She stared ahead in a daze as if countless emotions were surging in her heart, but the details could not be said.


    She could only let theseplicated emotions surge in her chest.


    She reached out and slowly ced her hand on the wall. It was cold to the touch, rough, and heavy.


    And the sound of the zither suddenly became clear. One note after another fell into her ears and smashed into her heart.


    Unknowingly, Chu Liuyue seemed to see a figure standing alone in the lonely and cold wilderness. She couldn’t see that person’s figure and appearance clearly; she didn’t even know if it was a man or a woman. She only saw the person holding the zither in their arms, plucking the strings.


    The sound of the zither flew out from under that person’s hand.


    The sound of the zither, which should’ve been light and happy, sounded strangely deste.


    The world darkened, and the wind blew. In the emptiness, there was only one person apanying the zither.


    Time slowly trickled past.


    That person’s hand gradually plucked the strings faster. The originally distant music was suddenly tainted with a hint of killing intent!


    The sound of the zither rang out! In an instant, it was as if the world had changed color!


    Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something!


    The sound of the zither became more and more hurried! In an instant, it was as if saber lights and sword shadows could be seen as blood sttered everywhere!


    A sweet yet fishy taste suddenly surged into her mouth!


    “Yue’er!” Rong Xiu’s clear and low voice suddenly echoed in her ears!


    Chu Liuyue abruptly came back to her senses!


    Rong Xiu had already grabbed her hand and retreated from the wall!


    Shing!


    The sound of the zither stopped!


    Everything disappeared without a trace!


    Chu Liuyue’s body trembled, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
