Ling Xuan couldn't contain her curiosity. "Senior... who is this 'woman' you speak of?"
BOOM!
Before the entity could answer, the entire cavern shook violently. Cracks spread across the stone platform as the inverted waterfall's flow reversed momentarily—revealing glimpses of a massive shadow moving beyond it.
The entity's form flickered. "Tch. She's getting restless again today." It turned back to the three cultivators.
The black-water entity's form rippled with amusement as it watched the three cultivators' reactions.
"Don't ask about her," it said, its voice suddenly serious. "If she notices you... death will be a mercy."
A chill ran down Long Chen's spine. This 'woman' must be something even this ancient entity fears.
The entity gestured toward a dark tunnel. "Come in. My chamber is safer. I want to know more about the outside world."
Xiong Ba's grip tightened on his axe. "This is clearly a trap!"
