The person hung on the doorframe was not where the danger was coming from, but just a gimmick to trick the eye.
Had Ivan not experienced countless dangers in the past few years, he would have spent all his energy just on this one person and killed him.
Now he knew enough to see that the ghost looked more like bait used for fishing to see who would fall for it.
Ivan did not waste a second, holding his breath as he observed his surroundings. He could practically feel all the hair on his body stand up.
Someone seemed to be coming in from outside.
Ivan felt like danger was lurking. He cast a quick glance around him and found that there was no place in the temple for him to hide at all.
Something flashed in front of his eyes all of a sudden, and there seemed to be some space at the base of the rock and stone scrolls. Despite it not being the safest hiding spot, Ivan was certain it was better to hide there than meet whatever was about to come head-on.
Ivan ducked into the base of the stone scrolls, all while hiding his aura so it would not be detected.
What he did not know was that there was a dull wave of energy at the bottom of the stone scrolls as well, completely shrouding his aura.
Just as Ivan was done hiding, someone came in.
"Wait… why isn't there anyone here?" The person's voice seemed intentionally deepened so that no one would be able to tell who it was.
Still, it was clear it was a man's voice.
The person looked around and left.
It was dead silent outside.
Ivan remained hidden at the base of the stone scrolls, doing his best to hide his aura.
He did not believe that the person was gone.
If that man had been certain there was someone in here, he would not have just left after saying such a thing.
On top of that, the stone scrolls were right there. Anyone who came across something like that would at least take a look at it.
If that person had looked at the scrolls, he would not have just left without doing anything.
Which meant that he was still out there and had just pretended to leave.
If that was the case, this person had been here before Ivan and knew what was on the stone scrolls…
Ivan was inclined to believe that this person had followed him here.
Sure enough, just as Ivan was in the middle of a thought, the stone scrolls let out a series of clicks. Someone was moving the base of the scrolls!
