Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Embracing the Killer

"Are you curious about who made this?" Feng Yu asked, turning slightly serious.

Eren didn't answer, but in his mind he only thought of one thing. If he wasn't serious, why would he ask about this?

"I don't think there is anyone in the sect who can do something like this," Eren said.

Only the Ancestral Elders were capable of something like that, but they hadn't come out until Feng Yu was found missing. So it couldn't be them.

He didn't think that any of the other three Overlords used a Sword either. It couldn't be one of them, and no one else would have dared to pull out a sword in Feng Yu's presence here. So who left this mark here?

For some reason, he felt that the mark was a little familiar. That was also why he was so intrigued about it. Was there someone else who was as strong as an Overlord?

"This mark isn't recent," Feng Yu said, her fingers brushing against the mark. It was impressive that someone managed to harm the walls to this extent, but she didn't hold any good memories towards it.

Instead, there was slightly anger and hatred in her eyes whenever she looked at this mark.

"This is the gift left behind by him," she said, clenching her fists. "The mark left behind by the person who killed my father, as if intentionally left here to mock me for an eternity."

Normally, even someone like an Ancestral Elder would have to use all their strength to leave such a deep mark in the wall of the Palace as it was created from special materials.

However, only Feng Yu knew that the person who left behind this mark didn't even make the slightest effort.

If anything, it was all an accident, something behind which the person didn't even place the slightest of his strength.

Still, he left a mark like that. If he had put his true strength, she was sure that he might have sliced the entire sect, instead of just leaving a mark on this wall.

"Why don't you get the wall repaired, instead of using an illusion to hide it?" he asked, wondering why she was wasting so much energy over this in the past.

"I will have it repaired with his blood!" Feng Yu said, for the first time, a hint of a smirk appearing on her lips. However, that smile looked more devilish than anything else.

Hearing her words, Eren's back was drenched in cold. The woman in front of him was hoping to repair the wall with his blood? Just how far gone was this woman?

"Best of luck... I hope you can find him soon," he said while praying inwardly that she was never going to find him.

Eren prepared to step back, creating some distance from the woman who was dreaming about spilling his blood without even realizing it.

There were rumors that he was a demon who loved drinking blood but looking at her, she felt that the rumors suited her more.

Creak~

As Eren took a step back, he heard the sound of the doors opening. Stunned, he stepped forward, holding the corner of his robe.

He quickly swung his cloak, covering Feng Yu within and pulling her into his embrace to hide him, especially since they were facing the direction of the door.

They couldn't let anyone know that Feng Yu was alive, at least not yet.

Feng Yu was taken aback as she felt Eren's hands around her waist.

She was suddenly pulled into his embrace, her figure hidden by his robe as Eren wrapped both his arms around her, holding the corners of his robe at the same time.

Feng Yu couldn't even resist as her face was planted on Eren's chest, being able to hear his heartbeat clearly.
