The Legendary Man novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 Using Each Other

Lauryn glanced at the bronze mirror in her hands and sighed. Leaning on the white mist wall, she cast a concerned look at the scenery within Summerbank Abyss.

Since she nearly got killed by the man in black, Lauryn grew increasingly careful. She dared not believe anyone after another Lauryn appeared in the bronze mirror.

Previously, she tried searching for Phantom Sect’s unique sign that Irving left behind. Strangely, Irving’s sign disappeared suddenly. Judging from the fighting marks left on the scene, he seemed to have run into a capable rival.

After seeing the message in the mirror, Lauryn belatedly realized that they had fallen into a well-designed trap. Jonathan didn’t leave his name, but Lauryn knew it was him from the tone of the message.

As there was an unknown man in black around, Jonathan would be suspected even if he stated his identity. Thus, it didn’t matter who sent the message. Lauryn agreed with Jonathan’s idea.

Various thoughts surfaced in her mind as she stared at the mountains hidden behind the mist in Summerbank Abyss. Through their brief exchange, Jonathan told her not to head to the mountain in the middle. He was very adamant about that.

It seemed that he had been there and was afraid of something there. What secret is Summerbank Abyss hiding?

The mountain breeze sent Lauryn’s slightly disheveled hair fluttering in the air. She brandished her sword and charged forward. Lauryn’s destination was a tall mountain at the edge. Her goal wasn’t to burn one tree but to set the entire mountain on fire!

Jonathan stood on top of a tree and glanced around. He and Lauryn had agreed to the plan, but there was no fire in sight.

Am I too far away from her? Or is there something between us that is blocking her signal?

He was wondering if he should get the bronze mirror out and ask Lauryn where she was when a wisp of smoke rose into the air in the sky on his left.

At the sight of the smoke, Jonathan leaped into the air and headed in its direction, his face devoid of expression.

It was time to reveal the truth about the mystery in Summerbank Abyss.

Lauryn was squatting on a branch of a thick, dense tree.

Her sword was slightly unsheathed as she formed a hand seal with her left hand, ready to defend herself against any sudden attack.

In her right palm, she grabbed a guardian talisman tightly. There was a splinter on her finger.

The splinter was small, but it was able to cut Lauryn’s skin so her blood would spill out and activate the guardian talisman.

Lauryn didn’t think that she was extremely smart, but she was born into a respectable family. Hence, she’d be a top disciple in any respectable clan. As the favorite disciple of the elders of Phantom Sect, she was naturally sharp-witted and talented.

As the one who started the fire, she’d be in great danger after exposing her location. Lauryn was well aware of that.

They were trapped in Summerbank Abyss, and it was impossible to leave. If they wanted to turn the tables, one of them would need to be the bait.

It wasn’t important whether or not Jonathan was the one who sent the message.

If it were the man in black who sent the message so she would expose herself, the rest would still rush to where she was after seeing it.

At the same time, the man would be here too.

The mountain fire was the beginning of their escape plan.

At the sight of the blazing fire ahead of her, Lauryn froze her spiritual energy to hide.

She wanted to know who the man in black was.

A raspy voice sounded behind her, “Oh, I found you!”

Lauryn had her guard up. Thus, her sword flew backward to stab the newcomer quickly.

Meanwhile, she leaped forward, away from the newcomer.
