Han Lingyun didnt hesitate, not wanting to find himself having to risk his life against two second level magic beast. He imdiately activated his black bird art to the fullest and disappeared in a dark fog that engulfed the scene.
The mist disappeared. Only the Crazed Warthog and the Blood Panther remained.
What ensued was a brutal fight between the two that rocked the ground and left destruction on acres of forest. The incomparable commotion finally alerted the 3 disciples that Han Lingyun was targeting.
Immobile, he silently observed from afar when they displayed their various thods, rging perfectly with the environnt and not revealing a hint of his presence.
Their use of pills and even arrays greatly alard Han Lingyun who waited for the opportune ti to strike.
Finally, when they separated to collect their spoils. Han Lingyun silently executed the bulky man before finishing off the girl and quickly hiding her body to the side. Sneaking up on the tall man had proven very easy. This tall guy hadnt even noticed Han Lingyun before his throat was cut open by an invisible qi blade. However, Han Lingyun was extra cautious with the last disciple because he feared the unknow factor of his pill usage.
Once he decided to reveal himself, Han Lingyun recognized he had to execute the three disciples. He couldnt let one alert his elders and potentially create future troubles.
After the young boy with his pills was dealt with, Han Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief as he picked up the burly mans sword.
Finally, with that sword, I will be able to fly and get quickly to my destination.
Lets not waste ti here. I need to collect their belongings and hide the evidence just in case.
Han Lingyun first picked up the array materials used by the girl and stored them back in the pouch she had taken them from. He then undressed the headless body from his disciple robe and put it on.
Han Lingyun rapidly gathered all the three disciples belongings and left the bodies to rot further away in the forest. He only left the tokens with the bodies. The White Tiger Sect could monitor ones position with the tokens so Han Lingyun wouldnt take any risks with these little jewels of formations. It would be best if wild animals or magic beasts ca to feast on the bodies.
Their belongings amounted to a few mid-grade spirit crystals, 3 swords, one array disk, a couple of formation flags, dozens of pills that ca in all sorts of colors, one talisman, so water, a bit of dried at and a map of the surrounding forest with the areas to absolutely avoid.
This last find excited Han Lingyun the most.
This detailed map will add another layer of safety to my trip. Oh, this gorge is impossible to traverse on a flying treasure because its filled with nests of Giant vultures! Good thing I learned this beforehand. And there are the territories of the local sects on the map too. Great! I just hope that this map covers an area that includes my destination.
Hmm, a couple of regions have been marked in another color. These could be the zones for hunting missions. Lets see, Crazed Warthog and beasts that resemble big red panthers.
Ah in this zone, among other beasts, one can find Blood Panthers and Crazed Warthogs! That must be it, I should be here right now. I could be wrong, but I dont see any other na that seems to fit with the red panther I saw. And this Blood panther is only found here.
On the back of the map, each beast had a short description with so habits.
So thats why we cant find it elsewhere. This blood panther only stays in the caves of this region because of the specific sedint can produce a special herb nad the Blood Pumping Grass
There should be so of these herbs around, but its a sha I dont have any use for them, it only serves as a tonic a mans performances in bed
Anyway, the main thing is that I know my precise location. Lets compare with the map the old geezer gave . This would put here. It seems that even with my precautions, I have deviated substantially from the correct path!
And my destination is a forbidden zone?!
Thats right, it actually isnt too surprising. If this is the territory of a powerful cultivator, its only natural for it to be a forbidden zone for outsiders. I just hope that I wont have to risk my life again to make it.,
Han Lingyun pocketed the qi crystals, array disk, the flags, the map and one sword. Those pouches are rather practical! As for the rest I dont know how to use those pills, if one is to be consud or should be used as a miniature bomb. There is no point in taking those away. Sa for that talisman, I dont know how to activate it and I dont know its use. Trying to use it will probably result in more harm than good.
Finally, out of the three swords, Han Lingyun only chose one. He had imdiately found how to circulate his qi in the sword to fly on the one that belonged to the burly man. The other two swords seem to function slightly differently. I would prefer to keep all three, but these disciples only flew with one weapon each. It could raise so questions if I flew with another sword in hand. Ill only take this one then.
The young man then rapidly cleaned his face with so water, buried the remaining loot and stepped on the flying sword.
It was much easier to follow a direction when flying straight rather than when struggling in the forest. Han Lingyun still took so detours to avoid the areas where he was most likely to cross paths with other cultivators just in case.
It only took Han Lingyun a couple hours to face the forbidden zone, his destination. This ti, there had been no further twists and turns which had rejoiced Han Lingyun.
He wanted to relax after the stressful journey, but his expression changed as he sized up the scene in front of him. It was so imposing Han Lingyun felt compelled to land. The whole area was draped in a white fog and the skies rumbled with nacing clouds and intermittent purple lightning. Ominous and unwelcoming were the adjectives that ca to Han Lingyuns mind.
I wonder if this is so kind of extrely powerful array or a natural phenonon. Anyway, thats my destination so I guess I have no choice but to enter. Whats even more bizarre is that according to the protector, there should be a mountain behind the fog but the terrain all around is flat.
Han Lingyun ignored his doubts and penetrated the impenetrable fog. He stayed on foot to better react to any changes. But as soon as he took his first steps inside, nearly all sound faded. The powerful thunder suddenly beca a very distant low echo. This change made his adrenaline level skyrocket, his five senses focusing on the slightest changes. But apart from the faint whispering of the thunder, the only elent he could pick was the soft sound of his steps on the soil.
The visibility was dropping with every step and after a couple of ters, Han Lingyun couldnt even see the ground he was standing on. Only a sea of grey fog. Han Lingyun stopped and took a breath, he decided to walk backwards for 20 steps.
Unsurprisingly, Im still in the fog. This indeed seems to be a formation, and at a level I cannot begin to understand. At least Im glad I didnt blindly fly in with my sword. My most likely outco would have been to crash after being disoriented. I guess my only choice is to blindly walk forward.
Han Lingyun thus began slowly walking, step after step, for what felt like an unending journey. Other than the monotonous walk with no perspective of finding an exit, there was another issue plaguing him, one he felt ashad admitting.
I need to sit down. I am actually seasick
Han Lingyun fell on his bottom. Ugh, that wont do. My senses are completely ssed up. I cant even tell how much ti has passed since I entered.
Han Lingyun laid on the rocky ground and closed his eyes. He actually felt better like this, and his unease died down. A thought suddenly traversed his mind and Han Lingyun reached for his pouch to take out the box he was ant to bring to this mysterious figure.
When his hands touched the box, green particles appeared and began slowly floating in a certain direction. The fog didnt prevent Han Lingyun from being able to see the green particles clearly.
Han Lingyun sighed. Why havent I thought of the box before? My stupidity sotis really amazes .
He was grumbling inside but he imdiately jumped on his feet and followed the green lights closely. It didnt take Han Lingyun 5 minutes to leave the cloud and the sight that greeted him took his breath away.
A grandiose mountain towered over him, with snow covering at least half of it. Its shape was unnaturally close to that of a cone. There were no clouds directly above it, but dark clouds circled around at terrifying speeds with purple lightning occasionally sizzling into view.
Its even more impressive from the inside! Is no one coming to welco ? Well, I feel that my objective is at the top of the mountain.
Han Lingyun didnt dally further. He stepped on his flying sword and started ascending rapidly. The temperature fell down as he ascended. Mid-way up the mountain, Han Lingyun estimated the temperature to be at -25 degrees Celsius which made him worry for the conditions at the summit.
Yes, Qi condensation cultivators had incomparable bodies to normal humans, but they werent immune to absolute cold. The air was already fining out considerably too. I have roughly passed the halfway point and I should have climbed 10 thousand ters already. In what sort of terrifying place is that person residing in?
Thankfully, the temperature stopped decreasing when Han Lingyun still had a quarter to go, just when he was beginning to find the cold unbearable. The air was still fining out with the height though, and the young boy had to breathe loudly.
With only a couple of hundreds of ters to the summit, the temperature had ward up enough for the stones to no longer be covered in snow. There were no clouds above his head at this altitude, leaving a perfectly clear sky.
Im finally about to make it. Hehe, after all I went through to get here, Im really curious to discover this mysterious figure.
