Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 105: Ch 105: Mu Bailing’s Weird Decision

Mu Bailing carried Emrys on her back as she moved quickly towards the inner part of the valley. The deeper she went, the thicker the white fog became, and the more intense the deathly aura became.

After a while, Mu Bailing suddenly stopped. Because, in front of her, there was a small pond. However, this pond was not filled with dark water that exuded an intense deathly ambiance.

She was very close to the pond and could feel her body being enveloped by a deathly aura, making her feel an involuntary chill. It was as if terrifying worms were invading her body in several places. The sensation was extremely eerie.

"What exactly is this pond? Why does it have such an intense death aura?"

Mu Bailing frowned slightly, her expression becoming grim. She couldn’t retreat, and ahead of her was this eerie pond. The pond was truly strange, and she didn’t dare to rashly step into it. However, with pursuers closing in behind her, Mu Bailing found herself caught in a dilemma.

"Where do you think you are going?"

At this moment, a cold voice was heard. Mu Bailing turned and saw dozens of figures behind her. Their eyes were filled with killing intent for her and Emrys. Obviously, this was the group led by Qin Huxiao.

Mu Bailing’s expression turned grim as she turned around and started walking toward the pond. She had no choice but to run for her life.

However, a flash of light and several arcs of sharp winds slashed in front of her, blocking her path. If she had taken even a step further, her body would have been shredded to pieces.

"Is it really alright for all of you to bully me?" Mu Bailing said with a cold gaze, though her heart was filled with despair.

Qin Huxiao looked at her and spoke, "If you are willing to hand this person over to me, I can guarantee your survival. You can go back and do whatever you want; you’ll be free."

For a moment, Mu Bailing was troubled. She did not know whether she should hand Emrys over to these people or not. But when she thought about it, she knew even if she did hand Emrys over, she might not be able to leave this place safely. She could not trust any of these people.

In the end, Mu Bailing stood up straight and carried the dying Emrys behind her back. Then, under the shocked gazes of Qin Huxiao and others, she walked towards the pond filled with a deathly aura.

"Hey, are you crazy?"

When Qin Huxiao saw Mu Bailing’s crazy action, he could not help but shout. He immediately rushed to My Bailing and wanted to pull her back, but it was too late. She had already sunk into the pool bit by bit. The deathly grey water surrounded her and Emrys’s body.

"What should we do?"

One of the people asked Qin Huxiao with a slightly ugly expression. None of them expected Mu Bailing to be this crazy.

Does she not care about her life?

Is Emrys’s life really that important to her?

To be honest, Emrys was still a stranger to Mu Bailing. Although he did help her, his help was not worth risking her life like that.

This question was indeed important.

Why did she choose to risk her own life for Emrys?

Is it because Emrys helped her by saving Ye Yun?

If not, then why?

"We can’t do anything. The deathly aura in this pond is too dense. Even with my strength, I won’t be able to guarantee a safe retreat if I enter it, let alone you all."

Qin Huxiao’s expression turned ugly as he spoke. Then he started going back. The rest of the people followed Qin Huxiao as well.

There was no point in staying here anymore. By entering the pond, Mu Bailing and Emrys were destined to die.

Can they come out alive of that deathly pond?

Generally speaking, it is impossible for the two of them to come out of the pond alive anymore. There are, however, always exceptions. If their luck is extremely good, they might encounter a serendipity that will help them come back alive. Otherwise, their death is certain. It is inevitable.

Mu Bailing was forced into a dead end. She carried Emrys and sank into the pond. Death was inevitable on both sides, she might as well die together with Emrys.

When her body was completely immersed in the pond, an extremely strong deathly energy invaded her body, causing her body to stiffen. Her black hair turned white in a short while and she felt like her body had lost all its strength. Her eyes started closing and in just a few moments, she lost consciousness just like Emrys.

Both of them started drowning in the pond.

At this moment, Emrys, whose body was already injured and extremely weak, felt the same way. The deathly aura passed through his body without any hindrance. In just a short while, Emrys’s already pale face was covered with a layer of deathly aura. He looked like a dead man.

.....

Emrys opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of another him. He felt heavy in his head and didn’t know how he appeared there. This place was strange. There was nothing here aside from another him.

For a moment, he could not recall how he appeared here or what happened before he appeared here.

However, a few seconds later, when his mind cleared, he recalled everything. He shook his head and sighed, muttering, "I paid the price for my arrogance!"

Indeed, Emrys had been too arrogant earlier. Influenced by something darker and having reached the level of a Gold Soul Master, he believed he could accomplish anything with his Soul Cultivation. However, he overlooked a crucial fact. Although his cultivation had increased, he was still far from reaching the level of a true Gold Soul Master.

Why?

It is because his cultivation had increased rapidly in a very short period. Although his strength had grown magnificently, only his cultivation had advanced. He failed to strengthen his body by attracting attributed energy from the void with the help of his Soul Mark.

Now that he had entered the five steps, his body was stronger, but he could have been much more powerful if he had tempered his body with spatial-attributed energy.
