Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 144: Ch 144: Chase

Emrys was walking towards Xu Ling when he suddenly thought of something and disappeared, reappearing not far from Zhu Yan and Hao Lin, frightening them.

"Ghost!"

Both of them shouted in fright. They remembered that the place they sent Emrys was very dangerous. He should not have come back alive from there. His sudden appearance in front of them was enough to take away half of their life.

Emrys sneered at them, smiled coldly, and then turned back before slowly walking in a certain direction.

It was also at this time Hao Ying arrived there and saw Emrys.

Emrys’s appearance was like a bucket of cool water poured onto Hao Ying’s heart. His whole body trembled again.

But the next moment, Hao Ying could not help but shout out loud: "Emrys took away the Snow Spirit Herb. Hurry and catch him."

Afterward, Hao Ying quickly moved in the direction Emrys had walked in.

Both Hao Lin and Zhu Yan couldn’t help but stare blankly in a daze at Emrys’s disappearing figure. But Hao Ying’s shout brought them to their senses.

As both of them who were dazed came to their sense, their expression changed suddenly, and they quickly started chasing after Emrys.

"Roar! Roar!"

Two huge roars suddenly echoed out and following the roar was a Snow Beasts’ paw bringing along a strong gale as it slapped down towards Hao Lin and Zhu Yan.

With no choice, the two of them could only once again start dodging.

The entangling of the two Snow Beasts allowed Emrys to walk a few hundred meters away. By the time Zhu Yan and Hao Lin broke away from the two Snow Beasts, Emrys had already run about a thousand meters away from them.

Only then did he slow down a little. He wanted Zhu Yun and others to follow him for some reason.

"Chase!"

The three of them looked at each other and all three of them had the same expression. They knew they could not let Emrys escape with the Snow Spirit Grass. They were all filled with anger. Afterward, they quickly chased after Emrys.

On the other side, the two Snow Beasts returned to their home, only to see that the Snow Spirit Herb was no longer there. When they found out that the Snow Spirit Herb was not there anymore, they roared once again and quickly chased after Zhu Yun and the other two. Since such a long time has passed, the small amount of bewitching powder has already lost its effect completely.

.....

Emrys dashed forward in one direction, leaving deep footprints in the snow. From the beginning of the pursuit till now, he had run for at least five kilometers and was still running.

Before, the shouting of Zhu Yan and the others could be heard along with their cursing. But after a while, nothing could be heard anymore.

The whole time he dashed forward, he did not feel the slightest amount of exhaustion.

On the snowy ground, deep footprints could be seen. Zhu Yan and the others could chase after Emrys just relying on the footprints!

"What’s the matter with this Emrys? He actually did not die!" Hao Ying could not help sighing.

They were not ordinary people, all of them were cultivators. Being cultivators, they naturally could differentiate between alive and dead and Emrys did indeed die before but right now he was actually still alive.

"Humph, he didn’t die then, but this time, he will die for sure." Zhu Yan with a gloomy face coldly said. Even he was not aware of Emrys’s situation Emrys or how Emrys was not dead.

"This fucking Emrys, his speed is so fast. Damn it! If I catch him, I will personally kill him." Hao Lin cursed. Dense killing intent filled his body.

"Kill him? How will you kill him when we can’t even catch him." Hao Ying rolled his eyes.

"We cannot catch him now but he can also not continue running forever. Let’s wait and see, how long can he run?" Zhu Yan sneered. They continued to chase after Emrys for an entire day without resting.

Emrys knowingly slowed down his speed at times to make them believe that he was tired. However, he still kept the distance between them to a few hundred meters away.

Night quickly descended. The dark night sky wasn’t marked by the bright moon and stars, but with the white snow accumulated on the ground, it was possible to see a few hundred meters away. Compared to the daytime, the line of sight during the night was not clear or far.

As the night descended, Emrys arrived in front of a cave. But he did not venture inside, instead, he suddenly stopped a few meters from the cave. Then he started walking in another direction. After walking a few meters in a different direction, he traced his footsteps and walked back once again.

Due to walking backward, the footprints on the ground seemed really big but because of the night, it was not obvious at all.

Seeing the big footprints, Emrys coldly laughed and then dashed forward in the opposite direction towards the cave. But this time, Emrys acted cautiously. After walking a few steps, he would wave his hand, using the snow to cover up his footprints.

Emrys slowly walked while covering his footprints until he detoured through two mountains, only then did he start adding speed and did not bother with the footprints anymore.

This time, Emrys returned to the place where Xu Ling had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Where have you been?" Xu Ling asked. She was worried about him because it had been a long time but he did not return.

"Don’t worry about that. I have something to do. Find a safe place and wait for me. Also, keep this herb with you for now!"

Emrys threw the Snow Spirit Herb at Xu Ling before disappearing suddenly.

Xu Ling wanted to say something but Emrys had already disappeared. In the end, she carefully kept the Snow Spirit Herb and stood up, ready to find a safe place to wait for Emrys.

As for how will they meet later, she was not worried about it.

In the night, Zhu Yan and the others did not rest at all. After chasing Emrys’s footprints till nearly midnight, they finally reached the cave.

The footprints on the snowy ground were already very shallow. Only occasionally were they able to see some spots that were uneven.

"The footprints got covered by the snow. We need to add on to our speed and chase faster."

Seeing that the front of the road did not have any footprints, Hao Lin wrinkled his brows and spoke before adding speed and rushing forward.

"Idiot!"

Zhu Yan’s corner of the mouth held a trace of ridicule but he could only curse in his heart as Hao Lin had already warned him and he did not dare to be absolutely unrestrained and ridicule them.

Cursing quietly in his heart, Zhu Yan stood on the same spot and indifferently said, "The footprints are indeed no more but they may not be covered by the snow."

Hao Ying and Hao Lin both stopped and looked at Zhu Yan with puzzled expressions.

"Emrys is very smart. He knows how to use this big snow. The footprints suddenly end here and we, who have been chasing the whole time, would of course subconsciously believe that the footprints were covered by the snow and continue forward. If we assumed that way, maybe we would have really not found him anymore."

"Why? The footprints obviously vanished from this direction. Could it be that Emrys is not at the front?" Two of them asked in confusion.

"This little trick of Emrys might work on others, but in front of me, it is mere child’s play." Zhu Yan sneered coldly, "He must have purposely made this facade. If I did not guess wrong, Emrys is surely still around here."

Zhu Yan turned his body and pointed towards a cave a few meters away that had already been covered by the snow and only half of the dark entrance could be seen.

"Right here?"

Two of them stared blankly, appearing bewildered as they turned their body and walked towards the cave.

Zhu Yan slowly walked towards the cave. Based on his conclusions, he had a confident look on his face.

"He really is inside this cave?" Hao Lin and Hao Ying were still not able to believe.

.....

Five kilometers away from the cave, Emrys could be seen leaning on a wall of a small mountain.

"By now, they surely would think that I am in that cave. But this bluff won’t fool them for long. I have half a day at most to full proof my plan."

Emrys’s eyes are shown with bright light. He seemed to be plotting something, something dangerous for the three people.

But exactly what?

In order to know this, we must first know what happened a few days ago and where Zhu Yan and his team wanted to trick Emrys into going.

What exactly is that dangerous place where Emrys and Xu Ling would be killed if they go?
