To Walk The Mist Chapter 120

Ed felt things melt into each other . His mind seemed to be lost in a misty forest . Nti Anem's urgent voice seemed to penetrate the mist and reach his ears .

Yes! There was no one but him to fulfil the quest . There was no other outcome but his return . He will leave this mist and return just in time to save her life . That is the only outcome . At this, Ed's eyes cleared .

Seeing that he was better, Ku Jian and Nti Anem sighed a relief . Both wished they could tear Baskii apart as they slapped him a glare .

"What nonsense are you playing at?!" Ku Jian fummed .

Ed turned to look at Baskii dangerously . "You think I dare not kill you?" he asked .

"Speaking is not a crime . " Baskii said in amusement .

"The next time your energy touches me, I will grab onto it . You will die . " Ed responded .

"Oh? Quite daring words, traveller . " Baskii said .

"You wished to look into my mind . You are welcomed to . But be prepared to never leave . " Ed warned .

"The mist is all I see . Your mind? Your past? Do you even have any left? The mist has taken all of it . I wonder though, if you are so far gone, why are you still alive? Is it the light? It it her?" Baskii asked and Ed turned away and opened the door .

He stepped out to a deadly quiet library, but cared little for those staring at him in fear . He made his way for the exit with Ku Jian tailing behind him . Nti Anem threw Baskii one last glare before leaving with them .

On a table nearby, a young man watched those leaving with an odd smile on his face .

"I see the light realm is going to be interesting this time around . " he said and the girl sitting beside him frowned .

"Which one do you think that aura came from?" she asked him .

"Who cares . We must make sure to go to the tower and watch their progress . " he answered .

"Does brother Ah think they are as strong as you?" she asked and he chuckled without care, when they suddenly heard someone on the next table say something that caught their interest .

"It's him! Now we know why patriarch abandoned the entire sect to protect that boy as his disciple . " a girl on the other table said .

"We are not sure it is him that released that aura . It could be the energy manipulator or Lady Jian . " the man beside her protested

"It's him . " the last on the table said and they all turned to him .

"Brother Jia, how . . . " the girl asked .

"It's him . It can only be him . " Jia Lin said solemnly . They could notice his hands clench around his cup .

"Does it matter? It does not mean he has the ability to back up that power . He has to grow first! Brother Jia, he is still not your match!" the girl protested .

At their conversation, the young man on the other table chuckled, "Interesting . " he said .

The girl beside him turned abruptly to those on the other table and they paused .

"Sorry, I over heard a bit . Who was it you said had that aura?" she asked and they glanced at each other .

"Why should we tell you this?" Jia Lin asked . He had noticed that others turned to listen when they heard her ask loudly .

"The way I see it, you all do not seem to like him . What does it matter sharing information about your enemy? Even if someone does not kill them for you, you may be helping others make their lives difficult . " she chuckled . To this, many in the library nodded .

Jia Lin but sneered at her, "As if it would be that easy . The only thing known about him is his name . I do know where he is from, but even that tribe had only adopted him after he had grown up . At the time I stumbled upon him, he was no one, so I did not bother to know more . Little is known, even back in our continent . Do you know how far those old folks are going to know a little bit more?" he said .

"That mysterious? But there is at least still something . Share that . " she said .

"We only know that he is the disciple of the most feared patriarch . A man who entered heaven seeking at age hundred and four or so . His master seems to be afraid of him . He is accompanied by an energy manipulator and … Sorry, we can't say who she is for our own safety . But him, Ed he is called . He is probably the one who released that aura and killing intent from before . " the girl beside Jia Lin rushed to tell her .
