To Walk The Mist Chapter 55

By the end of the second day, space warped and the battlefield was gone . The cultivators inside found themselves where they had been standing before they entered the battlefield . Looking around they noticed that they were much fewer of them . People died in the battlefield, this was normal . But this was the first time this many people had died inside . It was very visible that they were much fewer than when they entered .

The familiar instructor stood before them with a lot of assistants . He looked round the entire group of cultivators and sighed . This time, it was bloody beyond compare . He placed his hand on the slate beside him and everyone tensed .

They gazed upon the slate and could only sigh . When the newcomers came, they created their own factions and some of them opted to be completely alone . Now, the original factions had absorbed them all and the twenty names were back in place .

They looked again . No . there was something different this time .

"Look . There is one more name on the top ten list . " someone said and everyone strained their eyes on the name .

"Ed? Who?" many started to wonder .

"Could he be the one that took out the eagle and the night-hound faction?" many asked .

"Should be . But he only took out a leaderless eagle faction and the night hound faction . How could he be number three?" someone asked .

"Instructor, this is not right! How can this person be higher than I am?" every one turned the one who spoke . It was Disang Enang . He used to be number three . Every one knew him as a heartless brute . In fact, he was more evil than a brute, he was wild like an animal . He kept those powerful cultivators he killed and ate their bodies later . Many say that he cultivates an evil contemplation, but no one can say .

"Who is this Ed? Come out!" Disang Enang said and they all started looking around . Ed did not bother to respond .

"Is the Ed person, scared?"

"I would be if I was against Disang Enang . "

"If I were him, I would never come out . "

All these discussions did not faze Ed . He did not care enough to come out . If they wish to find him, they should come to him . He did not care about any one, whether it was their opinion or their anger . The rank means nothing to him .

"Instructor you should tell us the basis for his rank . " the instructor said .

"He killed five hundred cultivators . All between spirit picking and spirit awakening . The council decided to raise him on the rank on the platform of opportunity . He may understand this basis . " the instructor said, looking right at Ed . Everyone just had to follow his eyes to know who Ed was .

Ed almost nodded at his words . Climbing up the ranks must have a lot of perks . The council must have watched him fight to know that he just wanted an opportunity to horn his skills . What ever the perk is, it would help him fight more .

"The first section Elder wishes to meet you . After which I will lead you to your cave . The accumulated amount of caves you have gained from both factions belong to you . You will be given a map and key access to all the caves you have taken . Most of them are in the second section, others are distributed across other sections . If you would please come with me . " on of the assistants said and Ed nodded and followed .

Ed could feel the murderous intent following him as he walked away . He did not care about those on the top ten that had been pushed down by him or their anger . He as going to gain as much experience from this place as possible then he would leave .

Many could not keep their eyes off him . They wanted to cram his face in their mind . Ku Nam stared at Ed blank expression and smiled . One could not tell what he was thinking . They too had climbed into top ten .

"There is someone else on the top nine spot!" someone finally noticed .

"A faction?"
