161 MU LINGXIs DILEMMA 1 (1/2)

”Controlling someone into doing things? That's quite an incredible feat and at the same time a terrifying capability. Isn't he too powerful if that is truly the case? He can control anyone within his range!”

”Right, turning someone into his puppet will be as easy as a piece of cake if he will use that soul beguilement.”

”Not necessarily everyone. Those who used sold beguilement techniques will end up losing their sense of sight at an early age. Some even ended up being paralyzed because it was like they were exerting too much from their life force by controlling another living being.”

”Hmmm... I see. I guess, no matter how fearsome that ability is, I won't try to practice it. Being blind and paralyzed in exchange for that power is not totally worth it for me. I mean, what's good is it to control someone if you cannot enjoy moving around freely and see the beauty of everything around you??? That was really not a great deal..”

”Soul beguilement is past trough lineage, so even if you want to learn the art, you won't be able to have a chance.”

Seeing his friends bickering to one another, Yun Xue decided to wrap things up for the group.

”If we want to go on Cloud Mist Ridge, we have to be fully prepared this time. We must not repeat the same mistake. So that, no matter what unexpected encounter we might face on our journey, we won't be as helpless as were back then at the land of Echurid.

”I know your sentiments, and since I am certain that you guys will decide to went on the Cloud Mist Ridge once you learned about it, I already asked around to gather some information regarding it.”

According to o what Chan Gu learned so far, Cloud Mist Ridge was located quite some distance away from Magus Academia. It will take them around three days of traveling before they could reach their destination.

Provided that they will travel on full speed without resting for the night.

As for the old hermit, Chan Gu was not able to gather information about its exact whereabouts. Even his source was not able to meet the said old hermit before.

Meaning, the group will still have to comb the area after reaching it.

In a nutshell, they were banking on hearsay.

Nevertheless, despite the uncertainty of this expedition and the difficulties that they were bound to encounter in this journey to Cloud Mist ridge, Mu Lingxi and her friends still chose to brave through it.

As long as it will give them some leads about soul arts. Anything related to it, they will not hesitate to search for it wherever corner of the world it was.

This is especially true to Mu Lingxi. She was not just doing this for Luna and Long Yue. Most importantly, she was doing it for her cat, Janus.

He might not say it out loud, but Mu Lingxi can feel how dejected Janus had been ever since Luna fell into her deep slumber.
