Chapter 237 - 235. Intruder II (1/2)

Third-person POV

Weisheng could feel his blood boil up as he breathes in the air in the forest. They had been walking for about 15 minutes and there was no sign of human nor beast in the forest.

The deeper they enter, the thicker the fog got. Their vision was overcast by the fog and prevented them to see anything more than 10 meters.

The fire magic users cast fire rings to lighten the foggy forest but it didn't work out. What's more, no matter how many times Weisheng uses his dark magic to disperse the miasma, it would come back and the density would increase.

From Weisheng's instinct, he felt like they were being watched over by an anonymous being. But till now, he didn't sense any presence around them. As if the person that was behind this was trying to tell them to not go further in and kept leading them to the exit of the Cursed Land.

”There is someone watching us,” Weisheng muttered.

Lu Ping also noticed it and nodded his head. He then turned around and looked at the troops that were following behind

”Be careful. It seems like the fog contains something that can cause hallucinations. Stay focus!” Lu Ping warned the troops.

”Yes!” they replied.

They walked for another 30 minutes and Weisheng narrowed his brows when he encountered the tree that he marked so they wouldn't get lost in the unfathomable forest. It was already the third time that they run into this marked tree.

Weisheng clenched his jaw in anger, his power was already very unstable because of the powerful evil aura that surrounds the forest and to add it, his patience was running thin from the game that the anonymous person was playing on them.

He summoned his sword and swung his sword across the wood. A surge of wind exploded and the trees around them were cleanly cut into halves. The fog around them was also cleared up in one strike.

”Don't joke with me,” Weisheng growled as his eyes changed.

(A/N: The changes in Weisheng's eyes means that his sclera turned black. It is just weird if I keep writing that out.)

”Your Majesty Emperor, your power!” Qiyi reminded.

Lu Ping extended his hand to block Qiyi and muttered, ”He can manage it.”

Qiyi glanced at Lu Ping's confident face, he lowered his hands and anxiously looked at Weisheng who was breathing out a cloud of black smoke. Lu Ping took a few steps forward and stopped not far from Weisheng.

”Your Majesty Emperor, please remain calm. This official fear that the evidence will get destroyed by your power.” Lu Ping lectured.

Weisheng didn't reply to Lu Ping, he unsummoned his sword and continued to walk away with his hands gripping on the horse's rein. Lu Ping sighed and signaled the troops to get going. Then Lu Ping abruptly stopped when he caught a glimpse of the mountain not far from where they were.

Lu Ping stared at the mountain peak for a few seconds and galloped to Weisheng's side.

”Your Majesty Emperor, it seems like the mountain moved.” Lu Ping said in disbelief.

Lu Ping's eyes were glued on the still mountain while his finger was pointing at the mountain. Weisheng looked at Lu Ping with weird eyes and his eyes followed the direction where Lu Ping was pointing at.

They waited for a moment and the mountain was stock-still.

”There is nothing.” Weisheng turned away and was going to walk away when a soldier shouted.

”Your Majesty Emperor! This servant also saw it, the mountain clearly moved although it doesn't move anymore. This servant would never lie!” The soldier put his fist on his chest and swore upon his own life.

Weisheng stared at the soldier then to Lu Ping, ”Fine, head to the mountain.”

”Yes, Your Majesty Emperor!” The troops saluted and they swiftly headed to the mountain.

On the other side, inside of a dark cave. A young boy was staring at the reflection on the water mirror in front of him with an irritated face.
