Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 619 - The Misty Fortress

Lin Mu looked at the swirling mass of mist, which was nothing but the Mist fortress. He did not know about this ability of the Misty Depths Scripture.

"Must have not been taught to those disciples back then. Maybe a stronger application of the technique..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Lin Mu flew towards the fortress again, wanting to see if he could break through its walls.

~shua~

The walls of the fortress swirled as hundred of mist weapons sprouted from them. The weapons moved their heads towards Lin Mu before shooting out.

Flicker... Blink... Phase... Flicker

Lin Mu dodged the attacks using his skills and techniques, trying to get as close as he could to the edges of the fortress as he could. Yet the sheer number of attacks were getting hard to dodge.

He kept on getting halted at every few meters by the weapons and struggled to proceed. Gritting his teeth, Lin Mu used Fade and appeared in the parallel world. The parallel world was as plain as always and Lin Mu was free from the attacks here.

He grasped the approximate location of the fortress and moved there. Once he was sure that he was in the right place, he deactivated Fade and reappeared in the real world.

"Huh?" Lin Mu said in surprise.

But what he had expected was not there. Instead of appearing inside the mist fortress, Lin Mu was out in the open. He moved his eyes around and saw that the mist fortress was actually in a different direction.

"Did I misjudge?" Lin Mu wondered.

He squinted his eyes and checked the fluctuations in the spatial fabric, seeing that the mist fortress was actually moving around. Because he was constantly being attacked and there were mist walls around, sensing the location of the mist fortress was difficult.

It was always moving, but perceiving was difficult due to these multiple factors.

’Dammit! As long as the fortress keeps moving, it will be difficult for me to enter it, even while using fade. I don’t have spirit sense either to help guide me.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Will have to find another way..." Lin Mu muttered and decided to observe the mist fortress and how it moved.

He hoped to find a way that would allow him to enter the fortress.

"Looks like you have finally learned your lesson and have given up! No one can enter my mist fortress!" The voice of the first elder echoed from the fortress.

Lin Mu’s eyes twitched as he felt infuriated by the first elder’s words.

"If I really want to I can just prolong this till the first elder runs out of spirit Qi. I’m pretty sure the first elder can’t maintain this state indefinitely, after all, he used a potential burning pill." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"Don’t forget that the longer you prolong this the higher the chance for the other higher ups of the sect from coming here." Xukong reminded Lin Mu.

"Ah, that’s right! Can’t do that either..." Lin Mu replied.

He could only continue to observe the fortress from afar while dodging the attacks of the mist weapons. He even asked Jing Luo about the mist fortress but the man was helpless as well. He had as much knowledge about mist fortress as Lin Mu, which was nothing.

Besides he was having a hard time doing anything other than blocking and dodging the attacks of the mist weapons. Unlike Lin Mu he did not have a technique that passively defended him nor did he have skills that allowed him to effortlessly dodge the attacks.

Thus Lin Mu could not expect much hesitance from the man currently either. But then Lin Mu’s mind went to the only other person, or rather beast that could help him.

"Little Shrubby, where are you?" Lin Mu called out through his link.

***

Out of the misty area, Little Shrubby was chasing the two Nascent Souls of the Child Soul Stage Nascent Soul realm elders that he had killed.

~Whoosh~

"Ahhh!" one of the Nascent Souls screamed in pain as it was eaten up by Little Shrubby.

The destruction of the Nascent Soul led to it releasing all of the spirit Qi that was contained within it and Little Shrubby enjoyed it thoroughly.

’Yummy!’ He thought to himself.

He continued his chase after the last remaining Nascent Soul for a few minutes. The Nascent Soul was evidently using some kind of a technique to speed up or little Shrubby would have been able to catch it rather easily.

Plus the Nascent soul had figured out that there was a limit to Little Shrubby’s speed at short distances. The nascent Soul discovered that as long as he could change his direction constantly, Little Shrubby would not be able to catch him.

Thus the cat and mouse chase continued round and round the area. Little Shrubby also saw the appearance of the Mist but did not mind it right now as Lin Mu seemed to be fine to him. The connection was also stable so he was not worried.

They were running around in circles and it was now that Little Shrubby heard Lin Mu’s voice in his head asking him where he was.

"I’m chasing after the last Nascent Soul." Little Shrubby said.

"Finish it up quickly and come help me, I need your speed." Lin Mu said.

"Okay!" Little Shrubby said as his expression turned serious.

Now that Lin Mu had asked for his help, he would not slack off anymore.

~BOOM~

Flames exploded from Little Shrubby’s body, making him shoot forward like a rocket. In less than a second, he was right next to the Nascent Soul.

"H-How?!" The Nascent Soul said in shock.

The truth was that ever since getting stronger, and his speed increasing, Little Shrubby had not had the time to practice his skills. He needed practice with his short bursts of speed and controlling directions. And now this Nascent Soul was turning out to be the perfect test dummy.

But all that was over as Little Shrubby’s fangs sank into the Nascent Soul, ending its existence.
