Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 118 - Observer

Frowning, Bai Rouyun looked around, only to find that there were no traces of whoever it was that was observing her.

The only reason she had sensed something at all was because her spiritual power was way above her cultivation base.

Originally, when Bai Rouyun was in her past body, her spiritual power was nothing outstanding for someone of her cultivation base.

However, the moment she entered the body of this Bai Rouyun, then she had felt complete, and her spiritual energy, which should have slowly dissipated, had remained.

Although it was nothing unusual for a Violet Tiered practitioner, it was overwhelmingly strong for someone at the Acquired Realm. It was only because of this extremely sensitive spiritual energy that she was able to sense someone spying on her.

Not knowing what their purpose was, Bai Rouyun became increasingly alert. She kept observing her surroundings and did not venture deeper into the Sunset Mountains.

She could not sense the observer’s cultivation base, and while it meant that the expert was overwhelmingly strong, it also gave Bai Rouyun a sense of relief.

If such a strong expert wanted to harm her, then he would not need to spy on her for so long. A simple snap of his fingers, and she would be dead.

As such, her suspended heart slowly returned to its original position, and she called out, "How long are you going to keep observing me?"

Since she could not understand the purpose of whoever was spying on her, she decided just to face it and see what happened. The worst-case scenario was that she would lose her life, but it was not like she had not experienced that before.

The only thing she was happy about was that Little Chu had not followed her. This figure was obviously stronger than Little Chu. If they ended up butting heads, her newfound friend might end up injured.

The only thing that greeted Bai Rouyun was silence. She did not doubt that someone was observing her, but the person in question did not seem to have any intention of revealing themselves.

Since they had no interest in showing up, Bai Rouyun frowned, but since there was no malice in the aura of her stalker, she continued through the forest in search of a Fire Horse.

She did not have to walk for long before the tree line ended, and a meadow began. If she had walked the other way, then she would have remained in a forest for a long time, as it stretched up on the mountain wall too, but on the west side of the Sunset Mountain was a meadow.

Many beasts could not live within the forest, and the Blue Water Institute had truly gone all out when they developed the Sunset Mountain as a training ground.

There were many different kinds of beasts living in different environments.

At the foot of the mountain was a typical deciduous forest and a meadow, but as one ventured further up the mountainside, the trees that prevailed were all pine trees, and as one came further and further towards the top, the mountain was covered with snow.

The different environments were what determined which creature could live there, and these beasts all had different weak points and different strengths. They had done this in order to temper the students and let them experience different environments.

Bai Rouyun had read up on the Sunset Mountain before she had come here, and knew that the west side of the mountain foot had a meadow, and this was the ideal place for the fire horses to live in.

As she advanced, she slowed her speed intentionally. She observed everyone surrounding her, and her eyebrows furrowed. The one who had been observing her at the start was still following her, but she could not understand what purpose the person might have.

She entered the meadow, but as she walked deeper into the tall grassy fields, she found that whoever was following her had stopped at the forest edge.

Although the person had stopped, Bai Rouyun did not feel calmer. Clearly, the person did not want her to see him, but still wanted for her to be in his sight.

She threw the thoughts at the back of her head and began wondering where the fire horses were.

The Fire Horses were always traveling in flocks, and while she only needed three, the possibility of only finding three was very small.

She likely had to fight against a whole flock, but it would not be easy. She was merely at the Acquired Realm, and these horses were also at the same tier as her.

By fighting so many beasts at once, it was evident that Bai Rouyun would be at a disadvantage, but she was not looking worried at all.

The person in the shadows of the forest was observing her intently. His eyes were ablaze with hope, but there was also a bit of worry and uncertainty.

If Bai Rouyun was there, next to him, she would instantly recognize the man as the old man tasked to teach class twenty.

While he usually looked old and sloppy, there was a bit of youth in his eyes, and he seemed as if he had found a treasure when looking at Bai Rouyun.

This expectation in his eyes was simply too overwhelming, and if Bai Rouyun had seen it, she would have run away without ever meeting him again. She knew this gaze; it was the one that she had whenever she heard of a new grave being uncovered, or when finding a treasure map. It was not love; it was excitement and reverence. It was a feeling that could make one intoxicated, but she, according to her knowledge, only had the Primal Chaos Pagoda that could elect such a reaction.
