Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Chapter 151 Mystery Of The Mist Forest



Li Han didn't had any choice other than following Zhan Chen. The core condensation realm warrior also followed behind Zhan Chen obediently.

The mist like substance grew more thick as Zhan Chen proceeded into the deeper part of the wild land. Initially, one could atleast see his or her nearby area but as they progressed further, the visibility reduced alarmingly.

Li Han finally started to panick. The condition now was much more serious than what he had imagined.

​ Now, the thickness of the mist like substance was so high that Li Han couldn't even see his own four limbs. He could barely keep up with Zhan Chen who was walking in a cofusing path since the beginning.

"What is the point of moving so much? Can't this brat walk on a straightforward path?", Li Han couldn't help but grumble inside his mind. He couldn't understand why Zhan Chen was taking so much turns in their path.

Zhan Chen had informed Li Han about a certain natural formation. But no matter how far they traveled, Li Han couldn't see anything but the mist like substance. It had been a long time since he was following behind Zhan Chen. With the decreasing visibility, Li Han started to lose his patience.

"Wait, where is Shen Poyun?", Li Han suddenly rembered the Core condensation realm warrior of Shen clan following behind him. He tried to located Shen Poyun with his soul sense but his attempt was futile. Li Han shived a little. Despite being a mighty peak fifth stage expert, the fear of unknown made him a little afraid.

"Zhan Chen, wait", Li Han called out. Zhan Chen stopped on his track. He could see through the anxiety of Li Han.

"Senior Han, what is the matter?", Zhan Chen turned to look towards Li Han.

"Where is Shen Poyun? He seemed to be missing", Li Han asked with a slightly anxious voice.

"Shen Poyun is already left behind by us", Zhan Chen replied calmly. He knew when they had left behind Shen Poyun but he didn't point out because he knew it would be pointless.

In the condition where maneuvering was difficult for even a fifth stage expert like Li Han, Shen Poyun stood no chance at all.

The natural formation was easy to leave but difficult to enter. So, it would be better if Shen Poyun left the forest and wait for them outside.

"What about us? Shou we go ahead or return?", Li Han asked with an uncertain tone in his voice. He was no longer sure of what to do. Time seemed to become unmoving in the forest. Li Han couldn't even tell how much longer he was following Zhan Chen for.

"Senior, basically this place has no danger. So, if you want to leave I will not stop you. But, I will not return without finding out the whereabout of your young miss", Zhan Chen replied.

Zhan Chen had a firm tone in his voice. Li Han could tell from the answer of Zhan Chen that he was determined to search for Shen Ruyan. In this case, as an elder from Shen Ruyan's grandfather side, how could Li Han show cowardiness and back out. He suppressed his uneasy feeling and decided to follow Zhan Chen.

Although, Li Han felt confused about one point. Why a gifted young man like Zhan Chen would choose to face unknown danger and give in all his effort to look out for Shen Ruyan.

It was easily understandable that there was some love interest involved because there was no men who had not shown any interest for their young miss who was also one of the most beautiful girl of the central land.

But it didn't mean genius like Zhan Chen would risk their lives to protect a girl who was only an acquaintance. The more genius a person was, the more he treasured his life because only by protecting his life, he could show his brilliance infront of the world. So, the act of Zhan Chen appeared a little inconceivable to Li Han.

Zhan Chen went forward calmly without bothering about Li Han. Li Han also had his soul sense. So, he could follow Zhan Chen without losing his path.

The path seemed endless but Zhan Chen knew it was only an illusion. The natural bewildering formation was not only there to produce the mist but it could also confuse the sense of anyone inside.

The path seemed endless but Zhan Chen was sure that it definitely had a ending. Li Han was about to going mad after walking such a long distance but he shut his mouth after noticing a change in the environment.

The thick mist reduced and finally Zhan Chen and Li Han could see an open area infront of them.

"We are finally out", Li Han shouted. His tense nerve finally relaxed as he exhaled a mouthful of air in relief.

But Zhan Chen couldn't relax at all. The obstruction on his soul sense was reduced. So, he could see the scene of the open land infront of him.

"Senior, please be alert. There may be danger ahead", Zhan Chen spoke. Then he used Ethereal cloud steps and dashed forward into the distance.

Li Han followed behind closely and he stopped after Zhan Chen stopped on his track.

"Oh my god! What happened here?", Li Han couldn't help but exclaim in fright after seeing the area infront of him. There were skeletons littered around the area. Moreover, there were still some amount of power left inside the scattered skeletons.

The expression on Zhan Chen's face changed after he observed the skeletons lying around. "Emperors! Sixteen emperors died here! What happened?", Zhan Chen exclaimed in surprised.

"Emperor! What emperors?", Li Han couldn't understand what Zhan Chen was talking. Moreover, even if he was beaten to death he would not believe that the skeletons lying ahead were skeletons of mighty seventh stage experts.

Zhan Chen moved forward cautiously as he approached the place where the skeletons of emperors were lying. Zhan Chen observed the skeletons one by one.

The luxurious clothes on the skeletons body remained same but their weapons seemed to be missing. Zhan Chen noticed an inconspicuous looking ring on a skeleton's finger and his eyes gleamed.

"I am planning to forge a space ring for myself but seems like there is no need", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He walked towards the skeleton and crouched down to remove the ring.

Li Han also found some good stuffs on a skeleton. So, he get busy in collecting it. Zhan Chen checked the space ring with his soul consciousness and he couldn't see through the contents of the ring.

"There are restrictions on the ring. Seems like I have to give some effort", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He walked around and checked the skeletons one by one. He checked the whole area with his soul consciousness and found an irregularity in a place of north direction.

"This place is full of puzzles. A natural formation which can obstruct even sages. Dead bodies of emperors in an open place and finally a place where my soul consciousness couldn't penetrate", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
