Stunning Edge

Chapter 48

Chapter 48- Yixuan Feng Appears

Claire moved deftly in the darkness, chasing after that black smoke towards outside of the city gates. That black smoke flew all to the bottom of the city wall, into a well there. Claire held her breath and quietly followed. Before her eyes it was completely dark. This was a dried up well. At the mouth of the well, there was a wooden ladder. Claire crouched down, looked up at the night sky, estimating that the magic puppet should be guiding her Master over there by now. After thinking about it, Claire hid her aura and slowly climbed down the ladder.

“Hey, hey, Claire, wait first. Wait until your Master arrives and then go down together. I keep on feeling an ominous wind blowing.” Walter shuddered a bit.

“It’s not just a feeling, there really is wind!” Claire frowned and looked down the dried well. From below, a slight, cold wind blew. Where did it lead to?

Claire slowly climbed down, all the way to the bottom of the well.

The black smoke was already gone.

The four walls of the bottom of the well were completely intact.

Where did that black smoke disappear to?

Claire sized up the four walls, closed her eyes, and gently put her hand on the well wall. Walter was amazed as he felt Claire pass through.

Once Claire opened her eyes again, there was a deep tunnel right before her eyes.

“An illusion technique?” Walter said in amazement. That well wall couldn’t have looked any more ordinary, who would have thought it was just an illusion created by somebody. This well wall was originally empty, with a deep tunnel behind it.

Claire didn’t speak anymore, and only followed the route of the tunnel forward. White Emperor grabbed Claire’s hair tightly and also stared forward.

The further in they walked, the more extreme the cold wind got.

“What’s the situation up front?” Claire asked Walter.

“The Dark aura is just up ahead. It’s much less dense than before, and probably went a bit far.” Walter replied.

Once Claire came out of the tunnel, she was shocked. Right now she was already completely outside the city! It was the small forest outside of the city.

“Bone pagoda!” Walter suddenly cried out in a low voice, completely surprised. A bone pagoda was extremely evil building, completely made of bones. Resentment and corpse’s Qi were very favorable for a necromancer’s cultivation.

Claire looked up. As expected, she saw the faint outline of a white spire in the forest, about five to six meters, ghastly white and made out of bones.

“It’s completely made out of bones. Strange, why didn’t we discover it when we were entering the city? Even if we didn’t discover it, the magicians from inside the city should also be able to discover this conspicuous building.” Walter was completely puzzled.

“Because it can move!” Claire snorted.  

“What?!” Walter’s response was full of shock and fear. There was only one person out of all the Dark magicians and necromancers with a mobile pagoda! It was that terrifying, inhuman freak!

“Clare, are you sure the pagoda can move?!” Walter’s voice was already shaking a little.

“Yes, I just saw that pagoda move. That explains why nobody discovered the bone pagoda is here.” Claire solemnly said, certain.

“Claire, go quick, let’s go quick! Quickly!” Walter’s voice was completely fearful and impatient.

Claire understood that if Walter reacted like this, he definitely had his reasons. Without an explanation, Claire immediately got out the invisibility cloak that Cliff gave her and hid her body, preparing to return the way she came.
