Chapter 127: Who is the prey?
"This fog.'
On the west side of the cemetery, the silhouette touches his dry lips as he scans the surrounding environment in nervousness, feeling that someone was staring at him behind the fog...
Swish!
Summoning a gush of wind, the man tried to clear the thick fog in the surrounding area, but only for it to be quickly filled and shrouded the place in the next second...
"This place isn't simple."
The man thought as he warily walked above the niches, often scanning around to avoid being ambushed if there were beings here.
Click, click...
As he was advancing toward the unknown distance, an irritating clicking sound akin to a clock ticking resounded behind his back...
Causing the figure to stop immediately.
"This, who's that!" The man instantly looks at his back as he instinctively summons a sharp wind that instantly shoots toward the origin of the sound.
The air whistled dangerously as the fog parted its figure due to the intense wind, showing the empty sight beyond as the sharp blade made of air hit the ground and created deep crevices...
Boom!
A small explosion resounded within as the wind blade, upon serving its purpose, dispersed in the surroundings...
In an instant, after the wind blade vanished, the fog again enveloped the place, causing the man unable to see further as the cold energy of the fog seeped under his nerves.
"Empty, there is no one?"
He thought dumbfounded, feeling that his senses were playing tricks on him, however, as a cultivator that reached the Mid-Foundation realm, he knew that it was impossible for his senses or mind to hallucinate.
It only means that there's something wrong with the fog!
"A fog that could cause a being to hallucinate?"
He solemnly thought as he summoned an airwave below his nostrils, not allowing the thick fog to enter within as it filtered it with his little skill!
Click, click... Hehehehe!
However, before he could sigh in relief upon noticing the problem within the fog, another clicking sound resounded beyond the fog followed by the innocent laugh of a child...
Although it was heavenly to one's ears to hear an innocent child laughing... In the middle of the night and nowhere, within the damp and bland cemetery, hiding beyond the thick fog...
Even a Core Formation realm being will find this strange and quite chilling!
"This, get out if you dare!"
The man's angry shout reverberated within the fog as he cast a skill that pushed the thick fog ten meters away from him, planning to catch the perpetrator who was making fun of him!
Then if I catch him/her, I will skin him/her alive!
"This..."

"Little one where are you~?"
A thousand meters away from the western part of the cemetery, the man holding a rooting blade smiled wickedly as he moved within the fog unhindered, transversing the land as he often careless the dirtied niches covered in thick moss...

His eyes squinted in a smile as he gazes at the slowly unfolding wooden house in the distance...
In a place where niches were a common sight, the two-story tall wooden house appeared extremely out of place... Causing the man to feel a strange excitement within him.
"Knock, knock, are you there?"
The man smiled, asking in an irritating voice as he knocked heavily on the wooden door, causing it to creak intensely due to the force he used... However, surprisingly, it didn't get destroyed by his strength, making his expression turn into a slight surprise.
Creakkk...
Prying the door open, the man unhurriedly stepped inside, causing the wooden floor beneath him to creak annoyingly...
The empty sala/room greeted his eyes followed by the old couch in the center of the room, above the couch, he could see a metallic crow silently standing on there, facing the door as if it was expecting something... making him smile strangely upon remembering the past.
Tightly gripping the rooting sword on his arm, he silently transverses the place... Only the sound of the creaking sound keeps resounding within as it also slowly quietens down upon finding the perfect balance of his weight...
Creakkk.
Arriving on the second floor, the man began checking the room one by one in bloodlust, but only in vain upon finding nothing...
"There's still no one, hehe... However, the strange smell of the being within the place still lingers through the atmosphere...'
The man thought with a smile, slowly losing his patience as he moved toward the kitchen on the first floor, slowly dragging his body as he looked at the heavy stone below the table in the distance... Clearly hiding something beneath.
Found you!

Huff~
The scene of the night and niches, I really love it all! Unfortunately, I couldn't smell the strange smell that wafted toward the atmosphere!!
Leo irritatingly thought, feeling that his shadow being was far from being perfected...
"I need to gain my body fast!"
As he was moving unhurriedly toward the direction of the town, the grave grass beneath his shadow body slowly withered due to his strange energy, making it extremely pale in one's sight...
Swish... Swish.
Wind breeze traveled above the niches, causing the grasses to rustle in sound, making the fog create a wave of strange beauty akin to ocean water that was disturbed by the wind.
Meters away from him, Leo could see a being covered in a black robe, walking slowly within the thick fog, constantly scanning the surrounding area in wariness, clearly not able to see Leo's shadow being in the distance...
A human! A being with a physical body!
Leo enviously thought, began missing the warm temperature brought by the physical body to one's soul, missing the senses of smell and touch given by the physical body...
Gripping his shadow hand harshly, a strange thought silently sprouted within his soul mind, making his thoughts fluctuate negatively, wanting to possess the body of the being in front of him!
No, to be exact, he wanted to destroy the physical body of the being in front of him!
"Since I don't have a physical body! Then... No one can have it!"
