Abyss Walker

Chapter 151 A new journey!

As the two quickened their pace, the trees in the forest seemed to rush past them, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling their bodies.

Murong Yuanmo felt the power within his body like a newly born flame, burning every cell in his body and making his perception more acute than ever before.

He could hear the wind gently brushing past his ears, the subtle rustling of leaves, and even the rustling of small animals moving through the grass in the distance—all of which became exceptionally clear.

Yun Muhan noticed the change in Murong Yuanmo, and a hint of barely perceptible satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

He knew that this change meant that Murong Yuanmo's power was awakening, which was undoubtedly good news for the challenges they were about to face.

Yun Muhan did not interrupt Murong Yuanmo's experience, but silently stayed by his side, always ready to deal with any potential dangers.

The two figures moved swiftly through the forest, their goal clear and their steps firm.

Despite the complex and ever-changing environment around them, they had only one thought in their minds—to return to Yun Youdu and Qing Wuying as soon as possible.

Yun Muhan: At this rate, Xiao Yuan's rampage in the God Realm will also accelerate. I can no longer stay in Yuanzhou, lest I hinder Xiao Yuan's growth.

As they approached the valley, the surrounding scenery gradually opened up, with the dense forest giving way to a wide meadow, and the outline of the valley appearing and disappearing among the distant mountains.

Sunlight shines on this tranquil land, bringing warmth and vitality to this secluded valley.

Yun Muhan and Murong Yuanmo slowed their pace at the entrance of the valley. Their gazes pierced through the thin mist in the valley and they saw the figures of Yun Youdu and Qing Wuying in the distance.

Yun Youdu, dressed in a flowing robe, stood on a protruding rock, her figure standing out prominently in the sunlight.

Qing Wuying, dressed in simple attire, stood quietly to the side, her temperament as clear and serene as a spring in a valley.

"Mu Han, Xiao Yuan, you're finally back!" Yun Youdu's voice was filled with urgency and joy as she quickly stepped forward, a warm smile on her face.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation; she was clearly overjoyed at their return.

Qing Wuying also slowly walked over. Her gaze lingered on Murong Yuanmo for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She seemed to sense a change in Murong Yuanmo, an indescribable fluctuation of power that made her involuntarily glance at him a few more times.

Her eyes revealed a hint of inquiry and curiosity, as if she was trying to decipher the changes that had occurred in Murong Yuanmo.

Yun Muhan and Murong Yuanmo quickened their pace to meet Yun Youdu and Qing Wuying. Smiles appeared on their faces, and the fatigue of their journey seemed to vanish the moment they saw their companions.

The four of them gathered in the valley, surrounded by tranquil natural scenery, and their figures looked especially warm and inviting in this harmonious environment.

“We’re back,” Yun Muhan said with a smile. “Now, I’m about to embark on a new journey.”

"Okay... wait... you're starting a new journey? What about us?" Qing Wuying asked doubtfully.

"Big brother!"

"No, Young Master Yun cannot abandon this humble woman." Yun Youdu quickly grabbed Yun Muhan's arm.

"Of course you will remain in Yuanzhou."

Dugu Jianling: We can't bring them along, but Yuanzhou, the land of the war between gods and demons, is not safe either. How can we settle them?

Yun Muhan gently patted Yun Youdu's hand to soothe her emotions, then turned to Qing Wuying and said seriously, "I know you are worried, but the situation in Yuanzhou is complicated, and the war between gods and demons could break out again at any time. I don't want you to get involved in it, and you should go to a safer place."

Qing Wuying frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Yun Muhan's decision, but she also knew that Yun Muhan's consideration was for their protection.

She immediately asked, "Then where should we go? We're not familiar with places outside of Yuanzhou."

Yun Muhan pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a suggestion. To the west of Yuanzhou, there is a place called 'Hidden Mist Valley,' which is shrouded in thick fog all year round, making it difficult for outsiders to find. Moreover, a group of hermits live in the valley, skilled in medicine and martial arts, and can protect you."

Yun Youdu hesitated, "But if we go there, won't we be separated from Young Master Yun?"

Yun Muhan smiled and said, "A brief separation is for a better reunion. I will send people to visit you in Hidden Mist Valley regularly, and once the situation in Yuanzhou stabilizes, I will bring you back immediately."

Dugu Jianling nodded in agreement: "Hidden Mist Valley is indeed a good choice. The hermits there live in seclusion and will not easily get involved in the conflicts of the outside world."

"Moreover, they are highly vigilant about external threats and can ensure your safety."

Qing Wuying and Yun Youdu exchanged a glance. Although they were reluctant to part, they understood Yun Muhan's good intentions.

Qing Wuying finally spoke: "Alright, we'll go to Hidden Mist Valley. But, Yun Muhan, you must ensure your safety. We'll be waiting for you to return in Hidden Mist Valley."

Yun Muhan's gaze followed Qing Wuying and Yun Youdu closely as their figures gradually disappeared into the twilight, vanishing from sight along with Murong Yuanmo.

His eyes revealed complex emotions, including worry for Murong Yuanmo and trust in Qing Wuying and Yun Youdu.

The surrounding air seemed to sense the heaviness as well, becoming heavy and still.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their departing path, lengthening their shadows and reflecting the determination and reluctance on Yun Muhan's face.

The surrounding scenery seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the wind blowing gently, carrying a few fallen leaves that twirled and danced in the air before slowly falling down.

Yun Muhan took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to persevere.

Yun Muhan sighed inwardly: If things continue like this, Xi Ling and Liu Li will never come back.

"Ha, I came to Yuanzhou, but not only did I not make any progress in strength, I also gained three burdens."
