Misty Cloud Translations
That dark cloud really felt very strange!
It was possible for a thundercloud to form on the sea, and this type of dark cloud was also extremely common. However, when she watched the dark cloud, there were times she felt as if it were alive and was intentionally coming over, along with those sea beasts.
That cloud is strange.
She said.
The others turned to look at that cloud, but they didn’t feel that anything was off.
They’re here.
They no longer had time to carefully examine that cloud as those orcas were already near them. The few of them could only put aside their misgivings and fight alongside those on the city wall.
I- I’m not seeing things right? They are spirit paragons?
Damn, they really are!
They’re all spirit paragons!
How old are they even!
Heavens, this is unbelievable!
Everyone pay attention to your own fight. Be careful of being eaten by those orcas!
Someone had to remind them, and they finally pulled their gazes away to return to their own battles. However, their eyes would occasionally dart towards Sima You Yue and the others.
Although Sima You Yue and the others really were spirit paragons, the opponents had many divine beasts that were above fifth rank as well. They called over all of their contracted beasts.
Yun Yi didn’t act at all since the beginning. Although everyone was standing there, not a single orca attacked him. It was as if he totally didn’t exist.
Although they were stronger, someone still died in battle. Sima You Yue unintentionally saw a faint image of a person fly towards that dark cloud.
What is that?
She was shocked as she watched that silhouette fly towards the dark cloud. She was so shocked that she even forgot about the orca she was battling. It was a good thing that Little Roc and the others reacted quickly, pulling her to safety.
You Yue, be more careful!
Bei Gong Tang was killing an orca beside her, as she called out to Sima You Yue.
Mm.
Sima You Yue flew to Little Roc and climbed on. She no longer fought the orca but flew to a side, focusing heavily on the dark cloud.
Although that orca did not have any awareness, it did know how strong Sima You Yue was, so it didn’t go and provoke her.
Ah-
Another spirit master was killed by the orca. She headed to that person, and actually saw a faint image of a person float out of the body, flying towards that dark cloud.
She could see the fear on that person’s face, as well as his relentless struggle. It was as if that cloud was terrifying, and he wanted to escape but couldn’t’!
Very quickly, that person’s image was sucked into the cloud. Sima you Yue could even see the distorted face as the person entered the cloud.
What in the world was going on?
She watched that cloud and her expression began to turn solemn.
You Yue, what are you looking at?
Bei Gong Tang flew over. Her current attitude was really worrying.
Did you see that image of a person get sucked into the cloud?
She asked while looking at Bei Gong Tang.
Image? What image?
Bei Gong Tang looked at Sima You Yue, but couldn’t understand what she was saying.
You didn’t see it?
She looked extremely confused. Could it be that she was the only one who could see it?
Ah-
Yet another person died, and the same scene appeared.
Look, that image!
She pulled on Bei Gong Tang’s arm, and cried out while pointing at the person’s image.
Bei Gong Tang looked at where she was pointing, but she couldn’t see a thing.
It just so happened that Fatty Qu had finished off his opponent, and was stopped by Sima You Yue, asking if he could see that image.
I don’t see anything! You Yue, what do you want me to see?
His answer was the same as Bei Gong Tang’s. There was nothing.
Sima You Yue immediately decided that she was the only one who was able to see this image.
Those powerful orcas were exterminated by Sima You Yue’s gang and their contracted beasts. The battle was over quickly, and the blood stained the sea. The low ranked sea creatures that were initially here, had now gathered far away. They no longer dared to come close.
Furthermore, that cloud had slowly drifted away too. It was the same as when it had came. Aside from the few of them, nobody noticed it.
Sima You Yue looked at that cloud and her expression was serious.
You Yue, what did you see just now?
Bei Gong Tang noticed that way that Sima You Yue was behaving, and it didn’t seem like she was just scaring them. It was that she truly saw something that the others couldn’t see.
I’ll tell you when we’re back.
Sima You Yue said.
She looked at Yun Yi, and saw that he was also looking at that cloud. His eyes flashed.
They returned to the inn at leaf city. Sang Qiong Li also wanted to know what Sima You Yue saw, so she followed them as well.
Sima Tai did not go to battle. He knew that with Sima You Yue there, nothing untoward would happen. However, he still went out and watched Sima You Yue and the other’s from afar.
When Sima You Yue and the others headed back, his first sentence was,
Did you realise something?
Sima You Yue did not think that Sima Tai would be able to distinguish what happened even when they were not together. She nodded, saying,
That’s right. Just now during battle, I realised that a faint image of a person would float out of a person when they died. That image would then get sucked into the cloud.
What?!
Everyone was stunned.
Why was it that they didn’t see that image?
You’re saying that those images would enter the cloud?
Sima Tai asked.
Yes.
Sima You Yue affirmed,
Those images appeared terrified of the cloud, and continued to struggle. However, they were helpless, and finally got sucked in.
What are those images? Are those human souls?
Fatty Qu guessed.
It’s possible.
Then, why would those dark clouds absorb those souls?
Nobody could understand no matter how much they thought. The had no way of guessing what was going on.
Yun Yi, do you know something?
Sima You Yue thought of his expression back then. She felt as if he must know something.
I dare not confirm it. I want to get in contact with it before I make my conclusion.
Yun Yi said,
However, what I am more curious about is why even I didn’t see that image you were talking about? Why are you the only one who can see it?
Sima You Yue was taken aback. That’s right. Why was she the only one who could see that?
Even you couldn’t see it, so why was I? You’re much stronger than I am.
Could it be because she had reincarnated, that she could see this?
Maybe this has something to do with you.
Sima Tai said,
It would be great if we were able to figure this out.
Clan Leader, let me check it out.
Sima You Yue said,
If I am the only one who can see it, it’s most appropriate for me to go.
Initially, she thought that she situation would have something to do with the creature at Forgotten Worry Island. However, it looked like it was because of that cloud.
However, nobody could be clear on whether or not the dark cloud would have anything to do with the creature.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door as a guard walked in and said,
Clan Leader, the Nalan clan has sent word asking you to come. They want to push the meeting forward.
It looks like the situation today had gotten the Nalan clan more afraid. They wanted to change the situation immediately.
Sima Tai stood up, saying,
Since they have invited us, we should go. You Yue, You Lin, both of you come with me.
