The mont Re'Kha woke up, she took in a deep breath before activating her Wind Qi perception. She cautiously extended the range, heaving a sigh of relief when she didn't perceive any Kalhas within the granary.
She then focused on the pile of things she had brought in, seeping her perception through a rolled-out cloth, noticing faint blank spaces within. 'So, it managed to absorb the fear I emitted even from this distance.'
Re'Kha returned to the granary, noticing the thin tube at one corner that led into the open. The air within ford a connection to the outside world through the tube.
Re'Kha pulled out a Water Qi Essence, activating it with a thought. Water Qi slowly seeped out from it and began to fill the room. Re'Kha placed it on the floor while standing nearby, noticing that she had around 8-10 breaths before the Water Qi covered her completely.
She planned to scout the outside, hence the preparations. Her situation wasn't one of safety; the house owners or anyone else could return any ti. There was no guarantee things would go as she wished.
The previous day, she was too tired and weary to do anything and just wished to find a place to rest. Now that she had rested and recovered a little, she wished to scout her surroundings. Only with that could she proceed to recuperate with ntal peace.
Through her Water Qi perception, Re'Kha noticed a blue cloud touch her feet, extending through the granary's surface, steadily increasing in altitude. As the concentration of Water Qi wasn't high, her perception was hazy. She rechecked the ti remaining before it completely wrapped around her, deactivating her Water Qi perception.
She entered the excited state in her cultivation technique and activated her Wind Qi perception, swiftly seeping her perception through the granary, noticing thin blank space move upwards, already crossing her knees.
'Don't be afraid, you can do it.' She ntally willed herself, extending her perception through the narrow tube, proceeding beyond the house. The rain was a drizzle now, allowing her Wind Qi perception to function, albeit with so interference.
Re'Kha sighed in relief, "Since it is still drizzling, the Kalhas wouldn't co out now. So, I'll be safe as long as I avoid perceiving the houses."
Re'Kha ntally willed, deactivating the Water Qi Essence. The level had reached her neck by now. If she spots a Kalha by mistake, all she had to do was enter the region covered by the Water Qi. The Water Qi would prevent her situation from worsening while slowly healing her back to normal.
It was thanks to all elents opposing one another. Re'Kha considered this factor while devising her plans. Her Wind Qi perception spread through the surroundings, outlining the roofs of every house in the settlent.
From there, she slowly proceeded downwards, only outlining the houses around their edges. Since she was familiar with the housing style, she knew where the doors and windows would be placed, deftly avoiding the areas while outlining the rest.
The scene was no different from before, the only oddity being the carcass of many animals and beasts strewn in front of every house's entrance. The sa was true for the house she had taken refugee within. The beast before her house's entrance was a serpent, possessing a massive body.
Only its lower half was visible in her perception. To see it further, she had to gaze further, which would bring her perception into the house's entrance, spelling her doom as she perceived the eye cluster. So, Re'Kha stayed within the safe limits, taking in the entire layout of the settlent.
"Wind Qi perception has trendous advantages that no other elent possesses. I can see anywhere air can pass through." Re'Kha remarked, getting an inkling as to why her master went to the trouble of creating a cultivation technique containing the elent of wind.
Moreover, the unprecedented fact was that no Kalki—her race—could use elents other than lightning, water, fire, and tal. Just that alone was an impossible feat, sothing even her race's Celestial Emperor would be unable to achieve.
"Now to see beyond," Her heart thumped as she extended her perception beyond the settlent, imdiately noticing the figure of a girl in her teenage heading east at a slow pace. Re'Kha focused on her, wondering how a lone girl like her could be present in such a dangerous area.
"Kidnapers," Her expression morphed into one of anger as Re'Kha noticed the girl stopped before a group of twenty on horsebacks. She then noticed the large rucksacks they were carrying, focusing on a rucksack, seeping her perception through the pores in them.
It took so effort before which she could outline the figure of a boy. "These madn!"
She watched the girl drop a choker and a pouch on the ground before steadily retreating from the area. The group of twenty didn't pursue her, rather, one of them picked up the pouch before summoning his Pranic Avatar.
The mont she gazed at the Pranic Avatar that was summoned, her face turned serious, ashen even, "Pursuers, they are tracking soone."
She then thought of the incidents she had been through, "There is a high possibility they are after . Whoever the other party is, they are quite thorough."
Re'Kha chuckled self-deprecatingly, "All this just to hunt down a blind woman."
Her mind whirred into action, thinking of the area she was taking refugee in, watching 12 people split into four groups and head towards each gate. Re'Kha focused on the actions in the west gate since they started the earliest.
Her face brimd with anger as a man dropped the rucksack he carried on the ground, opened the cover, and smiled at the girl within, showing her a scroll, "The lady in this portrait is Burkurel Re'Kha, a valuable insurgent. She is hiding sowhere within this settlent. All you have to do is throw this pouch on her when you find her. This will knock her unconscious. Do this, and you will be set free. You'll also lead a wealthy life after this."
