Murim Recurve

The other palm imprints were those made by other Harmonisers in the Royal Clan. It was their very first release of a Palm Projection. The rock pillar she had unleashed her Palm Projection was one used by the Harmonisers who had the highest affinity to the water element.

So, all the Palm Projections created a sharp impression on the rock pillar without a single crack. The rock pillar on which Ki'Nua had slammed her Palm Projection on was a heirloom of her family for generations.

Those in her family tree had unleashed their first water-based Palm Projection on it. There were three other rock pillars positioned nearby. The impressions made by the water-based Palm Projections were sharp, not even sporting a single crack due to the impact.

This showed the water's fluid properties.

The impressions made by the metal-based Palm Projection too was sharp, but the area of impact was covered by cracks, displaying the properties of metal to store and transmit shock.

The impressions made by the fire-based Palm Projections weren't sharp. Moreover, the edges were singed while the area in the centre of impact had melted.

Finally, the impressions made by the lightning-based Palm Projections were the most mysterious. The impressions weren't even as clear as the ones made by the fire Palm Projections. Moreover, trailing from the impressions were cracks that zigzagged throughout the rock pillar, forming a network of roots.

Faint swirls of dust formed loops around the impressions, as if something within the rock pillar had been rearranged. It was the most mysterious and vague of them all.

Upon seeing Ki'Nua successfully unleash her Palm Projection, Ki'Nha teared up, feeling that everything was alright with her. She then looked at Re'Kha and muttered with a tone of gratitude, "Thank you."

"I didn't do anything though." Re'Kha shook her head, unwilling to take credit for something she hadn't done.

"Still, you were the one who brought awareness to things we were ignorant about. Thank you for that." Ki'Nha expressed her gratitude, cupping her fists, looking like she was ready to help Re'Kha, no matter the cost.

"How was it, mom?" Ki'Nua jumped about as she sprinted through the place, laughing in merry as she posed like a valiant warrior that had been the one to end a war in victory.

"That was pretty neat," Ki'Nha smiled as she looked at Re'Kha, "Shall we eat now? It's already late."

Re'Kha patted her stomach, feeling it rumble in hunger as she laughed, "That would be great."

Once they had their lunch, Re'Kha accompanied Ki'Nua to her room as they conversed.

Ki'Nha, on the other hand, exited their house and went to find her husband, intending to know about the status of disposing the items with Fear Qi and Ghost Qi.

She then found her husband, noticing that he was in talks with a group of people. And, placed on the table before them were six vats, each filled with a plethora of items. Upon seeing Ki'Nha, her husband spoke with a grim tone, "We made a sweep in the other houses too. Each house contains so many objects with Ghost Qi and Fear Qi. And the worst part of them all is how all of them are situated in gaps that we cannot reach with our fingers."

"That is…" Ki'Nha frowned, realising the seriousness of the issue. The numerous objects, the meticulousness of the Ghost Qi and Fear Qi in them, ensuring the Harmonisers wouldn't be able to sense anything upon touch, and the fact the items were those favoured by the Harmonisers but were those they hardly interacted with, all lead to the same conclusion.

The Burfuna Ki Clan was being targeted by someone. And, as the items were those commonly purchased by them, the perpetrator could have been anyone or any organisation. After all, when they checked the date the items were bought, some of them had been in their houses for almost a century.

That was too great of a time. So, if it had been intentional, then it must mean there was an organisation that had existed for so long and had been targeting their Clan all along. If it wasn't an organisation like that, then it meant there was a Sha that was capable of the same.

But, that also led to a shocking conclusion. There was a Sha that had been alive for over a century.

"Wasn't Lady Mu'Tua talking about how the Sha were capable of possession?" One of them said when everyone collectively took in a sharp breath of air, feeling a chill. The situation was more complicated than they had thought about.

So, they were unable to determine the one that had caused Ki'Nua to make contact with the Withered Courtyard. Moreover, now they also had to prepare countermeasures to ensure none of their Clansmen would form a connection with a Sha.

"We have to make a sweep through the city," One of them frowned, "But, the search radius is too big. Even we can't afford to expend that much Elemental Qi Essences."

"Let's first talk about the method to eradicate them." Another one of them said, pointing at the vats, "If we are careless, we might birth a Sha instantly."

Time passed in such a fashion before it was nighttime. After spending time together, Ki'Tla and Ki'Sul returned to their homes, leaving behind Re'Kha and Ki'Nua.

Followed by a smile, Re'Kha took out the Harpen Waves imitation, the one with the shorter chain, "Congratulations on becoming a Harmoniser. I believe you can wield this elemental weapon the best."

"Wow, I love this design," Ki'Nua clutched It as she beamed with a smile. She then held the Harpen Waves imitation in her hands, making a slicing motion to see it was perfectly suited to her.

She then looked at Re'Kha, "Sister, can you teach me the right way to wield this weapon?"

"Of course," Re'Kha nodded, "I have some experience in using this weapon. It is dangerous at first, but once you get a hang of it, you can even survive an encounter against a Sha using it."

"That's great," Ki'Nua smiled as the gem on her Tikka jewellery flickered for a moment.
