As the main hall doors were closed, the ce turned a tad darker before the sunlight streamed in, reflected by the water stream. This caused the ce an ambient solemn atmosphere, perfect for discussions.


    Re''Kha was seated in thest row on the floor. To her right was Re''Dha and to her left was Re''Gra. Since they all didn''t have any official positions, they were seated in the unranked zone. And as it didn''t matter, they took up seats as a group.??


    And, the moment she sat, Re''Kha could notice numerous stares directed at her from the people before her. The stares were full of suspicion, confusion, etc.


    Though, when she thought about it, their stares weren''t without reason. After all, she had gone missing for more than three months with their n''s Magic Artifact. She hadpletely vanished, there were no traces of her anywhere.


    And all of a sudden, she had mysteriously returned.


    But considering everything she had experienced, Re''Kha wasn''t afraid or nervous in the least. She calmly gazed forward, facing the stares with a confident smile.


    Re''Gra nced at her from the side, sighing, ''She''s resembling mother more and more. Well, it''s not a bad thing considering her talents.''


    "Alright," Finally, the n Head spoke. His voice resounded loud and clear in the main hall, "Now that everyone is here, we''ll address something important. Our n received a warning from the capital."


    He was a man with arge stature, thergest among their n. Before he became a Harmoniser, his affinity towards Metal Qi was rather high while his affinity towards Lightning Qi was almost nil. So, he grew up to be a man with a ratherrge stature which helped him throughout his life.


    His words shocked the crowd as the n Head stood up and turned around, facing the wall behind his seat as he gazed at the seats of the three Elders, "Elders, please."


    "Alright," The head Elder spoke as his voice boomed, causing the hearts of everyone to palpitate. "The Burkurel Ju n''s betrayal was shocking indeed. Except for the Elders of the n, everyone else has been ughtered by a mysterious entity and propped in the central za for everyone to witness."


    "Even we cannot touch those metal spikes. The Metal Qi in them is way too powerful." The head Elder''s words further caused them fear. After all, they had been in a submissive behaviour for the past month because they had no confidence in going around with the same pomp as usual.


    After all, the Burkurel Ju n, one of the four Elemental ns of Burkurel City, possessing the same influence as them had been ughtered overnight and put on disy. So, it was nerve-wracking to see. If there was an option to remove the corpses of the Burkurel Ju n members, they would have eventually been able to stomach it and hope they would forget it over time.


    But that wasn''t the case here. They weren''t even able to get close to the Burkurel Ju n''s corpses, not to mention burning them to destroy all traces. So, every time they approached the central za, they were reminded of one fact: Their positions weren''t as unshakable as they had thought. If they went overboard, they would be wiped out.


    As everyone shuddered, the head Elder spoke further, "And today, we received word of the cause behind the Burkurel Ju n''s eradication."


    For a moment, even the head Elder''s voice trembled as he spoke after taking in a deep breath, "The one who had taken action was Celestial King Bura!"


    "What?" Re''Rak stood up in fright. But, he wasn''t alone. All the men from the four Lakes stood up simrly in fright as their bodies trembled. Everyone who had been posted at the Bura Fort was the same as their expression was one of fright.


    "I thought he was just a legend." Re''Rak frowned as he barely managed to gather his bearings and seat himself. Though, his body continued to tremble.


    Celestial King Bura!


    A figure that was stationed at the Bura Fort for more than a century. An entity surpassing a Martial Master, serving as a protector of thend to prevent the Treka from invading their territory. And, as someone stationed at the fort, they had taken the name of the ce as their title.


    A figure of legend from their history. Though, everything about them was a mystery. And to think such a figure had taken action, the fact startled them.


    The head Elder gave everyone enough time to allow the thought to sink in. After some more time had passed, he spoke, "In response to the Burkurel Ju n''s betrayal, they were eradicated. And, all the remaining Elemental ns were given a warning. If we don''t contribute to our city''s development and sustenance, we too would face the same fate."


    "And, the current situation is the Celestial King Bura''s test for us. If we don''t prove ourselves worthy, we would lose our position as the Burkurel Re n." The head Elder finished with a sigh, "And what we need to do is spread out along our state and eradicate all the problems that are cropping up in the numerous unmanned viges."


    "And," the head Elder motioned for the n Head to continue with the rest. The n Head cupped his fist towards the Elders before he continued to speak towards the rest, "One of the prime factors that we have to deal with next are the Sha that would be birthed all over thend due to the fear spreading throughout our city. If we don''t find a way to neutralise this issue, Burkurel City would no longer have the four Elemental ns in its managing positions. We would just be a reserve military force to be used by the Bura Fort."


    "So," He looked at everyone, trailing his gaze over the four Lakes for a moment, "We''ll next be discussing about the locations where each of you will be dispatched towards. If you have any objections to it, you may speak up now."
