The Elder stood at the rooftop of his son''s house, making a sweep around the entire Burkurel Re n''s Central Settlement using his third eye. His third eye was capable of seeing all Elemental Qi.


    As it was the Early Fire Month, all the buildings wereyered by Fire Qi. It was the characteristic of Fire Qi, it would stick itself onto any objects and settle within its topmostyer. So, all objects would look like they have an affinity to Fire Qi.


    This was the month where even regr weapons proved useful due to the thinyer of Fire Qi on them. And due to the characteristics of Fire Qi, the Fire Season was one where even themon folk were able to defend themselves against supernatural phenomenon to a bare minimum.


    And in the Peak Fire Month, the density of Fire Qi in every object''s surface would make them seem like Fire Qi elemental weapons. There was a distinct characteristic of every Elemental Qi, and their effect varied ording to the Season.


    At present, the Elder made a sweep, pausing at times as his gaze bored through the Fire Qiyer, noticing if any other Elemental Qi was hiding behind. It was difficult for him to look past the Fire Qi easily. After all, if the Elemental Qi didn''t face the exterior, it was hard for him to spot it.


    As for normal objects, it was still possible for his vision to bore through the surface. But, he hit his limit when trying to see past ayer of Elemental Qi. He sighed, uttering, "I still have a long way to go."


    "It should be easy for you once you reach the peak as a Martial Master. Considering your talent, it wouldn''t take long." Another voice resounded as ady that seemed to be in her teensnded beside him. Even though she looked like a young girl, she was older than him.


    The only reason she had be as young was due to the fact she hadprehended the levels of Kalki Qi too fast that her age regressed. Upon seeing her, noticing her age, the Burkurel Re Elder sighed, "Lord, your talent is unmatched in our city. You have be even younger."


    "I gained enlightenment recently and managed toprehend 10 units of Kalki Qi overnight. So, I regressed by another 10 years in age and became a girl." The girlughed. She had once been the City Lord of Burkurel City and hadter retired.


    But now that her son had been killed by the Burkurel Ju n, and had lost three of her n''s Elders, even if she looked like she was fine outside, she was fuming within. And, the loss caused her toprehend the final stages of her Realm, and reach the peak as a Martial Master.


    "Lord, will I really be able to see through a Layer of Elemental Qi using my third eye?" The Elder inquired.


    "When you reach the peak, you will definitely be able to do that. Though, for those in the Royal n, they can do that from the start." She spoke, circting Fire Qi in her meridians. This caused her to easily ignore all the Fire Qi in the ce, even mask it out in her vision as she observed beyond.


    She then frowned, "Just as I had expected. The intel provided by Burfuna City''s Ki n head Elder is correct."


    Saying so, her figure flickered. The Burkurel Re Elder too followed after as they soonnded on the roof of a house and looked at the figure of a man walking through the streets. Appearance-wise, he seemed like a healthy individual that was struggling to feed his family.


    But, through their third eye, they looked at the Kalki Qi in his body. Unlike Elemental Qi, the Kalki Qi flowed through their blood, as it was their essence. A Martial Master was able to increase the quantity of this essence and wield it to their limit.


    And having looked into the Kalki Qi flow in numerous people to date, they immediately noticed that something was amiss in the man. The Kalki Qi flowed through his blood but stopped at his neck, refusing to enter his head.


    Only his blood flowed past that point normally and reached his brain. There was something in his neck that prevented his Kalki Qi from heading towards his head. This waspletely odd, so the two Elders observed him.


    And, once the man walked through a narrow section of the road and when no other eyes were on him, the two Elders appeared behind him and knocked him out. They then carried him and headed towards thergest house in the settlement.


    And, the moment they entered the house, the Burkurel Re Elder sighed in sadness once. The Burkurel Ki n Elder observed the house, able to sense that something had happened in the ce.


    Once she looked at him, he exined everything that had transpired in the ce, finally sighing as he spoke, "Wouldn''t it be for the best to warn the n Heads so that something like this doesn''t happen in the future? We are harbouring too much risk as it is. If the curse actually breaks free…"


    "I have asked about that to the Capital. And, all they replied with was a single line," She sighed, speaking, "The Celestial Emperor''s Orders."


    "There''s nothing we can do about that then." The Burkurel Re n Elder sighed as he inspected the captured man''s body, soon picking up a tiny vial that had reced one of his mrs. Upon inspecting it, he frowned, "This poison is incredibly potent."


    After searching his body thoroughly, they woke him up, nning to interrogate him. But, the moment he got up, the man unhesitatingly clenched his teeth, intending to crush the vial he had hid in his dental cavity as one of the mrs.


    He stared nkly when he noticed that the vial had been removed. So, he had lost his chance to suicide.


    "Now, tell us about yourself." The Burkurel Ki n Elder smiled, emitting bloodlust as she spoke.
