Chapter 369: Unbelievable Strength!
*Woosh!*
In the empty training grounds of the sect, the sound of a sword slashing through the air echoed. Xin Yan, dressed in her training robes, was practicing with her sword. There was no qi or any other energy behind her strikes. All she was using was purely her swordsmanship.
*Woosh!*
With her hair tied in a high ponytail, she lunged forward before sweeping her sword in a horizontal slicing motion. Immediately after that, twisting her body, she followed the attack with a vertical sweep.
*Woosh!*
She then led on with the same attacks over and over again. In the middle of the attacks, she changed her attack patterns, but her attacks remained the same. In a series of moves, she would take a firm stance before launching a piercing attack that even caused the wind around her to move.
As she immersed herself in the attacks, Xin Yan found herself losing herself in the moves and feeling of each slice and stabbing motion. Sometimes she did not even focus on attacking, but her body moved on its own. Each move caused the wind around her to rile up. Everything continued until she sensed a change in the sky.
Opening her eyes, she looked towards the sky where she could see a hole appearing in the formation around the sect. She narrowed her eyes and clasped the grip around her, waiting to see who it was.
*Shaaa!*
But it turned out to be someone familiar who entered the formation with a rushed pace.
Upon entering the sect, Wuhan felt an overwhelming gaze on himself before it vanished without a trace. Turning around, he rushed to the source of the gaze.
*Woosh!*
"Did something happen?" Wuhan stepped into the training area with just a single move. Hearing the voice, he raised his head and saw Xin Yan's blue eyes looking at him.
*Clang!*
Sheathing her sword, Xin Yan placed it back in the storage ring.
"My disciples are missing!" Wuhan snapped out of his daze, hearing her words, and exclaimed with a worried look on his face. "Where is Noah?"
"He is a little busy with something he was working on." Xin Yan sighed, seeing the panicked look on Wuhan's face. "Take a deep breath and tell me what happened."
"Huff! Last night, I tried contacting my disciples with the communication talisman I gave them, but there was no response." Wuhan calmed himself down and explained everything to Xin Yan. "I even sent some people to look for them."
"So did you find something?" Xin Yan asked calmly.
"All I found out was that they were last seen together in Waterfall City. They encountered the vice president of the Alchemist Hall there who tried to stop their path." Wuhan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
His anger hadn't reduced from the time he heard this news. "I had my people extract information from him, but he gave up halfway. Their traces disappeared between the forest of Waterfall City and the royal capital."
"You are looking for Noah to do…." Xin Yan asked with a confused voice. Wuhan then explained further.
"I sent guards to look around that place and gather all the clues that could point to their disappearance in that place, but even with their soul sense, they could not find anything. I was hoping that Noah could use his soul sense to look for them, as it can cover a huge area."
Xin Yan nodded in understanding. Thinking of something, she looked at Wuhan and asked, "How far is that place from here?"
"From here? 200 miles to the west." Although Wuhan was confused, he answered her question. "That place is a huge forest filled with minerals and some low-level beasts."
In the middle of his words, Xin Yan closed her eyes and channeled her soul power. Wuhan paused, feeling an overwhelming soul sense moving past him.
Feeling the air around him getting denser and heavier, Wuhan looked at Xin Yan with shock.
' A cultivator in the Soul Formation Realm can spread their soul sense up to 5 miles. Those in the Budding Soul Realm can easily cover 30 miles.'
Under Wuhan's astonished eyes, the soul sense moved past 50 miles in an instant like it was blinking for her.
'50 miles is the known limit of the special souls in the Budding Soul Realm.
100 is the limit of the Soul Amalgamation Realm…..'
100 Miles!
Her soul sense crossed 100 Miles while he was busy thinking and did not stop there; it moved past that point and reached 150.
'They both are monsters… Well, this is to be expected from someone from the upper realm.'
Wuhan shook his head in disbelief when he saw the soul sense passing the 200-mile mark and continuing.
"Hmm, is this the place?" Xin Yan muttered with her eyes closed. "I can still go on a little farther, but this much is enough."
Xin Yan scanned the area of the forest with her soul sense thoroughly until. "I found something."
Wuhan's figure tensed, hearing her words. Seeing Xin Yan opening her eyes, he looked at her, waiting for her words.
"Find this and bring it back. We can look through it and find clues about their whereabouts." Xin Yan waved her hands and sent a streak of information regarding what she found directly to Wuhan's head.
Wuhan closed his eyes and analyzed the information before nodding at Xin Yan with gratitude.
*Boom!*
Rising through the air, Wuhan brought a flying artifact out before rushing in the direction of the Waterfall City. Seeing his figure turning into a streak of light, Xin Yan turned back to glance at the mansion before thinking.
"This should be enough for now. I'll take some baths and practice other things. Just focusing on one thing is not enough."
As she made her way to the mansion, Wuhan was already in front of the place Xin Yan mentioned. He used his soul sense to cover the area from the memory.
Soon he found a yellow paper embedded in the ground. He looked around and there were traces of qi in the air. Even though it looked like there had been no fights in the area, the different qi in the area spoke something else.
"I will not spare anyone who is behind this." Clenching his hands into a fist, Wuhan disappeared from the area, making his way back to the sect.
