Chapter 273 - It’s A Kalha

Re'Rak frowned as he couldn't help but express his shock, "So, the reason the Kalhas exited the Kuhera Forest is due to your master's death. And there is a secret organisation that is trying to destroy our country and the neighbouring countries."

He massaged his forehead, sighing, "And, that settlement granary you hid within was the branch of that organisation. And the same branch or another branch had a method to grow Sha and were also able to summon a horde of birds to attack Burfuna City."

His head hurt as he thought about it but before long, his expression calmed down as he began to link up the incidents that happened recently to what Re'Kha had informed him, finally able to obtain a clear picture.

'So, when a chance presented, they killed our City Lord and three Elders from the Royal Clan. And, even the Elders were unable to differentiate them from normal Harmonisers from the Burkurel Ju Clan. They had been hidden amongst us all along.' Re'Rak felt a chill, "So, they are an organisation comprised of people from all races and operate in different countries. But, just what are they plotting? What's their goal?"

"I don't know about that," Re'Kha shook her head, "Master never said anything about it. Only moments before his death did he say his enemies had transcended mortal limits. As for the rest, they are only the bits and pieces I've managed to link up based on what I experienced. But, I can say this with assurance…"

Re'Kha said with confidence, "If I were to face any danger, there is a good chance it is because of my master."

"If only I never allowed you to hunt the Blinded Ghost," Re'Rak sighed in regret when Re'Kha interrupted him.

She spoke as her gem turned blue, "Dad, it's not like that. One way or another, I would have reached him. After all, the cultivation technique he taught me, Mist Banyan is a simple derivation of our Clan's cultivation technique, Grappling Water. And, he has been trapped in that place for 20 years. So, it seemed he had been waiting for me all along."

Upon hearing her explanation, Re'Rak felt a chill as he rubbed his head, sighing, "So, to defeat that mysterious organisation, he gave you these extra abilities?"

"Yes," Re'Kha nodded, "Even the Blinded Ghost's actions are related to that. In the end, it was to give me another edge. I haven't fully understood the abilities I got from it, but I'll eventually comprehend it once I meditate for some time."

"Fine" After some time, Re'Rak sighed, "Even considering your advantages, you are too lacking to face them. Knowing the elements alone isn't enough. You have to learn the respective Pranic Avatars and possess one for a variety of situations. Just the Hand Projection is insufficient. And in our country, there are no Pranic Arts related to wood and wind elements." 

Right as he said that, Re'Kha took out the Spirit Artifact, Bodhi, showing it to her father, "Only I can use this. But it contains some Pranic Arts for the other two elements. So, I have that covered."

Re'Rak could feel the suffocating presence hidden within the book, muttering, "A Spirit Artifact?"

He quickly looked around, motioning for Re'Kha to place it back in her storage ring, sighing, "Our entire Clan only possesses one Storage Ring. And that too is in the hands of the Head Elder. Your master is one frightening man indeed, to have obtained this. So, make sure you don't wear it in his presence."

"It won't be an issue, father." Re'Kha smiled as she spoke, "This storage ring is called Budding Dew and was created by the Third Celestial Emperor as a present for the 7th princess from the Country of Bisheen back then. It was lost when she died in a war later on and was then discovered by my master. So, unless I activate it, no one would be able to know that it is a storage ring."

"Then it's alright." Re'Rak nodded, "As for the rest, it would be for the best if you enter the Water Sect. You'll be able to learn numerous Pranic Arts that would help you further in your quest. And no matter what, you'll have my complete support."

  "Thank you, dad." Re'Kha nodded, placing the book back in her storage ring as she took out a Fire Qi Essence, a Metal Qi Essence, a Lightning Qi Essence, and two Water Qi Essences, saying, "No matter what, I did put our family's standing in jeopardy. So, please use these to help ourselves. And, the two Water Qi Essences are for Re'Gra…"

As she continued to speak, Re'Rak patted her head, sighing, "You don't need to worry about that. Our situation isn't that volatile for a single Magic Artifact to doom us."

"Still, these don't have a use for me, father. So…" Re'Kha spoke, tearing up a little at the unconditional support from her father. He was the exact opposite of her mother.

"Fine, I'll find a way to exchange the other three Elemental Qi Essences for Water Qi Essences. As for the two Water Qi Essences, I'll take care of them and give them to Re'Gra." Re'Rak patted her head, finally relaxing when he noticed that his daughter had grown up a lot in the short time he hadn't seen her.

He then thought about everything she had experienced, feeling sad at her struggles, soon beginning to think of ways to fish out her enemies. Finally, he spoke, "I'll look into this organisation and try to find the extent they have infiltrated into our society."

"There is a certain degree of risk involved, father. They have mysterious means at their disposal. So," Re'Kha took in a deep breath, taking out a pouch from her storage ring before she fished out a certain item from the space, instantly placing it within the pouch while blocking it from her father's line of sight. She then gave it to her father, "Take this, father. This will be your trump card in your times of need."

"Trump card?" For a moment, he was surprised at her statement. Though, when Re'Kha uttered its name, he shuddered, almost dropping the pouch.

"It's a Kalha."
