"Guh," Re'Kha gasped for breath as the shivering in her body reduced. It was because some Lightning Qi touched her. Rather the air filled with Lightning Qi encroached the place she was at, destroying all the Ghost Qi around her.

Thanks to this, the sheer quantity of fear induced in her abated like the tide, allowing her to relax and recover her bearings. Four Sha; it was beyond what a fledgling Harmoniser like her could face. Even the Clan Heads were barely able to fight in such a situation.

So, it would be a wonder if she was fine. After all, it wasn't as if she had experienced anything drastic than what a Harmoniser usually faced. There were a lot of problems that cropped up from time to time on their lands. And Harmonisers were usually dispatched to solve those.

So, the longer a Harmoniser lived, the greater his/her experience and the stronger their willpower was in the face of a fearsome Sha.

At present, the fight between the four Sha and the five Burfuna Royal Clan Elders heated up further as they started attacking with stronger attacks. Both the Sha and the Elders no longer held back, using all the means at their disposal.

From time to time, the Blinded Ghost flickered through the surroundings, evading most attacks as if it was teleporting.

'It's even capable of this now. Its growth is too fast and exaggerated.' Re'Kha frowned, watching the Blinded Ghost's fight.

A Sha had a shell it resided within. And if it was a ghost, it could condense its spiritual form anywhere within the radius of its operations. But normally, the Sha would only materialise right above the shell and would be able to travel everywhere within the range of operation.

But, as it developed, it would obtain another troublesome ability. And, that was to materialise anywhere and everywhere within the range of its operations. Moreover, due to its growth, the range of its operations would increase to encompass entire districts within a city.

That would make catching one almost impossible. No matter how much it was wounded, it would pop up in the other end of its range and recover easily.

Now that the Blinded Ghost exhibited the same property, everyone present in the scene realised a certain fact: Its development had already reached close to maturity. It seemed the Blinded Ghost had been developing itself greatly all along, and using the abundant Ghost Qi present in the scene, it grew at staggering speeds.

After all, whenever it consumed one of its eyes to unleash a powerful Palm Projection, it vanished from the scene, appeared at an inconspicuous area, and stole the eyes of a group of people, intending to use their eyes to attack later.

This way, its development continued at a staggering pace. For any Sha, they accumulated some item on their bodies that was an indication of their development. As for the Kite Sha, by stealing the tongues of people, it created ribbons on its body that it used.

And, the limit was 100 ribbons. The Serpentine Sha similarly had 100 arms while the Mirror Sha had one hundred mirrors. Similarly, the Blinded Ghost had 100 eyes. And, two of those belonged to Re'Kha, the ones that it had been using all along without any issues thanks to its refinement session.

A normal eye would bleed the moment it used them to see and would dissolve into a black fluid soon after.

Even though the Elemental Qi—unleashed by the numerous Elemental Qi Essences—scattered throughout the place was eradicating all the Ghost Qi, the speed wasn't enough. After all, all the four Sha were developing at a considerable speed.

And as they developed, it resulted in the loss of body parts of their common populace. Thankfully, the three Sha hadn't developed to the extent they could disappear and appear anywhere in their range of operation yet.

So, they could be guarded against by the Elders and prevent them from harming the regular populace.

Even then, the Blinded Ghost did enough damage on its own.

As time passed, more Harmonisers from the Elemental Clans arrived. But this time, they had dispatched Harmoniser with their Magic Artifacts. And upon arrival, they used the Magic Artifacts and joined the fight.

After all, the Elders were beginning to tire out a little. Even if they were Martial Masters, they only had one hundred units of Elemental Qi. So, their situation wasn't all that different from a Harmoniser.

Re'Kha vacated the place, dragging Ki'Nua along with her. She then left her in the custody of someone from the Burfuna Royal Clan, "Stay here."

"Please be safe, sister." Ki'Nua expressed her worries.

"Alright," Re'Kha nodded and ran back, unleashing her Hand Projection to scale up the walls of the auction house, arriving on its terrace. She then took out a Water Qi Essence and activated it, placing it in her pocket, expanding the range while breathing in the Water Qi, recovering her expended reserves.

Her Hand Projection cost 6 units of Water Qi to use and lasted for three breaths. As she had used it in both her hands, she had expended all her Elemental Qi reserves. As she awaited while recovering her Water Qi, Re'Kha increased the range of her Water Qi Essence, encompassing the entire auction house's terrace in it.

This way, she could at least spot if someone arrived in her proximity through her Water Qi perception. Moreover, having her eyes closed, Re'Kha tried to see through the eyes on the Blinded Ghost, noticing that the image wasn't clear this time, thanks to the interference brought about by the Water Qi around her.

But that didn't matter. She watched through its eyes with patience, suddenly noticing her field of vision change. From an open scenery where there were the figures of the Elders unleashing attacks to the scene of moving through a road, causing her to become alert.

In the short instant the scene panned, Re'Kha tried to look at the details of the road, the buildings, and any landmark she could see. Finally, after seeing similar scenes quite a few times, Re'Kha smiled, having located the shell of the Blinded Ghost, "It's time I targeted your source."
