Chapter 48 - Reporting Back (1/2)

”Don't let your guard down!” Kuo said in a stern voice when the creature disappeared. It could reappear anywhere since they didn't know of its abilities.

*Ding*

”The Bell!” said Qin Feng and Aria at the same time.

”Do you hear it again?” asked the blond spirit realm warrior with a frown.

”Yes!”

*Ding*

”The second one...” mumbled Hao Xuan lost in thought. It felt like he was about to remember something but then suddenly it vanished.

*Ding*

The bell sounded for the third time and the fog surrounding the town slowly disappeared.

Everyone present suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was thrown onto them and they felt 'awake'. Apparently, the fog was not natural and had some strange effects. But Hao Xuan didn't feel any different, as if he wasn't affected by it at all.

When Kuo felt the feeling of clarity, his face changed. To confuse several Spirit Realm experts was not an easy task, whatever happened here was not the doing of anything he was aware of.

”Captain, we need to report back to the HQ right now,” he said walking up to Hao Xuan.

”Mhmm, Qin Feng, bring the formation plate.”

Qin Feng came up to them while the rest still stood guard around them. He moved his hand and a round gold plate with markings etched onto it appeared. Its diameter was about 1.5 meters and there were several holes along the edges.

Kuo bent down and took out some medium quality spirit stones and put them in the holes. After about a second the engravings started to light up and the whole plate became extremely bright.

Five more seconds later a hologram of about 3 meters in length appeared right above it, it was a man with glasses sitting behind a desk writing something.

”Hmm?” the man frowned and looked up at the formation plate.

”Who are you? Why are you contacting me through this formation plate?” he asked sternly.
