24 The Search (1/2)

someone planned to kidnapped phoenix clan member which means either they are strong or they have major power backing them.

When Lloyd thought about it he felt strange. He thought, 'what could be the item caused someone to even kidnap his brother?'

He looked to Dixon and asked, ”what's the item, they are looking for?”

”this” Dixon looked at Lloyd and thought for a moment and said, ”you know that yin-yang tactics that you purchased. Lafea clan the one who put it at auction. We encountered a tomb in the great forest and found it. The item they are asking for is a map found in the tomb. It indicated a location of a pocket space made by the owner of the tomb”

Dixon took a tattered map from his inner jacket and showed it to Lloyd.

Lloyd saw a mountain in the map surrounded by a vast forest. There were two rivers intersecting near the mountain. He could see the yin-yang symbol on the top left side of the map

”from what we found out, this location is somewhere in the great forest but till now we didn't find it,” Dixon said while looking at Lloyd who was studying the map.

'system, make a copy of this map' Lloyd said to the system.

-map copied-

”uncle Dixon, you wait for their people to contact you and I will try to contact my father,” Lloyd said and returned to his room.

Seeing the map, he can deduce that some major power is backing the kidnapping. They found about Lafea clan's secret and planned all of it. It also explains that there are spies among Lafea clan. So, if he wants to save his brother, he must look for Derek himself.

He first took a talisman and sent a message to Alder, explaining the situation.

Right now is noon, that means there are only a few hours till the deadline. He must find Derek fast.

The capital city is massive. Even his father who is at the sky stage may need more than a day to search all of it.

The only thing he could do is to use his new ability to search entire city.

He communicated with spirits and spread his conscious.

After an hour, even after searching the capital he couldn't find anything.

Just as he wanted to spread his conscious outside the capital, he felt some disturbance in the flow of qi within the city.

Spirit is sensitive to the Qi. If he was in his body, he won't be able to feel the disturbance due to his low cultivation.

Lloyd followed the disturbance. He reached a mansion surrounded by a formation. It was the cause of the disturbance.

As he moved towards it, he saw the crowed city turned silent. He couldn't see anybody. He entered the formation.

-perspective filter formation detected-

When he heard about the formation he was suppressed. Perspective filter formation is a top rank 2 formation. It can only be set up by a sky stage cultivator. Only top clans have sky stage cultivators.

It changes the perspective of people. even if something is right in front of them. they wouldn't see it. that's why Dixon's men didn't find them.
