Just as the Hidden Earth Sect administrator had said, they had been in quite grave danger. The timing seemed random at first, considering it happened just as Qing Yanzi and his group had entered a new environment and were still on alert.0

Qing Yanzi and the others had quickly returned with the Wood Elder of the Five Elements. The Special Warfare Unit lifted the lockdown, while the Special Investigation Unit searched all over the Hua Republic for the remaining two fugitives.0

Based on past encounters where the enemy had used the Earth-Vein Shift Technique, the investigation unit was unlikely to track them down. On the other hand, this incident would surely make the research institute open a new project focused on the cultivation theories related to earth veins.0
