Murim Recurve

"Please come in, lady Mu'Tua." The Clan Head of the Burfuna Vi Clan personally arrived at the entrance to receive her. After all, just considering their age alone, Mu'Tua was on the older side and from a generation before him, so the Clan Head had to be respectful.

Moreover, she was a highly respected doctor and was close to achieving the Realm of a Martial Master. So, it was only natural for him to personally arrive to receive her.

"Thank you, Vi Clan Head." Mu'Tua cupped her fists respectfully, gazing a bit down to make eye contact with the Vi Clan Head. He was half a head shorter than her.

Everyone from the Vi Clan was short, forming the shortest bunch in their society. It was to the extent some of the females who had a younger face even disguised themselves as children. They also had thin statures, so it was easy to mistake them for children.

The Vi Clan Head though was short but had considerable body mass, not to mention the thick beard he grew. His face also sported a massive scar, something he didn't wish to erase using treatment, wearing it as a badge of honour.

"Please come in," After making a cordial glance at Re'Kha, the Vi Clan Head looked at Mu'Tua and invited them into the Vi Clan's main hallway.

The design of every clan was different and conformed to enhance the environment with their respective element. The Re Clan had lots of water, occupying most of their Clan space. As their element conformed to water, they lived in an area rich in water.

Moreover, they also grew a certain beast in the water that would enrich the Water Qi in it over time and help with the comprehension sessions of the Harmonisers of Re Clan.

Re'Kha entered the Vi Clan and immediately noticed numerous beasts roaming about in their respective territories. They were barricaded to prevent the beasts from harming the people. There was a certain box in every area that was used to store the bodily waste of the beasts.

Emitted from the boxes was a subtle fluctuation. The moment Re'Kha began to walk through the path, she felt a faint numbing sensation. She then noticed the hair of the Vi Clan Head stand up.

Depending on their affinity to the lightning element, the straightness of their hair standing up varied. As for the Vi Clan Head, it was the most perfect straight she had seen. Through her Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha immediately noticed that the concentration of the grey sand world had decreased here.

Thanks to the numbing sensation she felt, she determined the cause was the faint traces of Lightning Qi in the air. Normally speaking, only Wind Qi could be present in the air, nothing else. But, depending on the climate, the Wind Qi would be either suppressed or cut off.

It was what happened when it rained. The Wind Qi still existed, but thanks to the raindrops filled with Water Qi, they impeded her perception, preventing it from travelling forth. That's why she was unable to see anything during the rains and why she was able to see immediately once it stopped.

In nature, despite clashing, the elements lived in a harmony of sorts. The natural phenomenon worked in a complicated mechanism to keep each other in check. That was why the Wind Qi returned swiftly whenever it stopped raining.

The one difference between their houses, as compared to the ones in the Vi Clan to the Re Clan, was how bridges existed that trailed from the terrace of one house to another, as a form of parallel wires.

It was like a mechanism to walk upon. Re'Kha saw a Harmoniser holding a long pole as he walked over the rope, travelling from one house to another.  He used the pole to balance himself as he walked on the rope like he did on the ground, carefree.

Even though they could perfectly travel on the ground, they still chose to travel using the ropes.

"Lightning is the most mysterious element of them all. It can never be controlled fully. That is why we train our bodies so that our control over the element deepens." The Vi Clan Head noticed Re'Kha looked at the wires, smiling as he explained.

They then entered the main hall of the Clan, a massive house structured around their centre. Chairs were placed in two rows facing each other. At the end was a platform elevated by a single step where two chairs were placed on each side, facing each other. This was where the heads of the four directions in their Clan sat.

The final one, facing the path and situated another step higher was the seat of the Clan Head. Finally, embedded in the wall, positioned beyond the height of a man were three seats, facing the path. It was where the Clan Elders sat.

At present, all the three Vi Clan Elders sat in place, showing the importance they placed in the visit of Mu'Tua. After all, only a Martial Master could become a Clan Elder.

'The Burfuna Vi Clan too has three Martial Masters.' Re'Kha gazed up, noticing how the seats of the three Elders were veiled, preventing one from even guessing their size, not to mention their appearance.

"Elders, I've brought Lady Mu'Tua." The Vi Clan Head bowed towards the three seats on the wall.

"Good, take your seat, Clan Head." A voice from the seat on the right resounded as the Vi Clan Head took his seat. The seats of the four directions were already filled. The heads of every other family too were seated, depending on their status in the Clan.

Mu'Tua and Re'Kha were standing as they paid their respects. "Mu'Tua (Re'Luk) pays her respect to the Burfuna Vi Clan."

"About the possession," A slightly concerned voice resounded from the seat of the Elder on the left, "Is it true a Sha can do it?"

"Based on what we have found out," Mu'Tua nodded, "Yes, they can. It is why we have come here with our request."

"I hope a visit to Earth can sever the connection, or at least damage it." The Voice from the Elder in the centre resounded as his gaze fell on Re'Kha, "Is this the child that would be entering Earth?"
