"They are…huge," Re'Kha was able to sense the sheer size of the two Sha in the auction house. She noticed their approach and was shocked when they assumed their true forms. The sheer density of Ghost Qi they erupted with presented themselves as sharp blank spaces in her Wind Qi perception.

And, upon seeing the auctioneer lady behead the suspicious individuals, she heaved a sigh in relief, "She took action immediately. As expected of someone from the Royal Clan."

Similarly, small teams of Harmonisers entered the room of the suspicious people that had left the auction house early, capturing them immediately, using cuffs from Metal Qi. This way, they were unable to escape.

But, no sooner were they captured did the suspicious people die immediately. It didn't seem as if they had committed suicide voluntarily. But, the moment they were captured, something within their bodies seemed to have been triggered, causing their deaths.

The atmosphere in the said rooms chilled as the Harmonisers from the Royal Clan looked at the faces of each other, noticing their sombre expressions. Now they realised that there was a scary organisation operating on their land.

Unwilling to leave the corpses behind, they transported them away, intending to find any clues through their corpses. That was their only clue. Even otherwise, they planned to determine the poison that killed them, intending to develop an antidote for it.

It was so that when they capture such people again in the future, they would have the antidotes ready. Only through that would they be able to interrogate the suspects.

As she was fully covered by the gown, Re'Kha didn't have to worry about using her Wind Qi perception. She then sensed around without relying on her Wind Qi perception, noticing that she could at least determine the walls in the room. And as she moved, she was able to determine her position with respect to the walls.

"It's not developed enough. But in times of need, I can rely on it." She nodded. She had to be careful, after all, she couldn't use her Wind Qi perception for more than 10 breaths in time without rest. Otherwise, she would turn into a Bisheen. And that would guarantee her death as she would be swarmed by all the Harmonisers in the auction house that would treat her as an enemy.

So, during the time she couldn't use her Wind Qi perception and when she was using her Magic Artifacts, she had to rely on her basic senses. Now that everyone from the mysterious organisation in the auction house had died, Re'Kha could use her Magic Artifacts without trouble.

She adjusted the items in her storage ring, placing the Harpen Waves at the top so that she could take it out immediately. As they hadn't been allowed to bring in any weapons within the auction, it would be odd if she used the Harpen Waves, a lost Magic Artifact of the Burkurel Re Clan.

As they were privy of her identity—as Re'Luk, the one that stayed with Mu'Tua—and her place of accommodation, if she does anything suspicious, then Mu'Tua would be interrogated. So, unless her life was at absolute risk, she didn't plan on taking Harpen Waves out.

At least for defence, she had her armour. It would protect her to an extent against the Sha's attacks. And, just as she thought of this, her surroundings chilled as a Sha appeared in the rooms they stayed.

It seemed to have arrived from the roof, landing on the fourth floor first as it moved through the rooms, swatting aside the Harmonisers that tried to attack it. Unlike the others, it had arrived with its true form right from the start.

Shaped like a sphere, its body was fully covered by mirrors. And, this one seemed stronger than the other two Sha, judging by the sheer level of fear it could imbue in the hearts of everyone. Even when the Harmonisers attacked it nonstop, including those from the Royal Clan, it remained unaffected.

Rather, it moved its body slightly, using one of the mirrors on its body to absorb the Pranic Art Projections. It used one mirror per each Projection, unleashing it to attack the Harmonisers. This was its primary ability.

The only way to injure it was to attack in places without any mirrors or target the mirrors already containing a Pranic Art Projection. But, considering its speed of travel, it wasn't possible. Having spied on its approach through the Wind Qi perception, Re'Kha heard the shouts of the Royal Clan Harmonisers.

After just attacking it a couple dozen times, they had already comprehended the essence of its ability. And as they transmitted the information to others, Re'Kha learned of it, getting ready as she could see the Mirror Sha heading towards the room with the mural.

It seemed it was unable to sense the mural, and hence took this roundabout approach where it had to scour through all the rooms. And upon seeing how it was about to enter her room before proceeding towards the room of Ki'Nua that was positioned four rooms away, Re'Kha took out her Harpen Waves, calculating the Mirror Sha's speed of approach as she entered her base state, beginning to circulate Water Qi through her meridians.

She then activated the Harpen Waves to its maximum limit, hurling one of the blades forward after spinning the chain, increasing its speed of travel. The moment the Mirror Sha entered her room in search of the mural, the blade of Harpen Waves impacted its face, shattering one of its mirrors.

The Water Qi it emitted damaged it severely, completely melting off one of its hundred mirrors while affecting a couple more. Re'Kha didn't press forth with her attacks, pulling the chain as she entered the excited state of her cultivation technique, having deactivated the Harpen Waves.

She stored the Harpen Waves in her storage ring and bolted out of the room as the Mirror Sha chased after her angrily, intending to destroy her first.
