Extra Security

He quickly pulled his robe open to see the slave mark quivering with a foreign energy. And since his spiritual threads were already spread out, he was able to pick up another detail that was previously missed.

The mark- in its entirety- was present on his shadow within the Umbral Planes and it was not a simple print either. There was an eye sealed within the print by some lines of unknown scripture and it was trying to awaken.

"Huh...I guess this is how they keep track of the slaves," Hao Xuan smirked.

Not only was he able to see the eye within the slave print but he could easily destroy it with his new-found psionic powers if he so wished.

The only downside was that whoever was on the other side would be able to sense that the connection was severed so it would not be a good option if he still wanted to stay within the city.

'Good to know I have an out.'

He recalled his spiritual threads and the two swords fell to the ground.
