The Ones Behind

Under the moonlight, the streets of Fengyun City were quieter than usual. The nightly mist curled around empty vendor stalls and shadowy alleyways. Xu Qi moved like a phantom, making sure not to make a noise as he traversed the distance to his destination.

Broken images they might be but the ones he gleaned from the primal elements through the scrying had provided sufficient reason to suspect a certain place.

Xu Qi stopped at a secluded corner and looked around to ensure that no one sensed his presence.

"Here…" He muttered as he hid behind a small fence, overlooking the establishment not that far from his location.

He reached out his hand and whispered, channeling his qi to his words, coaxing another batch of primal elements nearby.

Once again, he activated Elemental Scrying to prompt images to coalesce in his mind.

Soon, a distorted vision of robed figures coming in from different directions entered the establishment and never left.
