Mindless Bandits? (2)

"You're at least a fifth-stage Elemental Awakener realm cultivator. How would you not know? Are you that incapable?" Xu Qi continued his questioning. But at the same time, he's starting to coax the primal elements around the three. The ones that followed them.

If they blanked out right at their hideout and they even traveled all the way from there to this village the images he could glean from the primal elements would be unable to show what exactly happened to them.

And sure enough, it didn't yield him useful information. At most, it confirmed their words, saying they all came here on foot rather than using their steeds or vehicles.

They're mountain bandits and the nearest mountain was at least ten kilometers away. Even if that's considered a short distance for the humans of this realm, only those with decent mobility techniques would forgo the convenience of a beast or carriage to cover such ground.
