Whatever easiness had been there when greetings were exchanged instantly disappeared, giving way to the tense heaviness that had pervaded the entrance hall behind them. Duan Ting's gaze felt heavy, Liu Jing clenched her fists in frustration while looking concernedly at Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao stared at his own hands, his gaze colored by confusion, frustration, and a touch of fear.
His gaze still on his hands, he said, "I didn't see them." Sighing, he looked up to face Yang Qing and Fei Chen.
"I didn't see them. All I remember is a fog appearing out of nowhere as we were flying through the Gorge at the border of the Wang Clan's and Huang Clan's territory in Azure Sapphire Kingdom."
Jiang Hao paused as his gaze turned distant, reliving the memory. The fear he had done a good job of hiding from his expression began to show openly.
"The sensory wards didn't even react," he added, almost a murmur to himself.
