Murim Recurve

The group wasn't arriving on horse-driven carriages but was through flight. They rode massive beasts, carrying heavy luggage as they almost blanketed the sky. There were almost 400 people, with 10 per each beast.

The beast was a mix between a tiger and an elephant, possessing a large concave back where a group of people could be seated comfortably. Every beast could seat around 20 people. But since they had a lot of luggage, only 10 were seated per beast.

The massive wings of the beasts flapped continuously and produced violent gales. As there were forty of them doing so, the created gales were fierce. The beasts were called Erki and were the transporter employed throughout the country.

The Erki was the Pranic Avatar of the Er Clan, one of the Four Great Clans that worked in the transporter business. Since it was the Sects that had dispatched the current Harmoniser group, they were sent using the Erki.

Otherwise, if they were to travel on horseback or horse-driven carriages, they would take months to gather from each Sect and travel to Burkurel City. Thanks to the Erki, they arrived within a month since dispatch.

And, that was only because they had to wait in the capital city for some time before the Southern Sect dispatched enough Erki to carry them to Burkurel City. After all, all the Sects first dispatched the Harmonisers to the capital before the people were selected, personally awarded a Pranic Avatar to be called a proper Elemental Clan, and were then dispatched to Burkurel City.

So, it did take considerable time. As for the actual travel duration, it took a day from the sects to the capital and another day to reach Burkurel City from the capital. After all, despite their size, the Erki were famed for their speed and long-distance stable flight. They weren't part of the Four Great Clans for no reason.

Soon, all the Erki landed on the ground as the City Lord stepped forth, watching a man from the Erki at the front jump down. He quickly condensed his Pranic Avatar and used it to land on the ground. And, the sight of his Pranic Avatar did startle everyone, for it was the same as the previous Burkurel Ju Clan.

And right at this time, an Elder of the previous Burkurel Ju Clan exited the city, slightly saddened as he noticed the familiar Pranic Avatar, muttering, "If only I had been more active, I could have destroyed those traitors first hand. But now, the entire Clan had to pay the price."

Even though he was sad, he didn't harbour any hatred. Rather, when his Clan betrayed and sneak attacked the Royal Clan, he had personally beheaded quite a few of his Clansmen. And, only when they had betrayed did he notice that there was something off about his Clansmen, including his great-grandson, who had been the Clan Head at the time.

He noticed how the Kalki Qi in everyone had been cut off at their necks, preventing it from reaching their heads. And, unlike the others, when the Celestial King Bura had made an appearance, he had seen her in action, pointing to her the root cause of the situation first.

And, unlike the ones seen in the settlement, the energy worms in the Ju Clan Harmonisers had grown in size until it enveloped their entire heads. The head Elder had tried his best methods to eradicate them but had failed. At that point, the life of the worm had become tied to the individual. And with its death died the respective Harmoniser too.

The Celestial King Bura inspected them first before she figured out something and stared northwest with intense hatred before doing what she had done in the city's central plaza. The head Elder was unable to find out what the Celestial King Bura had discovered, but it hardened his resolve to become even stronger and approach the root cause of his issue.

Unfortunately for him, he was the head Elder and wasn't able to leave Burkurel City. He was grounded to it for all life, bounded by the Kalki Qi he wielded. And, the only reason he would be able to leave it and pursue the source of the truth was to become a higher existence, a Celestial King.

But first, his orders were to accommodate the new Burkurel Ju Clan and settle them and guide them through everything they had to do. Only after he had completed his responsibilities was he allowed to find out what had happened.

Thinking as such, he cupped his fists. All along, like the other Elders, he wore a circular hat over which a curtain was hung that reached the ground, shielding his entire appearance from view. And, the moment he appeared, everyone else showed him his respects, including the newly arrived Harmonisers.

"It seems our Celestial Emperor has already given everyone the Burkurel Ju Clan's Pranic Avatar." He spoke, transmitting his voice to everyone that descended from their Erki, "Now, as the Burkurel Ju Clan's Elder, I welcome you to become the blood of Burkurel Ju Clan."

The moment he said his piece, all the newly arrived metal Harmonisers kneeled as they spoke in unison, "We would strive to become the lifeblood of the Burkurel Ju Clan and Burkurel City!"

The City Lord then stopped forth, "As Burkurel City's City Lord, I welcome you to Burkurel City. Even though we have faced a lot of hardships recently and would continue to face more in the future, I hope we can join hands and stay strong through all adversities."

"That would be our honour." The man at the front replied in response, already being at the peak of the Harmoniser Realm. The ones that had been selected and dispatched by the Sects were those guards/soldiers that had shown exemplary talent. As they had been comprehending their respective element for decades, they were quickly given the necessary Prana Stones and were dispatched accordingly.

At present, even though they obtained the Burkurel Ju Clan's Pranic Avatar, they had yet to learn the Clan's Pranic Art. All of them only knew the Metal Qi Palm Projection. To others, the Burkurel Ju Clan's destruction was a calamity. But to them, it was a blessing. After all, they had been promoted from mere guards to a prominent Elemental Family, achieving wealth and status beyond what they had hoped for.

As guards and soldiers, they had faced danger throughout their life, so they weren't shy of facing the responsibilities that came with being part of the Elemental Clans.
