After taking several long breaths, he calmed all his nerves, turning to look at the elder in a worried tone he spoke: " Elder, I'm fine but m-my Xiao fell off the cliff after being hit by that bear, we've to go down and search for her. "
" Hmm, we can search but first we need to inform the sect about this and ask for backup. " the elder said and took out a jade slip.
*CRACK*
Squeezing the jade slip, the elder threw it into the sky, as a big sword symbol appeared over their heads. It was a symbol of a red sword, which was a signal of trouble.
" We've to wait here until someone from the sect comes here. " the elder said, it was a strange occurrence for two Spirit Creation realm beasts from two different tribes to fight alongside.
Qiang composed himself and counted the students, after he finished he reported to the elder: " Three disciples are missing, Xiao, Peng and Wang Jin. "
" We've to find Xiao Rong no matter what, Peng doesn't matter much, and as for Wang Jin, we'll just follow whatever the Matriarch commands. " The elder said, and then both of them began to help the disciples who were still lying on the ground, unconscious.

In the Divine Sword sect,
Wang Jia was sitting in her room, reading some papers, but her eyes were constantly drifting in the direction of the Jade forest, the scene when her son kissed her still playing in her head. After he was gone Wang Jia felt lonely, she sensed his presence through the pendant she had given him.
" I still need to finish the decorations of 'my' Jin's room, I think he will be back in a couple of days. Jin will not mind living in the room next to me, right? " she murmured to herself.
' I wonder what other techniques he has that were even more amazing than the last one? ' Jia wondered.
Suddenly, her thoughts were disrupted by the void she felt in her heart, no matter what she tried she couldn't sense the presence of the pendant she had given to her son, her heart skipped a beat as worry filled her mind, she stood up and walked out of her house.
Jia stared intently towards the Jade forest, she decided to go there and check herself, but after a couple of seconds, she saw the symbol of a big red sword in the sky. Her breathing almost stopped as a bad feeling seeped into her heart, she was feeling extremely vigilant.
Immediately she called for all the remaining elders, her face looked slightly pale, her voice lacking the usual confidence she had, Jia spoke:
" I am going to the Jade forest, two elders come with me. "
" Matriarch, please allow me to come, my grandson is also stuck there. " the third elder said in a hurried tone.
" I'll come too, matriarch, I should've been there in the first place. " the sixth elder who had returned to the sect to report some matters said.
" Alright, both of you can come with me, the rest will look after the sect while I'm gone. " Wang Jia said and immediately turned as she flew towards the forest, leaving both the elders behind.
The third and the sixth elder looked at each other in confusion, it was the first time they had seen their Matriarch in such a flustered state, they couldn't understand why she looked so worried, then without wasting any more time, they both followed behind her.

Xiao Rong was walking while holding Jayden's hand, with Peng following behind them, he stared at their back in jealousy and hatred, but there was nothing he could do in such a situation.
" Little Jay, I sense some kind of strange energy from nearby. " Anna called out.
Jayden used his Void skill, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any trace of such energy around him:' What energy are you talking about? I can't sense anything. ' Jayden said in his head.
" It is well hidden, that's why you can't sense it with your current strength. But it will be really beneficial for you to go there. " Anna replied.
' Okay, where is it? Is it too far? ' he asks.
" It's not far, can you see that red coloured tree that stood out among all the others? " Anna said.
Jayden looked to his right and saw a tall red coloured tree, it looked ginormous and was completely different from all the trees around it. ' Is it near that tree? ' Jayden questions.
" Yes, once you go near it, you will be able to see the way. Maybe it is the inheritance those disciples were talking about or maybe something entirely different. " Anna spoke in an uncertain tone.
' Just like always, thanks Anna. ' Jayden said.
Then he halted his step, and looked towards the big red tree, Xiao Rong looked back at him and asked: " What's wrong, why did you stop? "
" Let's go that way, it'd be easier for others to find us there. " Jayden replied while pointing towards the red tree.
Both Xiao and Peng looked at the big tree and were surprised, since they hadn't noticed it until Jayden pointed towards it, despite it being so big and different from other trees.
" You're right, but I feel there is something wrong with that tree. " Xiao said, unconsciously gripping Jayden's hand tighter.
" It's fine, how bad could it get anyway? " Jayden said nonchalantly and dragged her along towards the red tree.
Peng didn't want to approach the ominous looking tree, but he didn't have any choice but to follow them. He looked around in fear at the dense trees and limped behind them.
After walking for over 40 minutes, they were finally able to reach near the foot of the giant tree. Jayden scanned the entire surroundings and only now did he sense a faint energy coming from the red tree.
There were no beasts around it, all three of them circled around the tree, soon jayden saw the entrance to a cave in its stem, it was around 3 meters above the ground.
Jayden pointed towards the entrance and spoke: " Let's go there, I think we'll at least be safe from the beasts. " he suggested and looked at Xiao.
" Haa fine, let's wait there for the elder or people from the sect. " Xiao Rong said sighing.
" N-No I don't think that's a good idea, that place looks dangerous. " Peng spoke with a tinge of fear in his voice.
Jayden ignored him, he nodded at Xiao Rong and both of them jumped towards the entrance of the cave, just as they set foot on the red wood, they felt as if they had travelled to a different world. Jayden wasn't able to sense anything, all his senses were restricted.
" What kind of place is it? " Xiao asked as she looked around, everything was red, and the cave she was standing in, seemed to stretch forever.
" Ahhh I-I told you not to come here, now we're going to die here. It's all because of you. " Peng shouted in regret, he pointed towards Jayden and blamed him.
Ignoring him completely, Jayden pulled Xiao deeper into the cave.
