Chapter 497: 497
Void Hand didn't return to the encampment of the Shandal Empire for many days, the other three heroic cultivators of his faction began to worry about his safety until they ultimately chose to look for him .
They knew in which direction he had gone after all, it was normal to be equipped with tracking devices when exploring an unknown and dangerous land .
Three figures flew in the air above the wasteland in the direction of the barren mountain in the distance, they were aware that Void Hand was somewhere near the lake that they could see past that area .
They found him sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of a tall stele which had signs orderly written on its surface, an ancient aura was radiated by the monument but they couldn't sense anything else .
However, when they saw Void Hand's face, they realized that something was wrong .
Void Hand was utterly pale, his hair and eyebrows, which had once been black, had become of a gray shade, it seemed as if his lifespan was being consumed as he stared at the stele .
Also, lines of blood fell from his bloodshot eyes, it was as if he was crying red tears .
It was clear that whatever he was experiencing had gone out of his control .
The others of his faction didn't hesitate, they used their joint consciousnesses to restrain Void Hand's mental energy to a small area and used their restrictive spells to immobilize him .
A whip made of flames coiled around his body, six small snakes rose from the terrain and blocked his limbs, a large sphere made of compressed air surrounded his body and lifted him in the air, Void Hand found himself bound and transported away from the stele .
However, he only realized what was happening after his eyes could no longer see the signs on the stele .
Void Hand entered a frenzied state when he couldn't see the signs anymore, he tried to break free from his bindings with his physical strength but his body couldn't oppose the power of those spells .
Then, he redirected his anger toward the three cultivators that were carrying him away, he tried to cast spells but his consciousness had been limited to a small area around him, he couldn't make his attack reach them .
"Void Hand, it's us, wake up!"
One of the heroic cultivators spoke, hoping that his companion would recover his mental state without the need for stronger measures .
Void Hand gave the cultivator an angry look until, eventually, he seemed to recognize his companion and he slowly calmed down .
Confusion was clearly shown in his gaze as he inspected his surroundings, it was as if he had no memories of the moments spent in front of the stele .
"What happened?"
The same cultivator spoke when he saw that his companion had returned to reality .
He was the man who had created the sphere around Void Hand, his name was Spirit Stride due to his signature movement spell and he was also the leader of the group of heroic cultivators that the Empire had sent .
