Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 441 Why can't I sense her?

A while ago, Kyle let out a chuckle as he watched Yue, who quickly ran off towards the building with an embarrassed expression.

He touched his lips with the back of his hand and let out a pleased hum.

The feeling of someone else touching him was not bad at all. Or maybe because it was Yue, that's why. Kyle's heart fluttered for a second when he recalled what he had done a moment ago.

He started walking towards the exit of the garden and watched the orange, morning sky. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet.

However, the softness in his eyes and the faint smile on his face vanished when suddenly, Bia's presence disappeared.

"Huh."

He stopped in his tracks and started calling the phoenix's name in his head with a confused expression.

'Bia?? Bia? Bia!'

But no matter how many times he called, there was no response.

"What the heck happened?"

A sense of dread crept into his heart, and without a second thought, Kyle vanished from his spot.

In the next second, he appeared in a corridor, startling an old servant who saw him materialize out of thin air.

Kyle ignored the servant who started shouting and ran off to call the guards, claiming that an unknown enemy had entered the queen's residence.

He looked at rows of doors on both sides of the corridor and spread out his scent perception skill to sense Bia.

But it was like the phoenix had entered another space altogether because even with his divine rank scent perception skill, he couldn't detect her presence.

"I'm sure she's inside the building, so why can't I sense her!?"

Hundreds of different scents flooded his nose, but he let out a shuddering breath because in that exact moment, the mark he placed on Yue disappeared, and along with it, her scent that he smelled a moment ago also vanished into thin air.

"Haha, no way."

"What the heck is going on!?"

He started running through the corridor, frantically checking every room while calling out Bia and Yue's names loudly.

The old servant who ran off before came back with many guards holding weapons, but the moment they saw Kyle's hair and eyes, they knew who he was.

The guards and servants also panicked when they heard Kyle's frantic voice calling out to their queen and the divine phoenix.

No matter how they looked at the situation, they knew something was wrong. That's why, instead of questioning Kyle, they all scattered and, just like him, started calling out Yue's name. After all, their top priority was to ensure Yue's safety.

Kyle paused when he saw a middle-aged woman who had come to find him after hearing that Yue had disappeared.

He looked at the woman, and even though he hadn't seen her before, her hair, which was similar to Yue's, gave him a clue about who she was.

Kyle took a deep breath and regained his composure. It wasn't the time to panic. He looked at the woman, who appeared on the verge of tears, as she asked him about Yue.

"Don't worry, aunty. Yue is strong. I believe she's okay. We will find her. I last saw her entering the building."

Yue's mother, Iva, gave him a nod. She could see the tense air around him and knew he was just as worried as her. Also, finding Yue was their top priority.

She didn't ask anything else and started searching the building with the servants, even though they asked her not to due to her health, which had been declining since her husband passed away.

Kyle glanced at her back and rubbed his forehead.

'Damn it!'

His eyes brightened as he spread out his scent perception skill to the extreme level and covered the entire building.

Kyle's stomach churned, and his vision turned blurry because he still couldn't use the skill for a long time due to the many scents that entered his nose all at once. But he shut his eyes and sensed every single scent in the building.

However, all of a sudden, he heard many cries in the distance as a lot of servants started shouting in panic.

"What happened?"

Kyle didn't have to check to know the answer because the moment he turned around, he saw a woman in a dark cloak holding Iva's unconscious body.

His eyes widened because he couldn't sense anything from the woman in the cloak, as if her presence was just an illusion.

He used instant teleportation and tried to stop the woman, but before he could even touch her body, she transformed into a mirage and vanished from his sight.

"?"

Kyle stared at his hand that grabbed nothing but air, and his eyes dilated. The enemy is stronger than him, so much that he can't even touch her.

Suddenly, someone shouted from downstairs in a frantic voice.

"The study... the study door isn't opening!"

Kyle turned his head toward the voice and vanished. In the next second, he appeared beside a female servant who was trying her best to push open the study door, but it wouldn't even budge.

The elven girl immediately backed away the moment she saw Kyle. She cried out, and many other guards and servants gathered as they watched Kyle kick and punch the door with all his strength. Kyle breathed out and shouted at the many people behind him.

"All of you, leave this place!"

He didn't wait for an answer and started gathering all his divine energy inside his palm. Icy blue flames surged out and they started surrounding the study from all directions before seeping into the walls, freezing everything in their path.

Kyle let out a shout and once again punched the door in front of him, this time with so much divine energy that everything else around him started disintegrating.

All the people inside the building started running out when the ground beneath them started trembling violently.

Kyle watched as a crack appeared in the space in front of him, and he finally faintly sensed Bia, Yue, and Iva's presence. His anger increased because he even sensed Nine and Elli in the study.

"Who is this bastard?! How dare you harm my people! Do you really think you can get away with it!?"
