557 Finding Them!

I activate my scouting ability. I need to know, and I need to see for myself! Please let her be alright!....

Soon, the scene appears clearly before me. The stunning water sect with water flowing everywhere is no more. Everything is dried up. On the ground, I can see traces of battle. There are depressions in the stone pavement too. 

I can feel my heart beating. I'm scared to look forward. My brain is already imagining all sorts of horrible scenarios. That's when I lose control of my ability.

THUD! 

[No! This can't be!]

I came here expecting a fight. I was going to be valiant, defeat the Water sect, then rescue my friend. But instead, I find this. What is even this?! She is fine, right?! 

They all seem to be gone, all of them! Where did they go?! This doesn't make sense! Factions don't just disappear that easily. They have Aqua watching over them too!
