Still in his Heavenly White Tiger form, Yuan offered the guard a calm smile. "I am who you think I am. Do me a favor and keep it quiet, will you? I don't want to cause a panic."
The guard gave a silent nod, his face pale with disbelief.
"Thanks," Yuan said before turning to approach the massive residence before him.
Even after Yuan had disappeared from his sight, the guard remained seated on the ground, motionless, as if he had forgotten how to stand.
Before entering the residence, Yuan activated Shadow Veil and completely erased his presence.
Then, once inside, he began wandering the place.
After wandering for several minutes, Yuan noticed several powerful presences gathered in one room, so he approached the room and eavesdropped from outside.
"It's been half a year since the Immortal Monarch left. Do you think he'll return any time soon?"
Yuan knew the people gathered inside the room were the elders even before they spoke based on their aura.
