"No need to overthink it."
The elder with white hair spoke again, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, like a celestial sound descending:
"I am here with Lord Ni Yan simply to inquire about something."
He treaded the void as if walking on solid ground, looking down upon the minuscule village and crowd below with indifference, neither haughty nor approachable.
Yet, it was precisely this detachment that inspired even greater awe.
As if the two sides were not of the same kind, like an insurmountable gap existed between the villagers at the entrance and the colossal bird that obscured the sky in the distance.
Su Qi suppressed the tumultuous emotions within him, stepped forward, and bowed deeply, his posture respectful:
"May I dare ask what the esteemed guests wish to inquire about?"
The elder's gaze swept across the crowd:
"Do you know where Yun Village is?"
Yun Village?
The people of Wuyin Village were taken aback upon hearing this.
