The surrounding elders became quiet.
Daoist Bone Ruler paused for a moment before continuing. "However, even if I am convinced, the rest of the sect will require time. Your disappearance has lasted for more than one hundred thousand years. Your soul lamp extinguished long ago. There are generations of elders and disciples who have never heard your name, much less seen your face. Your return will inevitably raise questions."
Lin Mu slowly stroked his long beard and he nodded.
"I expected as much." His voice remained calm. "This old man has been away for a long time. It would be strange if nobody questioned my return."
Daoist Bone Ruler released a faint breath. 'At least the senior understands the situation.'
He was about to say something else when Lin Mu suddenly turned his head. His gaze landed upon the group of elders standing farther away. The Man Peak elders immediately stiffened as they realized he was gazing at them.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed. "Speaking of returning."
