"I'm Liu Xuefeng, son of the Liu Clan Leader," he announced calmly, lifting his chin with quiet confidence. "I was trapped in a different space these past months. I only just escaped today. You can summon my father or Xiao Wen, they'll confirm who I am."
The Saint Expert kept his expression unreadable. "Where exactly were you trapped? And how?"
Xuefeng answered without hesitation. "In the Moon Lake Forest. There was a small pool by the waterfall and I was pulled underwater by some strange wine. I blacked out after being dragged through stone doors at the bottom."
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "Did Xiao Wen summon your group for help?"
The cultivator didn't respond immediately. Instead, he shared a glance with the others and nodded.
A heartbeat later, every weapon lowered. The Saint Experts bowed respectfully and dispersed into the distance, leaving only the lead cultivator with Xuefeng.
