Faced with the mountainous terrain, the first thing he noticed wasn't how close his disciple was, but instead the fact that over five Celestial Immortal Realm cultivators were fighting each only a short distance away from his current location.
If not for the fact that he had hidden himself the second he left the forest and there still was a certain distance between them, he would almost certainly have been discovered immediately. Even now, it was just a matter of time before they discovered him because the scale of their battle kept expanding. Affecting a large area with each passing second.
No matter how well he hid, it would be impossible to remain hidden while also blocking their attacks. For now, the main reason why he could still maintain his current state was due to the battle itself having not reached his current location.
