"The clan guardian!"
The elders stood up from their chairs, startled. They looked at each other and immediately walked out of the room.
"What's happening?" Kora was the only one who didn't understand the situation. He looked at a servant nearby and asked.
However, he didn't receive any answer, except a look of fear and panic. So, he stepped out of the room and followed the elders.

Outside the main palace.
The cracking and twisting sound of wood rang out. Everyone saw the large figure of the clan guardian move and sway.
The hundred-meter-tall frost willow had come alive, moving and bending towards the north while extending dozens of small branches outwards.
These branches flew through the air towards a particular direction like tentacles.
Everyone within the city could hear, see or feel the commotion.
