Immediately after a figure leaped from behind the city gates and landed in front of the group with a loud whooshing sound.

He towered over most people save for Hao Xuan and Zou Huan.

"Hao Xuan! You're back!" he proclaimed loudly, garnering more than a few people's attention from all around.

Hao Xuan didn't know the specifics but he was aware of Rhisiat's strength and since they were on the same side there was no need to be hostile towards him, despite how uncomfortable he felt around him.

Standing across from him right now Rhisiat looked as friendly as a golden retriever but a pit formed in Hao Xuan's stomach seeing that cordial smile. It felt like his body's natural reaction to a threat that even it did not properly understand.

Still, Hao Xuan did not let it show one bit.

"These people need help. A warm bed and hot food would go a long way," he gestured towards the several hundred people behind him.
