Unbelievable
<<Hmm. You guys are cleared...welcome back to the Blessed Willow Manor, children of Zhen Clan,>> the Gate Elder eventually said after retracting his aether art.
The effect was almost immediate as many of the people present felt as if a weight was lifted off their shoulders.
"Gah! What the hell? Feels like someone just removed a boulder off my back..."
"If this guy is just a guardian elder...I do not want to imagine how strong the rest of these guys can get..."
"Xiao Liu, how the hell did you manage to withstand that pressure? It felt like being sat on by an elephant!"
"Y'all remember that I'm built weird after cultivating my formula, right?"
"Oh yeah..."
Once his senses were retracted as well, the Gate Elder proceeded to make a series of hand signals to the guards manning the door behind him.
