With the activation of the talisman, Lin Mu's appearance began to shift subtly.
His aura restrained until it was no stronger than an ordinary disciple's. His hair dulled, his eyes changed hue, his facial structure softened into something nondescript.
In moments, Lin Mu no longer looked like the feared figure that had shaken the entire Silent Lotus World but rather one of the young cultivators of the Hidden Cave sect he had picked at random.
Turning back to the group, he spoke with quiet certainty. "Remain hidden and prepare yourselves. Elyon and I will scout their sect from within. Once I have a clearer understanding of what we face, we will decide our next step."
Elyon vanished into the shadows at his side, his presence melting away as though swallowed by the sphere itself. Lin Mu adjusted his plain robes and made them look like the robes of the Hidden Cave Sect.
