Is this master adept at face-changing?
Zheng Fa stared at the Ninth Elder's face, feeling this person was far more agile than he imagined.
The Ninth Elder seemed to realize his quick changes were difficult to trust, awkwardly explained:
"Alliance Hierarch, if I go to Supreme Dao, after all, I'm unfamiliar with the place, let alone that my clan is actually very large... Just bringing a few dozen means abandoning ninety percent of my kin."
The Ninth Elder's tone carried some helplessness.
"The Elder plans quite clearly."
For cultivators, there's also the saying of leaving one's homeland—according to Lady Xuanhua, the difficulty of being a loose cultivator stems from not having any foundation.
Moreover, previously this Ninth Elder likely chose to protect the elite disciples of her clan, given that Haori Mountain was watching, wanting to take away many clan members was too challenging.
