(Manami POV)
I looked up at the tall torii gate that marks the entrance to our village.
Before I was crippled, I had a Cultivation Technique inscribed on the torii gate that took me about a half a decade to perfect and finish.
Without the village guardian or the leader's permission, the village will remain hidden behind an illusion. Of course if someone strong enough were to come by and knew the exact location of the village, they could still dispel such an illusion with enough effort.
The bear monster that had attacked us before had an excellent sense of smell which allowed it to locate our village and attack it. But normal humans should not be able to see through it.
I stepped through the gate boundary, letting the illusion fade and the village appearing before me.
A few of the foxes who had been close to the gate stopped in their tracks when they saw me.
