Even as war raged right next to them, another smaller and verbal war was erupting where the newly arrived cultivators had gathered.
Long Huogang, the Empire's only working Head in the war, was speaking against Yan Yating, who was once the Head of War himself.
The two of them spoke, trying to convince the cultivators to come to their aid, but none could successfully persuade the cultivators.
Long Huan arrived a moment later, leaving his brother, who had been trying to convert the soldiers into fighting against their father.
The gathered cultivators looked at the prince, and one ancestor moved forward. She brought out a talisman and spoke, "This is a talisman to remove all illusions and lies. May I use it on you?"
"Go ahead," Long Huan said.
The old woman threw the talisman at Long Huan and activated it. Instantly, the talisman burned away as it left an aura behind that gathered around Long Huan.
