In the end, the Mist Guards just accepted that Lin Fan had to do this alone.
Even though it was clear that they wanted to come along with him, they seemed to have no choice but to accept this.
Instead of dwelling on this, it seemed like they were focused on helping in other ways.
Such as giving as much information as they could about Weeping Mist Forest.
"The Weeping Mist Forest is made up of many different zones, but there are three layers to the different zones of the Weeping Mist Forest. The deeper that you get, the more powerful the spirit beasts become."
The leader of the Mist Guards was the one that explained this.
Everyone just listened to him explaining, giving deference to him.
There was a reason why he was the leader of the Mist Guards after all, he had the most experience out of all the Mist Guards that were here.
