I Cultivated Too Long and Got Isekai'd Into a Game

"Grand Elder? Really?"

"Now that you mention it... he looks just like the portrait of the Grand Elder when he was young!"

"I knew it! The Great Elder didn’t forsake us—much less died during the war!"

"What?" Xu Tao, hearing the disciples’ chatter after they learned of his identity, caught a few words that pricked his ears. "Me? Dying? War? What’s that...?"

"Perhaps you don’t know?" one of the five stepped forward, about to explain when—

"Before that, how can you prove you’re truly the Great Elder Xu Tao?" another grumbled, arms crossed before his chest. "I mean, I could just claim I’m the Grand Elder, too. Show us proof, you know? Proof!"

Xu Tao chuckled, shaking his head.

"Impertinent child..." he sighed. "Alright. But before I show proof, let’s head inside first. Don’t worry, I won’t eat you alive or anything."

Jehanne’s group had already gone inside, leaving only Xu Tao and the five outer disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect. As such, he didn’t dare delay further and dragged the five in.

After entering the door, seeing that Jehanne and her five knights were talking in hushed voices at the far end, Xu Tao climbed up the stairs without paying them any heed. "Over here," he urged the rest.

The stairs were straight, so it didn’t take long to reach the second floor. As soon as they did, Xu Tao chose the room furthest from where Jehanne’s group was and sat directly on the floor, cross-legged.
