Before entering the Prince of Yan City, Hua Tianxiong retrieved the Early Tier 4 chasing wind leopard into the Beast Taming Area of the Star Realm Cauldron. He was well aware of the danger of carrying a treasured jade that incited covetousness, so he disguised himself as a youth in silver armor wearing a black cloak before entering the city.
Regardless of his actual strength, Hua Tianxiong still felt it necessary to put on a careful disguise to avoid unnecessary trouble. Before entering, he also transferred Liu Yinghui—one of the thirty-five Yan Army Guards whose cultivation was at the Early Tier 7 Martial General stage—out of the cultivation area of the Star Realm Cauldron.
He chose Liu Yinghui because Liu was quite familiar with the Prince of Yan City and had once personally served as its Inspector General, meaning that everything about the city was imprinted in Liu Yinghui's mind. Hua Tianxiong could leverage Liu Yinghui's familiarity to make his actions in the Prince of Yan City much easier.
