After the One-Qi Dao Alliance's high-level meeting concluded, Xiao Zhen's status instantly changed from Guest Elder to Grand Elder.

The Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom sized Xiao Zhen up and down, unable to resist laughing. "How interesting. Your aura is exceptionally profound. Even at my peak, I fear I would have been no match for you."
"Is that so?
