The dispute immediately drew the attention of those nearby.
"What's going on?"
"We're all here for the meeting. Let's not spoil the goodwill between us."
An elderly man came over to mediate.
"Elder Wang."
Zhao Tianci cupped his hands in greeting and said, "This Daoist Qiu spoke disrespectfully and looked down on the Zhao family. I was just about to have a word with him."
"Oh?"
Elder Wang turned to the Dragon Tiger Daoist and asked, "Daoist Qiu, could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Elder Wang."
Shen Boxia said, "Brother Qiu did nothing wrong."
"Mr. Zhao wanted Brother Qiu and me to introduce him to Mr. Jiang. But as you surely know, a man like Mr. Jiang comes and goes without a trace. Neither Brother Qiu nor I know his whereabouts."
"Besides."
"Even if we did, we truly wouldn't dare introduce anyone to him without his permission."
His tone was gentle, his manner sincere.
He treated the elderly man before him with great respect.
This man was a Clan Elder of the Wang family and held an extremely honored position.
All the Eight Great Families had sent representatives to today's meeting. The pond was shallow, but it was packed with big fish, each one claiming to rule the waters.
"I see."
At the mention of "Mr. Jiang," Elder Wang's expression grew solemn.
After the Spring City incident, who among the higher ranks of the Southern Supernatural Circle hadn't heard of this mysterious powerhouse?
His strength...
Was beyond measure!
According to the conclusion they had reached in their discussions, he had attained at least the Sage Realm.
A Sage!
Aside from those old monsters who had long withdrawn from the world, who alive could rival him? More importantly, this Mr. Jiang was astonishingly young-only in his twenties!
In his twenties.
A Sage!
