Jia Ren left the Hall of Lingbao and had not walked far when he encountered a few familiar figures standing outside, waiting quietly.
Zhuo Chengdao, Yu Lin, Zong Wu, and Guang Wu stood there, with three junior martial brothers, whom they had met once, standing behind them.
The moment they saw Jia Ren, they were drawn to him as if by a magnet, their eyes filled with an incredibly complex mix of emotions, tinged with a bit of restraint.
To them, Jia Ren was not just their martial brother; he was also the Grand Elder of the Lingbao Sect, wielding immense power.
He had sealed a great number of Bizarre Demons. Despite not possessing the cultivation level of the Mahayana Realm, he fought with strength surpassing that of a Mahayana Stage Cultivator.
"We pay our respects to the Grand Elder."
Guang Wu was the first to salute Jia Ren, and the others quickly followed suit, addressing him as Grand Elder.
