The Medallion novel Chapter 103

Bryant was sitting calmly in his tiger chair, stone-faced. Although he showed no emotion, the august aura oozing out of him awed everyone in his presence. No one could tell what was on his mind. The senior elders of the Ximen Clan sat on both of Bryant's sides. They were all spirit manipulators at the advanced level of the Supernal Stage, with the exception of one of them who was already at the entry level of the Divine Stage. Their individual strengths alone were formidable enough, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. One could only imagine the full power of the Ximen Clan. In fact, their strength greatly concerned the emperor who had been trying desperately to weaken them.

The rest of the people sitting in for the gathering were all the important members of the Ximen Clan. They were also incredibly powerful as all of them was above the middle level of the Heavenly Stage. Some of them had even reached the entry level of the Supernal Stage.

Rocky was well aware that these people's strength was still only a small portion of the Ximen Clan. With these elites gathering together, it showed that Ximen Clan took this meeting with Rocky very seriously.

Rocky entered the hall, escorted by four spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage. Everyone including Bryant turned to look at him even before the escorts announced his arrival.

They had all heard a great deal about Rocky recently as news about him were all over the Holy Dragon Empire, which was indeed unparalleled. Among the people seated, no one else except for Bryant and a couple of elders had met Rocky before. The rest of them had no idea what Rocky looked like.

Therefore, almost everyone was staring at him from the very moment that he entered the hall, all of them hoping to gain a clear picture of his appearance.

They were quite surprised to see a young man with a tall and strong build, oozing with energetic aura. He was contradictory to the thin and weak royal member in their imagination. There was no sign of him being a useless imbecile, but rather, he looked like a very promising young man. They had no idea that he looked nothing like he was now two months ago.

Bryant stood up to greet him as he saw him enter.

Everyone was a little unsettled to see this as there were not many people that Bryant would personally greet. They could really tell that Bryant took the young man very seriously. Rocky was the rising star of the Holy Dragon Empire now, and he was the only royal spirit manipulator who had fused with the power of the Holy Dragon Bead. It went without saying that there was no limit to what he could achieve. Having a family member of this status would not be a bad thing for Ximen Clan.

Seeing Bryant standing up, everyone else followed suit.

"Greetings, General Ximen and elders of Ximen Clan…" Rocky paid his respects to everyone present. He glanced around and found that his future wife, Shirley, was nowhere to be seen.

A few moments after he finished paying his respects, he sensed an overwhelming spiritual pressure coming straight towards him. It felt like a giant beast was pressing its giant claw down on him and there was no escape. It brought a strong shock and deep fear in everyone.
