"Well then, Senior, I won't take any more of your time and will be taking my leave for now. Hopefully the sect alliance will work out in favour of my sect and the rest of the independent sects!"
After spending a few more minutes chatting with the Great General about what he had been doing during his time outside the Sky Empire and what kind of opportunities he had encountered that allowed him to reach the Peak of the Seventh Stage of the Domain Lord Realm, Xuan Hao got up and began to leave the meeting hall.
"Haha, no worries at all fellow cultivator, I will make sure your Stone Ridge Sect will get treated well!" Smiling happily as he said this while waving goodbye to Xuan Hao, the Great General was clearly satisfied with their short conversation and the possible new friendship he had managed to establish.
The same could not be said for the three people from the major sects who had listened to the conversation about Xuan Hao's adventures outside the Sky Empire from the side.
