Shun Long was baffled by the Elders' decision to not approach him just yet and try to take him as a personal disciple, especially considering the fighting prowess that he had showed during the fourth test and his immortal-grade bloodline that he had also revealed!
At the same time, he also managed to guess another thing that caused his eyes to widen in realization
''If even the inner court Elders of the sect need to be wary of the powers that are under the sect's influence and don't want to favor any of them blatantly, then the strength behind those powers is definitely nothing to scoff at! Even if those clans and families can't match the strength of the entire Holy sect, they are definitely strong enough to rival the power of some inner court Elders, otherwise the Elders wouldn't be so wary to accept disciples of those powers in the first place!''
