Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the first one to appear was indeed Leopard Elder.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd below erupted in boisterous cheers.
"Leopard Elder! Leopard Elder!"
Those outside hearing the people inside cheer joined in.
"Leopard Elder! Leopard Elder!"
Leopard Elder raised his hand in a polite gesture, a bitter smile on his face, "Without fear of being laughed at, I have spent 2300 years wandering the world, ever since I was in my leopard form until today. Only now have I truly been in the limelight, with so many people simultaneously chanting my name... Truly, my life has not been in vain."
At these words, the hall exploded into laughter.
"Today, there are two important matters, I'll keep it brief."
