Before the Huaxia Elder could even finish his words, one of the 'visiting' guys seemed to have been angered, and gotten impatient, as he didn't immediately send a probing pressure toward the Huaxia Elder.
It was a sneak attack, and a quite unexpected one at that, as neither side would want for this to end up in a full blown battle, but the Huaxia Elder didn't seem bothered by the pressure.
"What is the meaning of this!?"
Even though he didn't seem perturbed by the pressure, his face still darkened quite a bit and turned ugly as he asked with a scary and threatening tone.
Each and every one of these old fogies understood just what was going on, and it was precisely due to that, that they were all acting their part perfectly.
The foreigners wanted to check up on the remaining strength of the Huaxia Elders, while the Huaxia Elder were trying to put a strong front and frighten the visitors a bit.
