Sometimes, only by losing something can one truly understand the beauty of possession.
During the time they served under the Lord of the Shenxiao Gate, Zhang Jie and his peers had no status at all. Even though they were First-grade strong martial artists, they dared not reveal their identity as heirs of the Shenxiao Sect, and were forced to live in the shadows.
But after they had sworn allegiance to the Lord, they no longer needed to hide in fear. They regained their dignity and glory, and no one could belittle them anymore.
When they introduced themselves as members of the Shenxiao Sect in their dealings with others, they were met with envy, jealousy, fear, and reverence.
This was the first time Zhang Jie had tasted the dignity of being a strong martial artist. He was almost lost in its allure, unwilling to wake up from what felt like a dream.
