The Cane Grandmaster and the others retreated upon hearing the sound.
They naturally believed in the Old Island Master's strength.
Thus, they observed while tending to their injuries...
The Old Island Master still appeared as carefree as ever.
However, none of the old sect leaders from the Thirty-Six Gates dared to attack proactively!
Most adopted a wait-and-see attitude, or rather, they waited for their companions to make a move!
Thus, a stalemate ensued.
Seeing this, the Old Island Master scanned the crowd, a faint smile appearing on his face once more, "Heh heh... so, you dare not?"
This remark, no matter how it was heard, carried a sense of provocation.
Dare not?
The tempers of the Thirty-Six Gates Grandmasters were instantly ignited.
"Heh heh..."
"Old Island Master, aren't you looking down on us a bit too much with those words!"
"Alright, today we'll let you see how powerful we are!"
A few of the more hot-blooded old grandmasters charged forward.
Upon seeing this, the Old Island Master casually remarked, "Good... a welcome arrival!"
In a moment, the Old Island Master met them head-on.
And unleashed a Cloud Hand.
The Cloud Hand was the Old Island Master's renowned ultimate technique.
As the name suggests, this Cloud Hand was as elusive as clouds, unpredictable, and ethereal!
It gave people a dazzling, disorienting feeling.
Before the three old grandmasters who rushed at him could react, their chests were brushed by the Old Island Master's Cloud Hand, as lightly as a dragonfly touching water...
In just an instant, the three were ruthlessly repelled.
One after another, stumbling, they fell to the ground...
These scenes caused all the grandmasters present to widen their eyes in disbelief!
They couldn't believe what they were seeing!
This...
How was this possible?
How could he be so strong?
The power displayed by the Old Island Master clearly shattered their worldviews!
After all, in this era, they themselves, the grandmasters, were already the strongest existences!
Yet now, someone even stronger than them by many times had appeared?
They were starting to doubt their own lives!
"You..."
"How can you be so strong?"
"This..."
Hoo hoo...
Many people's breathing suddenly became rapid, their faces contorted, feeling immense pressure!
After all, facing such an old monster, how could they possibly fight?
Even if they all put their lives on the line today, it would likely be futile!
The moment the Old Island Master displayed his strength, the grandmasters of the Thirty-Six Gates no longer dared to act rashly.
After all, this Old Island Master had just repelled three veteran grandmasters with three casual palm strikes!
The Old Island Master scanned the crowd again and slowly said, "Do you wish to continue?"
Continue?!
In this situation, continue for what?!
They weren't brainless!
Damn it...
What was there to fight for?!
"What realm are you in now?"
Some grandmaster couldn't hold back and asked.
The Old Island Master surveyed them all and calmly replied, "Currently, I should be in the Grandmaster realm, also known as the True Qi realm!"
There was a chasm between the True Qi realm and the Inner Qi realm!
The old grandmasters of the Thirty-Six Gates were all in a daze at this moment; facing such a powerful old fellow, what was the point of fighting?
They didn't want to court disaster, like lighting a lamp in a latrine to look for shit...
Hoo hoo...
One by one, they tried to calm their emotions!
"We admit we are outmatched, so let's forget it!"
"Indeed!"
"We have no intention of humiliating ourselves further!"
In their eyes, the Grandmaster realm had reached a level that surpassed everything.
However, it was true that Grandmasters could wreak havoc with impunity in this era...
"I... we concede!"
