Although the old Taoist's words were unpleasant, he now stood with him, feeling quite moved. He didn't respond further.
At this moment, Liu Sheng and the other two exchanged glances, not daring to make a move easily. After all, Chen Fan's strength was not ordinary. He alone could have beaten all of them! Not long ago, Chen Fan, with his own strength, had forced two Grandmasters from Kunlong Island to back down. One could imagine how powerful he was.
Liu Sheng said sternly, "Old Taoist, you're truly shameless, using Chen Fan to scare us!"
The old Taoist smiled at this. "Speaking of shamelessness, none of you are as shameless as you are!"
"You three old fellows ganging up on one person, how can you even be embarrassed!"
"And speaking of which, can we have some dignity?"
"You..." Liu Sheng and the other two were stumped for words. Damn it... they felt unhappy! But there was nothing they could do! They couldn't possibly oppose Chen Fan. Thinking about it, they had no choice but to let it go! If they didn't, they risked losing both the wife and the soldiers.
The old Taoist snorted, "What? Did I say something wrong!"
"..." Liu Sheng and the other two remained silent, paying him no mind.
Seeing this, the old Taoist added, "It seems you won't be making things difficult for the Ancient Sect anymore, right!"
Liu Sheng and the others were like mutes, unable to speak. Their silence also implied their tacit agreement!
Seeing this, the old Taoist gruffly told Gu Liang, "Old scum, don't thank me too much!"
Gu Liang sincerely replied, "Thank you!"
The old Taoist coldly admonished, "Don't thank me, it's useless. When the time comes, I will still make my move!" Although the old Taoist was sharp-tongued, Gu Liang still felt a sense of gratitude towards him. If he hadn't stepped forward, Gu Liang would have been in great trouble today.
Gu Liang casually added, "Later, if you have time, I can spar with you properly!"
"Alright..." The old Taoist readily agreed, smiling, and then said to the other Grandmasters around, "Old fellows, speaking of which, Kunlong Island has played everyone. If we want compensation, I think we should ask them for it, don't you think?"
"The Ancient Sect can't be caught in the middle and be the unlucky ones!"
At this, everyone started chiming in, "Speaking of which, you're right!"
"Indeed!"
"Yes!"
"Ultimately, we should settle the score with Kunlong Island!"
Hearing this, the old Taoist smiled again, chuckling, "Doesn't this resolve all grievances?"
"Heh heh..."
And so, the focus of the thirty-six sects was, in an instant, redirected. It was aimed squarely at Kunlong Island.
Liu Sheng and the other two, though displeased, followed the crowd and listened to everyone. They decided to target Kunlong Island together.
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, all the old Grandmasters of the thirty-six sects gathered together. Before them stood an ancient, elegant courtyard.
"Old bastards of Kunlong Island, get out here!"
"Quick!"
"Get out immediately, or we're coming in!"
"You tricked us, you must give us an explanation, otherwise, we'll fight you to the end today!"
One after another, they grumbled. At this moment, the Grandmaster with the cane and the bald Grandmaster slowly walked out. Seeing the situation, they felt a sense of helplessness...
