As Zhang Xiaoqiang carried Yu Daohen away, Hao Tianquan looked at Tang Junsheng beside him and asked curiously, "I didn't expect you to agree, Brother Tang. It surprises me."
Tang Junsheng smiled faintly, "He's from the Yan Shu Sect. Of course, I'll help."
Hao Tianquan seemed to have anticipated Tang Junsheng's reply and retorted, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't find it strange, but the one chasing him is that esteemed figure."
Tang Junsheng turned his head to look at Hao Tianquan, revealing a meaningful smile, "What do you wish to know, Brother Hao?"
Hao Tianquan also flashed a inscrutable smile, "Although Zhang Xiaoqiang's talent isn't bad, he's likely not qualified to be an elder of the Yan Shu Sect, is he?"
After speaking, Hao Tianquan changed the subject, "I want to know why Zhang Xiaoqiang became an elder of the Yan Shu Sect!"
Tang Junsheng sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Brother Hao, I'm afraid I can't tell you about this matter. However, I can give you a hint: Zhang Xiaoqiang's identity is very special."
"Special identity?" Hao Tianquan repeated the words.
Hao Tianquan had also sent people to investigate Zhang Xiaoqiang's background. However, the records only showed that Zhang Xiaoqiang was an orphan, adopted by Daoist Lingze of the Heavenly Master's Mansion from a young age and became his disciple.
But if it were merely the status of a disciple of Daoist Lingze, it was still not enough to qualify as an elder of the Yan Shu Sect.
This was clearly unconvincing.
But what was the reason?
As Hao Tianquan was pondering, he heard Tang Junsheng beside him look towards the figure ahead and say, "He's here!"
Hao Tianquan and Forgetful Immortal Aunt simultaneously looked at the figure walking slowly towards them.
The moonlight shone on the old man's face, making Hao Tianquan and the other two tense up.
The old man stopped not far from the three. Hao Tianquan cupped his fists and spoke first, "Junior Hao Tianquan greets Elder Yu."
Tang Junsheng and Forgetful Immortal Aunt beside him also spoke.
"Junior Tang Junsheng of the Yan Shu Sect greets Elder Yu."
"Junior Cui Yiling greets Elder Yu."
The old man nodded and smiled, "I remember the last time we met, Young Hao was seventh on the Heavenly Ranking. I didn't expect that after a few years, you've climbed to third on the Black Ranking and earned the title of the strongest on Earth."
"Elder Yu is too kind. These are just rumors from the martial world," Hao Tianquan said humbly.
The old man ignored Hao Tianquan and looked at Tang Junsheng beside him, "The Yan Shu Sect's power has greatly increased in recent years, and it's not without your contribution. Well done, well done."
Tang Junsheng also cupped his hands, "Elder Yu flatters me."
The old man nodded slightly and looked at Forgetful Immortal Aunt beside him, "It's been so many years, and this young lady has changed. You're not unattractive, yet you chose to become a nun."
Cui Yiling bowed respectfully, "Elder Yu jokes. Renouncing the mortal world is my heart's desire."
"Alas," the old man sighed helplessly and continued, "What brings you three here today?"
Hao Tianquan exchanged glances with the two beside him and said, "The three of us heard there was a fight here and came to investigate. Seeing that the matter was over, we were about to leave when we noticed you were also here, so we waited specifically to greet you."
Earlier, Hao Tianquan and the other two heard people discussing a sect competition at the hotel and rushed to the hotel to see what was happening. As soon as they arrived at the hotel, they saw Yu Daohen jumping out of the window.
So the three of them followed all the way, witnessing the entire process. Just as the matter concluded and the three were about to leave, they sensed Elder Yu's presence, so they waited here specifically.
The old man nodded after hearing this, "So that's how it is. Since you've greeted me, you may attend to your own matters."
"Then we shall take our leave," Hao Tianquan said, looking at Tang Junsheng beside him.
Cui Yiling also looked at Tang Junsheng beside her.
If Tang Junsheng were to fight Elder Yu, he might not have absolute certainty.
After all, Elder Yu was a super expert from the previous generation. Before they even entered this profession, his name had already resounded throughout the martial world.
Even though many years had passed, Elder Yu's name still cast an indelible shadow on their generation.
"Elder Yu, this junior has the audacity to ask for your guidance in a few moves." Tang Junsheng clenched his fists and bowed, his expression extremely serious.
If it weren't for the sect leader's instructions upon their arrival that if Zhang Xiaoqiang encountered any danger, they must do their utmost to save him, he would never have challenged Elder Yu.
The old man was taken aback and smiled, "I have matters to attend to this time. Perhaps next time. If you only wish to climb higher in the rankings, I can give you the title of fifth on the Black Ranking."
Tang Junsheng swallowed, an unprecedented pressure appearing on his face.
He was also a master on the Black Ranking, but the elder before him was different. He had held the position of fifth on the Black Ranking for over thirty years.
"Forgive me."
As soon as Tang Junsheng finished speaking, his entire body lunged towards the old man, simultaneously condensing a pale blue gas in his hand and sending it towards the old man.
Seeing Tang Junsheng suddenly attack him, the old man was not angered. Instead, he smiled faintly, "Tai Chi Yin Hand. It has a bit of flair."
The old man slowly raised one hand. It appeared slow but was as fast as lightning, possessing the essence of Tai Chi's "four ounces repelling a thousand pounds."
Just as Tang Junsheng's palm was about to strike the old man, the old man gently pushed the carotid artery of Tang Junsheng's attacking palm, thus neutralizing Tang Junsheng's strike.
