Zhou Fu, standing nearby, walked over and said with guilt, "Master, I'm sorry, I..."
Yu Daohan raised his hand to stop him. "You did nothing wrong, in fact, you did very well. If you encounter such a situation in the future, don't consider the consequences, just kill them!"
Zhou Fu's face broke into a smile. "Yes, Master."
Yu Daohan left with Hao Tian Quan, but suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Zhou Fu. "From now on, call me Sect Leader."
Hearing this, Zhou Fu was stunned. After a long pause, he slowly uttered a few words, "Okay, Sect Leader!"
The people around, seeing there was no more drama, also dispersed, leaving only Zhou Fu standing still.
Watching Yu Daohan leave, Zhou Fu clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness and confusion.
Why, why!
Didn't my performance today prove my talent and strength?
Why are you willing to take Zhou Fu as a disciple but not me!
In terms of strength or talent, how is Zhou Fu stronger than me!
If it were Zhou Fu, he would have died on the spot today.
He thought that Yu Daohan teaching him the Fire Separation Slash was one step closer to becoming his disciple.
But now it seemed he was still stuck in the same place.
Hao Tian Quan glanced back at Zhou Fu, who was standing still, without saying anything. Only when he was out of Zhou Fu's sight did he slowly speak, "Young Master Yu, that kid has good talent, and he seems very eager to be your disciple."
Yu Daohan naturally understood what Hao Tian Quan meant and retorted, "Hao Ye, what do you think of that kid?"
Hao Tian Quan thought for a moment and slowly said, "He's a good prospect, but unfortunately, his killing intent is too strong, and his actions are too decisive. Once this kind of personality goes astray, it's irrecoverable."
Yu Daohan shook his head helplessly and sighed, "That's what I'm worried about. If he were just a bit hot-tempered, it would be nothing, but if he goes down the wrong path..."
Hao Tian Quan smiled faintly. "He's young, and his present doesn't represent his future. I still remember when Young Master Yu..."
Yu Daohan smiled awkwardly. "Hao Ye, please don't mention those embarrassing things from back then."
When Yu Daohan first entered the martial world, he was incredibly arrogant, looking down on everyone.
Especially after taking first place on the Earth Ranking, he even boasted that he would challenge Hao Tian Quan.
At that time, Hao Tian Quan didn't take it seriously, as who would care about what a child said.
But half a year later, it was rumored that Yu Daohan fought an even match with Huang Yong, eighth on the Black Ranking, in Jiangdu.
From then on, Yu Daohan became famous overnight, his reputation echoing throughout the martial world, earning him the moniker "Young Master Yu of Jiangdu."
This later led to the title of Peerless Prodigy.
Yu Daohan still couldn't believe what he was thinking back then.
How could he have thought he could contend with Hao Tian Quan.
But people, who hasn't had a time of youthful vigor.
Even the mighty Hao Tian Quan was once hung up and spanked.
"Actually, Young Master Yu, you also have plans to take that kid as a disciple, right?" Hao Tian Quan looked at Yu Daohan and smiled.
If Yu Daohan had no such intentions, he wouldn't have taught that kid the Five Elements Technique.
Yu Daohan smiled faintly, not hiding anything. "To be honest, it's hard to say I have no thoughts, but not now."
Hao Tian Quan naturally understood that Yu Daohan was testing the kid and reminded him, "Young Master Yu, with that kid's personality, he can't withstand such a test. I've seen too many young people go astray because of this."
Yu Daohan also understood that this method was not ideal, but he had no other choice.
Those in their line of work understood a principle.
It is better to let a skill be lost than to pass it on carelessly.
Not to mention that the disciples they teach should be those who uphold justice and vanquish demons, but they absolutely cannot be those with wicked intentions and who commit all sorts of evil.
Yu Daohan looked at Hao Tian Quan, somewhat curious, "Hao Ye, what is the content of the continued meeting?"
Hao Tian Quan smiled faintly and didn't reveal it. "You'll know when you get there."
Seeing Hao Tian Quan's sly expression, Yu Daohan knew it wouldn't be anything good.
Even if it were something good, it wouldn't be his turn.
"We're here, let's go in."
The two arrived at the entrance of the meeting hall. Hao Tian Quan pushed open the door and led Yu Daohan inside.
As Yu Daohan walked in, he saw some old acquaintances already seated and waiting.
Yu Daohan inwardly cursed his bad luck.
This was like walking into a wolf's den!
He saw Nan Jingshuo, the Immortal Aunt Wang You, and the sect leaders of the three major sects were all there.
There were also several experts of his generation.
Wang Fubao of Wanfo Temple, Liang Jing of Tianshi Mansion, and Wang Fubao of the Northeast Spirit Medium.
And one person he really wanted to meet, Shi Bingzhi, the fortune teller who sells knives.
The rest were also well-known experts in the martial world.
Wang Ming's face showed his signature wicked smile. "Long time no see, Benefactor Yu."
"Yes, it's been almost a year."
Yu Daohan was helpless. Wasn't he heard to be seriously injured in a great battle last time? How did he look like he was fine now?
Could it be that he recovered after a year of recuperation?
Liang Jing, standing beside him, looked at Yu Daohan. "Master Yu."
Yu Daohan nodded politely, and then heard Wang Fubao say happily, "Master Yu, you've become much stronger since we last saw each other over a year ago."
Yu Daohan smiled and teased, "Brother Wang, on the contrary, you've gotten a bit older."
Wang Fubao awkwardly scratched the back of his head and laughed, "You know how it is in our profession."
Yu Daohan nodded and looked at Shi Bingzhi. He had a question he had been wanting to ask him.
Shi Bingzhi knew what Master Yu wanted to ask and said, "I know what Master Yu wants to ask. I will tell you everything after the conference."
Yu Daohan nodded and found a chair to sit down, both fearful and eager to know the answer.
Li Shaohun saw that everyone had arrived and slowly said, "Since everyone is here, let Xiao Nan explain the purpose of gathering everyone here."
Nan Jingshuo, standing beside him, nodded and began to speak. "Actually, the purpose of gathering everyone here is regarding the recent actions of the Divine Religion, or more accurately, regarding the sealing of the entrances to other layers of hell."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.
Yu Daohan frowned, a bad premonition forming in his mind.
Could it be that the Divine Religion had already found the entrances to other layers of hell?
Nan Jingshuo continued, "You must all know the tragic state of affairs after the seal of the seventh layer of hell's entrance was broken last time. Even now, we are unable to completely eradicate these evil spirits."
Yu Daohan remained silent. From Nan Jingshuo's words, it seemed like they were being asked to undertake a dangerous mission.
If he had known it was something like this, he shouldn't have come along.
"Nanye, just say what you need to say. What do you need us to do?" Liang Jing asked.
He had long been curious about what kind of mission this was.
Five days ago, while he was still in his sect, Li Shaohun had instructed him to come to this Gathering of Heroes, but not to attend the gathering itself. He was told there was another mission, but it was not specified.
Wang Ming and Wang Fubao, and others were in the same situation.
They were all summoned here by their sect leaders, and none of them had explained the mission.
