This person... Ling Chen’s heart was stirred, and he imdiately recognized the old Taoist. This person was a distinguished guest invited by the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, who had been close to Su i these past few days, personally hosted by her. It was a surprise to see him take action himself.
Interesting! Ling Chen’s lips curled slightly; for Heavenly chanism Pavilion to value him so highly indicated that the old Taoist on the stage was extraordinary. It was a perfect chance to see what skills this old Taoist possessed.
At this mont, the two opponents on the stage exchanged glances, and the middle-aged man coldly spoke: "You’re just a stinking Taoist; why aren’t you staying peacefully in your sanctuary? What are you doing in a place like this? Get down! Don’t bring trouble upon yourself."
Faced with the man’s reprimand, the old Taoist remained unmoved, embodying a sense of tranquility, like a serene pool of water, maintaining calm amidst any storm, without a ripple.
"Please enlighten !" The old Taoist slightly bowed, slowly uttering three words.
"Looking for death!" The middle-aged man shouted coldly, lightly tapping his toe, his body instantly vanished from its original spot. The next second, the middle-aged man appeared behind the old Taoist, aiming a punch straight at the back of his head.
However, the old Taoist remained standing there, seemingly unaware of the middle-aged man’s punch aid at him. Just when everyone thought the old Taoist would undoubtedly lose, his body suddenly disappeared.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was greatly shocked, Ling Chen and Tong Zhentian included.
Ling Chen and Tong Zhentian were both masters on the Heavenly List, with Tong Zhentian being a martial arts icon, renowned for years, ranking among the top three in Huaxia’s martial arts community. Yet, the old Taoist’s displayed skills left even Tong Zhentian aghast.
Despite standing still, the old Taoist suddenly switched positions; what level of skill was required for such an act? Even Tong Zhentian himself, though capable of reaching extre speed in a short ti, would still have to move his legs. However, the old Taoist remained motionless, seemingly teleporting from one point to another.
Missing the punch, the middle-aged man was montarily stunned. Expecting a sure hit, he was surprised to find the old Taoist had evaded it. Without much thought, the middle-aged man continued his assault on the old Taoist. However, as he approached the old Taoist’s body, an invisible force seed to burst out from the old Taoist’s form.
In an instant, the middle-aged man’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string, sharply falling out of the stage onto the ground.
Pfft!
Blood spurted, and the middle-aged man’s face turned pale as he lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long ti. anwhile, several Heavenly chanism Pavilion disciples quickly arrived, pulling the middle-aged man from the ground and dragging him out of the crowd.
As the middle-aged man was taken away, the old Taoist slowly walked down the stage, following behind the pavilion disciples, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
"Elder Tong, let’s go over and take a look." Saying this, Ling Chen quickly pursued in the direction of the old Taoist’s departure.
Soon, the two arrived at the VIP lounge of the venue. As they were about to enter, several Heavenly chanism Pavilion disciples guarding the door suddenly blocked Ling Chen and Tong Zhentian.
The action made Ling Chen furrow his brows slightly, and he asked, "What’s the aning of this?"
"Sorry, Mr. Ling, Elder Tong, the Pavilion Master has instructed not to be disturbed at the mont."
"Are we not allowed to enter either? Go notify your Pavilion Master, and say we’re waiting outside to see if she wants us to co in." Ling Chen said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly erged at the door of the VIP lounge. Seeing the person, Ling Chen was slightly surprised and smiled, "Xiao, we et again."
"Ah, it’s you, Ling." Xiao Dan nodded politely and asked, "Are you two here to see Master Su?"
"Indeed!"
"Then co in, Master Su is inside."
Hearing this, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion disciples guarding the door quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, the Pavilion Master has ordered not to..."
Xiao Dan, sounding impatient, interrupted, "If Master Su has any bla to place, I’ll take full responsibility." With that, Xiao Dan stepped aside and invited Ling Chen and Tong Zhentian into the VIP lounge.
Entering the lounge, Ling Chen imdiately heard Du Kang and Su i’s voices coming from the adjacent room. Pushing the door open, he saw seven or eight people inside, including the old Taoist who had displayed his skills on the stage earlier.
In the corner of the room sat a middle-aged man, the sa person defeated on the stage by the old Taoist. At this mont, Du Kang was interrogating the middle-aged man.
Seeing Ling Chen and Tong Zhentian enter, Su i seed startled and asked, "Elder Tong, why are you here?"
"We saw you capture this man, so we wanted to co and take a look." Tong Zhentian said, "How’s it going, have you got anything out of him?"
Du Kang replied, "This guy’s mouth is tight; he hasn’t said a word since he ca in. However, I suspect he might be a mber of the Dark Pavilion."
"Elder Du, have you searched him?"
"We’ve searched, but found nothing."
Ling Chen’s eyes twinkled, and he imdiately had an idea, saying, "Elder Du, if you don’t mind, let have a try."
Du Kang nodded and gestured ’please.’ At that, Ling Chen approached the middle-aged man, without a word, took out a bottle of dicine from his pocket, poured out a pill, and presented it to him.
"I don’t need to say what this is; I’m sure you recognize it."
Seeing the pill in Ling Chen’s hand, the middle-aged man’s expression finally showed a slight change. Noticing his reaction, Ling Chen smiled gently. This detail alone was enough to confirm that the middle-aged man before him was definitely a mber of the Dark Pavilion.
"I know your ti is almost up. Without the antidote, you’re bound to die. So, now you have a chance to live. If you cooperate with , I’ll give you an antidote, and you’ll live for another month."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Living an extra month, what good will that do? I’ll die anyway."
"No." Ling Chen shook his head, "I will give you a way out; then you can find people from the Dark Pavilion, and they’ll continue to provide you with the antidote. But first, you must tell , aside from yourself, where are the others? You deliberately attracted everyone’s attention to the stage, so you must have a purpose. Right?"
Watching Ling Chen play with the antidote in his hand, the middle-aged man seed to fall into contemplation, with his head down, his eyes flickering, showing a hesitant expression.
Seeing the middle-aged man’s hesitation, Ling Chen laughed and said, "Don’t hesitate; I know inside you’ve already agreed, you just can’t say it."
