These five mysterious individuals were the ones who had previously occupied the best viewing position atop City Gate. As soon as the battle between Lufan and Prince Yu concluded, they vanished without a trace. At that moment, everyone was caught up in the frenzy, and no one noticed how these individuals left.
Now, they were gathered in a private room of a Restaurant.
While the entire city was celebrating, they were completely different from the people outside, discussing something with serious expressions.
"I never expected Prince Yu to be defeated by a Fourth-Rank Martial Practitioner," remarked a small, elderly man, clearly still in disbelief over the earlier battle.
"Indeed, after this fight, it may take Prince Yu a long time to recover. I wonder if he still has any chance of breaking through," another elderly man with a kind face added.
"Hmph, this is simply disgraceful for us Martial Arts Masters!" said a middle-aged man with a stern expression, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Listening to him, it turned out that all five present were indeed Martial Arts Masters!
"It's no wonder; that young man was truly astonishing. Not to mention Prince Yu, even among us, aside from Dragon Lao and Zhu Lao, I wouldn't dare say we could secure a win under those circumstances," the Kind-Hearted Elder continued.
"Hmph!" The cold-faced middle-aged man snorted but did not refute the statement.
"A new generation surpasses the old; today's youth are indeed quite formidable."
A silence fell over the room as everyone seemed to reflect on this statement, lost in their thoughts.
At that moment, cheers erupted from outside, mixed with shouts of encouragement. It turned out that a pair of Martial Cultivators, having had too much to drink, had differing opinions on the earlier battle and decided to settle their disagreements with a fight.
"Come on! As Fierce Beasts would say, matters of martial arts should be resolved with fists. Let's see who is right!"
"Come on, who’s afraid of whom? If you lose later, don’t cry like a girl!"
"Pah! You’re the one acting like a girl. I’ll beat you until you look like one!"
Then, outside, a flurry of punches and kicks erupted, and the crowd cheered even louder.
"It seems that Qingyang City is about to slip out of control. Dragon Lao, what do you and the Silver Moon Sect plan to do?" Kind-Hearted Elder sighed and suddenly turned to ask.
The elder referred to as Dragon Lao had a flushed face, a robust figure, and an extremely imposing appearance. He had been silent since earlier, lightly tapping his fingers on the table, deep in thought.
He was indeed from the Silver Moon Sect, but it was unclear why he had secretly come to Qingyang City and what his purpose was.
Suddenly being questioned, he paused his fingers and snapped back to reality.
After he understood the question, he smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "Just a bunch of lowly people; they won’t turn the tide. Let them enjoy themselves for a few days; they will regret it later. Our Silver Moon Sect is not so easy to resist!"
Dragon Lao's smile was filled with coldness, making others shiver at the sight.
"Ah, I hope your sect's methods won't be too extreme," Kind-Hearted Elder said with a sympathetic expression.
"When did you become so compassionate, Smiling Face Yama?" Dragon Lao mocked with a smirk.
"I’m just lamenting the ignorance of life. However, since it’s not about Qingyang City, what were you thinking about earlier?" Kind-Hearted Elder smiled but clearly did not take Dragon Lao's words to heart; his demeanor was not as kind as it seemed.
"I was wondering if none of you have any thoughts about that young man?" Dragon Lao tapped the table, hinting at something.
Everyone present changed their expressions and exchanged glances, but no one spoke. In the end, it was Smiling Face Yama who cautiously asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? I hope none of you are pretending to be clueless. Don’t you realize the value of that young man?"
The four fell silent again.
Indeed, how could they not be aware? It was precisely because they were aware that they remained here, unwilling to leave, hoping for even the slightest chance.
"To put it bluntly," Dragon Lao said, his expression growing increasingly intense, "I believe you all see it too. That young man not only possesses a mysterious and powerful inheritance, but more importantly, he can invoke 'Calamity'. This is a realm that only a Grandmaster can touch. The value in this is astonishing, and I think you all understand this better than I do."
The four remained silent but tacitly acknowledged Dragon Lao's words.
In their eyes, Lufan's value was not just astonishing; it was simply immeasurable!
"Not to mention, among the Secret Techniques he has demonstrated, several can reach the upper Third Rank level," Dragon Lao continued.
"That technique that can transform into a golden body can reach First Rank," Zhu Lao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
"Indeed, a First Rank Secret Technique. Even within the ranks of major Sects, there are very few of those. To think it has appeared in the hands of a boy from a remote little town! I dare say that once this news spreads, it will immediately cause countless ripples."
There was one point that Dragon Lao did not mention explicitly, but he knew everyone could see: the Secret Techniques used by Lufan were vastly different from the inheritances of the major Sects of this era!
The implications of this were quite astonishing.
His tone grew increasingly persuasive: "And then there's 'Calamity'. That young man can actually invoke 'Calamity'. If we could understand the reasons behind this, would it not mean that we might also have a chance to glimpse the mysteries of the Grandmaster?"
At these words, the breaths of the four became heavier, clearly stirred by his thoughts.
Who among those who could become a Martial Arts Master did not dream of reaching the level of a Grandmaster one day?
Thus, for a Martial Arts Master, what Dragon Lao said held an almost fatal allure.
However, Martial Arts Masters are all individuals with strong willpower. The four momentarily lost control but quickly freed themselves from temptation and regained their composure.
Smiling Face Yama said with a bitter smile, "Did we ever not know the immense value of that young man? But so what? Now someone is protecting him; who can touch a single hair on his head?"
"This is uncertain!"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
The four felt confused. They had certainly noticed that since earlier, Dragon Lao had been emphasizing the value of that young man to entice them, but could he not see that this was simply impossible?
"What I want to say is, are you interested in joining me to kidnap that young man?"
"What!" The four were taken aback.
Smiling Face Yama exclaimed sharply, "Are you crazy? Can't you see Gong Laogui is right there? Prince Yu may be inexperienced, but how could we not see? Since Gong Laogui is here, it means 'that person' must also be in Qingyang City!"
"Exactly!" The cold-faced middle-aged man could no longer remain calm. "With 'that person' around, you still dare to talk about kidnapping? You know what his temper is like; are you looking for death?"
Why were they sighing here? It was precisely because of the presence of "that person." Otherwise, they would have rushed into Qingyang Academy to snatch him away long ago. With just Gong Laogui, even combined with the strange Huang Lao, they could not stop the five of them who were Martial Arts Masters.
"What if I told you that 'the gentleman' is not currently in Qingyang City?"
Dragon Lao's expression was calm as he made a shocking statement, suddenly dropping a bombshell!
