"Yo, you three are having quite a lively chat."
As the three finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from behind them.
The trio turned their heads simultaneously and saw Yu Daohan standing behind them without them knowing when.
Their faces instantly flushed crimson, an embarrassment so profound they could have carved out a living room.
Yu Daohan pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and placed a piece of meat in his mouth, chewing it.
Su Lai and the other two exchanged glances. Zhang Xiaoqiang and Da Hu exchanged a look. Su Lai rolled his eyes and tentatively asked, "Master Yu, how much of our conversation did you hear?"
Yu Daohan shook his head, "Not much, just all of it."
Su Lai looked embarrassed, wishing he hadn't asked.
Yu Daohan picked up another piece of meat and put it in his mouth, sighing, "Some friends, you talk and talk, and then somehow they end up dead. Sigh."
Zhang Xiaoqiang quickly changed the subject, "Hey Master Yu, you won't believe who Su Lai and I ran into yesterday."
Fifth on the Black List? Yu Daohan had also heard Su Lai mention the fifth on the Black List earlier.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, "That's right, fifth on the Black List, and he was looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Yu Daohan looked confused. He didn't even know who the fifth on the Black List was, let alone why they would be looking for him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Su Lai recounted the events of the previous night in detail.
After listening, Yu Daohan was even more perplexed, "Is that true? I don't think I've offended that guy."
Zhang Xiaoqiang revealed a lewd smile, "Master Yu, do you know what the fifth on the Black List's surname is?"
"It's Yu." The moment Yu Daohan spoke, he suddenly realized what Zhang Xiaoqiang was getting at.
"You brat, you don't actually think the fifth on the Black List has something to do with me, do you?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang smirked, "Otherwise, why would he suddenly come looking for you?"
Yu Daohan rolled his eyes, "How should I know? My entire family is dead, how could it have anything to do with me? Besides, I don't remember any relatives of mine being in this line of work."
Although Yu Daohan said this, he was still puzzled as to why the fifth on the Black List was looking for him.
But whatever the reason, it was fortunate that Qiangzi and the others were unharmed. It was best to let things take their course; overthinking would only lead to more troubles.
"Master Yu, Master Yu, when did you learn to transform? We didn't know!" Zhang Xiaoqiang exclaimed excitedly.
Su Lai and Da Hu beside him also looked at Yu Daohan with excitement.
Last night, they had heard Ye Mei talk about Yu Daohan's sudden berserk state, but by the time they found Yu Daohan, he had already returned to normal.
Yu Daohan sighed helplessly and explained the entire process of fusing with the Ghost Horn.
He did not mention anything about the Qiankun Mirror.
The three were all shocked after listening. Su Lai blurted out, "Holy crap, so if you unleash the Ghost Horn power, you can go head-to-head with the top ten experts on the Heaven Ranking!"
Yu Daohan nodded. With his Samsara Blood Tears and the Ghost Horn power, he might indeed be able to contend with the top ten experts on the Heaven Ranking.
It was a shame that this was ultimately an external force with a time limit. It was possible that he would be worn down and killed by the opponent before he could even finish them off.
"You have to be strong yourself to forge steel; that's the real truth."
Hearing Yu Daohan say this, Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately got excited, "Quick, quick, quick, Master Yu, show us a transformation!"
Yu Daohan rolled his eyes, "Get lost. This thing needs Yin energy to activate, and I only have one more chance. That's my life-saving trump card, and you've seen the side effects of this thing before."
To be honest, even if it didn't require Yin energy to activate, he didn't want to use it.
Using it once left him utterly exhausted. Who could handle that?
However, Yu Daohan was also wondering if his current frail state was due to using the Samsara Blood Tears too often in the past.
Now with the addition of the Ghost Horn, it was like he was being pushed to his death. Fortunately, the Nine-Life Samsara Eye had been upgraded, and the side effects were not as severe as before.
As Yu Daohan was thinking this, Zhang Xiaoqiang spoke up, "Speaking of which, Master Yu, both the Nine-Life Samsara Eye and the Ghost Horn leave you exhausted after use. Can your frail body handle it?"
Yu Daohan glared at him unhappily, "What do you mean by that? What's wrong with my body? Can it not handle a Nine-Life Samsara Eye and a Ghost Horn?"
Da Hu and Su Lai, though silent, looked unconvinced.
If he could handle it, he wouldn't look so frail.
"Oh right, where's that kid Zhou Fu?" Yu Daohan suddenly remembered that the kid wasn't there when he first woke up, and he hadn't seen him after waking up.
Da Hu picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Doesn't he have a competition tomorrow? He went to watch early this morning."
Yu Daohan shook his head helplessly. That kid was really dedicated, making him, the sect leader, feel a bit out of place.
As the four were chatting, Zhou Fu walked in from outside the hotel.
"There, your kid is back." Zhang Xiaoqiang pointed towards the hotel entrance with his chin.
Yu Daohan turned his head to look and saw Zhou Fu walking towards the four with a serious expression.
Zhou Fu reached their table, and Yu Daohan pulled out a chair, "Sit down quickly."
Zhou Fu sat down obediently, his face looking a bit grim, "I'm sorry, Sect Leader. I should have stayed by your side."
