This statement, upon being uttered, pushed the already tense atmosphere to its absolute limit.
Although the immortal beings opposite them did not all wear grim expressions, they remained silent.
Only Elder Master Hui, gritting his teeth in anger, suddenly slammed the table and roared, "Come on, who's afraid of whom? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"
"If you have the guts, fight with your true form!"
Upon hearing the words "true form," Elder Master Liu, who was on Wang Gang's shoulder, suddenly jumped down, his body transforming into a human shape.
Yu Daohan examined Elder Master Liu's human form.
This was also the first time he had seen Elder Master Liu in his human guise.
Elder Master Liu had always disliked transforming into human form, preferring to remain in his snake form.
But he had to admit, despite the scales on Elder Master Hui's arms and face, he was quite a handsome young man.
Elder Master Liu flicked his tongue, a ferocious smile on his face, "Kid, you've got guts!"
The immortal beings who emerged from the Northeast rarely fought in their true forms.
They primarily relied on their disciples who emerged to unleash their divine abilities.
Elder Master Hui's statement about fighting in true form signified a fight to the death.
One of the two sides was destined to perish!
As the two immortals were about to step out, Elder Master Hui, seated at the head of the table, suddenly spoke, "Elder Liu, there's no need to make things so unpleasant."
Elder Master Liu turned to face Elder Master Hui and sneered, "Elder Hui, don't think I'm afraid just because you outnumber me. If you step out, I'll still fight you!"
The Masters of the Liu family were renowned for their combative spirit!
Yu Daohan was taken aback by these words.
Fighting two against one, Elder Master Liu truly had spirit!
However, fighting in true form was no trivial matter; the outcome was either death or severe injury.
Elder Master Hui, as the leader of the assembled immortals, seemed to possess an aura that did not lose to Elder Master Liu. He spoke slowly, "Elder Liu, I know you are brave and skilled in battle, but fighting me, you likely won't gain much advantage."
Upon hearing this, Elder Master Liu chuckled, "Is that so? Then I must fight even more."
Elder Master Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, "Elder Liu, this is my Hui family's territory. Do you truly intend to fight me?!"
Elder Master Liu glanced at the immortals present, then at Elder Master Hui, his eyes narrowing.
If it were a one-on-one duel, he feared none of the individuals present.
However, this was, after all, their territory, and some respect had to be shown.
But...
Elder Master Liu let out a light, disdainful laugh, "Fighting you? When have I ever been afraid?"
The men of the Liu family never feared any powerful enemy, and besides, these individuals were hardly considered strong opponents.
To put it plainly, apart from the Grand Elder Master Hui, he feared no one in the Hui family!
These words, even Elder Master Hui could not tolerate, "Elder Liu, do you truly think my Hui family has no immortals?!"
"Yes."
Elder Master Liu nodded, prepared to break all ties.
Wang Gang, standing by, felt a knot in his stomach seeing the situation.
He hadn't expected Elder Master Liu to be so hot-tempered!
He already regretted bringing Elder Master Liu here.
No, Elder Master Liu was already being good-tempered.
If Elder Master San were here, heh heh...
They would have likely already started fighting.
Yu Daohan also tensed up.
In this situation, should he intervene or not?
Just as both sides were on the verge of drawing weapons, a voice was heard.
"Young Master Liu, don't force me to hit you!"
As this voice echoed, all the immortals looked sharply in one direction. Those inside the room also turned their gaze towards the outside.
Elder Master Liu's smiling face immediately fell, and he cursed inwardly.
Damn it, why did this old geezer have to get involved?
Elder Master Hui and the other immortals felt a surge of pleasure.
With the Grand Elder Master Hui intervening, no matter how influential Elder Master Liu of the Liu family was, he wouldn't dare to act presumptuously before the old man.
Seeing the expressions of the immortals, Yu Daohan guessed that the owner of the voice was likely the patriarch of the Hui family, the Grand Elder Master Hui!
If this esteemed gentleman intervened, his plan would have to be altered.
If all else failed, he would directly force the whereabouts of Zhou Fu.
At worst, he would never come to the Northeast again.
Elder Master Liu put on an awkward smile, "Grand Elder Master Hui, why do you have the leisure to concern yourself with such trivial matters?"
The voice came again, sounding displeased.
"Trivial matters?"
"I see you, young man, are about to overturn my Hui family's hall."
Upon hearing this, Elder Master Liu vehemently denied, "Grand Elder Master Hui, you jest. This junior was merely preparing to discuss matters."
*Whoosh!*
A figure flashed past, and then appeared behind Yu Daohan.
Yu Daohan, with quick reflexes, was about to draw the Kang Long Mace from his back.
Before the Kang Long Mace was drawn, a hand had already rested on his shoulder.
So fast!
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Daohan's forehead.
He had only just reacted, and this esteemed gentleman was already behind him.
With such terrifying speed, if this were an enemy.
He would have been instantly killed.
"Little fellow, your reaction is good, and your speed is not slow either. Your strength is not much different from Xu Feng's back in the day."
The deep, slightly amiable voice spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Yu Daohan's expression changed.
Did the Grand Elder Master Hui know that he was the reincarnation of Xu Feng?
How did he know?
Seeing Yu Daohan's nervous demeanor, the Grand Elder Master Hui chuckled, "Little fellow, there's no need to be so tense. Qin Muyu and I are old acquaintances."
Hearing this, Yu Daohan let out a sigh of relief, managed a strained smile, and said, "Grand Elder Master Hui, you flatter me."
Not only Yu Daohan was surprised, but all the immortals present were shocked and bewildered.
Elder Master Liu also gasped in disbelief.
Even he hadn't reacted in time to that speed.
Indeed, he was in a completely different league compared to the Grand Elder Master Hui.
After a few seconds of愣, the several immortals cupped their hands in greeting, respectfully addressing him.
"Grand Elder Master Hui."
"Grand Elder Master Hui."
"Grand Elder Master Hui."
Elder Master Hui immediately offered his seat, and the Grand Elder Master Hui nodded, walked to the head seat, and sat down majestically. He then looked at Elder Master Liu and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu, you're so good at fighting, why don't you have a match with me?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Master Liu's face was filled with smiles, devoid of his previous arrogance. He replied, "Grand Elder Master Hui, you jest. How dare I disturb the Grand Duke?"
"It's good that you're sensible."
The Grand Elder Master Hui nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Alright, you have no business here. Leave quickly!"
"This..." Elder Master Liu looked somewhat troubled.
Wang Gang was also unsure how to respond for a moment.
After all, the Grand Elder Master Hui had spoken, and no matter how capable he was, he wouldn't dare to challenge the Grand Elder Master Hui.
Yu Daohan also saw Wang Gang's predicament and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, leave the rest to me. You don't need to be so troubled."
Hearing this, Wang Gang could only nod helplessly and say apologetically, "Master Yu, I'm truly sorry. If Grand Elder Master Hui hadn't intervened, I could have helped you sort this out, but now..."
Yu Daohan nodded and smiled, "I understand."
Wang Gang then looked at Elder Master Liu again, but saw his expression was serious.
