to cultivation technique levels in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The lowest level on the first floor was the Red-grade cultivation techniques, totaling over three...Chapter 355: The Old Man

A thick black Bentley Continental, weighing heavily, entered Donghai University's campus.

This massive vehicle attracted many students to stop and stare.

The short but sturdy Vice Elder Bi emerged from the driver’s seat, asking a nearby student a few questions before handing him one hundred brand new bills.

Upon receiving them, the student stared in puzzlement for a moment before turning around.

Racing down the corridor, he arrived at the classroom door and knocked urgently.

The teacher currently teaching class walked over to open it.

"Huo Ren, someone is looking for you!" the student shouted loudly before quickly running away.

Students sitting near the windows in the classroom immediately leaned out to look around.

They saw a black Bentley Continental parked steadily by the roadside below, exuding an atmosphere of solemnity under the sun.

Vice Elder Sun lifted his head slightly and confidently waved his hand.

"A Bentley worth ten million!" Yu Rong, who often read car magazines, exclaimed in delight.

“Rumble…”

The classroom suddenly erupted into a commotion; everyone ignored the teacher lecturing at the podium and rushed towards the window.

Huo Ren, not far from the windows, also stood up to look outside.

Vice Elder Sun in his red Tang suit was particularly eye-catching; he gestured decisively towards Huo Ren with his palm.

"Oh no," thought Huo Ren inwardly upon seeing this.

Turning around, he observed that every classroom window facing this direction was crowded with students.

In the midst of the gathered crowd, Vice Elder Bi stood as still and firm as a lighthouse amidst the waves.

"Huo Ren!" He quickly turned and rushed out of the classroom.

“Whoosh…” The classmates in Huo Ren's class also followed him out to the ground floor to see what was happening, regardless of whether it was during class time or not.

Huo Ren, as light on his feet as a swallow, leaped down three steps at a time; in an instant, he appeared at the door.

Vice Elder Sun stood straight and bowed deeply. "Sir Huo, Old Master has returned to the country; please get into the car."

The surrounding students were shocked, confused, curious, or scratching their heads in bewilderment.

Huo Ren had once been a prominent figure at Donghai University, but as time passed and things faded from memory, all interest in him seemed to have subsided. Today's events, however, reignited everyone’s curiosity about Huo Ren.

"Think" Huai Ren nodded mysteriously and got into the Bentley.

However, such a simple act of his became extremely ostentatious in Nie Rong’s eyes!

What was this Huai Ren’s identity The last time it was Feng Chi who came to pick him up, saying that he would tutor the daughter of the Luogong family. That could be understood. But now—directly sending a Bentley worth millions!

Huai Ren’s name would instantly become famous in school! Girls wanting to get close to Huai Ren might have to pay top dollar!

Yu Rong and Zhou Liren's heads were spinning!

This Huai Ren, who had been living with them in the dormitory all along—what was his background!

Sitting next to Huai Ren, Elder Sun got into the driver’s seat and started up the Bentley.

<

Already at the school gate, a thick circle of students made way for the car.

Elder Sun, dressed in purple robes and driving himself personally, clearly indicated how important this meeting was!

In Huai Ren's heart, he actually felt somewhat uneasy too!

On the sixth-floor window at the Fine Arts Academy, Tai Shaoyang stood with a small golden fan spinning rapidly in his hand.

Watching the black Bentley drive out of school, Tai Shaoyang suddenly squeezed the golden fan in his hand. It turned into a streak of gold light and vanished.

Standing on the rooftop across from him, Lu L琳琳和陸莉莉看到郝仁乘坐那輛賓利離開學校，互相看了看，也立刻化作兩道青光，不知消失向何處。

黑色的賓利優雅地在公路上平穩行駛。

孫長老雙手握著方向盤，目光如電，卻始終冇說過一句話。

郝仁也不開口，任憑車子緩緩靠近市中心明日集團的大廈。

陽光裡，裝著一麵麵光潔窗戶的明日大廈光芒四射，就像城市中的巨人。

"Young Master Huai, we've arrived," Elder Sun suddenly said from the front.

Huai Ren looked up at the street outside. He was so absorbed that he hadn’t even realized the car had stopped smoothly.

Stepping out of the Bentley, Huai Ren raised his head to look at the sun and suddenly found it glaringly bright.

Summer was approaching.

Huai Ren sighed in his heart as he followed Elder Sun into the grand hall of Tomorrow Group.

The process from one floor to another remained solemnly silent.

Elder Sun led Huai Ren quietly towards a meeting room. This top-floor area, Huai Ren had been here before; it was where Zhao Guang first interviewed him.

The meeting room was filled with the numerous elders of the Dragon Palace in East Sea.

It's not Zhao Guang sitting at the head anymore, but an old man with white hair.

Sun Elder brought郝仁into the meeting room, didn't say much, found his seat and quietly sat down.

郝仁 watched this old man carefully. Since Zhao Guang hadn’t introduced him yet, he stood there.

All the gazes in the meeting room were focused on 郝仁.

All the purple-robed elders from the Donghai Dragon Palace had arrived. Several of them believed that whether or not 郝仁 was here didn't matter much to the Donghai Dragon Palace, but if he took responsibility for the "Six Loyalties" incident, the Donghai Dragon Palace could turn danger into safety.

"Thirty-third grade," Zhao Haoran looked at 郝仁for two seconds and said.

"Correct." 郝仁 stood opposite him and answered.

“Tearing down half of the Xihai Dragon Palace was your doing, right” Zhao Haoran asked.

“That’s correct,” 郝仁 replied again.

From this old man's aura and Zhao Guang's expression, 郝仁 had already guessed that he must be the legendary Old Dragon King, Zhao Haoran.

Zhao Haoran stared at 郝仁 for a few more seconds, sizing him up from head to toe.

Inside 郝仁’s body, "Divide Light and Shadow" was running as hard as it could. From the aura this old man was emitting, he definitely wouldn’t be weaker than Su Han!

Nearly on par with Zhao Kuan!

"Very good," said Zhao Haoran.

The moment these words left Zhao Haoran's mouth, every elder present wore an expression of astonishment.

Especially those purple-robed elders who opposed 郝仁 continuing to stay in the Donghai Dragon Palace as a retainer—each one looked at others with bewilderment.

Han Ren had destroyed half of the Xihai Dragon Palace, breaking the balance between the four dragon palaces and making the Xihai Dragon Palace stand on the highest point. They raised the banner of "Anti-Donghai Alliance," how could they still say “Very good”

"The Xihai Dragon Palace has suffered greatly this time. Their pulling others into their camp can only prove their panic. Since one foot is already in, why not put another foot in" Zhao Haoran said each word with a pause.

This time, the elders present were truly confused.

"Whether or not 郝仁 can be Little Ahfan’s retainer, I will consider it myself. But you…" Zhao Haoran stood up and circled around to face the elders in the meeting room. "What are you afraid of"

His last four words were like a spell, entering the ears of the elders continuously for four times.

These four words instantly woke all the elders up.

Yes, the Xihai Dragon Palace had already lost dozens of Heaven and Earth Realm experts. The dragon palace was also destroyed by half. At this moment, it was their weakest period. Their pulling in the Donghai Dragon Palace and Beihai Dragon Palace was just boosting their own morale. If the Donghai Dragon Palace were to fight with the Xihai Dragon Palace, could the Nanhai Dragon Palace and Beihai Dragon Palace really charge forward

Dragon cultivators had some grumblings about what the Donghai Dragon Palace did, but it didn't mean they dared to ignite a war within the dragon clan!

In the end, whether right or wrong between the Donghai Dragon Palace and Xihai Dragon Palace was hard to say!

Vice Elder Lu, Vice Elder Li!

Here!

"Go to the Southern Dragon Palace and the Northern Dragon Palace and issue a declaration of war. Tell them that if they do not lift their restrictions on Tomorrow Group, we will declare war!"

Zhao Haoran's voice was as thunderous as ever.

"Yes sir!" Vice Elder Lu and Vice Elder Sun immediately stood up to respond.

The other elders were even more silent. Zhao Guang sent a challenge scroll to the Southern Dragon Palace and Northern Dragon Palace, but there was no response from them or their gifts returned. However, this Tiger King sent out a declaration of war!

They were all worried sick inside, yet nobody dared to speak.

"What about the Western Dragon Palace" Hao Ren couldn’t help but ask.

The elders sitting behind Vice Elder Lu and Vice Elder Sun looked at Hao Ren and then at Zhao Haoran.

Hao Ren’s question was precisely what they wanted to know as well.

"No need to bother with it!" Zhao Haoran walked straight out of the conference room, turned his head slightly towards Hao Ren and said, "Follow me."

Seeing that Zhao Guang was still sitting in the meeting room, Zhao Haoran pointed at him as well and said, "You come too!"

As Zhao Haoran led Hao Ren and Zhao Guang out of the conference room, these elders immediately began discussing heatedly.

Only Star Moon Elder smiled faintly and followed Vice Elder Lu and Vice Elder Sun out of the meeting room.

Zhao Haoran’s return meant that the era of peace was over! These chattering purple-robed elders still had some say in front of Zhao Guang, but in front of Zhao Haoran, they had no place to speak!

Back then during the war between cultivators, there were dozens of Core Formation Realm cultivators who fell under Zhao Haoran’s hands!

That year-long battle established the dominance of dragon race cultivators on land, causing hundreds of minor sects and scores of major sects to move into the Fifth Level Heaven.

Zhao Haoran knew that he couldn’t survive through the heavenly tribulation back then, so he abandoned his rule over the East Sea and went into seclusion outside the world.

This God of War’s return would even make the distant Dragon Palace shudder! How much more so for these elders in the East Dragon Palace!

Zhao Haoran entered the chairman's office next door, sat down on a chair behind his desk and glanced at the seat opposite with his eyes, "Sit."

Hao Ren took a deep breath and sat across from Zhao Haoran.

He felt an overwhelming aura exuding from this old man. It wasn’t just due to the difference in realms but rather a kind of domineering aura that Su Han didn’t even possess—fierceness!

A coldness between life and death, a domineering aura born out of killing, and an intimidating battlefield spirit!

He hadn’t appeared for nearly a hundred years, making the Western Dragon Palace believe that this legendary figure had already lived to his limit and was no longer in the mortal world. They all thought that this East Sea Dragon Palace was just a decoy.

Alas, Zhao Haoran returned! Level 1 and 2 Reviewers. For this matter to warrant the Deputy Pavilion Master’s direct involvement showed that it was beyond the capabilities of a Reviewer.Clang clang clang...Hao Ren's phone sudden...
