The brothers of the Taia Sect surnamed Gu, holding the positions of First and Second Senior Brother, have always commanded great respect and prestige within the Sect.

Unexpectedly, even they bowed and greeted a young man.

So...

Who exactly is this youth?

Their faces filled with confusion as they all looked at Fang Yu... all speculating about his identity.

The Master Elder of the Alchemy Hall took a step forward and said, "Gu Zhenxiong, have you lost your senses... I've never seen this person before. When did you explain about a Mister Fang?"

Gu Zhenxiong's face faltered, and he replied somewhat awkwardly, "Doctor Zhang, you are unaware... This..."

As he lifted his head.

Fang Yu slightly smiled, interrupting his speech, "Gu brothers, I visited Jiangzhou a while ago. We hit it off right away, shared a deep connection, and agreed to meet at the Taia Sect. Hence, I am a guest who has traveled from afar. But what is this? Not only do you not welcome a guest, but you also send some kids to block my way. What a joke."

Hearing this.

Gu Zhenxiong was startled and quickly said, "Mister Fang, I am truly sorry. I was unaware of your arrival at this time; it's my neglect..." His tone paused before he continued, "Who disrespected Mister Fang, step forward!"

The disciples of the Taia Sect were stunned upon hearing this.

Given Gu Zhenxiong's character, even if he went to Jiangzhou and met a kindred spirit, was there a need for such an attitude?

And to invite him to visit the mountain.

It was all so baffling.

Seeing no one stepping forward, Gu Zhenxiong's brow furrowed, and he said again, "I'll say it once more, step forward!"

This roar, full of anger, made the five young men who just fought sweat profusely.

They all knew the temperament of the First Senior Brother; once he's set on something, no one could change his mind. Moreover, he was extremely strict and loathed evil.

"How could you, First Senior Brother... help an outsider?" The young male disciple who wielded the sword spoke discontentedly.

As soon as the words fell.

Gu Zhenxiong's hand opened wide and reached out toward him—

Buzz!

Powerful Inner Essence drew him in.

For a Circulation Heaven Rank expert, controlling objects from afar was all too normal!

Moreover, that male disciple dared not resist!

"Oh—"

He suddenly knelt before Fang Yu.

"Mister Fang, was it him who offended you just now? I'll make him apologize to you!"

Witnessing this scene.

Elder Zhang from the Alchemy Hall, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, coughed and said,

"Gu Zhenxiong, what are you doing? No matter what, these disciples are new recruits of the Taia Sect from recent years. They are the future of the Taia Sect, how could you act like this? How will the Taia Sect command respect in the future?"

After all, they were the true brothers within the same Sect.

Not helping one's own people, such behavior is unacceptable. It would chill the hearts of the disciples!

Gu Zhenxiong glanced at Elder Zhang and said, "You should concentrate on your alchemy... This matter is not your concern."

"Is that how you speak to me?" Elder Zhang said angrily.

"Heh... In terms of seniority, you're not necessarily higher than me! Why can't I speak?"

"You—"

Seeing their endless argument.

Fang Yu raised his hand, saying indifferently, "Enough."

The scene quieted down.

His voice seemed to carry an invisible pressure, compelling involuntary compliance.

"It has been many years since the Taia Sect recruited new members. As they are newcomers, it is inevitable that they are unfamiliar with certain rules. To err is human; let this matter pass."

The kneeling man quickly nodded, bowed, and thanked him.

Only then did Fang Yu speak:

"Gu Zhenxiong."

"Mister Fang."

"Take me to meet the Sect Master."

"Yes!"

These few brief exchanges left everyone present with expressions of shock.

Everyone became even more puzzled about Fang Yu's identity.

What abilities does he have that merit an audience with the Elder Sect Master?

Not to mention a young stranger, even some senior disciples of the Taia Sect have not seen the Elder Sect Master.

But...

The tone he used to demand Gu Zhenxiong, the current senior brother of the Taia Sect, to take him to see the Elder Sect Master,

Was as if a superior was giving orders to a subordinate.

"What's the matter?"

"Who in the world is he?"

The crowd was baffled.

Watching Fang Yu and Gu Zhenxiong, Gu Yanghong left the Alchemy Hall.

The Master Elder of the Alchemy Hall, Zhang, with hands clasped behind his back, snorted coldly: "The Elder Sect Master is not in good health and should not meet anyone. Go inform Doctor Ping quickly."

"Yes!"

...

The highest place of the Taia Sect.

Outside the Purple Sun Hall.

Gu Zhenxiong and Gu Yanghong stood outside the hall, their expressions extremely excited.

"Mr. Fang, this is the Purple Sun Hall where the Elder Sect Master resides... Ever since he approached the limit of his time, he has rarely left the Purple Sun Hall," Gu Zhenxiong said.

Fang Yu nodded slightly, surveyed his surroundings, and said:

"This Purple Sun Hall is surrounded by many Gathering Spirit Arrays. The Array Patterns are quite intricate and well-placed. It seems... that the Elder Sect Master's health is indeed quite serious?"

"Yes... Without these arrays, I'm afraid..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but its meaning was understood.

"Take me in, please..."

"Okay."

Just as they were about to enter,

A loud shout came from not far behind them.

"Stop right there!"

Gu Zhenxiong and his brother involuntarily halted their steps and looked towards the steps outside the hall.

Doctor Ping Wenfu of the Taia Sect was approaching slowly. Behind him followed many young male and female disciples.

Their presence was imposing, and they bore angry expressions.

Doctor Ping had white hair and a commanding presence, emanating an illustrious air with every step that made him instantly recognizable.

"Doctor Ping."

"Doctor Ping."

Gu Zhenxiong and Gu Yanghong both bowed in salute at the same time.

In the presence of Elder Ping, they were considered juniors.

Time spares no one, yet it seems to have left too many traces upon Doctor Ping's body.

"Who allowed you to come to the Purple Sun Hall? I've said it... Without my permission, no one is allowed to step into the Purple Sun Hall!" Doctor Ping's eyes blazed as he scrutinized the three of them.

Gu Zhenxiong clasped his hands and said: "Doctor Ping... Mr. Fang is different from others, and the Elder Sect Master is very eager to meet him, so..."

"Nonsense, the Elder Sect Master also longs to meet your senior sister, doesn't he? Is that possible?" Ping Wenfu rebuked.

"This..."

Before the sentence was finished, the conversation was already tinged with hostility.

At this moment—

Fang Yu, standing behind Gu Zhenxiong, spoke up:

"Doctor Ping Wenfu?"

Hearing this.

The young female disciple behind Doctor Ping stepped forward and scolded: "Are you lacking manners? Is my master's honorable name for you to casually address?"

"Exactly... How could such a person meet the Elder Sect Master? Elder Brother, Second Brother, have you been bewitched and deceived by him?"

"This kind of person looks like a sneaky, deceitful person, fooling others everywhere. Who knows how he learned about our Taia Sect's whereabouts, trying to stir up trouble!"

Listening to their discussion,

Fang Yu shook his head slightly, fixed his gaze on Ping Wenfu, and said, "You have aged."
