413: The Arrogant Eastern Heretic

"Could it be that the person breaking through is someone I know?" Evil Old Man Huang frowned and looked toward the distant city.

"Could it be that old fellow Seventh Master?"

Evil Old Man Huang thought carefully; among the friends he knew, the only one at the Peak Grandmaster Realm seemed to be Beggar Clan Leader.

As for Western Venom, he wasn't here at all right now.

Therefore, he immediately ruled out the possibility of Ouyang Feng breaking through here; moreover, this Qi felt very familiar to him.

"Since I can't find her anyway, I might as well go see exactly who has broken through."

After careful deliberation, Evil Old Man Huang decided to take a look. After all, this city was not far from the town.

With his strength at the Peak Grandmaster Realm, he arrived in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. However, just as he arrived, that Qi vanished.

Nevertheless, he could feel the Martial Artists in the city gathering in one direction. Evil Old Man Huang followed these auras toward the place where the Breakthrough phenomenon had disappeared.

However, just as he arrived, he once again felt a terrifying Qi soar into the sky. This Qi was also caused by a Great Grandmaster Breakthrough.

This time, Evil Old Man Huang's expression changed completely.

Because he felt that this Qi was still familiar; it was someone he knew who was breaking through.

"What on earth is going on? Did I sense it wrong before?"

"But this Qi cannot be mistaken."

Just as Evil Old Man Huang was about to approach, he heard people nearby discussing what had happened earlier.

Upon hearing the name Beggar Clan Leader, Evil Old Man Huang suddenly understood.

Sure enough, Beggar Clan Leader was here, but who was the other one?

Since he knew it was Beggar Clan Leader breaking through here, he had no need to worry.

As for the expert acting as a Protector behind the scenes, he was also very curious about who it was.

When they saw that Evil Old Man Huang was fine as he approached, the surrounding Martial Artists also showed looks of surprise.

"Look, someone went over. How can he be fine?"

"Since he's fine, we can go and try too."

Seeing Evil Old Man Huang actually enter the restaurant, those Martial Artists who had been lingering around began to grow restless.

In just this short while, two people had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. There must be some incredible Opportunity involved, and they naturally didn't want to miss out.

As soon as Evil Old Man Huang reached the restaurant, he saw three familiar figures walking down from upstairs. One of them was none other than his precious daughter, whom he had been searching for like crazy.

"Ronger..." Evil Old Man Huang gritted his teeth, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Just as she came downstairs, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. Huang Rong trembled all over and looked up to see the familiar figure standing at the restaurant entrance.

"Father..."

Huang Rong quickly walked to Evil Old Man Huang's side and reached out to take his hand.

"Father, why are you here? How did you know I was here?" Huang Rong looked at her father curiously.

However, at this moment, Evil Old Man Huang's face was terrifyingly grim. He only gave his daughter a sidelong glance before looking toward Duan Zhengchun.

Beggar Clan Leader hadn't expected to see Evil Old Man Huang here either, but thinking that Huang Rong was here, it wasn't strange for Evil Old Man Huang to appear.

"Eh, Evil Old Man Huang, you really are a slave to your daughter. Wherever your daughter is, you're bound to be nearby." Beggar Clan Leader looked at Evil Old Man Huang with a face full of happy smiles.

"Hmph..."

Evil Old Man Huang only gave a cold snort, his eyes continuing to stare intently at Duan Zhengchun.

"Boy, what did you do to her?" Evil Old Man Huang's face was grim as he looked at Duan Zhengchun, struggling to suppress the fury in his heart.

Before Duan Zhengchun could speak, Huang Rong stepped directly between the two of them.

"Father, what are you doing? Calm down, there are so many people here." Huang Rong anxiously pulled at her father's hand.

She knew very well that if they started a fight here, the one who would end up losing face would definitely be her father.

Beggar Clan Leader also saw that things were a bit off and quickly stepped forward, blocking Evil Old Man Huang's path.

Even if you haven't seen Duan Zhengchun's strength with your own eyes, you've heard of it, right? You're just a Peak Grandmaster; where do you get the nerve to challenge him?

It's only because you have a precious daughter; otherwise, with your attitude just now, you might have already been forced to your knees.

"Evil Old Man Huang, calm down. This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else." Beggar Clan Leader looked at Evil Old Man Huang with a smile.

As Beggar Clan Leader's voice fell, a burst of footsteps sounded from behind.

He also knew this wasn't the place to talk, so he could only glare fiercely at Duan Zhengchun before turning around and pulling Huang Rong away.

Huang Rong looked back at Duan Zhengchun anxiously, wanting to say something, but she was pulled away by Evil Old Man Huang.

Duan Zhengchun gave Huang Rong a reassuring look before following Evil Old Man Huang out.

Beggar Clan Leader fell a step behind to walk alongside Duan Zhengchun.

"Prince, Evil Old Man Huang has an eccentric temper and is a slave to his daughter. Clearly, he has already seen what's going on between you and Girl Rong."

"If he speaks harshly in a moment, you should restrain yourself a bit so as not to make things difficult for Girl Rong."

"However, seeing Girl Rong's attitude toward you, even if you don't speak, Girl Rong will stand on your side. Evil Old Man Huang has truly met his match in you this time." Beggar Clan Leader finished with a mischievous grin.

Judging by Beggar Clan Leader's expression, he had likely suffered many setbacks at the hands of Evil Old Man Huang in the past.

Given Evil Old Man Huang's personality, that was quite normal.

"It seems, Seventh Master, that you've suffered quite a few setbacks before Island Master Huang in the past." Duan Zhengchun looked at Beggar Clan Leader with a smile.

"Isn't that normal? That fellow Evil Old Man Huang has an eccentric personality, and his way of doing things is tinged with a streak of evil."

"He's a being that is both righteous and evil, doing things entirely according to his own whims. However, he doesn't kill the innocent; otherwise, this Old Beggar wouldn't have become friends with him."

"But this fellow has a strange temper and is incredibly stubborn. There are only two people in this world who can control him: one was the late Madam Huang, and the second is his precious daughter, Huang Rong."

"As for anyone else, whether you have strength or influence, he doesn't give a damn."

"If it weren't for our friendship, he wouldn't even look at me properly." Beggar Clan Leader curled his lip.

Duan Zhengchun nodded; this was indeed true.

That was how Evil Old Man Huang got his name, but he certainly had talent.

Many of his martial arts were self-created. Precisely because he had been obsessed with creating his own martial arts all these years, he had delayed his own Cultivation. Otherwise, with his talent, it would be impossible for him to still be only at the Peak Grandmaster Realm at this stage.

There truly aren't many Masters in the Great Song Martial Forest, which is mainly due to the imperial court's policy of promoting civil arts while suppressing the military.

"So what if he doesn't look people in the eye? This is a world that values martial prowess. Especially for someone in the Martial Forest, no matter how eccentric your temper is, without strength, everything is empty talk."

"If he didn't have some strength, would he dare to show such attitude? He would have died countless times already. How could he still be one of the Five Greats?"

"It's also because Great Song lacks truly powerful individuals; otherwise, there wouldn't even be a place for him among the Five Greats."

"And now, among the Five Greats, he's considered at the bottom!" Duan Zhengchun shook his head.

Beggar Clan Leader was stunned for a moment; it did seem to be the case.

Evil Old Man Huang could disregard worldly opinions and act both righteously and evilly, doing everything according to his own whims.
