Numerous gazes on the vast empty square were currently looking at the linen-robed elder, who was standing in the sky, with various expressions in their eyes.
Those usually high and mighty Ban Di experts in the viewing gallery had all stood up at this moment. They had instantly forgotten their pride as Ban Di experts. Their eyes revealed a respectful expression as they looked at the old man.
No matter how they looked at him, they would never have imagined that this expert, who had never appeared, would actually come to this place today. However, everyone immediately understood in their hearts when they thought about it. He had actually come for Xiao Yan.
Elder Xuan in front of the VIP seats frowned slightly as he looked at the elderly figure in the sky. His heart was filled with doubt. Even if the current Xiao Yan was a rank two alchemist, was he really worthy of this person personally coming?
While everyone was pondering in their hearts, Gu Li, who was closest to the old man, swiftly rushed into the sky. Immediately, he stood a short distance below the old man. This also indicated Gu Li's respectful attitude toward the old man.
Gu Li's body paused. He did not hesitate as he bent his waist and respectfully bowed to the old man. At the same time, his mouth spoke with a respectful smile.
"Junior Gu Li greets Old Luo!"
Only at this moment did the stunned Half Martial Emperors below instantly recover from their shock. They didn't dare hesitate in the slightest as they flew forward and bowed to Elder Luo.
Old Luo merely glanced at them indifferently. His eyes paused on Gu Li for a moment before he carelessly acknowledged them.
The countless number of spectators below felt a rich shock lingering in their hearts after seeing this scene. It was impossible to shake it off.
There were no less than thirty Ban Di experts who had rushed into the sky. However, at this moment, all of them were extremely respectful to the old man. In other words, just how frightening was this old man, who appeared to have an ordinary appearance!
Over thirty Ban Di experts. It was likely that even an ordinary Dou Di would have no choice but to withdraw upon seeing them. However, at this moment, this old man was able to cause this group of Ban Di to be so respectful to him. Just how great was his strength? It was likely that Dou Di was no longer sufficient to describe his strength …
Of course, after everyone heard how the Half-martial Emperors addressed the old man, they instantly came to a realization. No wonder this old man's strength was so terrifying. It turned out that he was the Luo Elder that everyone usually talked about.
The next moment, the spacious open ground once again emitted a noise that soared to the sky. From the looks of it, Old Luo had actually come to watch Xiao Yan's competition!
"Tsk tsk, even Old Luo has personally come. Elder Yan Xiao's reputation is really great. I heard that Lu Chen from the east side had sought Old Luo to help in refining a weapon a couple of years ago. In the end, he did not even get to see Old Luo.... that time, Luo Luo had really embarrassed him.......
"Oh? Even Lu Chen was unable to invite Old Luo? That is a rank three formation master! "
"Hei, what is the use of a rank three formation master? That Lu Chen is not much of a person. Moreover, he is just like that old coward Mo Di. How can he be compared with elder Yan Xiao? So what if he is a rank three formation master? The current elder Yan Xiao is already a rank two alchemist at such a young age. His future achievements are not something that that old bastard Lu Chen can compare with. Old Luo's eyesight is really far!"
Everyone immediately understood in their hearts after hearing this person's explanation. They nodded one after another. In their hearts, they became increasingly envious of Xiao Yan.
Of course, although they were envious, there were quite a number of people whose eyes had suddenly become determined. Xiao Yan's frightening training talent had stirred the training desire in their hearts at this moment. After returning this time around, quite a number of people present would likely enter a crazy training state.
… …
The waves of noise that were transmitted from the open ground below caused Gu Li to involuntarily frown slightly. It was fine if these fellows were usually careless. However, they were actually so agitated in front of this person today. Were they sincerely trying to stir up the other party's dissatisfaction? After all, Old Luo's temper was extremely unstable!
Immediately, Gu Li cursed in his heart before smiling awkwardly. His eyes carefully looked at Old Luo. His face was respectful as he bowed slightly. He cupped his hands together towards Old Luo and said with a smile.
"Haha, Old Luo, the younger generation did not know that elder was here. Therefore, we did not arrange a seat for you. I hope that Old Luo will not blame us. The younger generation will …"
"There is no need."
Before Gu Li could completely spit out the words that were at the tip of his tongue, Old Luo's tone was calm as he directly interrupted him.
Naturally, Gu Li could only smile awkwardly in response to this. He did not say anything else. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Old Luo and quietly waited. In front of this person, he was unable to raise even the slightest bit of temper.
When the Half-martial Emperors below saw this, they exchanged glances with each other as they muttered in their hearts. They appeared to be much more respectful and cautious. Clearly, they were quite clear about Old Luo's temper.
Old Luo's gaze slowly swept across the ant-like crowd below. Soon after, it swept past those Half-martial Emperors one by one. His sharp eyes caused everyone present to involuntarily feel a chill in their hearts.
"The reason why this old man has come today is not because of any big matter. I only wish to inform everyone that this year's Alchemist Grand Meeting will be postponed for a month. A month later, the Alchemist Grand Meeting will continue as usual."
His voice was not loud and did not appear to be very imposing and overbearing. However, the meaning within his words caused everyone present to involuntarily be stunned. Their gazes were filled with disbelief as they looked at Old Luo.
Even the dozens of Half-martial Emperors below had a change in expression at this moment. The reason why Old Luo had come today was actually … to postpone the Alchemist Grand Meeting!
Gu Li also frowned tightly at this moment. Being the chairman of the Alchemist Association and also the host of this year's Alchemist Grand Meeting, Old Luo's words had directly skipped over him. Moreover, Old Luo had even ignored the rules of the Alchemist Association and forcefully postponed the date of the Grand Meeting. This caused Gu Li, the chairman, to feel somewhat embarrassed.
When the Half-martial Emperors below heard these words, they involuntarily frowned. As they looked at each other, the corner of their eyes also swept towards Gu Li.
Mo Di's old eyes narrowed slightly. A sharp cold glint faintly flickered deep within his pupils. When he saw Gu Li's somewhat ugly expression, Mo Di immediately understood in his heart that Gu Li had likely not expected Old Luo's words.
Thoughts flew in his heart. Suddenly, Mo Di's eyes suddenly brightened. His gaze swiftly shifted and looked at the black mass of human heads below.
A moment later, a glint flashed across Mo Di's eyes as he swiftly understood in his heart.
"Humph! That fellow is indeed not here! "
Mo Di coldly snorted in his heart. His eyes coldly stared at Gu Li. Soon after, his body moved and flew forward. His body stood beside Gu Li.
The corner of Mo Di's eyes met with Gu Li's for an instant. Given Gu Li's familiarity with Mo Di, he immediately saw the cold smile in Mo Di's eyes. Although there was a faint uneasiness in Mo Di's heart, it was already too late. Before Gu Li could do anything, Mo Di slowly spat out the words from his mouth.
"Junior Mo Di greets Old Luo! I have long heard of Old Luo's great reputation. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to meet Old Luo. Now that I have met Old Luo today, I can see that Old Luo's strength is indeed exceedingly great. This junior has also been able to broaden my horizons! "
"Tch …"
Old Luo had an impatient appearance in the face of Mo Di's flattery. He faintly replied. However, he was too lazy to even blink his slightly shut eyes.
This scene immediately caused a mocking cold smile to be revealed on the faces of the many half-step Emperors below. Did Mo Di really think that Old Luo was an ordinary expert who could be dismissed with a few words?
Although his warm face was met with a cold shoulder, Mo Di also knew in his heart that the old fellow in front of him was not someone he could easily offend.
Forget about this Savage Ancient City, it was likely that even in the entire Western Region and Southern Region, the number of experts who could match Old Luo's strength could be counted with one's fingers.
Hence, although there was resentment in his heart, Mo Di still viciously scolded Old Luo. His face immediately became awkward and he was speechless. He smiled awkwardly upon seeing this.
However, after hesitating for an instant, Mo Di's throat rolled a little. His eyes rotated and once again turned towards Old Luo. He coughed dryly before carefully opening his mouth and smiling awkwardly.
"That … this junior has a question in his heart. May I know if elder can answer it?"
The eyes of the dozens of half-step Emperors below twitched when Mo Di's words left his mouth. However, they immediately laughed coldly. This Mo Di was asking for trouble.
Old Luo's expression did not change as he ignored Mo Di's words. At this moment, he only wanted to see the attitude of the association head, Gu Li. He could not be bothered with the others.
Mo Di's eyes narrowed. He once again cursed in his heart. However, his face still maintained a respectful appearance as he once again opened his mouth and smiled.
"Old Luo, this Alchemist Grand Meeting is a grand event organized by the Pill Tower in the Middle Region. Although your strength is monstrous, this matter concerns my Alchemist Association and the Pill Tower. You …"
"Why? Can't the old me touch an inconspicuous little minion under the Pill Tower? Forget about a small association like yours. Even if those old fellows from the Pill Tower were to come, the old me would not give them any face! "
"You wish to use the Pill Tower to pressure the old me. The Pill Tower will not know even if the old me kills an ant like you!"
Old Luo's body flashed in the air when he heard Mo Di's meaningful words. He did not create the slightest fluctuation of aura, but he had already arrived in front of Mo Di. The clothes of the two were tightly stuck together due to the cold wind …
A frightening aura suddenly pressed down on Mo Di like a ferocious beast. Mo Di's body instantly distorted under this frightening pressure, while the bones in his body continuously emitted waves of cracking sounds. A deep sense of fear filled Mo Di's heart and could not be erased.
