Chapter 527 Paying Homage to the Elder

Wu Ming strode towards Tang Shaolong, a hint of doubt and worry on his face.

He walked up to Tang Shaolong and asked softly, "Senior Brother Tang, may I ask what brings the Elder to see us this time?"

Tang Shaolong smiled slightly at Wu Ming's slightly anxious expression and comforted him, "Junior Brother Wu, there's no need to worry too much. The elder only wants to know about the situation of that Blood Fiend Sect elder; there's nothing else important."

Hearing Tang Shaolong's explanation, Wu Ming finally felt relieved.

He had been worried that the elders would summon them for other reasons, but now that he knew it was only about the Blood Fiend Sect elders, he felt a little relieved.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on his face gradually faded.

Seeing that Wu Ming was no longer worried, Tang Shaolong led Wu Ming through layers of corridors and finally arrived in front of a magnificent palace.

The palace is entirely made of white marble, and its roof is covered with golden glazed tiles, which gleam in the sunlight.

Tang Shaolong gently pushed open the palace gate and led Wu Ming into the hall.

Upon entering the palace, Wu Ming was immediately enveloped by a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

In the very center of the palace stood an old man, his back to Tang Shaolong and Wu Ming, as if deep in thought.

Tang Shaolong quickly walked behind the old man, bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Fang. Inner disciple Wu Ming has been brought here."

Upon hearing Tang Shaolong's voice, the old man slowly turned around.

Wu Ming looked closely and finally saw Elder Fang's face clearly.

Elder Fang had a rather ordinary appearance, with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a small tuft of beard under his high nose.

Such an appearance is inconspicuous in a crowd, and could even be described as somewhat ordinary.

However, when Wu Ming's gaze met Elder Fang's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

What eyes they were!

It is deep and secluded, like a bottomless pool, which makes people feel as if they will be sucked into it and never be able to escape.

Those eyes exude a sense of mystery, compelling one to explore them.

Tang Shaolong was clearly aware of Elder Fang's special qualities, so after bowing, he kept his head down, not daring to meet Elder Fang's gaze.

However, he forgot that Wu Ming was unaware of this. At that moment, Wu Ming was curiously observing Elder Fang, completely unaware that his actions might put him in danger.

Therefore, the moment Wu Ming and Elder Fang locked eyes, he seemed to be drawn in by an invisible force.

Elder Fang's deep eyes, like an endless abyss, were full of mystery and allure, making Wu Ming involuntarily captivated by them.

When he came to his senses and tried to break free from this restraint, he found himself already deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself.

His mind was completely captivated by those deep, abyss-like eyes, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't look away.

Tang Shaolong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he saw that Wu Ming hadn't paid his respects to Elder Fang.

He knew that Wu Ming was not the kind of person who was ignorant of manners and didn't know how to behave properly, so there must be a reason for his unusual behavior today.

Tang Shaolong looked closely and realized that Wu Ming's gaze was fixed on Elder Fang's eyes, as if he had lost himself.

He inwardly cried out in alarm, realizing things might be going badly. He quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply to Elder Fang, and earnestly said:

"I beg Elder Fang to show mercy and spare Junior Brother Wu."

The elder surnamed Fang, standing at the head of the table, looked at Tang Shaolong with a smile and said softly, "Little Tang, you can't blame me for this."

I didn't lift a finger; it was entirely this kid's own arrogance that led him to fall into my trap.

So, this is actually your mistake. Instead of asking me to let this brat go, you should be asking how you plan to let him go!

Upon hearing the old man's words, Tang Shaolong was filled with self-reproach and regret.

He knew that if he hadn't forgotten to remind Wu Ming, Wu Ming wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

Having come this far, he had no other choice but to bow down to Elder Fang.

Tang Shaolong took a deep breath, then slowly lowered his head and said reluctantly, "Elder Fang, I agree to the matter you mentioned before. I hope you can be lenient and let Junior Brother Wu off the hook now."

Upon hearing Tang Shaolong's words, Elder Fang revealed a subtle smile, but also a hint of doubt.

"You little brat, you won't agree now, but when others ask, you'll turn around and accuse me of forcing you, right?"

His eyes were fixed on Tang Shaolong, as if he could see right through Tang Shaolong's heart.

"Elder Fang, rest assured, this disciple is absolutely doing this voluntarily."

Tang Shaolong had a sliver of hope, but after hearing the old man's words, that hope vanished instantly.

Tang Shaolong secretly groaned. He had thought he could outsmart Elder Fang, but he never expected that the other party would see right through him.

He also knew that Elder Fang in front of him was a formidable character, especially his sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything. He was sure that his little schemes would not escape Elder Fang's discerning eyes.

Since things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Since you've put it that way, then this disciple naturally wouldn't dare to say anything. It would be an honor for this disciple to serve Elder Fang."

He was practically grinding his teeth to powder as he said this, but he still had to force a smile so that Elder Fang wouldn't notice his displeasure.

Upon seeing this, Elder Fang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He stroked his goatee and said loudly, "Haha, since you've said so, I'll believe you."

After he finished speaking, his gaze sharpened as he stared directly at Tang Shaolong, as if trying to see right through him.

Tang Shaolong trembled at Elder Fang's gaze and quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Just then, Elder Fang turned his gaze to Wu Ming, who stood to the side like a puppet.

At this moment, Wu Ming's mind had already fallen into that endless abyss. He struggled desperately, but found that his body was completely out of his control.

His mind went blank, and he felt trapped in despair, unable to escape no matter how hard he tried.

Just when Wu Ming felt despair, that powerful force suddenly disappeared.

He suddenly came to his senses and found himself still standing there, perfectly fine.

Wu Ming felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, but a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

He calmed himself down and realized that what he had just experienced was like a nightmare, and now that he was awake, everything had returned to normal.

"Was that just a hallucination?"

Tang Wuming muttered to himself.
