Being caught off guard was only natural. Huang Xiao and the others could understand that completely.
The old man must have been on guard against those "evil demon" forces. Even if they had tried to use force, the foundations of the Creation Sect, the greatest sect in the world at the time, would not have been so easily breached.
What had destroyed the Creation Sect was precisely those friends who usually called one another brothers.
The senior before them had clearly suffered that very fate.
"I chose my friends poorly, and the Creation Sect was destroyed because of me. Even in death, I would have no face to meet my father." At this point, the old man was deeply sorrowful.
No one spoke.
Only after a good while did the old man gradually calm down.
"I never want to dwell on this. Whenever I do, I simply cannot suppress the anger and regret in my heart." The old man sighed. "But what can I do now? I want revenge, but I lack the strength."
Huang Xiao and the others could hardly say anything.
He had far too many enemies-almost all the forces in the Jianghu.
Those people had basically all had a hand in it, hadn't they?
Even if the old man and his people had the strength to take revenge on someone, those people would probably join forces against them.
"Let me give you a word of advice: see your so-called friends for who they truly are. Do not end up like this old man," the old man said at last.
"You are absolutely right, Senior. We must be more watchful. Then who is this senior you call 'Daoist Master'? You made a point of mentioning him," Huang Xiao said, changing the subject.
"That would be Senior Longevity Daoist,"
