"So, you’re planning to visit Hongshan Temple?"

Su Mei nodded and said, "You’re right, I can’t go on like this, I must pull myself together as soon as possible, and not let down Elder Du’s spirit in heaven. I already made arrangements with Song Ge on the way back, we’ll set off early tomorrow. Anyway, staying here doesn’t help much. If we can enlist Master Hui Yun and Elder Dan Xuzi, they might be able to help us fend off the foreign enemies."

"Alright, since you’ve decided, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you!"

After seeing off Su Mei and the others, Tong Zhentian came up behind Ling Chen, patted his shoulder, and laughed, "See, I told you to seize the opportunity, but now it’s too late to regret."

"Elder Tong, please don’t tease me. Alright, you’re busy, I won’t disturb you anymore." After saying this, Ling Chen hurriedly slipped out of the office.

...

Night fell.

Outside an office building in the city center of East Sea City, an inconspicuous modern sedan slowly drove up and parked in the outdoor parking lot. The car door opened, and a person got out from the passenger seat, scanning the surroundings sharply. After confirming there was no danger, he walked to the back seat and gently knocked on the window.

Soon, two people descended from the back seat, and one after the other, entered the office building. This building has twenty-eight floors, with a banner hanging outside that reads ’For Rent’.

Upon arriving outside the building, two young men in suits came to open the door, ushering the three outsiders in.

"Where’s everyone?"

"Upstairs, Master Guo can go straight up, someone will receive you."

The person asking was none other than the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Guo Halong. Before long, the group of three took the elevator to the top floor of the building.

As soon as they exited the elevator, staff who had already received notification lined up in two rows to greet Guo Halong’s arrival. At the same time, a middle-aged man approached quickly, surrounded by several young men, and with a smiling face, cupped his fists, saying, "Master Guo, I’ve long admired your name, but never got a chance to meet you. Today, I finally get my wish."

Guo Halong scrutinized the other person and asked, "Who might you be?"

"Master Guo may not know me yet, let me introduce myself, my name is Huang Jie, the Vice Sect Leader of the Dangyang Sect."

"Vice Sect Leader?" Guo Halong squinted slightly and asked with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, "Where is your Sect Leader, does he not plan to participate in this action, letting you represent fully?"

Huang Jie smiled appeasingly and said, "Master Guo, please don’t be angry, our Sect Leader had something come up at the last minute and can’t make it in time. But rest assured, our Sect Leader will definitely show up before the action starts."

"That is best, if he doesn’t come, then our cooperation can’t go on."

"Master Guo, let’s sit down and have a cup of tea, the people from the Dark Pavilion should be arriving soon." Saying this, Huang Jie led Guo Halong and his two companions to a spacious office.

The office building hadn’t been rented out yet, so the rooms inside were empty. This office seemed to have been set up temporarily, with two leather sofas and a large round table in the middle, with no other decorations.

After Guo Halong sat down, the other two remained standing behind him, eyes focused straight ahead.

"Master Guo, please have some tea." Huang Jie handed a cup of hot tea to Guo Halong with both hands, saying, "If you have any other needs, feel free to ask, I’ll try my best to accommodate as long as I can."

"No need." Guo Halong said indifferently, "You can sit, too."

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Huang Jie took out his phone, glanced at the time, and frowned slightly, "We agreed to meet at seven-thirty, but it’s almost eight, and the people from the Dark Pavilion haven’t shown up yet."

"They’ll come whenever they want because they have the confidence to act with impunity."

Hearing Guo Halong’s words, Huang Jie laughed awkwardly and said, "Master Guo, that’s not how it should be, since it’s a collaboration, we should be punctual. We give them face, they should at least consider us."

"Master Huang, how much is your face worth?"

At this time, a discordant voice came over. Everyone turned to see Tian Xiong walking in from the door. Seeing Tian Xiong with a wry smile, Huang Jie’s heart sank, and he quickly got up from the sofa, met him hurriedly, and said with a smile, "Mr. Tian, it was just a joke, please don’t take it seriously. There’s still time, so a little delay doesn’t matter."

"Master Guo, we meet again." Tian Xiong couldn’t be bothered with Huang Jie and directly approached Guo Halong to greet him. Seeing the two subordinates behind Guo Halong, he asked with a smile, "Where’s Master Tan?"

"Tan Gang has other tasks; Mr. Tian will naturally see him during the action later."

Tian Xiong nodded and said, "Alright, since everyone is here, let’s talk about the main business."

As everyone sat down, Tian Xiong took out a map from his body, spread it out on the round table, and said, "This is the structural diagram of the Dragon Tiger Hall headquarters. According to intelligence gathered by the Dark Pavilion, Dragon Tiger Hall has gathered all the elite disciples from the branch halls. Currently, there are over a hundred defensive forces in Dragon Tiger Hall."

"Only over a hundred?" Huang Jie scoffed, "Dragon Tiger Hall, the number one force in the Martial Arts world, only has this few people."

Tian Xiong glanced at Huang Jie coldly and said, "Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I just said? Currently, the ones gathered at Dragon Tiger Hall are all elite disciples, do you understand what that means? The key is quality, not quantity. Do you think it’s like your Dangyang Sect, with hundreds of subordinates, but they’re all useless?"

"Mr. Tian, I don’t like what you said, what do you mean by all our Dangyang Sect people are useless?"

The sound came over, and Tian Xiong and the others immediately focused their attention on the office door. Seeing the newcomer, Huang Jie’s face lit up and he quickly went up, cupped his fists, and said, "Sect Leader, you finally arrived!"

Guo Halong said indifferently, "Master Qi, I was beginning to think you wouldn’t show up."

Qi Yong smiled faintly and said, "With such a big event tonight, how could I miss it? Well! Enough with the idle talk, Mr. Tian, continue with your plan."

"Dragon Tiger Hall has two doors in total. They will definitely strengthen the defenses of the front and back doors. If we force our way in, it will incur some losses, so we bypass the two doors and enter Dragon Tiger Hall directly from the east and west walls. The east wall is very close to their dormitory, we’ll seize the dormitory first, deal with the people inside, and weaken part of the Dragon Tiger Hall’s power, then the west wall, this is crucial, hope you all understand."
