Chapter 2287 - 2288: The Grand Elder (3)
After the old man sat down, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He looked up at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, ” “You’re not bad. Although I don’t know who you are, I can see that you have more Saint energy than the entire Black Tiger Gang. I think you’re someone who has had a fortuitous encounter.”
Zhao Hai’s expression changed when he heard the old man’s words. The power of faith in his body was very strong, and he was very clear about that. However, he had never learned how to hide the power of faith, so he had no way to hide it. This had always been his worry. He was afraid that he would meet someone who could see the power of faith. If that happened, his power of faith would definitely attract the covetous eyes of that person.
However, after being in the world of cultivators for such a long time, Zhang Feng, tie zhantian, and even the sly old fox Hu liangchen had not noticed anything different about the power of belief in his body. This made Zhao Hai think that he was the only one who could see the power of belief, but he did not expect the old man to see through it.
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, ” “You don’t have to be afraid. I have no intention of harming you. You are now a member of the black Tiger Gang. Once you become stronger, there will only be benefits and no harm to the black Tiger Gang. You might have noticed that I am already at the end of my life. I have no other wishes, I only hope that you can help me protect the black Tiger Gang in the future.”
Zhao Hai didn’t say anything. He didn’t dare to respond to the old man’s words, nor did he dare to believe them. The old man of heart prison had said that he was better than him, but in the end, it was just to possess the body. Zhao Hai naturally didn’t dare to believe the old man’s words. However, he didn’t dislike the old man because he didn’t sense any hostility from him.
Back then, Zhao Hai could sense hostility from the old man of heart prison, so he did not believe his words. However, he did not sense any hostility from the old man. Even so, Zhao Hai did not dare to trust this old man easily because he was afraid that this old man’s cultivation was too high and he could not sense any hostility.
“I know everything that happened in the black Tiger Gang all these years, but I didn’t do anything. Do you know why?” the old man looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice.
Without waiting for Zhao Hai’s reply, the old man continued, ” “It’s because I want to save my life. I want to live a little longer. Only in this way can the black Tiger Gang continue to exist. More than a thousand years ago, I found that my life was coming to an end. I had no choice but to start a closed-door training, watching everything that happened in the black Tiger Gang with cold eyes. Although I know that the development of those big families is not a good thing for the black Tiger Gang, I can’t touch them, because once I do, my life will be consumed at an accelerated rate. If something really happens to the black Tiger Gang, I’m afraid I can’t even move.”
At this point, the old man sighed and said, ” &Quot; the heavens have not forsaken me. I can’t believe that I’ve encountered such a thing in the final moments of my life. Not only have I resolved the black Tiger Gang’s crisis, but
I’ve also established tie zhantian’s position. I’ve even met you. Hehe, the heavens have not mistreated me! &Quot;
When Zhao Hai heard the old man’s words, he could not help but be stunned. An alarm went off in his heart, and he began to be on full alert.
