Chapter 694: Chapter 692 Saint Yun Venerable

Speaking of which, although that group of old fellows were advanced in age, they were indeed very exclusive within this circle.

For them, it was one thing for Wang Hao, that greenhorn youngster, to come and watch the fun; they were happy to show off, just in case he might need help with something. That could easily mean tens or hundreds of thousands pouring into their accounts.

But if Wang Hao wanted to get involve too... hmm, then naturally, they couldn’t give him a warm welcome.

A group of old guys were quietly discussing on the side, but Wang Hao didn’t pay any attention to them.

After all, for Wang Hao and Bai Yaning who were in the heat of a new romance, how could they possibly care about others? Discussing their favorite topics was the real deal for them.

As the two were chatting, suddenly the surroundings fell silent.

Curious, Wang Hao looked up and saw an old fellow, about sixty years old, entering with several assistants crowding around him.

This elderly man was dressed in a white robe and cloth shoes, exuding the aura of a seasoned sage, holding a pair of white jade health balls. Walking with a swagger and chest puffed out, though old, his vitality seemed to outmatch many young people.

Not just him, even the few assistants by his side all looked ruddy and smug.

As soon as they entered, one of the young men loudly announced, "Saint Yun Venerable has arrived!"

"Wow, the Venerable is actually here!" Upon seeing this old man, everyone at the table stood up, hastily paying their respects, "What wind has blown you here? Please, have a seat, have a seat!"

"Yes, yes, everyone, please don’t stand on ceremony, sit, sit." Saint Yun Venerable nodded lightly then cheerfully took the seat of honor, saying, "How long have all of you been here?"

"We arrived last night," one old man replied with a smile beside him, "With the Venerable being able to come, this matter looks like it’ll be trouble-free."

The others quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, the Venerable is the top Onmyoji in our country, unmatched in Feng Shui and Face Reading, Demon Extermination... a true leader!" "Exactly, and not only that, the Venerable’s rejuvenation skills are unparalleled too! With him here today, there’s no way this won’t go through."

The group chattered incessantly, and the so-called "Venerable," basking in their praise, his face colored with pride.

"I dare not accept all that," the Venerable chuckled, stroking his beard, "Back in the day, I just got lucky to come across the ’True Inheritance of Ghost Valley’ manuscript, and somewhat boastfully became the hundred-and-eighth descendant of Ghost Valley. Ah, now that I’m old, those empty titles really don’t matter, hehe."

He was actually just bragging, but Wang Hao, who was chatting with Bai Yaning, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this.

What the heck? ’True Inheritance of Ghost Valley’? And the hundred-and-eighth descendant of Ghost Valley?

You say that, and what am I supposed to do? Become the hundred-and-ninth descendant? That’d make me a junior compared to you?

Actually, Wang Hao was just a bit surprised, but the Venerable, hearing Wang Hao’s burst of laughter, immediately took offense.

"This young man is..." He looked at Wang Hao, frowning, "Seems a bit unfamiliar, not someone within our circle, huh?"

Hearing him ask, Wang Hao hurriedly replied, "Ah, sort of half-involved, I’m just here to look around."

Wang Hao was really just speaking off the cuff, but one of the old fellows at the table, eager to make a good impression, quickly introduced him, "Ah, come, come, let me introduce you. This is Lin Shengyun, Master Lin, a well-known great Onmyoji in our circle, known as Saint Yun Venerable. A master of both Feng Shui and Face Reading, and Demon Extermination, he’s recognized as a high expert in the industry!"

After this introduction, Saint Yun Venerable, Master Lin, immediately bowed with his fists together, "You flatter me, you flatter me!"

Then the man began introducing Wang Hao, "Saint Yun Venerable, let me introduce you, this is Wang Hao, a very famous director and actor. The hugely popular movie War Wolf that was recently released, he directed and starred in. He’s considered a prominent figure among the younger generation, a rising star!"

"Wang Hao?" Had it been anyone else, they would likely have exchanged a few courteous remarks first.

But unexpectedly, upon hearing the name Wang Hao, Lin Shengyun instantly frowned. He scrutinized Wang Hao carefully, and suddenly, his expression darkened, with his tone unconsciously revealing a deep chill, "So it’s you, you’re Wang Hao?"

Eh? This guy knows me?

Wang Hao was curious too. I don’t recall ever meeting this guy before, and he seems quite hostile!

"Ah, yes, what’s the matter?" Wang Hao curiously looked at him, "Have we met before?"

"Hahahaha! Truly, enemies often cross each other’s paths!" Lin Shengyun burst into loud laughter, then stared intently at Wang Hao, saying, "You and I have no personal feuds, but you and my disciple, hehe, that’s a significant enmity!"

Hearing Lin Shengyun’s words, the group of old men around suddenly looked at each other, instantly stunned!

"Now there’s going to be a good show!"

"Yes, it seems there’s no small feud between Wang Hao and the Venerable’s disciple!"

"This young man is in trouble now. The Venerable is no joke, being the hundred-and-eighth descendant of Ghost Valley, he’s not an ordinary figure!"

"""Oh, no kidding! Back in the day, there was a rich second generation who dared to challenge the Venerable, and what happened? He dropped dead in the street within three days. This incident was huge!""""

They whispered amongst themselves, with Wang Hao furrowing his brows.

Who exactly was this disciple Lin Shengyun mentioned that had a beef with him?

"Hey, your disciple is..." Wang Hao looked at Lin Shengyun. "Have I met him before?"

"Hey hey, my disciple is called Wang Long," Lin Shengyun stared at Wang Hao, chuckling coldly, "The name should ring a bell, shouldn’t it?"

As soon as Wang Hao heard the name Wang Long, he smacked his forehead.

Now he remembered!

Back when his great-grandfather celebrated his hundredth birthday, that Wang Long guy did put on quite a show. That fellow used both the Compass and a jade basin to turn into a snake and pulled off a lot of fancy tricks until Wang Hao exposed him.

So, this Saint Yun Venerable is his master?

Well then, the disciple fails and the master appears. When you think about it, both of these guys come from the same school of show-offs—each just as extravagant as the other!

"Ah, so it’s him," Wang Hao laughed, "I did meet him then. How’s he doing now?"

"Not so great!" Lin Shengyun exploded in anger at Wang Hao’s comment, "Now his reputation is in tatters, and it has even affected my own reputation! Wang Hao, don’t assume that just because you defeated my disciple, you can do whatever you want. That useless Wang Long only learned less than 30% of what I taught him! Now that I have bumped into you, I must make you understand, we from the True Inheritance of Ghost Valley are not to be trifled with!"

"Oh, really?" Wang Hao was quite indifferent.

After all, if the disciple was just a swindler living off others, his master was no better in Wang Hao’s eyes.

"Whether it is or not, you’ll find out soon enough," Lin Shengyun scoffed and then shook his neck, clearly not taking his opponent seriously. With a vicious smile, he said, "Boy, I’m warning you upfront, it would have been fine if you hadn’t provoked me, but now that we’ve met, whatever happens to you, don’t blame me! Since you’ve broken the rules, you’ll have to withstand the wrath of our lineage!"

His words were chilling, making everyone at the table shiver with fear!

"Oh? So what?" Wang Hao shrugged, showing he didn’t care in the least.

"And what if I told you..." At this moment, a young man who had come along with Lin Shengyun said, "Do you know who my grandmaster is?!" He seemed to be enjoying the biggest joke ever as he looked at Wang Hao and continued, "My master received the heavenly scrolls at sixteen, debuted at eighteen! In his lifetime, he’s seen more Feng Shui and Face Reading for graves and Yang Mansions than he can count! He’s crossed more bridges than the roads you’ve walked! Even that time he subdued a demon in public, sealing it and protecting everyone!"

After he finished speaking, another person added, "My grandmaster, Saint Yun Venerable, possesses boundless Mana, is invincible in attack, and undefeated in battle, blessed with eternal fortune and longevity as the heavens! Now, do you still want to challenge his elderly self?"

Wang Hao: "..."

Dammit, why didn’t you just straight up call him ’Ancient Immortal’? With boundless Mana, invincible in attack, undefeated in battle, blessed with eternal fortune and longevity matching the heavens...

"Bring it on then," Wang Hao showed he truly didn’t care and continued serving Bai Yaning food while saying, "Since he started this, what do I have to be afraid of?"

...

Across from them, Wang Hao and Lin Shengyun had just met and instantly clashed, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Fang Family’s Manor, creating a buzz!

"Did you hear?! Wang Hao started fighting with Saint Yun Venerable the moment they met!"

"Really? What happened?!"

"How could it be fake? I heard that Wang Hao had previously offended Saint Yun Venerable’s disciple, Master Wang Long, and now the Venerable wants revenge!"

"Damn, that’s vicious! This guy is really going head-to-head with Saint Yun Venerable!"

What can we say? In the Heavenly People’s Republic, everyone loves a good spectacle; it’s nearly in every Heavenly Country person’s nature, even for the descendants of a superclan like the Fang family.

Now that they’d heard Wang Hao and Saint Yun Venerable had clashed upon meeting, everyone quickly gathered around to discuss it.

"Wang Hao, the director and star of ’War Wolf,’ reportedly has even caught up with Bai Yaning, the number-one beauty of the Heavenly Country, and is really riding a wave of success!"

"So what? Saint Yun Venerable has boundless Mana, I’ve heard countless legends about him, and he’s one of the top figures in the Fengshui World, Venerable being the highest title in the Onmyoji circle!"

"Exactly, with that kind of power, boasting abilities to conquer demons and summon soldiers from beans, Wang Hao meeting him will definitely end up dead in minutes!"

"Alas, it’s such a pity, just when he was enjoying his success, he had to provoke Saint Yun Venerable, and now he’s bound to face immediate troubles, it’s truly tragic!"
