A White-bearded Old Man walked in from outside, and all the Elders rose to salute the Old man. Even Sect Leader Cao Jun did the same, his expression extremely respectful.
This was because the Old man was the Supreme Elder of the Hao Xian Sect, and also a Martial Emperor. His status in the Hao Xian Sect was extremely respected. What he said was even more effective than the current Sect Leader Cao Jun.
"Supreme Elder, the reason I invited you here this time is about this array," Cao Jun said, looking at the Old man.
"Array, what array?" The Old man was a little surprised.
It seemed that when mentioning this array, the Old man also showed some interest.
"Supreme Elder, it's like this, the experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect are pressing down, and our Hao Xian Sect is currently isolated and helpless!" Cao Jun said with a grave expression.
The Supreme Elder frowned and said, "Didn't you invite experts from other Sects to help?"
Cao Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Supreme Elder, you may not know this, but we have sent communication talismans to other Sects, but they said they can barely protect themselves and have also discovered traces of the Heavenly Demon Sect outside their Sects. They dare not act rashly now."
The Supreme Elder was angered, and snorted, "That's simply nonsense. The Ten Great Sects had an agreement of mutual assistance back then, and now that the matter has arrived, they are all backing down one by one."
Cao Jun was helpless. The Hao Xian Sect was unique among the Ten Great Sects, and its popularity was not very good to begin with. It was normal to be abandoned now. Therefore, he said to the Supreme Elder, "Supreme Elder, now besides the experts of the other major Sects, what we can rely on is our Hao Xian Sect's mountain protection array."
"That's right, if the Hao Xian Sect's mountain protection array can be activated, it will be a great weapon against the Heavenly Demon Sect," the Supreme Elder's eyes narrowed, showing a hint of joy.
Cao Jun, however, shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Supreme Elder, I'm afraid you don't know that our Hao Xian Sect's mountain protection array, after a thousand years of wear and tear, is now broken and damaged. The power it can exert is less than one-tenth of its original. Therefore, we need you, Supreme Elder, to repair it."
Cao Jun naturally knew that Array Dao Masters were very scarce in the Northern Region, and he had almost never heard of one. However, he accidentally learned that the current Supreme Elder of the Hao Xian Sect seemed to be studying Array Dao. Perhaps the Supreme Elder could find a way to repair this mountain protection array.
The Supreme Elder nodded frequently while listening to the first part, but when he heard Cao Jun asking him to repair the mountain protection array, he almost spat out the tea he had just drunk.
The Hao Xian Sect's mountain protection array was an eighth-tier array. And he was only a third-tier Array Dao Master. For a third-tier Array Dao Master to repair an eighth-tier array, this could no longer be described as ignorance; it was simply a fool's dream.
"This Esteemed One cannot do it. That is an eighth-tier array. For this Esteemed One's ability to repair it, it is simply a fantasy," the Supreme Elder waved his hand.
With this hope shattered, Cao Jun was immediately somewhat disappointed. After all, if the Heavenly Demon Sect's mountain protection array could be repaired, it would be a Sharp Weapon against the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"But it's not without hope."
Suddenly, the Supreme Elder changed his words.
Cao Jun's eyes lit up, and he looked at the Supreme Elder and asked, "Supreme Elder, what do you mean by this?"
The Supreme Elder nodded slightly and said, "I can't do it, but that doesn't mean others can't. This Esteemed One knows that there seems to be an expert in our Hao Xian Sect whose Array Dao ability is above mine."
"Is this true?"
Cao Jun and the Elders looked at each other, all somewhat disbelieving. In the Northern Region, Array Dao Masters were almost non-existent. Even the Supreme Elder was self-taught. It was already rare for the Hao Xian Sect to have a beginner Array Dao Master. But now, hearing from the Supreme Elder that there was someone in the Hao Xian Sect who was stronger than him in Array Dao, it was truly incredible.
"Of course, this person's Array Dao cultivation is unfathomable, far above this Esteemed One. This Esteemed One believes he might be a mid-tier Array Dao Master, and there is even a slight possibility that he is a high-tier Array Dao Master. If he is a high-tier Array Dao Master, repairing the Sect's mountain protection array will not be a difficult matter," the Supreme Elder said lightly.
"Really, where is this person?" Cao Jun asked excitedly.
Originally, Cao Jun thought he could quickly find that Array Dao expert. However, he did not expect the Supreme Elder to say, "This person and this Old man have only met once. This Old man does not know his whereabouts."
At this, Cao Jun was dumbfounded. He just looked at the Supreme Elder and asked, "Supreme Elder, could the expert you mentioned be one of our Hao Xian Sect's Elders or Deacons?"
Naturally, Cao Jun thought so. An Array Dao Master who could be stronger than the Supreme Elder must be a white-haired Senior with many years of experience.
"No... He shouldn't be an Elder or Deacon, he should be an Inner Disciple of our Hao Xian Sect," the Supreme Elder shook his head and said.
"Inner Disciple?"
If these words hadn't come from the Supreme Elder, Cao Jun would never have believed it.
"Inner Disciples, this will be difficult to investigate. Most of our Hao Xian Sect's Inner Disciples are currently out on missions. Although we have recalled all the Disciples who were outside due to the Heavenly Demon Sect's rampant activity, a large portion of them have not returned in time," Cao Jun frowned.
The Supreme Elder shook his head and said, "This is not without a solution. Although this Esteemed One does not know the name of that mysterious expert, I know his appearance. Now this Esteemed One will draw a portrait of that mysterious expert, and it should be easy to find him."
Upon hearing this, Cao Jun said with great joy, "That's great, Supreme Elder, please hurry and draw it so that we can find this person as soon as possible."
"Mm!"
The Supreme Elder nodded. As the Supreme Elder of the Hao Xian Sect, he naturally would not stand by and watch the Hao Xian Sect suffer calamity.
Soon, Cao Jun prepared a piece of paper and handed it to the Supreme Elder, asking him to start drawing the portrait of that mysterious youth.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed in from outside. It was Tu Zhan, who had rushed over after hearing the news. When Tu Zhan saw that the Supreme Elder was also there, he was overjoyed.
Cao Jun was unique in the Hao Xian Sect, and his relationship with the Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leader was not very good. This time, in order to undermine his prestige, Cao Jun personally interfered. Even Tu Zhan himself personally went, but he did not manage to get Zhang Hao out of the Law Enforcement Hall. However, this time, if the Supreme Elder interfered, it would certainly not be difficult to get Zhang Hao out.
However, Tu Zhan did not speak. Because the Supreme Elder seemed to be drawing. This made him curious as to what the Supreme Elder was drawing.
"It's this person, take a look, has anyone seen him?"
The Supreme Elder handed over the painting in his hand.
The person in this painting was none other than Zhang Hao, and this Supreme Elder was naturally the Old man who encountered Zhang Hao while setting up the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array on the back mountain that night.
The background of this painting was at night, so it was not drawn very clearly. Although Cao Jun and several Elders had also seen Zhang Hao, the painting was somewhat blurry.
"He looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is for a moment," Cao Jun said, looking intently at the person in the painting.
