Iirc this is the first time the manhwa changed the flow from the novel and everyone is panicking lmao. But yes this old men was supposed to show up after the next Arc (Shaolin tournament). There's even a passage in the novel where they tried to go to Shaolin after they got kicked out (because shaolin and Mount hua is not doing good).
I thought they gonna take a break after his arc (ending when they got the tournament invitation) then proceed with it after a month or so
