The elder in black looked at him with cold, piercing eyes and said, âThis seat is the golden medal enforcer of the Law Enforcement Hall, Tian Youde!â
âGolden medal enforcer!â The old man in white robes exclaimed exaggeratedly, âWow! So impressive! With such demeanor and tone, I thought it was the Law Sovereign himself who had arrived, speaking in such a mannerâŠâ
He then rolled his eyes and shouted, âTian Youde, do you know who I am?!â
Tian Youde angrily retorted, âI donât care who you are! Just let go of the person!â
He had always been in charge of the Law Hall, known for making others suffer, but when had someone bullied him? He was already losing his patience.
The old man in white became serious and said coldly, âI am Ning Haijiao!â
He took two steps forward lightly and said, âHave you heard of me?â
âNing Haijiao? Never heard of him!â Tian Youde scoffed, disdainfully.
The old man Ning Haijiao revealed a look of desolation in his eyes and sighed, âIn todayâs world⊠the martial artists are so forgetful! They even forgot me, how terrifying it is!â
âYou nameless wretch, are you looking for death?â Tian Youdeâs face darkened, and he was about to make a move.
Ning Haijiao lamented, âBack in the day, the blade of the horizon and the cape sword roamed the martial arts world together, shaking the world⊠What a glorious time⊠Just because of a momentâs carelessness, I was plotted against, and since then, I have withdrawn from the martial arts world⊠Itâs only been a few years, and yet no one knows who I, Ning Haijiao, am anymore⊠Ah⊠the bitterness of life is truly lamentable.â
Tian Youde stepped forward, sneering, âThe blade of the horizon and the cape? I will send you to the ends of the earth!â
âStop!â Another elder in black shouted from behind.
Tian Youde was displeased, âSun Zhen, whatâs the matter? Why are you stopping me?â
Sun Zhen ignored him, looking at the old man in white with uncertainty, âAre you surnamed Ning?â
The old man in white rolled his eyes, âI am not surnamed Ning⊠Does that mean Iâm surnamed Sun?â
That statement was utterly rude, and Sun Zhen broke out in a cold sweat, âMay I ask what is your relation to Ning Tianya, Ning Supreme?â
Upon hearing âNing Tianya,â Tian Youde was instantly struck like lightning, his eyes wide in disbelief as he took three steps back.
He looked at the white-robed elder in shock.
âAh, I didnât want to use my brotherâs name to scare peopleâŠâ Ning Haijiao sighed, âSince you recognized me, I wonât hide it. I am Ning Haijiao! The brother of Ning Tianya!â
Everyone was shocked, and they all vomited in unison.
You donât even need your brotherâs name to scare people. Look at you, reciting poetry at the drop of a hat, always mentioning the blade of the horizon and the cape. You clearly want everyone to know⊠I really donât know how you plan to make use of your brother's name to scare people!
This is simply outrageous!
âSince you claim to be the brother of Ning Supreme, what proof do you have?â Sun Zhenâs voice now held some respect.
Ning Haijiao raised his hand and casually tossed out a jade pendant, saying, âProof, which I originally didnât want to show you. However, I have withdrawn from the martial arts world for a long time and not meddled in worldly affairs. To prevent others from saying I am deceiving people, I have no choice but to lower my status.â
Sun Zhen caught the jade pendant and saw that in the middle of it, a âNingâ character was carved in a flamboyant style.
At this moment, the experts in the hall had all come out, surrounding the scene, whispering among themselves. Ning Tianyaâs brother⊠such a prestigious identity, and he actually came to Ye Prefecture!
He came to this branch of the Law Enforcement Hall!
A person's name, a tree's shadow!
Who would dare to be negligent?
Everyone was very curious.
Looking at the ordinary jade pendant in his palm, Sun Zhen was somewhat baffled. Damn it, this jade pendant is made of inferior White Crystal, and just because it has a âNingâ character on it, you can prove you are Ning Tianyaâs brother?
