After hearing Tian Buhui's words, the members of the nine great clans showed expressions on their faces that seemed to say, "The good show is finally about to begin." However, when that ominous voice appeared, their expressions changed drastically.
Even Ling Hanxue and Chen Feichen suddenly turned serious, feeling a hint of unease.
Chu Yang was greatly surprised; who could possess such power to make the nine great clans fall silent?
As the voice echoed, everyone looked over in astonishment, only to see three figures appearing at the entrance of the mountain!
All three were dressed in hemp clothing, with wide sleeves and straw sandals, their attire simple yet exuding an aura of someone who had distanced themselves from the mundane world.
One person had a sword sheath hanging on their left side, another had a long sword suspended at their right side, while the third carried a long sword over their shoulder.
The foremost person had white hair and beard, looking spirited and vigorous. The second had grayish-white hair, a slightly hunched figure, and a pale face full of wrinkles. The third had jet-black hair, a complexion as white as snow, and stood tall, appearing to be in their forties.
At first glance, it seemed as though representatives from the old, middle-aged, and young generations had all arrived.
Among them, one person seemed very familiar to Chu Yang.
After a moment’s thought, he realized he had indeed seen this person before. [Pride of the Nine Heavens]
He remembered that in the Extreme North Wilderness, someone had been forced back by a single word from Bu Liqing, and it was this very person.
In a flash of realization, Chu Yang finally understood who these three individuals were, and he understood why the nine great clans held such trepidation: they were the enforcers of the law from the Nine Heavens!
This was the most mysterious and powerful force in the Nine Heavens, the enforcers of the law!
“What a grand scene; how could we miss it?” the white-haired elder said slowly, not raising his head or opening his eyes. “We come uninvited; I hope the members of the nine great sovereign families do not take offense.”
“Not at all… You flatter us…” Chen Feichen smiled nervously and quickly said, “It’s a pleasant surprise that you have come, hehe, please, take a seat…”
However, the white-haired elder paid him no mind, not even glancing in his direction, and continued, “The paths of the nine great clans are numerous, each leading to the heavens; we have always held great admiration for you.”
This statement caused the faces of the members from the nine great sovereign families to feel somewhat strained, turning red and pale in turns.
“The paths of the nine great clans leading to the heavens” clearly criticized them for disregarding the rules of the Nine Heavens and recklessly causing trouble.
“Cough, cough… esteemed enforcers of the law… I mean, don’t you think, the scenery here in the Middle Three Heavens is quite beautiful?” Night Slaying Rain giggled, habitually throwing a flirtatious glance. But as soon as she did, she felt something was off…
The frail, gray-haired elder suddenly raised his head, his brows furrowing as his eyes, like electric bolts, shot toward her.
Night Slaying Rain had no time to evade, locking eyes with his gaze. Suddenly, she let out a muffled groan, her chest heaving, and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her body swayed, almost toppling from the high platform.
The elder, however, did not retract his gaze,淡淡道：“这里风光很好么？我怎么不觉得？”
Night Slaying Rain dared not respond, lowering her head and skillfully hiding the hatred in her eyes.
“Today is merely to observe the battle. Once the fight concludes, all members of the clans will return with me to the Upper Three Heavens!” the white-bearded elder said slowly. “If anyone wishes to disregard the rules, attempting to escape or pursue other agendas, do not blame us for not sparing the nine great sovereign families any face!”
