"The martial world from over a decade ago?"
Li Sanyin heard Ye Ling's words and then let out a scoff, saying, "Kid! Don't try to fool this old man. Hongchen Pavilion was already wiped out by the Dragon Department. When I was still roaming the martial world, you were still wearing a split-crotch pants!"
A bare-chested burly man beside Li Sanyin also chuckled at Ye Ling, saying, "I'd like to know what it was like over a decade ago. Even if the people from Hongchen Pavilion came back to life, my axe would send them straight back to the King of Hell!"
The speaking burly man was Wu Xin, the sect master of the Eagle Claw Sect and the vice leader of the Hantian Alliance. He was known for his usual acts of arson, murder, and robbery, committing all sorts of evil deeds.
However, despite his large and imposing physique, he was extremely meticulous in his actions, never leaving any evidence when committing crimes. Not to mention the Snow Hidden Sect, even the Dragon Department couldn't do anything to him for the time being.
As Li Sanyin and Wu Xin spoke, the disciples of the Hantian Alliance also burst into laughter, making no effort to hide their mockery of Ye Ling.
The Snow Hidden disciples behind Feng Ke, unaware of Ye Ling's background, couldn't help but ask Feng Ke in hushed tones, "Senior Sister, who is he? He looks like he's here to help us. Is it okay for us to let him face the Hantian Alliance alone?"
Feng Ke chuckled and said, "It's normal that you don't know him, as he has been away from this martial world for over a decade... But over a decade ago, he was someone known to everyone in the martial world!"
"That formidable?" the disciples exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course!" Feng Ke's mood clearly brightened. "He's my idol, Senior Sister's idol. Just you wait... the Hantian Alliance is going to have bad luck."
As Feng Ke finished speaking, the disciples of the Snow Hidden Sect also became excited, looking at Ye Ling with anticipation, eager to see what Ye Ling would do next.
Li Sanyin didn't hear Feng Ke's words, but he didn't dare to truly lead his men to storm the Snow Hidden Sect. He was currently troubled by how to make progress in the matter, and Ye Ling's appearance gave him an opportunity to establish the prestige of the Hantian Alliance.
With this thought, Li Sanyin cleared his throat and said to Ye Ling, "Kid, I don't know where you popped out from, but since you've interfered in the affairs between our Hantian Alliance and the Snow Hidden Sect, you'll have to pay the price!"
As he spoke, Li Sanyin gave a signal to Wu Xin beside him. Wu Xin immediately understood and led a group of异士 to surround Ye Ling.
Ye Ling glanced at the 异士 who had surrounded him and asked Li Sanyin with a smile, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Li Sanyin raised his eyebrows slightly, sizing up Ye Ling from head to toe, and then said, "Judging by your attire, you should be a young master from a noble family. Since you've ruined our plans, you need to take responsibility and compensate us."
"Have your father bring ten million to redeem you, and then you'll kneel and kowtow to me three times, and we'll spare your life."
"Ten million? And kowtow?" Ye Ling burst out laughing. "Are you dreaming in broad daylight? You're more audacious than a thief."
"Hmph! We have so many brothers in the Hantian Alliance, so many mouths to feed. You've wasted our time just now, plus compensation for our emotional distress, so ten million is the least we're asking for."
Li Sanyin narrowed his eyes at Ye Ling and slightly raised his hand. The 异士 surrounding Ye Ling all moved in unison towards Ye Ling, tightening the encirclement and putting pressure on Ye Ling.
The Snow Hidden disciples watching from the manor entrance all exclaimed in anger, "This is too much! To commit such acts in front of our Snow Hidden Sect, they truly don't take us seriously!"
Saying this, a Snow Hidden disciple drew his sword, intending to go forward and help, but was stopped by Feng Ke.
"Don't go. Your clothes are all white, and it's troublesome to wash out bloodstains."
"Senior Sister? Isn't that your idol?"
Hearing Feng Ke's words, all the disciples were stunned, not understanding why Feng Ke had suddenly become so indifferent towards Ye Ling.
However, it wasn't long before the disciples realized they had misunderstood Feng Ke.
The blood Feng Ke was referring to was not Ye Ling's.
Seeing that Ye Ling was not afraid at all, Li Sanyin sneered, "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Someone, go teach him a lesson!"
"I'll go!"
As Li Sanyin's words fell, a Hantian Alliance disciple over two meters tall volunteered and walked out, standing opposite Ye Ling, his bell-like eyes glaring at Ye Ling.
At this moment, behind Ye Ling, Black and White Impermanence appeared silently. The two bowed respectfully to Ye Ling, saying, "We welcome your return, Your Majesty. The Underworld has already prepared. This year's performance depends on you."
"What kind of person do you think I am? It's not that exaggerated."
Ye Ling smiled at Black and White Impermanence, then raised his hand and sent a spirit blade towards the Hantian Alliance disciple rushing at him, slicing off his head.
Black and White Impermanence skillfully hooked the soul of the Hantian Alliance disciple, their faces expressionless throughout the entire process.
It was a familiar feeling.
Bang!!!
As the headless corpse slowly collapsed to the ground, its crimson blood staining the white marble tiles, all the Hantian Alliance members present, including the Snow Hidden disciples at the manor entrance, were stunned.
The surroundings fell into an endless silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Li Sanyin looked at the corpse in front of Ye Ling, blinked hard, and his legs began to feel weak, trembling uncontrollably.
It seemed he had encountered a formidable opponent!
He was usually wicked and had killed people before, so he knew very well that someone like Ye Ling, who could end a life with a casual gesture, was undoubtedly a blood-soaked executioner who killed relentlessly!
For such a person, one should either not become their enemy, or if they do, they must spare no effort to eliminate them, otherwise, the consequences would be endless!
Just as Li Sanyin's thoughts were racing and he was about to order the Hantian Alliance disciples to attack Ye Ling together and eliminate him, over a dozen black cars suddenly arrived on the roadside, and a group of people with powerful auras descended from them!
"Minister Wang of the Dragon Department? And a bunch of S-class members? Why are they here?"
Li Sanyin recognized Wang Liren, and his pupils contracted sharply, a storm of shock surging in his heart!
It was important to know that the weakest S-class members of the Dragon Department were now at the eighth rank of 异士, with ninth-rank Red Dust Immortals and cultivators above the ninth rank being everywhere!
And the head of the Dragon Department, Wang Liren, was a dragon among men, the undisputed number one of the Dragon Department, the God of War of China!
Now that Wang Liren had arrived with a large group of Dragon Department S-class members, Li Sanyin couldn't fathom what had happened!
However, Li Sanyin quickly regained his senses. He thought of using the Dragon Department to help the Hantian Alliance eliminate the great threat, Ye Ling, and immediately ran forward, shouting to Wang Liren, "Minister Wang! I am Li Sanyin, the leader of the Hantian Alliance. Someone here has killed our alliance disciples on the street. Please, Minister Wang, uphold justice for us!"
Li Sanyin shouted with great emotion, but Wang Liren completely ignored Li Sanyin. He led the S-class members past Li Sanyin and rushed to Ye Ling's front, kneeling on one knee before Ye Ling and respectfully saying, "Wang Liren of the Dragon Department, along with all S-class members of the Dragon Department, welcomes Your Majesty's return!"
Wang Liren's words exploded like a depth charge, instantly igniting the entire scene!
