A man dressed in a black robe with a black ghost mask, a full head of silver hair, and an extraordinary imposing aura stepped into the courtyard, accompanied by four middle-aged guards who radiated an equally formidable presence. This sight left everyone present in utter shock. Ding Shaochong and Wang Yujie, standing atop the earthen mound outside the wall, were also dumbfounded. Ding Shaochong said with terror written all over his face: "The Great Elder has arrived! This time, Big Brother is probably in grave danger!"
Lěng Yè stared intently at the masked man, a fierce sense of crisis welling up in his heart. Although he could not gauge the other's true strength, he was certain he would not last a single blow against him. More importantly, rage burned fiercely in Lěng Yè's chest—this was the very person who had ordered Long Aotian to murder his mother. In other words, this man was his sworn enemy.
Though he desperately wanted to step forward and demand why the Great Elder had killed his mother and what his connection to the Lěng family was, reason told him that doing so would be nothing short of suicide. Even with the Sword-Nurturing Gourd in his hand, he was no match for this powerhouse.
