"Let go of me you shameless woman!" Ancestor Ning's veins bulged at his temples, his fury a tangible thing in the air as his glare landed on Ning Yan. A scandal, that's what she was. It was widely known that she had been the one to usher Yun Xiao back to these grounds. "You… you're at fault for the destruction of the Azure Kite Sea too!" His voice shook with rage, yet Ning Yan offered nothing but silence in return.
The Sword Lord, uninterested in the burgeoning drama, interjected coldly, “Anyone else have grievances to voice? I’ve not yet had my fill of this petty bickering. Come, bring your complaints to the fore!”
The ancestors sealed their lips, locking away any further objections within them.
“Let’s proceed!” With a nonchalant air, the Sword Lord, flanked by Ning Yan and Yun Xiao, sauntered into the Sword Heaven, his every step languid yet purposeful, utterly unaffected by the stunned onlookers.
“Lin Qingfeng, your position of Sword Lord is but a hollow title,” the ancestor in red robes hissed through clenched teeth, blood lingering on his lips. “No one in Sword Heaven stands with you! What worth does your reign hold? When the Forbidden Tower Lord leads the Ten Great Families here to exact their vengeance, will anyone stand in your defense?”
Before the echoes of his defiance could fade, the Sword Lord reappeared before the red-robed ancestor.
The ancestor recoiled, eyes wide with a mixture of defiance and dread. “What more do you want?”
“You’ve still got a bone to pick, Second Uncle?” Without warning, the Sword Lord’s hand flicked forward, sending the ancestor tumbling to the ground, a stream of blood trickling from his nose.
The crowd, hundreds of Sword Heaven’s residents, could only watch, eyes reddening but tongues held, anger simmering beneath a forced calm.
