"Where the people from Buddha Sect?"

The Third Elder scoffed. "I don't see a single person from Buddha Sect in your midst. Am I supposed to just take your word for it?"

"You think I'm talking nonsense, do you?" Luo Qi sneered, then turned towards the sect leaders of the other sects.

"Ting Chan is dead. He was killed last night," Li Xuan said coldly as he narrowed his eyes. "Someone killed him with the Vajra Fist. Jiang Ning is the only person who could have mastered the Vajra Fist within such a short period of time and kill Ting Chan!"

The elders had seen it with their own eyes.

It had been here where Jiang Ning had battled more than one elder and defeated Elder Ting Feng with the Vajra Fist!

Their eyes wouldn't deceive them.

A severe look settled on the Third Elder's face. Had Jiang Ning killed Ting Chan?

He dared not consider the possibility of that being true.

"Stop wasting time and cease all that yammering. Let's just charge inside!"

"Jiang Ning's going to escape if we wait any longer!"

Upon the sudden shouts, the massive crowd got ready to make a charge.

"How dare you!" thundered the Third Elder as he glared furiously at the crowd. "Do you plan to go against your word?"

"You broke your word first!" Luo Qi bellowed angrily. "I know your devious ploy. You're trying to undermine our alliance and attack us when we are isolated and without allies. How despicable of you!" As he raised his hand, the disciples standing behind him got ready.

As soon as Luo Qi gave the order, they would charge into Qingshan Sect.

"I didn't expect the six major sects to be so unsure of themselves," Jiang Ning's voice rang out like thunder, nearly deafening everyone.

Luo Qi had asserted confidently that Tianlian Sect alone was enough to lay waste to Qingshan Sect.

But that wasn't what he had just said.

Jiang Ning walked out, with Liu Chuandao and an army of disciples behind him.

They had been prepared for this. They had known all along that the other sects wouldn't let them off that easily.

They had been right. Look who was here right now?

"Jiang Ning, I didn't think you'd dare to appear before us," Luo Qi said with a sneer.

"I thought you would have escaped."

"Why should I escape?" asked Jiang Ning mildly. "You're the one who's afraid of me. Why should I run?"

Luo Qi's face darkened with fury.

He was no match for Jiang Ning when it came to verbal sparring, but he dared not attack him physically too.

"You accuse me of killing Master Ting. Where's your evidence?"

Jiang Ning had expected that these people wouldn't let Qingshan Sect go that easily, but he had not expected this particular excuse from them. And Ting Chan of all people.

He had a favorable impression of the man. Those from Buddha Sect had been open to reason. Jiang Ning couldn't believe that he was dead.This content is © .

"Someone killed Ting Chan with the

Vajra Fist. You must have done it. Who else could it be?" Li Xuan scoffed. You're a prodigy who can master other fighters' techniques within a short period of time You think we don't know that?"

"Are you suggesting that I beat Ting Chan with a technique that I learned within a short period of time and that he'd practiced and labored at for decades?" asked Jiang Ning. "I'm not sure if you're trying to

compliment me or insult Ting Chan."

"Besides, where's Buddha Sect? Their chief is dead. If they suspect that I was the one who killed him, why isn't Elder Ting Feng here? He should know best how well I wield the Vajra Fist."

"No one from Buddha Sect is here. They've all left. The other five sects seem more worked up over their chief's death than they are. What is the meaning of this? Why are you poking your nose into another sect's business?"

"Stop your quibbling," retorted Luo Qi. "You're the one who killed Ting Chan."

Everyone got ready to attack.

Jiang Ning took a step forward. The look on his face darkened as he stared at Luo Qi with eyes that seemed so cold, they could freeze Luo Qi in his tracks.

A solemn look settled on Luo Qi's face. He felt the eyes of a predator on him and primal fear surface inside him uncontrollably.

"If I wanted to kill someone," Jiang Ning said frostily, "you would be the first person I'd kill"
