Chapter 2157: Silver Fox (1/2)

“Bam! Bam! Bam!” The sharp and clear slapping resounded throughout the inn to the astonishment of the crowd.

“Isn’t this too much, not sparing any face for the Peng Clan - an irreconcilable feud. It might even antagonize Upper Faction.” Someone took a deep breath and murmured.

The Peng and the Chen from Upper Faction were extremely close due to their marriage alliances. Thus, Shengping’s action was also a direct insult towards the Chen.

“Who is he?” No one recognized Li Qiye here but someone this bold couldn’t be a n.o.body.

However, his background remained unknown to the crowd.

“Well done!” Clapping suddenly interrupted the slapping. A person came in and laughed: “A dog threatens based on its master’s influence. He thinks he can do whatever he wants after sucking up to Upper Faction. Yes, keep on teaching this ignorant brat a lesson!”

The newcomer looked quite young. He was well-dressed with a silver cloak; strangely enough, his hair was white, draping over his shoulders.

This color made him quite unique. His eyes were sharp like an eagle looking at a prey.

“Silver Fox!” Everyone, whether it be clan disciples or sect elders, came up to greet this young man.

“Silver Fox of Northern Territory from Sacred Inst.i.tution.” Everyone shuddered after seeing him.

Sacred Inst.i.tution was one of the four great powers while Northern Border was one of its two sects. It was quite powerful with many sects and clans beneath its banner.

This youth was quite famous, a great genius and the representative of Northern Territory - Xu Zhijie.

He was in charge of a legion acting as the pillar of Sacred Inst.i.tution and a supervisor in Insane Court. The guy had quite a prestigious role so everyone gave him face.

Moreover, he was good at socializing on top of possessing a keen view on everything. Because of this, these powers wanted to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with him. This was why everyone in the inn got up to greet him.

After the death of the previous emperor, the important players have been wanting to seize power. Though w.a.n.g Han was temporarily in charge, a new emperor would be appointed in due time.

There were a few potential candidates right now, and Zhijie was one of them. Thus, it was crucial to be on his good side, just in case.

Li Qiye flicked his finger at this time and the suppressed old man got blown flying. He then waved his sleeve at Shengping.

Shengping finally stopped and let go of Weijin: “Young Lord Peng, people only live once, you need to more careful.”

He was actually speaking with good intent in order to stop the kid from provoking Li Qiye. It wouldn’t just be a slapping session next time.

But now, the only thing on Weijin’s mind was hatred and a thirst for vengeance.

“Yang! Remember this, I will not only destroy Grand Sword but will also torture all of its members, flaying your flesh, piece by piece… Just you wait…” He struggled to run out of the inn but still uttered these vicious words before leaving.

Silver Fox Zhijie only shook his head and said: “What a fool, throwing away his clan’s face.”

He then walked over to Li Qiye and bowed: “My name is Xu Zhijie, a disciple of Insane Court. You must be Dao Brother Li.”

It looked like he has figured out a little about Li Qiye, just not his exact ident.i.ty. The w.a.n.g Clan has been keeping a tight lid on this.
