92 A turn of events 2 (2/2)

”Se Tibe, even if you wish me dead, you should try to be more subtle.” Tie Nse saying this, of course knew that they were only worried for themselves. If his disciple had the ability to kill him, then they were not safe either. Nevertheless, Tie Nse did not care for their concerns.

”Tie Nse, your disciple was the last known to enter the Baju valley, the first to come out. Since then the Baju valley has been locked. This crime can not be ignored. Hand him over for investigation. If he is innocent, then he will be fine. This is your responsibility too, as Heaven alliance patriarch. The significance of the Baju valley can not be understated.” a voice rang through the arena. Many turned to look at who had spoken. All except Tie Nse.

”The Ke clan came prepared. I was wondering how long you intended to hide for.” Tie Nse said, not caring to look at the man floating in the sky.

When the man in question heard these words, his eyes narrowed. How could Tie Nse had found him out? Had he gotten that strong that he could no more hide from his eyes? Tie Nse did not give him a chance to contemplate if he had found him out and confirmed his worries.

”Since the Ke clan left protector has showed himself, why don't the rest of you come out?” Tie Nse said and the arena tensed.

”Left protector? What's that?” someone in the audience asked his colleague.

”You don't know? Each power has at least two protectors. But the alliances and the clans have more. The two most powerful protectors are usually divided into left and right.” someone explained.

”What protectors? What have I never heard of them?” another asked.

”What do you know, they are very old and before our time. How would we ever hear of them?” another answered.

With discussions popping out around the crowd, two more protectors floated into the arena.

”You have no fear.” one of them said.

”No.” Tie Nse did not bother to mince words.

”Will you willingly hand the boy over or not?” the other asked, a dangerous air slipping from him into the air. Many suddenly found it hard to breathe. Apart from the tension and excitement in their bones that a fight is about to break out, and they would have a front row seat to it, the aura those above were releasing, was very suffocating.

”When did you have the right to request a disciple from me?” Tie Nse asked, his old face smiling dangerously.
