"Ha ha, I didn't expect Ning City to be so lively today!"
As this laughter faded, a middle-aged man in silver armor slowly approached with a group of soldiers.
"Is that Ning Wen, the head of the Ning Family?!"
"Look at him; it seems the Ning Family is also ready to get involved."
"Yeah, but I wonder who Ning Wen will support?"
"I think Ning Wen will help the Zheng Family. After all, the current Zheng Family has climbed up to the high branch of the Ice River Sect, and Ning Wen would naturally want his family to leave a good impression in front of the Ice River Sect."
"Not necessarily. Ning Wen has always had a good relationship with Aojia. Maybe he is here to assist Aojia..."
"It's Ning Wen. Why is he here?" Zheng Kun frowned slightly as he saw Ning Wen striding toward them.
Upon seeing Ning Wen, Bai Xin also slightly restrained his domineering aura. Of course, this did not mean that Bai Xin was afraid of Ning Wen, but rather that he was somewhat wary of the power behind Ning Wen.
"Ha ha, I've heard for a long time that Aojia has produced a genius named Aotian. Seeing him today, it truly lives up to the reputation!" Ning Wen said with a friendly smile toward Aotian.
Upon hearing Ning Wen's words, the surroundings erupted in chatter. Although Ning Wen did not explicitly state his position, his friendly demeanor toward Aotian undoubtedly conveyed to everyone:
Today, my Ning Family stands together with Aojia!
Aotian was also taken aback by the stance expressed by Ning Wen. Initially, Aotian thought that today, the Ning Family would choose to watch from the sidelines, but he never expected that Ning Wen would directly stand on his side.
Although Ning Wen had a good personal relationship with his father, in matters of business, he had always prioritized the interests of the Ning Family.
"Uncle Ning Wen, your presence at my Aojia truly brings glory to us. However, due to some unexpected events today at Aojia, we were unable to welcome you properly. I hope you won't take offense!"
Although it is somewhat strange why Ning Wen chose to stand with Aojia, now that the choice has been made, Ning Wen is on his side. And when it comes to his own people, Aotian has always been very sincere.
"Haha, if my dear nephew Aotian encounters any trouble, Extraordinary and I are here to help. If I, Ning Wen, can assist in any way, I will not refuse!" Ning Wen said with a smile.
As soon as Ning Wen finished speaking, the crowd around them gasped in surprise. At this moment, Ning Wen had clearly stated his position, and his words revealed another piece of information.
That is to say, the reason the Ning Family chose to stand with Aojia was not because of Aojia's head, Aotian, but because of Young Master Aotian!
This left everyone even more shocked, wondering what it was about that young man that made the Ning Family completely side with him.
But regardless of the reason, the fact that Aotian could make this old fox, Ning Wen, make such a choice was enough to leave everyone astonished.
"Ning Family head, do you know what you are saying?!" Zheng Kun glared at Ning Wen with malice.
Ning Wen could sense the threat in Zheng Kun's tone and felt a surge of anger. After all, he was the head of the Ning Family and also the lord of Ning City; his status was certainly higher than Zheng Kun's. How dare he speak with such a threatening tone?! Does he really think that the Ning Family fears the Zheng Family?!
Ning Wen snorted coldly and said:
"Zheng Kun, the three major families in Ning City have maintained their own territories. Although there are undercurrents, they have always kept a tacit balance. Yet you now wish to swallow Aojia and disrupt the balance of Ning City; what is your reasoning?!"
Then, without waiting for Zheng Kun to respond, Ning Wen's tone became even sharper:
"Most importantly, you dare to resort to violence in Ning City, disregarding the peace of its citizens. How can I, as the lord of Ning City, tolerate this?"
Zheng Kun was immediately rendered speechless by Ning Wen's barrage of words; for a moment, his mind went blank...
"Heh heh, Lord Ning is mistaken. Aotian is a criminal; he personally killed his cousin and drove away his brother and uncle. Do you really intend to shield such a criminal, Lord Ning?" Suddenly, Bai Xin spoke up lightly.
Ning Wen glanced deeply at Bai Xin and said,
"Well, that is just the consequence of Ao Gong and the others' own actions. Look at Ao Gong now, standing with the Zheng Family, helping them destroy his own family. A person like this deserves to be killed!"
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Bai Xin's eyes as he replied,
"It seems that Lord Ning intends to resist me?"
"Hehe, Young Master Bai, your status is noble, and I, as a mere city lord, naturally do not dare to be too presumptuous. However, the actions of the Zheng Family today are truly excessive, so I must give them a warning!" Ning Wen chuckled.
However, Ning Wen's words ignited a fire of anger within Bai Xin. Although Ning Wen had just claimed to hold a noble status, he then directly confronted him—wasn't that a slap in the face?
Yet, despite his fury, Bai Xin did not dare to act recklessly. This was because Ning Wen's status was indeed too special.
Ning City was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Fengyun Nation's royal family, and as the city lord, Ning Wen was essentially part of the royal family. If he were to harm Ning Wen, it would mean creating enmity with the royal family, which would not be wise for the Ice River Sect.
Moreover, it was quite strange that Ning Wen would choose to assist Aotian. Perhaps there was even royal backing behind this.
Bai Xin said darkly,
"Does Lord Ning really have to intervene in this matter?"
Ning Wen replied calmly,
"The Zheng Family has gone too far."
Although Ning Wen did not explicitly answer Bai Xin's question, his words clearly indicated that he intended to get involved in this matter to the end.
"Damn it, Senior Brother, that Ning Wen is too arrogant. Let me teach him a lesson!"
Zheng Kongqiang had long been annoyed with Ning Wen, and now seeing him dare to refute his senior brother, he was filled with rage and was about to rush forward.
"Come back!" Bai Xin said in a low voice.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Zheng Kongqiang asked, looking confused.
However, Bai Xin ignored Zheng Kongqiang and instead fixed his gaze on Aotian in the distance, speaking in a sinister tone:
"I didn't expect you could bring Lord Ning to speak for you. I really underestimated you."
Although Aotian was also puzzled as to why Bai Xin seemed so wary of Ning Wen, he considered it a good thing. Therefore, he paid no attention to Bai Xin's gloomy stare.
"Aotian, don't think that just because Lord Ning is helping you, you can rest easy. I'm telling you..."
Seeing that Aotian was ignoring him, Bai Xin became furious and shouted out loud. But before he could finish his sentence, a hoarse voice interrupted him:
"Haha, Aotian, it seems that not long after Old Man left, you've run into trouble?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a lean old man appeared beside Aotian like a ghost.
"Senior Sun?!" Aotian exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the lean old man.
The suddenly appearing Lean Old Man was none other than Sun Jing.
Seeing this unexpected old man, everyone was filled with confusion, not knowing who he was. However, judging by his appearance, it was clear that he was another helper brought by Aotian.
When Bai Xin saw Sun Jing, his expression suddenly changed dramatically. He truly did not expect that this Aotian could make this old man risk offending the Ice River Sect to come to Aojia's aid.
As the Young Master of the Ice River Sect, Bai Xin was naturally familiar with some of the powerful forces in the western part of Fengyun Nation.
Among these, the Sun Family was a large clan. Although the Sun Family was not as vast as the Ice River Sect, it was still considered a top force in the west of Fengyun Nation. Even if the Ice River Sect wanted to annihilate the Sun Family, it would come at a certain cost.
Sun Jing was the Grand Elder of the Sun Family, so Bai Xin was naturally not unfamiliar with him.
"Elder Sun, I didn't expect to see you here; this is truly fate," Bai Xin greeted Sun Jing with a smile.
Sun Jing was slightly taken aback, as if he had just noticed Bai Xin, and then he nodded with a smile in acknowledgment. He then asked curiously, "Bai Xin Young Master, may I ask why you have gathered so many people here at Aojia? Did Aojia offend you?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's face turned cold as he replied, "That's right. Aotian offended the family of my junior apprentice, so I intend to teach him a lesson."
"I see. Well, Bai Xin Young Master, Aotian has some connections with me. Would it be possible to let this matter pass?" Sun Jing said.
After hearing Sun Jing's words, the crowd began to murmur again. No one expected that another powerful warrior would stand on Aotian's side.
Although the crowd did not know Sun Jing's identity, they dared not act too recklessly in front of that old man when they saw Bai Xin facing him. This was enough to prove that the old man's status was extraordinary.
The fact that such an extraordinary person stood on Aotian's side and opposed the Ice River Sect was enough to shock everyone once again.
After hearing this, Bai Xin's expression suddenly darkened. He then gritted his teeth and said:
"Elder Sun, if I decide to deal with Aojia today, would you choose to stand by and watch?!"
Sun Jing said without hesitation, "Bai Xin, that's impossible. If you want to go against Aotian, I will definitely stand with Aotian!"
Hearing this, Bai Xin's expression darkened even further. He had originally thought that even if Sun Jing did not side with him, he would at least remain neutral due to the Ice River Sect's authority. However, what he did not expect was that Sun Jing would choose Aotian and completely sever ties with him.
This made Bai Xin, the proud Young Master, feel a burning pain on his face.
The decisions made by Ning Wen and Sun Jing undoubtedly indicated that Bai Xin was inferior to Aotian! Otherwise, why would Ning Wen and Sun Jing choose to stand with Aotian?
The expressions of the Zheng Family members were equally grim; it was clear to anyone that Aojia held an absolute advantage in strength.
If Zheng Ao's family truly clashed with Aojia, the ultimate victor would undoubtedly be Aojia!
Ao Gong's face had already turned ashen; he never expected that Aotian would bring so many influential people into the fray.
At the same time, a sense of despair began to creep into Ao Gong's heart. He knew that if the Zheng Family were to lose today, his own life would be in grave danger...
