Chapter 972: Ximen's Orphan

As time passed, night fell swiftly.

In a hidden location in China, within a grand and luxurious palace, Protector Ping and the two elders who had appeared at Cang Mountain were now present.

Before them stood a middle-aged man clad in a resplendent robe, his features solemn and his eyes sharp like a hawk's. He radiated an invisible aura of authority but showed no fluctuations of True Qi, appearing just like an ordinary person.

"Clan Leader, the matter unfolded just as so. Based on our deductions, the current owner of the Minghong Blade must be related to that person; otherwise, the people from Dragon Soul wouldn't have aided him so, nor said such things,"

one of the elder's spoke.

The middle-aged man, known as Situ Hong of the Situ Clan, had a glint in his eyes.

"I hadn't expected the master of the Minghong Blade to be related to him, no wonder he could control the Minghong Blade. It seems this young man is also a defiant being just like him!"
