"Speak!" Ye Ling released his grip, the Snow Drinking Blade slid back into its sheath, its tip pointing toward the man in black.
The man in black took a deep breath and began to speak slowly, "I was ordered by the Bald Brother exclusively to kill you!"
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed instantly, this statement was more or less what he had suspected; the Bald Brother had sent them to kill him, and this man in black was his representative.
"Has the Bald Brother made any other moves?" Ye Ling asked in a deep voice.
"No... no, besides ordering us to kill you, he hasn't done anything!" the man in black hastily replied.
"You're lying!" Ye Ling shouted coldly, "The Bald Brother sending you to kill me can't be that simple!"
"No... it's not!" the man in black quickly shook his head in denial, his tone clearly becoming somewhat panicked.
"Since you won't tell the truth, don't blame me for being impolite." Ye Ling's eyes hardened; his aura surged suddenly, a cold breath emanating from him.
