His words were like a blast of Cold Ice, plunging the hall into a dead silence.
No one spoke. Their gazes met, a silent battle of wills unfolding.
In the end, it was the Ning Clan Leader who broke the silence.
He dropped all pretense, standing up and walking to the center of the room.
He stared directly at Song Qingyun, his gaze unvarnished. The Divinity Transformation cultivator behind him was his backing. So what if Song Qingyun's Cultivation was high?
"Sect Leader Song, if I were you, I'd know my place instead of provoking us the moment you arrive."
"If the Song Family wants to develop among the top-tier families, you'll have to obediently dull your edge and follow our lead. Otherwise..."
A sinister smile spread across his face.
"The same way the Song Family rose up is the same way you'll be sent tumbling down."
The moment he finished speaking, nearly everyone in the hall stood up.
To protect their own interests, they had to be united at this moment.
