Old Man Ling was extraordinarily gifted, no less talented than Ling Xiao and his son Lingyun. Thousands of years ago, he had already reached Great Perfection Tribulation Crossing, while Ling Xiao had only just managed to pass his tribulation. That alone spoke volumes about Old Man Ling's talent. He valued loyalty above all else. Because Ling Xiao had saved his life, he had resolved to repay him, which was why he called himself a servant of Lingxiao Pavilion.
Ling Xiao treated him like a brother, but knew how stubborn Old Man Ling could be, so he let him call himself that. He had originally offered him a position in the pavilion, but Old Man Ling had no interest in managing affairs. Later, at Lingyun's suggestion, they gave him the title of enforcer for Lingxiao Pavilion. He worked in the shadows, dealing with traitors to the pavilion.
Old Man Ling's element was metal, and he carried a strong aura of slaughter, so the role of enforcer suited him well. He agreed to it and had secretly dealt with quite a few who had betrayed the pavilion. Old Man Ling had always remained hidden, though. Lin Lei and the others knew that the enforcer existed and feared his reputation, but they had never known who he was. Only now, after hearing Old Man Ling mutter to himself, did they realize.
"Y-you're Lingxiao Pavilion's enforcer?!" Lin Lei and the other man had beads of sweat on their foreheads, and fear flickered in their eyes.
"You're not completely stupid, at least. That's right, I'm the enforcer." Old Man Ling casually summoned his Immortal Artifact, and a terrifying killing intent filled the air. "I had no authority to interfere before, but you're traitors. Hmph, now you should know whether I have the authority or not."
