Li Huai's attitude was overbearing to the extreme. He practically treated the Ning Family as if they didn't exist.
But the stronger side held the advantage. The Ning Family didn't want to hand over the Broken Sword, but given Li Huai's attitude, it was clear that if they didn't hand it over, they'd have to hand over their lives instead.
Ning Shiheng was already starting to waver.
Of the three members of the Ning Family, he was the one who scoffed most at the mysterious legends surrounding the Broken Sword.
Even though Li Huai had come to demand the sword, proving that it truly possessed some extraordinary quality, Ning Shiheng still wasn't willing to stake the lives of everyone in the Ning Family on something so vague and illusory. If Li Huai wanted it, then they could just give it to him.
But at that moment, Ning Feng spoke coldly. "Lord Li, don't push things too far.
"My Ning Family is known as the Danhuo Sword Pavilion, and our alchemy is just as exceptional as our swordsmanship. Over the years, we've supplied the Xiao Family with some of their pills.
"Now you want to move against my Ning Family. Have you considered what the Xiao Family might think?
"What's more, the Xiao Family knows that a secret is hidden in the Broken Sword. That secret was once recorded in some of my Ning Family's texts, but our descendants were too dull to discover it.
"If the Six Fan Sect keeps pressing us, then I'll have someone deliver our texts and the Broken Sword to the Xiao Family. That way, the Six Fan Sect will get nothing. We can both go down together!"
