I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

"Hold on, Master Kong! This person is not Lei Ziyu!"

A loud voice exploded in everyone's ears, like a bolt of lightning striking nearby, making their hearts tremble.

Many people were startled by this shout, their hearts pounding wildly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elder Lai Changsheng of the Forging Pavilion striding through the air.

He reached out, hurriedly signaling Xiao Feng to put away the White Tiger Mountain-Breaking Bone.

"Elder Lai, what do you mean by this?"

Kong Yunfeng frowned, his gaze locked on Lin Ning.

As the Deputy Pavilion Master, he had witnessed Lai Changsheng's progression from a Forging Pavilion student to his current position as an elder, and he understood Lai Changsheng well.

If he didn't have any evidence, he certainly wouldn't speak recklessly.

Lai Changsheng stepped onto the arena, offered a salute with one hand, and then hurriedly said, "Master Kong, Lei Ziyu is known as the Thunder-Wind Emperor, and he was once my classmate and good friend!"

"However, he was prone to stealing when he was young, and after an argument with me, he embarked on his own cultivation journey."

Turning his head, Lai Changsheng looked at Lin Ning with a grim expression and said in a deep voice, "Speak, who exactly are you?"

"Why are you impersonating my good friend?"

Although the two had parted on bad terms back then, and it had been over a thousand years since they last met.

But as far as Lai Changsheng was concerned, he had always regarded Lei Ziyu as a good friend.

After cultivating for so many years, most of his childhood friends and relatives had already died. Once, he inadvertently heard that the Thunder-Wind Emperor was actually his childhood friend Lei Ziyu, which made him extremely happy.

"Me?" Lin Ning shrugged and smiled, "I am Lei Ziyu."

Hearing this, Lai Changsheng immediately retorted angrily, disregarding the presence of Deputy Pavilion Master Kong Yunfeng, and unleashed a secret technique towards Lin Ning with a flip of his hand.

"Still lying!"

"Lei Ziyu is the Pavilion Master of the Thunder-Wind Pavilion, the Thunder-Wind Emperor himself. How dare you impersonate him? Aren't you afraid that the thugs from the Thunder-Wind Pavilion will come knocking and kill you?"

Lin Ning smiled, "Kill me?"

"Heh heh, the Desolate Ancient Continent is so vast. I say I am Lei Ziyu, so how is that a fake? Could it be that people aren't allowed to have the same name?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd below nodded in agreement.

"That's right, the Desolate Ancient Continent is so big, with a large population, it's normal for people to have the same name. I once met someone with the same name as me."

"Exactly, I have a friend named Zhang Wei, and there are too many people with that name."

As he spoke, the cultivator shouted into the crowd, "Zhang Wei!"

Immediately, no fewer than ten people responded.

"What? Calling for your grandpa?"

"Hey buddy, are you sick? I was just watching the show here, don't call my name!"

On the stage, Kong Yunfeng waved his hand, signaling Xiao Feng to step back.

Lai Changsheng did not argue with Lin Ning about the Lei Ziyu issue. He spread out his hands, and a Star-Shattering Hammer appeared.

He gripped the Star-Shattering Hammer, first glancing at Kong Yunfeng, who remained silent. Lai Changsheng took this as tacit approval.

In the next moment, Lai Changsheng took a step forward, swinging the Star-Shattering Hammer and smashing it fiercely towards Lin Ning.

"If you want to prove your identity, it's simple, take a hammer from me!"

Lai Changsheng's move was very simple and crude, just gathering all his strength and smashing it hard at the enemy's head.

As long as he was ruthless enough, and the smashing force was great enough to smash the enemy's head into pieces, everything would be settled!

"What fast speed!"

Kong Yunfeng thought to himself, "I know Little Lai's realm. This young man can actually dodge the attack of a Great Emperor Completion cultivator so easily."

"This person is not simple!"

Could it be that, as Little Lai said, this person is not Lei Ziyu, and he has come here with ulterior motives?

After Lai Changsheng's hammer missed, he said in a deep voice, "I am a Great Emperor! Yet you can resolve my attack so easily, how do you explain that?"

Seeing that Lin Ning did not speak, Lai Changsheng laughed loudly, "Can't say it, can you?"

"Or, let me answer this question for you."

He held the Star-Shattering Hammer in one hand, turned around, looked at Kong Yunfeng with utmost respect, and said, "Master Kong, if I'm not mistaken, this person is Emperor Lin!"

"His bone age test was only eighteen years old, and in the entire Desolate Ancient Continent, only Emperor Lin has such heaven-defying cultivation at this age!

As far as I know, only Emperor Lin!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately stirred up a huge wave.

The cultivators were all too familiar with the name Emperor Lin. He was the most dazzling rising star of the previous period!

Emperor Lin, who was born out of nowhere, was like a rising star. Wherever he went, he attracted countless people's admiration and jealousy!

Whether it was fighting more than a dozen Great Emperors alone at the age of eighteen, or repelling the Witch-Demon King... everything he did made countless cultivators feel crazy!

"Emperor Lin? You are that Emperor Lin?"

A hint of anger appeared on Kong Yunfeng's face, and his tightly clenched fists made crackling sounds.

He snorted coldly and grabbed towards Lin Ning with one hand.

Suddenly, an invincible aura of a Venerable Emperor erupted from Kong Yunfeng, and a golden giant palm that seemed to be able to cover the sky stretched out, grabbing fiercely towards Lin Ning.

Wherever the golden giant palm passed, the space was distorted, and profound inscriptions lingered on the giant palm, strengthening it.

"Emperor Lin, you made our Forging Pavilion search so hard. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to our door today!"

"Today, I will kill you! To avenge the brothers who died in my Forging Pavilion!"

A few days ago, when his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Great Emperor, Lin Ning was not afraid of the Venerable Emperor's attack.

Now that his realm has reached the Completion of the Immortal Great Emperor, only one step away from the Venerable Emperor, Lin Ning is even less afraid of the Venerable Emperor.

A true genius can fight across realms and kill powerful enemies.

Lin Ning has so many inheritances, even if he doesn't use the Supreme Divine Realm, he doesn't need to fear the Venerable Emperor.

Watching the golden giant palm fall suddenly, Lin Ning raised his hand to counterattack.

He didn't have a sword in his hand, but when he counterattacked, countless sword lights rose into the sky, lighting up the firmament.

"Chih!"

The sharp sword light collided with the golden giant palm, causing a burst of spiritual energy storms to be born. The frenzied spiritual energy storms raged everywhere, blowing countless people into the air.

In Immortal Spirit City, many buildings collapsed after experiencing the storm's baptism.

"What powerful force!"

The cultivators looked at Lin Ning in astonishment.

"He is clearly not yet twenty years old, why is his combat power so fierce? Facing Kong Zun's offensive, he can actually hold his own!"

"This is Emperor Lin? He is indeed my proudest idol!"

"Buddy, this is the territory of the Forging Pavilion, be careful what you say!"

After the violent collision, Kong Yunfeng took half a step back. He stomped his feet, stabilized his body, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"No wonder the old Pavilion Master wanted us to kill Emperor Lin. This child can block my old-fashioned Venerable Emperor moves at such a young age."

"If he is allowed to cultivate for a few more years, wouldn't he become the master of the Eastern Wilderness?"

Kong Yunfeng clenched and released his right hand repeatedly to relieve the numbness in his arm.

The exchange just now made his arm numb, and with so many cultivators watching, he could only try to restrain his hands.

Clang clang clang!

......

Nine bell rings suddenly echoed melodiously in Immortal Spirit City.

Everyone's hearts trembled.

"This is, the Forging Pavilion Master's order?"
