In the rhythm of 45 bell rings, Zhang Tie appeared in the spot of the Ancestral Shrine Palace.
All the guests in the auditorium unconsciously turned around to see Zhang Tie slowly walking towards them in a casual and confident way like the moon being surrounded by a myriad of stars.
Many guests had seen Zhang Tie before. Therefore, when they saw Zhang Tie once again, they were not shocked too much. However, at Zhang Tie's look which was as young as that of a teenager, all those who had not seen Zhang Tie before widely opened their mouths.
'He's too young. What an excessively young earth knight!' Zhang Tie had just celebrated his 30th birthday last year. After one more month, he would be 31 years old. A 30-year old earth knight was definitely rarely seen among the top 7 sects of Taixia Country, not to mention that Zhang Tie's look was much younger than his actual age. Given his look, he was just a teenager, who didn't look like a clan elder at all.
