Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun had actually been watching the situation from the shadows all along. Originally, the plan between him and Ye Qing was to act after Ye Qing had lured out Master Nai Kun. However, he noticed earlier that Ye Qing was trying to trick Master Nai Kun into talking, so he held back and did not make a move. When he saw Master Nai Kun about to deal with Ye Qing, he could no longer hide and struck out with a punch to force Master Nai Kun back.
In his early years, Shen Tianjun had been to Nanyang and had met this Master Nai Kun several times. With Shen Tianjun's strength, Master Nai Kun was deeply impressed by him. So, upon seeing Shen Tianjun, Master Nai Kun recognized him at once, and his heart tightened. Dealing with Ye Qing was not really difficult, but with Shen Tianjun in the mix, escaping was his only option.
