"Haha, Lu Ming, please have a seat!"
The leader of the Ice Spirit Clan smiled and invited Lu Ming to take a seat. ranw? Enw? W? W? .? R? A? N? W? E? N? A? com?
Lu Ming and Bing Qing sat down.
"May I know why the Patriarch is looking for Lu Ming?"
Lu Ming did not beat around the bush and directly asked the question in his heart.
"Lu Ming, I've called you here to talk about the theft of the Nine Extinction Heavenly King Mansion's treasure!"
The Patriarch said.
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly and he said, "Have you found some clues?"
"I did find some clues, but I'm not sure yet!"
The Patriarch said. He pondered for a while and then continued, "Lu Ming, you should know about the Dark Ice Tribe, right?"
"Dark Ice Tribe? You mean the tribe that betrayed the Ice Spirit Tribe? "
Lu Ming's expression changed.
He still remembered that when he was assigned a mission by his sect to help the Icesoul Clan go to their ancestral land to retrieve the Ice Jade Heart, he had encountered a genius of the Dark Ice Race in the Icesoul Clan's ancestral land. They had fought over the Ice Jade Heart.
Could it be related to the Dark Ice Tribe?
"I think the Dark Ice Tribe is responsible for the theft of the Nine Extinction Heavenly King Mansion's treasure. The Dark Ice Tribe has been declining over the years, and the Nine Extinction Divine Crystal can help them rise again. They can even defeat us and return to the peak of the Qin Tian Star Area!"
The Patriarch said.
"Patriarch Bing, is this just your speculation or do you have any evidence?"
Lu Ming took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
He would not believe the Patriarch's words so easily.
The Ice Spirit Tribe and the Dark Ice Tribe had a deep hatred and both wanted to destroy each other. If the Ice Spirit Tribe wanted to frame the Dark Ice Tribe, it was possible that they could destroy the other party.
Hearing Lu Ming's question, the patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan smiled faintly. He had lived for countless years, so he naturally knew what Lu Ming was thinking.
"Lu Ming, you may think that I will frame the Dark Ice Race, but this concerns the survival of the Qin Tian Star Area and the survival of our race. I will not play around. There are many opportunities to deal with the Dark Ice Race. Why would I choose this time?"
The patriarch of the Icesoul Clan smiled and continued, "In the past, the Dark Ice Clan was very active and often had conflicts with our clan. However, during this period, the Dark Ice Clan has holed up and kept all of its clansmen away. It's very suspicious that they haven't done anything.
"I suspect that they've obtained a treasure and are secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the day they erupt!"
"Clan Leader Bing, even if the Dark Ice Clan did it, how could the Dark Ice Clan steal the treasure with the defense of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion?"
Lu Ming asked again.
If the Dark Ice Clan was so powerful to steal the treasure from the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion, they would have destroyed the Ice Spirit Clan and unified the Qin Tian Star Area.
"This is the key to the problem. I suspect that there's a traitor in the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion who colluded with outsiders. Otherwise, it's very difficult for outsiders to steal the treasure from the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion."
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan lowered his voice and said.
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly.
To be honest, Lu Ming had thought of this before.
The Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion was one of the 27 Heavenly King Mansions in the Taixu Dynasty.
Not to mention the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion's cultivation, even the guards of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion were extremely terrifying and unfathomable. It was almost impossible for outsiders to steal the treasure from the heavily guarded Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion without anyone noticing.
There was only one reason: there was a traitor in the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion who colluded with outsiders to steal the treasure without anyone noticing.
However, which force in the Qin Tian Star Area would collude with the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion?
"To be honest, in the Qin Tian Star Area, whether it's the Ice Spirit Clan, the Flaming Clan, or the Qin Tian Thirteen Sects, we're not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion. We're not qualified to make friends with the major forces and families in the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion!"
"However, the Dark Ice Clan is an exception. After the Dark Ice Clan was defeated, they left the Qin Tian Star Area and wandered to other places. After a long time, they returned to the Qin Tian Star Area. Therefore, the Dark Ice Clan is most likely to make friends with the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion!"
"Moreover, our clan has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on the Dark Ice Clan. Previously, the Dark Ice Clan was very active and often sent people out of the Qin Tian Star Area to the territory where the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion is located. This is the most suspicious point!"
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan explained.
"I see!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
After listening to the patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan, he really felt that the Dark Ice Clan was the most suspicious.
"If it's really the Dark Ice Clan, why would the experts of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion collude with the Dark Ice Clan to steal the treasures of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion? What benefits would it bring to those people?"
Lu Ming asked. He still had a lot of doubts.
"I'm not sure about this. I'm also confused. On the surface, it doesn't seem to bring any benefits to the people of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion. However, I reckon that the other party must have a purpose for doing so!"
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan frowned.
"However, this is just my speculation. There's no evidence. If I say it out loud, it won't be convincing. The people of the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion won't believe me."
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan sighed.
"Ice Spirit Clan's patriarch, what does this have to do with you inviting me here?"
Lu Ming asked again.
Even if the Ice Spirit Clan's patriarch's speculation was true, what did it have to do with him? What help could he provide?
"First, we need to find evidence that the Dark Ice Clan stole the treasures. However, it's almost impossible to find evidence in the Qin Tian Star Field. We can only find evidence in the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion!"
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan said.
"Ice Spirit Clan's patriarch, you want me to go to the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion to find evidence?"
Lu Ming's eyes flashed as he asked.
"That's right!"
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan nodded and said, "We've planted spies in the Dark Ice Clan. However, the Dark Ice Clan has also planted spies in our clan. As long as we send people to the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion, they'll immediately be alerted and we'll alert the enemy!"
"Moreover, it's not suitable for those with high cultivation to go to the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion. They'll also alert the Dark Ice Clan."
"Only those of the younger generation who head to the Nine Extinction Heavenly King Mansion with the excuse of training themselves and finding other geniuses to spar with them will not alert the others. That's because this kind of thing happens in every era!"
Lu Ming understood. The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan wanted Lu Ming to go to the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion to investigate the theft of the treasures in the Nine Jue Heavenly King Mansion and find evidence that the Dark Ice Clan stole the treasures.
"Alright, I'll go!"
Lu Ming nodded and agreed.
"Ah?"
The patriarch of the Ice Spirit Clan was stunned. Apparently, he did not expect Lu Ming to agree so readily.
He had invited Lu Ming to come here just to make this suggestion. As for whether Lu Ming would agree or not, he would not force him. Unexpectedly, Lu Ming agreed without the slightest hesitation.
