Sensing Ling Xian's emotionless stare, the two of them felt cold all over. At the same time, they felt bitter.
Just like Ling Xian said, with him here, there was no way they could defeat the royal tribe. The only way out was to retreat.
Though if they allied with the man, they could definitely defeat Ling Xian. Don't forget, the royal tribe still had three cultivators of the advanced stage of the Blending Path. Not to mention joining forces, the chances of them protecting themselves were very slim.
Therefore, the two of them naturally felt bitter.
Everyone in the alliance felt the same.
All gazes were fixated on Ling Xian. There was respect, hatred, and helplessness.
Ling Xian didn't turn the tables by himself in this battle, but he was the key. Without him, the alliance would've won. With him, the alliance would've lost their chance.
Therefore, everyone naturally felt bitter and lamented over where such a monster came from.
Everyone from the royal tribe, without exception, was thankful and happy.
Originally, they all thought their tribe would be defeated. They didn't think things would turn around and they would escape death.
The situation was very clear. With Ling Xian here, the alliance had no chance of winning. If he wanted to, he could've made everyone stay.
Therefore, the cultivators from the royal tribe were naturally ecstatic.
"Oh well, we admit defeat."
The two of them sighed in unison, expressing that they were giving in and retreating.
This made the man's lungs explode. He didn't think even his two most reliable allies would leave him.
"They admit defeat. What about you?"
Ling Xian softly smiled and shifted his gaze towards the man who was covered in blood. "The situation has already changed. Why are you still resisting? No, you are seeking death."
Hearing this, the man revealed a bitter smile.
Ling Xian was right. The situation was no longer on his side. If he didn't retreat, then he wouldn't even be able to resist. He would be looking for death.
"Oh well, you sparing my life is already a great gift." The man bitterly smiled and uttered out a statement full of unwillingness and helplessness.
"I will retreat."
At those words, the entire alliance silenced. However, the royal tribe exploded into thunderous cheers.
Everyone's face was full of joy and excitement. Then, they all looked towards Ling Xian. Other than gratitude, there was respect.
Even the three cultivators of the advanced stage of the Blending Path were respectful.
"The right decision."
Ling Xian smiled faintly. He did it because he wanted to show his kindness to the king's land, so that he could get the chance to enter Pan Gu's ancestral land. He didn't hate the allied army.
Therefore, he only intended to scare off the allied forces and did not intend to see blood.
"Let's go."
The man smiled bitterly, struggled to stand up from the ground, and then led the allied army away.
This made the cultivators of the royal tribe sigh in relief. The way they looked at Ling Xian turned more and more grateful and respectful.
"May I know your name?"
The three elders flew before Ling Xian and paid their respect. They didn't dare to be rude.
"Ling Xian."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I wonder who you are …"
"I am the current Great Elder of the King Soil Tribe. This is the Second Elder, and this is the Third Elder." The white-robed old man pointed at the other two black-robed old men and gave a simple introduction.
"The current elders …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes, knowing what the elder meant. He was talking about after the King Land Tribe declines. If there were no surprises, these three people would be the current rulers of the royal tribe.
"On behalf of the King Land Tribe, I thank you. Thank you for lending a helping hand and saving the King Land Tribe." The Head Elder sincerely thanked Ling Xian. He bowed deeply and made a strange gesture.
Seeing this, all of the King Earth Tribe members reacted in the same way.
Ling Xian had seen this gesture before. He knew that this was the highest form of respect for the sorcerer kind.
Therefore, he smiled.
This gesture represented how much respect the royal tribe had for him. It helped him get the chance to enter Pan Gu's land. Naturally, he was happy.
"You are being too polite. It was nothing." Ling Xian waved his hand with a smile.
"To the royal tribe, what you did is a blessing from the heavens."
The Great Elder's face was full of smiles as he probed, "I wonder if you have a place to go? Do you have any business?"
"My business is to get the chance to enter Pan Gu's ancestral land."
Ling Xian silently smiled, knowing that the Great Elder was inviting him into the tribe. This was exactly what he wanted.
Therefore, he grinned, "I am traveling the Sorcerer's Land. I have no business and I have nowhere to go."
Hearing this, the Great Elder's smile deepened. The other two elders did the same.
Even though the alliance had retreated, it was because of Ling Xian's presence. Once he leaves, the alliance will for sure come back. When that happens, the royal tribe will still be in danger.
Therefore, the Great Elder wanted to invite Ling Xian into the tribe to intimidate them. Now that he heard Ling Xian had nowhere to go, he was naturally happy.
"Haha, I wonder if you are willing to stay at my tribe for a while? Let me do my part as the host. "The Great Elder laughed heartily.
"Then I will have to trouble you."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. The goal of his trip was to enter the royal tribe and find a chance to get a spot. There was no reason for him to reject.
Hearing him agree, the Head Elder was overjoyed and said, "Fellow cultivator, you must be joking. It is the Royal Land Tribe's honor that you are willing to stay for a while. How can you say that we are disturbing you?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled but didn't say anything.
He knew very well that there were two reasons why the Great Elder was inviting him. One was to express his gratitude, the other was to scare off the other tribes.
Plus, the latter was more important than the former.
Ling Xian didn't want to point this out. After all, the Great Elder's actions were what he wanted.
"Haha, please." The Great Elder extended his right hand, gesturing for Ling Xian to enter.
At this, Ling Xian didn't hesitate and entered the city.
Then, the Great Elder arranged a place for him to stay and left.
Ling Xian didn't stop him. Though he wanted to quickly deal with the spot issue, it was after the war and there were many things he needed to take care of. He couldn't bring up the matter of the spot.
Therefore, he stayed at the royal tribe and waited patiently.
Just like that, three days passed. All the things after the war were taken care of. The Great Elder and the other two elders appeared before Ling Xian.
"I am sorry. There have been far too many things to take care of. Please forgive me for any delay." The Great Elder paid his respect.
The other two elders paid their respect as well.
"It's okay."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. He didn't plan on waiting any longer. He smiled, "I have something I need to talk to you about."
"Oh?"
First Elder was startled for a moment and said, "Please speak, Fellow Daoist."
"The Ancestral Grounds of Pan Gu. You know about it, right?" Ling Xian grinned.
"Of course I do."
The Great Elder frowned and stared at Ling Xian, "Friend, you are here for the spot?"
"That's right."
Ling Xian admitted it and got straight to the point, "I want a spot. Great Elder, please state your terms."
"About that … please forgive me for not being able to help you."
The Great Elder hesitated and sighed, "The spot has been decided a long time ago. According to the rules, it cannot be changed."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned. He didn't think the Great Elder would reject him without even stating his terms.
