"The Broken Cliff. That is a fitting name."
Ling Xian softly grinned and confirmed where the original leader was imprisoned.
If what the man said was true, then the Broken Cliff was without a doubt, the most suitable place. Because the rules stated that other than the Clan Leader, nobody can enter.
In other words, no one from the royal tribe dared to enter. This way, nobody could find out about the secret.
Therefore, Ling Xian was certain that if the Supreme Elder imprisoned the original leader, then the most likely place would be the Cliff of Broken Nets.
"That's right. Once you enter, you will never be able to come out. It is the same as losing all hope." The man nodded.
"Let me ask you one more thing. Were the current three elders also imprisoned at the Broken Cliff?" Ling Xian softly grinned.
"I …"
The man hesitated and said, "The current three elders have indeed committed unforgivable sins and are imprisoned in Broken Gaze Cliff."
"I knew it." Ling Xian squinted his eyes, beginning to understand why the three elders did what they did.
Once one enters the Broken Cliff, there is no way to come out. It was the same as losing one's freedom. Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for the Great Elder to take such an extreme approach.
However, understanding was understanding. Ling Xian was not going to agree and there was no way he was going to sit by and do nothing.
The First Elder had made it clear that he was not going to give the spot to him. The only way was to overthrow him and replace him with someone else.
Therefore, Ling Xian decided to make a move and save the original leader. Therefore, he said softly, "Tell me the location of the Broken Cliff."
"I …" The middle-aged man hesitated, unsure of what Ling Xian wanted to do.
"There is no need to worry. I am just curious about the place and want to go check it out." Ling Xian brandished his hand, gesturing for the man not to think too much.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was silent. Remembering Ling Xian's terrifying battling abilities, he gritted his teeth, "It is outside the city."
"Outside the city …"
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Do not tell anyone about what happened today. Or else you know the consequences."
"Senior, do not worry. Even if you lend me 100 guts, I won't dare to tell anyone." The middle-aged man fawned.
"Very well, continue to drink." Ling Xian softly grinned and disappeared right where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was outside the city.
There was an endless mountain range. One of the mountains was over a thousand feet tall. It was surrounded by clouds and was surrounded by many formations.
"That must be the Broken Watch Cliff."
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. In a flash, he appeared on top of the mountain peak. Then, his two hands began to move and he began to break the array.
With his current array skills, it wasn't difficult for him to break the arrays around him. Therefore, he merely used moments to break all the arrays.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded before his eyes.
There were more than a hundred stone pillars erected in this place, and a person was tied to each stone pillar. The pitch-black chains locked them down firmly, making it impossible for them to move.
As far as the eye could see, there were actually over a hundred people. There were men and women, old and young among them. Without exception, all of them had pale expressions and despair in their eyes.
"As expected, my guess was correct."
Ling Xian softly sighed and raised his voice, "Who is the leader of the King Land Tribe?"
At those words, everyone froze and shifted their gazes towards Ling Xian. Then, he revealed a doubtful look.
"I am the chief of the King Soil Tribe. May I know who you are?"
A man with messy hair asked. He was suspicious and cautious.
"The person who saved you." Ling Xian softly smiled, confirming his guess.
If the Chief Elder wasn't behind the totem's downfall, then why did he have to imprison these people?
"Saved us?"
The man was startled. His dim eyes revealed a look of surprise. However, his cautiousness didn't disappear.
Everyone else reacted the same way.
"That's right."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. He then told everyone about how he saved the King Land Tribe and what happened next.
After some time, everyone understood. The way they looked at Ling Xian changed. There was shock, gratitude, and admiration.
Shock because Ling Xian, who was of the intermediate stage of the Blending Realm, suppressed those of the advanced stage and scared off the allied army.
Gratitude because he saved the King Land Tribe.
As for admiration, it was because Ling Xian found out the truth from the Chief Elder's rejection and found this place.
This wasn't something normal people could do. Not only did it require a smart brain, but it also required a meticulous mind. Or else he wouldn't have been able to find out the truth from the Chief Elder's rejection.
"Phew, you are capable and meticulous. You are truly admirable."
The man exhaled a long breath, "I, Wang Wu, represent the King Land Tribe. Thank you for saving us."
"You are welcome."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. Looking at the defeated cultivators, he smiled, "Let's talk business."
Hearing this, Wang Wu's expression changed as if he realized something.
"I want to save you. What do you think?" The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a victorious smile.
"That goes without saying. Of course we are willing."
Wang Wu bitterly smiled. He knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. He had to give something. He asked, "I wonder what you want?"
"Very simple. I want a spot to enter the ancestral land of Pan Gu."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "If you agree, then I will save you and help you regain your position. If you don't agree, then I will turn around and leave. "
Pausing, he continued, "So, you better think carefully. Is the spot more important, or is your freedom more important?"
Hearing this, Wang Wu silenced.
The spot to enter the ancestral land of Pan Gu was far too valuable. It was immeasurable. However, compared to freedom, there was no comparison.
He was trapped here and had no freedom. What was the point of holding onto the spot? Plus, if he didn't overthrow the Chief Elder, he wouldn't even have the chance to decide on the spot.
Therefore, Wang Wu said in a low voice, "I agree. If you can save us and restore my position, I will give you the spot!"
"Correct decision."
Ling Xian softly smiled, not surprised at this result. Even an idiot would know what to choose.
"Swear to the heavens. I don't want to give you the chance to regret."
Ling Xian said softly. Though Wang Wu may not be as despicable as the Chief Elder, he didn't want to make any more mistakes.
"Okay."
Wang Wu nodded and immediately swore to the heavens. Then, he shifted his gaze towards everyone else, "You all do the same."
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison and swore to the heavens as well.
This made Ling Xian smile in satisfaction. Since he had sworn to the heavens, as long as he can help Wang Wu regain control, then he won't have to worry about Wang Wu going back on his words.
"Please help us escape." Wang Wu's expression was serious and his eyes were full of hope.
Everyone else was the same. They were all looking at Ling Xian with high expectations.
"Don't worry. Since I dare to make a request, I naturally have the ability."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Flapping around his sleeve, his grandmaster level of arrays manifested and instantly unlocked the array on the stone pillar.
Not just one, but all of them.
Everyone's eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. They didn't think the stone pillar that trapped them for 20 years would be unlocked so easily.
