"You can speak now."
Ling Xian glared at the Leader Elder. He was confused and curious.
Honestly speaking, he and the Leader Elder hated each other like a sea of blood. If it weren't for him, the Leader Elder would still be the leader of the King's land.
Yet before his eyes, this person was now a prisoner. Not only was he extremely exhausted, but he was also about to lose his life. This enmity could not be resolved.
Therefore, Ling Xian was very curious as to why the Leader Elder was looking for him.
"I know you are confused right now. Because you are my enemy."
The Leader Elder stared at Ling Xian, "But in reality, you and I are not enemies. We merely have different standpoints."
"I agree with the first half of what you said. But it's not like we have different standpoints. You asked for it."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Stop beating around the bush. I know you didn't find me to vent your anger. Speak. What do you want?"
"Then I will speak."
The Leader Elder's expression turned serious and he said in a low voice, "I want you to take care of my granddaughter."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. Then, he shook his head and laughed.
"No matter what caused us to stand on opposite sides, you and I are still enemies. This is something that no one can change."
"So, what makes you think I will take care of the descendants of my enemies? Isn't that like raising a tiger and inviting disaster? "
"Plus, can you guarantee that after I raise her, she won't try to assassinate me?"
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. Anyone would find this suggestion funny.
However, the Leader Elder didn't laugh.
He looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner and said word by word, "She won't know it was you who harmed me. There is no way she will seek revenge."
"So what? I don't like to adopt children. I will not adopt the children of my enemies. "
Ling Xian spoke softly, "There is no need to bring this up again. If there is nothing else, I will leave now."
"You cannot leave and I will not let you leave." The Leader Elder smiled, full of confidence.
This piqued Ling Xian's interest, "Don't forget who you are. You are someone who is about to die. What makes you think you can move me?"
"Because I still have one more treasure."
The Leader Elder's eyes were full of confidence, "I believe it can move you."
"Oh?"
Ling Xian became even more excited and grinned, "Tell me about it."
"I believe you must be very curious as to how I made the totem's level drop."
The Head Elder looked at Ling Xian meaningfully, "Throughout the history of the Sorcerer Domain, there have been a few instances where a totem was demoted. But to achieve this, is as difficult as climbing up to the sky. So I think you must be very curious. "
"Yes, I am indeed curious."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered with intelligence, "You want to use this secret to exchange for my promise to take care of your granddaughter?"
"Clever, but inaccurate."
The First Elder shook his head and said, "To be precise, this is not a secret, but a secret treasure."
Then, with a thought, a black bead appeared. In an instant, the entire dungeon turned darker and darker, as if it had fallen into an endless abyss.
At the same time, the place turned cold, as if he was in a world of ice and snow. Even with Ling Xian's capabilities, he shivered.
This shocked him, and at the same time, made him even more excited.
All because the ability of this bead was far too heaven-defying.
As everyone knows, a totem is the most important foundation of a tribe. Once a totem is destroyed, the entire tribe's vitality is greatly diminished.
Using the royal tribe as an example, after the totem's level drops, most cultivators' levels drop as well. Without a seventh leveled cultivator, the royal tribe was no different from a large tribe. If it weren't for the First Elder and the other two, the royal tribe would've been swallowed by other forces.
In other words, this bead has the ability to destroy a top-notch tribe!
How heaven-defying was this? Why wouldn't Ling Xian's heart burn?
"I don't know the name of this bead and I don't know where it came from. But I know its effect, and you know it."
"Its ability is to pollute a totem and make it drop a level. Even a top-notch totem cannot defend against it."
"Based on my estimation, this bead can only be used one more time. In other words, you have a chance to destroy a top-notch tribe."
The Head Elder spoke slowly. He didn't intentionally use a seductive tone, but his words were full of temptation.
Ling Xian couldn't deny this.
Just like the Head Elder had said, this bead truly has the ability to destroy a top-notch tribe. Whoever has it would be the same as owning an undefeatable weapon.
This level of temptation was something even a seventh leveled cultivator could not resist!
Therefore, Ling Xian fell into a dilemma and was very conflicted.
"Do you even need to think about it? If it was anyone else in your position, they would also choose to accept it. After all, this is a supreme treasure that can destroy a top-notch tribe. "
"I know you are extraordinary. Given time, even a top-notch tribe cannot do anything to you."
"But that's in the future. With this bead, you will no longer need to fear the top-notch tribes. This is the same as having an extra life."
The Head Elder spoke slowly. He didn't purposely try to seduce Ling Xian, but every single word he said was extremely tempting.
This made Ling Xian even more troubled.
That was a treasure that could destroy a top-notch tribe. All he needed to do was nod and he could have it. All he had to do was take care of a little girl.
This was obviously a small sacrifice, but a giant reward. Even a seventh leveled cultivator would find it hard to resist.
"It sure is tempting …"
Ling Xian softly sighed, "Are you not afraid that I will steal it from you? Don't forget, all I need to do is think about it and your soul will be destroyed. "
"All I need to do is think about it and I can destroy this bead."
The Head Elder's expression was calm, "Why don't we see who is faster?"
"I will be faster than you. Because before I move, you cannot destroy this bead. Once I move, you won't be able to move." Ling Xian glared at him.
"You are right. But you won't do that."
The Great Elder smiled and said, "I understand your personality. This is also the reason why I want to entrust my granddaughter to you."
Pausing, he continued in a low voice, "You may not be a good person. But you are definitely someone who keeps his promises. I am not worried about making a deal with you."
"So you are saying I am honored?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow.
"No, to put it more accurately, I am glad."
The Head Elder shook his head, "Glad that you keep your promise. Or else this treasure that can destroy a top-notch tribe would not be in your hands."
"Okay." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile and decided to agree.
To trade a small sacrifice for a giant reward, there was no reason for him to say no.
Therefore, he smiled, "I cannot take care of your granddaughter for the rest of her life. But I promise that I will make sure she grows up safely. I will also do my best to teach her cultivation."
Hearing this, the Head Elder smiled. There was joy and relief.
"Very good. With these words, I am not worried." The Head Elder smiled and tossed the black bead to Ling Xian.
Seeing this, Ling Xian carefully caught it. Like he was holding onto a piece of porcelain that would shatter if he used too much force.
What could he do? This was a weapon that could destroy a top-notch tribe. How could he not be careful?
