The wind blew gently and the night was as dark as ink.
On top of the mountain peak, Hun Jin's expression was heavy and worry appeared between his brows.
This made Ling Xian frown, "To visit so late at night, something important must have happened."
"You guessed correctly."
Hun Jin nodded seriously and said carefully, "I have two pieces of bad news. I hope you are mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's frown deepened, "Speak."
"Three days ago, the Qing Lei Tribe made a move."
Hun Jin revealed a worried expression and said, "According to the scouts, this tribe sent a total of twelve envoys to twelve peak tribes."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's heart dropped and his expression darkened as well.
Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that the Qing Lei Tribe was planning on allying together to kill him. After all, his existence was a threat. As long as he doesn't die, most people won't be able to eat or sleep in peace.
In other words, a great war was about to begin.
"It looks like they are planning on making a move." Ling Xian mumbled and frowned.
"Though we cannot be sure, there is a 99% chance that they are planning on making a move against you." Hun Jin said carefully.
"There is no need to doubt that."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "Just now, how many messengers did you say the Qing Lei Tribe sent out?"
"Twelve."
"Ignoring the hidden tribes, there are 20 top tribes in the entire Sorcerer Domain. We have seven tribes on our side."
"As for the remaining tribes, the Qing Lei Tribe has sent out messengers."
Hun Jin's face was full of worry. Especially when he realized that there was a high chance that the 12 forces would agree, the worry on his face intensified.
Ling Xian was the same.
If all 12 forces agree, including the Qing Lei Tribe, then he would have to face 13 top tribes.
Without exaggerating, this would be no different than going up against the Qing Lei Tribe!
With Ling Xian's current capability, he wouldn't even be able to defend against one, let alone 13 top tribes.
Luckily, he wasn't alone. At the very least, seven top tribes were on his side.
However, compared to the 13 top forces, they were without a doubt, much weaker.
Thus, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Hun Jin and said in a low voice, "Other than the seven tribes that are loyal to the Ancestor, are there no other tribes?"
"There are none. If there were, there wouldn't have been only seven people who rushed to save you that day."
"However, there might be some among the rogue cultivators, such as Gu Jian."
"Even though he's not a member of the Soul Sky Tribe, he grew up in the Soul Sky Tribe. That's why he's loyal to the Grand Wizard."
"There might be quite a few loose cultivators like him, but there's simply no way to gather all of them together."
Hun Jin shook his head with a bitter smile. He also felt that his side's strength was rather weak.
"In other words, the worst case scenario would be for us to fight against thirteen top-notch forces with seven top-notch tribes."
Ling Xian softly sighed and suddenly remembered his other identity. He mumbled, "No, the worst case scenario is that the 12 forces and the king's land won't target me."
Hearing this, Hun Jin was slightly startled, and doubt appeared in his eyes.
"After all, I have done the King's Tribe a great favor. I am also their High Elder. They probably won't do anything to me." Ling Xian softly grinned.
"Supreme Elder?"
Hun Jin was startled. He didn't think Ling Xian had an identity like that. But very quickly, he connected the dots and said, "It seems like the King's Tribe's return to its peak is all because of you."
"Not exactly."
Ling Xian brandished his hand, "But, with what I did for you, the King's Tribe won't be ungrateful."
"That's right. If the King's Tribe bites the hand that feeds them, then they would be far too shameless."
Hun Jin nodded, "If that's the case, then the worst case scenario is that we have 12 top-notch forces."
"That's right. Though we have one less force, we are still at a disadvantage." Ling Xian softly sighed, feeling troubled.
But what was done was done and worrying about it was useless. He asked, "What's the second news?"
Hearing this, Hun Jin's expression changed and he carefully glanced at Ling Xian.
This made Ling Xian suspicious, "If you have something to say, just say it. I won't blame you."
"Dare I ask, do you have any ties with the Ancient Fire Tribe?" Hun Jin hesitated.
"That's right. I once chased after the Ancient Fire Tribe for a period of time. I am indebted to them."
Ling Xian softly nodded and suddenly realized something. His expression changed, "Could it be … someone made a move against the Ancient Fire Tribe?"
"That's right. Just seven days ago, the Qing Lei Tribe sent out their elder, Qing Wuhui, to destroy the Ancient Fire Tribe."
"Of course, there were no casualties. They merely turned their base into ruins."
"But those people were brought back to the Qing Lei Tribe. Their current situation is unknown."
"Based on my speculation, the Qing Lei Tribe is using this to threaten you."
Hun Jin continued to speak. Every time he spoke, Ling Xian's expression darkened. In the end, his hair was standing on end and his killer's intent was boiling!
If before, he was merely a little angry, then now, he was truly furious.
At the same time, he was full of guilt.
The Ancient Fire Tribe had nothing to do with this and they were completely innocent. Yet because of him, they were taken hostage by the Qing Lei Tribe. Why wouldn't he feel guilty?
Why wouldn't he be furious?
"Dammit, a top-notch tribe is doing something so despicable and despicable!"
Ling Xian was boiling with anger. He wanted nothing more than to kill his way to the Qing Lei Tribe and save everyone from the Ancient Fire Tribe.
However, he also knew that the Qing Lei Tribe was doing this to force him to show himself. If he goes there without a plan, he'll lose his life.
Therefore, Ling Xian forced himself to calm down and suppress his anger.
This made Hun Jin's eyes flash with shock. He didn't think Ling Xian would regain his calmness so quickly.
Originally, he planned on persuading Ling Xian. But now, that was no longer necessary.
"I want to know how many people from the Ancient Fire Tribe are still alive."
Ling Xian's expression was calm and he appeared emotionless. However, deep inside his eyes, there was a burning flame of anger.
If the Qing Lei Tribe attacked him openly, he wouldn't be this angry. But what the Qing Lei Tribe is doing has touched his bottom line!
"I don't have a specific number. But based on the scouts' report, no bodies were found at the Ancient Fire Tribe's base." Hun Jin answered.
This made Ling Xian sigh in relief. Though the situation wasn't looking good, as long as they were alive, there was hope.
"I wonder how you plan on dealing with this?" Hun Jin probed.
"I will not change."
Ling Xian uttered out a statement and peered into the night sky. His eyes flickered with killer's intent.
It was obvious that the Qing Lei Tribe was doing this to threaten him. If that's the case, then they won't just sit back and do nothing.
Therefore, all he had to do was wait.
"Qing Lei Tribe, this time, we will not stop until one of us dies."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. The moment his voice trailed off, even though Hun Jin was of the seventh level, he shuddered.
