The giant Sun hung high in the sky before the Hun Kong Tribe.
50 seventh leveled cultivators lined up in a straight line. Their Qi was enough to shock the sky and earth.
This made Ling Xian's heart drop. Worry filled his brows.
The gap between them was far too wide. Even with the beast-clad elder and Granny Golden Snake, there was no chance of him winning.
When he saw the Ancient One, Gu Na, and other familiar faces, his expression darkened.
Before him, hundreds of people were kneeling. All of them were covered in blood and their eyes were unfocused. It was obvious that they had been tortured.
Especially the Ancient One and Gu Na. Their breathing was weak and they were on the verge of death.
This infuriated Ling Xian. Violent emotions poured out of his heart and he wanted to rip everyone from the Soaring Thunder Tribe into pieces!
Remember that he was born kind. No matter how angry he was, he wouldn't hurt innocent people. Yet at this moment, he wanted to kill everyone from the Soaring Thunder Tribe. It wasn't hard to imagine how angry he was right now!
At the same time, he was blaming himself.
The reason why the Ancient Fire Tribe was in this predicament was all because of him. Naturally, he felt guilty.
Seeing Ling Xian's anger, Qing Wuhui revealed a smile. There was cruelty and happiness.
The two elders beside him reacted the same way.
"Haha, Ling Xian, I will give you 15 minutes to think about it."
Qing Wuhui laughed out loud, "If you end your own life, then I will let these people go. If you don't want to, then I will kill them."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's fists tightened. The way he looked at Qing Wuhui was full of killer's intent.
The beast-clad elder and others reacted the same. But other than that, they were also full of worry.
Though they haven't known Ling Xian for long, they more or less understood his personality. At the very least, they knew that he valued relationships and loyalty.
Therefore, they were afraid that he would act on impulse and kill himself in exchange for the lives of the Ancient One and the others.
"Brother Wuhui, don't be so unreasonable. At the very least, give him more time."
An elder in black shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and mocked, "But remember, for every second, I will kill someone."
At those words, everyone on Ling Xian's side was enraged.
Killing someone for every second? What was the difference between that and 15 minutes?
"You are going too far!"
The old man in animal skin let out a furious roar. His qi and blood collapsed the clouds and shook the nine heavens.
This shocked the enemy. Even the old monsters who were at the same level as him had grave expressions on their faces.
The old man in animal skin was the most senior in the Sorcerer Domain and had lived the longest. He could be called one of the most powerful beings in the Sorcerer Domain.
"Old Monster Soul, there's no need to scare me. There are so many people in the allied army. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Qing Wuhui sneered.
Firstly, there were 50 people in the allied army, and many of them could contend against the old man in animal hide. Secondly, there were hostages in their hands.
"Senior, please calm down. The current situation is not suitable for a fight."
Ling Xian forced himself to calm down. At the same time, he stopped the elder because of these two reasons.
The situation was too disadvantageous for his side. If they really fought, the one who would suffer would definitely be his side. Furthermore, the allied forces had hostages in their hands. He could not sit back and watch the Ancient One and the others die.
Because of him, the Ancient Fire Tribe had lost their home. How could Ling Xian let them lose their lives?
Therefore, he had to stop the elder in beast skin.
"Haha, that's right. Think about it. Do you want to sacrifice your own life, or do you want to sacrifice theirs?"
Seeing that Ling Xian was stopping the elder in beast skin, Qing Wuhui laughed out loud. He was full of arrogance.
The other two elders of the Qing Lei Tribe reacted the same way.
"Don't you think it's despicable for a top-notch tribe to do something like this?" Ling Xian suppressed his anger and tried his best to remain calm.
However, he wasn't sure how long he could stay calm.
"The winner takes all. What matters is the result. Who cares about the process?"
Qing Wuhui coldly snickered, "Ling Xian, you are destined to lose this round."
Hearing this, Ling Xian silenced.
Though he didn't want to admit it, this was the reality. Even without the hostages, he had no chance of winning.
"Dammit, let's give it our all!"
"Yes, son of the witch, there is no need to hesitate. The worst that can happen is death. I have no fear!"
"Victory or defeat will only be known after a fight. Even if there is a huge difference in numbers, it doesn't mean we have no chance of winning!"
Everyone chimed in, their voices full of anger.
Not only was it because the Qing Lei Tribe was using hostages to threaten Ling Xian, but it was also because these people had betrayed Ancestor Pan Gu!
To them, who were loyal to their beliefs, this was the most disrespectful and deserved to die!
Therefore, everyone was furious. If it weren't for Ling Xian's silence, they would've rushed up a long time ago.
"I cannot fight."
Ling Xian softly sighed. Once the battle begins, hundreds of people from the Ancient Fire Tribe will die. How could he bear to do that?
Even if he took 10,000 steps back and made up his mind to ignore the lives of those people, he had no chance of winning.
Therefore, Ling Xian was very conflicted and was in a dilemma.
This made everyone from the alliance smile. Qing Wuhui and the two elders in particular, they didn't even try to hide their arrogance.
They actually didn't want to start a war. After all, the Soul Tribe and the other seven tribes were not to be messed with. The elder in beast skin was also one of the most powerful beings in the Sorcerer Realm. If they start a war, even if they win, there will be heavy casualties.
This was why Qing Wuhui used hostages to threaten Ling Xian. This way, he could minimize his losses. In fact, he might even be able to take his life effortlessly.
What was happening right now proved that this method was very effective.
What could he do? Ling Xian valued relationships far too much. This was his strength, but it was also his fatal weakness!
"Half an incense's time is up. Have you made up your mind?"
Qing Wuhui teased, "If you haven't, I can give you more time. But don't forget, you have to kill one person every second."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's anger intensified. He wanted nothing more than to smash this person into pieces. However, when he thought about the Ancient One and the others, he had to endure.
"You are going too far! Qing Wuhui, you are seeking death! "
"What a Qing Lei Tribe. I, Gu Jian, swear that I will slaughter the Qing Lei Tribe and leave no one alive!"
"Count me in. If I don't die today, I will pay you a visit someday!"
The few of them howled. Other than killer's intent in their voices, there was determination.
Qing Wuhui completely ignored them.
His Qing Lei Tribe was one of the strongest tribes in the Sorcerer Realm. There were monsters who have lived for countless years. Why would they care about these people's threats?
"Half an incense's time is up. Make your decision."
Qing Wuhui smiled and landed on top of the Ancient One and the others' heads. Instantly, a vast amount of energy engulfed them. With a gentle shake, they would be crushed into pieces.
This made Ling Xian's expression change. He gritted his teeth, "Okay, I promise you."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed.
The beast-clad elder and the others lost their composure. The allied army, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
"Hahaha, Ling Xian, oh Ling Xian, I really don't know what to say about you."
Qing Wuhui laughed proudly and teasingly looked at Ling Xian, "Are you saying you value relationships, or are you saying you are too stupid?"
