The Sun hung high in the sky, hot and bright.
However, the man and the others who were trapped in the Immortal Trap Array felt chills all over their bodies and darkness enveloped them.
The eighth leveled cultivators outside the immortal trap felt the same way.
Their faces were dark as they stared deadly at the golden array patterns. There was shock and anger.
The reason was because they could not break this array. Or in other words, they could not break it.
The man and others had lost all their strength and were almost completely merged with the immortal trap. If they try to break it with brute force, they will die.
Therefore, the more than 10 eighth leveled cultivators were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"I cannot believe Ling Xian is an array grandmaster. How old is he?"
"Not only is he an array grandmaster, but he is also one of the best out of all grandmasters."
"Yeah, this array only has array patterns but it was able to seal two eighth leveled cultivators. It is not hard to imagine how heaven-defying this array is. A normal grandmaster would not have the ability to set this up. "
Everyone exclaimed. Even as his opponent, they couldn't help but exclaim at Ling Xian's powerfulness.
"Everyone, now is not the time to talk about this person."
A boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old spoke up, causing everyone to shut up and not say anything else.
It was obvious that the child was highly respected. Or in other words, very capable.
Or else he wouldn't be able to shut up so many eighth leveled cultivators.
"Have you contacted the Ji Clan?" the child asked.
"Yes, we have array grandmasters, but grandmasters … we don't." An elder smiled bitterly.
"Hmmph, what's the use of array grandmasters?"
The child hissed, his face was so dark that it could drip water.
The Ning and Lian Clans had contacted all the forces on Planet Bei Dou and received the same answer: they have array grandmasters, but not grandmasters.
This meant if they want to save the man and others, they have to ask for Ling Xian's help.
"How about … we contact Ling Xian?" An elder tried to ask.
"What are you talking about?"
The child's expression was heavy, "Don't you know what contacting him means?"
Hearing this, everyone silenced.
This was obvious. Contacting Ling Xian was the same as admitting defeat. It was the same as losing all face.
"We cannot compromise! If we pay the ransom, the Ning and Lian Clans will become a laughingstock! "
"That's right, we can't lose face for our ancestors!"
"But if we don't compromise, are we going to let them be trapped here forever until they die of old age?"
"Two Eighth Realm cultivators and 30 outstanding juniors. This loss is too great."
Everyone began to speak one after another. They were divided into two factions. One side valued human lives, while the other side valued their reputation.
"The reason why Ling Xian didn't kill them is because he wants the Ning and Lian Clan to lose face. We cannot let him have his way."
"What about these people? We can't use brute force to break the formation, and we can't find a Great Grandmaster. What else can we do but compromise? "
Everyone argued endlessly, unable to reach a consensus.
It couldn't be helped. Both were too important, and it was really difficult to make a decision.
"All of you, shut up."
The boy scanned the crowd coldly and said, "I don't believe that no one can break this formation. Go and find them. Even if you have to dig three feet underground, find me a Great Grandmaster!"
…
"Have you heard? The Ning and Lian Families are currently searching the entire world for an array grandmaster. "
"Not only have I heard, I even know the reason. Rumor has it that Ling Xian used an array to trap the Ning and Lian Clans."
"That's fake, right? How can there be an array that even the Immortal Clans can't break?"
"It's definitely real. This is going to be a good show. If they can't break that array, then the Ning and Lian Clans will lose face."
Similar conversations arose all over the Planet of Bei Dou.
What could they do? The Ning and Lian Clans were far too loud. Asking around would reveal the whole story. There was no way to hide it.
Therefore, the whole story quickly spread across the Planet of Bei Dou.
At once, Ling Xian was the center of attention. Most people admired him.
Not everyone had the courage to go against the Immortal Clans. Not everyone had the ability to render the Immortal Clans helpless. This alone made Ling Xian worthy of respect!
However, nobody thought highly of him.
After all, they were Immortal Clans. There were two of them. Even the Holy Mountain of Xumi couldn't afford to offend them. How could a cultivator of the advanced stage of the seventh level survive?
Just as everyone was discussing, the Ning and Lian Clans finally found an array grandmaster.
This made the Ning and Lian Clans ecstatic. They were confident that this person could break the Immortal Trap.
However, the result made the Ning and Lian Clans fall into despair.
When this person saw the Immortal Trap, he was first stunned, then shocked, then excited, and finally sighed.
Cannot break it.
That was the last thing this person said to the Ning and Lian Clans. Then, he left without a trace.
At this moment, everyone from the Ning and Lian Clans were silenced. It was as if they had fallen into an endless abyss and could no longer see the light.
Even a grandmaster couldn't break this array. Other than compromising, what else could they do?
"I don't believe it. Keep looking!" The child didn't want to accept this result. Most people didn't either.
However, reality made them more and more hopeless.
Array grandmasters were not little cultivators that could be found everywhere. In fact, they were as rare as the nine sage bodies. To be able to find one was already God's blessing. It was impossible to find a second one!
"It's been three months. We have to make a decision."
An elder sighed. Glancing at his great-grandson trapped inside the Immortal Trap, he clenched his teeth, "I suggest compromising!"
"I second that!"
An old lady spoke up. Looking at her great-grandson, her heart ached.
Everyone else chimed in as well. Most of them agreed.
What could they do? Their descendant was trapped inside the array. How could they be cruel and let him die of old age?
"Dammit Ling Xian!"
The child clenched his teeth. He knew he couldn't compromise, but there was nothing he could do.
The reality was before everyone's eyes. Other than Ling Xian, nobody could break this array. At least not yet.
Therefore, in the end, the Ning and Lian Clans compromised and asked Ling Xian to meet at the Immortal Trap.
The moment the news got out, the entire Planet of Bei Dou boiled.
To put it nicely, the Ning and Lian Clans were compromising. To put it bluntly, they were admitting defeat!
When have immortal clans ever admitted defeat?
In everyone's memory, this has never happened. This was the first time!
"My god, the Ning and Lian Clans are admitting defeat. This is far too unbelievable."
"The undefeatable clans that have produced real immortals, the undisputed ruler of the Planet of Bei Dou, are lowering their heads to a seventh level cultivator. Who would believe this?"
"You can't say that. If Ling Xian didn't have a handle on them, why would the Ning and Lian Clans lower their heads?"
"That's still a skill. If you have the ability, go and grab a handle on the immortal clans."
Everyone was in awe. Even the monks from the Holy Mountain of Xumi were a little shaken.
Ling Xian wasn't surprised.
He had predicted that the Ning and Lian Clans wouldn't give up on the man. As long as they didn't give up, they had to lower their heads.
"It looks like they're lowering their heads, but in reality, they're waiting for me to walk right into their trap."
Ling Xian softly grinned. Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that the Ning and Lian Clans wouldn't truly compromise.
But it didn't matter. He had achieved his goal.
Right now, the Ning and Lian Clans had become a laughing stock. That was enough.
