"I am here to save you."
Ling Xian looked at everyone with a smile like he was looking at a fat sheep.
"Bullsh * t! You damned bastard! "
"Ling Xian, you will die a horrible death!"
"One day, I will kill you. Even if I become a ghost, I will not forgive you!"
Everyone's hair stood up in anger as they stared deadly at Ling Xian as if they could spit out fire.
Ling Xian was not angry at this.
His gaze swept across the crowd, and with just one sentence, everyone shut their mouths.
"If you continue to curse, I will leave. You can stay here forever."
At this, the entire place silenced.
Everyone felt like their throats were being strangled and they couldn't say a word.
Though they haven't been imprisoned for long, they have had enough of this caged life. Therefore, they crave freedom more than anything.
Because of this, they fell into silence and no longer dared to curse at Ling Xian.
"I heard that the Ning and Lian Clans found an array grandmaster. Sadly, they cannot break this array."
"I don't know what happened after that. But since you are still here, it means the Ning and Lian Clans have no solution."
"In other words, I am the only one who can get you out."
Ling Xian smiled, warm and bright.
However, in everyone's eyes, he was extremely despicable. They wanted to rip off his entire face.
However, no one could refute him.
Just like Ling Xian said, the Ning and Lian Clans had no solution. Or else why would they still be here?
"Calm down. After all, we know each other. Don't scream and kill each other every time we meet." Ling Xian grinned.
"Less bullsh * t. State your terms," the middle-aged man said coldly.
"My terms are not high. 50 million spiritual stones of high quality."
Ling Xian grinned, "If you can give it to me, then I will dispel this array."
"You are asking for too much!" The middle-aged man suppressed his anger but found it hard to hide his anger.
"I don't think that is too much."
Ling Xian's smile did not diminish, "Don't forget, the spiritual stones I asked for back then were in the tens."
"But we cannot give it to you."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, "Unless you let me contact my clan."
"No. If the Ning and Lian Clans find out, then this deal will be ruined."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "I don't believe that all of you combined have less than 50 million spiritual stones."
"Ling Xian, do not cross the line." The middle-aged man's teeth were about to shatter.
"Is it too much?"
Ling Xian glared at the man, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Back then, if you didn't have the intention to kill me, why would you have fallen into the array?"
"Despicable scum!"
The middle-aged man's lungs were about to explode, and so were the others.
However, no one could say anything.
Honestly speaking, Ling Xian didn't do anything wrong and he didn't cross the line. Everything was their own fault.
"I'll give you time to consider, but don't take too long."
Ling Xian said emotionlessly, "My patience has its limits."
Hearing this, everyone became even more silent. They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Though this was a very embarrassing thing to do, they really couldn't stand living like this. Therefore, they all nodded their heads, indicating that they were willing to exchange spiritual stones for their freedom.
"Looks like the taste of not having freedom has worn away your arrogance."
Ling Xian smiled, "Take out your spiritual stones. I don't want any more, and I don't want any less."
"Hmmph."
The middle-aged man slapped his storage pouch and spiritual stones of high quality appeared. Roughly estimating, there were at least 2,000 of them.
Everyone else followed suit and took out their spiritual stones, meeting Ling Xian's requirements.
"Very good."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, "Take out your spiritual stones."
"Let us out first," the middle-aged man said coldly.
"Do you think I am an idiot? If I let you out first, I might not even be able to keep my life, let alone the spiritual stones. "
Ling Xian laughed. The man and the elder were of the eighth level. Even though he was at the peak of the seventh level and had surpassed the undefeatable realm, he could not defend against them.
"What if you don't keep your promise?" The middle-aged man snickered.
"First of all, I am the one in control. You have no right to bargain with me."
"Second of all, I won't go against my principles for 50 million spiritual stones."
Ling Xian wiped off his smile and said softly, "Give me the spiritual stones. You have no choice."
"Dammit!"
The middle-aged man's hands tightened into fists. His nails dug deep into his palms.
Everyone else was shaking from anger and smoke was coming out of their ears.
But Ling Xian was right. They had no right to bargain.
"My patience has a limit. You better make up your mind before I change my mind."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. He was certain that he had these people.
The Ning and Lian Clans had no other choice. They couldn't endure days without freedom, so why would they reject?
"You win."
The middle-aged man's teeth were itching from anger but he could only give in.
Then, he flapped around his sleeve and threw 20 million spiritual stones to Ling Xian.
Everyone else did the same.
Seeing this, Ling Xian called out and activated the Immortal Trap. After the 50 million spiritual stones flew out, he closed it again.
Everything happened in an instant. Though the middle-aged man and the elder noticed it, they couldn't react in time.
"Not bad, they are all spiritual stones of high quality."
Glancing at the mountain of spiritual stones, Ling Xian grinned and fed it to the Star Orbit.
In the next second, the Star Path shined brightly and returned to its usual brightness.
"Now, can you let us out?" The middle-aged man's expression was heavy.
"Not yet."
Ling Xian looked at the man and the elder with a smile, "You are powerhouses of the eighth level. If I let you out, only death awaits me."
"You want to go back on your words?" The middle-aged man's eyes were full of killer's intent.
"Though I am not a man of my words, I am a man of my words. I will not go back on my words."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, "However, I cannot let you out now. Don't worry, after I leave, I will disperse the array."
Then, ignoring everyone's angry stares, he floated away like an immortal.
Two hours later, Ling Xian appeared on top of a tall mountain a thousand miles away. Then, he dispersed the Immortal Trap.
He was the one who set this array and it only had runes. Therefore, no matter where he was, he could disperse it with a thought.
"The world is about to change again."
Ling Xian mumbled. He knew that when the man and them come out, they will send news of his return back to their clans.
When that happens, the wind will blow and the clouds will gather.
…..
The moment the Immortal Trap disappeared, everyone was stunned. Then, hot tears filled their eyes and they screamed into the sky.
The taste of losing their freedom was very painful. Now that they could see the light of day again, why wouldn't they be excited?
They were all dancing and cheering. If anyone else was here, they would think they were a bunch of crazy people.
After some time, everyone calmed down. Remembering Ling Xian's despicable smile, they couldn't help but be enraged.
"Dammit Ling Xian, if I don't get my revenge, I am not human!"
The middle-aged man was furious. Especially after thinking about how he lost face again, he gritted his teeth.
Then, he sent news of Ling Xian's return back to his clan and shocked the entire Bei Dou.
