Inside the Zhao Clan, inside the Demonic Fairy's room.
Ling Xian's expression was dark and his eyes were cold. Anyone could tell that he was angry.
All because the Demonic Fairy failed to acquire the inheritance.
Though Zhao Shikong was dead, there was still a ninth leveled cultivator in his faction. This person fought hard and promised to listen to the Zhao Clan Leader for a thousand years in exchange for the inheritance.
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian be angry?
"I am sorry. I didn't think things would turn out this way."
The Demonic Fairy was apologetic, "That Elder has been in isolation for a long time. I didn't think he would suddenly come out and promise to listen to the Clan Leader for a thousand years as a condition."
"Talking about this now is useless. The most important thing now is to figure out a way out of this."
Ling Xian's expression was cold and his head hurt.
He had used up all his tricks. To kill another ninth leveled cultivator was a fool's dream.
"I have no other choice. The Clan Leader has agreed."
The Demonic Fairy sighed, "To put it bluntly, I don't have enough power. If I was a ninth leveled cultivator, the Clan Leader would never agree."
"Sadly, you are not a ninth leveled cultivator." Ling Xian's gaze was deep. After thinking for a while, he came up with a difficult but only solution.
Steal.
He had no more tricks up his sleeves against ninth leveled cultivators. If he wanted to take back the inheritance, he had to take the risk.
Ling Xian looked at the Demonic Fairy in a serious manner, "I helped you get rid of Zhao Shikong. Now, it's your turn to help me."
"As long as I can do it, I will not say no." The Demonic Fairy nodded without hesitation.
She felt guilty. After all, they had discussed this before. Ling Xian was responsible for killing Zhao Shikong and she was responsible for getting the inheritance.
"I want the exact location of the inheritance and information about the guards." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. The worst thing to do was to steal. He had to figure out the number of guards and their capabilities before he made his move.
"You want to steal the inheritance?"
The Demonic Fairy was a little startled, "I cannot. To the Zhao Clan, the inheritance is as important as the Zhao Clan's treasury. It is heavily guarded and too dangerous."
"Now that things have come to this, I have no other choice but to take a risk."
Ling Xian softly sighed. Seeing the worry in the Demonic Fairy's eyes, he smiled. "Don't worry. Did you forget that I am good at stealing?"
"Although you are the Little Thief Sage whose name has shaken Zhige City, the people guarding the Land of Inheritance are not ordinary people either."
"As far as I know, there are a total of four people guarding the north, south, east and west."
"Although they are not Ninth Realm masters, they are still at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and their foundations are not weak either. They are the backbone of our Zhao Family."
"Most importantly, the Land of Inheritance is surrounded by countless talisman formations and treasures. There are offensive formations and scouting treasures, all to prevent people from sneaking in."
The Demonic Fairy's face was stern. "In other words, it is a trap. Even if it is a ninth leveled cultivator, they cannot sneak into the place of inheritance, let alone take it away."
"It sure is troublesome." Ling Xian frowned, feeling a headache coming on.
The four peak Transcendent Realm Cultivators were nothing, and the Talisman Array was also nothing. No matter how strong they were, they posed no threat to him.
However, scouting treasures were more troublesome. If he is not careful, he will be discovered.
"Give up on that thought. The moment you are discovered, the Elder will arrive immediately. No matter how good your thieving skills are, it will be useless."
The Demonic Fairy advised, "I don't want you to die."
"I am not going to die either."
Ling Xian's eyes were dark, "You don't understand the importance of the Land of Inheritance. Even if I don't have much confidence, I will still try."
"I really don't understand. But I do know that no matter how important it is, it cannot be compared to your life."
The Demonic Fairy stared at Ling Xian and said, "If you are discovered, no matter how much I beg, I cannot save you."
"You have that little confidence in me?"
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Before he acquired the Immortal of Thief's true inheritance, he was able to steal the Cracked Sky Ray from the Yu Clan and escape unscathed.
Now that he has acquired the Immortal of Thief's true inheritance, why would he be afraid?
Though the reason he was able to steal the Cracked Sky Ray was because the Divine Ancestor's expedition to the 10 forbidden areas attracted everyone's attention, now that he has acquired the Immortal of Thief's true inheritance, even if he cannot steal the Land of Inheritance, he has the confidence to leave easily.
"I know very well how strong the defenses of the Land of Inheritance are. Even if your thieving skills are heaven-defying and you can hide from those four people, you cannot hide from the scouting treasures."
The Demonic Fairy sighed, "Oh well, if I don't explain myself, you will not give up."
"Based on your tone, it sounds like there is something even more terrifying." Ling Xian frowned.
"That's right. The Zhao Clan has a treasure named the Mirror of Reflection."
"This treasure monitors the entire Clan. No matter who it is, as long as they step into the Zhao Clan's territory, they will be noticed by the spirit."
"Especially outsiders, or in other words, people without the Zhao Clan's bloodline."
"As long as they do not harm the Zhao Clan, they will be fine. But if they do anything to harm the Zhao Clan, the Mirror of Reflection will descend and imprison them."
"Of course, this is an exaggeration. There is no way it can imprison a God. But to imprison a cultivator of the Undying Realm, it is a piece of cake."
The Demonic Fairy looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner, "Now, do you still insist?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent.
He didn't think the Zhao Clan would have such a mysterious treasure.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that as long as this treasure operates normally, there is no chance for him to acquire the Land of Inheritance.
"How troublesome." Ling Xian sighed helplessly, feeling a headache coming on.
The defense of the Land of Inheritance was already troublesome enough. Now that there was the Mirror of Reflection, it was truly troublesome.
"Give it up, it's impossible."
The Demonic Fairy softly sighed and said apologetically, "I am sorry, I did not keep my promise."
"It's not your fault. It's our fault for taking things for granted." Ling Xian sighed.
The Land of Inheritance was extremely important to him, and it was important to the Zhao Clan as well. Even if the Elder didn't come out of isolation and the Land of Inheritance was acquired by the Clan Leader, there was no way the Demonic Fairy's father would hand it over.
"Let me think of something else. You cannot act rashly," the Demonic Fairy said in a low voice.
"Your father already made an agreement with the Elder. I have no other choice but to steal it." Ling Xian's gaze turned determined.
"You didn't hear what I said just now?" The Demonic Fairy frowned.
"I heard. But I have no other choice."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Plus, the Mirror of Reflection isn't necessarily a problem."
"Why not? Is there a problem with my ability to express myself, or is there a problem with your ability to understand? "
The Demonic Fairy laughed from anger, "The Mirror of Reflection monitors everyone in the Zhao Clan's territory. Even the slightest movement cannot be hidden from its spiritual sense!"
"I know. But that is under the condition that the Mirror of Reflection is operating normally."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, "If I let it sleep for a while, will it still be able to monitor me?"
Hearing this, the Demonic Fairy was a little startled. Then, she laughed out of anger.
The Mirror of Reflection was not a treasure, but it was extremely close to it. It was the best treasure in the City of Zhi Ge. Even the House of the Ten Thousand Saints coveted it.
How could such a precious treasure be put into hibernation just because they wanted it to?
