The giant Sun was hanging high in the sky. It was noon.
Ling Xian and Huang Er were walking slowly on the busy street.
When he arrived at a secluded alley, Ling Xian suddenly stopped his steps. Then, a statement that was calm yet cold slowly emerged.
"You have been following me for a while. Are you not planning on coming out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, no one answered. The entire place was silent. Only Huang Er's confused gaze remained.
Seeing this, Ling Xian's expression turned cold, "If you don't plan on coming out, then don't blame me for making a move."
"It is no wonder you are a powerhouse that even the Mu Clan is afraid of. You sure are sensitive."
A hoarse voice suddenly arose. Then, a purple round plate appeared, emitting a mysterious amount of energy that engulfed the entire alley.
Then, the man wearing a loose black robe slowly walked over. Every step he took, his Qi intensified. When he was 10 steps away from Ling Xian, his Qi was already at the beginning stage of the completion level.
"A treasure with the ability to seal. A cultivator of the beginning stage of the completion level." Ling Xian softly smiled. His expression was calm and unfazed.
Seeing how calm Ling Xian was and not at all flustered, the man in black frowned, "You sure are calm at such a young age. It's just that this place has been sealed by my treasure. Aren't you afraid? "
"Why would I be afraid?"
Ling Xian chuckled, "It's merely an imprisonment treasure. I don't think much of it."
"You sure are confident." The man in black's voice was cold. Traces of killer's intent seeped out of him and dropped the temperature in the room.
However, Ling Xian remained calm and unfazed, "You are here for the Fire Taming Pearl?"
"That's right." The man in black nodded, "But I have another reason for finding you."
"Oh? Tell me about it. "Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, his expression was playful.
"My first reason is that if you are no opponent of mine, then I will take the Fire Taming Pearl." The man in black spoke slowly, "If I am no opponent of yours, then I want to ally with you and discuss our plans."
"You sure are an interesting person."
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. He didn't think this person would have two reasons for finding him. If he could win, he would take the treasure. If he couldn't, he would join forces. This was the first time he had seen such an interesting person.
"Same here. I also think you're very interesting," the black-robed man said lightly.
"This is the first time I have met someone as interesting as you. Oh well, since you have no intention to kill me, then I will exchange a few moves with you." Ling Xian softly grinned, feeling too lazy to waste any more time with this person.
"Hmph, bring it on then."
The black-robed man snorted coldly and said, "Don't blame me for not warning you. My confinement treasure is extremely profound. Under its confinement magnetic field, you'll be suppressed to the same level as me. As for me, I have never lost to someone of the same level. "
"I can feel it. This object has the ability to suppress the opponent's cultivation level." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he uttered out an arrogant statement.
"However, while it can suppress others, it cannot suppress me."
After those words, Ling Xian marched forward one step. A terrifying amount of Qi rolled out of him and shook up the entire space.
Instantly, the man in the black robe's expression changed drastically. His exposed eyes were full of shock and horror.
Shock was because he didn't think Ling Xian's capabilities would be this terrifying. He had reached the advanced stage of the completion level. Shock was because he didn't think Ling Xian would be unaffected by the confinement and his capabilities were not affected at all.
"Impossible. Under the effect of my treasure, how can you not be suppressed to the same level as me?" The man in the black robe continued to scream, full of disbelief.
"I told you, your treasure cannot suppress me." Ling Xian spoke softly. In a flash, he reappeared before the man in the black robe and threw a punch.
HOMMMM!
An infinite amount of Qi shook the area. The man in the black robe's expression changed again. He knew very well how terrifying this punch was. Therefore, he didn't dare to be reckless and quickly used all his strength to defend.
Sadly, the gap between him and Ling Xian was far too big. Even if he was the same level as Ling Xian, he wouldn't be an opponent of Ling Xian's.
Therefore, when the man in the black robe made contact with the punch, he immediately puked out blood and flung out.
The confinement magnetic field around him crumbled as well.
It was obvious that the winner and loser had been determined. Within seconds, the winner and loser had been determined.
This made the man in the black robe full of bitterness. He didn't think Ling Xian's capabilities would be this terrifying. Very quickly, however, the bitterness he felt turned into joy.
Compared to a Fire Taming Pearl, he was more willing to find a powerful ally.
"You are interesting, but capabilities are boring." Ling Xian shook his head in disappointment, "Seeing that you didn't want to kill me, I won't kill you. Leave quickly."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked forward.
Seeing that Ling Xian was about to leave, the man in the black robe panicked. Ignoring his own injuries, he called out, "Your excellency, please wait."
"What else do you want?" Ling Xian didn't even turn around.
"I told you, if I cannot defeat you, then I will discuss a plan with you. Don't you want to hear what I have to say?" The man in the black robe spoke in a hurry. His tone subconsciously revealed his desire.
It was because he heard this desire that Ling Xian frowned. He knew that this person had a favor to ask of him. If this was any other time, he would've stopped and listened.
But before his eyes, this person had locked down this place and was trying to steal the Fire Taming Pearl. It was already very generous of him to not kill this person. Why would he accept this person's suggestion?
Therefore, he teasingly smiled and softly uttered out three words.
"Not interested."
At this, the man in the black robe almost puked out blood. However, he understood that he was the one who provoked him first. Ling Xian was already being merciful by not killing him.
He also knew very well that it wasn't that Ling Xian didn't want to listen, it was that he was waiting for him to speak first.
"What a young Heaven's Favorite. Not only is he capable, but his mentality is also so mature." The man in the black robe silently sighed. He took off his bamboo hat and revealed a rather handsome face.
He was around 40 years old. His temples were grey and there were several wrinkles on his face. However, his black eyes were extremely bright. It was just that right now, they were flickering with helplessness.
"Your excellency, if I am not wrong, you and the Mu Clan are enemies. I also have a blood feud with the Mu Clan. Therefore, I think there is a possibility that we can work together. "
Hearing this, Ling Xian stopped his footsteps but didn't turn around. He smiled, "I think you forgot about what happened at the auction. The Mu Clan has already given me three treasures as compensation. There is no more hatred between us."
"I don't think you understand the Mu Clan's style. Even if they are apologizing to you, it is merely a temporary gesture. Who knows if one day, the Mu Clan will turn against you. And it will be when you are the most relaxed. "
Hatred flashed across the middle aged man's face. "Back then, I was the victim of them. So please, you must believe me."
Ling Xian revealed a faint smile. What he said was merely to test this person. Now that he sensed this person's genuine anger, Ling Xian was certain that this person and the Mu Clan really did hate each other.
"If you tell me in detail what happened between you and the Mu Clan, then maybe I will consider it."
Grinning, Ling Xian turned around and stared straight at this person. His gaze was as sharp as a sword.
Under the piercing stare, the middle aged man subconsciously lowered his head and fell into silence.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and told them about the grievances he had with the Mu Clan.
Just like most things in this world, this story was very old fashioned. It turned out that this person's name was Chu Yun Tian. He was a descendant of the Chu Clan.
A hundred years ago, the Chu Clan was the only ruler of the City of Sin.
Then, because they mistakenly trusted the Mu Clan's ancestor, they were destroyed by him and two other forces. Only Chu Zhong Tian managed to escape.
This person didn't reveal the exact details, and Ling Xian didn't want to know. He only needed to know the general situation.
"In other words, you and the Mu Clan, or the three controlling forces, will never stop fighting." Ling Xian grinned.
"That's right."
Chu Zhong Tian recalled the painful past, and the anger in his heart was ignited. He said with a murderous look, "The three great forces destroyed my Chu Clan and killed more than a hundred people in my clan. If I don't take revenge for this, I am not a man!"
"Then we do have a common goal. However, cooperation is not only about a common goal." Ling Xian grinned, "We also need to have the same capabilities. I don't need to say that. Your capabilities are of no help to me."
Chu Zhong Tian's face reddened, knowing that Ling Xian was right. He couldn't help but feel a little awkward. After thinking about it, he said slowly, "Your excellency, even though my capabilities are of no help, I know very well about the Mu Clan."
"Oh?"
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. He was worried that he couldn't figure out the Mu Clan's capabilities, "Tell me about it. If you do a good job, I might accept your proposal."
Chu Zhong Tian was ecstatic, "Back then, the Mu Clan's ancestor allied with two other completion levelled powerhouses. They are the ones who control the two controlling forces today. The three of them destroyed my Chu Clan and acquired all of my treasures. Out of all my treasures, three of them are the most valuable. "
"If I am not wrong, the Mu Clan took a puppet. This puppet has the capabilities of the peak of the completion level and is extremely dominating."
Chu Zhong Tian spoke softly, "The only weakness is that it can only attack within the Clan's territory and cannot leave. I think this is the Mu Clan's biggest advantage. "
"A puppet that has the capabilities of the peak of the completion level but cannot leave." Ling Xian frowned slightly. The confusion in his heart was finally gone.
He was originally a little confused as to why the Mu Clan was willing to swallow the humiliation and not make a move right away. Instead, they used a small trick to plot against him. Now that he heard Chu Zhong Tian's words, everything made sense.
Because of their capabilities, the Mu Clan had to swallow the humiliation. It was because they had the capabilities of a completion levelled cultivator that the Mu Clan dared to provoke Ling Xian.
"What do you think? I wonder if you are willing to form an alliance with me?" Chu Zhong Tian stared at Ling Xian, his eyes full of anticipation.
"About that, let me solve the problem in front of me first." Ling Xian grinned and marched forward in giant steps.
The problem he was referring to was the trap of the three treasures.
That was the most important thing.
