The next morning, in the mountain behind the Mu Clan's base, inside a purple bamboo forest.
Three elders were sitting on top of a praying mat. Every single one of them was emitting a Qi that was as deep as the ocean – extremely terrifying.
One of the grey-haired elders had his eyes tightly shut. His white robe was fluttering in the wind, making him look like an immortal.
This person was the Mu Clan ancestor who tried to harm Ling Xian multiple times.
Next to him, an elder wearing a black robe was sitting there. Like a giant mountain, he was heavy and heavy, exuding terrifying Qi.
This person was the ancestor of the Zhao Clan, one of the three controlling forces.
The last person was wearing a gold robe and had a cold expression. Though his hair was white, he gave off the vibe of a lion.
It was the leader of the Black Shark Clan.
A few decades ago, there was only one ruler in the City of Sin – the Chu Clan.
However, after the three of them arrived at the city, everything changed. The three of them joined hands and destroyed the Chu Clan. Then, they divided up the Chu Clan's assets and created the three controlling forces.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, the three of them were comrades.
Therefore, today, the Mu Clan ancestor invited the two of them here to discuss the plan to kill Ling Xian.
"You two, the completion leveled cultivator who suddenly appeared has been tricked by the traps I set on the three treasures. I am sure he has lost his cultivation by now."
The Mu Clan ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two rays of light that pierced through the void.
The Zhao Clan ancestor also opened his eyes and said softly, "How are you so sure that he fell for your trap?"
"That's right. Don't forget, this person even dodged the poison from the Poisonous Dragon Scorpion." The leader of the Black Shark Clan spoke slowly.
"Perhaps he can dodge the poison from the Technique of the Physical Body and the Fire Taming Pearl. But he cannot dodge the inhibition spell on the dragon's scale. I am confident of that." The Mu Clan ancestor grinned, his face full of confidence.
It was obvious that he was certain that Ling Xian was going to fall for his trap.
"Though I have never met him, I know that any completion leveled cultivator is not easy to deal with. I still don't believe that you can trick him. "The Zhao Clan ancestor shook his head.
Hearing this, the Mu Clan ancestor was not angry. He faintly smiled and said, "Think about it. If he didn't fall into our trap, why would he be so calm this past month? With his overbearing personality, how could he not come looking for me after finding out that I plotted against him? He must have fallen into my trap and lost the ability to find me. "
The Zhao Clan's ancestor and the Black Shark Sect's leader frowned. They had to admit that the Mu Clan's ancestor's words made sense.
Though they have never met Ling Xian, based on what happened at the auction, it wasn't hard to guess that Ling Xian wasn't someone to be messed with. If he saw that there were traps on the three treasures and that he wasn't plotted against, he would definitely come looking for them.
But after a month, it was as if Ling Xian had evaporated into thin air. There was no news of him. Didn't this precisely prove that he'd been schemed against by these three treasures?
Therefore, the Zhao Clan ancestor and the leader of the Black Slayer Clan were silent for a while. In the end, they believed the Mu Clan ancestor's judgment.
"You sure are generous. Ignoring the Technique of the Physical Body and the Fire Taming Pearl, that dragon scale alone is a priceless treasure." The Zhao Clan ancestor softly sighed, "And you, you were willing to set a trap on those treasures and gift them to that person. How courageous of you."
"Also, you made the Mu Clan Leader publicly apologize in front of everyone. He did it after being slapped in the face. This has completely destroyed the Mu Clan's reputation." The elder in gold sighed as well. Even with his arrogant mentality, he couldn't help but admire the Mu Clan.
To swallow the humiliation and take out treasures to apologize was not something normal people could do.
"You are flattering me."
The Mu Clan ancestor softly grinned, "What is this little humiliation? As long as we can kill this person, then all the humiliation will be washed away and the three treasures will be returned to their rightful owners. "
"Haha, that's true."
The Zhao Clan ancestor laughed out loud and teased, "Not only the three treasures, but all the treasures on that person. A completion leveled cultivator's wealth must be rich. "
"Therefore, the reason I called you here today is to discuss with you whether or not it is time to make a move against this person." The Mu Clan ancestor's eyes flashed with killer's intent.
Although his words were spoken in a relaxed manner, how could he swallow that humiliation so easily? Naturally, he hated Ling Xian to the bone.
He had forgotten that if he didn't provoke Ling Xian, he wouldn't have been humiliated like this.
"Brother Mu, you are still as cautious as ever." The Zhao Clan ancestor grinned, "Even after confirming that person has been ambushed, you are still cautious and unwilling to fight him alone."
"You old fox." The leader of the Black Shark Sect uttered out three words.
Hearing this, the Mu Clan ancestor was not embarrassed at all. He laughed out loud, "It's not that I am being cautious. It's just that the three of us are of the same branch. If something good happens, then we should share it."
"I think we should share the risk." The Zhao Clan ancestor snickered, feeling too lazy to argue with the Mu Clan ancestor, "I suggest we wait a little longer and see if this person has fallen into your trap."
"I suggest we make our move now. If we miss a good opportunity, then it will be too late for regrets."
The Mu Clan ancestor spoke softly, "Don't forget, the reason why the three controlling forces have been able to survive until now is not because we are powerful. It's because every time a completion leveled cultivator enters the City of Sin, we have to kill them with lightning speed in case something happens that we cannot control. "
At those words, the Zhao Clan ancestor and the leader of the Black Shark Sect fell into silence.
After all these years, it wasn't that no completion leveled cultivators had entered the City of Sin. It was that every single one of them had been killed by the three of them.
For one, completion leveled cultivators are wealthy and have many treasures. For two, it was to ensure that the three controlling forces' dominating position would not be shaken.
Therefore, every time a completion leveled cultivator appeared in the City of Sin, the three clans would discuss. Either they would kill their way to their door, or they would ambush them. All in all, they had to kill the person.
This was also why the moment Ling Xian entered the city, he was ambushed by the Mu Clan.
"You two, what else is there to think about?"
The Mu Clan ancestor revealed a faint smile and continued, "This person has fallen into our trap. He must be very weak right now. If we make our move now, we can easily kill you. When that happens, not only will we be able to protect our position as the three controlling forces, but we will also be able to acquire his treasures. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? "
"That's right, Brother Mu, you are right. I agree to this." The Zhao Clan ancestor said after a moment of silence.
The elder in gold chimed in as well and snickered, "I agree as well. If you want to blame someone, blame that person for coming to the City of Sin. He deserves to be unlucky."
"Haha, you are right. He deserves to be unlucky!"
The Mu Clan ancestor and the Zhao Clan ancestor laughed in unison. Their tone was full of arrogance.
To actively kill someone and not feel guilty. Instead, they blame the person for being unlucky. How dominating was this?
How deserving of death was this?
Just as the three completion leveled cultivators were laughing out loud and were about to discuss when to make a move against Ling Xian, a calm statement that was full of killer's intent entered their ears, changing their expressions.
"You deserve to die. Let me, Ling Xian, send you on your way."
