In the middle of the purple bamboo forest, Chu Zhong Tian’s expression was serious. The way he spoke was even more powerful and stern.
What he had said had made Ling Xian feel warm. He gave Chu Zhong Tian a meaningful look and an idea was born in his head.
Rule the City of Sin.
Yes, take the entire City of Sin as his own.
Before his eyes, all three controlling forces’ leaders have died. This meant the three controlling forces were about to cease to exist as well.
In the entire City of Sin, there was now no completion leveled cultivator. Even if there was one, who was strong enough to be Ling Xian’s opponent?
Therefore, who could be the ruler of the City of Sin other than his truly?
Truthfully, the first time the Mu Clan ancestor tried to set Ling Xian up, he had ignited Ling Xian’s desire to rule the City of Sin. First, it would allow him to have a colony of his own in Yuezhou, which would give him much convenience in the future.
Second, there are ageless secrets that belong to this ancient city. He hasn’t forgotten about his initial arrival and the strange reactions the city had.
Therefore, this idea formed in Ling Xian’s head a while ago. It was just that he was determined to enter the Shang Qing Sect and therefore, he has to leave the City of Sin. He wouldn’t be able to take care of both goals at once, thus, he gave up this plan.
Right now however, Chu Zhong Tian had vowed to heavens and said he was willing to do anything for Ling Xian. This helped generate flexibility for Ling Xian.
Leaving aside how Chu Zhong Tian was as a person, his completion capability alone was enough to control the entire City of Sin. More importantly, he had just vowed to the Gods, which meant he will never betray Ling Xian.
Therefore, Ling Xian naturally had the idea of ruling over the City of Sin.
“Chu Zhong Tian, let me ask you one more time, do you mean it when you say you are willing to do anything for me?” Ling Xian’s expression turned serious and he asked in a low voice.
Chu Zhong Tian’s expression was stern as well. The way he looked at Ling Xian composed of pure appreciation and respect. He said, “Your Excellency, I have lived the first half of my life in hatred. Today, you allowed me to avenge for my clan. Therefore, the second half of my life, I will live it for you.”
Live the second half of my life for you!
Such a short statement once again moved Ling Xian. He could feel the truth and honesty in that statement. It was obvious that Chu Zhong Tian meant what he said, which made Ling Xian extremely happy. he couldn’t believe his actions today acquired the loyalty of a completion leveled cultivator.
To know that every single completion leveled cultivator in the Taoism community has bones of arrogance and would normally never listen to anyone. To completely acquire a completion leveled cultivator as a follower, and to have the cultivator voluntarily agree to it, was a task that was harder than climbing the heavens!
Yet before everyone’s eyes, Chu Zhong Tian had vowed to the Gods that he was now a subordinate of Ling Xian’s. How could Ling Xian not be excited? As much as he exclaimed, he was also ecstatic.
To have a completion leveled servant, who wouldn’t be overjoyed!
“Well, yes, you have vowed to the heavens, so you have no room for regrets.”
Ling Xian softly beamed. “Then just follow me from now on. Don’t worry, I won’t treat you like you’re a slave.”
“I trust you,” Chu Zhong Tian softly smiled, his face was still full of respect and appreciation, “Even if you do treat me like a servant, I have no complaints. After all, I have handed over my life to you. No matter what you want me to do, it’s okay with me.”
“I actually do have a task I want you to complete.” The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up. As Chu Zhong Tian revealed his curiosity, Ling Xian’s gaze shifted towards the empty field before him. “Look where this is.”
“Where’s what?”
Chu Zhong Tian was confused. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “Your Excellency, you are talking about the City of Sin?”
“Smart.”
Ling Xian beamed, and his eyes flashed with passion, “This ancient city has experienced much hardship throughout its history and has many hidden secrets. To have control over this city will induce much jealousy amongst the cultivators.”
“That’s right. The reason why the three controlling forces were able to advance and develop themselves to this extent was because one, they had completion leveled cultivators, and two, they knew everything about the city.”
Chu Zhong Tian nodded, “No matter how poor the City of Sin is to the outsiders, it is still a city with a high population. As long as there are humans, there are fights for rights and riches.”
“You are completely correct.”
The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up as he gazed afar. “Now, tell me again, what is this land before you?”
“The City of Sin,” Chu Zhong Tian answered.
“Wrong.”
Ling Xian’s white robe was like snow and his black hair was like ink. He tiptoed on top of the bamboo leaf and looked just like a God who was riding above the clouds.
“It is my City of Sin.”
His voice trailed off, sounding extremely arrogant.
Your City of Sin?
When did this city become yours?
Chu Zhong Tian was startled but very quickly, he had a realization. Ling Xian was thinking of taking control of the City of Sin. This made him fall into disbelief but at the same time, it was completely within reason.
What he couldn’t believe was that this was an entire city. Not anyone can just obtain ownership over it.
It was reasonable as well because the powerhouses who were once responsible for this place have all died. In the entire City of Sin, who had the right to fight against Ling Xian for the right to control this place?
In other words, other than him, who had the right to be the controller of the City of Sin?
“What is it? Are you surprised at my decision?” Ling Xian’s expression was calm. It was as if the decision he just made was as simple as deciding what he wanted for dinner.
“To be honest, I am surprised. After all, this is the City of Sin.” Chu Zhong Tian bitterly smiled. “But when I think about it carefully, I realize that with your capabilities, controlling this city is very reasonable.”
“Actually, in the beginning, I had no intention of taking over this city. Because I still have business to attend to and I cannot do that and take care of this city at the same time.”
Ling Xian smiled and looked at Chu Zhong Tian. “However, after you made your vow, I had an idea.”
Chu Zhong Tian froze and said in awe, “Are you thinking of having me be your representative and take charge of the city?”
“That’s right. All three leaders of the controlling forces have died. The smaller forces are nothing to worry about.”
Ling Xian softly nodded and grinned. “You are of the completion level. If you can strengthen up a little, you will be able to gain the respect of the other smaller forces. That would be the same as you taking charge of the city.”
“It is easier said than done. I…” Chu Zhong Tian appeared hesitant. He didn’t think he had the abilities to shoulder such a heavy burden.
“I also have no experience with taking care of a city. But I understand one thing.”
Ling Xian recognized his hesitation and smiled. “No matter what the situation is, if you don’t try and do it, there are no possibilities. If you try, even if you fail, it will be a great life experience.”
Chu Zhong Tian was silent for a while before agreeing, “You are right. I understand.”
“If you understand, then go on and show me your actions.” Ling Xian softly smiled, “Don’t worry, even if you fail, I will be behind you, supporting you. What are you afraid of?”
“Yes, I will do my very best and give it my all to achieve your request.” Chu Zhong Tian formed a fist and cupped it with his another hand as he spoke with great determination.
“Then go on your way and don’t disappoint me.” Ling Xian waved his hand, indicating that Chu Tian Zhong could leave now.
Hearing this, Chu Zhong Tian nodded and began to fly away.
He vowed silently to himself that he will accomplish this task and he will not disappoint Ling Xian!
