The City of Sin was the most chaotic place in Yuezhou.

At this place, there wasn’t a single moment when there wasn’t a crime going on. Stealing and killing happened on the daily basis and were not considered news.

Normally, what Ling Xian did at the entrance of the city would at most surprise people for a short while rather than creating a giant wave of shock among them. What made his name known across this City in such a short period of time was because of his cultivation level.

One short hiss made more than 10 foundation leveled cultivators puke out blood. This dominating capabilities meant he was, at the very least, a completion leveled powerhouse!

Completion leveled!

To the City of Sin, this level of cultivation indicated an unreachable height and absolute power!

In the entire City of Sin, there were only three completion leveled cultivators in total. But now another one suddenly emerged. How could everyone not feel shocked?

The most astounded were, without a doubt, the three controlling forces of the City of Sin.

These three controlling forces had been dominating this piece of land for many years. They had divided this place into three chunks a long time ago and does not allow anyone to take a sliver.

If Ling Xian should have just been a foundation leveled cultivator, then they wouldn’t give him a second look. However, he was a completion leveled powerhouse.

What did a powerhouse of this level indicate? The three controlling forces knew this best. The reason why they could control the City of Sin was because each one of the three forces had a completion leveled cultivator!

Right now, another completion leveled cultivator suddenly appeared in this city. This meant a person who could fight against them had appeared. In other words, if Ling Xian had the intention of intruding the current balance of power in the City of Sin, then one of these leaders might lose their seat.

Thus, the three Supreme Headmasters of the three controlling forces were somewhat worried. They were terrified that Ling Xian would disrupt the current status of the City of Sin.

Therefore, after everyone learned this news, the three controlling forces converged and discussed how and what approach they should take to treat Ling Xian, this powerful cultivator who emerged out of nowhere.

It might feel too early to discuss this matter since Ling Xian had just stepped into the City of Sin and it wasn’t clear what his intention was. However, against a completion leveled cultivator with an unknown background, the three controlling forces didn’t dare to be reckless and decided to take preventive measures.

While all three controlling forces were discussing Ling Xian, some smaller forces were also talking about him. However, different than the rulers who were acting out of caution, these smaller forces were attempting to figure out ways to please him.

After all, if one could befriend a completion leveled cultivator, then one could get benefits for the rest of his life.

Because of all these reasons, every single person with some kind of power inside the City of Sin was discussing and talking about Ling Xian. Since his initial arrival, those people began to think how they should treat him.

What was this called?

Entering the Sin City caused an uproar in all directions!

To have created such a storm upon arrival, how unbelievable was this?!

….

Just as the entire City of Sin was being pushed by this current, Ling Xian learned from Huang Er about how this land was divided up among the controlling forces.

There was no need to speak much about the smaller powerful forces. As for the top power of the City of Sin, there were three of them. They were the Mu Clan, Zhao Clan, and the Black Shark Sect.

Every single force had a completion leveled powerhouse who was being treated like G.o.d. They peered down onto the City of Sin and split up the resources of this land into three equal parts.

Many many years ago, these controlling forces had dominated the City of Sin. After many years of development, they had gained much riches and resources to back up their Clans, to a point where n.o.body else could step in and change it.

In other words, the City of Sin was under the absolute control of these three controlling forces.

“So you are basically saying that everything that goes on inside the City of Sin is up to the three controlling forces.”

Inside the brightly lit room, Ling Xian sat comfortably on a red wooden chair and sipped on his tea.

In front of him, Huang Er was crouching down a little with a pleasant smile on his face. His expressive face was similar to a slave’s, a slave who was doing whatever he could to please the Master.

“That’s right. Inside the City of Sin, n.o.body dares to provoke the three powerful characters.” A rush of respect flashed across Huang Er’s face.

Inside the City of Sin, very few people could remain calm and natural when the three controlling forces were mentioned.

“Other than those three, are there any other force that’s worthy of my attention?” Ling Xian put down the tea cup in his hand and asked.

Huang Er smiled with respect, “There are none. I also believe that, with your capabilities, there is no need to pay attention to the small forces.”

Ling Xian softly grinned and did not comment.

Just like Huang Er said, with his capabilities today, he really could just ignore the weaker forces. Reality was that even if all the weaker forces joined their hands, they could not possibly defeat him.

“However…” Huang Er paused and hesitated.

“You can speak of it.” Ling Xian brandished his hand, indicating for him to speak his mind.

Huang Er exhaled in relief after acquiring Ling Xian’s permission, “I think you should be careful about the three giants.”

“Be careful about the three forces?”

Ling Xian frowned slightly as his mind worked in lightning speed to a.n.a.lyze what Huang Er meant by this, “What you are saying is that my display of my abilities at the entrance of the city has been noticed by the three forces?”

“That’s right. The three forces have been able to dominate the City of Sin only because they each have a completion leveled cultivator.” Huang Er’s face was sallow and his body was bony. With the tiny goatee, he looked like a scaredy cat.

However, at this moment, his almost in-slits shaped eyes were flickering with light of intelligence.

“You suddenly appeared here today, and you appeared as a completion leveled powerhouse. This will for sure catch the attention of the three controlling forces. They will wonder if you have the intention of messing up the current power structure and whether or not if you are a spy sent by another strong force.”

Huang Er carefully a.n.a.lyzed how the three forces might react and said, “Perhaps at this moment, the three Supreme Headmasters are sitting down together in a meeting and discussing how to deal with you.”

After hearing Huang Er’s a.n.a.lysis, Ling Xian’s eyes flashed with strangeness. If it was a graceful and studious looking man who made this statement, he wouldn’t be surprised.

But in front of him stood a man with low cultivation and a wretched appearance. Therefore, he was very much in shock, as he didn’t expect this beggar-like man had a warm heart and a mind clear enough to have thought so holistically about the whole thing.

At the same time, he agreed with Huang Er’s guess. In other words, when he heard the words “be careful of the three giants” from Huang Er, he arrived at the same conclusion.

“Little Er, you sure have some brain.”

Ling Xian faintly beamed and asked without thinking too much, “With your intelligence, you shouldn’t have been this low in cultivation.”

Hearing this, Huang Xiao Er’s face flashed with anger and his fists tightened subconsciously. It seemed like he drifted into his pain past. However, in the end, he didn’t say anything.

“It seems like he is a person with a story.”

Ling Xian drew conclusion about Huang Er and did not pursue more questions. Instead, he summoned silently, and a bright red fan materialized in midair. It emitted extreme heat.

The temperature of the room began to rise.

Instantly, Huang Er’s eyes brightened. He seemed to have remembered something and also seemed to be in disbelief.

Seeing this, Ling Xian grinned, “Since you a.n.a.lyzed the situation so well, this eighth ranked treasure can be considered as your bonus remuneration.

Hearing this, Huang Er was stunned and there was only one thought in his mind.

Rich tyc.o.o.n!

This was a true rich tyc.o.o.n!
