The Mo Clan and the Gen Clan had some ties to the Liang Clan, in a manner of speaking, but those ties were tenuous at best.
Compared with the other eighth-order tribes of the Xuanling Domain, the Mo Clan and the Gen Clan were slightly closer to the Liang Clan, which gave them some room to speak.
With the annual tribute deadline approaching, the Bai Clan and the Liang Clan naturally had to notify each tribe of the exact amount. The Bai Clan had little interest in such matters and, just as in the secret realm, left the task to the Liang Clan.
Once all the tribes had handed over their tribute resources, the Bai Clan would settle accounts with the Liang Clan.
The Liang Clan called on the Mo Clan and the Gen Clan to guide them to each tribe's territory and deliver the notices.
With the Liang Clan's strength, they could naturally have summoned the eighth-order cultivators of every tribe to their current territory. None of the other eighth-order tribes in the Xuanling Domain would have dared disobey.
But aside from announcing the amount of resources required as tribute, the Liang Clan also wanted to inspect the condition of each tribe's eighth-order peak cultivators.
Neither the Bai Clan nor the Liang Clan particularly cared whether anyone in the Xuanling Domain reached the ninth-order early stage. With the power at their disposal, they could suppress such people directly.
But not caring and being completely uninformed were two different things, so the necessary inspections still had to be carried out.
"Brother Fu, Xian City is just ahead. The Xian Clan has now concentrated all its forces in this city," Ning XinZha of the Gen Clan said with a broad smile.
"Where does the Xian Clan roughly rank among your tribes?"
