Within the Fire Clan's sacred land!
The Fire Separation Saint Emperor and the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor looked at each other, both remaining silent.
Getting them to take action isn't difficult, but getting them to take advantage of you is another story.
A treasure that can entice someone in the Heavenly Firmament Realm to risk their life is equally precious to the two Saint Emperor.
There weren't many good things to begin with, and now they have to take them out and distribute them to the subordinates for Lin Heng's sake. Who would be willing to do that?
In this respect, Lin Heng gained a considerable advantage.
Given time, he could fleece everyone in Nine Heavens.
If the identities of the two Saint Emperor and Lin Heng were switched right now, and Lin Heng could kill Saint Emperor by spending a few treasures, then Lin Heng would definitely agree without hesitation.
If you say again, "Give me a little more," I'll kill the other six Saint Emperor as well.
Lin Heng could even kill you by simply smashing you to death with his treasures.
But there's nothing we can do about it; Nine Heavens is really poor right now.
Previously, we didn't know how to cherish resources, let alone develop strategies, leading to the overexploitation of resources.
What else could they possibly have left?
" Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, my Fire Clan has already paid a considerable price to obtain this information, and now... alas!"
After an unknown amount of time, seeing that the other party still hadn't reacted, the Fire Separation Saint Emperor spoke first.
He immediately started complaining about being poor, clearly wanting to leave the task of paying out of his own pocket to the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor.
This forced the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor to weigh the pros and cons once again.
What should have been a matter for all Eight Great Imperial Clans has now fallen on their two families.
The Fire Clan stubbornly insisted that they had already spent a considerable amount of money to obtain information about Lin Heng's trip to the ancient ruins and were unwilling to invest any more.
The Lei Clan was somewhat unwilling to bear the burden alone, so he, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, decided against it.
Just as the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was in a dilemma, he suddenly remembered a piece of intelligence from a few days ago.
This news came from the Eighth Heaven.
When Situ Jiannan was exchanging resources, he used a treasure that had once been used by a powerful member of the Thunder Clan at the first level of Heaven.
Logically speaking, that thing should have disappeared long ago.
But now it has reappeared and was taken away and sold by Lin Heng's chief steward.
This news also alerted the Thunder Clan of the Eighth Heaven, and was reported to the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor.
As the investigation continued, the Lei Clan also discovered that the treasures Situ Jiannan used to exchange for resources belonged not only to the Lei Clan, but also to the other seven royal families and Ascenders.
Although Situ Jiannan did these things in different locations and at different times.
However, with so many treasures being sold, it's inevitable that some clues will be left behind.
That's how the Lei Clan managed to track them down.
Thinking of this, Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor's eyes lit up.
Situ Jiannan was merely a chief steward, and his cultivation level was quite low.
How could he possibly produce so many treasures?
That's impossible, of course.
It's easy to guess who gave him these treasures.
In addition, Lin Heng's sect can support more than 100,000 disciples.
This led the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor to a bold guess.
Lin Heng probably has some secret to obtaining treasures.
Thinking about it this way, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was delighted.
If Lin Heng gave so many treasures to Situ Jiannan, the Grand Steward of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, how could his personal collection be anything less?
If that's the case, killing Lin Heng and seizing his storage ring, even if it comes at a price, might yield even greater gains.
"Very well, Fire Separation Saint Emperor, let my Lei Clan handle this matter. I already have someone in mind."
After a long silence, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor spoke again and decisively agreed, Fire Separation Saint Emperor somewhat bewildered.
He had just been thinking that he should also bring out some good stuff, so that he could fool someone in the Heavenly Firmament Realm into risking their life against Duan Wuya, thus creating an opportunity to kill Lin Heng.
In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor agreed, and so readily at that.
Could there be some hidden secret here?
But since things had come to this point, Fire Separation Saint Emperor had no chance to go back on his word, and the matter was considered settled.
The First Heaven, the main hall of the Firmament Hall Palace.
Today, in the main hall, Ao Zhantian is meeting someone named Qin Hongmian.
"How's it going?"
The moment the two met, Qin Hongmian couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't worry, Sister Hongmian, everything has been arranged as you said."
"That old bastard, the Fire Separation Saint Emperor, really thought there would be a traitor among the people of my Firmament Hall."
"Ha! How could my men, the warriors of Ao Zhantian, possibly betray me?"
Ao Zhantian chuckled lightly and said confidently.
That's right!
The intelligence was given by Qin Hongmian, who instructed Ao Zhantian to deliberately have his subordinates leak it to the Fire Clan.
Why not dig a pit for the Fire Clan and make a quick buck from them?
Qin Hongmian nodded; she had never doubted Ao Zhantian's competence.
"Once the Fire Clan is certain that the Firmament Hall will send Duan Wuya, they will definitely send people specifically to restrict Duan Wuya."
"In that case, once we enter the ancient ruins, hmph! Those Eight Great Imperial Clans will definitely be weaker than us."
Qin Hongmian spoke with considerable pride at the end.
However, Ao Zhantian had some concerns. "Sister Hongmian, this method seems to be legal, but if the Eight Great Imperial Clans really want to fight to the death, it's hard to say what will happen."
What are you afraid of?
Qin Hongmian said dismissively, "Did we break the rules? We didn't. Besides, won't the Eight Great Imperial Clans check us on the day we entered the ancient ruins?"
Seeing Qin Hongmian's determination, Ao Zhantian didn't dwell on the topic any further, instead saying, "But isn't it a bit too risky to let Lin Heng enter the ancient ruins this time?"
The decision to give one of the spots to Lin Heng was made after discussions between Ao Zhantian and Qin Hongmian.
But at this moment, Ao Zhantian felt a pang of regret.
Ancient ruins, no one knows what dangers lie within.
Aside from the top figures of the Thirteen Factions, probably no one dares to say they won't be in danger once inside.
Lin Heng entered with the weakest strength.
If something were to happen, it would bury the hopes of the Ascenders within the ancient ruins.
"I also feel that this matter is somewhat inappropriate."
"Given Lin Heng's progress, he doesn't actually need to venture into the ancient ruins."
"Give him enough time, and it's practically a foregone conclusion that he'll reach the pinnacle of power in the Nine Heavens."
When Qin Hongmian said this, there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.
Ao Zhantian also sensed the contradiction in the words, but he quickly realized, "Could it be that person's intention?"
Qin Hongmian nodded. "He didn't hesitate for a moment when making this decision, so I can't say much more."
Now Ao Zhantian felt confident. "Since that person has said so, I think he must be confident in ensuring Lin Heng's safety."
The two exchanged a glance but did not continue speaking.
Even though they were already at the pinnacle of existence in the Nine Heavens.
However, when faced with a powerhouse beyond the Nine Heavens level, they still couldn't fathom it.
Even though Ao Zhantian and Qin Hongmian still had a very close relationship with that person, they still couldn't know much and could only follow orders.
