As someone who had betrayed his family, Lin Tianlang was filled with a great deal of turmoil.

They even projected their own feelings onto Lin Jinglong.

He couldn't help but start to waver.

After all, the conditions offered by the Lin family were too generous; who wouldn't be tempted?

But Lin Jinglong just scoffed when he heard that.

"What a reclusive family! When the Lin family in the capital was weak, you were more ruthless than anyone else."

"I only killed one of your prodigies."

"They started trying to win me over. If I kill a few more prodigies or family elders, wouldn't you all kneel down and beg me to become the family head?"

The old man in the gray robe narrowed his eyes.

His gaze turned icy.

"Lin Jinglong, don't be ungrateful."

"You're the ones who don't know what's good for you!"

Lin Jinglong's expression was cold and stern.

His cold gaze fell on the old man.

"From now on, wherever I, Lin Jinglong, am, the Lin family had better keep their distance, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temper. I've never been soft on killing people!"

"You're asking for it!"

The old man in the gray robe was caught off guard.

Lin Jinglong is so arrogant!

The family has offered the best terms. Regardless of whether those terms are feasible, they are still very attractive to everyone.

Those are all irresistible temptations!

But Lin Jinglong actually refused!

Lin Tianlang, standing to the side, looked at him with admiration. Although he knew Lin Jinglong's personality, he was still impressed by the conditions the family had just offered.

It's truly unimaginable!

Seeing that Lin Jinglong was unwilling to change his mind, the old man in the gray robe became even more gloomy.

"I've said what I needed to say, but it seems you really won't listen. You're just an insignificant branch of the Lin family in the capital, yet you've missed out on the Lin family's olive branch!"

"You're incredibly stupid!"

"Smack!"

A slap suddenly landed on his face.

The gray-robed elder was completely unprepared, after all, he was a powerful Emperor-level expert, a level above Lin Jinglong.

Who would dare to imagine that Lin Jinglong would dare to make a move rashly?

The old man was slapped so hard he was sent flying and landed outside the balcony.

He covered his face, furious.

Lin Jinglong stood on the balcony, looking down at him, and said calmly, "I told you, if you keep talking nonsense, I really won't lose my temper. If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"

"Very well, very well, this brat is not worth discussing things with!"

The old man in the gray robe took a deep breath.

His expression had become incredibly ferocious.

"Lin Jinglong, you must remember this: the reason we spared your life is to give the prodigies of the Hidden World Alliance a chance to hone their skills. They have been living in comfort for too long."

"More importantly, we must make them understand what the ultimate fate will be for those who defy the Hidden World Alliance!"

"You are a whetstone, a signboard; your fate was already sealed!"

The words fell.

The old man's figure vanished with a bang.

He left in a rage, leaving a deep pit in the spot where he stood, causing a large bald patch to appear on the lawn of the Dragon Soul Club villa.

Lin Jinglong was immediately enraged.

Lin Tianlang came over and comforted him, saying, "What the whetstone said is true, but you don't need to be too angry. After all, those geniuses can't unite as one, so they may not be able to do anything to you."

"What angers me is that he destroyed the lawn of the Dragon Soul Club. The people from this reclusive family really have very low moral standards!"

Lin Jinglong glanced at the bare lawn in front of the villa, gritted his teeth in anger, and thought that he would definitely settle accounts with that gray-robed old man the next time he saw him.

Lin Tianlang's eye twitched slightly.

So that's what you were angry about?

Lin Jinglong glanced at him again.

"As for the whetstone and the sign he mentioned, that's just a joke."

"If those family prodigies really dare to come, I'd be more than happy to see them. I'd love to kill them all and cut off their lineages!"

"Let's see how long those old turtles can keep hiding!"

Lin Jinglong regained his confidence.

Then, Lin Tianlang sighed and brought up another matter.

"It seems you have a very good mindset. However, there is also good news: not all geniuses will come for you."

"Oh? They have other things to do?"

"Remains of an Immortal!"

Lin Tianlang's tone became slightly more excited.

He explained to Lin Jinglong that the original content of the Heavenly Pride Martial Arts Competition was to search for treasure in a relic of an immortal who was about to emerge.

Who can obtain that treasure?

Whoever can become the saint of martial arts.

You will receive a large amount of rewards from the Hidden World Alliance.

"After that gray-robed elder went back, he should change the content of the martial arts competition to hunting down Lin Jinglong in the capital. However, there are also some people who are unwilling to fight against those strong people."

"They will set their sights on that immortal ruins, and the treasure within those ruins is said to be an immortal-level cultivation technique."

"In addition, there are a large number of ancient spiritual herbs, pills, and even magical artifacts with spiritual essence."

Lin Tianlang began to explain in detail.

After hearing his explanation, Lin Jinglong's eyes lit up. He had now reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, which was equivalent to the peak of the Martial Saint stage.

If you want to continue to make breakthroughs...

It will inevitably consume a lot of resources.

"That's good news. Where is that ruin located?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianlang immediately gave a wry smile.

"Such a top secret matter is not something we can easily know. However, I am also very interested in that ruin. I will inquire about it for you."

Lin Jinglong nodded.

This guy suddenly brought this up because he wanted to invite me to go to that ruin together, right?

Then let him handle the search for the ruins.

"There's another matter. After Zhang Junhu's group took over the resources left behind by the ten ancient martial arts families, more than ten sects announced their merger and formed a force called the Azure Dragon Society."
