Lin Jinglong was taken aback.

"So that's how it is. The Elders' Council and the Hidden Alliance aren't a monolithic entity after all?"

"That's right, but we can't afford to break ties completely, so we can only use you to stop their next generation from growing up."

Qin Suifeng shrugged and said.

Lin Jinglong's eyes flickered. Although he didn't completely trust what she said, at least for now, the two sides could cooperate.

"The Hidden World Alliance has issued a kill order against you. Those prodigies will surely flock here, and some of them even want to devour the newly emerged Immortal Ruins. If you go to the Immortal Ruins, you can lure all three hundred-plus people there."

"During this process, the Dragon Group will provide you with all the resources you need behind the scenes. You will be in the open while we will be in the shadows. How many people you can kill depends on your abilities."

"In addition, all resources discovered within the Immortal Ruins are yours to dispose of."

When Qin Suifeng spoke of murder, the willow-leaf knife at her waist emitted a faint hum, and her demeanor became increasingly sinister.

"This is a good deal."

Lin Jinglong nodded slightly.

The Dragon Group's goal is to slaughter the prodigies of hidden families, as they are related to the fate of the Hidden Alliance for the next hundred years.

The Hidden World Alliance, on the other hand, intends to use the pretext of hunting them down to hold a martial arts competition, giving those prodigies an opportunity to hone their skills.

"As for me, it's for both self-preservation and revenge, which happens to align with the interests of the Dragon Group, so cooperation is indeed possible."

Lin Jinglong and Qin Suifeng had a discussion.

It was already afternoon.

Just then.

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Chen Qingling rushed to the outside of the secret room and said with a strange expression, "Boss, a group of strange people have come and surrounded our stronghold."

Who is it?

"They said they were from the All Souls Society, but the people stationed outside found out that this group came to see Mr. Lin and said they wanted to kill everyone in this courtyard!"
