Just as he pressed for answers.

Another burly man entered the small building.

The two look very similar and are both tall and strong.

Another burly man named Zhou Quan rushed in.

He said with a solemn expression, "I don't know what's gotten into those rogue cultivators, but they're searching for us throughout the entire capital city. They've already found this area."

Upon hearing this, Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"Great! I'm saved!"

But the next moment.

Zhou An, who had a bad temper, stepped forward.

He grabbed him by the collar and said with a sinister grin, "Elder Chen, you are also a member of the sect. I didn't hurt you that way because of our past relationship."

"But you should know that we, as martial artists of the sect's law enforcement hall, do all the dirty work."

"The situation is different now. I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't tell me, I'll have to resort to other methods!"

"No, please don't!"

Chen Li shouted loudly.

He quickly said, "I once owed Chong Wanfeng a favor. In order to save his daughter, I stole the recipe for the seventh-grade Linglong Pill and went down the mountain."

"Besides Chong Wanfeng, there was also Jun Shuiqian, the vice president of the Loose Cultivator Martial Arts Association, and Elder Wu Tongtian on that day."

"And another one? You're a sixth-grade alchemist, so a seventh-grade pill formula is useless to you. Who's the one who refined the pills?"

"It's...it's Lin Jinglong!"

Chen Li said with a helpless expression.

He was more afraid of betraying Lin Jinglong than betraying Jun Shuiqian's name, since he had personally witnessed Lin Jinglong at the entrance of the martial arts tournament yesterday.

They confronted the Elders' Council and then forcibly killed Lin Wuyou!

That's a prodigy from a reclusive family, a bloodline of imperial genius!

The fact that such people were killed shows just how ruthless and audacious Lin Jinglong was!

After Chen Li finished speaking, he quickly added something else.

"That Lin Jinglong is an exceptionally talented individual. He has also improved the formula for the Linglong Pill, making it the Seven Aperture Linglong Pill, with effects similar to an eighth-grade pill. He said he is willing to donate the formula to the Divine Pill Sect!"

The two brothers, Zhou An and Zhou Quan, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Suddenly, Zhou An let out a sneer.

"Old Chen, do you think we're idiots? Although we're from the Enforcement Hall and don't know anything about alchemy, we still have some basic common sense from what we've seen and heard."

"Every pill formula in the sect has been tested for thousands of years and approved by tens of thousands of alchemy masters. There is no room for improvement!"

"You'll say anything to save your life!"

Chen Li looked aggrieved.

“I’m telling the truth. I saw him refine pills with my own eyes and he even successfully used the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill to revive Chong Wanfeng’s daughter.”

"There's no need to tell us that!"

Zhou An rebuked him coldly.

"We have only one mission when we go down the mountain: to eliminate the person who leaked the secret and anyone who has seen the pill formula. No matter if they are innocent or not, anyone who has seen the pill formula must die!"

Chen Li was intimidated by the aura of the two.

He collapsed to the ground, too ashamed to offer any further explanation.

Despair was already evident in his eyes.

"These two brothers are the most vicious henchmen in the Enforcement Hall. They have reached the mid-level Martial Emperor realm at a young age, and ordinary people can't do anything to them..."

Just then.

On the outskirts of this residential area.

More than ten black cars stopped.

Lin Jinglong got out of one of the cars, with Jun Shuiqian and Wu Tongtian beside him.

Chong Wanfeng, carrying a heavy ruler, hid in the shadows.

There were also hundreds of core members of the loose martial arts association from all directions, dressed in standard short-sleeved uniforms, plus hundreds of low-level martial artists searching the perimeter.

This area has been locked down.

Jun Shuiqian asked Wu Tongtian, "Are you sure this is the place?"

"We've investigated over a thousand people and confirmed it's in a building in this area. Should we send people in to search?"

Wu Tongtian said with a solemn expression.

The Divine Pill Sect is, after all, a top-tier power.

Including Chong Wanfeng, they have a total of four Martial Emperors on their side, so they should be quite confident.

But Wu Tongtian still couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Jun Shuiqian's temperament is similar to Lin Jinglong's.

"Investigate! Turn the place upside down and find out the truth, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully if someone from such a top-tier power is keeping an eye on me!"

Jun Shuiqian gave the order.

Hundreds of martial artists prepared to begin their operation.

Lin Jinglong, standing to the side, raised his hand.

"stop!"

"No need to investigate anymore, everyone else can leave."

"I have found the person."

His gaze was fixed on an old building a hundred meters away.

From inside the third-floor window, a pair of eyes were looking in his direction from afar. When Lin Jinglong's incredibly powerful divine sense swept across the building, Chen Li's location was already confirmed.

"There are two people in total, one at level five and the other at level four. Chen Li is also still alive."

Lin Jinglong said calmly.

Jun Shuiqian and the other person standing to the side looked on in astonishment, but they had been shocked by Lin Jinglong's methods so many times that they were now becoming increasingly numb to them.

Wu Tongtian immediately ordered his men to evacuate.

What happened next was beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists, since there were two mid-level Martial Emperors there.

Lin Jinglong strode towards the building.

Jun Shuiqian was afraid that he would take action directly.

"Master Lin, please don't rush into action. When dealing with a top-tier power like the Divine Pill Sect, it's best to negotiate first."

Lin Jinglong did not respond.

On the way, his divine sense swept across the darkness.

He transmitted the message to Chong Wanfeng.

"Be prepared and read my eyes."

"clear!"

Chong Wanfeng also sent a message.

Inside the three-story building.

Zhou An lowered the curtains and retreated back into the room.

He and his younger brother Zhou Quan looked at each other in bewilderment.

"You sensed it too?"

“That young man has an exceptionally strong sense of perception. He could detect our presence even from a hundred meters away. He might even have seen through our secrets.”

"He must be that seventh-grade alchemist!"

"Could what Chen Li said be true? Does that guy really have the ability to improve pill formulas?"

"Should we report this to the sect?"

Just to be on the safe side, Zhou Quan asked a question.

Chen Li, standing in the corner behind, said repeatedly, "This should definitely be reported! Even though you're called cleaners, you can't just kill people without asking questions. Lin Jinglong's value is far greater than a seventh-grade pill formula!"

"shut up!"

Zhou An rebuked him.

But he still picked up the phone and dialed his superior.

"Master, we have some new developments on our side. We have identified everyone who has come into contact with the sect's secret pill formulas. However, there is a seventh-grade alchemist among them who is said to have improved the formulas. Should we talk to him first?"

A lazy, dismissive voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Did Chen Li tell you this?"

"That old man has ulterior motives; he'll say anything to save his own life. Do you really think you'll believe him?"

"Act according to the sect's rules. I don't need to teach you two brothers what the rules are, do I?"

Listening to the young man's lazy voice on the other end of the phone.

Zhou An's expression was extremely solemn, and he repeatedly agreed.

"Rest assured, Master, I will handle this matter properly, leaving no room for compromise. The dignity of the Divine Pill Sect cannot be violated by anyone!"
