"Don't escalate this to a point of no return!"

Chen Li tried to persuade him in a weak voice.

Lin Jinglong was already bloodthirsty.

Since they had already started, there was no reason to stop, but Jun Shuiqian and Wu Tongtian on the other side had already stopped on their own.

Are you telling the truth?

Jun Shuiqian frowned as she looked at Chen Li.

"Absolutely true! As long as I can bring the Seven Apertures Exquisite Pill formula back and explain it to the high-ranking elders I know, they will definitely understand!"

Chen Li responded at top speed.

Jun Shuiqian considered herself a businesswoman, and if there was an opportunity to maintain harmony, she naturally did not want to escalate the conflict with the Divine Pill Sect to the point of no return.

Moreover, what Chen Li said made some sense. This matter was originally a misunderstanding, and there was no need to needlessly provoke a major enemy.

So she stepped forward and tried to persuade Lin Jinglong.

"Mr. Lin, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

"These two are just lackeys; killing them won't solve the problem at its root."

"Why don't we give it a try, as Chen Li suggested?"

Jun Shuiqian put it very tactfully.

She also knew Lin Jinglong's temperament; he responded better to gentle persuasion than force.

"Puff!"

Just then.

Zhou An suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Ignoring the horrifying bloodstains on his body, he pleaded with Lin Jinglong with a mournful face.

"Lin Jinglong, we admit defeat!"

"You can kill me, but please spare my brother's life. I promise he won't seek revenge!"

"He will also help Chen Li explain the pill formula to the sect; it really is a misunderstanding!"

Zhou An kowtowed frantically to Lin Jinglong.

Everyone present was stunned. His younger brother, Zhou Quan, standing beside him, also looked bitter and stood there at a loss.

"Kill me if you must, but let my brother go!"

Zhou Quan also knelt down.

Lin Jinglong, who originally intended to kill.

After listening to their advice and seeing the two brothers' friendly and respectful manner, he suddenly felt impatient.

Why are you putting on this melodramatic act for me?

"If we lose today, will you still have any sympathy for us when you kill us?"

Lin Jinglong looked at the two brothers with a mocking expression.

The expressions on their faces froze instantly.

Lin Jinglong looked at them expressionlessly.

He immediately used the blood thread on his hand to pierce through his dantian, directly destroying the foundation of their martial arts.

"I, Lin Jinglong, am not some kind of murderous maniac. I believe in repaying evil with justice."

A wicked smile appeared on Lin Jinglong's face.

"Although you have murderous intentions towards me, the matter originated from a misunderstanding. Since that's the case, let's give the Divine Pill Sect some face and spare your lives."

"Breaking your martial arts cultivation level is a small punishment to deter you from repeating this mistake in the future."

The people around were all dumbfounded.

They actually destroyed the dantian of these two Martial Emperors!

Isn't this even worse than killing them?

The two men collapsed to the ground, having already begged for mercy so earnestly, yet Lin Jinglong still wanted to punish them severely.

Only those with a martial arts prowess and a desire to please the world can flatter.

"Master Lin has good methods. Whether they are sincerely begging for mercy or pretending, crippling them will prevent them from taking revenge in the future."

"As for the Divine Pill Sect, not killing their people is already giving them a huge favor."

"After all, they were in the wrong first!"

The two collapsed to the ground, crying and screaming for their parents.

Lin Jinglong walked over, picked up the disheveled Chen Li, and said with a sneer, "There's another reason why they're still alive."

"The whole thing started because Chong Wanfeng was saving his daughter, which forced you to steal the pill formula. You can't be blamed for this."

“But Chong Wanfeng is now my subordinate. You take the pill formula back as my sincere compensation. If they feel it’s not enough, they will come looking for trouble again.”

"I will go to their homes and reason with them!"

Chen Li's expression changed.

Reasoning?

Based on his understanding of Lin Jinglong.

This person's logic is completely unreasonable!

If Lin Jinglong really goes to the Divine Pill Sect, he'll definitely cause a bloodbath!

So he nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"I will definitely explain things clearly to them and settle this matter completely. I will never allow the Divine Pill Sect to provoke me again!"

Lin Jinglong put Chen Li down.

When passing by the Zhou brothers.

He didn't even glance at them.

In his mind, these two were nothing more than lackeys who ran errands, and with their cultivation crippled, they posed no threat whatsoever.

As for what the Divine Pill Sect thinks...

Do you feel like you've lost face?

That's their problem.

Lin Jinglong coldly returned to the car.

Jun Shuiqian and the other woman quickly followed.

After everyone had left, Chen Li came to the two men and carefully examined the two brothers who were crying and wailing.

"You two brothers were taken in and trained by the sect because of your outstanding martial arts talent. It's been twenty years now, hasn't it?"

"Why can't you understand one thing? No matter how important the sect's interests and reputation are, they are not as important as your own life."

"Even when you're working for someone else, you need to be flexible and adaptable!"

Chen Li, in a shrewd and experienced tone, made the two of them gloat, which made them even more heartbroken.

Two more days have passed.

Inside the Dragon Soul Club villa.

"Zhong Huai? Is there something you need?"

Lin Jinglong looked at Zhong Huai, who exuded a sinister aura. The man was dressed in plain clothes and had a pale face, making him look like a mortal.

Lin Jinglong knew that this was a side effect of cultivating the Netherworld Sensing Technique. The stronger the soul power was nurtured, the less like a living person he became.
