Near Lingyun Mountain.

Wild and desolate mountains.

In a deep, secluded forest, only a few rays of sunlight can penetrate, as if no one has set foot there for thousands of years.

But this place is bustling with activity right now.

More than 500 people gathered here!

Standing at the forefront of the crowd were people from the Qian, Hu, and Luo families. They had brought more than three hundred experts, including over fifty martial emperors.

The remaining people were members of other reclusive families, as well as sects such as the Divine Pill Sect.

An elderly man in a brocade robe from the Qian family stood in front of the crowd.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the crowd with a hint of helplessness.

How did the news leak out?

He questioned the middle-aged man beside him.

"Ancestor, it's not our fault."

"It's been so many years since our three families have mobilized so much; we can't hide it from anyone else."

The middle-aged man's real name is Qian Fuhai.

He is the current head of the Qian family.

Beside him was the fat man, Qian Duolu.

They were also observing the crowd at this time.

"Ancestor, don't worry. Our three families have a large number of people, and we can definitely suppress these people. This once-in-a-millennium treasure should rightfully belong to our Qian family!"

Qian Duolu spoke auspicious words to please his ancestor.

The old man shook his head, a hint of worry in his eyes. With the bloodline talent of the Duobao clan, this was the first time he had sensed such a strong intuition in all these years.

This treasure is incredibly valuable!

They, the Qian family, are determined to seize it!

"Everyone, since you've all come along, why don't we enter the ruins together? According to the rules of the Hidden World Alliance, we must not kill each other!"

"The Qian family patriarch is right!"

A high-ranking Martial Emperor stepped forward from the crowd.

He was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes.

He glanced around at the crowd and said in a low voice, "I am Lin Xiong Yi, an elder of the Lin family. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"

His order was more effective than the Qian family patriarch speaking in person, after all, the Lin family was known for its decisiveness in killing within the Hidden World Alliance.

besides.

The group from the Divine Pill Sect included Cao Zhenxing and his son Cao Tianchun, who had originally come down the mountain to find Lin Jinglong.

But on the way, they heard about the unusual activities of the Duobao clan.

Knowing that a great treasure had appeared, they rushed over.

Afterwards, more than 500 people entered the cave behind the mountain and headed to the ruins of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, which had been hidden here for more than 5,000 years.

A few members were left behind to guard the area.

Among the crowd were powerful individuals who had left behind a magic array.

To prevent other forces from following suit and entering.

It was already afternoon.

Lin Jinglong, dressed in a black robe, was hidden in the queue of the Dark Star Auction House, totaling twenty people.

"Twelve Saint-level Perfection cultivators, eight Martial Emperors, and even two High-level Martial Emperors—truly worthy of Dark Star Auction House!"

Lin Jinglong followed beside Situ Xue.

His face was obscured by a black robe.

His main targets this time were the Heavenly Silkworm Technique and the little girl who had been hiding in this place for thousands of years; he did not want to clash with the Hidden World Alliance.

Therefore, Situ Xue was in charge on the surface.

“Young Master, there are people blocking the entrance to the cave, and a magic array is blocking the entrance as well. The Hidden World Alliance has already entered first.”

Among the twenty-person team, the strongest, an eighth-level Martial Emperor, reported to Situ Xue after scouting ahead.

Situ Xue remained calm upon hearing this.

She glanced at Lin Jinglong, who was hiding his face beside her.

“Take care of them.”

Eighth-level Elder Li Changkong's eyes widened in shock.

“This would mean a direct conflict with the Hidden World Alliance, which would be detrimental to the auction house’s business. Perhaps I should contact a few old friends and ask them to order the passage.”

“They’ve already taken the lead, and it will be too late if we wait any longer. We don’t have that much time to deal with them.”

Situ Xue explained in a gentle and patient tone.

Li Changkong could only nod in agreement.

The group finally arrived at the cave entrance.

"stop!"

"This place already belongs to the Hidden World Alliance!"

"No matter where you come from, you are not allowed to enter!"

There are about twenty or thirty people ahead.

They were all reclusive members left behind to guard the gate.

There are people of all ages, and they are all at the Saint rank or above.

However, only one Martial Emperor was stationed there.

He held a blood-red token in his hand.

It symbolizes the authority of the Hidden World Alliance!

"The Hidden World Alliance has issued a warrant here, and no one may disobey it."

"We are from Dark Star Auction House!"

Li Changkong stepped forward to persuade him.

The leader, the Martial Emperor, looked on with disdain.

"So what about Dark Star Auction House?"

"The family has given a death order!"

"This time, you are all unauthorized personnel and are not allowed to enter!"

Li Changkong still wanted to try and negotiate.

Lin Jinglong walked up with an impatient look on his face.

"Old Li, you're being too polite to them."

"I……"

Before Li Changkong could speak...

Lin Jinglong had already thrown a punch.

The Martial Emperor guarding the cave entrance suddenly changed his expression. How dare they actually attack him?

"You're asking for it!"

"Don't you even look at what I have in my hand!"

"This is the Hidden World Alliance Order!"

"What junk?"

Lin Jinglong landed several punches on the man.

The unknown Martial Emperor was sent flying to the ground, coughing up blood. The Saint-level members around him were also affected, being knocked over by the force of the impact. In just one exchange, dozens of people were seriously injured.

"This person is strange!"

"The great formation here can't suppress him!"
