That resentful voice exploded in Lin Jinglong's mind, assaulting his soul and giving him a splitting headache!

"Mr. Lin! Let's go!"

Situ Xue and the others have already set off.

But when they turned around, they saw Lin Jinglong standing there, stiff and unable to move.

She rushed back to try and pull Lin Jinglong away.

"Don't come any closer!"

"I've been locked onto by the Martial Emperor's aura!"

"This person wants to kill me!"

Lin Jinglong raised his hand to stop Situ Xue.

The people at Dark Star Auction House looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone, including Lin Jinglong, couldn't understand how such a thing could have happened.

Logically speaking, this ruin has been sealed for thousands of years and is an ancient immortal gate hidden here.

How could a martial emperor be hiding here?

Moreover, they specifically targeted Lin Jinglong!

"Mr. Li, please do me this once and save Mr. Lin. He can't be allowed to get hurt!"

Situ Xue suddenly gritted her teeth and said.

"I?"

Li Changkong's expression changed.

He was only at the eighth level, and he had witnessed Qin Wu's severe injury from that attack.

If you dare to step forward, you're gambling with your life!

The seventh-level elder standing to the side, whose real name was Liu Li, shook his head and said, "Young Master, no one can save him once he's been targeted by the Martial Emperor. Since we are unaffected..."

"Then we should leave."

"no!"

Situ Xue's face turned ashen.

She glanced around at the group of martial artists beside her.

"Don't forget our goal for this trip: to help Mr. Lin achieve his objective. As agreed, we will protect him even at the cost of our lives."

"You all cultivated to this level using offerings from the auction house. Do you intend to betray your promise?"

"this……"

Li Changkong and the others were speechless.

They enjoyed enormous resources, and logically they should have worked tirelessly for the auction house, but it was Lin Jinglong, not Situ Xue, who was trapped, which put them in a dilemma.

But then Situ Xue took the initiative to go up to her.

Lin Jinglong's body moved involuntarily toward the main hall ahead, step by step, without any room for resistance.

That is the will of Emperor Wu!

Lin Jinglong was constantly thinking of a way to escape.

At that moment, an old man appeared in front of him, shielding him from the aura of the Martial Emperor, and then suddenly slapped him in the chest, sending him back to the mountain path he had come from.

"Run!"

Li Changkong finally made his move.

Lin Jinglong regained his freedom and returned to the mountain path he had come from, preparing to scatter and escape with the others around him.

"hehe."

Suddenly, a clear laugh rang in my ears.

A middle-aged man in a white robe stood at one end of the mountain path, staring at everyone present with a cold smile.

"I already said, everyone else can leave."

“The blood of the Lin family was left on his body.”

"Don't you understand human language?"

The aura emanating from this person, while not reaching the level of a Martial Emperor, was still enough to overwhelm Li Changkong.

Caught in a pincer attack.

Everyone present was filled with despair!

But then a thought flashed through Lin Jinglong's mind.

"They're after the Lin family?"

"But I'm not a member of the Lin family!"

"What do you want with me?"

Lin Jinglong's eyes widened in shock.

"etc!"

He stared at the elegant middle-aged man in white robes, a puzzled expression on his face.

Why?

Does this middle-aged man look familiar?

What is your relationship with Lin Tianlang?

Lin Jinglong suddenly shouted.

He felt that the elegant middle-aged man looked somewhat familiar, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Lin Tianlang's, especially his otherworldly temperament, which was almost identical.

Upon hearing Lin Tianlang's name.

The middle-aged man visibly trembled.

"Lang'er..."

How is he now?

A sudden surge of shock ran through Lin Jinglong's heart.

He had just spoken with Lin Tianlang not long ago. The reason why this former imperial prince of the Lin family betrayed the Lin family was because his mother, the Martial Emperor, and his father, who came from the Qian family of the Duobao clan, had perished in some mysterious ruins.

But the Lin family covered it up, neither investigating nor seeking revenge, as if it had never happened.

This left Lin Tianlang heartbroken!

Based on the plaintive woman's voice and the presence of the middle-aged man in white, Lin Jinglong had confirmed one thing.

They are Lin Tianlang's parents!

"So the ruins where they perished were these Heavenly Silkworm Ruins? How could this be..."

Lin Jinglong found it utterly unbelievable.

But right now, staying alive is the most important thing!

He addressed the middle-aged man, "Could you be Lin Tianlang's father?"

"I've known him for a long time!"

"Furthermore, like him, I have already betrayed the Lin family and have no connection whatsoever with the Hidden World Alliance. If there is any connection, it is a blood feud!"

Lin Jinglong quickly explained his identity.

The powerful middle-aged Martial Emperor's eyes trembled, and his eyes began to redden, as if tears were welling up.

But then a plaintive woman's voice came from behind.

"Is everything you're saying true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Lin Jinglong felt utterly innocent.

I almost lost my life just now. If it weren't for the power of that Martial Emperor not extending into this great hall in front of me, I would definitely be dead!

“I can tell he wasn’t lying.”

The middle-aged man suddenly nodded heavily.

In that instant, Lin Jinglong saw his eyes turn golden, seemingly some kind of supernatural ability that could determine whether the person speaking to him was lying.

After confirming that what Lin Jinglong said was true.

Suddenly, he apologized, saying, "It turns out he's Tianlang's friend. I'm so sorry, I didn't expect him to betray the Lin family. My wife and I have dragged him down..."
