Lin Jinglong was completely relieved at this point.

“You’re right. The martial arts tournament is a good opportunity for me to take revenge on the Lin family. I would participate even without a reward, and since you’ve offered such generous terms, I’m even more determined to participate.”

"Would you participate even without the reward?"

Long Qi couldn't help but make a joke.

"Then why not return this Emperor Bone Golden Pill to me?"

Lin Jinglong turned his palm and put the jade box into his sleeve.

"No matter what, it is the Elder's good intention, and it would be disrespectful for me to refuse it. I cannot disappoint my elders."

"You little rascal..."

Long Qi chuckled.

He saw that Lin Jinglong had indeed agreed to the cooperation proposal.

Then he took out a blank plaque with red characters on a black background.

However, the token was clearly covered with spiritual energy.

"This is an Elder Council envoy token. Any member of the Elder Council, as well as any force cooperating with the Elder Council, can recognize the spiritual essence on this token."

"With this token, you are considered to have become a special envoy of the highest level of the Elders Council."

"As for power..."

Long Qi's tone became meaningful.

"Equal to the elders of the council of elders!"

Lin Jinglong raised an eyebrow.

He took the black token, somewhat surprised.

The entire council hall has a total of thirty-two elders, among whom the Third Elder, Zhou Xuantian, has been detained and is under investigation.

The remaining thirty-one people have already reached the pinnacle of power in the Great Xia Dynasty within the official camp!

The various core departments and industries of the Elders' Council are all controlled by these thirty-odd elders. Even a sneeze from them can make any industry in the Great Xia Dynasty tremble.

"During the World Martial Arts Tournament, which will last for the next month, you will have the authority to act first and report later. As long as you do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, the Elders' Council will stand by your side no matter what happens."

"You have the authority to issue orders to the Kyoto garrison and even the highest-ranking military officials, mobilizing a million soldiers within a 500-mile radius of Kyoto!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong nodded slightly.

It seems the elders really value him.

However, he soon had an idea.

"Can I also mobilize the Dragon Group?"

Long Qi looked helpless.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Your authority can only mobilize the regular departments under the Elders' Council. As for the Dragon Group and other secret organizations..."

"This is a power unique to the Fourth Elder."

"The entire Kyoto area, within a radius of 500 li, is covered by the great array under his control. He also controls the core martial arts power of the Elders' Council. This was specially prepared for important matters, and it is impossible to allow others to share the power."

Lin Jinglong suddenly felt a bit bored.

However, they are just regular forces such as garrison troops. Apart from their large numbers, in terms of combat strength, they probably don't even have a Saint-level soldier.

Not to mention the experts at the Martial Emperor level.

Lin Jinglong seemed somewhat disappointed.

Long Qi quickly added.

"Although you can't mobilize the Dragon Group, given the great kindness you've shown me, Long Qi, I would personally risk my life to help you without hesitation!"

Lin Jinglong glanced at the old man beside him.

Seeing his solemn expression, it was clear he wasn't joking.

"You are grateful for kindness, but you are not a worthless person. Your martial arts talent is the best I have seen since I came to the capital. If you hadn't been injured by the Nangong family head, you might have already reached the Emperor level."

Upon hearing this, Long Qi could only manage a wry smile.

"I've been held back by Nangong Xiong for over ten years, and now I'm truly a worthless person. So you don't need to pity me. If there's anything that requires you to risk your life, just come to me."

You misunderstood me.

Lin Jinglong shook his head repeatedly.

"What I mean is, if you want to die, you might as well wait until you reach the Martial Emperor realm. If I get into trouble then, you can come and fight for me. That way, we can maximize your value."

Long Qi was taken aback by his words, which were both extremely pragmatic and incredibly honest.

But he nodded with a helpless smile.

"Then you'll probably have to wait a long time."

Lin Jinglong shrugged.

As his Heavenly Silkworm Skill deepens, the efficiency of repairing Long Qi's hidden ailments can be greatly improved.

He will soon be able to reach his full potential.

Emperor Wu?

Perhaps it won't take too long!

Even Lin Jinglong himself was the same.

Soon after, the group returned to the Dragon Soul Hall. After escorting Lin Jinglong to his destination, Long Qi instructed the driver to rush back to the Elders' Council, as the Martial Arts Tournament was imminent and he had many things to attend to.

Lin Jinglong got out of the car with Ge Ling'er.

He glanced at the chubby-cheeked little girl following beside him, wondering how he would explain to Wu Yuehan that he had a little girl with him.

Won't she be mistaken for an illegitimate child?

"Don't say anything out of line when you see my wife."

Lin Jinglong tapped her head and said.

Ge Ling'er immediately covered her head and grimaced.

"You have absolutely no sense of chivalry, yet you managed to find a wife. She must be an incredibly ugly woman to even be interested in you, right?"

Ge Ling'er let out a curse.

Lin Jinglong curled his lip.

Showing pity and tenderness to a beautiful woman?

Ge Ling'er is neither fragrance nor jade!

Instead, he is an ancient monster who has lived for five thousand years!

As for Wu Yuehan, she possesses both a heroic and spirited temperament and a contrasting soft and gentle side, making her a woman worthy of pity.

However, they had only just entered the Dragon Soul Hall.

Lin Jinglong discovered that there was no one there!

"Disappeared again?"

Lin Jinglong scratched his head.
