Three years ago, he was the young master of the most prominent family in the capital, but due to his grandfather's superstition, he was sent to a Taoist temple where he suffered hardship yet ma...
With the Dragon Roar Blade pressed against his neck, Qian Duolu suddenly chuckled awkwardly and said, "It seems I can't hide it from Master Lin after all. Actually, there's more to this than meets the eye."
"We...we saw it in the Holy Land..."
He seemed to be stammering.
"What do you see? Stop talking nonsense!"
Lin Jinglong was just one stab away from killing the fat man.
But Qian Duolu's next words silenced Lin Jinglong.
"We have seen ancient immortals!"
"With a mere gesture, the Holy Realm could be shaken and its mountains crumbled. Even the strongest Martial Emperor couldn't do that. The Holy Realm wasn't actually sealed off again."
"It was shattered by that immortal!"
Qian Duolu said with a bitter expression.
"If it weren't for the ancestor mobilizing a ninth-tier teleportation talisman to send him, the only son of the Qian family, out, we would probably all have perished in the Southern Frontier Sacred Realm."
"So, your ancestor is dead?"
Lin Jinglong looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Qian Duolu nodded, then shook his head.
"I can't be sure either, but I did see the immortal's figure before I was teleported away. It seems that we violated some kind of switch in the Holy Realm, causing the Holy Realm to open unexpectedly, which led to the immortal's appearance."
"Are you kidding me?"
Lin Jinglong felt that what he said was an exaggeration.
An ancient immortal whose strength surpasses that of a Martial Emperor?
Is this possible?
How many years has it been since the Heaven and Earth Connection was severed? Among the Martial Emperors of the Celestial Realm, this is the strongest being that could be born in five thousand years!
Even stronger beings above that level have never appeared!
But upon closer inspection with his Golden Eyes, Lin Jinglong realized that Qian Duolu was not lying this time, causing him to fall into deep thought.
"According to him, the Southern Frontier Holy Land has been completely shattered. Even if the entrance is found now, it is unlikely that there will be a place to stay inside."
In Lin Jinglong's understanding, this Southern Frontier Sacred Realm should be the same type of place as the Heavenly Silkworm Sect Ruins and the Qingxu Cave Heaven.
It is a small space independent of the present world.
Now that it's broken, how do we get back in?
Not to mention, according to Qian Duolu, there are even immortals appearing in that holy realm, which is simply astonishing!
Just as Lin Jinglong was pondering...
Northwest corner of Tianbao City.
Outside a low-key yet luxurious mansion, Elder Jia led a dozen or so of his men through a martial arts training ground and into the depths of the mansion.
"Master!"
Elder Jia led his men in bowing before the main hall.
In front of him sat a burly middle-aged man, staring at him with wide eyes.
Chen Donglai, the leader of the Black Moon Hall!
Where are they?
"He was rescued by a mysterious person!"
Jia Shan had no choice but to explain to Chen Donglai.
“That kid used some disguise techniques, which we saw through, but he seems to be an eighth-level Martial Emperor. I was no match for him. Ah Hao was killed by him with a single finger.”
Chen Donglai's face darkened upon hearing the explanation.
"Our Black Moon Hall has been keeping an eye on that sacred land in the southern border for five or six years. We finally made some progress, and Qian Duolu was our only lead, but he got away again!"
"If the Holy Maiden intervenes, she should be able to find it, right?"
Jia Shan tentatively said.
Chen Donglai's expression changed slightly, as if he was also very wary of this Holy Maiden. Before he could speak, a woman in black, about twenty-five years old, tall, with long black hair cascading down her back, appeared outside the main hall.
She was wearing a black dress, her long legs partially visible.
A black jasmine flower is adorned on the left side of her chest.
This Black Moon Saintess has striking features and a frosty expression.
“I have located Qian Duolu’s location using the Soul-Chasing Incense. Please come with me, Master Chen, so we can meet that mysterious guest.”
"Then thank you very much for your help, Holy Maiden!"
Chen Donglai showed considerable apprehension towards this "Black Moon Saintess," with even a hint of fear in his eyes.
Under the leadership of the Black Moon Saintess.
The Black Moon Gang, the local tyrant of Tianbao City, has mobilized its entire force.
More than a hundred people were heading to that stronghold.
On the way, Jia Shan and Hall Master Chen Donglai were sitting in the same car. He tentatively said, "Hall Master, the Holy Maiden is particularly concerned about the Holy Realm this time. Before we could even speak, she had already taken the initiative to locate Qian Duolu's direction."
What are you trying to say?
"Could it be that the Holy Maiden appeared in our Black Moon Hall because of the Holy Realm?"
Jia Shan continued tentatively.
Chen Donglai's face darkened as he spoke.
In fact, he had such a guess in his heart. About a year ago, the woman in the black dress whose name he did not even know suddenly appeared in Tianbao City and said that she wanted to join their Black Moon Hall.
Chen Donglai originally looked down on a young woman.
After taking action, he discovered that his eighth-level Martial Emperor realm was completely ineffective against his opponent.
He was severely injured by a single palm strike.
Fortunately, this mysterious woman did not intend to kill him. Instead, she asked him for the position of Black Moon Saintess and remained in hiding in their Black Moon Hall for a full year.
I've helped them with some things on a regular basis.
In particular, their mastery of the production and use of the Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Incense provided them with tremendous assistance.
But at the same time, it is also a sword hanging over their heads.
This made it impossible for Chen Donglai to sleep peacefully.
"Perhaps after this matter is over, this Black Moon Saintess will be able to leave our Black Moon Hall. I hope so."
Chen Donglai muttered to himself.
Soon after, a group of people appeared at the auction house's location.
After negotiating with Qian Duolu, Lin Jinglong summoned Situ Xue and Wu Tianpo, asking them to investigate the secrets of the Southern Frontier Holy Land and try to piece together a valuable clue by collecting more fragmented information.
Before Situ Xue and the other person could leave.
Lin Jinglong suddenly raised his hand.
"Don't go out yet."
In the courtyard, Situ Xue and Wu Tianpo looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What happened?"
"Someone's coming!"
Lin Jinglong raised his hand to stop them.
In the room behind, Qian Duolu, who had recovered to his full strength, rushed out, tumbling and crawling.
Why am I smoking?
He rushed to Lin Jinglong with a look of panic.
Lin Jinglong glanced at him helplessly and immediately recognized that this was a unique technique used by the two elders of the Elder Council that he had witnessed in Qingxu Cave.
"A Thousand Miles of Soul-Chasing Incense!"
Lin Jinglong explained it to him.
Just then, the sound of numerous cars came from outside the door.
Chen Donglai, Jia Shan, and the incredibly mysterious Black Moon Saintess, along with over a hundred Black Moon Hall warriors, appeared outside the mansion at the same time.
Situ Xue and Wu Tianpo instinctively retreated.
"Bang!"
Jia Shan led a group of men in single file.
When he saw Lin Jinglong, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that the Lin Jinglong he had seen before was in disguise, and the one he saw now was the real Lin Jinglong.
Especially Qian Duolu, who looked terrified, standing next to him.
I've already proven that I didn't go to the wrong place!
"Hahaha! You bastard, you actually dared to kill my men, now you can't escape, can you?"
"In this Tianbao City, anyone who dares to oppose our Black Moon Hall will only face death!"
