On the way back to the auction house location.

Lin Jinglong glanced curiously at the Black Moon Saintess beside him.

"Your name is Black Moon?"

She glanced at Lin Jinglong with her stunning profile.

"Code name Black Moon, that's what I've been called for a year now."

"So you don't have a real name?"

"During the operation, I only had a code name."

Black Moon did not elaborate on this.

Lin Jinglong suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Then what is your relationship with the Two Elders of the Underworld?"

"They are both my masters."

Black Moon's tone suddenly became somewhat sentimental.

She realized that she hadn't seen her two masters for a long time, as she had been active in southern Xinjiang for the past year.

"Then it's not surprising!"

Like the two elders of the underworld, Black Moon is not good at direct combat, but the speed he has shown, as well as methods such as the Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Incense, are quite outstanding.

He definitely benefited from having this person as his assistant.

Soon after, Lin Jinglong, Hei Yue, and Qian Duolu returned to their previous auction house location.

Chen Donglai, who was already tied up, stared wide-eyed.

"Holy Maiden! Help!"

"We've all been crippled by Lin Jinglong!"

"These people from the auction house are going too far! They actually said they'd kill us to silence us!"

Chen Donglai and his Dharma protector elder Jia Shan.

I was so scared I almost peed myself!

At this moment, cries for help are being sent out continuously.

This also included hundreds of other Black Moon Hall warriors nearby, who were being watched by the auction house warriors brought by Situ Xue and were trapped nearby with no way to escape.

Hei Yue glanced at Lin Jinglong.

"They don't know who I am. How do you plan to explain to them that we've started working together?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Lin Jinglong laughed heartily.

He stepped forward and transmitted his voice to Situ Xue and the others.

"I have reached an agreement with this Black Moon Saintess. Everything before was a misunderstanding. The mystery surrounding Qian Duolu has now been solved. From now on, we can cooperate with the Black Moon Hall."

"It was just a misunderstanding?"

Lin Jinglong's words were vague and ambiguous.

This left Situ Xue and Wu Tianpo completely bewildered.

Weren't they in a state of shouting for war before?

But they actually reached an agreement after just one trip together?

However, the two of them now follow Lin Jinglong's lead. They both admire Lin Jinglong's abilities and released the Black Moon Hall people without any hesitation.

Chen Donglai looked miserable. Their Black Moon Hall in the Southern Frontier was a powerful force, but after encountering Lin Jinglong, they were beaten so badly.

He almost hugged Black Moon's leg and cried his heart out.

"Holy Maiden, what exactly is going on?"

Jia Shan asked in a trembling voice from the side.

She resumed her icy demeanor and shook her head.

"You don't need to know that much. Yang Xinhu's banquet is about to begin, right? Go back and prepare. Tonight we will be attending together with Dark Star Auction House."

"Does the Holy Maiden mean that our two families should join forces?"

"That's right."

Black Moon gave them a perfunctory nod.

She didn't bother to explain further. She was infiltrating the Black Moon Hall, merely using their name to secretly investigate the ancient evil cultivator, Lao Zui.

The Black Moon Hall's influence in the Southern Frontier was quite considerable, and Chen Donglai and his group didn't have much of a background to help her conceal her identity.

With her order, Chen Donglai breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze swept back and forth between Lin Jinglong and Hei Yue, utterly puzzled as to what had happened between them.

But when facing Lin Jinglong, he appeared very frightened.

After all, he was also a ninth-level Martial Emperor, but after encountering Lin Jinglong, the other party was able to suppress him to his knees and beg for mercy simply by relying on his aura.

The punch he received before leaving almost crippled him.

Left with no other choice, he had to follow orders!

It was evening.

Lin Jinglong, Hei Yue, and Situ Xue appeared together outside the manor of Yang Xinhu, the Martial Emperor of Southern Xinjiang. Before they arrived, the manor was already packed with people.

Situ Xue, dressed in a white dress, complemented Hei Yue, who was wearing a black dress, and the two of them were both stunning in appearance and figure, quickly attracting the attention of most people at the door.

Lin Jinglong was being held by one of the two men, one arm of each of them.

She was the envy of countless men!

"Who exactly is that guy? The one in the white dress seems to be Situ Xue, the young master of Dark Star Auction House. Her father is Situ Zhentian!"

"And that woman, isn't she the mysterious Holy Maiden of the Black Moon Hall? She's already a ninth-level Martial Emperor at such a young age. The Black Moon Hall's constant boasting in Tianbao City over the past year is all thanks to her!"

"These two women are actually arm in arm with the same person!"

"Could that bastard be the imperial son of a reclusive family?"

Everyone cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances at Lin Jinglong.

Lin Jinglong listened to Situ Xue's explanation from the side.

"After the strange events and the appearance of spiritual veins in the Holy Realm a few days ago, Yang Xinhu, the Martial Emperor of the Southern Frontier, immediately dispatched his thousands of subordinates to control the spiritual veins near the Holy Realm and seal off the entrance to the Holy Realm."

"I heard that he is going to send out a hundred invitations to invite major forces inside and outside the Southern Frontier to share the spiritual vein together."

"But this time, at least three hundred forces are interested in the spiritual veins, including representatives from the Hidden World Alliance."

The three had already entered the manor.

After hearing this, Lin Jinglong became even more interested in Yang Xinhu. He asked curiously, "Although he intends to win over hundreds of forces, with so many forces involved, there are bound to be some who are not qualified to approach the Saint Realm."

"Isn't he afraid of retaliation?"

"After all, he was just a Vajra Martial Emperor."

Faced with Lin Jinglong's question, Situ Xue shook her head.

Hei Yue took over the explanation, saying, "It's not that simple. There are other powerful figures behind Yang Xinhu. He's just a representative who's been pushed to the forefront."

"His target should be the spiritual vein. As for the more crucial sacred realm after the spiritual vein, the boss behind him should be the one who is interested."

"The waters of southern Xinjiang run deeper than you can imagine!"

Hei Yue has been in Southern Xinjiang for a year and has investigated many things. Although her main focus has been on finding the fugitive Lao Zui, she is quite knowledgeable about the local customs and culture of Southern Xinjiang.

Lin Jinglong's eyes flashed.

Is there a boss behind Yang Xinhu?

Surely it can't be the Celestial Martial Emperor?

Just as he was wondering, a voice came from behind him.

"Situ Xue!"

A sharp voice rang out.

Lin Jinglong and his two companions turned around and saw a young man in a flashy white suit, accompanied by several attendants, hurrying towards them.

And he kept calling out Situ Xue's name.

"You vile woman, how dare you return to the Southern Frontier! Our family hasn't even settled accounts with you for castrating my brother yet!"

The young man in the white suit was furious.

Lin Jinglong also looked at Situ Xue in surprise.

Did she castrate this person's younger brother?
