In Huangfu Chao's eyes, there was only fear.

At this point, he was terrified by Lin Jinglong's methods and subconsciously felt that he was destined to die here.

And those phantom images of the Five Elements True Dragons.

As it passed through him.

It caused him to suffer the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows!

"don't want!"

Huangfu Chao let out a terrified scream.

Along with the Huangfu family warriors around him, flames instantly erupted from their bodies, almost burning them all to ashes.

Fortunately, Mingcheng arrived just in time.

He quickly led the martial artists around him to put out the fire.

When Huangfu Chao was pulled out of the inferno, his body was charred black and he looked miserable. He even smelled of roasted meat.

Lin Jinglong did not make any further moves.

After all, Mingcheng was a partner not long ago.

It's also a way of giving him face.

However, his eyes were cold, and his killing intent had not yet subsided.

"Mingcheng, Zhenwu Seal!"

"Use the Zhenwu Seal to suppress this person!"

"He disregards the rules of the Elders' Council!"

"I'm furious," Huangfu Chao said through gritted teeth.

Mingcheng, who was standing to the side, kicked him directly, cursing, "What kind of time is this? You still want to fight?"

"You, a dignified Martial Emperor, were even defeated by Lin Jinglong. You are already lucky enough to be alive!"

"Apologize to Mr. Lin immediately!"

"What? You want me to apologize?"

Huangfu Chao's expression changed again.

He struggled to his feet, glaring angrily at Lin Jinglong.

But when he met his cold eyes, he couldn't help but shiver, even though Mingcheng was unwilling to help him.

If he continues to fight Lin Jinglong...

For him, it was absolutely a matter of life and death!

His body trembled slightly, and the group of Huangfu family warriors beside him, whose injuries were even more severe than his, were terrified.

"Your Excellency, shall we apologize instead?"

"Where there's life, there's hope!"

"It looks like this person wants us dead!"

Those around him tried to dissuade him.

Lin Jinglong tilted his head and said with amusement, "Does this special envoy from the Huangfu family still want to make a move?"

Huangfu Chao's body tensed up instantly.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Jinglong with a face full of grief and indignation.

"I...I was wrong!"

His voice was filled with resentment, but he dared not really continue to attack Lin Jinglong. Although he felt that the reason he had lost as a Martial Emperor was simply because he was frightened by Lin Jinglong, he was afraid that if he fought again...

He can definitely tell the difference between the real and fake puppets!

But reality didn't give him a chance, and he didn't dare to continue, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

The martial arts school members behind them, including Mingbai Lian and Qi Dong, were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

"That's incredible!"

"They actually managed to force a Martial Emperor to bow his head and apologize!"

"You should know that Master Lin is still only at the ninth level!"

"..."

The crowd behind them continued to discuss the matter.

Huangfu Chao's face grew increasingly gloomy. He clenched his teeth, his face turning red with suppressed rage.

Fortunately, Mingcheng arrived just then.

He looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Master Lin, have you found out Yang Xinhu's whereabouts yet?"

"The Lin family's matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed."

"How about we work together again?"

Lin Jinglong then refused.

Mingcheng added, "This time, we'll be led by Master Lin. We'll do whatever you tell us to do, and our Dark Division will fully cooperate with you, armed with the Zhenwu Seal."

"Oh? You're really that generous?"

"After all, Master Lin's influence is undeniable, isn't it?"

Mingcheng was completely convinced by Lin Jinglong, and didn't even dare to treat him as an equal, instead addressing him as "Master Lin" repeatedly.

Besides calming Lin Jinglong down,

It was also because Lin Jinglong, in his ninth-level form, was able to defeat Huangfu Chao that his understanding of Lin Jinglong was completely refreshed.

Lin Jinglong hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

He originally thought he could go find Yang Xinhu on his own, but the reason they needed to find Yang Xinhu was to capture him alive, interrogate him, and find out what the Lin family was doing in the Holy Realm.

With help from people in the shadows, things should be easier.

So, regardless of whether Huangfu Chao was willing or not, Ming Cheng led the Dark Guard to Huajin Building with Lin Jinglong to track down Yang Xinhu's whereabouts.

Just as they set off.

The sky was gradually darkening.

Yang Xinhu, who was in a dark underground chamber, stood up and stretched his limbs, his body crackling like popping beans.

His face wore a fierce smile.

"Lin Jinglong, the Lin family!"

"One day, I'll settle accounts with you!"

"I have now mastered the basics of the Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Technique!"

"I'll seek revenge on you after I've made up for my shortcomings in martial arts!"

He was still resentful about his previous defeat to Lin Jinglong. After reflecting on it, he concluded that the reason he lost was because he relied too much on the power of the puppet.

When Lin Jinglong, with the help of others, hindered the puppet's progress and confronted it head-on with pure martial arts strength, he suffered a great loss.

This time, he specifically practiced a Heaven-rank Body Tempering Technique, which he also found in a ruin.

After mastering the basics, his close-combat skills had greatly improved, so he was no longer afraid of Lin Jinglong.

After stretching his muscles, Yang Xinhu took out a jade slip and tried to contact his subordinate Qin Weihao.
