When Lin Jinglong arrived at this sacred lake.

They saw Ge Ling'er covered in blood, surrounded by several martial artists. The middle-aged man in the lead wore a gray robe and held a soul banner in his hand.

They were trying their best to suppress Ge Ling'er.

She allowed the others present to attack her.

Ge Ling'er seemed to have lost her soul.

He stood there, stunned, completely motionless!

Countless attacks rained down on her. Although they weren't fatal, they drained her of all her blood. It wouldn't be long before she was dead!

Seeing this, Lin Jinglong flashed by and sent the ordinary martial artists who were besieging Ge Ling'er flying.

Only the middle-aged man in the gray robe seemed to have sensed the attack beforehand and dodged it directly.

Lin Jinglong raised his hand and pressed down on Ge Ling'er's head, channeling pure spiritual energy into her limbs and bones. Combined with the effects of her Heavenly Silkworm Technique, this helped her recover from her injuries.

Ge Ling'er also woke up from her dazed state.

Her eyes suddenly flashed with anger.

Mo Dongchen!

"who is he?"

Lin Jinglong asked a crucial question.

His gaze fell on the middle-aged man in the gray robe, and for some reason, the white soul banner in his hand felt somewhat familiar.

"This person, like me, is an ancient cultivator. Back when our Heavenly Silkworm Sect was still around, he killed many of our people. That thing in his hand is the Life Banner, which can forcibly devour and refine the souls of cultivators!"

"Hahaha! Ge Ling'er, back then it was either you killing me or me killing you. When the great calamity of heaven and earth descended, everyone had to find a way to accumulate resources to overcome the calamity. I killed a few cultivators from your Heavenly Silkworm Sect, wasn't that also to protect myself?"

Mo Dongchen revealed a playful smile.

"Besides, when I passed by the Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins where you were in seclusion, didn't I refrain from barging in and disturbing your cultivation?"

You should be thanking me!

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong finally remembered why the soul banner in his hand felt somewhat familiar. Wasn't it the palace where Lin Qingshuang and her husband lived in the ruins of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect?

Back then, the couple was being hunted down by an evil cultivator. They took the ancient evil artifact, the Life Banner, and hid in the ruins of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect. After that, they destroyed the evil artifact, but were trapped inside the ruins by the special effect of the Life Banner.

"So you're the ancient evil cultivator who hunted down Lin Qingshuang and her husband?"

Lin Jinglong looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with curiosity.

"Lin Qingshuang?"

The man narrowed his eyes.

He gave Lin Jinglong a long, careful look.

It was clear that the person in front of him was just an ordinary Vajra Realm martial artist. Although his aura was strong, he could not escape the category of a martial artist.

"You also have the blood of the Lin family flowing through your veins, but it's not quite the same as Lin Ruchu's. How did you come to know Lin Qingshuang?"

Mo Dongchen felt a burning hatred whenever he thought of that name. Back then, he used a secret technique to sleep in a tortoise-like state for a full five thousand years in an ancient ruin.

When I woke up, I found that my magical artifact, the Life Banner, was gone. After finally finding it, the couple wanted to destroy it!

So he made a deal with the Lin family.

Without offending Lin Ruchu, they had Lin lure the couple out, then chased them down, only to find they had escaped into the ruins of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect.

Mo Dongchen was wary of Ge Ling'er, who was asleep at the time, and dared not enter the ruins. So he could only watch as his magical treasure was destroyed by Lin Qingshuang and her husband.

"How I met them is not important, what matters is... they have done me a favor, so you must die!"

Lin Jinglong's eyes turned cold.

This person's identity has been confirmed.

His perfected Lin family secret technique was taught to him by Lin Qingshuang, and his Golden Eyes of Many Treasures was a pupil technique taught to him by Qian Fusong.

Now that they have met the enemy who killed them.

Of course, we must settle accounts with Mo Dongchen!

Mo Dongchen sneered again, his gaze sweeping over Lin Jinglong and Ge Ling'er.

"You guys?"

"Fine, those two damned men!"

"This is a perfect opportunity to devour and refine your souls, increasing the number of wandering souls within my Life Banner!"

He shook the soul banner again.

The souls of the warriors around who claimed to be from the Human Emperor Society, whether dead or injured, were pulled and devoured by the Life Banner.

Everyone let out a terrified scream.

In an instant, thousands more vengeful spirits appeared, all rushing towards Lin Jinglong and his companion!

"Be careful, concentrate! This Spirit Banner is an evil object, extremely strange!"

Ge Ling'er looked solemn.

She originally thought that once she entered this sacred realm, she would be able to thrive with her talent, and indeed she was when facing ordinary martial artists.

But within this sacred realm, there are also ancient evil cultivators like Mo Dongchen, whose methods are incredibly mysterious.

Ge Ling'er was not entirely confident in dealing with this person.

But Lin Jinglong beside him stared expressionlessly at the charging ghosts.

"Get out of my way!"

Golden light shone from his body.

The Golden Light Mantra acted like a barrier, protecting him and Ge Ling'er. The evil spirits were kept several feet away, unable to get close. Anyone who approached the golden light would instantly vanish into thin air.

Mo Dongchen frowned.

"Your magic is quite good."

He discovered that he was actually being restrained by Lin Jinglong.

However, a sinister smile quickly appeared on his face.

"It would be such a waste not to bring such a promising talent like you into the Life Banner!"

Then, Lin Jinglong felt his soul being pulled, and a powerful aura swept through his limbs and bones, just like Ge Ling'er had before.

He also fell into a daze.
