“Your survival is not something given to you by others; you earned it yourselves. I am going to search for treasure on Fangzhang Mountain. If you behave well, I might spare your lives.”

Lin Jinglong said calmly.

He seemed to disregard these people's mistakes, even putting on a magnanimous act, but in reality, he was just trying to prevent the group of martial artists from causing trouble.

After all, if they continue to resist...

Then I really would have no choice but to kill.

Hearing Lin Jinglong's words, Luo Tianhe's expression turned bitter. After all, he had finally managed to cultivate to the Vajra Martial Emperor realm, and for this he had even absorbed the life force and potential of hundreds of martial artists, which could be said to have been a gamble.

The situation in Wanlong City is about to change drastically.

The purpose was to get rid of Lin Jinglong.

Who knew that her disguise would be exposed as soon as they met, and she would become a clown in Lin Jinglong's eyes.

He could only sigh deeply.

"Then we have no choice but to cooperate."

"very good."

Lin Jinglong patted him on the shoulder.

He then looked at the group of people from Wanlong City behind him.

They all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Afterwards, Qian Rushan led the Qian family to Lin Jinglong, all of them looking very happy.

"As expected of Master Lin, he's too strong!"

"These trash from Wanlong City actually dare to oppose Master Lin!"

"You fucking deserve to die!"

"I must teach you a lesson on behalf of Master Lin!"

Under the pretext of avenging Lin Jinglong, Qian Fuhai jumped out and slapped Luo Tianhe hard across the face.

"Smack!"

Luo Tianhe's face immediately turned red and swollen.

The dignified Lord of Wanlong City, who oversees the lives of millions, could only stare blankly, utterly unable to resist.

"What are you glaring at me for? If you glare at me again, I'll gouge your eyes out. We're Lin Ye's closest friends, and you're just a dog's lackey, understand?"

Qian Duolu also joined in, trying to scare Luo Tianhe.

"Yes, I understand!"

Luo Tianhe looked extremely frustrated.

Who knew that his attempt to kill Lin Jinglong would fail?

Now we can only let others bully us!

Lin Jinglong waved his hand.

"Let's put the past behind us for now. How about we tell you where that secret treasure you discovered is located?"

"Right at the top of the mountain, there is a very sturdy stone wall with ancient restrictions inside. Only by using a jade slip as a key to activate the mechanism and then opening the restrictions can one pass through."

"Walk!"

Lin Jinglong issued a brief order.

He led Ge Ling'er, the Qian family members, and a group of martial artists from Wanlong City back to the mountaintop.

That place is a platform.

It looks like a plaza.

At the end of the platform is a huge stone tablet, and in front of the stone tablet is a tunnel, which should be the location of the secret treasure that Qian mentioned.

However, after more than a hundred people went up the mountain.

But then I saw the scene I least wanted to see.

Seeing that a large number of people had gathered ahead, totaling more than a hundred, Luo Tianhe revealed a gloating expression on his face.

"Qian Rushan, it's all your fault for wasting our time. Otherwise, we would have retrieved the items from Master Lin's secret treasure long ago."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you even know how to break ancient seals, you bumpkin?"

Qian Rushan looked at Luo Tianhe with a mocking expression.

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe's expression darkened again.

"Who says I don't understand?"

"You don't know anything! You captured our Qian family members but didn't kill us, isn't it just so you can get us to help you break the seal?"

Qian Rushan mocked Luo Tianhe vehemently.

These words made his face turn greenish-blue, but he couldn't refute them. He really did think that way. After all, apart from their martial arts strength being stronger than the Qian family, the Wanlong City group was inferior to the Qian family in every other aspect.

Lin Jinglong squinted at the group of people in front of him.

The martial artists who remained nearby clearly noticed that another group of people was approaching, and quickly sent a representative to obstruct them.

"Gentlemen, we discovered this secret treasure first. Our Tianxia Hall has a Martial Emperor at the Earth Profound Realm overseeing it. If you don't want to cause trouble, you can leave now."

"A Martial Emperor at the Earth Profound Realm?"

Everyone nearby was stunned for a moment.

They all looked terrified.

The people of Wanlong City, in particular, were worried that a Martial Emperor of the Earth Profound Realm would take action against them, and they were also afraid that Lin Jinglong might have a change of heart and start a fight with someone from the Earth Profound Realm.

What if we use them as fuel?

Everyone looked terrified.

Luo Tianhe couldn't help but advise, "Master Lin, we can't afford to offend someone at the Earth Profound Realm. Why don't we retreat first?"

"Is the Earth Profound Realm so impressive?"

Qian Fuhai stepped forward.

He looked at the steward who had come to report.

"I thought it was some kind of powerful force. But speaking of which, your Tianxia Hall is no different from Wanlong City. You're just country bumpkins from some remote place."

"What did you say?"

"What's wrong with what I said? You've gone through all that trouble, how can you open the secret treasure without a key? Are you trying to force your way in by relying on your Earth Profound Realm cultivation?"

The middle-aged man who looked like a manager had a slightly embarrassed expression.

That's really what they think!

Qian Fuhai chuckled.

“I told you you country bumpkins, and I was right, but you’re not happy about it.”

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you have a secret key?"

The manager reprimanded him coldly.

Lin Jinglong suddenly walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Tianxia Hall, right? My name is Lin Jinglong, and I would like to discuss a cooperation with your Earthly Xuanwu Emperor."

"What kind of cooperation?"

Upon hearing Lin Jinglong's name, the man's expression remained unchanged, indicating that he had generally heard of this person, but he wanted to instill fear in Tianxia Hall.

Lin Jinglong clearly doesn't have that much fame yet.

After all, his most famous achievement was killing a Martial Emperor in the martial arts competition in Kyoto while holding the power of a ninth-level Martial Emperor. However, that was because he successfully restrained Tantai Kong, so people did not think he was that strong.

Another achievement was that at the beginning of the blood sacrifice, he charged to the front of the Drunken Dream Rebirth Formation with the Elders' Martial Seal, only to be swatted away by Lin Ruchu like a fly, and the Martial Seal was even shattered.

It quickly became a laughing stock among many emperors.

Everyone felt that Lin Jinglong was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Therefore, they didn't take him seriously at all.

Only those who know some inside information can truly understand Lin Jinglong's fighting strength.

Faced with the manager's questioning.

Lin Jinglong casually said, "I do have a key, but nobody knows what's inside the secret treasure. Why don't we all open it together and divide the contents equally between our two factions?"

The manager of Tianxia Hall frowned and began to think.

"Please allow me to go back and report."

"no problem."

Lin Jinglong raised his hand, signaling the other party to go back and consult.

Luo Tianhe and the others standing to the side had somewhat gloomy expressions; they had figured out Lin Jinglong's intentions.

"If the secret treasure is divided equally between the two sides, we in Wanlong City won't get a single cent. Lin Jinglong definitely won't share any of the benefits with us..."
