Inside the Yang family compound, an elderly man in a long robe was serving tea to Nangong Hongwu, Situ Zhentian, and some other helpers.

Nangong Hongwu held a whisk.

He looks somewhat ethereal and otherworldly.

Yang Changshan, sitting opposite her, also had a kind and even respectful attitude. After pouring tea, he offered a cup to Nangong Hongwu.

"Master Nangong has also descended the mountain. I wonder if Daoist Qinglong has also emerged from seclusion?"

"No, that's not true. My master is a free spirit who has no interest in what happens in the outside world."

Nangong Hongwu took a sip of tea and spoke casually.

Yang Changshan sighed.

He said meaningfully, "Now that the world is undergoing such a change, countless forces, both overt and covert, have started to move, creating a turbulent situation."

"Although I, Yang Changshan, was also single-mindedly pursuing the Dao back then, my aptitude was limited, and I ultimately stopped here."

Although he is a Martial Emperor of the Earth Profound Realm.

Before the opening of the Holy Realm, he was considered a hidden powerhouse in the Southern Border, but after this change, he can only be considered an ordinary martial artist.

"I originally thought that I could live out my days in peace in the southern borderlands with this family, but I didn't expect the world to change so drastically. I don't know how long we can enjoy this good life."

Yang Shangshan's tone remained full of worry.

Nangong Hongwu casually said, "You protected us this time, so I owe you a favor. When my senior brother arrives, I'll have him give you some benefits."

She heard from Ge Ling'er that Lin Jinglong had also finished his seclusion and emerged from the giant silkworm cocoon, so she was relieved and had nothing to worry about.

Yang Changshan smiled, revealing a grateful expression.

Meanwhile, outside the Yang family's gate, a group of about a dozen red-robed monks had already arrived.

They exuded a distinctly fierce aura.

Upon arriving at the Yang family's gate, a middle-aged monk named Mi Shang, with a gloomy face, kicked open the gate.

"boom!"

The entire Yang family was in an uproar after the gate was shattered.

Inside the main hall, everyone was alarmed.

Nangong Hongwu frowned and looked towards the door.

Situ Zhentian stood up. He knew that Nangong Hongwu was not good at fighting. He said in a low voice, "It seems that the Yang family is not simple. We have only been here for a short time, and the people from Xuanling Temple have already tracked us down."

Nangong Hongwu's gaze suddenly fell on Yang Changshan's face.

The head of the Yang family pretended to know nothing, but also looked at the dozen or so monks who had barged in with a look of surprise.

More than half of these people were Heavenly Emperors.

Yang Changshan clearly knew this scene would happen, because his acting skills were really not outstanding.

However, he still started to blame Nangong Hongwu verbally.

He sighed.

"We just said that our Yang family wanted to live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly this happened. Immortal Master Nangong, you have brought a calamity to our family."

"So you betrayed my whereabouts?"

Nangong Hongwu had already realized that he was acting.

Therefore, a clear anger appeared in her eyes.

She had no good feelings towards Yang Changshan at all. She had thought that the little bit of incense she had once shared with him would allow her to wait here for Lin Jinglong to appear.

Unexpectedly, Yang Changshan sold her out completely, and so quickly!

Nangong Hongwu was furious about this.

She was considered a successor of the Azure Dragon Temple, and the other party addressed her as a Celestial Master at every turn, but because of the threat from the Xuanling Temple, he actually sold her out.

Situ Zhentian and the others stood to the side.

They stood in the yard outside.

When Mi Shang saw Situ Zhentian blocking his way, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

“Situ Zhentian, owner of Dark Star Auction House, although you are now a Celestial Martial Emperor, your foundation is too shallow. You are far from qualified to stop our Xuanling Temple.”

"Then let's give it a try?"

Situ Zhentian is skilled in martial arts.

I intend to confront them head-on.

Nami glanced at him, her face somewhat gloomy.

“If you hand over Nangong Hongwu, we don’t intend to fight you. After all, Xuanling Temple has chosen to enter the world this time, and there will be many places where it will deal with your Dark Star Auction House.”

What if I don't move aside?

Situ Zhentian responded with a cold laugh.

Given their relationship with Lin Jinglong, how could they betray Nangong Hongwu so easily?

Mi Shang also sneered.

“If you don’t step aside, the Dark Star Auction House will change hands in the future. At worst, our Suspended Spirit Temple will send more people to swallow up your auction house.”

After he finished speaking, he walked forward.

The fierce aura emanating from him was extremely strong, which was enough to show that he was powerful.

Situ Zhentian's expression gradually became serious.

As for the people around Mi Shang, they were also at the Celestial Martial Emperor realm.

"There are a total of six Celestial Martial Emperors, and even the other monks from the Suspended Spirit Temple. Their combat power is also very strong. This matter is a bit troublesome."

Situ Zhentian's only thought right now is to stall for time.

Once Lin Jinglong arrives, everything will be resolved!

He now has no doubt about Lin Jinglong's strength, even though he and Ge Ling'er have both improved their cultivation levels in the past month.

In addition, there is their own inherent strength.

He was considered a strong figure among the Heavenly Emperors.

But he knew all too well how terrifying Lin Jinglong was.

Someone as extraordinary as myself can't gain any advantage over Lin Jinglong, so as long as he can arrive in time, then all the trouble won't be trouble at all.
