Mishan's body collapsed to the ground.

Before his head was smashed by Lin Jinglong's punch, his face still retained the arrogant and smug look he had in life.

However, after his tragic death.

All that remained of him was a dark, primordial spirit.

The powerful primordial spirit of the Celestial Martial Emperor was struggling in Lin Jinglong's hands, but under the control of the Spirit Binding and Commanding ability, even if he struggled, it would be of no use.

"Who are you? Who exactly are you?!"

Mi Shang's primordial spirit let out a horrified cry.

He discovered that even though he had been ambushed and killed, his very soul was still under the control of this person.

The remaining monks of Xuanling Temple nearby.

They all stared at Lin Jinglong with shocked and horrified eyes.

At this moment, Ge Ling'er and Mi Tong appeared.

Seeing that his senior brother had become a corpse, and even his primordial spirit had been controlled by Lin Jinglong, he was shocked.

Mitong also looked bitter.

He stepped forward and said awkwardly, "Fellow disciples, this person is Lin Jinglong. He was one of the participants in the great battle that the Fourth Elder and I witnessed a month ago. He was the one who repelled Lin Ruchu and stopped the Immortal Soul Devouring Array from devouring millions of dead souls."

"It was him?"

Mi Shang was increasingly shocked.

So it was this person!

Then it's understandable that I was instantly killed and my primordial spirit was controlled.

But he was still filled with resentment.

He died at Lin Jinglong's hands in a single exchange!

He suddenly gritted his teeth and growled at Lin Jinglong, "You are considered a strong person, and it is said that you are the leader of the Heavenly Dao Supreme Alliance. If you do not want to antagonize our Xuanling Temple, then release me immediately!"

"Heh, so what if we've become enemies? I've already killed you, so destroying your spirit along with you would be a piece of cake."

Lin Jinglong looked at him with disdain.

The people of Xuanling Temple have an inflated sense of self-importance, always thinking that their name alone can terrify others.

But Lin Jinglong didn't pay any attention to them.

Mishan was extremely angry at this point.

His other junior brothers also came over.

They were eyeing Lin Jinglong with predatory intent.

"Don't think you're anything special just because you broke the Immortal Soul Devouring Array a month ago. Our Xuanling Temple is the largest hidden force in the world, and our strength is beyond your imagination. If you don't release our senior brother, we'll have to take action!"

"Go ahead and try!" Lin Jinglong looked at them provocatively. "That was just an appetizer. You want to steal my Heavenly Dao opportunity and even kill my junior sister to silence her."

Do you think I'll let Xuanling Temple off the hook?

Lin Jinglong became increasingly disdainful.

Before him appeared an incomparably powerful true spirit avatar, whose oppressive aura intimidated the monks of Xuanling Temple. Their evil and malevolent arts were completely suppressed when faced with Lin Jinglong's true spirit avatar.

They were caught in a fierce battle.

Several people died instantly.

The Yin spirit that Lin Jinglong had captured was also imprisoned in the Tongtian Road Guide, with the intention of interrogating it in detail later.

Lin Jinglong had his True Spirit Body strangle them.

He entered the main hall alone.

"Senior brother!"

Nangong Hongwu rushed to Lin Jinglong's side.

She looked very aggrieved.

"Senior brother, I almost died at their hands."

"You've had a tough time, but how did they manage to catch up with you? I heard from Elder Ge that this place is quite safe, isn't it?"

"Then you have to blame the old man!"

Nangong Hongwu pointed at Yang Changshan and complained to Lin Jinglong.

Lin Jinglong's gaze fell on this person.

I don't remember him. He was a Martial Emperor at the Earth Profound Realm.

Yang Changshan was so frightened by what happened after Lin Jinglong appeared that he trembled with fear. He opened his mouth but couldn't even utter a word.

Lin Jinglong terrified them.

Meanwhile, Nangong Hongwu continued to file complaints.

After explaining what had happened, she continued, feeling wronged, "If my senior brother hadn't arrived in time, I would have been killed by this informant."

Lin Jinglong's face had turned gloomy.

"It seems that our Azure Dragon Temple has been relatively unknown for so many years, making you think we are easy to bully. For the sake of a mere Xuanling Temple, you actually tried to harm my junior sister!"

"Master Lin, I was wrong!"

Yang Changshan had no idea that Lin Jinglong would arrive so quickly, and that he would be so powerful.

He rushed straight to Lin Jinglong and knelt on the ground.

He looked at Lin Jinglong with a face full of shame and pain.

Pray for his forgiveness.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall outside.

The dozen or so monks of Xuanling Temple had already suffered heavy losses, and screams of agony echoed continuously. The incomparably powerful golden-armored deity was enough to shake the minds of everyone.

Yang Changshan was filled with regret at this moment.

He never dreamed of this.

Lin Jinglong is incredibly powerful.

He knelt before Lin Jinglong, trying to escape his fate.

But when he met Lin Jinglong's gaze, he knew that this man would never let him go. In his final moments, he suddenly exclaimed, "You've come to seek the Heavenly Dao's opportunities. I've made arrangements at Chiyun Ridge, and I know how to enter that secret treasure!"

"Do you know how to open the hidden treasure?"

Nangong Hongwu suddenly became interested.

She stopped Lin Jinglong from killing him directly.

Yang Changshan nodded bitterly.

"The reason I brought my people to this Crimson Cloud City many years ago was because I discovered a secret treasure in Crimson Cloud Ridge. However, I have been unable to decipher it for many years. I only recently learned that the secret treasure was opened because the time was not right."

"After the cataclysmic changes in the world, I found a method in another ruin that I believe can be used to overcome the restrictions within the secret treasure."

"But before I could make a move, the people from Xuanling Temple had already appeared, so I could only return to Zhuangchiyun City discreetly."

This was his last resort to save his life.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jinglong pleadingly.

"Master Lin, if I teach you the method, can you spare my life?"

Lin Jinglong looked at him expressionlessly.

"Your method is in your head. Whether you live or die, I have a way to dig it out, so... I'll just send you on your way."

Lin Jinglong had no lingering affection for their past relationship, and they didn't have much of a connection anyway. He even betrayed his junior sister to Xuanling Temple.

He simply killed the other person with a single palm strike.

Furthermore, through the art of searching for spirits, they found a method to unlock the secret within his remnant soul.

"It turns out to be a small ancient formation that surpasses the ninth level. If the method is wrong, even the Xuanling Temple will be helpless. But Yang Changshan really has a way."

Looking at the array diagram in his mind, Lin Jinglong nodded in satisfaction.

Yang Changshan's remaining spirit glared resentfully at Lin Jinglong.

"I was already willing to teach you the method, and you still killed me! I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

It was at this time.

In the courtyard outside, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided. The True Spirit Body had successfully overwhelmed the monks of Xuanling Temple, turning them all into ferocious undead.
