Huangfu Qingming's words were almost humiliating, causing Master Xuanling and many monks of Xuanling Temple to blush.

But that is indeed the case.

Huangfu Kong did not actually favor Lin Jinglong; in fact, he even saved Lin Jinglong's life, otherwise he would have already perished.

"That's right, a loss is a loss, I understand."

Xuanling took a deep breath.

He turned to look at Lin Jinglong, who was processing the secrets of heaven.

He didn't dare say anything more, and could only silently think in his heart that one day he must snatch that secret back!

At the same time, he also understood one thing.

Huangfu Kong promoted the Ten Clans of Heavenly Dao in order to use their combined strength to suppress dissidents and keep the scale of this battle for heavenly secrets within the limits that the Elders' Council and all living beings in the world could bear.

To avoid causing maximum chaos.

In the future, he and Lin Jinglong will even cooperate to use the organizational structure of the Elders' Council's million martial artists to seek more opportunities in the Heavenly Dao.

A mere dozen or so wisps of heavenly secrets...

"It's nothing!"

Xuanling could only console herself with this thought.

He even smiled faintly and said to Lin Jinglong with his palms together, "Benefactor Lin's methods are earth-shattering. My Xuanling Temple is ashamed of its inferiority. It was this humble monk who was too attached to appearances."

He suddenly regained his composure.

He even admitted his mistake.

Lin Jinglong chuckled.

"That's interesting. You have quite a broad perspective."

He patted Xuanling on the shoulder.

She whispered in his ear, "You don't need to be so polite with me. If you want revenge, do it anytime. But next time, you can accumulate more heavenly secrets. You only have nine strands left. Come back and take revenge on me when you have nine strands."

Xuanling's eye twitched twice.

He understood what Lin Jinglong meant.

They're trying to fatten him up before killing him!

He was filled with rage, but dared not say anything.

"I would never dare to retaliate against Benefactor Lin!"

"laugh!"

Lin Jinglong shook his head dismissively.

Lin Jinglong didn't believe a single word this guy said.

Although Xuanling was spared today, there are far too many changes in Kyoto. The structure of the ten Heavenly Clans plus an Elder Council has only just been finalized.

Something unexpected is bound to happen next.

That will be the time for him to eliminate them completely.

"I owe you a lot of face this time."

Lin Jinglong and Huangfu Kong walked out of the Xuanling Temple Cave. On the way, Huangfu Kong looked at Lin Jinglong with gratitude.

Huangfu Qingming, who was standing to the side, was stunned by these words.

Logically speaking, Lin Jinglong had only just broken through to the Supreme Realm. Huangfu Kong had already killed three martial artists of this level in the past month.

They even killed two cultivators at the Dao Integration stage.

Why be so respectful to Lin Jinglong?

But when he thought about how Lin Jinglong had single-handedly stormed into Xuanling Temple and almost killed all the Xuanling monks, he realized that Lin Jinglong had done it all.

Ultimately, it's because Lin Jinglong's strength is too overwhelming!

"Tsk! I'm so envious!"

Huangfu Qingming, as the former acting elder, also fantasized about one day being able to wield power over the world and gain the respect of everyone, even his own uncle would have to look up to him.

But it seems that only Lin Jinglong can do all of this.

Listening to Huangfu Kong's polite words, Lin Jinglong glanced at him and transmitted his voice, saying, "If it were just about letting Xuanling Temple draw attention, that would be fine, but I think the plan of the Ten Heavenly Clans is not that simple, is it?"

"Following the same line of thought, could it be that the Ten Clans of Heavenly Dao are also a smokescreen you've put out to deceive others?"

"Huangfu Kong, what other tricks have you prepared?"

From the very beginning, Lin Jinglong did not believe Huangfu Kong's proposed Ten Clans of Heaven plan, because it was an alliance destined to fall apart.

How long can a ten-party alliance without absolute checks and balances last?

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Kong shook his head meaningfully.

"The Heavenly Dao Ten Clans Plan is not as simple as it sounds, but it's not as complicated as you think either. It's just that it's not convenient to tell you the details right now, as I need to continue observing."

Lin Jinglong nodded.

It seems that even Huangfu Kong is not confident in fully controlling the development of the situation. It seems that this plan was only a prototype from the beginning and was destined to be full of twists and turns.

Just then.

Lin Jinglong suddenly received a message.

Long Qi handed over a jade slip and said in a low voice, "Someone wants to see you."

"who?"

“A woman named Tantai Yu is one of the few remaining geniuses of the Hidden World Alliance and also one of the Ten Heavenly Clans. However, she is from a branch of the Tantai family and her karmic ties with the Hidden World Alliance are not too deep. Perhaps you can cooperate.”

Lin Jinglong was stunned for a moment.

He took the jade slip from Long Qi's hand.

A clear and sweet voice reached my ears.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have returned to Kyoto and are interested in joining the Ten Clans of Heaven. I wonder if I could have the opportunity to talk to you?"

What do you want to talk about?

"Let's talk about the issues left behind by the reclusive family."

"You want revenge against me?"

"No!"

Tantai Yu looked extremely apprehensive.

She said helplessly, "The various forces of the hidden families have suffered heavy losses in the Holy Realm. All of this is due to your strength, Mr. Lin. How dare we, the remnants, seek revenge against you?"

Lin Jinglong pondered whether he should go see her.

Tantai Yu continued, "We, the remnants of this lineage, understand that the hidden families were once enemies of Mr. Lin, but it all started because of the sins committed by the Lin family!"

"So we arrested the last remaining members of the Lin family."
