"True Monarch Level 3? Isn't that still a low-level True Monarch?"

Lin Jinglong had a cold smile on his lips.

Before coming here, he was still somewhat apprehensive, after all, no one knew whether the person in charge here this time would be a top-level, powerful True Monarch.

However, when he heard that it was a low-ranking one...

Then I felt relieved.

"I'm curious, how dare a mere third-tier True Monarch come here to seize the dragon vein? Does he have a death wish?"

"You little brat..."

Even the Immortal Netherworld Daoist was somewhat shocked.

He thought the young man in front of him was far too arrogant.

What does it mean to be a mere third-tier True Lord?

That's a true immortal!

They were far beyond what these Dao Integration Supremes or Immortal Realm experts could compare to. With just a glance, the other party had the power to decide their life or death!

He suddenly realized something and said to his disciples, "Let's test these people's skills first. They seem so arrogant, perhaps they have a True Lord backing them up."

"Master, aren't they members of the Elders' Council? The True Monarchs of the Upper Realm ignore the Elders' Council and don't take them seriously at all. They shouldn't have any chance of getting help from the powerful figures of the Upper Realm, right?"

"Hehe, perhaps Huangfu Kong has already pledged allegiance to the True Lord of the Upper Realm? It's not impossible. You should go and give it a try."

Although Immortal Daoist was not exactly afraid of the Elders' Council, he was still somewhat wary of them, so he sent his disciples over to test their skills.

Thinking about their current predicament at the Immortal Netherworld Temple, all of which was done to gain the favor of the powerful True Monarchs of the Upper Realm, the young man named Chang Yi gritted his teeth.

They stepped forward voluntarily.

"Master, let me do it this time. I will definitely bring honor to our Immortal Netherworld Temple and teach these people a lesson!"

“Very good. I will also report the details of this matter to Immortal Master Tianxiao, and he will remember your name, Chang Yi.”

Hearing this, the other young disciples couldn't help but regret their actions. If they had stepped forward from the beginning, perhaps the True Lord would have remembered their names.

Unfortunately, this opportunity has already been missed.

At that moment, Chang Yi had already rushed out.

He took out a golden talisman and slapped it towards Lin Jinglong, uttering a sharp rebuke.

"Does a mere council of elders dare to come here and shout?"

"Offending the True Lord will be the most regrettable thing you've ever done in your life!"

"Prepare to die!"

His golden talisman landed in front of Lin Jinglong, but when the talisman took effect, an invisible barrier blocked it.

The golden light seemed to have been neutralized.

A slight sneer appeared on Lin Jinglong's face. He shook his head and said, "Such mixed immortal energy, it couldn't have been bestowed upon you by a True Monarch from the Upper Realm, could it?"

"They actually risked their lives working for their own family's precious child back then."

"Even dogs aren't behaved like this; it's utterly stupid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jinglong raised his hand and easily shattered the golden light of the talisman with a slap, which landed on the face of the young man named Chang Yi.

The young Taoist priest was no match for him at all.

Before he could even react, everything went black, and he died on the spot!

His body was then slapped back in front of Xianming.

Chang Yi had actually reached the peak of the Dao Integration Supreme Realm. Although he hadn't reached the Immortal Exile Realm, he was still a cultivator who had mastered immortal power. The talisman he had just used could easily suppress even an Immortal Exile Level 1 cultivator.

But unexpectedly, he encountered an oddball.

Immortal Daoist and his group were also caught off guard. When they saw the corpse on the ground, everyone's eyes widened, their breathing became rapid, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

"So what exactly happened?"

"Chang Yi was actually slapped to death!"

"Is this my imagination? Is it an illusion?"

"Chang Yi, is he really dead? Then who was it?"

"..."

The disciples behind Immortal Netherworld Daoist began to discuss among themselves.

They had previously regretted not stepping forward to seize the opportunity to perform, but now they showed an even stronger sense of regret.

Why would they fight over such a chance to die?

They've just asked for trouble!

As for Immortal Daoist, he felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face. His personal disciple had actually died in such a worthless way.

His face flushed red, and anger blazed in his eyes.

"Isn't your approach a bit too ruthless?"

"What do you mean by being resolute? You've become lackeys of the True Lord of the Upper Realm and seized the resources of the Elders' Council. That's what you call being resolute. I've never seen such a way of courting death."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Immortal Daoist shouted at Lin Jinglong.

"If there were no other way, would we be willing to submit to the Upper Realm? It's because your Elder Council is incompetent that you can't protect the resources of the Lower Realm. Whether it's this dragon vein or other spiritual veins, they will all be seized by the powerful beings of the Upper Realm!"

"Anyone who dares to resist will surely die at the hands of the True Lord!"

"You're the ones who're really asking for it!"

Huangfu Kong sighed and walked out.

“The road is made step by step. Since you are unwilling to stand with us, you are a lackey of the upper realm, and there is nothing more to say.”

After he finished speaking, he also unleashed the power of the nation's destiny, using immense force to suppress the Immortal Netherworld Daoist.

Like the other nine Heavenly Clans who have mastered the secrets of heaven, Huangfu Kong, although he lost the core of the Great Xia national destiny, can still control the power of the national destiny. It's just that the most crucial control button has fallen into Lin Jinglong's hands.

However, he was a rational person and also a person with a broad perspective. He knew that Lin Jinglong had obtained the complete core of the national destiny, and could play a greater role than him in controlling it.

He had no objection to this.

As the Immortal Daoist felt the overwhelming power of the triple Immortal Realm, he revealed an incredulous look.

"Impossible, aren't you, Huangfu Kong, a Supreme Being of the Dao Integration Realm?"

His expression was one of utter horror.

Having been a hidden second-level Immortal for many years, he had long been prepared to act arrogantly and domineeringly after descending the mountain. However, the arrival of the True Lord from the Upper Realm shattered his illusions.

But what he didn't expect was that Huangfu Kong's move completely overturned his worldview, as Huangfu Kong himself possessed the combat power of a third-level Immortal.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Kong revealed a faint, cold smile.

The reason he always concealed his cultivation level was simply to deal with a mysterious and powerful figure like Immortal Netherworld Daoist, who was hiding behind the scenes. However, both sides' plans failed.

The descent of powerful beings from the upper realm has changed everything.

For Immortal Daoist, something even more terrifying was yet to come. It wasn't until Lin Jinglong unleashed his full power that he realized the magnitude of his mistake.

Seeking refuge with the True Lord of the Upper Realm may not have been a mistake, and it was a temporary expedient, but going against the Elders Council was definitely a fatal error he made!
