"You all saw it, this kid attacked us first. If we kill or cripple him, the head of the sect shouldn't blame us, right?"

Three fourth-tier True Monarchs and one fifth-tier True Monarch—this level of combat power is more than enough, even against elders of the five major sects like Wan Liancheng, who can also use the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Even if it's impossible to kill the opponent directly.

But defeating the opponent should not be a problem.

Therefore, in Li Ao's view, they had no chance of losing. The reason Lin Ye left Lin Jinglong here was probably because he did not expect Lin Jinglong to take the initiative to make a move.

At least that's how they see it.

Meanwhile, in the dense forest not far away, Lin Ye, who seemed to have already left, was also watching the battle. He wanted to know what level of combat power Lin Jinglong could unleash at this moment.

For him, cooperating with the nine clans of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm, or some hidden forces, was not an unacceptable thing.

He has no prejudice against any particular sectarian group.

What he really cared about was whether these people in the lower realm could unleash combat power that satisfied him.

They can become his pawns to complete the Blood Slaughter Society's mission!

In fact, he was someone who received training from the Blood Killing Society from a young age, later joined the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and rose to a high position.

The reason he has reached this point is not only because of his outstanding talent, but also because of his character.

A truly practical mindset.

They don't care about those superficial things.

So when he saw Lin Jinglong unleash his full power, and the roar of the Heavenly Dao erupted from his body, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.

"That's right. With this Heavenly Dao Core, I can't say for sure that we can defeat Li Ao and the others, but at least we can protect ourselves. In other words, Lin Jinglong now has the combat power of a sixth-level True Monarch."

"For a cultivator from the lower realm, this is already extremely rare, as it is not entirely the power of the Heavenly Dao core."

"His own bloodline is also extremely powerful!"

"It's just that he's limited by his cultivation level, so he can't fully unleash the power of his bloodline. Therefore, he can only use the core of the Heavenly Dao to suppress his opponent."

As a top-tier sixth-order True Monarch and a true disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Sect Master, Lin Ye possessed exceptional insight and a thorough understanding of the true combat strength of his several hall masters.

Seeing Lin Jinglong fighting alone against the others, the admiration in their eyes grew increasingly obvious.

However, he still sighed in the end.

"It is indeed not easy for people from the lower realm to reach this level. However, there is a problem: the mission of people from the lower realm is different from that of our Blood Slaughter Society. We aim to overthrow the major traditional forces in the upper realm."

"But they intend to ambush the entire Upper Realm!"

"Compared to the Blood Slaughter Society, their mission is clearly much more difficult. No matter how talented Lin Jinglong is, how could he possibly succeed?"

The gap between the two sides is simply too large!

Lin Ye was absolutely certain of this.

Therefore, he did not think Lin Jinglong would have a good ending. Including the nine clans of the Heavenly Dao, and even all cultivators in the lower realm, regardless of whether they had ambitions or not, they would eventually become food for the cultivators of the upper realm.

Therefore, in Lin Ye's mind, cooperating with Lin Jinglong and the others was only a temporary measure. When real danger came, those who should be abandoned in the lower realm would still have to be abandoned.

At this moment, Lin Jinglong's aura was bursting forth.

Despite being surrounded by four powerful figures, they were not at all at a disadvantage.

The guy named Li Ao's expression began to turn to shock and anger. He realized that he had already gone all out and even activated his strongest secret technique.

Even his Blood Killing Blade Technique couldn't shake Lin Jinglong.

The Heavenly Dao power in front of Lin Jinglong was like an invisible barrier, and the strongest barrier at that, making it impossible for him to cross.

It is because of the existence of this barrier.

This deprived him of all opportunities to break through Lin Jinglong's defenses.

As for the others around him, there's even less to say.

At this time, besides using the power of the Heavenly Dao as a shield, Lin Jinglong's strongest method was actually the Immortal Martial Golden Seal!

"If it weren't for the need to subdue these people and get them to help me deal with Wan Liancheng, and the fact that Lin Ye, who was lurking in the shadows, hadn't truly disappeared and was also observing the situation here, I really wouldn't have bothered to use the Immortal Martial Golden Seal."

Because this thing's characteristics are so obvious, the appearance of the Immortal Martial Golden Seal will inevitably make these people tremble, and even the fluctuations may attract the attention of others.

This makes Lin Jinglong's plan difficult to implement.

However, Lin Ye's observation from the shadows made Lin Jinglong realize that if they did not demonstrate sufficient value for cooperation, being abandoned by the Blood Killing Society would only be a matter of time.

Although he hadn't known Lin Ye for long, he understood from watching Lin Ye's quiet observation from the shadows that Lin Ye was probably the same kind of person as him.

Such a person wouldn't care about empty fame at all.

What they want is tangible benefits!

Lin Jinglong himself was the same.

Therefore, if he cannot defeat Li Ao and his group, Lin Ye might betray them at any time.

This is the passivity one faces when one's strength and influence are inferior to others; it is a fact that one cannot avoid.

Lin Jinglong snorted coldly and said to Li Ao, "Do you still want to continue fighting? I think you're all on your last legs."

The other three people beside Li Ao had already been injured and forced to retreat.

After being defeated and leaving the distance, he looked at Lin Jinglong in horror.

Although they had overestimated Lin Jinglong's combat strength as much as possible, he was still so terrifying even though he was just a first-level True Monarch.

"No wonder the headmaster wants us to obey his orders. If it were a one-on-one fight, even Li Ao, who has the highest cultivation level, would not be his match."

The other three looked horrified.

Someone couldn't help but speak up and say, "Li Ao, there's no point in continuing to fight. None of us are his match. He has already proven his fighting prowess."

Behind him were over a hundred other people, all members of their various branch halls. Their expressions were somewhat complicated, and many of them were still bothered by Lin Jinglong's identity as a member of a lower realm.

At this point, it was no longer their turn to say anything.

"Master Li, let's stop now."

Someone behind them offered another word of advice.

But this persuasion only fueled Li Ao's fighting spirit.

"What difficulties haven't we, the Blood Slaughter Society, seen? This Lin Jinglong has no right to act arrogantly here. There is absolutely no way he'll make me bow down!"

Li Ao appeared to have upheld the dignity of the Blood Slaughter Society.

However, his words displeased many people present.

The two sides are in a cooperative relationship and it's just a friendly competition, yet they insist on fighting to the death. That's really petty!
