As Lin Jinglong felt the incredibly violent sonic wave approaching, he shielded Wang Xiao in front of him, taking the brunt of the attack.

Tianxiao and the others have also returned to his side.

With a solemn expression, he said, "This person is the head of the Punishment Hall of the Eternal Sect. He has already reached the seventh level of cultivation. We are no match for him."

"There's no need to kill Wang Xiao, let's go back."

Tianxiao also didn't want to fight a seventh-tier expert.

With their current fighting strength, even if Lin Jinglong goes all out, he cannot change anything.

They are doomed to die!

Lin Jinglong, on the other hand, hadn't yet made a decision.

Then they heard someone behind them say coldly, "What are you talking about? The Eternal Sect surrounded you first, wanting to kill your people. Now they've been routed by our Heavenly Dragon Sect, and even the Hall Master of the Immortal Inquiry Hall has been captured."

What's the reason for releasing them?

"Not only can't we release him, we should also cut off his head to show everyone what happens when you offend the Heavenly Dragon Sect!"

The visitor was none other than Lian Shang.

Before Lin Ye could even speak, he had already begun to show his skills.

With an aura of dominance, he stood his ground against Qin Ba.

The others around them were also shocked. They all recognized Lian Shang and were surprised that someone of his status would personally participate in this event.

Lin Ye is also very well-known.

Although he hadn't spoken yet, everyone knew that the two of them represented the attitude of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

This time, things are unlikely to end well!

Lin Jinglong grabbed Wang Xiao, gave him a pitying look, and shook his head, saying, "It seems you can't escape death this time!"

"you……"

Wang Xiao was ashamed that Lin Jinglong dared to make sarcastic remarks to him. What was even more humiliating was that Lin Jinglong was clearly only a low-level True Monarch, yet he was able to capture him, a mid-level Perfect True Monarch. It was truly disgraceful!

Qin Ba's face darkened when he saw the two appear, but he still led Qian Wu and the others over.

The Punishment Hall is a top-tier hall within the Eternal Sect.

He has five subordinates who are at the sixth-level Great Perfection stage, and he himself is a seventh-level True Monarch.

Therefore, they are not afraid of these two heirs of the Heavenly Dragon Sect at all.

"What? Do you two think you have a chance to become the sect leaders of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, so you want to take this opportunity to show off to me?"

Qin Ba wore a mocking smile.

He casually said, "Within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they might care about the two of you, but here in our Eternal Sect, let alone the two of you heirs."

"Even if Qi Shenglong comes, I still won't give him any face!"

"Our Eternal Sect is the number one sect in the Upper Realm!"

"The Heavenly Dragon Sect is nothing but a load of rubbish!"

Qin Ba knew the seriousness of the matter. After Wang Xiao's defeat, their Eternal Sect had lost all face. If they could not recover, who would respect their Eternal Sect in the future?

Therefore, we must show our strength this time.

Forcefully overpower the two heirs!

If Lin Ye and Lian Shang don't show up, he only has one option: to rescue Wang Xiao and kill the people from the Immortal Hall.

In this way, although they lost face, they could at least vent their anger and maintain the prestige of the Eternal Sect that always seeks revenge.

But Lin Ye and his companion eventually had to participate.

This makes things a bit complicated.

But Qin Ba eventually came to a realization.

"Instead of destroying the Immortal Hall, it would be better to cripple these two heirs and diminish their prestige. Then, not many people will remember the Immortal Hall's defeat."

"They will only remember that the two heirs of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were humiliated and even crippled by my Punishment Hall!"

"We've gained both face and substance!"

Qin Ba thought to himself silently.

Although he knew very well that if he did this, it would be tantamount to actively provoking a war between the two major sects, and their sect had not had any conflict for over a hundred years.

But this time, neither side had a way out.

Either destroy the Immortal Hall to avenge the Immortal Inquiry Hall, or eliminate these two heirs to restore the prestige of the Eternal Sect!

Qian Wu, who was standing next to Qin Ba, secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Jinglong and said in a low voice, "Master Lin, what do you want me to do? If necessary, I can directly betray Qin Ba and seriously injure him!"

“If I’m not mistaken, what’s inside that cave is either the core of the Heavenly Dao or the Heavenly Dao Record. The fluctuations were so obvious, and they even resonated with your Heavenly Dao core.”

"If I help you obtain that thing, could you share one of the Heavenly Dao Cores with me?"

Qian Wu was extremely sincere about cooperating with Lin Jinglong, even giving up his status as an elder of the Eternal Sect, knowing that he would soon be able to reach the seventh rank.

To become a high-ranking elder like Qin Ba.

He could be considered on par with Lin Ye.

Lin Jinglong thought his suggestion was good, but then he glanced at Lin Ye and Lian Shang. Although their cultivation levels were lower, it did not mean that their combat strength was weaker than Qin Ba's.

"Let's see how things develop. There's a chance we can cooperate on that thing in the cave. Wait for my news."

"clear!"

Qian Wu became excited.

It seems that Lin Jinglong doesn't care about Qin Ba, but he is quite concerned about the item in the cave.

Therefore, the two sides are destined to reach a cooperation agreement.

Because Lin Jinglong and Lin Ye had not reached an agreement, the other party was unwilling to let Lin Jinglong investigate rashly.

Then Qian Wu would be a good partner.

At this moment, Qin Ba reprimanded Lin Ye and Lian Shang, and after the two were speechless, he turned his gaze to Lin Jinglong's face.

"Young man, release Wang Xiao first. I can guarantee you that if you release Wang Xiao, today's events will be considered as if they never happened. Otherwise, our Punishment Hall will fight your Immortal Hall to the death. If any of you can leave Tianxing Mountain, then I, Qin Ba, will admit my incompetence!"

"Whether you're capable or I'm capable, what does it have to do with me?"

Lin Jinglong responded with a sneer.

He glanced at Lin Ye, his eyes questioning.

Lin Ye nodded slightly.

He and Lian Shang had barely appeared when Qin Ba insulted them. Even if they were just rogue cultivators, let alone those carrying the prestige of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they could not accept such humiliation.

Qin Ba's mouth is so foul!

Therefore, after receiving Lin Ye's signal.

Without wasting words, Lin Jinglong crushed Wang Xiao's neck with a single palm strike, then used the power of the Heavenly Dao to cleanse Wang Xiao's limbs and bones, even destroying his Yin Spirit.

He threw the limp corpse back in front of Qin Ba.

"We can't give you the person, but we can have the corpse. Take it back to the Eternal Sect. Everyone here has seen it. This is what happens when you offend the Immortal Exile Hall. Even the Eternal Sect can't do anything about it!"

Lin Jinglong's words were extremely arrogant.

Tianxiao's face turned green.

He and Wan Liang and others around him looked at each other in bewilderment.

Each was helpless.

Even Shang looked at Lin Jinglong strangely.

This person seems more confident than the heir!

"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!"

Qin Ba was so angry that he trembled all over.

He had no choice but to rush over and kill Lin Jinglong!
