The others present, including representatives from dozens of smaller factions, were also from the Eternal Sect and could be considered members of the sect. At this moment, they all looked extremely embarrassed.

They didn't know what to say.

If given the chance, they would rather replace the Heavenly Blade Sect and, upon discovering Lin Youtian, directly report the news.

Instead of letting the Heavenly Blade Sect discover Lin Youtian.

They ended up letting the person escape!

After venting his anger, Qin Ba unleashed his fury.

He looked around and said grimly, "Keep searching. He must have left clues in the city. His appearance in Thousand Star City must mean he has something to do. We need to know what his plan is!"

"yes!"

The others around them also dispersed.

In the crowd, Qian Wu continued to conceal his true purpose, pondering how to cooperate with Lin Jinglong.

"This time, the Eternal Sect has already mobilized a large force. Master Lin is probably in big trouble. However, he does have an advantage, which is that others do not know his true strength. They think that four mere seventh-level True Monarchs can handle Master Lin? That's just wishful thinking!"

Qian Wu thought to himself quietly.

He knew that Lin Jinglong had already refined the second Heavenly Dao Core, and that it was a complete refinement, unlike others who simply obtained the Heavenly Dao Core and borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao.

It's about complete mastery!

Therefore, Lin Jinglong's true combat strength must be extremely terrifying.

And now it's already night.

The atmosphere in Thousand Star City was somber.

Qian Wu was also searching for Lin Jinglong's whereabouts, trying to contact him and discuss how to deal with the pursuit by the Eternal Sect.

Lin Jinglong himself had already entered the courtyard and was pushing open the door in front of him, intending to find Zhang Duan and assassinate him.

A sound suddenly came from behind.

An old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Jinglong with a mocking expression.

"Young man, you come here with murderous intent, looking for an old geezer like me. Do you think I can't detect your presence?"

Lin Jinglong stopped pressing his hand on the door.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Duan, who had suddenly appeared.

The other party had an extraordinary demeanor and an air of otherworldly grace. Although he had no hope of reaching the ninth level, his strength was undoubtedly formidable, and might not even be weaker than Qi Shenglong's.

Lin Jinglong, holding his silver spear, looked at him with a smile.

"Elder Zhang Duan?"

"It's me!"

Zhang Duan stared coldly at Lin Jinglong.

He didn't actually know this person, and he wasn't interested in anything happening in the outside world. After all, he was already old, and the eighth-level True Monarch was his limit. With his talent, it was destined that he would never be able to enter the ninth level.

He will soon die of old age.

As the person in charge of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Heavenly Dao Treasury, he naturally knew that Lin Jinglong's appearance here this time was probably also for the treasury.

He was just curious as to who had sent this person.

He looks like he's just a low-level True Monarch!

How dare he come looking for trouble?

Lin Jinglong then fell into deep thought.

He originally planned to launch a sneak attack, but he didn't expect to have already exposed his movements. So what should he do next?

Should we forcefully kill Zhang Duan?

The opponent is an eighth-level being. Even if he has the Heavenly Dao Spear, the Heavenly Dao power within it can still be used by me, but it's not that simple.

Eighth-tier True Lord...

And the Eternal Sect's pursuit from the shadows.

This made Lin Jinglong extremely nervous.

He was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to strike decisively!

Zhang Duan suddenly snorted coldly and said with a sneer, "What? Still unwilling to reveal your origins?"

"I know your goal is the Heavenly Treasure Vault."

"But you can't possibly get the treasure from me. Even if you have some trump cards, how could you possibly be my match?"

"The difference in our levels of understanding is simply too great!"

Zhang Duan said with a gloomy expression.

He originally didn't plan to make a move against Lin Jinglong, after all, he was too old, and if he were to attack him, the exertion on himself would be enormous.

They didn't have much time left to live.

If I were to attack Lin Jinglong and deplete my own energy, it would be a huge loss.

However, Lin Jinglong showed no intention of backing down.

They're still looking for an opportunity to take action!

This ignited a fire of anger within him, and he decided to punish Lin Jinglong.

He immediately took action to suppress Lin Jinglong.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far away, startling the two, including Lin Jinglong.

Qian Wu made his way to the vicinity.

He sensed that Lin Jinglong's Heavenly Dao Core was nearby, since he had also received a share of Lin Jinglong's power.

"Mr. Lin, are you here? Why don't you come out to see me?"

Qian Wu arrived near the courtyard in a very reckless manner.

"Hmm? Another helper has arrived?"

Zhang Duan suddenly felt a little dazed.

He was indeed old, and when he was at his most tense, he was suddenly startled, which made him feel relieved.

At that moment, Lin Jinglong suddenly appeared in front of him, a cold glint flashing before him.

"ah!"

Zhang Duan suddenly let out a wail.

Lin Jinglong appeared in front of him and thrust out hundreds of spears in succession. Cold light continuously bloomed on his body, turning into blood splattering out!

Amidst his groans, Zhang Duan didn't even have time to retaliate before being suppressed by the immense Heavenly Dao power that suddenly erupted from Lin Jinglong, leaving him severely injured.
