At this point, Zhang Duan was already starting to ramble incoherently, since he knew from the beginning what Lin Jinglong was after when he came to him.

The most valuable thing he possesses is nothing more than the Heavenly Dao Treasury. If one can seize his treasury, one can obtain a large amount of Heavenly Dao power.

It could cultivate a large sect!

Although it is not as powerful as the five major sects, it is enough to be a high-level sect.

But why would someone who can kill an eighth-level elder and seize the treasure vault need to seize his Heavenly Dao Treasure Vault just to create a high-level sect?

They can only be some ambitious people with ulterior motives.

They would do this for some shady secrets!

For example, the Blood Slaughter Society!

Zhang Duan couldn't help but wonder if this young man was from the Blood Slaughter Society.

But thinking about all of this now is pointless.

Because he has been completely blocked by Lin Jinglong.

After holding this position, they were plunged into a fierce battle!

Even escaping was impossible, because his injuries were already extremely severe.

Zhang Duan roared, his energy continuing to erupt.

Both the power of immortals and the power of the heavenly way erupted at this moment, and a large amount of the power of the heavenly way was also drawn out from the heavenly treasure trove he controlled.

This is his authority as the elder managing the treasure vault.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, he can use the power of the Heavenly Dao within the treasure vault to save his own life and repel those who attempt to seize the treasure vault.

Even if it involves a private vendetta.

He can also use the power of the Heavenly Treasure Vault to hinder the opponent's attack, which is also within his authority.

He was simply chosen to be the manager of the treasure trove.

Either all their enemies have been killed and dealt with, or they have never fought with anyone and have simply cultivated their way to the eighth level.

Zhang Duan was actually the former.

Although he no longer competes or fights for anything.

But in reality, when he was young, he relied on his murderous aura to fight his way to such a level.

Otherwise, given his background, he wouldn't have been able to acquire so many resources to advance himself to the eighth rank.

No matter how great you are when you're young.

At this point, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

He had already exhausted too much of his energy and was already quite old, even with the power of the Heavenly Treasure Vault.

In the end, he was no match for Lin Jinglong.

Lin Jinglong was almost about to unleash the Nirvana Technique, but fortunately, he managed to suppress the old man in the end.

There is also a very important reason.

"You shouldn't have used the Heavenly Treasury."

Lin Jinglong said in a calm tone.

Using the Blood Transformation Technique, he forcefully devoured the opponent's Heavenly Dao Power. His so-called Heavenly Dao Treasure Trove, on the contrary, became a supply for Lin Jinglong, constantly enhancing his combat strength.

The Blood Transformation Technique's devouring effect is incredibly powerful.

The vast amount of Heavenly Dao power stored in the Heavenly Dao Treasury will soon be used as supplies for Lin Jinglong.

Even his aura has changed significantly. With more power from the Heavenly Dao, his aura as a mortal from the lower realm has been concealed.

Even Qian Wu, who was standing to the side, noticed this change. His gaze became increasingly astonished as he realized that Lin Jinglong could not only easily refine and devour the power of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm, but also have the same effect on the Heavenly Dao in the upper realm.

Although it wasn't as swift as when it devoured the core of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm.

However, he could also quickly refine and absorb the energy during battle and convert it into his own combat power. Lin Jinglong's cultivation level continued to soar!

His combat strength has already reached the seventh level.

Using the Heavenly Dao Spear, he killed an eighth-level expert in one strike.

With the addition of the Heavenly Treasure Vault, he was about to soar to the eighth rank!

Zhang Duan was utterly desperate at this moment. He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Perhaps this is my karma, my karmic entanglement. Before I die, I just want to know, who sent you here, and what grudge do you have against me?"

Lin Jinglong did not give him an answer.

Instead, a single shot pierced his head.

After annihilating his primordial spirit, they seized a jade slip from his hand, containing an almost immense amount of Heavenly Dao power.

In reality, Zhang Duan and Qi Shenglong did have a history of conflict. Before Qi Shenglong was a high-level True Monarch or a sect leader, he had several clashes with Zhang Duan.

However, as Qi Shenglong's cultivation level improved, Zhang Duan stopped suppressing him, and the grudges between the two sides seemed to have been completely put aside.

Although Qi Shenglong did not use Lin Jinglong to take the life of this eighth-level elder out of past grudges, it is impossible to say that there was no element of revenge involved.

As to the exact percentage, that depends on Qi Shenglong himself.

Lin Jinglong had no interest in exploring the feud between the two.

After annihilating Zhang Duan's soul with a wave of his hand, he signaled Qian Wu to leave for the time being. He needed to continue to conceal his presence and, ideally, return to Thousand Star Mountain without alerting the Eternal Sect. Once he met Qi Shenglong, he would be safe.

After Qian Wu escaped from this place, apart from some mess, nothing particularly unusual seemed to have happened.

Only those present knew that an eighth-level cultivator had died here, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Heavenly Dao Treasure Vault had also been lost!

Lin Jinglong's figure vanished silently from the spot.

However, he soon realized that even if he changed his disguise again, it would be unlikely that he could escape from Tianxing City.

"This place has been sealed off. They've confirmed that I'm in the city, so they're going to search everyone in the city. It won't be long before they find me."

While Lin Jinglong was pondering.

He suddenly felt a gaze sweep over him.

"who?"

Lin Jinglong narrowed his eyes, his gaze radiating coldness.

Qi Shenglong's figure appeared silently, startling Lin Jinglong.

"You've been following me all along?"

"After you entered Tianxing City, I ended my conversation with Lin Ye and rushed over to find you as quickly as possible, because I was afraid something might happen to you."

Qi Shenglong smiled and said to Lin Jinglong.

His attitude was almost benevolent.

It's like a senior who cares about the younger generation.

Lin Jinglong casually tossed the jade slip over and said indifferently, "The Heavenly Dao Treasure Vault you requested is here. However, Sect Master Qi should give me an explanation on how to dispose of it afterwards, right?"

"No rush. You can take this jade slip first, absorb enough Heavenly Dao power, and then give me the rest."

"So generous?"

Lin Jinglong had just absorbed a portion of the power during the battle, but his capacity to absorb it meant that he couldn't absorb all the Heavenly Dao power in the treasure vault immediately. It would take at least a few days before he could absorb the agreed-upon half.

That's amazing enough for other people.

But for Lin Jinglong, it was a bit slow, which also shows that his ability to bear the power of the Heavenly Dao is already rare in the world.

Qi Shenglong then explained his subsequent plans.
