Three years ago, he was the young master of the most prominent family in the capital, but due to his grandfather's superstition, he was sent to a Taoist temple where he suffered hardship yet ma...
"You're talking nonsense!" Long Changfeng pointed at Qi Shenglong and said, "Elder, I suspect that this person has colluded with the Nine Heavenly Clans of the Lower Realm, and there is a guy named Qi Tianyang by his side who may be Lin Jinglong in disguise."
"Lin Jinglong is Lin Wudi's successor."
"The blood-transforming technique he possesses is a huge threat to all of us!"
With his accusation, everyone's attention turned to Lin Jinglong.
Qi Shenglong shook his head and said, "Qi Tianyang has no relation to the Nine Clans of Heavenly Dao. The two ninth-level elders have keen eyesight. You have seen him with your own eyes and know that he has no disguise."
"Even our Hall of Immortals is completely undisguised!"
"They are just a group of ordinary cultivators from the lower realms who were recruited by Tianxiao, and Tianxiao was recruited into the Tianlong Sect by me. Long Changfeng's accusations are still aimed at me."
He was certain that Lin Jinglong's disguise would not be seen through by the ninth-rank, since they did not possess powerful eye techniques.
There is no one in the Upper Realm who has mastered the ninth-level pupil technique, so there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
Lin Jinglong stood still, his heart beating a little faster, but he maintained his composure and did not arouse the suspicion of the two ninth-level beings.
Long Changfeng stared longingly at his own elder.
At this time, only this ninth-rank elder could make decisions for him.
Otherwise, even though their Eternal Sect's support has arrived with over a thousand people, they have already suffered a great loss this time. How can they get revenge?
After examining the body, the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder did not notice anything unusual about Lin Jinglong. He simply said with a grim face, "The only thing we can determine is that this person killed our Dragon Clan's direct descendant!"
That's my judgment.
"But that doesn't prove he is Lin Jinglong."
The elder sighed and shook his head.
Long Changfeng said confidently, "If we arrest him and interrogate him, we can find out the truth, right?"
Before the Dragon Clan's First Elder could speak...
Qi Shenglong slowly spoke again: "I suspect that you killed our eighth-level elder Zhang Duan. This matter is equally important, and I will also arrest you for investigation!"
"On what grounds?"
"Just because our Heavenly Treasure Vault was lost, our Elder Qin will definitely stand on our side. We didn't get enough of a fight before. If you have the guts, come and capture us. Our two sects will fight to the death!"
Qi Shenglong said firmly.
Elder Qin, standing to the side, had a deep look in his eyes. He exchanged a glance with the First Elder of the Long family, and the two shook their heads.
Going to war is not out of the question.
After all, the two major sects have had many years of open and covert struggles, and they have to fight a big battle from time to time. Although they lose hundreds or thousands of sect disciples each time, it also clears out some spots.
This will allow other qualified talents to join.
But this time the situation is different; none of these true ninth-tier high-ranking officials have any intention of making a move.
The eldest elder of the Long family slowly said, "The Heavenly Dao Record is about to appear. Although our Long family has suffered casualties and heavy losses today, I think it is not appropriate for the two families to continue the war."
"Qin Tai, what do you mean?"
"I think so too. We can put the investigation aside for now and wait quietly for the Heavenly Dao Record to change."
Qin Tai waved his hand.
The others present breathed a sigh of relief, but were also somewhat helpless, since whether they fought or made peace was not up to them, but rather up to the two ninth-level elders.
Long Changfeng opened his mouth, somewhat unwilling.
But he couldn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Qi Shenglong narrowed his eyes and glanced at Elder Qin Tai beside him, wondering what the other party was planning.
Then, after the people from the Eternal Sect left.
Qin Tai found Qi Shenglong and then glanced at Lin Jinglong beside him. He couldn't see anything unusual about him. This was clearly a member of the Qi clan and also a person from the Upper Realm.
He then examined the people in the Hall of Immortals.
The aura they exuded proved that they came from the lower realm, but there was no trace of disguise.
He didn't dwell on it any longer, but instead focused on another important matter.
He slowly said to Qi Shenglong, "A rich spiritual energy of the lower realm has appeared in that cave. It can be said that at least one Heavenly Dao Core and a Heavenly Dao Chart will appear tonight."
"What? Is this about to happen in the real world?"
Qi Shenglong exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Jinglong and the others were astonished to find that the cave, which the Eternal Sect had once used as a fishing spot and into which he had taken the bait, actually contained the Heavenly Dao Record!
He looked shocked.
Qin Tai snorted and said, "This time, as the sect leader, you failed to safeguard our Heavenly Dao Treasury. I don't care who has the treasure or who killed Zhang Duan. I just want an answer."
What was the result?
"Make up for the losses of our Heavenly Dragon Sect, otherwise you won't be able to be the sect leader."
"You want me to make it up to you?"
Qi Shenglong raised his voice.
This is absolutely outrageous!
He finally managed to seize the Heavenly Treasure Vault, and now he has to make up for it? Isn't that the same as stealing it for nothing?
Did Zhang Duan die in vain?
He glanced at Qin Tai again and asked curiously, "Elder Qin, isn't this a bit unfair? Zhang Duan lost the item, what does it have to do with me?"
"As the sect leader, this matter naturally concerns you."
After Qin Tai finished speaking, he waved his hand.
"There's no need to discuss this further. After all, the Heavenly Dao Record is about to appear, and everyone's attention is drawn to it. No one has time to investigate these minor details, so you must make up for it for us, no matter what method you use. Do you understand?"
Qi Shenglong looked thoughtful.
He tentatively said, "I suspect it was done by the Eternal Sect. Since Elder Qin thinks there's no need to investigate, can I make up for the losses from the Eternal Sect?"
He had already discerned the implied meaning in Qin Tai's words.
Qin Tai smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"I only care about the results, I've already said that."
"I see!"
Qi Shenglong laughed heartily.
He had considered taking action against the other major sects, seizing their Heavenly Treasure Vaults to strengthen his own foundation, but dealing with outsiders was ultimately riskier.
Others within the sect would also disagree.
But this time the situation has changed, and he and Long Changfeng have fallen into this state. It is destined that the two sides will not be able to resolve this peacefully. Even if the Heavenly Dao Record appears in the world, there will be a battle to the death.
It would have been better to just seize the Heavenly Treasure Vault before that happened.
After Qin Tai left, his gaze fell on Lin Jinglong, and he also recruited Lin Ye and Lian Shang.
"Do you know what to do next?"
Lin Jinglong and Lin Ye were both eager to try, after all, if they could get their hands on such a good thing as the Heavenly Treasure Vault, they would definitely reap a great reward.
Only Lian Shang, who is not in Qi Shenglong's camp.
He regretted going down the mountain too early today, as he had been taken advantage of by Qi Shenglong.
