Lin Jinglong dared to take the risk of entering to search for the Heavenly Treasure Vault, and even alarmed a ninth-level elder, because he had made thorough preparations.

All his current trump cards are insufficient to deal with a ninth-rank opponent.

Only by continuing to strengthen his power through this Heavenly Treasure Vault can he continue to improve his combat strength.

At this point, he had already reached the realm of a mid-level True Monarch.

In addition, the primal power boost from the Heavenly Dao Core makes his combat strength comparable to that of an eighth-tier cultivator.

Although it's still not enough, with the addition of a Heavenly Treasure Vault and the massive accumulation of Heavenly Dao power from the Upper Realm, how could we possibly fail to defeat a Ninth-Rank cultivator?

"Refine it for me, break through to the next realm!"

Lin Jinglong ignored Lin Ye's emotional statement.

Ye Chen, who was on the other side, was also taken aback. He said to the person next to him, "That kid is Lin Ye, the disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's sect leader, right?"

"That's him!"

The person who spoke up earlier looked excited.

He said excitedly, "We've caught them red-handed! The Tianlong Sect can't deny it this time. Let's arrest these people and go back to the Tianlong Sect to demand an explanation!"

Ye Chen also laughed heartily.

He said smugly to Lin Ye, "I never thought your Heavenly Dragon Sect would fall into such a state of decline. You lost your own Heavenly Dao Treasure Vault, and now you're trying to steal ours."

"And not only did they steal it, but they also got caught."

"Now that you've been caught, what's the point of saying anything?"

Lin Ye looked embarrassed and was covered in sweat.

Under normal circumstances, neither he nor Lin Jinglong would be able to fight against a ninth-tier opponent, while Lin Jinglong was frantically devouring the primal power within the Heavenly Dao Treasury.

Could it be that he really has a chance to fight against a ninth-rank opponent?

At this moment, everyone trapped on the scene, including the members of the Immortal Hall, heard Lin Jinglong's voice in their minds.

"After I make my move, you should find a chance to evacuate."

Huangfu Kong and the others were shocked.

They asked in astonishment.

"Are you really confident you can defeat a ninth-tier opponent?"

"We can't defeat him, but we can still shake off his pursuit."

Lin Jinglong felt the abundant source of the Heavenly Dao Treasury of the Eternal Sect and was already confident. Although the others were shocked, they really only had this one path to take.

On the other side, Ye Chen's expression suddenly darkened.

He also saw the change in Lin Jinglong's aura. This person was actually temporarily absorbing the power of their treasure vault. However, what surprised him was that the speed at which Lin Jinglong absorbed the treasure vault far exceeded his expectations.

Even a ninth-level expert couldn't achieve this level.

"And who is that person?"

He suddenly asked out of curiosity.

Those around him looked slightly confused. Someone who had confronted Qi Shenglong before suddenly spoke up: "This person is called Qi Tianyang, but our sect leader suspects that he is Lin Jinglong in disguise."

"That's right, this person is Lin Jinglong!"

Ye Chen's gaze sharpened.

If it were Lin Jinglong, then he would have made a huge profit this time. Neither Ye Lin's death nor the loss of the Heavenly Treasure Vault would matter.

The threat posed by the invincible bloodline and the Blood Transformation Technique made the Eternal Sect extremely wary. Even Shenxiao Zhenjun, the strongest among them, had once been defeated by Lin Wudi.

Therefore, they must deal with Lin Jinglong this time!

"The opportunity has presented itself, so there's no need to be polite with him; let's make our move!"

Ye Chen laughed heartily.

He felt his chance to shine had arrived.

He immediately led everyone to charge towards Lin Jinglong.

Meanwhile, Lian Shang, who had already escaped to a distant place, approached the Tianlong Sect's stronghold and inexplicably felt that something was not right.

He glanced back, his face tense.

"I'm back like this. What if the sect questions me? They promised not to mention my escape, but if they're all dead and I'm the only one alive, it'll be hard to explain."

Lian Shang knew that Ye Lin had left a backup plan and was destined not to let them easily obtain the Heavenly Treasure Vault, so he decided not to participate in the subsequent actions.

But he is, after all, one of the heirs and a sect leader. If he doesn’t have the courage to take any risks when something happens, how will he compete for the position of heir in the future?

Just as Lian Shang was hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

Why did you come back alone?

Qi Shenglong glared at Lian Shang and questioned him.

Lian Shang trembled instantly; he had been discovered!

He looked at Qi Shenglong awkwardly and shook his head, saying, "Sect Master, I... they are all dead. I didn't escape back. No, I did escape back, but it was out of necessity!"

"What did you say?"

Qi Shenglong never expected things to escalate to this extent.

He grabbed Lian Shang by the collar and said coldly, "What exactly happened?"

Even Shang trembled under his eighth-level pressure.

Qi Shenglong appears to be at the eighth level, but his true strength is unfathomable.

Even the ninth-rank elder behind him said that Qi Shenglong's actual combat strength was no weaker than the ninth rank, and he could rank among the top two among the sect leaders of the major sects.

Lian Shang's eyes flickered as he tried to weave a lie.

Qi Shenglong saw his fear and realized he was going to lie, so he said in a cold voice, "If you don't want me to use my soul-searching technique, you'd better tell the truth."

"Yes! I'll tell the truth right away!"

Lian Shang finally dared not lie.

He told everyone what had happened, including how Lin Ye and Lin Jinglong had told him he could leave, without hiding anything. He was ultimately terrified.

Qi Shenglong, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

"The people don't seem to be dead yet, but why would they suddenly provoke Lian Shang and make him leave that place? It seems there's something else going on."
