Meanwhile, outside this secret treasure, the chaotic battle between the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Blood Slaughter Society was coming to an end, with over three thousand elite Heavenly Dragon Sect members all killed.

Zhao Qimen alone crushed everything.

Qi Shenglong and his apprentice Lin Ye, mindful of their past identities, did not intervene but instead watched the scene unfold quietly.

Their eyes were filled with fear of Zhao Qimen. This guy was a madman. He had single-handedly slaughtered nearly a thousand people here, and the remaining two thousand were killed by his men.

Zhao Qimen originally did not need to go to this extent.

After all, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had already suffered heavy losses. Their Grand Elder, Wan Xing, was also seriously injured, and Qin Tai and Lian Feixiao were not in good condition either.

They were all severely injured and on the verge of death.

They hid in the back, not daring to approach any further.

They could only use their own Tianlong Sect members to die one by one to cover for them, until the Blood Slaughter Society had almost wiped out all the sect's elites they had brought.

Lian Feixiao was already seriously injured, and this time his injuries were even more severe. Looking at the mess of corpses around him, his face was completely panicked.

He exclaimed in shock, "What are we going to do? Almost all of our elite troops are dead, and the remaining members of the sect can't play a significant role either. Zhao Qimen is too strong!"

"We are no match for them at all. Does this mean that our Heavenly Dragon Sect will be wiped out today?"

"Elder, say something!"

Wan Xing, who had been ambushed and seriously injured from the very beginning, was now deathly pale. He looked around and saw Zhao Qimen still wantonly slaughtering his sect members.

A clear look of grief and indignation appeared in his eyes.

"How could this happen? How could this be!"

"Shouldn't our Heavenly Dragon Sect seize the benefits of the situation?"

"We were actually forced to the point of annihilating our sect!"

"What exactly is going on?"

His eyes trembled, and he broke down emotionally.

Qin Tai, standing to the side, complained, "I told you long ago that we should have cooperated with Lin Jinglong before. Although you rejected us afterward and we no longer had the opportunity to cooperate with Lin Jinglong, since that's the case, as the weaker party, we should cooperate with the other four major sects, and even bring in the Eternal Sect."

"Only by cooperating without holding grudges can we have a foundation to deal with Lin Jinglong and the others, instead of ending up in this state because of the Blood Killing Society."

"It's all your fault, Wan Xing, you idiot!"

Qin Tai simply couldn't hold on any longer.

As a ninth-rank elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, he should have been in a high position with great power and authority, able to make decisions on his own. However, many things in the Heavenly Dragon Sect were decided by Wan Xing, this foolish Grand Elder.

Before any major events occurred, no one else could see the flaws of Wan Xing, the foolish Grand Elder. After all, the Heavenly Dragon Sect was such a behemoth that it could make a fortune and thrive even if it was just left there.

But when things really came down to it, all of this was exposed. Wan Xing's existence was a threat to them.

He's not weak, he's just stupid!

Upon hearing what Qin Tai said, Wan Xing flew into a rage.

"Now you know you're blaming me? Why didn't you stick to your opinion from the beginning? Zhao Qimen's strength only increased so much because he cooperated with Lin Jinglong. Otherwise, how could I have lost to him?"

What do you mean by saying that?

Qin Tai glared at him coldly.

He had already had the same idea as Qi Shenglong: if Lin Jinglong appeared, they might as well defect, because staying here with Wan Xing was a dead end.

However, Wan Xing slowly said, "There is still a last resort. Our sect's patriarch will not stand by and watch our sect be destroyed."

"Isn't our ancestor already dead?"

"No, although our ancestor has perished, his divine soul still remains. Moreover, the core power of so many Heavenly Dao origins in our Heavenly Dragon Sect is controlled by our ancestor. Lin Jinglong must have devoured a lot of our Heavenly Dao origins, right?"

Wan Xing suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

Qin Tai paused for a moment, then nodded. Lin Jinglong had indeed devoured a lot of their Heavenly Dao essence. If the ancestor could control the core, then he could take back those essences.

But with their ancestor gone, can a mere wisp of his divine soul really affect Lin Jinglong?

At this moment, Wan Xing had already crushed a jade slip.

A white-robed divine soul appeared, and this divine soul quietly transformed into a phantom of a celestial dragon. After its appearance, the dragon's head looked around and swept over the Blood Slaughter Society members.

Finally, it landed on Wan Xing's face.

"Useless piece of trash!"

He only needed one glance to know what had happened here, and he was naturally very disappointed in a good-for-nothing like Wan Xing.

Wan Xing, looking embarrassed, didn't dare to say a word.

"Please, Ancestor, save us! Our Heavenly Dragon Sect is facing annihilation!"

The white celestial dragon's gaze fell upon Zhao Qimen with disdain, and then the aura of the Heavenly Dao's origin emanating from its body began to rise steadily.

Meanwhile, inside that cave.

Lin Jinglong was suddenly startled, realizing that a portion of the Heavenly Dao power within his body had been extracted back by the person who controlled the core.

He felt that he was in a weakened state.

At the same time, the Hidden Dragon True Monarch opposite him was already on the verge of death. He suddenly laughed and said, "Lin Jinglong, you haven't even killed me yet, and someone has already seized your Heavenly Dao Origin. You haven't mastered the core of the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, so you can't do anything to us in the end."

"If I kill you, will you be able to obtain the core?"

Lin Jinglong said in a deep voice.

Qianlong Zhenjun was furious. He roared, "Kill me and you will get the core. What good will it do? Shenxiao has been stripping everyone of their Heavenly Dao cores from the Upper Realm. You should focus on your own affairs. Why don't you just let me go?"

Before Lin Jinglong could respond, his aura began to weaken again. He then sensed the turmoil in the outside world and guessed that Zhao Qimen and the others had encountered some trouble.

At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Will led hundreds of puppet Heavenly Demons in a fierce attack on Lin Jinglong.

Lin Jinglong shook his head.

His gaze finally settled on the dying Qianlong Zhenjun.

"Your path has come to an end. Even if you master the core of the Heavenly Dao, it will be useless. In the end, it will still fall into the hands of Shenxiao. Before that happens, why not just hand it over to me?"

"Don't kill me!"

But it's all meaningless now.

Sensing the changes in the outside world, Lin Jinglong even considered temporarily avoiding conflict with the Heavenly Demon's will, but killing Qianlong Zhenjun was a must for him.

Therefore, after the attack, Qianlong died suddenly.

The raging Heavenly Dao essence within him, including that from both the upper and lower realms, was all devoured by Lin Jinglong using the Blood Transformation Technique. At the same time, the nearby demonic energy was also swept away by the Blood Transformation Technique!
