"Ah! It's Lin Jinglong! It really is Lin Jinglong!"

Long Cheng and the elders around him both showed expressions of extreme horror. To them, everything before them was like a nightmare.

Their worst fears came true.

They also realized that they had likely made a fatal mistake. They should have realized that the ninth-level cultivator they had never seen before might be Lin Jinglong.

After all, although the Upper Realm is vast, ninth-rank beings are extremely rare.

Most of them had already seen it before.

If a young ninth-level cultivator who has never been seen before suddenly appears, and seems to be just entering the ninth-level realm, then it is very likely that he is Lin Jinglong.

But they lack this awareness.

Therefore, they also paid a heavy price!

When a powerful aura locked onto them, both of them panicked and tried to escape.

The others nearby instinctively rushed towards the interior of the demonic mountain, where all ten Heavenly Dao Cores were located. Since this young man was already fighting with the two ninth-rank cultivators, it seemed unlikely that the battle would end anytime soon.

"As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. Since they've started fighting, let's go in and find the core of the Heavenly Dao. Maybe we can escape with the treasure."

One of them suddenly yelled.

His eyes were filled with a greedy gleam.

Lin Jinglong ignored them for the time being. The Demon Mountain wasn't very large, and once these people went in, they would probably be able to find the core of the Heavenly Dao very soon.

However, he wasn't in a hurry.

Once he finds these people, he can take them one by one without worrying about them running away. Even those at the eighth rank are extremely rare among them.

At this moment, the two ninth-level opponents in front of him were already in despair. Faced with Lin Jinglong's sudden attack, they cried out, "Lin Jinglong, what exactly do you want us to do?"

"It's very simple, hand over the Heavenly Dao Core within your bodies."

These two ninth-tier beings both possess the Heavenly Dao Core of the Eternal Sect. Although it is only a part of it, it is enough to be considered a Heavenly Dao Core at the ninth-tier level.

Lin Jinglong looked down at them.

The two exchanged a glance.

"If we hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao, we will lose our ninth-order realm, and even the Eternal Sect will punish us."

"So what? What does this have to do with me?"

Lin Jinglong frowned as he looked at him.

Left with no other option, Long Cheng could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

He handed over the core of the Heavenly Dao within his body, watching Lin Jinglong refine it in an instant, seemingly transforming it into the origin of the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm. Such a terrifying scene stunned him.

His fear of the Blood Transformation Technique and the invincible bloodline increased considerably, and he dared not utter a single word. The ninth-ranked person beside him was in the same boat.

He immediately handed over everything he owned.

Just when the two thought they were safe, Lin Jinglong seemed about to attack them again. In the last moments of his life, Long Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Don't kill us!"

Lin Jinglong's gaze shifted. He did indeed want to get rid of these two, even though their cultivation level had plummeted back to the eighth rank after losing their Heavenly Dao Core.

But it is also a threat to him.

There is no need to subdue the people of the Eternal Sect.

If possible, we should naturally exterminate them all.

However, in Dragon City, he wailed, "Our Eternal Sect still has several ninth-level elders. I know where they are, and I know what they want to do. I can help you find them."

"What is the ninth-level elder of the Eternal Sect doing?"

"They are searching for the largest Heavenly Dao Core within the Kunlun Mountains, which occupies 20% of the Heavenly Dao Origin in the lower realm. That is the most important intelligence our Eternal Sect has obtained, and it is also the last thing we can do after failing to seize the Heavenly Dao Record!"

Kunlun Mountains!

Lin Jinglong's gaze sharpened.

He looked intently at the two elders in front of him.

"You're not lying?"

If they could exchange such valuable intelligence, Lin Jinglong wouldn't mind sparing their lives. However, he would naturally need to verify whether his intelligence was correct.

If these two dare to lie, they will naturally still die.

Long Cheng nodded repeatedly and said, "I am a ninth-level elder of the Long clan. You killed Long Changfeng, making you both the sect leader of the Eternal Sect and my nephew. These plans were all agreed upon by me and them from the beginning!"

"I would never lie, I want to live!"

Screams echoed throughout Longcheng.

Lin Jinglong chuckled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Excellent, your intelligence is very good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the nameless ninth-level cultivator next to Long Cheng suddenly exploded. His Yin spirit appeared in front of Lin Jinglong and was about to beg for mercy when Lin Jinglong crushed him with his Soul Searching Technique.

Through the fragments of memory possessed by this person, relevant information was indeed obtained, confirming Longcheng's conjecture.

He glanced at the panicked Longcheng.

“You’re lucky you spoke first. Actually, the information you have is the same as his.”

Long Cheng gave a wry smile.

His own companion had died just like that.

Lin Jinglong's methods are too ruthless, aren't they?

He glanced again at the group of ordinary cultivators who were trying to seize the Heavenly Dao Core from within the Demon Mountain, and thought they were incredibly foolish.

As a dignified ninth-level elder of the Eternal Sect, he didn't even dare to make a move when facing Lin Jinglong, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

And they actually dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

As he had predicted, what happened next was exactly what happened: someone did indeed obtain the core of the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm.

However, no one could leave the Demon Mountain, because when Lin Jinglong appeared inside, he easily killed anyone who had seized the core of the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm and then seized their core as well.

"The demonic essence in this mountain was all refined by me. Since you are willing to find it for me, consider it your way of returning the favor. However, if you are unwilling to hand it over afterward, then you can only blame yourselves for courting death."

Lin Jinglong's voice echoed throughout the Demon Mountain.

Everyone was in a panic. Some had already chosen to give up, while others tried to find the core of the Heavenly Dao and then leave, but no one succeeded.

It was only half an hour.

Those who attempted to seize the treasure inside the Demon Mountain.

They all died at Lin Jinglong's hands!

After that, Lin Jinglong dragged the half-dead Longcheng and rushed towards Kunlun Mountain, where the Eternal Sect was located, at top speed. When he learned that this group of people had such a secret plan, a wave of killing intent surged in his heart.

"His spirit is relentless; no wonder he's a subordinate of Shenxiao."

Lin Jinglong muttered to himself.
