The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Are you really not afraid?
Who was it that just vomited blood?
Lin Qiankun shifted his gaze, which fell towards the direction of Kyoto.
"Not to mention, the Elders' Council is holding the World Martial Arts Tournament with the entire Qingxu Cave Heaven as the prize, which is clearly intended to overturn the Great Xia Dynasty's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or structure of the Great Xia Dynasty)!"
"This is a crisis for the reclusive family, but also an opportunity. If you want to kill Lin Jinglong, why not make your move during the Martial Arts Tournament!"
"I have received word that the Elders' Council will invite Lin Jinglong to become the leader of the official camp, and he will be in charge of targeting our Hidden World Alliance!"
Lin Tianwei and Zhuge Zun exchanged a glance.
"Although Lin Jinglong is already at the sixth level of Martial Emperor, according to the information held by the Elders' Council, Lin Jinglong is only at the third level, right?"
"They actually dared to let Lin Jinglong lead the team?"
"Has the council of elders gone mad?!"
Lin Qiankun kept sneering.
"Whether it's the third or sixth rank, the elders have only one purpose in having him lead the team: to make Lin Jinglong a sharp blade, whose target is us, the group of stubborn old fogies in their eyes!"
"Perfect timing! I also want to see what methods Lin Jinglong will use to stop the encirclement and attack, now that all forces inside and outside the Great Xia have been mobilized!"
Lin Qiankun coughed twice, clutching his chest.
He suppressed his hatred and fear of Ge Ling'er.
He led his family members away from the dense forest.
Meanwhile, Lin Jinglong had already boarded the Dragon Group's vehicle, and Long Qi informed him of the same news while in the car.
"The organization has decided that you will be the leader of the Elders' camp in this World Martial Arts Tournament. Regardless of your ranking, you will definitely receive a reward."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong turned around and glanced at the forest behind the vehicle. The Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins hidden in the dense forest were an entire complete cave heaven, which could serve as the foundation for powerful families!
In addition, the resources within it are countless!
He has reached a verbal agreement with Dark Star Auction House and the Qian family to jointly develop the remaining resources within the ruins.
With his 200,000 points at the Dark Star Auction House, very few individuals in the world can surpass him in terms of wealth accumulation.
Only those from powerful and influential families with deep-rooted traditions could compare to him.
What reward can the Elders Council give me?
Lin Jinglong glanced at Long Qi and shrugged.
Faced with someone who had neither a lack of money nor cultivation resources, the elders seemed unable to offer any reward that could tempt Lin Jinglong.
Long Qi seemed to have been prepared for this.
"Guess who invited you to be the team leader this time?"
"you?"
Lin Jinglong looked at Long Qi suspiciously.
He simply smiled and shook his head without saying a word.
Lin Jinglong then speculated about the Fourth Elder, Zhong Lixiu, and even the Second Elder, Wei Xia.
The results were all wrong.
"It's Elder Huangfu Kong!"
"He's very interested in you and has promised you an Emperor Bone Golden Pill. You should know what that pill is, right?"
"The key elixir to achieve the status of a Martial Emperor!"
Lin Jinglong narrowed his eyes.
He couldn't understand why Elder Huangfu Kong was so interested in him, since he had never even met this elder before.
It is said that for many years, this elder has never asked about the specific affairs of the elders' council, leaving everything to the second elder, Wei Xia, to handle and resolve.
He himself secluded himself in an extremely remote place to cultivate.
"That's right, the Emperor Bone Golden Pill is a ninth-grade treasure pill, and it is also a necessity for achieving the Martial Emperor realm. In fact, the Grand Elder knows that your realm is advancing rapidly."
"Someone has already been sent to deliver the precious pill to you."
"What?"
Lin Jinglong was startled.
When he turned his head, he saw that Long Qi, who was sitting next to him, had taken out a jade box from his pocket. After opening it, a rich fragrance of elixir filled the carriage.
Ge Ling'er sat to the side, secretly heartbroken.
She suddenly turned her head, her true nature resurfacing. Her eyes were fixed on the ninth-grade precious pill, and she couldn't help but lick her lips and swallow hard.
Lin Jinglong did not accept the jade box.
Instead, he looked at Long Qi with suspicion.
"Seventh Master, give me a straight answer. What does the First Elder mean by this? I am only a sixth-level Martial Emperor. If we're talking about ability, the Elder Council can send a high-level martial artist who is much stronger than me to participate in the tournament, right?"
"This is the Grand Elder's intention. He rarely gives us specific instructions, but his choice of you must have a deeper meaning."
Long Qi closed the jade box to prevent Ge Ling'er from being unable to contain herself and rushing over to snatch the pill while drooling.
Even he himself...
They also made sure they were mentally prepared.
Only then did they willingly take out the elixir.
There's no way around it; it's a ninth-grade precious pill, and a key pill for achieving the Emperor rank. Who wouldn't be tempted?
He handed the jade box to Lin Jinglong.
"Take it. In my opinion, you would have participated in this martial arts tournament regardless of whether the Grand Elder invited you or not."
"That's hard to say."
Lin Jinglong did not accept it immediately.
Long Qi made a sarcastic remark.
"It seems you still think the Elders' Council's offer is too low. Well then, I'll give you another promise: if you survive the Martial Arts Tournament and win first place, the ownership of Qingxu Cave Heaven will also belong to you personally."
"You should know that the cave heaven is one of the seventy-two blessed lands of the Great Xia Dynasty, and its value far exceeds that of this Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins. Even in ancient times, it was a cultivation treasure that many cultivators risked their lives to seize!"
"If you can win, it's yours!"
Long Qi said something.
As she spoke, Ge Ling'er's eyes were filled with greed.
"Lin Jinglong, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"This old gentleman is giving you face, so accept it. Otherwise, you might not get another chance!"
"That's a paradise on earth!"
Lin Jinglong's eyes flashed.
That's right, this is a blessed land!
In terms of the abundance of spiritual energy, it is much stronger than the ruins of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect. Cultivating in that blessed land is equivalent to returning to the time before the separation of heaven and earth!
They practiced their spiritual cultivation there for a long time.
Let alone the Martial Emperor realm, Lin Jinglong is confident that he can achieve even higher realms!
"I never expected the Grand Elder to value me so much, giving me both a Golden Core and a blessed land. Is there really such a thing as a windfall?"
Lin Jinglong still had some doubts.
Long Qi appeared completely unperturbed.
"There's nothing to doubt. Just think of it as the Grand Elder spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones. Now the Elder Council has reached a consensus to take action against the Hidden World Alliance."
"If not enough talented individuals join the Elders' Council, with the Hidden World Alliance's resources, who can shake them?"
At this point, Long Qi suddenly lowered his voice.
"Don't doubt the Grand Elder's intentions. I can reveal a real secret to you. In reality, you are the sharp blade placed on the surface, but beneath the surface, there are many other martial artists on whom the Elders' Council places high hopes. They are the hidden arrows used to deal with the Hidden World Alliance!"
Only after hearing this did Lin Jinglong truly understand.
So all those benefits were given to him to draw the Hidden World Alliance's firepower, so that other ambushing forces could eliminate the Hidden World forces?
Long Qi looked slightly embarrassed at this moment.
"After all, you saved my life. Revealing this information would be against my rules. I can understand if you are unwilling to agree."
