The Elders' Council hoped to use his hatred for the Hidden Alliance to draw their attention, making it easier for their hidden pawns to carry out their plans.
But the prerequisite is that he must become the team leader in a glorious manner, which will be a slap in the face to the Hidden World Alliance.
After all, he was someone with a blood feud with the Hidden World Alliance, and his becoming the leader of the Elders' Council was clearly aimed at the Hidden World Alliance.
Given the level of pride among these bloodline families.
Once they sense the Elders' provocation, they will inevitably expend all their power to deal with Lin Jinglong.
This can serve to draw enemy fire.
"Although this matter is tricky, what I, Lin Jinglong, am least afraid of is fighting and killing people. I will pick a few who are good at fighting and beat them up, which will be enough to establish my authority."
Lin Jinglong shrugged and said.
Qin Suifeng and Ye Zhenshan smiled wryly.
"Aren't you oversimplifying things?"
Ye Zhenshan sighed.
"You should know that this time an eighth-level Martial Emperor wants to challenge you. You are only at the sixth level now. It would be impressive if you could defeat me, but how will you deal with an eighth-level one?"
Lin Jinglong pondered once again.
Eighth rank?
With his current level of cultivation, if he were to use the Lin family's secret techniques and combine them with the Nirvana Treasure Technique, he would be able to protect himself against an eighth-level opponent. If he were to successfully improve the True Blood Overlord Pill, he would even have the opportunity to kill an eighth-level opponent in person.
This leaves the other party with no chance to escape!
The ninth step is still an insurmountable mountain.
But there are no problems with the eighth rank.
"It's just a friendly spar. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to use the Nirvana Technique?"
While Lin Jinglong was pondering to himself.
Ge Ling'er's voice echoed in his mind.
“I can cooperate with you. When you fight, you can use the bloodline resonance method you used before to draw on the essence of my bloodline for your own use. This will surely allow you to defeat your opponent by surprise.”
"You're helping me willingly?"
Lin Jinglong looked at Ge Ling'er with some surprise.
The bloodline power stored within Ge Ling'er's body was like a giant reservoir. After all, within the Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins, she had absorbed the power of hundreds of elite martial artists, and even several high-level Martial Emperors, through Lin Jinglong.
If she were willing to be Lin Jinglong's hidden energy source, it would allow him to hold his own against eighth-tier opponents and even achieve a surprising victory!
She crossed her arms and pouted.
"A fifty-year-old Scale Blood Pill!"
Lin Jinglong nodded slightly to her.
Although borrowing Ge Ling'er's power during the sparring match might be considered cheating, his own strength was already comparable to an eighth-level fighter. Having Ge Ling'er secretly assist him only made the scene more interesting.
Only in this way can one truly stand out.
Enrage the Hidden World Alliance!
"It's safer to defeat an eighth-tier opponent while covered in injuries and in a sorry state, as long as no one sees through it."
Lin Jinglong thought to himself with a slight guilty conscience.
After he finished thinking, he said to the people in front of him, "Go and inform the martial artists of the major mountains, and find a place for me to hold a group meeting!"
"They will definitely challenge you at the meeting!"
Ye Zhenshan said in surprise.
Lin Jinglong nodded.
"I'm going to accept their challenge!"
"If I don't subdue them, how can they obey my orders after entering Qingxu Cave Heaven? How can I solidify my position as the leader?"
Lin Jinglong appeared very resolute.
"But……"
"Ye Zhenshan, this is the special envoy's order!"
Lin Jinglong took out the black and red envoy token.
When the token was presented to him.
Ye Zhenshan was startled.
"Yes, sir! Ye Zhenshan accepts the order!"
He is a prime example of someone who was defeated and subdued by Lin Jinglong.
If he lacked the strength, even if he presented the special envoy's order, he would not act according to Lin Jinglong's orders. However, after admitting defeat, he could only accept Lin Jinglong's orders, unless the Medicine King Sect was not prepared to cooperate with the Elders' Council.
The news spread very quickly.
Through the channels of the Medicine King Sect and the Dragon Group, people from all sides have heard that Lin Jinglong is going to hold a collective meeting tonight.
All three hundred martial artists from the Elders' Council will participate.
In a low-key old house on the outskirts of Kyoto, several men in black robes looked at each other, and among them was Long Qi, dressed in simple clothes.
"Seventh Master, you're a veteran in our Dark Division. I'll be frank with you. Is Lin Jinglong, the one you picked, out of his mind?"
Beside the square table, a middle-aged man with a square face spoke up. He had a very deep scar on his face, which looked like the knife had almost sliced off half of his head.
Upon hearing this person speak, the other two men in black robes nodded repeatedly, looking as if they understood the point.
“Mingcheng, although you are the warden of Zhenwu Prison, you should be careful with your words. As far as I know, Lin Jinglong is not a petty person. If he finds out that you are talking about him behind his back, he will definitely come after you.”
Long Qi chuckled as he spoke.
Mingcheng curled his lip.
"What's wrong with what I said? He's just a low-level sixth-ranker, yet he hasn't been keeping a low profile lately. He even proactively announced that he'd be holding a group meeting. Although our several branches of the Dark Division won't cause him any trouble."
"But the Martial Academy and the Five Elements Family were not to be outdone, so Lin Jinglong's position as team leader was no longer secure."
"In that case, the Hidden World Alliance won't treat him as their primary enemy, but rather as a joke. Won't our plan fall apart?"
Long Qi shook his head silently upon hearing this.
“Mingcheng, you’ve been in Zhenwu Prison for too long and know too little about the outside world. Lin Jinglong’s strength… far exceeds your imagination. Neither those bookworms in the Martial Academy nor the Five Elements Spirit can do anything to him.”
"There's no need to discuss this further. Appointing him as the team leader was the Grand Elder's order, but the decision to have him convene a meeting and show off was actually mine."
The middle-aged man, referred to as Mingcheng, scratched his head.
"Both the Grand Elder and you have complete faith in him?"
Long Qi smiled without saying a word.
"Just you wait and see!"
besides.
The rooftop of a building deep in Kyoto.
The dozens of people gathered here were divided into different teams, all wearing the uniforms of different martial arts academies.
Among them was Wu Chengfeng, the chief disciple of Huayue Martial Arts School.
After being taught a lesson by Wu Shenji, he was let go by Lin Jinglong and his injuries were healed with a spiritual medicine. However, the healing time was too short, and he still looked like a bruised and swollen pig's head.
At this moment, he leaned close to a man in a Zhongshan suit.
“Senior Brother Qi, this is absolutely true. I have already fought Lin Jinglong and confirmed that he is only a sixth-level Martial Emperor, and is destined to be no match for you!”
The man in the Zhongshan suit who was called Senior Brother Qi.
He stood with his hands behind his back in front of the building, looking down at the dazzling night view of Kyoto.
"A sixth-tier Martial Emperor? If he's only sixth-tier, how could he be our leader? He must be extraordinary!"
"But no matter how extraordinary he is, he can't compare to Senior Brother Qi."
Wu Chengfeng stepped forward and flattered him.
The group of representatives from different martial arts academies behind him also offered words of flattery.
"Senior Brother Qi is a direct descendant of the Heavenly Mystery Martial Academy. He graduated with the best grades in history and has now become an eighth-level Martial Emperor."
"Even if Lin Jinglong tried his best, he couldn't compare to you!"
