Upon hearing this, Huangfu Qingming's face darkened.
Are they colluding with the Hidden World Alliance?
He was simply going with the flow.
He also faced many difficulties that others simply couldn't understand, after all, he had to prioritize the overall interests of the Elders Council!
"If you don't understand, that's fine, but it's also a fact that the Five Elements Spirit Clan betrayed the Elder Council. They've protected you for so long, and you still dare to bite back? You're courting death!"
Huangfu Qingming also felt a surge of anger.
Lin Qiankun exclaimed repeatedly, "Elder Qingming, hurry up and make your move! If we cooperate, Lin Jinglong will surely die!"
However, Huangfu Qingming still hesitated about whether to kill Lin Jinglong, since the Qingxu Cave Heaven in Lin Jinglong's possession was given to him by the Grand Elder Huangfu Kong.
This indicates that Huangfu Kong values this person highly.
And most importantly, he wasn't entirely confident.
If we can't kill Lin Jinglong, that will be a problem!
Just then, another powerful figure arrived. Accompanied by Situ Xue, Situ Zhentian, the behind-the-scenes boss of Dark Star Auction House, appeared outside the door.
He was a burly middle-aged man wearing a trench coat.
After entering the gate, Wu Shenji hurried over.
"Master! Something terrible has happened! The Lin family patriarch and Elder Qingming of the Elder Council have actually come to our door!"
"No need for nonsense, I have eyes to see!"
Situ Zhentian said impatiently.
Wu Shenji stood aside without saying a word.
The burly middle-aged man strode up to Lin Qiankun, grinning maliciously, and said, "Lin Qiankun, wasn't it you who just shook the defensive array of our Kyoto branch?"
"Situ Zhentian, what do you want to do?"
Lin Qiankun then shrank back.
Because Situ Zhentian's strength far surpasses his!
Even above Huangfu Qingming!
Just as he was about to back down.
Situ Zhentian has already made a decisive move.
A vicious slap landed on his face, and the ethereal tiger claws shattered Lin Qiankun's facial bones, almost tearing half of his face off.
A seemingly simple slap.
But it almost cost Lin Qiankun his life!
Seeing this, Lin Jinglong's pupils suddenly contracted. Compared to Feng Peng's previous attack, Situ Zhentian's strength was clearly far superior to his.
"ah!"
Lin Qiankun clutched his head and collapsed to the ground.
Half of his face was a bloody mess, and his brains were almost pulled out; blood was flowing all over his body.
"I'll teach you a lesson and spare your life because of your Lin family background."
"Get lost."
As Situ Zhentian spoke, he threw the rotten flesh from his palm onto the ground.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Huangfu Qingming.
"Elder Qingming, is there anything else?"
Huangfu Qingming's lips twitched slightly.
"It seems that your Dark Star Auction House is determined to favor Lin Jinglong?"
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Situ Zhentian shook his head with his hands behind his back.
“Mr. Lin is an important partner of our auction house. If anything happens to him, I will naturally stand by his side. However, I reprimanded Lin Qiankun because he violated the rules of the auction house.”
"Isn't this all his own fault?"
"very good!"
Huangfu Qingming let out a cold laugh.
He had been hesitant about killing Lin Jinglong, but after Situ Zhentian made his move, he realized he had no chance.
Although it's a bit embarrassing.
But he turned around and left.
Before leaving, he said to Lin Jinglong in a gloomy tone, "You are not a Martial Emperor yet, so there is no point in killing you. Only when you become a Martial Emperor will you be qualified to be my opponent."
After saying that, he quietly left.
As for Lin Qiankun, he scrambled out of the Dark Star Auction House, fearing that Situ Zhentian might suddenly change his mind and take his life.
Afterwards, led by his daughter, Situ Zhentian greeted Lin Jinglong. After exchanging pleasantries, they entered the reception room.
"I have found a place for you to rest in that Qingxu Cave Heaven, as Mr. Lin requested."
Where?
"Remains of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect".
Situ Zhentian offered a solution.
Lin Jinglong frowned slightly.
Relics of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect?
He had considered that place before, but in his opinion, the Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins were too close to the capital, and he could not trust either the Hidden World Alliance or the Elders' Council.
What if they steal it?
“Our Dark Star Auction House has a share of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins, and we will do our best to protect them. Although the ownership of Qingxu Cave Heaven belongs entirely to Mr. Lin, it is placed next to the Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins, so I can take care of it as well.”
"As for the treasures within the cave, once they are unearthed, if Mr. Lin doesn't find any of them suitable, he can certainly trade them with our Dark Star Auction House."
"I guarantee you a fair price!"
Situ Zhentian said with a smile.
Lin Jinglong shrugged. It seemed that this was the best solution. Without the protection of a powerful figure, the Hidden World Alliance would come looking for them as soon as Qingxu Cave Heaven appeared.
With Situ Zhentian watching over them, they were considered safe.
As payment for protecting Qingxu Cave, they have priority in acquiring the treasures within the cave.
Afterwards, Situ Zhentian brought up another matter.
"Besides our two families, the Duobao Qian family also owns shares in the Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruins. I've also heard that Mr. Lin has an agreement with them to help them explore an ancient secret realm."
"In fact, that secret realm was opened a few days ago, and it caused a great upheaval in the southern border region, even leading to the appearance of an ancient spiritual vein."
