Suddenly, a large hand reached out from inside the palace.
"Ancestor!"
Lin Yingyun let out a wail.
After his body was grabbed by the blood-red hand, it was instantly crushed into pieces, and not even a complete corpse could be preserved.
And that so-called once-in-a-millennium pure bloodline.
But Lin Ruchu extracted it.
It turned into a drop of blood.
It was pulled back into the depths of the palace by a large hand.
Old Zui watched this scene expressionlessly and nodded slightly.
"It's good that they've been recovered. This Lin Yingyun wasn't a living person to begin with. He was created using the evil magic of clay figures, and he incorporated the blood essence of many imperial princes and geniuses of the Lin family, as well as parts of their divine souls."
"Even so, his potential is still not as good as Lin Jinglong's, which means that the other person is the Lin family's once-in-a-millennium genius."
"It's a pity that it can't be used by the Lin family."
Old Zui took a sip of wine, explained Lin Yingyun's background, and then repeatedly expressed his feelings about Lin Jinglong.
Lin Ruchu remained silent for a moment in the palace.
"Hehe, no matter how good the talent is, it can't beat the unique effects of the Mud Man Technique. After dealing with Lin Jinglong, I will integrate his bloodline into this blood bead and create a new Lin family prodigy who will be unparalleled in the entire Hidden World Alliance!"
Lin Ruchu was unwilling to say more about the matter.
"Go and inform the other major imperial bloodline clans that the Holy Realm is about to open, including the news that Lin Jinglong has appeared in the Southern Border, and ask them to send imperial-level experts to the Southern Border."
Old Zui's eyes immediately lit up.
He understood that Lin Ruchu's purpose in inviting the other major imperial bloodline clans was to initiate the sacrifice to Tianbao City.
After all, only the entire Hidden World Alliance can shoulder such a huge responsibility together and resolve the aftereffects.
"I understand. I will inform Tantai Xiong and the others."
Old Zui nodded in satisfaction.
On the other side...
Lin Jinglong was unaware of the changes that the Elders' Council and the Lin family's actions would bring to the Southern Frontier.
He arrived at the Ying family's residence alone.
"I heard that Ying Xiongwei, the Martial Emperor of the Ying Clan, is already a Martial Emperor at the peak of the Vajra Realm. I hope this matter has nothing to do with him, otherwise it will be another fierce battle."
He naturally had no intention of fighting Ying Xiongwei himself.
Instead, the three Martial Emperor experts beside Situ Zhentian were all coming from the capital.
How could the Ying family, a small family, withstand such pressure?
"stop!"
A security guard in a black suit blocked his way at the entrance.
The security guard raised his hand to block his chest, his eyes cold.
Do you know where this place is?
"The Ying family!"
Lin Jinglong looked at him with a mocking expression.
The security guard raised an eyebrow.
He pointed to the manor behind him and said with a sneer, "Knowing this is our Ying family's territory, how dare you barge in? Did you make an appointment with our butler?"
"Make an appointment my ass!"
Although Lin Jinglong didn't know whether Situ Xue had been captured by the Ying family, Ying Qingyou had died at his hands, and the two sides didn't have a good relationship to begin with.
So, showing no mercy, he threw a punch at her.
The low-level martial arts security guard was instantly sent flying backward, rolling onto the lawn behind him. As he got up, he called out to the others in the manor.
Hundreds of martial artists immediately gathered around.
They were eyeing Lin Jinglong with predatory intent.
"Ying Xiongwei, come out and see me!"
Lin Jinglong stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.
Inside a villa in the middle of the estate.
Ying Xiongwei had a gloomy face. Beside him was a tall, thin old butler who also looked worried.
"I didn't expect Lin Jinglong to come to our door so quickly."
What are you worried about?
Across from them was a young man with a face full of hostility.
Ignoring the old steward's worries, he said to his somber grandfather, "We don't need to be afraid of Lin Jinglong at all. He's not even a Martial Emperor yet. Grandpa, you must have a way to deal with him. Besides, isn't our capture of Situ Xue also for the Lin family's plan?"
This person was Ying Qinghong, who had his happiness for the rest of his life cut short because he tried to harm Situ Xue.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xiongwei's expression grew even colder.
“You’re right. Lin Jinglong is nothing to be afraid of. We have the Lin family backing us!”
He snorted coldly and left the villa's lobby.
Soon, he saw Lin Jinglong in front of the crowd.
"Young man, what do you mean by causing trouble at the Ying family's residence?"
Ying Xiongwei looked at Lin Jinglong with a cold smile and questioned him.
Lin Jinglong, a mere ninth-level Martial Emperor, actually dared to cause trouble in his home, a Martial Emperor. He felt that Lin Jinglong had gone too far.
Where is Situ Xue?
Lin Jinglong stared at Ying Xiongwei and asked.
The old man feigned disdain.
"Where is she? How would I know?"
You're lying!
A golden light shone in Lin Jinglong's eyes.
He could tell the man was lying through his golden eyes!
Since they lied, it means that Situ Xue is indeed in the hands of the Ying family, or at least they know where she went!
"This Golden Eyes has saved me a lot of trouble. It can detect whether people are lying through subtle changes in their aura, and it is more accurate than a lie detector."
A cold smile appeared on Lin Jinglong's lips.
"I must warn you, Situ Xue's father is Situ Zhentian of Dark Star Auction House, you should know that, right?"
"Of course I know, but her disappearance really has nothing to do with me!"
"You've been caught lying, yet you're still being stubborn?"
Lin Jinglong looked at Ying Xiongwei impatiently.
This old man is utterly shameless!
But Ying Xiongwei sneered, "If I lied, that's just your side of the story. Does Situ Zhentian have to believe what you say?"
"Perhaps this is your way of getting revenge on me?"
"Young man, I haven't even settled the score with you for killing my grandson, yet you come to provoke me. Isn't that going too far?"
Ying Xiongwei turned the tables and accused Lin Jinglong of provocation.
"If you don't hand over the person, then we'll have no choice but to take action."
Lin Jinglong gave Ying Xiongwei a deep look.
"I heard from Ying Qingyou that you have been in seclusion for the past few years. Now it seems that it is because you were seriously injured that you were unable to exert the strength of the Martial Emperor realm?"
"What, what did you say?"
Ying Xiongwei suddenly panicked.
Situ Xue's affair was seen through by Lin Jinglong, and he could still remain stubborn. However, when his own health problems were exposed, Lin Jinglong also saw through them.
This caught him somewhat off guard.
Lin Jinglong looked at him with disdain.
This person likely has long-standing, hidden injuries that have never been healed, causing his physical condition to deteriorate. Despite being a Martial Emperor, he appears outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
Without timely treatment, he won't live long.
But Lin Jinglong could not treat him.
"Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!"
Lin Jinglong immediately took out the Five Elements Dragon Roar Blade.
The old steward's expression changed drastically, while the eunuch Ying Qinghong flew into a rage.
"How dare you lay a hand on the Ying family's property!"
