At this point, Huangfu Kong also fell silent.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Huangfu Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his agreement with his uncle was still valid.
He gave Lin Jinglong and the others a faint, cold smile.
"So that's what they were hiding. But I'll still control the Elders' Council. My uncle is on my side, at least he won't break his promise to me!"
His mood gradually became smug.
It was at this moment that Huangfu Kong finally spoke.
“It’s not that your idea is completely unreasonable. Lin Ruchu’s strength is unfathomable. If the elders are powerless to stop the Lin family, they can choose the path with the least loss.”
"Elder!"
Mingcheng and the other members of the secret service couldn't stand it anymore.
Why does Huangfu Kong also have this attitude?
However, Huangfu Kong added, "But you shouldn't stop Lin Jinglong and the others from entering the Saint Realm. At least you should let them try."
"But what if they anger Lin Ruchu and suffer even greater losses?"
Huangfu Qingming retorted, unconvinced.
“Several thousand people were sent to Lianyun Peak last night, and who knows how many more will die next. Lin Ruchu has long since lost his mind. What difference does it make whether we provoke him or not?”
Lin Jinglong looked at Huangfu Qingming with disdain.
"To put it bluntly, you also hope that Lin Ruchu's plan will succeed and that she can find the ancient secrets hidden in the Holy Realm, right?"
Lin Jinglong exposed his selfish motives, and Huangfu Qingming's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He looked at Huangfu Kong.
"Since you, Elder, are unwilling to break your agreement with me and even think my plan makes sense, then you should stand on my side. This is the order of the Elders' Council!"
He made a forceful demand of Huangfu Kong.
But Huangfu Kong just chuckled.
"I haven't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?"
“I am unwilling to break my promise to you, and I am powerless to stop you from taking control of the Elders Council. However, I am no longer the Grand Elder, but Huangfu Kong, so I will stand on Lin Jinglong’s side.”
"I want to lend him this Zhenwu Seal."
"He and Situ Zhentian and others can freely enter and leave Tianbao City. I will provide all the assistance."
"If you want to stop me, you'll have to get past me first."
Mingcheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Huangfu Kong still had a conscience.
Otherwise, if the entire council of elders were as pragmatic as Huangfu Qingming, it would be far too decadent.
"Uncle, you're cheating!"
"What? You want to attack me?"
Huangfu Kong glared at him.
Huangfu Qingming had no choice but to back down.
He pondered for a long time, then impatiently waved his hand and said, "Get lost. If you want to die, then go ahead."
"Don't blame me for not warning you."
"Even Situ Zhentian couldn't withstand a single move from Lin Ruchu. She's no ordinary Celestial Martial Emperor!"
“An old monster who has lived for a thousand years is not so easy to deal with. If you don’t believe me, fine!”
Huangfu Qingming was both warning them and venting his emotions, hoping they would simply die at Lin Ruchu's hands.
Lin Jinglong put away the Zhenwu Seal.
"The Grand Elder said he lent me the Zhenwu Seal, but now that this sacred artifact is in my hands, is there any reason for him to return it?"
He put the items into his sleeve and had no intention of returning them to the Elders' Council. In particular, the fact that someone like Huangfu Qingming was in power made him full of resentment towards the Elders' Council.
Soon after, Huangfu Kong's figure disappeared, but his residual power was still being slowly absorbed by Lin Jinglong through the Emperor Bone Golden Pill.
"If we get to the Holy Realm quickly enough, we might be able to find an opportunity to advance to the Emperor rank within the duration of the Emperor Bone Golden Pill's effects, and then attempt a breakthrough."
Lin Jinglong was already impatient.
Situ Zhentian was even more anxious than him. Under the complicated gazes of Huangfu Qingming and the others, the group of four rushed out of Tianbao City at top speed and headed towards Lianyun Peak.
On the way, Lin Jinglong encountered Bai Minglian, who had come to reunite with him. As the president of the White Lotus Society, he had been keeping an eye on the situation near Lianyun Peak for the past few days.
"We have also found out what happened last night. At least five thousand people were sent to Lianyun Peak by the major forces in the southern border."
"Not the Spirit Vein Valley?"
Lin Jinglong's heart sank.
Minglian sighed and said, "They learned from their last experience and were afraid that someone would come to cause trouble again, so they simply sent the people inside the Holy Realm to prevent them from trying to escape again."
Lin Jinglong and Situ Zhentian exchanged a glance.
"Never mind, we're going to enter the Holy Realm anyway. I hope Situ Xue is still alive."
Lin Jinglong and his group rushed into the mountains and forests.
Meanwhile, several forces, both inside and outside the Holy Realm, have gathered here, including the divine descendants family that Ge Ling'er sensed.
At the invitation of the Lin family, their reach finally extended to the core interests of the Great Xia Dynasty, namely this sacred realm.
A man in black robes, leading dozens of black-robed warriors, was heading towards the mountainside of Lianyun Peak.
“Mr. Kerr, someone is following us from behind.”
"Um?"
The grim-faced, white-haired old man from another race stopped and turned to look at the person behind him.
"So it was an elder from the Tantai family."
Kerr breathed a sigh of relief.
Besides Tantai Xiong, there were also members of several powerful imperial clans who had all arrived here. They had all received orders from Lin Ruchu, saying that the Holy Realm was about to open and that Lin Jinglong had come to get involved after appearing in the Southern Frontier.
"So it's you, you old dog from beyond the realm. Did you also hear that the Holy Realm has opened and want to take advantage of our Lin Clan?"
Lin Tianwei looked at Kerr with disdain.
What are you saying?
The phantom of Cerberus appeared behind Kerr.
He looked at Lin Tianwei with a gloomy expression.
Zhuge Qingcang stepped in to smooth things over.
"Everyone is here for the Holy Realm and Lin Jinglong. Before the Holy Realm opens, please do not start any conflicts!"
"Why don't we enter the sacred realm first and hear what the Lin family ancestor has to say? Everyone should try to cooperate."
"When the Holy Realm opens and the ancient secrets are revealed, that will be the time when we have a real chance to make a difference!"
Zhuge Qingcang stopped the crowd with a friendly smile.
The major families attached great importance to this event and sent Martial Emperor-level ancestors. At the same time, many powerful forces inside and outside the Southern Border also received Lin Ruchu's invitation, including some Emperor-level experts and even ancient cultivators hidden in the world.
Kerr glared at Lin Tianwei.
He snorted coldly and said, "I'm not here to take advantage of you. I'm here to avenge my grandson. If you know where Lin Jinglong is, remember to let me know."
Without waiting for any response from others.
A majestic voice echoed in the minds of everyone present.
Lin Ruchu transmitted her voice to everyone present.
"Including Lin Jinglong, four Martial Emperor-level combatants have entered the Lianyun Peak area."
"Kill these four before entering the Holy Realm!"
"Prevent the Holy Land Project from being sabotaged!"
