Just as Luo Tianhe and the others were in despair, wondering how Lin Jinglong would treat them after his return,
The thing Lin Jinglong least wanted to see happened: another group of people rushed to the stone tablet at the top of the mountain from another mountain path.
There were about ten people.
The leader was a tall young man.
Dressed in brocade robes, he led his men to the summit, where he saw Luo Tianhe and the others, and his brows furrowed.
"Young Master, that is Luo Tianhe from Wanlong City."
"What level of strength?"
"It is said that he is a ninth-level Martial Emperor, but judging from his aura, he seems to be somewhere between a ninth-level Martial Emperor and a Martial Emperor."
"Then it doesn't matter."
The young man smiled slightly.
He didn't care whether the other party was a Martial Emperor or a Vajra Realm expert, since although he was also a Vajra Realm expert, he had an old servant of the Earth Profound Realm protecting him.
So he strode forward, ready to burst into the secret passage.
"Stop! Who let you in!"
Luo Tianhe's expression changed.
He was already afraid that Lin Jinglong would cause him trouble.
If these people are allowed into the passageway, wouldn't their negligence in guarding the passageway only exacerbate their already serious offense?
So, risking their lives, the group rushed over, along with the others from Wanlong City. After dealing with the remaining members of Tianxia Hall, killing or wounding more than half of them and forcing the rest to flee, they surrounded them.
"What? You, a mere Vajra Realm cultivator, dare to fight against someone from the Zhan family?"
"The Zhan family?"
The people of Wanlong City were startled.
It should be noted that although the Zhan family is not a member of the Hidden World Alliance, like the Huangfu family, they had left the Hidden World Alliance many years ago.
They possess powerful bloodline talents.
Legend has it that their family even has an ancestor at the Celestial Realm level, making them a force that ordinary people cannot afford to provoke.
Zhan Wushuang laughed heartily.
When he saw the expressions on the faces of these people.
Then you'll know your warning worked.
With a nonchalant expression, he waved his hand and said, "Fine, I won't bully you people of Wanlong City. You were the ones who opened this secret treasure, weren't you?"
"Once inside, any benefits can be shared equally."
"So this isn't treating you unfairly, is it?"
"no!"
Luo Tianhe immediately shook his head.
Zhan Wushuang's eyes widened.
"You, a mere Vajra Realm cultivator, dare to challenge us?"
An elderly man stepped forward.
His real name was Li Xuanwei, and he was furious at the moment.
"We don't have much time to waste on you. If you people from Wanlong City don't know what's good for you, then we'll have to take action."
He merely released a small portion of his energy.
After suppressing Luo Tianhe, his already precarious state of cultivation suddenly began to plummet.
It seems that it won't be long before he returns to the Martial Emperor realm.
Luo Tianhe's expression changed instantly, but he still gritted his teeth and growled, "Get ready for battle! Fight them! Wait for Master Lin to come back and help us!"
"Huh? Are you guys out of your minds?"
Li Xuanwei showed a slight look of surprise.
The tall young man at the head of the group suddenly paused, taken aback.
"Who is this 'Master Lin' you're talking about? Aren't you the city lord of Wanlong City?"
"Our Master Lin is called Lin Jinglong!"
"It was him?"
Zhan Wushuang's expression underwent a subtle change.
In reality, their condition wasn't much better. They had been driven here from another place, and another secret treasure held something more interesting to them.
However, there were two forces fighting fiercely over there, and each side had more than one person with strength above the Earth Profound Realm.
The Zhan family simply couldn't break into that secret treasure.
I just wanted to try my luck here.
But unexpectedly, he encountered Lin Jinglong.
"This guy's a real pain!"
Zhan Wushuang couldn't help but sigh.
As a family originating from the Hidden World Alliance, even though they have withdrawn from it, their information channels are still much more efficient than those of independent cultivators in remote places like Tianxia Hall.
They were well aware of Lin Jinglong's true strength.
"Even the two Saints of Wind and Thunder died at this person's hands. I'm afraid we shouldn't confront him head-on. Why don't we wait for him to return and talk to him?"
Li Xuanwei whispered a reminder.
Zhan Wushuang nodded repeatedly.
“Old Li is right, let’s talk to him.”
So the dozen or so of them stayed at the entrance of the stone tablet, not daring to go forward rashly. Not long after, they finally waited for Lin Jinglong to return.
Lin Jinglong and his companion appeared before Luo Tianhe.
Luo Tianhe braced himself and recounted what had happened, explaining that he and his companions had risked their lives to stop the group.
"However, in the end, it was thanks to your reputation, Master Lin. I didn't expect that after I mentioned your name, neither the young master of the Zhan family nor Elder Li, who was at the Earth Profound Realm, dared to rush in again."
Luo Tianhe was flattering him.
But at the same time, he was speaking from the heart.
After all, the mere mention of Lin Jinglong's name was enough to deter them from making a move, which was enough to demonstrate Lin Jinglong's formidable reputation.
Ironically, he had even planned to attack Lin Jingle before, so it's no wonder he paid such a heavy price.
Lin Jinglong glanced at Zhan Wushuang and the others not far away.
A hint of ferocity flashed across his eyes.
"I finally managed to unlock this secret treasure, but I don't know what the Qian family found inside. How did the Zhan family have the audacity to come and talk to me?"
Lin Jinglong thought to himself silently.
Meanwhile, Ge Ling'er stepped forward with her sword.
