Although Tantai Ning was dressed in plain clothes and looked very simple, just an ordinary old man, he had a very imposing presence when he spoke.
After the stern shout, the martial artists on the summit dispersed.
Someone revealed a fawning smile and said respectfully, "Patriarch Tantai, you flatter us. We all know that you are a Celestial Martial Emperor. Now that the Ascension Platform has appeared in the world, we just want to see it for ourselves."
"How dare we compete with Patriarch Tantai for the Ascension Platform?"
The others nodded in agreement.
Hearing the flattering voice, Tantai Ning's expression softened slightly. He said calmly, "If it were any other opportunity, our Tantai family wouldn't bother competing with you for it."
"But this ascension platform is extremely important."
"We, the Hidden World Alliance, will not yield to anyone!"
As he spoke, he released a little bit of his aura, pushing the hundreds of people around him further away, causing the crowd to retreat and almost being pushed off the peak.
"What are you pushing for? What the hell are you pushing for?"
At the entrance to the mountain, Mingbai Lian was pushing her way into the crowd, while a group of White Lotus Society cultivators were also rushing in behind her.
This immediately triggered a barrage of curses from the crowd in front.
The Tantai family cleared out a space of several tens of feet in diameter in front of the secret gate in the core area, so that the others could only watch from the outside.
People kept pouring in, creating a massive crowd.
Everyone here is a martial artist, and those who have reached the Saint Realm are not weak either. No one is willing to give way to the other.
As Minglian squeezed in, she was scolded all the while.
But soon some people couldn't resist.
A punch came flying towards his face.
"A mere Martial Emperor, he doesn't understand any rules!"
The one who made the move was a Vajra Realm Martial Emperor.
If his fist had landed on Mingbai Lian's face, it would have left a mark she would never forget.
"Master Lin, save me!"
Lian shouted.
The reason he was pushing his way into the crowd was to clear a path for Lin Jinglong.
Lin Jinglong had already reached the middle of the crowd.
He laughed heartily, raised his hand and grabbed the fist of the person who had attacked him, dissipating his force and lifting him up, sending the Vajra Realm Martial Emperor flying into the air.
"Whoosh!"
A commotion erupted in the crowd.
How dare someone make a move in front of the Celestial Martial Emperor?
Standing guard in front of the secret treasure, preventing the group of martial artists from causing trouble, Tantai Ning frowned and looked at the crowd on his left.
The Tantai family members behind him were opening the secret treasure.
"At this crucial moment, someone is causing trouble?"
"court death!"
He fully unleashed the aura of a Celestial Martial Emperor.
He strode forward.
At that moment, the Vajra Realm Martial Emperor landed in a sorry state.
Lin Jinglong, who was in the middle of the crowd, also lost his patience and threw a punch forward, knocking dozens of people away. Although they did not die, they were injured.
"Where the hell did this lunatic come from?"
"The head of the Tantai family is here! Kill this man!"
"How dare you cause trouble here!"
"..."
The martial artist, forced to make way, cursed loudly.
Lin Jinglong, with his hands behind his back, led his men to the central core area, where they ran right into Tantai Ning.
"Who dares to cause trouble here?"
"I am Lin Jinglong."
After this name came out.
The voices of those pointing and cursing at him nearby all fell silent.
As the group spent more and more time in the sacred realm.
The more they learned about Lin Jinglong's strength, the better they understood it.
"Not long ago, Lin Jinglong defeated Huangfu Qingming, who is now the acting Grand Elder of the Elders' Council!"
"I heard that several Earth Profound Realm experts from the Heavenly Hall also died at his hands!"
"Not only that, there are also members of the Zhan family..."
Along his journey, Lin Jinglong had killed many people at the Earth Profound Realm. Those who happened to pass by or were hiding in the shadows and keeping watch would naturally see these events, giving them a new understanding of Lin Jinglong's strength.
"But this time he's facing Tantai Ning!"
The crowd pointed and whispered about Lin Jinglong.
They dared not reprimand them again.
However, he didn't think Lin Jinglong could survive in Tantai Ning's hands.
"You're the one who killed my son?"
Tantai Ning's eyes were filled with anger.
As the Celestial Martial Emperor of the family and the current head of the Tantai family, he intends to pass on his mantle and the burden of the family's future for hundreds of years to Tantai Kong.
After all, he was the most outstanding imperial bloodline prodigy in their family's thousand-year history, with unlimited potential!
But now, it's all an illusion.
And all of this is Lin Jinglong's fault!
"Hahaha, Tantai Kong courted his own death, so he deserved it. Do you perhaps want to avenge him?"
"nonsense!"
Tantai Ning's face was gloomy.
He raised his hand and unleashed a Heavenly Karmic Fire towards Lin Jinglong.
The scorching flames raised the temperature at the summit by several degrees!
But Lin Jinglong stood still, a golden light flashing on his body, and he withstood the fatal blow from the Celestial Martial Emperor, as well as the karmic fire that ignited on his body.
It left no trace whatsoever.
Devoured in an instant!
Lin Jinglong maintained his composed demeanor with his hands behind his back.
"Is the Tantai family so poor that they can't even afford to eat?"
"The dignified head of the Heavenly Family acts as if he hasn't eaten."
"Do you think your karmic fire can harm a Vajra Martial Emperor who possesses the Pure Lapis Lazuli Body?"
Upon hearing this, Tantai Ning's face turned bright red.
His face was full of anger.
But he also had to admit it.
The Ming King bloodline of the Tantai family was unable to unleash its true strength after encountering Lin Jinglong!
