He questioned Ye Xingyi.
Although the second senior brother of Yunxian Temple was not entirely convinced by Lin Jinglong, he still stepped forward to explain.
"The remaining people in Tianbao City had all fled and hid outside the city within a few days, but the people living in this old house are an exception."
"This was once a prominent family in Tianbao City."
"Their surname is Qi, and they are a wealthy merchant family in the area."
After hearing his explanation, Lin Jinglong strode towards the courtyard, leaving Ye Changqing and the others feeling helpless.
"Weren't you supposed to be exploring the forbidden zone? What are you doing here in this dilapidated house? Why are you so distracted?"
Lin Jinglong ignored their complaints.
We arrived at the vermilion gate of the mansion.
"Go and surround this old courtyard for me, and don't let the people inside run around."
Lin Jinglong had already noticed something was wrong.
Everyone else could only follow his orders.
Including the hundreds of people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the hundreds from the Cloud Immortal Temple, there are a total of more than a dozen Heavenly Martial Emperors.
The crowd dispersed to various locations to hide and keep watch.
Before Lin Jinglong could knock, someone had already opened the wooden door of the old house. It was an old doorman dressed in plain clothes.
He grinned at Lin Jinglong.
"Young man, what brings you to the Qi family?"
Lin Jinglong looked at him expressionlessly.
The old man's ghostly aura was so strong that it almost made him suspect that the man was a vengeful ghost.
He shook his head and pushed the old man away.
Following some unseen intuition, search for Ge Ling'er, or someone else's whereabouts.
He suspected that Ge Ling'er, Situ Zhentian, and the others were trapped in this mansion, but he didn't know what had happened to them.
After he stepped into the courtyard.
The old man, who exuded a sinister aura, hardened his expression.
He stared at Lin Jinglong's back, and a ghostly phantom emerged behind him, a blue-faced, fanged demon baring its claws at Lin Jinglong.
The old man glared, raised his hands, and was about to strangle Lin Jinglong when a golden light flashed from his body.
"Bang!"
The old man flew out like a tattered sack.
Lin Jinglong turned around and said casually, "You inhuman thing, even if I stand here and let you beat me until tomorrow morning, you won't be able to hurt a single hair on my head."
"This...this..."
The old doorman's hands were twisted in pain. He had just tried to attack Lin Jinglong, but the extremely yang and powerful aura emanating from the other party had directly blasted him into serious injury.
Just then, a group of people came out from the inner courtyard.
The leader was a middle-aged man.
When he saw Lin Jinglong, his brows furrowed.
"Lin Jinglong?"
"You actually know me?"
Lin Jinglong looked at the slightly overweight middle-aged man with a question.
The other party led a dozen people over and casually cupped his hands to him, saying, "I am Qi Dangli, the head of the Qi family. Our Qi family has been developing in Tianbao City for over a hundred years. When the Holy Realm appeared, our Qi family naturally witnessed everything that happened."
"You are the only one among hundreds of thousands of martial artists who took the initiative to try to save the people of Tianbao City from this calamity."
"I can't help but want to know you."
Qi Dangli said meaningfully.
Lin Jinglong glanced at the dozen or so people in front of him and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, your Qi family is skilled in the art of controlling ghosts?"
Qi Dangli subconsciously reached for a cloth bag hanging at his waist, as if it contained something very important.
Lin Jinglong saw through the other party at a glance.
Inside that bag, hundreds and thousands of vengeful ghosts were imprisoned using some unique ghost-controlling technique.
Apart from Qi Dangli.
The dozen or so people behind him were the same.
"This seems to be none of your business, right? Our Qi family has never made enemies. I greatly admire your actions that day. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Consider it my way of thanking you on behalf of the residents of Tianbao City."
Qi Dangli said politely.
"I'm looking for a few people who are probably being held captive by your Qi family. Please release them."
"I don't know who you're talking about."
Qi Dangli's expression remained unchanged as he spoke firmly.
Lin Jinglong had a cold smile on his lips.
"If you release him, I'll pretend I didn't see anything tonight. If you don't release him, then I'll really hold you accountable on behalf of the innocent souls who perished in this city."
“Your Qi family members are also from this Tianbao City.”
"Why, after they die, do you turn them into vengeful ghosts and enslave them?"
"Can you really bear to do this?"
Faced with Lin Jinglong's questioning.
Qi Dangli remained expressionless.
"This is all a matter for the Qi family and has nothing to do with you. If you insist on causing trouble, then you're just asking for trouble. Don't blame us for being impolite."
"Smack!"
Without saying a word, Lin Jinglong slapped him across the face.
Before Qi Dangli could react, he was sent flying two zhang away and rolled to the ground, his neck almost broken.
"You shameless bastard."
Lin Jinglong strode forward with a gloomy face.
Qi Dangli struggled to his feet, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Finally, some emotion appeared in his eyes.
He let out a low growl, utterly enraged.
"Kill him! Turn him into a vengeful ghost too!"
"Let's all charge!"
The dozen or so members of the Qi family he brought with him took action one after another.
They took out the cloth bags from their bodies and released the hundreds and thousands of vengeful ghosts they had been raising, causing a chilling wind to blow throughout the entire southern area of the city.
Countless vengeful ghosts appeared like dark clouds.
They surrounded Lin Jinglong, then floated in the air, enveloping him completely.
