"It really has come to this stage."
Standing behind Huangfu Kong, Lin Jinglong understood after hearing what Mr. Shi said that their initial plan was not to completely break ties with the Elders' Council.
After all, if war really breaks out...
Sirius City can't afford it either.
Therefore, their plan is to get the Hegemon Alliance and the Azure Cloud Sect to find a reasonable way to join the Elders' Council.
After that, no matter what Tianlang City does, with these two people restraining it, the Elders' Council will not easily take action against Tianlang City out of consideration for the integrity of the Ten Heavenly Clans.
They will be the best tentacles for Sirius City to extend its influence into the Elder Council!
As for the Ten Clans of Heavenly Dao, Huangfu Kong has not yet expressed his opinion, but the people of Xuanling Temple have already begun to frown.
The Spirit Master's gaze fell on Lin Jinglong.
He glanced at Huangfu Kong again.
He suddenly realized that Lin Jinglong, who appeared to be the weakest on the surface and had participated in the martial arts tournament in the past, was perhaps the most suitable challenge target for the Hegemon Alliance and the Qingyun Sect in Kyoto.
But he was aware of Lin Jinglong's strength.
"Could this also be part of Huangfu Kong's plan? People outside, including the Ten Heavenly Clan, have little understanding of Lin Jinglong's strength. If they were to challenge him..."
"All plans will fall through!"
Not long ago, the Spirit Master had already suffered a great loss at Lin Jinglong's hands. Eleven strands of heavenly secrets, if placed in the hands of any force, could have been used to cultivate a top expert.
This is also a major blow to Xuanling Temple.
Lin Jinglong's strength is almost arguably the strongest among the ten Heavenly Dao clans, unless other forces have hidden trump cards.
Master Xuanling sighed.
He shook his head and took the initiative to remind Mr. Corpse across from him.
"If you want to take on the challenge, why don't you come to our Xuanling Temple?"
Mr. Corpse and the two people beside him hesitated.
They knew how powerful the Xuanling Temple was.
"Challenge Xuanling Temple? You are the strongest of the Ten Heavenly Clans, why should we challenge you? This is not fair!"
"I am confident," Qin Dao of the Hegemon Alliance said.
The Spirit Master's eye twitched slightly.
Do you only want to challenge the weak?
But Lin Jinglong, whom they considered the weakest, was actually the strongest.
The reason he wanted to remind these people was...
They simply didn't want Lin Jinglong to steal the spotlight and overshadow their Xuanling Temple, otherwise many of his ambitions and schemes would be impossible to realize.
He wanted to speak again to remind him, but Huangfu Kong had already raised his hand.
"To be fair, I have accepted your challenge. As for who you want to challenge, that is up to you!"
The other members of the Ten Heavenly Clans had no objections, except for Master Xuanling, who feared that Lin Jinglong's rise would threaten his position.
As for the thousand cultivators brought by the various forces ahead...
They also seemed very happy.
In their view, Huangfu Kong's acceptance of the challenge was already a concession.
Although both the Overlord Alliance and the Azure Cloud Sect have been listed as unacceptable by Huangfu Kong, after all, they killed Chen Xifeng.
But under Mr. Corpse's righteous siege...
How could Huangfu Kong refuse?
Otherwise, it would be true autocracy!
The three men, including Mr. Corpse, whispered among themselves, discussing the most suitable target for their challenge.
Qin Dao said in a low voice, "I think Tantai Yu is the weakest, and Lin Jinglong is probably about the same strength. How about our two families challenge these two separately?"
Mr. Corpse hesitated, his ugly face showing some hesitation.
He knew Lin Jinglong's strength; he wasn't as weak as he looked. In fact, Lin Miao, the most outstanding young man cultivated by their Tianlang City, died at Lin Jinglong's hands last night.
He said to Qin Dao and Huang Genji, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect, "It's not that simple. If you face Lin Jinglong, you must be careful. This person's strength is extraordinary."
"Even Mr. Corpse has said so, why don't we leave Lin Jinglong to me?"
Huang Genji said with a smile.
Qin Dao took out a large red-tasseled sword, which exuded boundless killing intent. It was a sacred artifact that he had found in an ancient ruin.
The terrifying, bloodthirsty aura emanating from the blade was extremely dangerous. The fact that he could wield this blade without being affected by its killing intent indicated that his own strength was already quite formidable.
"My strength is not weak either. Does the Qingyun Sect Master look down on me?"
Qin Dao was clearly not convinced.
At this point, Mr. Corpse had no choice but to accept their opinion.
"Let the Qingyun Sect Master challenge Lin Jinglong. As for Tantai Yu, you can handle that. This time, both of your families must win. Since Huangfu Kong has already conceded, you should be able to join the Ten Clans of Heaven after you win."
He still held considerable prestige between the two of them.
The strongest of the three is this Mr. Corpse.
Qin Dao had sparred with him before, using his strongest techniques, but still couldn't harm Mr. Corpse in the slightest. This zombie, who had lived for countless years, was incredibly powerful.
With his instructions, the others had no choice but to accept them.
So Huang Genji was the first to step forward.
He pointed at Lin Jinglong and said, "I challenge you!"
In his mind, he had already identified Lin Jinglong as the second weakest of the ten Heavenly Dao clans, and the weakest of them all was naturally Tantai Yu.
Because the other members of the clans, including the already deceased Chen Xifeng, have already made a name for themselves in Kyoto over the past month.
Whether it's individuals or the forces behind them.
They are all formidable opponents.
Even a rogue cultivator like Li Gong had the lives of powerful figures on his hands.
Lin Jinglong, on the other hand, remained unassuming and inconspicuous.
If you're going to take on a challenge, you should start by taking down the weakest one!
On the side of the Ten Heavenly Clans, apart from Master Xuanling, everyone else looked relieved.
"As expected, they want to challenge Lin Jinglong again. This kid has been in Nanjiang before and hasn't made a name for himself in Kyoto, so he's naturally looked down upon."
Everyone else nodded.
Bai Jingsong and Lin Shuihua, the head of Shuihua Hall, smiled at each other. They both felt a lot of pressure, but at this moment they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Shuihua said in a low voice, "It seems that Tianlang City still trusts us and hasn't done anything reckless."
Bai Jingsong nodded slightly.
In fact, both of them have some cooperation with Sirius City, but it is not too deep. They are afraid that if they reveal some secrets as partners, they will be sold out by the people of Sirius City and will be specially restrained by them.
Fortunately, Lin Jinglong and Tantai Yu are the two young people most valued by Tianlang City, not because of their strength, but because they look the weakest.
"It seems that neither of them has a chance."
Ultimately, they were still too young!
Li Gong and Tie Hanshan, the leader of Tiexintang, exchanged a smile.
"They were never qualified to join the Ten Clans of Heaven, but they insisted on trying to get in. They can only blame themselves for their bad luck."
