"We are Taoist priests from the Yangxin Temple. Whether you've heard of us or not, with us here to oversee things, this demonic chaos can be contained."
Miao Xin shamelessly explained to Lin Jinglong.
After hearing this, Lin Jinglong couldn't help but sneer.
"The philosophy of cultivating the mind? I have indeed heard of it."
He had already realized that if the other party hadn't mentioned the name of the Yangxin Temple, he wouldn't have understood why the people in this city were all like this.
However, after hearing about the concept of cultivating the mind.
He then understood everything.
Because when he was at Qinglong Temple, he had heard that there was a kind of magic crystal circulating in the world. In addition to being used for research, it was also said to have miraculous effects in cultivating some unorthodox techniques.
Although the Yangxin Temple was secretive, they were all cultivators. Before the change of heaven, their numbers were not very large, so it was easy to determine the source of the magic crystals.
"So, those magic crystals circulating in the market were dug out of the Demon Cave by your Yangxin Temple, and the residents of Fengbei City are enslaved by you, which is why they have become like this?"
After hearing Lin Jinglong's question.
Miao Xin's expression changed drastically.
His breathing quickened, and he looked at Lin Jinglong in disbelief. The things that Yangxin Temple did were only known among secret forces, and very few people had ever heard of them.
The elders, in particular, should not have known of their existence.
And this Lin Jinglong seemed to know them very well.
He has even dabbled in magic crystals!
His expression turned somewhat gloomy.
"Don't talk nonsense. What's happening here has nothing to do with our Yangxin Temple. We're just here to seal off the demon's lair."
"There's no need for that. After you take us to the Demon Cave, I'll take care of it myself. As for the others in this city, I'll also cure the demonic energy that has seeped into their bones. Since we're all righteous people, it's only right that we cooperate with each other, isn't it?"
"you……"
Faced with Lin Jinglong's selfless act, he really couldn't refute it.
Just then, Xie Tianyang suddenly appeared behind the audience of those who were cultivating their minds.
The city lord jogged up to Lin Jinglong.
"You said there's a way to dispel the demonic energy within us?"
One reason he was so depressed was that after cooperating with the Yangxin Temple for a long time, he, like the other residents in the city, had also been affected by the demonic energy.
He didn't care whether the Demon Cave would erupt.
Even if he were to have an outburst, he would still find a way to escape from this place.
However, what he was concerned about was that the demonic energy within him was accumulating more and more, to the point that it had seeped into his very bones, negatively impacting his martial arts realm.
Furthermore, if the Demon Cave were to truly erupt, he would lose his status as the city lord and, as an ordinary rogue cultivator, be forced to wander to other forces.
Therefore, after hearing that Lin Jinglong had a way to save the city's residents, Xie Tianyang felt a glimmer of hope.
Lin Jinglong glanced at him.
"Tell me first, are you collaborating with your Yangxin Temple to produce magic crystals, and has this led to the strange occurrences in this city?"
"This...has nothing to do with me!"
Xie Tianyang suddenly shouted excitedly.
A golden glint flashed in Lin Jinglong's eyes.
He said with a sneer, "You're lying!"
He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of energy at Xie Tianyang, who was still at the Celestial Martial Emperor realm. Naturally, Xie Tianyang couldn't withstand the pressure and instantly collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices and screaming in agony.
Miao Xin and the others' expressions changed drastically. Lin Jinglong had actually made a move?
They instinctively wanted to rush towards Lin Jinglong!
At the same time, the madmen of the Demon-Slaying Palace also stepped forward, blocking Lin Jinglong's way and sneering at each other.
"If you decide to take action, you might regret it!"
Lan Yuexin was also seething with anger. After all, she had been humiliated by Lin Jinglong before, being beaten like a dog. She really wanted to fight this group and prove the strength of their Demon-Slaying Palace.
Miao Xin's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said bitterly, "Fine, I admit that the scene in this city is related to our Yangxin Temple, and we have indeed had some cooperation with Xie Tianyang."
"But without our Yangxin Temple, could Fengbei City have continued? It was we who gathered up the scattered demonic energy and gave them a way to survive!"
"They were already terminally ill; it was just a matter of whether they died sooner or later. They should be grateful to the Yangxin Temple for allowing them to live so much longer!"
Lin Jinglong felt that this guy was shameless.
He shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand, saying, "You're overthinking it. If it weren't for the fact that Yangxin Temple wanted to use them, these people and their ancestors would have moved away from Fengbei City long ago. You're treating them like slaves."
"you……"
Miao Xin's face flushed red. Lin Jinglong really didn't give her any face at all, but she couldn't refute him.
Then, he said angrily, "You're so kind. You say you have the ability to save them, then why don't you prove it and see if you really have the ability or if you're just bragging!"
They also wanted to test Lin Jinglong's true strength.
So next, Lin Jinglong showed them his skills, which almost made their eyes pop out of their sockets.
Lin Jinglong took out the Demon Sword, raised it above his head, and a violent, surging demonic aura enveloped the entire Fengbei City.
This includes Xie Tianyang and Miaoxin, among others.
They stared in disbelief.
"Are you an incarnation of a celestial demon?"
The legends that have been circulating in the Northern Regions for thousands of years seem to have been proven true before their very eyes today.
