Outside the Elder Council stronghold where Lin Jinglong was located, several people were already secretly observing.
It was a puppet arranged by the Immortal Inquiry Hall.
However, they were not just idle people, but rather a group of elders and members of the Superpower Federation.
There were more than 30 people in total, who were scattered around the area to keep watch and scout the location. They already had a sense of Lin Jinglong's residence.
They followed the plan of the master of the Immortal Invitation Hall.
After conducting the investigation here, we plan to notify them.
However, not far away, another gaze was looking down at them; it was Bai Yiyi.
On the other side, there was Tantai Yu, who personally took action.
Her expression was very cold as she transmitted her voice to Bai Yiyi: "I didn't expect that there would be so many spies from the Summoning Immortals Hall in the Elders' Council and the Superpower Federation. We didn't notice them at all before."
Some of them have even reached the middle management level.
If this continues, who knows if they will rise to high positions in both major powers?
They were extremely wary of the existence of the Hall of Invoking Immortals.
"Let's act quickly, interrogate them to find out their next plan, and we must not let them succeed."
Bai Yiyi also had a gloomy expression.
Although we don't yet know what their plan is, it seems to be aimed at Lin Jinglong. Whether they want to kill Lin Jinglong or for some other reason, we must not let them succeed.
So the two of them, along with their subordinates, also sprang into action. For the past few days, their stronghold had been outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense, all in an effort to lure out the people from the Invitation Hall.
Now that the enemy has taken the bait, they naturally won't miss the opportunity.
"boom!"
Hundreds of sword lights suddenly slashed at the people scattered near the stronghold from different directions. Bai Yiyi also displayed the level of a banished immortal at this time.
The amount of heavenly secrets accumulated within her body had reached a scale of a thousand strands, and Tantai Yu was at a similar level. This was mainly because the amount of heavenly secrets in Tianyi Dragon Treasury was extremely large.
After Lin Jinglong reversed the situation with the Immortal Martial Golden Seal, the people of the Ten Heavenly Clans naturally would not give up those heavenly secrets. They understood that these things were the foundation of their existence, and those immortal auras were useless to them.
Or even if it is used, it can be manipulated by others.
Unless they are willing to join the Immortal Inquiry Hall.
The power of the immortals is not weak; the only problem is that they cannot control it. However, the secrets of heaven can be used by them.
So when Bai Yiyi unleashed her full combat power...
More than thirty spies nearby instantly turned horrified.
"They've been discovered!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
This time, Bai Yiyi's sudden attack seemed to be an attempt to kill everyone, regardless of friend or foe, but in reality, only those who had already been exposed became her targets.
These people were trying to get away.
Another group led by Tantai Yu had also blocked their way, and at the same time, a tremendous pressure swept over them.
It also implies a chilling, devouring intent.
The one that Tantai Yu used was the Netherworld Golden Cauldron!
After this golden cauldron with powerful devouring and refining abilities appeared, the group was powerless to resist. If they dared to act recklessly again, their life force would be drained by the Netherworld Golden Cauldron at any time.
People from both major forces stepped forward, seized several of the higher-level cultivators, and separated them from the others for interrogation.
"You're from the Immortal Inquiry Hall, right? What's your plan here? Are you perhaps trying to assassinate Lin Jinglong?"
"We...we know nothing!"
"I can't believe it," a gaunt middle-aged man said stubbornly.
Bai Yiyi sighed, sliced off the man's head with a single sword stroke, and then looked at another one.
The people here are all peripheral members of the Invitation to Immortals Hall.
They were only there to scout the location and didn't know the specific plans. However, their loyalty was far less than that of the true core members of the Immortal Inquiry Hall.
So when faced with a life-or-death crisis, they could only tell everything they knew. And through what they said, Bai Yiyi and the others figured out something.
"It seems their plan isn't to assassinate the alliance leader, but rather to kidnap him?"
Bai Yiyi was lost in confusion.
If they had the chance to kill Lin Jinglong, they should have done so, but it seems they were more interested in something else, something they longed for.
What is it about Lin Jinglong that they all dream of?
"Besides that Immortal Martial Golden Seal, it's probably Lin Jinglong's bloodline, right? He inherited Lin Wudi's bloodline, which is the foundation of all power!"
Tantai Yu came out.
As a member of a reclusive family, she has an exceptional understanding of the power of bloodlines. The Fudo Myo-o bloodline she possesses is itself an incomparably powerful bloodline force.
Bai Yiyi also realized what was happening.
Just as she was about to order her men to strengthen their defenses around Lin Jinglong, a scream suddenly came from the second floor of the wooden house behind her.
A dark shadow swept past within her perception range.
"They've made their move, and there are others involved!"
Bai Yiyi's expression was solemn.
It seems that the Immortal Inquiry Hall made thorough preparations this time. After confirming Lin Jinglong's whereabouts, they acted immediately, without even giving them time to set up defenses.
Fortunately, their defenses were designed to be loose on the outside but tight on the inside, with several powerful cultivators at the Immortal Realm inside and outside Lin Jinglong's room.
These were the other members of the Ten Clans of Heaven.
Shen Xiong Hua and Huangfu An appeared.
The two stood on the windowsill, while opposite them was a man in black, his eyes fixed on them with sharp gaze.
"I didn't expect you to have taken precautions in advance."
The man was muttering to himself.
Shen Xiong Hua and Huangfu An exchanged a glance.
"Let's do it!"
Neither of them wanted to talk to the other. Lin Jinglong was in a very passive state at the moment, still in the process of healing. Although they did not know what Lin Jinglong was going through, they could not let outsiders disturb him under any circumstances.
Besides the man in black, the Immortal Inquiry Hall also dispatched several other experts at the Immortal Ascension Realm, including even a double-level Immortal Ascension Realm assassin, essentially sending out their entire force.
On a distant hilltop, the Master of the Immortal Cultivation Hall and Lin Ruchu, gazing at the view of Wanhua City, were also waiting with great anticipation.
"With the abilities of our Immortal Summoning Hall, it won't be long before we can obtain Lin Jinglong's bloodline essence, kill him, and surpass him!"
The head of the Immortal Hall muttered to himself.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Lin Jinglong, though aware of the commotion outside, had no interest in what was happening and did not intend to wake up unless his life was in danger.
Because in his mind, the battle between Lin Wudi and Shenxiao Zhenjun had lasted for several days, almost making him forget the time!
The methods they used also greatly benefited Lin Jinglong, and during his healing process, his understanding of the cultivation realm steadily improved!
