"Thank you, Master. I wouldn't be where I am today without you!"
Tianxiao immediately bowed down in worship.
He had done this kind of thing a few times before.
He was already quite proficient and felt no unease, since Lin Jinglong had already devised a plan for him.
What they need to do next.
She just wanted to find an opportunity to separate from Wan Liancheng.
After obtaining the status of elder, he forged an alibi.
Then eliminate or recruit Wan Liancheng!
After that, one must improve one's strength and continue to climb the ranks within the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Tianxiao even started to daydream.
One day, will he also have the opportunity to rise to a higher level and become a high-ranking elder, or even a true elder of real power in the Heavenly Dragon Sect?
"He who steals a hook will be punished, he who steals a country will become a king!"
At this point, under Lin Jinglong's guidance, Tianxiao had come to realize the seriousness of power and dignity.
"Good disciple, no need for formalities, please get up quickly."
Wan Liancheng helped the man up.
He said with a smile, "Now, can you hand over your Heavenly Dao Core?"
He looked at Tianxiao with anticipation.
Tianxiao shook his head and said helplessly, "Master, I'm afraid the sect will lie to me, so I still hope to get the elder status first."
"What? The sect would lie to you? Would your master lie to you too?"
Wan Liancheng suddenly glared at him angrily.
This time, Tianxiao gave Wan Liancheng plenty of empty gifts, but not any real benefits. He just stared at Wan Liancheng, giving the impression that he wouldn't hand over the Heavenly Dao Core unless he gave him the Elder's Token first.
He wasn't even afraid that Wan Liancheng would directly attack him.
Firstly, because he was strong enough to protect himself, and Lin Jinglong and the others could protect him; secondly, because he was certain that Wan Liancheng had taken things to this point.
It was just a trip to Tianxing Mountain.
It's not time to break off relations right now.
As expected.
Although Wan Liancheng was somewhat annoyed, he ultimately did not retaliate against Tianxiao, but simply smiled helplessly.
"Alright, my disciple, you must have suffered too many grievances within the sect over the years, so you don't have much trust in either your master or the sect. But you can rest assured this time, your master will definitely not lie to you."
Wan Liancheng had even developed a strange sense of admiration for Tianxiao. Apart from Tianxiao's less-than-ideal background, he seemed to surpass his own true disciple, Wan Liang, in both aptitude and temperament.
He patted Tianxiao on the shoulder.
I also comforted myself, thinking that it wouldn't matter if it was just a little while longer.
And so the group left the courtyard.
Besides the master and apprentice, there were also Wan Liang and the other true disciples, as well as Lin Jinglong and his group, who naturally followed along as well.
This time, however, they did not follow immediately, but left the place after the Tianlong Sect disciples had left.
At dawn, on the way to Tianxing Mountain.
Wan Liang suddenly glanced at Tian Xiao beside him and said with a sneer, "Where are your lowly underlings from the lower realm? Why haven't they shown themselves yet?"
"The matter of Tianxing Mountain is so important, there's no point in them getting involved. That kind of thing is not something they can get involved in. Let's not send them to their deaths."
Tianxiao said casually.
Wan Liang snorted coldly.
He said in a gloomy tone, "I suspect you have other plans. You must have conspired with them about something. Perhaps they have already left that stronghold and gone to carry out other plans."
Tianxiao's expression immediately became somewhat tense.
He really did talk to Lin Jinglong about this: after they left the stronghold, Lin Jinglong led the remaining people to chase after them from behind, and then cooperated with the Blood Killers.
They attacked Wan Liancheng and his group.
Before entering Tianxing Mountain, let Tianxiao leave Wan Liancheng's side and obtain the elder's token on his own.
Then kill Wan Liancheng.
Wan Liang stopped in his tracks. Seeing that Tian Xiao's expression had changed, he turned around and said, "Master, I suspect those people are suspicious, and I'm also afraid that Junior Brother has been deceived by them, so I need to go back and check."
“Go ahead. Those people in the lower realms are indeed not trustworthy. Perhaps they are plotting something. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Before leaving the city for Tianxing Mountain, Wan Liancheng released Wan Liang again, making Tianxiao's expression even more tense.
Tianxiao could only nod.
"I believe that Senior Brother Wan will be back soon, and he will believe what I have said. Please do not doubt me, Master."
"How could I doubt you? I only doubt those lowly people in the lower realms."
Wan Liancheng smiled meaningfully.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, Lin Jinglong and his group were also preparing to leave the place. However, just as they were about to leave, they sensed a figure rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.
If Lin Jinglong and the others were truly only at the third level of the Immortal Realm, or if they had not grasped the core of the Heavenly Dao and did not possess strength comparable to the middle level, then naturally they would not have been able to sense the sudden return of the fourth-level Wan Liang.
But Lin Jinglong happens to possess the strongest combat power among mid-level fighters.
He stopped and gestured for the others to go back first.
After Wan Liang arrived, he lay in ambush nearby and quietly observed Lin Jinglong and the others' movements. He discovered that they were simply cultivating on their own and did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
He looked confused.
"Could it be that they've discovered me? That shouldn't be the case. Although their combat strength is decent, and they're supported by the Heavenly Dao Core, making them comparable to low-level True Monarchs, that's all they are. They certainly wouldn't be able to sense my presence."
"It seems I really misunderstood Tianxiao."
Am I just being paranoid?
Wan Liang decided to leave this place first and then meet up with Wan Liancheng. He felt it was more important to get back to Tianxing Mountain than to cause trouble for Tianxiao.
However, just as he was rushing back...
Xie Feiyan and her group had also arrived at the location, but after contacting Lin Jinglong, they learned that Lin Jinglong could not come immediately.
Xie Feiyan and Chen Han exchanged a glance.
"Master, what should we do? If Lin Jinglong isn't here, I'm afraid we won't have much of a chance of succeeding in taking action against Wan Liancheng."
“We’re not trying to kill Wan Liancheng, but rather to break them up so that Tianxiao has a chance to escape and retrieve the token on his own.”
Xie Feiyan pondered for a moment.
They finally devised a plan: after they made their move, they would first surround and kill Wan Liancheng, and then find a way to evacuate the remaining disciples controlled by Lin Jinglong.
"There's no need to let Tianxiao leave alone. Those disciples are also under our control. We just need to surround Wan Liancheng."
Xie Feiyan suddenly realized what was happening.
The others nodded in agreement immediately.
"Let's do it!"
Taking advantage of the faint light of dawn, the group attacked Tianxiao and his companions.
