Soon after, Lin Jinglong and Tianxiao's group arrived at the cave not far away. However, when they deliberately slowed down their journey and even took a detour, the place was already crowded with people.
Nobody knows what the environment inside the cave is like.
Tianxiao said to Lin Jinglong with some helplessness, "Mr. Lin, I think you seem to be overreacting. There are so many people gathered here, and nothing has happened to them, has anything to do with them?"
Lin Jinglong maintained his skeptical attitude.
The Eternal Sect, the strongest sect in the Upper Realm, would never easily leak information, especially not once or twice; such things have happened repeatedly.
It's hard not to suspect that there's a conspiracy involved!
However, Tianxiao's words also make sense. Since so many people have gathered here and nothing has happened to them, why would they specifically target Lin Jinglong?
They are currently concealing their identities and acting under the name of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Immortal Hall, so the Eternal Sect shouldn't be paying attention to them.
It is also important to pay attention to the Hall of Immortals.
But their counterpart is the Hall of Inviting Immortals.
Dealing with this group was a piece of cake for Lin Jinglong.
"And most importantly, if things really get out of control, then we can sell out the Blood Slaughter Society, at least that way we can save ourselves."
Lin Jinglong felt no guilt whatsoever about this.
Although the Blood Slaughter Society and their Heavenly Dao Nine Clans still share some common interests, if the situation becomes truly urgent, the Blood Slaughter Society would betray them without any qualms.
Therefore, you need to be mentally prepared.
In addition, as Tianxiao had mentioned before, the Blood Slaughter Society was not exactly a benevolent group. Among them were a promising and extremely intelligent leader like Lin Ye.
There was also Qian Wu, who was nominally under Lin Ye's command.
But in reality, he was a cultivator with extremely high ambitions.
We cannot underestimate the Blood Slaughter Society, but we also cannot rely on them too much, as they are not a force that we can control.
Lin Jinglong was standing on the periphery of the crowd, pondering his next move.
Suddenly, he noticed a gaze not far away, fixed on him with a sinister expression.
He turned his head to look over.
He then noticed Wang Liang's gaze.
However, the object of his gaze was not Lin Jinglong, but Tianxiao. In Wang Liang's view, Tianxiao was now his mortal enemy.
Targeting Lin Jinglong was just a side effect.
Wang Liang wasn't too heartbroken that Lin Jinglong had killed several of his henchmen from the lower realms, but he felt that Tianxiao and Lin Jinglong had offended him.
Then this debt naturally needs to be settled.
Tianxiao also noticed Wang Liang's gaze.
He snorted coldly and said to Lin Jinglong, "Mr. Lin, I think if there's a chance, we should still get rid of Wang Liang. His mentality has become twisted, and we must not let him go."
"You're about the same."
Lin Jinglong mocked Tianxiao.
Tianxiao's lips twitched, and he shrugged, saying, "Although I come from the same background as him, I haven't forgotten that I am a human being, not a dog. Wang Liang not only acts like a dog himself, but he also doesn't treat others like human beings. This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong, which is really disgusting."
“You’re right, but now is not the time to get rid of Wang Liang. Let’s find out what’s going on in this cave first.”
They planned to find Lin Ye first.
Another figure appeared beside Wang Liang, blocking his view. It was none other than Lian Shang, the backer who had saved him once before.
As the head of the Personnel Department of Tianlong Hall, Lian Shang is determined to compete for the position of the next sect leader and also wants to quickly advance to the seventh level of True Monarch realm within the next year.
His goal was naturally the core of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm.
After blocking Wang Liang's gaze, he said in an icy tone, "Be careful when you do things. You've already made a mistake, do you want to make another one?"
Wang Liang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He said in a trembling voice, "Master, that's really not what I meant. I just glanced at them a few times and didn't mean to cause them any trouble."
"Moreover, Tianxiao inexplicably became the hall master. He was under Lin Ye's command. Lin Ye was just a true disciple and didn't even have the status of an elder. Yet now he controls the Immortal Hall, and his status has vaguely surpassed yours."
"Isn't my dissatisfaction with them also because of you?"
Wang Liang explained with a wronged expression.
Lian Shang twitched his lips. He suddenly realized that what Wang Liang said was actually quite reasonable. He had also put in a lot of effort to compete for the position of head of the personnel department.
The family behind it is connected with more than 30 elders.
They practically forced him into this position.
The Personnel Hall is quite lucrative, and many outsiders who want to enter the Heavenly Dragon Sect need to pass through Lian Shang's threshold.
This is a powerful faction.
Unlike the newly established, lowly, garbage-filled hall of the Immortal's Retreat, Tianxiao's status is now nominally equal to his.
It really made him very unhappy.
Not to mention that Lin Ye is behind Tianxiao.
Lian Shang glanced back at Tian Xiao and the others who were leaving, and slowly said, "I absolutely cannot let Lin Ye be superior to me, whether it's his power or his strength, it's absolutely unacceptable!"
After a moment of contemplation, he said to Wang Liang, "Qi Shenglong is probably also keeping an eye on the Immortal Hall, so it's not advisable to take action against them for the time being. However, the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Dao Cave this time is a good opportunity for us."
"So how should we make our move?"
Wang Liang suddenly became excited.
Lian Shang looked at him with pity and shook his head, saying, "You don't even know how to be a dog, you have no initiative at all. Why don't you use your brain?"
