He had already grabbed Tianxiao, while on the other side, Lin Jinglong did not put up a strong resistance and was instead captured by Ye Bingcheng.
He was confident that his disguise could conceal his identity.
As long as Ye Bingcheng doesn't take him back and investigates him thoroughly, he can conceal everything except his identity as a person from the lower realm. This includes his specific strength and invincible bloodline.
However, Lin Jinglong also found it troublesome.
I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
Even the Ye clan members actually regarded him as the main suspect, originally thinking that Tianxiao was their main focus.
But even Lin Youtian couldn't escape it.
Just as he was trying to figure out a solution, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky and landed beside them with a booming sound.
Lin Jinglong felt a suction force.
He was pulled back.
Even Tianxiao and the others were protected by that suction force.
As for Qin Ba and the other three seventh-level elders in front, they were all blasted away.
Qi Shenglong appears!
"Who just said our Heavenly Dragon Sect is nothing but a fart?"
Qi Shenglong looked around, his imposing gaze finally settling on Qin Ba's face.
The head of the Eternal Sect's Punishment Hall looked horrified.
However, considering the gravity of Long Xilai's death, and the fact that their Eternal Sect had previously suffered a loss at the hands of the Immortal Descendant Hall, they were determined to regain the face they had lost.
He was unwilling to bow down to Qi Shenglong.
He immediately said in a tough tone, "Sect Master Qi, I know you are powerful, but are you going to protect even the Nine Clans of Heaven?"
"You say they are the Nine Clans of Heaven, what evidence do you have?" Qi Shenglong smiled contemptuously and shook his head, saying, "When Tianxiao joined our Heavenly Dragon Sect, I personally recruited him. Don't make baseless accusations against others."
"I'm not talking about Tianxiao, but the others under him. These people from the Immortal Exile Hall are suspected of being members of the Nine Clans of Heavenly Dao, and they are very likely Lin Jinglong's subordinates!"
Qi Shenglong turned around and glanced at Lin Jinglong and the others.
He met Lin Jinglong's gaze and gave a meaningful smile.
"But this Hall of Immortals was personally created by me, the sect master. So, you think that I, Qi Shenglong, have betrayed the Upper Realm and actually cooperated with the Nine Clans of Heavenly Dao in the Lower Realm, and with the bloodline inheritor of Lin Wudi?"
"That's possible, but Sect Master Qi might have been deceived by them!"
Qin Ba thought he had successfully persuaded the other party.
As a result, Qi Shenglong delivered a powerful slap in mid-air, shattering all of his teeth, a mere seventh-level True Monarch.
Qin Ba let out a mournful cry as his figure flew out.
Qi Shenglong angrily said, "How dare you! I am the Sect Master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. On what grounds do you suspect me of making a mistake and being deceived by the Nine Clans of Heaven? Just because I am a mere Hall Master of the Punishment Hall of the Eternal Sect?"
"You can't even tell who I am, yet you dare to doubt me? You're asking for death!"
"etc!"
Ye Bingcheng suddenly stepped forward.
He stood in front of Qin Ba, fearing that the guy would be killed by Qi Shenglong with a single palm strike. Ye Bingcheng said forcefully, "I suspect that one of our Ye family's heirs, Ye Changxiao, also died at the hands of Lin Jinglong. I beg Sect Master Qi to give us some face."
"Just get them to cooperate with the investigation."
"As for whether they belong to the Nine Clans of Heaven, it's easy to find out with a simple investigation, isn't it?"
Qi Shenglong showed no intention of backing down.
"Let you investigate? They are all members of my Heavenly Dragon Sect. I know your Eternal Sect has lost several promising young talents, but even if you want to investigate them, it should be done by my Heavenly Dragon Sect itself!"
"What? You want to investigate this yourselves?"
Ye Bingcheng's expression changed.
He didn't suspect that Qi Shenglong would collude with the Nine Clans of Heavenly Dao, but he was afraid that even if the Heavenly Dragon Sect found out about Lin Jinglong, they would deliberately cover up the fact in order to absolve the Heavenly Dragon Sect of responsibility.
Just as he was hesitating...
Qi Shenglong then slowly said, "I can give the Ye family face, and I can give the Long family face. In the end, it's all about giving face to your Eternal Sect."
“I will personally conduct the investigation, and I promise to give you an explanation, but you also have to give me face.”
"If you insist on investigating the people of our Heavenly Dragon Sect, or even the Immortal Exile Hall that I, Qi Shenglong, founded myself, then our two sects should prepare for war!"
He has already made his point completely.
After being beaten, Qin Ba struggled to his feet from the ground.
Unable to accept being so humiliated by Qi Shenglong in front of everyone, he stood behind Ye Bingcheng and whispered, "Elder Ye, go back and inform the sect leader so that he can make the decision. Whether they investigate or take action, our Eternal Sect is not afraid of them!"
Ye Bingcheng snorted coldly.
He glanced at the several seventh-level elders around him. Compared to Qi Shenglong, all of them combined wouldn't be enough for him to easily defeat with one hand.
Therefore, he took a deep look at Lin Jinglong and Tianxiao.
He silently turned and left the place.
Before leaving, he left a message.
"Sect Master Qi, I hope you won't regret what happened today. If you really made a mistake, it's okay to admit it, but if you don't admit it, then you'll be making an enemy of everyone in the Upper Realm!"
The people from the Eternal Sect came with great force, but were driven back by Qi Shenglong, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
The people from the Heavenly Dragon Sect looked at Tianxiao with strange eyes.
Tianxiao explained, "Thank you for coming to our aid, Sect Master. I can assure you that my men have no connection with the Nine Clans of Heavenly Dao. They came here to investigate because someone died, and they are looking for trouble to retaliate."
"It's all that bastard Qin Ba's fault!"
Tianxiao was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
Qi Shenglong waved his hand and said to the others, "Tianxiao is a subordinate I personally recruited, and his subordinates have also been vetted by me, so there are naturally no problems. From now on, when you face people from the Eternal Sect, you must maintain this statement. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone else thought that Qi Shenglong was trying to uphold the dignity of the Tianlong Sect and was engaging in a battle of egos with the Wangu Sect.
Only Qi Shenglong himself understood.
All of this was truly to protect the nine clans of the Heavenly Dao.
He secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Jinglong and said in a deep voice, "Come to the main tent. You are the only one here, Lin Jinglong!"
"I see!"
Lin Jinglong nodded calmly.
Qi Shenglong acted very strangely from the beginning. He didn't take Lin Ye's killing of Ye Changhen and even Wan Liancheng seriously. This was probably not just to support Lin Ye in seizing the position of sect leader.
Qi Shenglong seemed to have sensed their problem from the beginning.
However, the fact that it was never exposed left Lin Jinglong with a lingering unease.
Now, the time for a showdown has finally come.
So what exactly is Qi Shenglong's plan, and what is his true identity?
Lin Jinglong accepted Qi Shenglong's invitation.
They entered a large tent not far away.
The two finally began their first formal conversation...
