His attitude shocked not only Lian Shang, but also Qi Shenglong.
He glanced at Lin Jinglong, who was meditating cross-legged to the side, and knew that all of this was because of the change in Lin Jinglong's strength, and that it was all because of this.
He gave a faint smile and said helplessly, "Alright, Elder Qin, I can explain to you."
"Actually, I had no choice but to cooperate with Lin Jinglong at the beginning. I was forced by the situation, but I didn't expect Lin Jinglong's strength to grow so quickly."
"Therefore, our Heavenly Dragon Sect can take advantage of the situation. After all, the Eternal Sect suffered heavy losses this time, and they have already lost a ninth-level elder."
"What? They lost a ninth-level elder?"
Qin Tai also looked extremely shocked.
Lian Shang finally managed to get up from the ground, and he exclaimed in shock, "Ye Chen is dead?"
"Naturally, the place where you are lying is where Ye Chen was killed and his remains were left behind. However, there are not many traces left, as he has turned into ashes and disappeared."
Qi Shenglong pointed to where Lian Shang was.
Upon hearing this, Lian Shang was stunned.
Lin Ye walked to his side and said with a sneer, "You've also left your mark here. I'm afraid when the people from the Eternal Sect ask about it, they'll also seek revenge on you."
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense."
Lian Shang's face was extremely pale.
At this moment, Qin Tai's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Seeing the change in Lin Jinglong's aura, he said in a gentle tone, "I understand. So you saw through Lin Jinglong's rapid increase in strength and therefore reached a cooperation agreement with him ahead of time?"
He even began to believe Qi Shenglong's words.
Qi Shenglong looked guilty, but still nodded and said, "I calculated that he would soon become a ninth-level cultivator, or even stronger, and that he was willing to cooperate with our Heavenly Dragon Sect, so I took it upon myself to cooperate with him ahead of schedule. Isn't this a good investment?"
In fact, Lin Jinglong did not show a strong desire to cooperate with Tianlong Sect; it was merely a delaying tactic. However, his previous attitude gave Qi Shenglong a negotiating idea.
Qin Tai's eyes flickered.
How should this be handled?
Should they directly attack Lin Jinglong?
But what grudge does their Heavenly Dragon Sect have against Lin Jinglong?
Isn't it just a Heavenly Treasure Vault and an eighth-order elder?
But Qin Tai wasn't foolish enough to fight a ninth-tier expert for these things.
After all, it was Zhang Duan who died, not him.
The lost sect's Heavenly Dao Treasury is not his Heavenly Dao Treasury.
Unlike Ye Chen, he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Ye family, which was still tied by blood.
He was just an ordinary elder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
If one prioritizes their own interests, why would they risk their lives so easily?
He suddenly smiled at Lin Jinglong and said, "Young man, I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden. Are you sure you want to cooperate with our Heavenly Dragon Sect?"
"Cooperation is not the point. I just want to tell you that if the Heavenly Dragon Sect is willing to work with me to seize the Heavenly Dao Record, then we will certainly not treat you unfairly afterward."
"You want the Heavenly Dao Record?"
Qin Tai frowned.
Lin Jinglong said confidently, "The Heavenly Dragon Sect cannot compete with me."
"you……"
Qin Tai immediately understood what he meant.
Lin Jinglong didn't just want cooperation; he wanted the Tianlong Sect to work for him.
This displeased him somewhat, and he shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid things won't be that easy. First of all, the Eternal Sect has already taken control of this place, and the other major sects have already discussed taking action against the Eternal Sect. The Heavenly Dao Record is also quite important to us."
"At that time, we will besiege the Eternal Sect."
"Even the combined strength of their sect might not be enough to withstand the combined forces of our major sects, and they certainly cannot monopolize the Heavenly Dao Record."
"You, Lin Jinglong, are just one person. How dare you have such great ambitions? Why not join our group and work together to deal with the Eternal Sect?"
He intended to recruit Lin Jinglong into the Tianlong Sect.
If they could really recruit Lin Jinglong, then their Heavenly Dragon Sect would have truly struck gold.
However, Lin Jinglong remained indifferent.
"Believe me, you can't take away the Heavenly Dao Record. I can already vaguely sense the resonance of the record, and deep within that cave, at least three Heavenly Dao Cores from the lower realm will become my nourishment. You can't stop me."
"As long as the Heavenly Dragon Sect is willing to help me, they will naturally give you an opportunity to obtain the Heavenly Dao Core."
Lin Jinglong had already opened his eyes.
He stood up and looked in the direction of the cave.
"Did you finally make it through?"
Qian Wu had previously helped him buy a considerable amount of time.
However, it seems that the Eternal Sect has reacted, with a large number of powerful figures emerging, including at least a ninth-rank expert and the rest of the eighth-rank experts.
There was also a familiar aura among them.
It seems to be their sect leader, Long Changfeng!
Qi Shenglong and Qin Tai exchanged a glance. Since they had not yet reached a real agreement with Lin Jinglong, they immediately retreated to a distance after the people from the Eternal Sect appeared.
The appearance of Long Changfeng, along with the other ninth-level elders of the Eternal Sect and a large number of powerful figures, brought an aura that could almost crush everything.
"Lin Jinglong!"
Long Changfeng's face was filled with extreme anger.
He looked around but did not see Ye Chen's figure.
He immediately questioned him.
"What did you do to our Elder Ye Chen?"
"He is dead, only ashes remain."
Lin Jinglong spoke casually.
Long Changfeng's face turned pale. He looked at Lin Jinglong in disbelief and shook his head, saying, "Impossible! Elder Ye Chen is already at the ninth level. How could he be defeated so easily?"
"You must have ambushed him and defeated him with despicable means. Otherwise, a ninth-rank cultivator could not have been defeated, nor could he have died!"
"Lin Jinglong, you are utterly despicable!"
Long Changfeng simply couldn't accept reality.
How could Elder Ye Chen have lost?
He not only lost, but he also died!
If that's the case, then their Eternal Sect has essentially lost a powerful fighting force. After all, besides special figures like Shenxiao, they only have four ninth-level True Monarchs within their sect.
Two other people are guarding the vicinity of the Heavenly Dao Diagram.
There was only one person with him.
If Ye Chen dies, the people they brought might not even be able to stop Lin Jinglong.
While Long Changfeng was still filled with doubt and speculation.
Qin Tai, standing behind him, suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Jinglong, if you want our Heavenly Dragon Sect to work for you, you have to prove your strength. If you can kill all of these people..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jinglong had already rushed over. He replied in a cold voice, "My cooperation with you is to give you an opportunity, not to beg you to cooperate."
"The lives of these people are in my hands!"
