"You bastard!" the Black Mountain Demon Lord cursed. He turned to look at the remaining, stunned demon generals beside him and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!"
"Demon Lord, we must not fight any longer!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a strategist rushed out.
He said with a solemn expression, "Lin Jinglong is devouring the demonic energy within us without any regard for the consequences. If we continue to let him devour us in this state, we will be powerless to resist."
"After all, his absorption efficiency is faster than our attacks on him!"
"We'll be drained dry before he dies!"
Does the Black Mountain Demon Lord lack reason?
He realized he had lost.
At least, given that he hasn't yet reclaimed all of the demonic essence, he truly can't do anything to Lin Jinglong.
His eyes flashed, and he said in a gloomy tone, "Lin Jinglong, this matter ends here. I'm just giving you a warning. If you dare to continue devouring our demonic origins in the future, once I've collected all the scattered power, you'll only have one path left: death!"
After he finished speaking, a black portal suddenly appeared behind him, and he, along with the eleven demon generals and the army of Black Mountain Cave, all fled back as quickly as possible.
"They ran away already?"
Lin Jinglong was somewhat shocked.
Based on his impression of these visitors from Black Mountain Cave, they were all vicious and ruthless people. He was prepared to fight to the death here, as if it were just a matter of inhaling a few more breaths of demonic energy.
As a result, they didn't dare to linger there any longer.
Lin Jinglong was terrified whenever he saw him.
They immediately escaped as quickly as possible.
This left Lin Jinglong somewhat helpless.
He couldn't very well go straight through the Demon Gate to their lair. Dealing with them outside was fine, but if they had set up some kind of trap in their lair, then he would be in big trouble.
They saw that the Black Mountain Demon Lord had been driven away by Lin Jinglai.
Huangfu Kong and the others nearby breathed a sigh of relief, while Qi Shenglong and Lin Ye were even more shocked.
Zhao Qimen's face was deathly pale, but at the same time there was a strange flush. He said excitedly, "I didn't expect that our partner this time would be so powerful. Even the Black Mountain Demon Lord is no match for us. Our previous decision was the right one."
He once had the opportunity to compete with Lin Jinglong for the Heavenly Dao Record. If Lin Jinglong hadn't given him a choice, he probably would have acted forcefully.
Since Lin Jinglong did not eliminate him completely.
And he didn't gamble that time.
But in the end, he took another gamble.
That is to bet that Lin Jinglong will have a bright future and overturn the upper and lower realms. Now it seems that he has the ability to do so. Apart from Shenxiao Zhenjun and the Black Mountain Demon Lord in his complete state, who else in this world can threaten Lin Jinglong?
"He is now at least the third most powerful being in both the upper and lower realms. If he acquires more Heavenly Dao Cores from the lower realms, then he will be more than just third."
"Perhaps he can truly surpass the Demon Lord, or even the Divine Firmament True Lord. It all depends on how much Lin Jinglong can collect."
"Even obtaining the complete power of the Heavenly Dao in the lower realm and forcefully becoming the number one person in both the upper and lower realms—that would truly overturn everything!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhao Qimen was unable to utter a complete sentence; he was in a state of extreme agitation.
Meanwhile, there was another group of people who were all in a state of grief and despair. That group was the Tianlong Sect, Lin Jinglong's nominal enemy, who had repeatedly made the wrong choice in which side they were on.
He has turned himself from Lin Jinglong’s natural ally into his most direct enemy, even though Lin Jinglong initially wanted to control the Tianlong Sect.
Instead of engaging in in-depth cooperation with the Blood Killing Society.
Overthrowing the forces in the upper realm was not Lin Jinglong's primary goal; what he wanted was to control the strongest power.
In his view, the Heavenly Dragon Sect was easier to control than the Blood Slaughter Society, but ultimately, due to a decision made by the Grand Elder Wan Xing, the trajectory of everything has changed.
In his terror, Wan Xing disregarded the presence of the venerable Tianlong Daoist beside him and immediately ordered the remaining men, "What are you all standing there for? Run! Lin Jinglong is coming to kill us!"
Wan Xing's emotions have collapsed.
If he hadn't shouted that, Lin Jinglong might not have even noticed that there was such a group of people in the dense forest beneath his feet. A faint mocking expression appeared on his face.
"Run? What's the point!"
He originally didn't want to bother with the Heavenly Dragon Sect's affairs.
However, now that they have shown themselves, and there is an additional ancestor with the core of the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, Lin Jinglong has no reason to let them go.
Therefore, his figure instantly appeared on their escape route.
Terrified, Daoist Tianlong trembled all over.
He is now just a Yin spirit, and even if he weren't a Yin spirit, he probably wouldn't be a match for Lin Jinglong now.
His face trembled with fear.
"Lin Jinglong, what do you want to do?"
Meanwhile, Wan Xing trembled with fear.
Lin Jinglong actually came!
At this moment, Lin Jinglong shook his head helplessly and casually said, "Apart from a few ninth-level elders, if the others are willing to surrender, they can be incorporated into the Immortal Exile Hall. From now on, they will be our own people, and we will spare their lives."
He didn't have a good opinion of Zhao Qimen's actions. Slaughtering the entire Tianlong Sect was not in his interest, but since it had already happened, he could only talk to Zhao Qimen about it later.
What he needs to do now is to devour all these remaining hundreds of elites, add them to the Immortal Hall or the Nine Clans of Heavenly Dao, and control all the resources of the Heavenly Dragon Sect that they control. This is also a form of annexation.
"impossible!"
Wan Xing was naturally unwilling to agree.
If we hand over these remaining elite troops, wouldn't they suffer a severe blow in the future?
Qin Tai then turned his gaze to something else.
He immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Lin, I have been trying to persuade you to join your camp, but Wan Xing has always been obstructing me. I, Qin Tai, have always been willing to cooperate with you."
"Okay, then come over here."
Lin Jinglong waved his hand.
Qin Tai lowered his hand, his expression somewhat conflicted.
Fearing that they would be killed if they went over, but thinking that they had no room for negotiation and that Lin Jinglong could take their lives at any time, he simply went over.
At this moment, Wan Xing flew into a rage.
"Qin Tai, you've become a traitor just like Qi Shenglong! How could our Heavenly Dragon Sect have produced a ninth-level elder like you? You're a bastard!"
Qin Tai sneered, "If you weren't so incredibly stupid, I wouldn't mind dying alongside the Heavenly Dragon Sect. It's just a pity you're too stupid. Dying with you would be a great humiliation for me!"
Just as Wan Xing was about to argue angrily,
The severely injured Lian Feixiao suddenly staggered to Lin Jinglong and knelt down, wailing, "Master Lin, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have stopped you from taking the Heavenly Dao Record. I am willing to surrender. Please spare my life!"
Behind them, Lian Shang, Wan Xing, and the others stared in disbelief.
Isn't Lian Feixiao's posture a bit too devout?
