Lin Jinglong's words caught their attention. The people looked at each other in surprise, and then a young man stepped forward.
He looked Lin Jinglong up and down.
There was something strange in his eyes.
"Where do you come from? I've never seen you before. You say you want to dispel the demonic energy here, but have you considered that this entire mountain of demonic origins, though seemingly small, is actually extremely dangerous!"
"If we forcibly dispel it, we might become infected by the demonic energy and fall into the demonic path!"
"At that time, we'll have no choice but to go to Black Mountain Cave and report to the Black Mountain Demon Lord!"
The others chuckled.
When the Black Mountain Demon Lord is mentioned, it's a dark cloud hanging over their heads, after all, this guy's strength is not much different from the top True Monarch.
Most of those ninth-order Great Perfection True Monarchs who have mastered the core of the Heavenly Dao would not be a match for the Black Mountain Demon Lord, who is a true powerhouse.
Some even said in trembling voices, "The appearance of this demonic mountain is something we can't touch at all. We might as well just notify the Black Mountain Demon Lord and tell him that there are fragments of the Heavenly Dao core of the lower realm inside this demonic mountain. Otherwise, if we rashly disturb this mountain and cause fluctuations in the origin of the demonic path, and the Demon Lord notices it, we're doomed!"
“That’s right. The Demon Lord acts recklessly. If we offend him, we will only face death. Even the sects behind us will not stand up for us.”
While everyone was marveling at it, they also felt a sense of regret.
After all, the aura of the core of the Heavenly Dao is within the Demon Mountain, but they cannot touch it. There's nothing they can do about it; their strength is what it is.
Lin Jinglong, who had been bullied by them before.
He smiled at this moment. Although he had covered his face, he still exuded the powerful aura unique to a ninth-level expert.
"Wrong. What is the Black Mountain Demon Lord? He can be defeated with ease. As for absorbing the demonic essence within this demonic mountain, that's even easier. If you don't believe me, you can stand further away and I'll dispel it."
The aura emanating from Lin Jinglong grew increasingly powerful.
These people didn't recognize him as the real Lin Jinglong, but they couldn't help but be surprised. One of them exclaimed in shock, "Who exactly are you? You just seemed to be displaying only the aura of the seventh rank, but now you actually have the aura of the ninth rank!"
An elderly man stepped out of the crowd.
He had remained silent until now because he was wary of the Black Mountain Demon Lord. He and his companion were the only ninth-level True Lords present, so keeping a low profile ensured that the greatest benefits would ultimately fall into his hands.
However, when they saw that Lin Jinglong also displayed the aura of the ninth rank, the two of them began to be wary, and the two old men appeared at the same time to block Lin Jinglong's way.
Lin Jinglong said calmly, "Who I am is not important. What is important is the demonic source in this mountain. I can devour it at will. What do you say?"
Lin Jinglong revealed a playful smile.
He glanced at the two old men in front of him.
He already had an idea in his mind!
Both of them are from the Eternal Sect.
I had met them once by chance when I was at Tianxing Mountain, but they wouldn't have noticed someone as insignificant as me back then.
However, he had already memorized the names of two ninth-tier experts.
At this moment, Lin Jinglong had an idea: to devour the demonic origin of this mountain while also seizing the core fragments of the Heavenly Dao within it.
Furthermore, he was unwilling to let go of these two ninth-level elders of the Eternal Sect, since they still possessed a considerable amount of Upper Realm Heavenly Dao Origin within them, which he could devour and transform.
If we act rashly and scare them away, it will be troublesome to track them down, and it may also cause a stir in the Northern Territory, since it is a battle between ninth-tier beings.
If it attracts the Demon Lord, or other powerful beings from the Upper Realm, this Demon Mountain might be moved away while he is chasing after the two.
Therefore, we should still be cautious.
Lin Jinglong concealed his identity because he wanted to devour the Demon Mountain, the core, and the two ninth-tier beings.
And we must not alert anyone else.
After all, there are still a few big fish in the upper realm.
Those are the people Lin Jinglong should be wary of.
The elder in the lead, named Longcheng, suddenly frowned. He was surprised to see that Lin Jinglong was so assertive, neither explaining his origins nor admitting that he wanted to annex the mountain.
He said with a gloomy face, "If you really have a way to devour the source of this demonic mountain, then the two of us will not compete with you for it. Let's see what you can do."
"However, if you are unable to devour the demonic essence here, and even alarm the Demon Lord as a result, then we will not be polite to you."
"What's there to fear in alarming the Demon Lord?"
Lin Jinglong asked, puzzled.
Long Cheng was instantly enraged. He said urgently, "Are you an idiot? You're not faking your ninth-tier aura, are you? You should know that you've alerted the Demon Lord. He knows you're devouring his demonic essence, and he definitely won't let you off!"
Lin Jinglong burst into laughter.
"Haha, let's give it a try then. Don't worry, I'll try my best not to alarm the Demon Lord."
He felt nothing but disdain.
These two are too timid.
Moreover, their vision is extremely short-sighted.
Did we alarm the Demon Lord?
If he wanted to, he could quietly devour the demonic essence here without the Demon Lord noticing. By the time the Demon Lord realized it, it would be too late.
Moreover, even if the Demon Lord were to arrive, he could easily strike first and eliminate the Heavenly Dao Core and the two ninth-level Eternal Sect cultivators here, so there would be no need to worry.
Then, to their astonishment, Lin Jinglong truly began to devour the demonic essence here.
Meanwhile, the elder named Longcheng was pulled aside by another elder, and the two of them said in a telepathic voice, "Are you really going to give him what's inside? Even if he can devour the demonic essence here, we shouldn't let him succeed."
"Don't worry, we just can't easily dispel these demonic sources ourselves. Since that kid is a hothead, let him do it. Once he's dealt with the demonic sources here, the two of us can make our move. Do you think he can do anything to us then?"
"It feels a bit strange that an unfamiliar ninth-tier character suddenly appeared."
The other person frowned and said.
Longcheng chuckled coldly.
"He's probably just been promoted, and I don't know which reclusive family he's from. He's obviously a greenhorn, so don't worry. When we join forces, what are we afraid of a ninth-ranked person who just recently advanced?"
"That's good. Then we'll go all out and kill him in one blow!"
The other person nodded as well.
They stared greedily at Lin Jinglong's retreating figure.
