Just as the two ninth-rank beings were discussing how to launch a surprise attack on Lin Jinglong after he had devoured the Demonic Origin and retrieved the Heavenly Dao Core,
There were other people present, and they were also discussing it.
They couldn't actually see through Lin Jinglong's true strength at all. He seemed far too young, yet the cultivation level he exuded was at the ninth rank.
Apart from the two elders of the Eternal Sect who concealed their identities, most of the others adopted a wait-and-see attitude. Some even took the initiative to retreat to a distance, fearing what might happen next.
For example, the Demon Lord was startled and suddenly appeared here.
Or perhaps, in order to determine the ownership of the core of the Heavenly Dao after the origin of the demonic path dissipates, a great battle will break out between the two sides, and they will also need to hide in a distant place.
But there are also some ambitious people.
One of them came from the Tianhe Sect.
The leader was an elder in black robes, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
He said to the other eighth-rank elders around him, "If we can seize a Heavenly Dao Core, then we will have a chance to advance to the ninth rank. If the Grand Elder can advance to the ninth rank, then our Heavenly River Sect can become a truly high-ranking sect!"
"There is a great deal of the origin of the Heavenly Dao within this Demon Mountain."
"This is a great opportunity for us!"
But those around him also showed signs of worry.
"Second Elder, although the First Elder only needs one Lower Realm Heavenly Dao Core to help him reach the Ninth Rank, the problem is that that young man is not easy to deal with, is he?"
"Him? He's just putting on an act."
The Second Elder's attitude was somewhat subtle.
The expressions of the others also suddenly changed.
They exclaimed in surprise, "Second Elder, how did you figure that out? That kid's aura didn't seem fake to me; he's a genuine ninth-rank cultivator!"
"Hehe, you don't understand. I have the Eye of Recognition. Although I can't tell whether his aura is real or fake, I can tell that he is only in his twenties. Have you ever seen a ninth-level True Monarch in his twenties?"
The others immediately fell silent.
They had never seen anything like this before.
They had never even heard of it. After all, even the top geniuses of the strongest sects or the top forces of some Heavenly Dao families could not possibly cultivate young people who reached such a level in their twenties.
They often cultivate for a hundred years before they can become True Lords!
After that, it would take many more years of cultivation to reach the level of a ninth-tier True Monarch.
The others fell silent.
"In that case, that kid might have some kind of extraordinary treasure that can conceal his true cultivation level. He might just be an ordinary cultivator, or even a True Monarch, but he's pretending to be a ninth-level cultivator just to take a risk!"
The other three eighth-level elders also became excited.
Their Heavenly River Sect has a total of five eighth-level elders, which is much stronger than ordinary high-level sects. However, they have never had a ninth-level elder, which is why they are weaker than those major sects.
They had only one thought in their minds.
In any case, we must cultivate a ninth-level elder.
At that time, they will be able to reach the truly high level.
"If we can help the Grand Elder reach the ninth rank, we will be qualified to stand on equal footing with those major sects. However, this Heavenly Dao Core is not easy to obtain, but we have no choice but to take the gamble!"
There were four people in total, and they had all made up their minds.
At that moment, Long Cheng, who was in the distance, suddenly frowned.
He sensed some unusual fluctuations in aura, and the shadowy figure seemed to emerge from the Demon Mountain. Only true ninth-level experts like them could sense this change in aura, causing their expressions to suddenly change.
One of them said in a low voice, "Dragon City, it seems that one of the Demon Lord's generals has been alerted?"
"It's possible. This demonic origin is also crucial to Black Mountain Grotto-Heaven. They can accept the spread of the demonic origin, but they cannot accept it being refined by others. Therefore, it's understandable that the boy's actions alarmed the Black Mountain Demon Lord."
"Then is he definitely dead?"
Those around Long Cheng wore strange expressions.
Long Cheng frowned, unsure of what would happen next. He thought the best-case scenario was that the kid had devoured the demonic essence within Demon Mountain, making it easier for them to seize the core of the Heavenly Dao.
But without alarming the Demon Lord of the Black Mountain Grotto in the upper realm.
Otherwise, they'll be in trouble!
"Let's retreat further away first!"
Just as Long Cheng and the others had predicted, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared and was about to strike Lin Jinglong with a palm. Lin Jinglong, who was closest to the Demon Mountain, froze in place.
Other people nearby witnessed this scene.
They couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"That must be a powerful subordinate of the Demon Lord attacking!"
"A powerful figure from Black Mountain Cave has appeared! Let's run!"
"That brat actually alerted the Demon Lord; he's doomed!"
"We absolutely cannot stay here any longer!"
"..."
Everyone nearby scattered like ants, and couldn't help but show some sympathy for Lin Jinglong, who remained near the cave entrance. After all, in their view, there was only one reason why Lin Jinglong didn't run away from the demon generals sent by the Black Mountain Demon Lord.
That means this kid is very likely stunned!
Only in this way can we explain why Lin Jinglong didn't run away.
He has nowhere to run!
However, just as they were looking at Lin Jinglong in front of Demon Mountain with pity, treating him as a corpse, the suddenly appearing shadowy figure suddenly stopped attacking.
Instead, he stared intently at the young man in front of him.
The demonic energy emanating from him suddenly surged, and the owner of the shadowy figure abruptly appeared, withdrawing his demonic claws.
It transformed into its true form, which was a slender humanoid monster in its demonic form, but it spoke with a human voice.
"That's the Azure Demon General! It's him!"
"This man is one of the Demon Lord's top three most formidable generals!"
"I just don't know why he suddenly stopped?"
Everyone else looked puzzled.
The Azure Demon General watched helplessly as Lin Jinglong remained in place, continuing to refine the Demon Mountain, his expression awkward.
"Why must you antagonize our Black Mountain Demon Lord?"
"roll!"
Lin Jinglong ignored them.
If you've got the guts, then show me what you're capable of and stop him.
What's the point of wasting time talking to him at a time like this?
Whether it's the origin of demonic cultivation or any other origin, as long as Lin Jinglong sets his sights on it, he has no reason to let it go!
The Azure Demon General snorted coldly.
"Fine, I'll get out!"
After he finished speaking, he vanished without a trace.
The others nearby looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The Demon Lord's subordinates actually escaped?"
