"You want us to hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao?"
The dozen or so people at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although they maintained a very humble posture, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to beg for mercy, none of them were willing to hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao.
The elder in the lead was named Yang Li.
He looked around and tentatively said, "I wonder who you two are? There aren't just two Heavenly Dao Cores here. Why don't we take one, you find the other, and then each of you can rely on your own abilities to find the rest?"
"Each relying on their own abilities? Aren't we relying on our own abilities right now?"
Lin Jinglong didn't even need to go all out; Zhao Qimen's powerful ninth-level aura was enough to make this group of people tremble with fear.
After all, compared to a true ninth-rank cultivator, these people from the Earth Spirit Sect were still too weak. Even Yang Li, the only ninth-rank elder, had a deathly pale face.
He panicked when facing Zhao Qimen.
Just as Lin Jinglong and his companion were about to make a move against them, or at least it seemed that way, the elders behind Yang Li and their disciples appeared.
Suddenly, with a fierce movement, it broke through the frozen ground, attempting to escape from this place and burrow underground to flee!
Lin Jinglong laughed upon seeing this scene.
He and Zhao Qimen exchanged a glance. Neither of them needed to use their full strength; they had already allowed their powerful Heavenly Dao Origin to cover an area of several dozen feet in radius.
Those who burrowed underground to escape screamed in agony, only to be forced to burrow back in.
Several people appeared on the ground, looking disheveled.
Yang Li, who was in the lead, suddenly changed his expression.
Looking at the two people in front of him, a look of panic appeared on his face. But at that moment, Lin Jinglong suddenly rushed over and grabbed him.
Yang Li cried out in panic, "Don't kill me! Please don't kill me! Who are you people?"
His voice was filled with fear and anxiety.
Lin Jinglong assessed the time and knew that the people from the Heavenly Monarch Sect wouldn't arrive easily; it would probably take some more time. He simply said indifferently, "Now I'll give you two choices: either cooperate with us and hand over the Heavenly Dao Core, or you all die here."
"Besides that, I'll tell you who I am."
"My name is Lin Jinglong!"
"What? You're Lin Jinglong?"
Yang Li instantly broke down.
He already knew how powerful Lin Jinglong was. The members of the Eternal Sect who had been here before were avoided by the people of the Earth Spirit Sect, but those people suffered heavy losses after encountering Lin Jinglong.
He looked extremely flustered.
In the end, all I could do was nod repeatedly.
"Alright, I understand. I can hand over the Heavenly Dao Core!"
Another Heavenly Dao Core has been acquired.
Lin Jinglong's strength continued to improve.
However, he was still some distance from the thirty mark. He planned to continue searching in this underground palace for a while and find another one. In addition, there were many such underground palaces in Kunlun Mountain, so it wouldn't be long before he had the means to fight against the Heavenly Monarch Sect.
While Lin Jinglong was searching for the remaining one.
Yang Li and the others looked at each other, their inner panic completely revealed.
Someone sighed and said helplessly, "Elder Yang, it seems we have no chance. This place has been taken over by Lin Jinglong. Even the Eternal Sect was not as domineering as him."
"After all, the people of the Eternal Sect prefer to keep a low profile, but this Lin Jinglong is simply fearless!"
The people of the Earth Spirit Sect are the most cunning. Although they surrendered, they were not convinced and were hoping that someone could defeat Lin Jinglong.
They were also thinking that if Lin Jinglong, a person from the lower realm, were to seize a large amount of the Heavenly Dao's essence, they wondered what level his strength would rise to. At that time, wouldn't they all be trampled on by Lin Jinglong like ants?
At this moment, someone suddenly said gloatingly, "There is another Heavenly Dao Core hidden here, but our path is blocked here as well. Although we can sense that Heavenly Dao Core, it is too faint."
"Even treasure hunters like us don't find it easily, so Lin Jinglong shouldn't be so easy to find either, right?"
"I think it will take him at least a few days."
"In the meantime, why don't we find a chance to slip away?"
Yang Li's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
He nodded and said in a low voice, "If he really focuses all his attention on finding the core of the Heavenly Dao, then it might really be a good opportunity for us. We must find a way to get out of here afterward, and we absolutely cannot leave our lives here!"
Zhao Qimen, who was standing to the side, sneered.
He could see through these people's thoughts all too clearly. After all, he had witnessed far too many of these people from the upper realm sects who would forget righteousness for small gains and be afraid to risk their lives when it came to great things.
The reason he and Lin Jinglong appeared here was not only to find the Heavenly Dao Core, but also to use these people's identities to hide themselves and avoid the Heavenly Monarch Sect before they found the thirty Heavenly Dao Cores.
Therefore, no matter what these people say, they cannot leave.
Just as these people from the Earth Spirit Sect were still thinking about how to escape this place, Lin Jinglong's voice suddenly came from ahead.
"Finally found it."
"It took so long, it wasn't easy."
"Half an incense stick has passed."
Lin Jinglong held another Heavenly Dao Core in his hand and refined it in an instant. The people from the Earth Spirit Sect who saw this scene almost had their eyes pop out of their sockets.
They all wore expressions of disbelief.
"Wow, how did you find it so quickly?"
"We thought it would take you at least a few days!"
"Wasn't that Heavenly Dao Core hidden extremely deep?"
The dozen or so of them were all dumbfounded.
Lin Jinglong looked at them with a sneer and said casually, "We are both at the ninth level, but can our combat strength be compared? Just because it takes you a few days doesn't mean it will take me a few days too!"
Yang Li and the others looked at each other in disbelief. They were completely convinced and had gained a new understanding of Lin Jinglong's methods. One by one, they finally shut up and could not say a word.
It was at this moment that Lin Jinglong suddenly changed his form, and even his appearance changed, just like Zhao Qimen's. His outer garment was also transformed with the origin of the Heavenly Dao.
Lin Jinglong said to the group, "Come with us. From now on, I'll be a member of your Earth Spirit Sect. Remember, don't reveal our identities, or you'll be dead!"
Yang Li's gaze shifted, and he suddenly realized that Lin Jinglong was doing this to avoid trouble!
"For someone as strong as him to need to hide, it seems someone is hunting him down here. This is truly a stroke of luck!"
After Yang Li and the others realized what was happening, they became agitated.
