The woman's face paled slightly upon hearing this, and Lin Lang Qing Xin remained silent, glaring at the other party with sinister eyes! She cursed inwardly, finding these old clan elders incredibly troublesome!
The Lin Lang family head seemed to be quite wary of the clan members and, without a word, quickly steered the conversation back.
"Regardless, this Jin Bao'er currently has a close relationship with the Dragon Clan, and her sudden rise to seventh place on the Godly Rankings indicates considerable strength and background. It would be best to win her over. If that's not possible, it's better not to provoke her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder from the clan sneered again.
"Not provoke? Has the family head forgotten so quickly?! Your precious daughter has already actively provoked that young girl! And in broad daylight, no less, snatching a man! Hmph! Truly bringing honor to the Lin Lang family!"
At this, everyone present fell silent, but their gazes towards Lin Lang Qing Xin also held a hint of annoyance! Useless fool!
The Lin Lang family head's expression changed, clearly aware of the previous incident. What could he do? He managed the Lin Lang family with utmost caution, diligently maintaining the status quo! Yet, he had such a foolish daughter!
Originally, the clan was already dissatisfied with the Seven Great Families, and now they were constantly finding fault with him...
Taking a deep breath, he said gravely.
"Lin Lang Qing Xin, for your arrogance and incorrigible behavior, you are confined for twenty years! You shall not step out of your room!"
For those who could live for thousands of years, twenty years was not a significant amount of time. But... Lin Lang Qing Xin was only a little over a hundred years old. How could she possibly accept this!
Instantly, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Father, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you mad! I'm your daughter!"
Hearing such disrespectful exclamations, the Lin Lang family head's face darkened, and he directly ordered others to take her away!
The clan elders, who had been watching the scene unfold with amusement, remained indifferent! To them, Lin Lang Qing Xin was insignificant!
...
Within a magnificent and vast structure... one of the most mysterious and unique families, the Buddha Mountain lineage!
A group of bald monks with indifferent expressions sat quietly, gazing at the pale white screen in front. A towering stone pillar, prominently displayed, caught everyone's attention!
"Amitabha, is this the returnee? Indeed, her talent is formidable. Ascending before forty and then reaching seventh place on the Godly Rankings in such a short time..."
"Fortune... is also a form of strength!"
"Senior brother is right. It is said that the Dragon Ancestor is also by her side!"
"With such a figure existing, this upper realm should... be saved!"
"Let us only hope that this returnee possesses a pure and transparent soul! The upper realm can barely hold on..."
"..."
A group of monks prayed silently, then collectively turned their gazes towards the fair-skinned and beautiful young monk at the very front. After a moment, the young monk opened his eyes. His pure and clear gaze, calm yet filled with compassionate benevolence, was captivating...
"It is almost time. We... should depart!"
His gentle voice, like his person, was serene and peaceful! It instantly spread throughout the entire building!
Upon hearing this, the monks looked up in surprise. Then, as they understood, joy and anticipation filled every face! They couldn't help but inquire!
"Buddha Son! Do you mean..."
The handsome monk nodded, his voice filled with compassion and serenity...
"Amitabha, we... will naturally go to welcome the returnee!"
Two other families also took note of the name Jin Bao'er, but their influence was the weakest among the Seven Great Families. They had no ambition for any rivalry in comparison.
...
Within the Immortal-Demon Battlefield!
Soon, the demon race attacked again, a sky-obscuring black mist surging from one direction!
Everyone stood up, the Dragon Clan instinctively growing to their colossal forms, spewing dragon breath everywhere! Heavenly Dao powerhouses braced themselves for battle...
Jin Bao'er maintained her human form, showing no intention of transforming. Who would have known that her transformed form, a small white dragon, would be beautiful and majestic, yet unable to utilize Soul Slaying and with chaotic control over spiritual energy!
Clearly, this body was resisting her, as she was not originally a dragon.
However, she had not yet found Long Li Xing's power, and with the current demon invasion, it seemed her power was the most effective offense. So, she decided to remain in this body.
After all, this was merely residual memory and power from the Immortal-Demon Battlefield. As long as she survived, it was fine!
"Heh heh, do you really think you have a chance of winning with this little girl? Hahaha!"
A mocking and sharp voice pierced their ears, extremely unpleasant. A monster covered in grotesque swellings gradually appeared in mid-air, its appearance resembling an ugly toad.
Jin Bao'er remained silent. Long Zhan's eyes were cold. His handsome face, juxtaposed with this grotesque creature, was like an angel descending from heaven, sacred and majestic!
"What are you blabbering about, you ugly thing? If you want to fight, fight! I'll let you taste my power today!"
A young cultivator spoke arrogantly, his unrestrained aura unwavering against the surging demonic energy! The disgust and disdain in his eyes were palpable.
Jin Bao'er glanced over, feeling a sense of familiarity. Looking at the older cultivators beside him, her eyes widened...
This refined and gentle demeanor, coupled with the young man's appearance, was a perfect replica of Gong Jue Mi Yin! This meant that!!
As she thought of this, she suddenly recalled something. She vaguely scanned the Heavenly Dao powerhouses scattered across the battlefield, and a guess began to form in her mind...
The Seven Great Families... so this was their origin! No wonder they had such deep roots in the upper realm for tens of thousands of years!
"Oh ho ho, Gong Jue kid is angry, haha! Since that's the case, I'll use you as a target!"
The sharp voice suddenly deepened, and black energy erupted, charging directly at the young man.
The war reignited, and all the demons lunged forward. Relying on their immortal advantage, they quickly reformed after being scattered. However, the damage they inflicted on the Dragon Clan and immortals was real!
Seeing this, Long Zhan also vanished from his spot, reappearing in mid-air to confront the demons at the very rear. His golden radiance was a stark contrast against the overwhelming darkness.
Jin Bao'er was different. The demons seemed to ignore her, only attacking the other dragons by her side...
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, but she decisively charged into the fray. Her light pink power exploded, causing the surrounding demonic energy to dissipate in terror as if encountering a ghost...
However, after about ten minutes of this situation, Jin Bao'er found it increasingly strange. For some reason, she felt like these demons were intentionally allowing her to kill them!
That peculiar feeling grew stronger, so she abruptly retreated, her face grim as she looked around.
