It was known that in the entire Upper Realm and even the whole world, the longest lifespan of a human did not exceed ten thousand years. Apart from the Dragon and Phoenix clans who were born divine beasts, and some demonic beasts with ancient bloodlines who could live for a long time, and then there were high-level demonic beasts like Kuang Hou who had cultivated to the Heavenly Emperor realm and could live even longer... there were no others!
What shocked her was that the old man before her was so emaciated that it was impossible to tell if he was male or female. She boldly released her divine sense along with the power of the Great Dao, but what she received back was an empty shell...
It was very much like an empty shell with only a divine sense attached! No soul, no cultivation, and no warmth!
No wonder... she could ignore Long Li Xing's oppressive aura!
This also explained why Long Li Xing had suddenly asked that question just now!
At this moment, as soon as she finished speaking, the group of people from the Seven Great Families and sects, who had just regained control of their bodies, were instantly stunned...
Especially the Lin Lang family. Upon hearing the words "Lin Lang Liu Li," they immediately felt a sense of familiarity. After a moment, they suddenly woke up, their eyes fixed on the emaciated old man...
Lin Lang Liu Li, their ancestor from tens of thousands of years ago! As the family head, he had to be familiar with the family tree! Because the family did not allow people with the same name!
The old patriarch's figure paused at the sound, his gaze instantly locking onto Jin Bao'er, a killing intent accompanied by a chilling aura washing over them...
"Who are you?"
No denial, no anger, no surprise! But it was an indirect acknowledgment of Jin Bao'er's words!
He really was Lin Lang Liu Li!
The most shocked among them was the Lin Lang family head, who blurted out in disbelief! His face was filled with incredulity.
"How is it possible! Lin Lang Liu Li is an ancestor of my Lin Lang family, who died tens of thousands of years ago..."
He paused, his expression blank as if he had thought of something...
Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a shocked expression! There was complexity, apprehension, and deep suspicion...
Those who could stand out among the tens of thousands of disciples of the great families to become family heads were not fools! With the words spoken, how could they not understand!
If Lin Lang Liu Li could live for so long, it must be due to some heaven-defying method, and one person from his clan with a numb expression clearly knew the inside story. This meant... the clan had been planning something for at least ten thousand years, and the Seven Great Families were completely unaware of it!
The more they thought about it, the more panicked they became, their gazes growing increasingly somber and complex...
A few elderly family heads even had a flicker of excitement in their eyes! In another hundred years, their lifespans would also be nearing their end! If the clan was willing to lend a hand, even with that ugly face, they would be willing!
Jin Bao'er was momentarily stunned by Lin Lang Liu Li's direct acknowledgment, followed by all sorts of conspiracy theories!
Any heaven-defying act must have a greater conspiracy or scheme behind it! And it must come at a greater cost, even at the cost of one's soul...
Long Li Xing felt a little regretful. Being as intelligent as he was, he quickly understood the reason for Jin Bao'er's actions. Although he was annoyed by her "use and discard" behavior, he also knew that the current situation seemed more bizarre...
He turned to look at the old patriarch, his brow furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he managed to blurt out a sentence.
"Lin Lang Liu Li? Is that the idiot who troubled you on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield back then?"
The entire scene fell silent!
Jin Bao'er nodded silently! She was also a bit speechless. She had heard that that woman was devoted to the Dragon God and had caused her trouble back then. Who knew that the impression she left on Jin Bao'er was that of someone who had caused her trouble... an idiot?!
One had to admit, she was truly cold!
Lin Lang Liu Li's expression finally broke at this remark! His wrinkled face contorted, and killing intent erupted instantly, his eyes fixated on Jin Bao'er with a crimson glow! A hint of disbelief in his gaze!
"It's you? How is it possible? Impossible!"
She denied it with conviction, her gaze cold, mocking, and contemptuous!
"That woman is a pure-blooded dragon, and you are just a lowly wretch who ascended from the lower realm a few years ago! Know-it-all! Heh!"
According to the information she had received, this woman had only gained favor with the Dragon Ancestor! With the help of a man, her cultivation had skyrocketed, and with good luck, she had obtained some immortal artifacts. To put it bluntly, she was a dependent waste!
If it weren't for that alluring face and the good fortune of saving the Dragon Ancestor, how could such a woman have these opportunities! If she had none of these, she would likely never have been able to set foot in the Upper Realm in her life and would have remained an ant in the lower realm!
In response, Jin Bao'er didn't mind giving her a fatal blow! She looked at the old man before her and then smiled, stunning everyone with her radiant and dazzling beauty! Her tone, however, was extremely cold!
"Fairy Liu Li is truly forgetful! It's been a long time since we parted. I thought I would never see you again. I didn't expect you to still be alive. As the saying goes, evil men live long lives! You... must have done countless heinous deeds!"
Her demeanor, her tone, her stunning beauty...
It was exactly like the scene back then when she exposed her hypocrisy in front of everyone! Even more so was the presumptuous declaration of "mating with the Dragon God" with such a matter-of-fact attitude!
Lin Lang Liu Li trembled all over, swaying unsteadily and retreating. Her eyes were filled with disbelieving shock! In her midnight dreams, she had hated that woman to death and wished she could tear her face apart at that moment!
But she had been indignant because that woman had long since died! Now... she had returned! And she had appeared before her with an even more beautiful appearance!! How could she not hate her!?
These few words left everyone present utterly bewildered! But it didn't prevent them from enjoying the spectacle...
At this moment, Lin Lang Liu Li took a deep breath, suppressing the resentment that threatened to consume her sanity. Her gaze shifted to Long Li Xing, the man she both loved and hated, his face ashen!
"Didn't the Dragon Ancestor want to save that beast?"
She extended her emaciated finger, then quickly retracted it, opting to use her gaze to signal! She felt stifled and uncomfortable! Her voice was firm as she said:
"That cage is built with the foundation of the Great Dao. Even if you have cultivated to the pinnacle of the Great Dao, you cannot destroy it! As long as you agree to do three things for me, I will definitely hand over the key!"
Long Li Xing frowned. After a divine sense probe, he discovered the material of the black cage! It was filled with the power of the Great Dao's foundation. He wondered what method the clan had used to refine the foundation of the Great Dao into such a form...
However... a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes! Would he be controlled by a mere phoenix? Heh! At worst, he would take the person and the cage together and study them slowly later! As long as the phoenix was alive!
"Pfft! You..." Want to die? I'll grant you that!
Before he could finish, Jin Bao'er stepped forward, saying with a hint of curiosity.
"Oh? What three things?"
Seeing this, Lin Lang Liu Li's face turned green! She glared at Jin Bao'er through gritted teeth, her killing intent palpable!
"The first thing, kill this bitch for me!"
