Chapter 285: Sword Ancestor

“This is—”

Lin Jing took out the Heavenly Demon Scroll, and the scroll floated in the air.

Seeing this, the red-haired woman revealed a confused expression.

Not only him, but most of the Cultivators who saw the Heavenly Demon Scroll did not recognize this item.

However, although they did not know what the Heavenly Demon Scroll was, everyone recognized the portraits on it!

“That is the Nine Infant Demon Lord of the Yin Corpse Sect—how could his portrait appear on it?”

“And the Heavenly Lion Ancestor,” someone said, seeing a lion-shaped Primordial Spirit.

“The image of Heavenly Fire Old Ancestor is also on this scroll. What exactly is going on? What kind of thing is this!”

Many people were stunned.

On the scroll, besides the images of powerful figures who shook the region, there were also numerous images of powerful Yao Beasts!

More than a dozen images of the Moon Wolf clan, dozens of images of Heaven-Swallowing Pythons, and hundreds of images of Corpse-Eating Ants filled the scroll, countless in number.

“Could it be.”

“Could it be that this is the supreme treasure of the destroyed Heavenly Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Scroll!”

Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

Among the three Dan Sect members walking through the air from the Tongtian Pagoda, the Sun Moon Pill Sovereign spoke in surprise.

“The Heavenly Demon Scroll can record the portraits of those within a certain range who harbor strong hostility toward the holder—”

“After the Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Scroll were unknown, yet it has appeared here.”

“Sun Moon Pill Sovereign!”

The Sun Moon Pill Sovereign arrived at the Alchemy Conference venue, and hearing her explanation, the crowd was in an uproar.

They looked at the scroll again, their hearts shocked.

It turned out that within Tongtian City, there were so many people and Yao Beasts plotting against the Longevity Physique. On it, there were several Profound Void Demon Ancestors alone!

“Dan Sect has a sharp eye; this item is indeed the Heavenly Demon Scroll.” Lin Jing smiled as he looked at the person who recognized the item.

Upon Lin Jing’s confirmation, the killing intent in the eyes of the Cultivators and Yao Beasts displayed on the scroll grew even stronger.

They were all inside or outside Tongtian City, watching the Alchemy Conference. At this moment, Lin Jing exposing their intentions was no different from humiliation.

“This kid—” In one place, the Vice President of the Academy felt dizzy. He tugged at his goatee, not understanding where Lin Jing had obtained this item. However, by taking it out, was Lin Jing worried that he didn’t have enough enemies?

Right now, there were indeed many people plotting against Lin Jing, but as long as they had not truly made a move, they might still consider the situation and eventually give up their original goal.

But now, Lin Jing had directly exposed those plotting against him. Even if these people could not get Lin Jing, they would certainly find a way to ensure he could never recover. After all, most people would not want a potential enemy with a terrifyingly long Lifespan.

“A suicidal act.”

“Does this human have something to rely on?”

Several Demon Ancestors said in low voices, wishing they could strike immediately.

However, at this moment, a voice came out.

“Let’s see who dares to touch him.”

Just when the people at the scene were not optimistic about Lin Jing’s future situation, suddenly, a sharp Sword Intent soared into the sky.

The Void Realm was pierced, and an old man in a sword robe with gray hair walked out holding a sword.

Swish!

The moment he appeared, the sky seemed to be pierced. Seeing this old man, the eyes of the Academy’s powerhouses in the crowd lit up.

“It’s him.”

The Vice President of the Academy was very pleasantly surprised. They had been waiting for reinforcements from the Ancient Kingdom for a long time, and they did not expect that this person would be the one to come.

With him here, the goatee-wearing Vice Dean had more confidence in protecting Lin Jing safely after the Alchemy Conference ended.

“The number one Sword Sect in the world, the Ancient Kingdom’s Heaven Sword Gate Old Ancestor, the Sword Ancestor.” Seeing this old man, someone recognized him.

A Sword Cultivator at the Void Profound Realm is known for their offensive power and unparalleled combat strength, not to mention someone as famous as the Sword Ancestor.

This was a legend from thousands of years ago, the Sword Cultivator with the most terrifying talent in the Ancient Kingdom thousands of years ago.

Everyone did not expect that the Ancient Kingdom would send such an old monster to protect this Longevity Physique.

“You must be Lin Jing.” The Sword Ancestor looked at Lin Jing: “From now on, I will ensure your safety.”

“Sword Ancestor.” Lin Jing was slightly stunned.

He had thought that as a student of the Academy, the Academy’s powerhouses might protect him, and as a member of the Demon Subduing Division, the Division’s powerhouses might also protect him. However, he did not expect that the person who came would be the Old Ancestor of the Heaven Sword Gate.

If there was any connection between him and this Sword Ancestor, it was that he knew his Personal Disciple.

The Ancient Kingdom’s Cold Moon Sword Immortal—

However, he and the Cold Moon Sword Immortal did not seem to have a very deep friendship.

Although she had always wanted him to become a Demon Subduing teammate and use the attraction of the Longevity Physique to slay demons together, he had always refused. At most, they had only met a few times.

How could a relationship of just a few meetings convince his Master to go to such lengths to come to Qingzhou and face several Void Profound Realm enemies?

The Sword Ancestor’s aura soared to the clouds; he had his own considerations. In fact, after the news about Lin Jing reached the Ancient Kingdom, most Kong Xuan powerhouses knew that the situation of the Longevity Physique was very dangerous.

But even the Child Immortal of the Demon Subduing Division, who thought highly of Lin Jing, did not intend to travel far to Qingzhou to help Lin Jing escape. After all, what he would have to face might not just be the Yin Corpse Sect and the Gu God Sect, but also the numerous Profound Void Demon Ancestors of Qingzhou.

However, the Sword Ancestor made a different choice.

“I have heard my disciple mention you. As a Longevity Physique, you have become the number one Prodigy of the Ancient Kingdom, and your future is immeasurable. Although my disciple did not ask me to come and rescue you because she was worried about my old bones, I can see that she does not want you to die so early.”

“I am now over five thousand years old and have failed to Ask Dao three times. My Lifespan is less than a hundred years. I came here for two reasons: first, it is rumored that you have a method to increase one’s Lifespan—if that is a rumor, so be it. Second, I want to use this great battle to make a final attempt to Ask Dao through battle. It is also, by the way, to build a good relationship for my disciple and the Heaven Sword Gate. If you successfully escape with my help, I hope you will take care of the Heaven Sword Gate during your lifetime. For you, a Longevity Physique, this should not be a very difficult thing, right?”

The Sword Ancestor transmitted his voice, getting straight to the point about his purpose. It turned out that his time was also running out.

So that was it…—

“Thank you, Senior.” Lin Jing cupped his hands. Although the Sword Ancestor had other motives, he was here to help him after all, so Lin Jing accepted this favor.

“Alright, Sword Ancestor, do not disturb the order of the Alchemy Conference. During the Alchemy Conference, no one can make a move against the participants.” At this time, the Creation Pill Sect spoke.

In the Void Realm, countless pairs of cold eyes were staring at the Sword Ancestor.

“Hehe—it seems a troublesome guy has come.”

“No wonder this Longevity Physique is so arrogant and finally dared to show his face, even taking out the Heavenly Demon Scroll. It turns out he has obtained the protection of the former number one Sword Cultivator in the world.”

“However, this old geezer’s time is running out. With his current state, it is far from enough to protect the Longevity Physique!”
