"This is..."

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

The red-haired woman looked bewildered.

Not just her, most cultivators who saw the Celestial Demon Scroll did not recognize it.

However, although they didn't know what the Celestial Demon Scroll was, everyone recognized the images on it!

"That is the Nine-Child Demon Venerable of the Yin Corpse Sect... How could his image appear on it?"

"And the Celestial Lion Ancestor..." Someone noticed a lion-shaped primordial spirit.

"The image of the Celestial Fire Ancestor is indeed on this scroll. What's going on? What exactly is this thing!"

Many people were dumbfounded.

On the scroll, besides the images of renowned powerhouses, there were also images of numerous formidable demon beasts!

The images of a dozen Moon Wolves, dozens of Heaven-Devouring Pythons, and hundreds of Corpse-Eating Ants... countless, filling the scroll.

"Could it be..."

"Could it be that this is the ultimate treasure of the now-extinct Celestial Demon Sect, the Celestial Demon Scroll?"

Suddenly, a voice came from afar.

Among the three Pill Sect members who walked out of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the Sun and Moon Pill Sect spoke in surprise.

"The Celestial Demon Scroll can record the images of those within a certain range who hold strong hostility towards the bearer..."

"After the Celestial Demon Sect's extinction, the Celestial Demon Scroll's whereabouts were unknown, yet it appears here."

"Sun and Moon Pill Sect!"

The Sun and Moon Pill Sect arrived at the Pill Conference venue, and upon hearing her explanation, everyone was in an uproar.

They looked at the scroll again, their hearts stirred.

It turned out there were so many people and demon beasts within Heaven-Reaching City with ill intentions towards the Longevity Body. On the scroll, there were several Void Profound Demon Ancestors alone!

"Pill Sect has good eyes. This item is indeed the Celestial Demon Scroll." Lin Jing saw someone who recognized the item and smiled.

With Lin Jing's affirmation, the cultivators and demon beasts appearing on the scroll showed even fiercer killing intent in their eyes.

They were inside and outside Heaven-Reaching City, observing the Pill Conference. Lin Jing revealing their intentions was no different from an insult.

"This kid—" At one spot, the deputy dean of the academy turned pale, tugging at his goatee, puzzled where Lin Jing got such a thing, but Lin Jing pulling it out seemed like he was inviting more enemies.

Indeed, many people around harbored ill intentions towards Lin Jing, but as long as they hadn't acted, there was a good chance they would give up their original purpose based on the situation.

But now, with Lin Jing exposing those with ill intentions towards him, these people would surely seek ways to prevent Lin Jing from rising. Most people wouldn't want a potentially frightening enemy with a long lifespan.

"A suicidal act."

"What reliance does this human have?"

Several Demon Ancestors whispered, eager to act immediately.

However, at this moment, a voice rang out.

"Let's see who dares to touch him."

Just when those present were not optimistic about Lin Jing's future situation, suddenly a sharp Sword Intent soared into the sky.

The void was pierced, and a gray-haired old woman in a sword robe walked out.

Buzz!

At her appearance, even the firmament seemed penetrated. Upon seeing this old woman, the academy's powerhouses lit up.

"It's her."

Academy deputy dean was delighted. They waited a long time for reinforcements from the Ancient Country, but unexpectedly, it was this person who came.

With her presence, the goatee deputy dean had more confidence in protecting Lin Jing after the Pill Conference ended.

"The number one Sword Sect in the world, the Ancient Country's Celestial Sword Sect's ancestor, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor..." Someone recognized her.

A Sword Cultivator in the Void Profound stage...

Sword Cultivators are known for their offensive prowess, unmatched in combat power, especially a renowned figure like the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor.

This was a legend from thousands of years ago, the most gifted Sword Cultivator in the Ancient Country from thousands of years ago.

Unexpectedly, to protect this Longevity Body, the Ancient Country sent such a monstrous elder.

"You are Lin Jing." The Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor looked at Lin Jing and said: "Next, I will protect you."

"Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor..." Lin Jing was slightly stunned.

He had thought that as an academy student, academy powerhouses might protect him, and as a member of the Demon Extermination Bureau, its powerhouses might also protect him, but he never expected that the one who came would be the ancestor of the Celestial Sword Sect.

If he had any connection with the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, it was that he knew the master disciple.

Ancient Country, Ling Yue Sword Immortal...

Yet, it seemed he didn't have a very deep connection with Ling Yue Sword Immortal.

Though she always wanted him to become a demon-slaying teammate, using the Longevity Body's allure to slay demons, he always refused. Their relationship was no more than a few encounters.

Such shallow ties couldn't possibly persuade her master to travel to Qingzhou, facing several Void Profound stage enemies.

The Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, however, made a different choice.

"I once heard my disciple mention you, declaring you as the Ancient Country's number one prodigy with immeasurable prospects. Although my disciple worried about this old bone not asking me to rescue you, I could tell she didn't want you to die too soon."

"I'm over five thousand years old now, having failed three times to ask Dao, life expectancy is less than a century. One reason I came is the rumor you possess a method to extend life, albeit if it's false, then so be it. Another reason is to use the battle to make a final attempt, to ask Dao through combat, and incidentally, form a good relationship between my disciple and the Celestial Sword Sect. Should you escape with my help, I hope you can take care of the Celestial Sword Sect in my lifetime, which shouldn't be difficult for a Longevity Body like you, correct?"

The Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor conveyed, straightforwardly sharing her intentions, revealing her nearing end.

So, that's it...

"Thank you, Senior." Lin Jing clasped his fists. Although the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor had her motives, she came to help him, and Lin Jing accepted this kindness.

"Alright, Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, don't disrupt the order of the Pill Conference. During the conference, no one can act against the participants." At this time, the Creation Pill Sect spoke.

In the void, there were countless cold eyes fixed on the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor.

"Hehe... seems a troublesome figure has arrived."

"No wonder this Longevity Body is so audacious, finally daring to show up and even take out the Celestial Demon Scroll, having gained protection from the former number one Sword Cultivator."

"However, this old woman is nearing the end too. At her current state, attempting to protect the Longevity Body is far from enough!"
