After a while, Linlong met the first person. His name was Guo Jingwu, and he had a good relationship with Gu Qingyun, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Stone Courtyard. Gu Qingyun had specially introduced him to Linlong, and he would always greet Linlong when they met in the main altar, acting like a senior brother.
Now that he saw Linlong, he smiled and greeted him, "Junior Brother Lin, what a coincidence. We actually met on the first level of the Concealed Land."
"Yes, Senior Brother Guo," Linlong said with a faint smile.
Of course, Linlong and Senior Brother Guo were just acquaintances, and they did not have much of a relationship.
"Junior Brother Lin, the beasts on the first level of the Concealed Land are quite powerful. Why don't we form a team? That way, we can at least fight our way to the second level," Guo Jingwu said.
"Senior Brother Guo, you must be joking. With your strength, fighting your way to the second level is a piece of cake. I think it's all thanks to you," Linlong said.
The first half of Linlong's words was the truth. As Guo Jingwu's strength had reached the Martial Overlord Realm, it was not difficult for him to survive the attacks of these beasts.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't say that," Guo Jingwu said.
After a discussion, the two of them formed a team.
Although the Demon Sect allowed disciples to kill each other, it did not prevent them from forming teams. After all, the outcome was determined by the outcome. Whoever survived to the end could enter the next level.
With Guo Jingwu around, Linlong naturally did not reveal his true strength. Guo Jingwu also acted like a senior brother and did his best to deal with the beasts they faced.
However, after a period of time, Linlong felt that something was wrong. When he turned his back to Guo Jingwu, he had a feeling that Guo Jingwu was going to attack him.
Linlong's powerful Divine Will gave him this intuition.
I'd like to see what he's up to. With that in mind, Linlong completely exposed his back to a ferocious beast.
Sure enough, seeing that Linlong was defenseless, Guo Jingwu, who was behind him, directly attacked while he was dealing with the beast in front of him.
A cold smile appeared on Linlong's face. At the critical moment, his body bounced to the left.
He dodged most of the attack, but was still hit by the remaining force. Immediately, he flew out.
Of course, this kind of attack was not a threat to him at all. He immediately stood up, and it seemed that he was not injured at all.
"You have a protective treasure on you?" Guo Jingwu couldn't help but exclaim.
"Guo Jingwu, I treat you as my senior brother. Why did you sneak attack me from behind?" Linlong asked coldly.
With no one around, Guo Jingwu wasn't afraid to tell Linlong the truth. He put on a helpless expression and said, "Linlong, you can't blame me for this. It was Senior Brother Wu who wanted your life. He came to find me and wanted me to deal with you. He's so strong and will definitely be the Sect Master in the future. Of course, I wouldn't dare to go against him."
"However, no matter how much I calculated, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful defensive treasure."
"Alright, I can't do anything to you. You can leave and pretend this never happened."
Guo Jingwu continued.
In this mystic realm, it only took two breaths of time to silently recite the rune terms to leave. In such a short time, and with Linlong on guard, Guo Jingwu knew that he couldn't hurt Linlong. That was why he said that.
"Oh, aren't you afraid that I'll tell my master and the Deputy Sect Master about this?" Linlong said coldly.
The Demon Sect allowed disciples to fight in this mystic realm, but they didn't allow people to stab others in the back.
"When the time comes, I'll just insist that I didn't do anything to you. Anyway, there's no one around us right now. No one can testify." Guo Jingwu revealed a proud expression.
He had already calculated in his heart that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage no matter what.
Of course, the reason why he was willing to help Wu Xin was that Wu Xin was willing to give him a suitable demonic technique. In a situation where he wouldn't be at a disadvantage, he naturally chose to help Wu Xin.
"Unfortunately, you're wrong." Linlong suddenly shook his head and smiled.
"Wrong?" Guo Jingwu didn't understand.
"Because you'll pay the price. Your life will remain here," Linlong said indifferently.
"My life will remain here?" Guo Jingwu was stunned, but he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Linlong, do you think you can deal with a Martial Overlord?"
Guo Jingwu was naturally aware of Linlong's strength. Although Linlong had performed well in the previous competition, he hadn't reached the Martial Overlord Realm. Why would Guo Jingwu take him seriously?
If not for Linlong's previous performance, he wouldn't have been so cautious just now. He would have attacked long ago.
"That's right. I can deal with a Martial Overlord Realm powerhouse. Furthermore, I can kill you with one move," Linlong said indifferently.
"Tsk tsk, since that's the case, let's give it a try." Guo Jingwu smiled. He wanted to see how good Linlong was.
Although he didn't take Linlong seriously, Guo Jingwu didn't dare to be careless. Hence, he directly activated his demonic technique.
Opposite him, Linlong also activated his demonic technique. Linlong used the Sky Demon Saber and the crimson flames of the Crimson Demon Flame.
At that moment, Linlong's entire aura underwent a huge change.
This change made Guo Jingwu's expression change greatly. However, he still felt that he could withstand Linlong's attack. Hence, he didn't turn around to escape. In fact, he didn't even think of leaving the rune.
It was also at this moment that Linlong's demonic aura transformed into a demonic saber and slashed at Guo Jingwu.
The moment the demonic aura appeared, Guo Jingwu's expression changed again. This was because he could clearly feel Linlong's strength. Linlong's strength wasn't what it seemed on the surface. He already had the strength of a Martial Overlord Realm expert.
"How is this possible?" As Guo Jingwu exclaimed in shock, the demonic saber slashed at Guo Jingwu with an extremely powerful aura.
"Hum …"
A black light with crimson flames streaked across like lightning. Subsequently, even though Guo Jingwu had used a defensive martial technique, he was still sent flying by Linlong's saber.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, Guo Jingwu fainted.
Before he fainted, Guo Jingwu was naturally filled with regret. However, such regret couldn't change the truth.
Subsequently, Linlong's figure flashed and appeared beside Guo Jingwu. However, Linlong didn't kill Guo Jingwu right away. Instead, he left after looting Guo Jingwu's belongings.
Linlong wasn't worried that Guo Jingwu didn't die. This was because as soon as he left, a ferocious beast appeared near Guo Jingwu and directly devoured him.
At this moment, even if the tracking rune mark on Guo Jingwu's body was activated, no one would know that Guo Jingwu had died in Linlong's hands.
The elders and the deputy sect leader outside quickly found out about Guo Jingwu's death.
"Jingwu is dead? How is this possible? There must be some accident. "Guo Jingwu's master, an elder with the surname Lu, was immediately shocked when Guo Jingwu died.
However, it was useless even if he was surprised. This was because the tracking rune mark didn't give him any useful feedback.
The people in the secret realm naturally didn't know about this. They were still hunting or hiding from the ferocious beasts inside.
Under the attacks of the ferocious beasts, many people were chased out of the secret realm. Of course, there were also some who couldn't escape in time and were devoured by the ferocious beasts.
However, such situations were relatively rare. After all, most people could escape successfully with the help of the rune mark.
After a long period of time, the time was finally up. At this moment, everyone in the secret realm saw a black light flash before their eyes. Then, they all left the secret realm.
A total of more than 100 people were eliminated. This situation was within the expectations of the deputy sect leader and the elders, so they weren't surprised.
The Stone Courtyard was very lucky. They only lost one disciple, and that disciple was only slightly injured.
"Alright, rest for half an hour. When the time is up, everyone can enter the secret realm again," the deputy sect leader said loudly.
The 'everyone' he was referring to was naturally those who had left the secret realm when the time was up.
After a while, Wu Xin's expression became somewhat ugly. This was because he realized that Guo Jingwu hadn't come out. After asking around, his expression became even uglier. This was because Guo Jingwu had died.
With Guo Jingwu's strength, he shouldn't have been unable to deal with these ferocious beasts. Could it be that he went to deal with Lin Li, and was killed instead? This thought flashed through Wu Xin's mind.
Although the rune tracking mark didn't give him any feedback, he couldn't help but think about it in this aspect.
Before he figured out the situation, he naturally wouldn't tell anyone that he had asked Guo Jingwu to deal with Linlong.
Apart from asking Guo Jingwu to deal with Linlong, Wu Xin had also asked a few other people to deal with him. Even if he encountered Linlong himself, he would definitely attack.
However, when he asked those people, they said that they didn't encounter Linlong.
Kid, I'll let you be happy for now. If I encounter you on the second level, I'll definitely kill you. Wu Xin thought to himself as he looked at Linlong, who was not far away.
Seven and a half minutes passed quickly, and then a black circle of light appeared in the void again. The devil sect disciples who were qualified to enter once again walked into the black circle of light.
Linlong, Su Fei, Gu Qingyun, and the others walked into the halo. However, after a flash of black light, he appeared in the secret realm alone again.
It seemed to be the same dense forest. However, the ferocious beasts on this level were clearly stronger than the previous one.
Furthermore, according to what the deputy sect leader said, the second level was half the size of the first. The number of ferocious beasts remained the same, but the secret realm was half the size, and the ferocious beasts were much stronger. Naturally, the difficulty was much higher.
However, this difficulty was nothing to Linlong. Of course, it wasn't much of a problem for the disciples who had reached the late stage Martial Lord realm either.
Linlong had only entered the secret realm for a short while, but he already encountered five ferocious beasts. This time, he spent even more time than before.
Not long after killing the ferocious beasts, he encountered a person. It was a young man who had been following behind Wu Xin.
