As the elders surrounded Lin Long, Huo Qinghan suddenly did something that the elders did not expect: she stood in front of Lin Long.
"Junior Brother Lin is really capable. If we really have to deal with that demon later, Junior Brother Lin will definitely be able to help. Therefore, I won't allow you to hurt him!" Huo Qinghan said coldly.
She was not looking for an excuse at this time, but she really remembered that Lin Long was really capable of doing so.
"Qinghan, I'm afraid you are doing this for your own benefit," Elder Du sneered. Elder Du sneered. "I really don't know what drug Lin Li gave you to make you defend him like this."
"Wang Yu and the others also said that this kid has bewitched Jingxuan, and they are also on his side. I'm afraid that he has learned some kind of amazing charm technique," one of the elders said.
Wang Yu and the others did not dare to say this in public after being threatened by Huo Qinghan. However, they still spread the news to their master, and then to this elder.
Now that Huo Qinghan was so protective of Lin Long, he would naturally say this out loud.
"I heard that there really is such a charm technique." The others could not help but nod.
"Junior Brother Lin doesn't have any charm technique. I'm only defending him because he is really capable!" Huo Qinghan's expression turned cold as she stared at the elder with an extremely sharp gaze.
This caused the elder to subconsciously shrink his head.
Elder Du said coldly, "Qinghan, we watched you grow up. I didn't expect you to be bewitched by this kid to the point of going astray!"
"Qinghan, get out of the way. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to use the sect rules on you!" another elder said coldly.
As he spoke, an elder even activated his demonic technique.
Seeing that a huge battle was inevitable, Elder Yan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Elders, perhaps this Lin Li really does have some kind of ability. If we deal with him like this, we might really lose a great help later …"
"Elder Yan, what do you mean?" Elder Du could not help but be puzzled when he heard Elder Yan's words.
If he didn't know that Elder Yan hated Lin Long to the core, he would have thought that Elder Yan was intentionally helping Lin Long.
"Elder Du, Qinghan is the sect master's daughter after all. If we start a dispute with her and hurt her, the sect master will definitely bear a grudge against us. It won't be good if he finds an opportunity to deal with us," Elder Yan said to Elder Du through voice transmission.
"Are we going to let this brat off just like that?" Elder Du could not help but frown.
"Of course not. We'll find an opportunity to deal with that brat when Qinghan isn't paying attention. At that time, even if Qinghan manages to react, we'll have already dealt with him," replied Elder Yan. He had also communicated with Elder Du through Secret Voice Transmission.
"Alright, let's do that then." Elder Du immediately agreed to Elder Yan's suggestion after thinking for a while.
Because Elder Yan was right. If they treated Huo Qinghan like this, even if they had a good reason to do so, Huo Zhengcheng would definitely hold a grudge against them.
After agreeing to Elder Yan's suggestion, Elder Du immediately said loudly, "Elder Yan is right. Therefore, for the sake of the bigger picture, I'll let Lin Li off for the time being."
The others all followed the lead of these two elders. Now that they had already said so, how could they have any other thoughts? All of them nodded in agreement.
Huo Qinghan could not help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw that the storm had come to an end just like that. She had thought that the two elders had only let Lin Long off for the time being. Who would have thought that they were actually full of evil tricks?
With that, the group continued to move forward in the maze as they searched for the others.
After a while, a panicked voice suddenly sounded from a distance away. It was obvious that someone had been pestered by an evil spirit.
Huo Qinghan immediately rushed in that direction when she heard the voice.
Lin Long, who was beside Huo Qinghan, did not move and remained in the same spot.
This situation made Elder Yan and Elder Du extremely happy because this was the best opportunity to deal with Lin Long.
After gesturing for a few people to follow Huo Qinghan, Elder Yan and Elder Du immediately surrounded Lin Long and activated their demonic arts.
Then, they simultaneously attacked Lin Long with their palms.
There was no way they would let go of such an opportunity. Even though it would be beneath their dignity to attack Lin Long with their strength, they did not hesitate to do so.
Lin Long smiled faintly as he watched the incoming palm strikes from the two. Then, he immediately unleashed his Wind Flame.
The moment the Wind Flames appeared, the Profound Qi on his body immediately danced wildly like a hurricane and swept toward Elder Yan and Elder Du.
At this moment, everyone in the surroundings was dumbfounded because they realized that Lin Long was not using a demonic art at all. Not only that, but they also realized that Lin Long's strength had already reached the Martial King Realm.
While everyone was still in shock, Lin Long's energy had already sent the two elders flying.
After using his strength, the two careless elders were no match for Lin Long.
"Heavens, this kid actually cultivates a cultivation technique other than demonic arts!"
"This kid actually has the strength of a Martial King? How is this possible?"
For a moment, everyone stared blankly at Lin Long. They simply could not figure out how the young Lin Long managed to achieve this.
Elder Yan and Elder Du, who were in a daze from the fall, quickly got to their feet. At this moment, their eyes were also filled with astonishment.
After a moment of astonishment, Elder Yan's expression turned cold again. "Kid, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. However, don't be too pleased with yourself. The two of us were merely careless earlier and did not use our full strength, allowing you to take advantage of an opening. Once we use our full strength, coupled with the people around us, you will not be a match for us at all."
After saying that, he directly said to the surrounding people, "Everyone, attack together."
As he said that, the surrounding people also activated their demonic arts.
It was also at this moment that Huo Qinghan, who had returned, stood in front of Lin Long again.
"Anyone who wants to deal with Junior Brother Lin now will be my enemy!" Huo Qinghan fearlessly said as she looked at the surrounding people.
"Qinghan, don't blame us if you want to court death," Elder Yan said as he ignited his spirit fire.
