"Elder Yan, Lin Li is obviously trying to intimidate us. If we don't punish him and capture him, the other people in the stronghold will inevitably be displeased. Moreover, we have to capture him. Why don't we take this opportunity to capture him? Not only will we achieve our goal, but we can also establish our authority," Elder Du said to Elder Yan through voice transmission.
"That's fine." After thinking about it, Elder Yan immediately agreed.
Elder Yan and Elder Du seemed to be on equal footing, but Elder Du still followed Elder Yan's lead. After all, Elder Yan's abilities were superior to his in all aspects.
Elder Yan then said, "Lin Li's actions are an insult to our Sacred Gate. Hence, after discussing with Elder Du, we have decided to send people to capture Lin Li immediately."
Elder Dong immediately heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Elder Yan's words.
"Elder Yan, Lin Li is not weak. If we attack him in such a grandiose manner, he will definitely be on guard and might even escape at any time. Hence, I think we should pretend to listen to Lin Li's request and let Elder Dong take the lead. The rest of us will follow behind Elder Dong and wait for an opportunity to strike. What do you think?" one of the elders suggested.
"Yes, that's a good idea." Elder Yan nodded in agreement.
He then looked at Elder Dong and asked, "Elder Dong, what do you think of this idea?"
Elder Dong nodded as well. "I agree."
Elder Dong felt that no matter how powerful Lin Long was, he would not be able to subdue him before the people behind him arrived. Due to this reason, he agreed to the idea even though it was a little risky for him.
Elder Yan had the same thought as well.
"Let's do that then." Elder Yan made the final decision.
Elder Yan then personally selected six elders. Including Elder Dong, there were eight of them, and he himself was one of them.
With such a stance, he was confident that he would be able to deal with Lin Long.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they did not alert Lin Long and let him know that so many of them were following behind Elder Dong.
Subsequently, the group of them immediately headed toward the stone cave indicated on the paper ball.
Elder Dong walked at the very front while the rest of them followed behind him.
In order not to alert Lin Long, they kept a certain distance from Elder Dong.
After spending a lot of effort, Elder Dong finally found the cave that the paper ball pointed to.
"Lin Li, Elder Dong, I'm here. Release my nephew, Dong Changyu!" Elder Dong shouted as soon as he arrived in front of the cave.
As soon as he finished speaking, his vision blurred and a figure appeared before him. It was Lin Long.
"Lin Li, where is my nephew?" Elder Dong couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Long instead of Dong Changyu.
"Over there." Linlong pointed behind him.
Elder Dong immediately looked in the direction that Lin Long was pointing at. His expression immediately changed because Dong Changyu was nowhere to be seen.
"You lied to me?" Elder Dong's face darkened.
It was at this moment that Linlong leaped up and slapped him with his palm.
Lin Long's palm strike was surrounded by three different colored flames, causing Elder Dong to be momentarily alarmed.
This was because he realized that Linlong's attack was extremely powerful.
However, at this time, he could only bite the bullet and respond with a palm strike.
In an instant, a wave of demonic aura shot toward Linlong.
"Bang!"
A dull sound rang out as the force struck and a person was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
The person who was sent flying was naturally Elder Dong. How could he be a match for Lin Long who used three types of spirit flames?
How could this kid be so powerful? Elder Dong was extremely shocked.
Even though he had seen Lin Long in action, he didn't expect Lin Long to send him flying with a single palm strike.
Elder Dong suffered serious injuries after being sent flying, but he felt that he could still escape. After all, he was still a certain distance away from Lin Long.
Hence, the moment he landed, he immediately endured the pain all over his body and turned around to run.
However, before he could take a few steps, a black figure flashed in front of him and blocked his path. It was Lin Long who was just behind him.
"How are you so fast?" Elder Dong couldn't help but exclaim.
However, he was answered by Lin Long's sudden palm strike.
How could the already injured Elder Dong block it? He immediately fainted.
At this moment, Elder Yan and the others who noticed that something was amiss rushed over. However, when they arrived at the place where Lin Long and Elder Dong fought, Lin Long was nowhere to be seen.
"He's just ahead?" Elder Yan swept his gaze across the area and noticed Lin Long sprinting in front of him. At the same time, he chased after Lin Long.
The others naturally followed closely behind him. However, they felt helpless because as time passed, they were getting further and further away from Lin Long.
In the end, a few evil spirits suddenly appeared from the side, causing them to completely lose track of Lin Long.
After killing those evil spirits, Elder Yan and the others couldn't find where Lin Long had escaped to.
"That damned Lin Li!"
In the end, Elder Yan could only curse angrily before returning in defeat with the other elders.
When they returned to the stronghold and saw the members of the Demon Sect standing outside, their faces turned even uglier.
So many of them went to chase after Lin Li, but not only did they fail to catch him, they even lost Elder Dong. How could they feel good about this?
"Elder Yan, where are Elder Dong and Dong Changyu? Didn't they come back together?" a disciple of the Demon Sect asked foolishly.
Elder Yan was so angry that he directly slapped him.
Seeing this situation, the others didn't dare to ask anything.
On the other side, Lin Long brought Elder Dong to the cave where Gu Qingyun and the others were before letting the rune puppet put Elder Dong down.
As soon as he put Elder Dong down, Lin Long slapped Elder Dong to wake him up.
"Uncle, you're here too." Dong Changyu's voice came from the side as soon as Elder Dong woke up.
Hearing this voice, Elder Dong was almost angered to death.
"Lin Li, you're good," Elder Dong said coldly as he stared at Lin Long.
"Elder Dong, do you know why I caught all of you?" Lin Long said expressionlessly.
"Why?" Elder Dong asked.
"Of course it's because of Jingxuan. If it weren't for you, Jingxuan would be fine," Lin Long said coldly.
Indeed, if it weren't for them, Jingxuan would at most be caught and brought back to the stronghold. In the end, she would still be rescued by him.
But now, he didn't even know where Jingxuan was. He didn't even know if she was dead or alive.
"Changyu, you told him the truth?" Elder Dong couldn't help but glare at Dong Changyu when he heard Lin Long's words.
"Lin Li's restriction is too powerful. I had to tell him the truth," Dong Changyu said with a wronged expression.
"Coward!" Elder Dong couldn't help but scold him.
"There's no use scolding him. You'll all pay for it!" Lin Long said.
