Runes suddenly flashed on the bodies of the nine of them. In the next instant, faint runic arrays appeared around them.
As soon as the runic array appeared, an extremely powerful energy enveloped them. It was many times stronger than the Four Swords of Origin Formation.
"So this is what the Nine-by-Nine Return to One Sword Formation looks like. It's so powerful!" Many people couldn't help but exclaim.
Although these people were from the Wenchang Sect, they had never seen the Nine-by-Nine Return to One Sword Formation. It could be said that Lin Long had broadened their horizons today.
"The Nine-by-Nine Return to One Sword Formation is so powerful. Lin Li will definitely lose!"
"He's not just going to lose! He's definitely going to die! "
After exclaiming in surprise, all of them began to exclaim. It was as if they could already see Lin Long's appearance under the sword formation.
However, what they didn't expect was that just as Xu Tianwen and the others were about to completely activate the sword formation, Lin Long's figure suddenly flashed, and he actually fled into the hall.
"That kid is trying to escape!" The surrounding people all exclaimed.
Xu Tianwen couldn't help but shout, "Where do you think you're going?!"
The moment they spoke, the nine of them struck out with their swords at the same time. In the next moment, a strand of sword Qi immediately appeared on the runic formation. The sword Qi was extremely powerful, and like a bolt of white lightning, it struck towards Linlong, who was sprinting in the hall.
This was the Nine-by-Nine Return to One Sword Formation. It could gather the energy of nine powerhouses together to form an even more powerful sword aura.
However, no matter how powerful the sword aura was, it seemed to be a little too slow. This was because it only caught up to Lin Long after he entered the hall, and it struck Lin Long through the wall of the hall.
"Rumble!"
Amidst such a loud noise, the originally extremely sturdy hall collapsed directly from the attack of the sword aura.
"Although it's separated by the wall of the hall, the sword aura is so powerful. That kid Lin Li must have been chopped into minced meat!"
The people from the Wenchang Sect all said the same. Although they didn't see Lin Long being struck by the sword aura with their own eyes, they felt that the sword aura was so powerful that the wall was as thin as paper. Lin Long would definitely be injured by the sword aura.
The people of the Wenchang Sect all thought so, but Xu Tianwen felt that something was wrong. Thus, before the dust had completely settled, he had already rushed towards the main hall.
Very quickly, his expression became unsightly because he didn't notice the figure of that person at all. In other words, that person had fled in that short period of time.
"Sect Master can't find that brat. I'm afraid that brat has really turned into dust." Someone actually laughed out loud at this moment.
However, Xu Tianwen's incomparably cold voice rang in their ears, "Yu Yuan, do you have a secret passage under this hall?"
As soon as they heard Xu Tianwen's voice, the people who were laughing immediately broke out in a cold sweat. How could they still dare to laugh?
Yu Yuan immediately replied, "Sect Master, there is indeed a secret passage under the hall … and I escaped through it right under that kid's nose."
"Damn it, that brat escaped through the secret passage!" Xu Tianwen couldn't help furrowing his brows. He turned to Yu Yuan and said, "Quick, bring me to the exit of the secret passage."
"But, there are two exits of the secret passage," Yu Yuan hurriedly said.
At this moment, he was really glad that he only made two exits. Otherwise, Xu Tianwen, who looked like he was about to devour someone, would definitely vent his anger on him.
"Where are the two exits? Quick, tell me," Xu Tianwen said impatiently.
Yu Yuan hurriedly told him where the two exits were.
Prosperous Water City was their territory, so Xu Tianwen and the others roughly knew where the exits were as soon as Yu Yuan told them.
"Is that so? The people from the Nine Return to One Sword Formation, follow me to the southern exit. The rest of you, head to the other exit," Xu Tianwen immediately said.
In Xu Tianwen's opinion, Linlong must have escaped to the southern exit that was the furthest away. Because of this, he personally headed to that exit.
After that, the people of the Wenchang Sect immediately sprinted in the direction of the two exits.
Not long after they left, a figure suddenly appeared in the main hall. It was Linlong.
He didn't leave immediately, but hid near the entrance of the secret passage. He even heard Xu Tianwen's words clearly. He only came out of the secret passage after Xu Tianwen and the others had gone far away.
The reason Linlong escaped was naturally because he knew he was no match for the Nine Return to One Sword Formation. If he fought it head-on, there would definitely be no benefit, so he chose to escape.
When he was about to leave, he was also struck by the Sword Qi. However, he relied on his body technique and a defensive martial skill that he managed to activate in the nick of time to block the Sword Qi.
With Linlong's powerful Divine Will, he naturally knew that there were many experts hiding in the dark other than Xu Tianwen and the others from the Wenchang Sect. However, these experts also left with Xu Tianwen and the others.
They didn't expect Linlong to be hiding near the entrance of the secret passage.
Of course, if it was anyone else, they would have been immediately discovered by Xu Tianwen and the others if they had chosen to do the same thing as Linlong.
The reason Linlong wasn't discovered was because of his Dantian Record's ability to conceal his aura.
Just now, he unleashed the Dantian Record's ability to conceal his aura to the extreme, and he immediately tricked Xu Tianwen and the others.
These people had the advantage in numbers, and they also had such a powerful sword formation. There was no way he could fight them head-on, so he could only use his wits. With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately walked out of the main hall.
As soon as he walked out, a few figures actually surrounded him.
Linlong naturally noticed their existence long ago. However, because their strength was ordinary, he didn't take them seriously.
"Brat, you're pretty smart. You actually didn't move and let Xu Tianwen and those old foxes chase after you … Luckily, I'm smart and didn't get tricked by you," the young man who seemed to be the leader of the group said proudly as soon as they appeared.
"Tsk tsk, self-righteous," Linlong said indifferently.
Just as he was about to attack them, the person beside the young man shouted, "How dare you speak to Senior Brother Junyu like that? Are you tired of living?"
Hearing this, Linlong couldn't help but ask, "You're Sun Junyu, the son of the Heavenly Sunlight Sect's sect master?"
The reason why he knew was naturally because of his previous understanding of this world. Although he didn't take Sun Junyu seriously, his strong divine will and outstanding memory allowed him to memorize Sun Junyu's name after hearing it once.
Now that he heard this, he naturally remembered who Sun Junyu was.
"I am indeed Sun Junyu. Why, are you scared?" Seeing Linlong's seemingly shocked expression, Sun Junyu became even more proud.
"Yeah, I'm really a little scared." Linlong couldn't help but smile.
Sun Junyu actually didn't hear the sarcasm, so he continued proudly, "Lin Li, I don't think your strength is that great. If you rely on me, I, Sun Junyu, will definitely ensure your safety."
"How do you know my strength is not that great?" Linlong was a little curious.
"If you're powerful, why did you piss your pants when Xu Tianwen didn't even activate the Nine-in-One Sword Formation just now? In my opinion, there must have been an expert secretly helping you. Otherwise, how could you have such abilities at such a young age? Now that those powerhouses saw Xu Tianwen and the others appear, they immediately fled. You don't have any helpers, so you are at a loss … "
"How pitiful. Those powerhouses actually can't even see this. Even my father didn't listen to my advice and directly chased after Xu Tianwen. Fortunately, I am smart. Otherwise, wouldn't I have let you escape?"
Sun Junyu said proudly again.
"Not bad, not bad. Young Master Sun, you are very smart. They can't compare to you." Linlong smiled again.
"Since you think that Senior Brother Junyu is smart, why don't you kneel and beg for mercy? Beg to become Senior Brother Junyu's subordinate?" the person beside Sun Junyu said coldly.
Hearing Linlong's words, they, who really thought that Linlong was a "liar", started to flatter Sun Junyu even more.
"It's a pity that I have never kneeled to anyone. What should I do?" Linlong spread his hands and said.
"Looks like you are itching for a beating!" Sun Junyu was instantly enraged.
At this moment, how could he not see that Linlong was making sarcastic remarks?
Sun Junyu was enraged and the people beside him immediately rushed toward Linlong.
Although Linlong was making sarcastic remarks, because of their previous speculation and the fact that they could not feel the aura of an expert from Linlong, they did not take Linlong seriously.
They thought that they would definitely take down Linlong together. Therefore, at this moment, Sun Junyu crossed his arms and looked at Linlong who was being stepped on by his followers.
However, what made his expression change was that his followers were directly knocked to the ground before they could even touch Linlong's clothes.
The strongest among them was Sun Junyu, who had the strength of a Lv 1 Martial King Realm.
As for the others, they had not even reached the Martial King Realm. Therefore, how could they be a match for Linlong? Linlong easily knocked them to the ground with a palm.
"Looks like I, Sun Junyu, have no choice but to make a move." Sun Junyu's expression darkened.
Even though Linlong easily defeated his followers, he did not think that Linlong was very strong.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stimulated the Profound Qi in his body and attacked Linlong with a palm.
In the next moment, Linlong casually hit him with another palm and directly sent him flying.
At this moment, Sun Junyu's expression changed greatly because he realized that Linlong's realm was fundamentally higher than his. He was completely fooled by Linlong just now.
Of course, although the realm was higher, it did not necessarily mean that it was powerful. Therefore, Sun Junyu still held onto the hope that he could defeat his opponent after using the Spiritual Fire.
Therefore, as soon as he got up, he immediately stimulated his Spiritual Fire.
In an instant, a black flame ignited on his body.
Although this Spiritual Fire was much weaker than the Sect Masters', it was still one of the best among the young talents in this world.
Therefore, Sun Junyu's confidence immediately returned.
"Kid, once I use my Black Core Spiritual Fire, you will definitely lose miserably." Sun Junyu sneered.
"Oh, is that so?" Linlong could not help but smile.
"It's useless even if you apologize now because you've already angered me. I'll definitely teach you a harsh lesson and let you know why the sky is so high and so blue!" Sun Junyu raised his palm as he spoke, and a force carrying black flames immediately attacked Linlong.
Looking at the other party's incoming energy, Linlong casually hit out with his palm again. He used his Metal Spiritual Fire.
When the energy energy hit, the situation where Sun Junyu's Black Core Spiritual Fire would crush his opponent did not occur. Instead, his Black Core Spiritual Fire disappeared without a trace.
Not good! Just as he was feeling alarmed, an invisible force directly attacked his body.
With a bang, Sun Junyu was directly sent flying and then smashed hard on the ground behind him.
Before he could come back to his senses, Linlong was already by his side.
"You are actually so strong!" Sun Junyu could not help but shout.
At this moment, he regretted not chasing after Lin Fan with his father. He regretted even more that he did not take Lin Fan seriously. Otherwise, he would not be under Lin Fan's control now.
"Bro … Brother Lin, let me go … Let me go. My Tianzhao Sect will definitely treat you as a distinguished guest. The Wenchang Sect would not dare to do anything to you …" Sun Junyu hurriedly looked at Linlong.
"You are wrong. I do not need it at all," Linlong said calmly.
"Believe me. I am the son of the Tianzhao Sect's sect leader. Moreover, I am the only son. As long as I promise, my father will definitely do it," Sun Junyu said again.
Who knew that Linlong still raised his palm.
Seeing that the temptation did not work, Sun Junyu actually started to threaten Lin Fan. "Lin Li, I am the son of the Tianzhao Sect's sect leader. If you kill me … the Tianzhao Sect will definitely not let you off …"
Who knew that before he could finish his sentence, Linlong's palm energy had already landed on him.
With a soft sound, Sun Junyu directly fainted.
The reason why Linlong did not kill Sun Junyu was because he thought of a plan. That was to use Sun Junyu to lure the Tianzhao Sect's sect leader out.
Seeing that Sun Junyu had actually walked right into the trap, Linlong naturally did not hold back after encountering such trouble against the Wenchang Sect's sect leader.
After taking down Sun Junyu, he heard footsteps coming from not far away. It was obvious that there were strong people rushing over. Linlong immediately released the rune puppet and quickly disappeared from the place.
After they left, a few figures appeared outside the main hall of the City Lord's Residence.
Looking at the few people lying on the ground, two of them could not help but exclaim.
"Aren't these people from the Tianzhao Sect? Why are they lying here?"
"Do you even need to ask? Lin Li must not have gone far. These people blocking the way were directly knocked down by Lin Li." The leader of the few people said. This person was in his forties or fifties and had a shiny bald head. He looked like an elder of a certain sect.
"Elder Mu is still the best. You can predict things like a god," the person beside him complimented.
"But we are still a little too late. If we were a little earlier, we would probably have met Lin Li. Lin Li must have been injured by the Nine Return to One Sword Formation. It was a great opportunity for our White Flame Sect, but we missed it." Elder Mu sighed.
He was indeed a little regretful. If the Empress Dowager had found out later, there would have been hope if she had rushed over earlier.
"It's not too late. We can still make it if we rush down now," someone said.
Elder Mu frowned. "Chase? Do you know where to chase?"
Hearing Elder Mu's words, that person was instantly stunned. Indeed, the other party did not seem to have left any traces. Where to chase?
