Sun Haoran shook his head and said, "I only heard from the seniors that it's a different place that can improve one's strength. I'm not sure about the specifics. It's even a mystery whether there's a powerful Spiritual Fire there."
"Oh, it's been a few hundred years. Why hasn't anyone been there?" Linlong asked.
"There's a very important reason. First of all, the jade pendants aren't in one person's hands. Each of our three sects has at least one jade pendant. After so many years, the three sects have been on par with each other, so it's very difficult to snatch the jade pendants from other sects. "
"Secondly, there's at least one jade pendant that's outside the three sects. It's even more difficult to gather all the jade pendants."
"Of course, there was one exception. It seemed to be over two hundred years ago. At that time, there was an exceptionally talented expert from the Wenchang Sect. His strength was even much stronger than the strongest experts from the other two sects. That time, under the pressure of that expert, the other two sects had no choice but to take out their Cat Shadow Jade Pendants. In addition, the Cat Shadow Jade Pendants that had been lost outside of the three great sects were also found by that expert. Therefore, that was the only time that someone was able to gather the Cat Shadow Jade Pendants and head to that place."
"Of course, although that expert was the one in charge and the other two sects also sent people, there was an accident when they were heading there. However, an accident happened when they were heading towards that place. In the end, they were unable to enter that place. This accident even caused one or two of the Cat Shadow Jade Pendants to end up outside the Three Sects. "
Sun Haoran said.
"Oh, do you know what accident it was?" Linlong couldn't help but ask.
"That I don't know. In short, for some reason, the three sects didn't have any information about that accident at all. Therefore, our descendants don't know what happened at all. We only know that it existed." Sun Haoran shook his head.
"Is that so?" Linlong pondered.
It could be said that Sun Haoran's words made him even more interested in that place. If it was possible, it might be where the Demonic Beast was.
Of course, everything was just speculation. If he wanted to know the reason, he could only go to that place.
"How many Cat Shadow Jade Pendants are there in total?" Linlong asked.
"There are a total of five Cat Shadow Jade Pendants," Sun Haoran said.
"Five pieces, huh? In other words, as long as I gather the other four pieces, I'll be able to get the map and head to that place." With that said, Linlong took out a jade pendant. It was the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant from before.
Sun Haoran couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant in Linlong's hand. "Where did you get this jade pendant from?"
"Don't worry. I didn't get the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant from your three sects. I got it from a warrior," said Lin Long.
"That should be the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant that was lost outside of the three major sects." Sun Haoran sighed in relief.
"Sect Leader Sun, since we've come to this point, you should take out your Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant, right?" Lin Long looked at Sun Haoran and smiled.
"This …" Sun Haoran's face twitched.
"What? Could it be that Sect Master Sun is unwilling?" Lin Long's face turned cold.
"It's not that I'm unwilling. The Cat Shadow Jade Pendant is in our Heavenly Sunlight Sect. More than half of the elders have to agree before it can be taken out." Sun Haoran smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Sun Haoran wasn't lying, Lin Long said directly, "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Sect Master Sun."
"What are you trying to do?" Sun Haoran was shocked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Long had already made his move.
Lin Long's palm struck at Sun Haoran. He didn't just use a simple palm strike. He used the Metal Spiritual Fire, Ice Spiritual Fire, Lotus Heart Purple Flame, and the Flame of Ten Thousand Swords.
After all, there were two other major sects in the Thousand Leaf Mountain. Lin Long didn't want to waste too much time on Sun Haoran.
Sun Haoran's back immediately broke out in cold sweat when he saw how powerful Lin Long's palm strike was. He had only heard that Lin Long had many spiritual fires and could use them at the same time.
Now, he finally saw how terrifying this attack was.
Sun Haoran, who had an ugly expression on his face, naturally unleashed his full strength as well. He sent a palm towards Lin Long, the palm strike burning with a dark black flame.
This was clearly a powerful spiritual fire. However, it was too weak compared to Lin Long's other spiritual fires.
Hence, even though his cultivation level was clearly higher than Lin Long's, he was forced to retreat after the palm strike.
When he wanted to counterattack, his expression immediately turned even uglier. He didn't know when someone had appeared behind him.
At this unexpected moment, a palm struck him. He was immediately sent flying and fell in front of Lin Long.
Lin Long quickly cast a few restrictions on Sun Haoran's body. Just like that, the powerful Sun Haoran was directly restrained by Lin Long in the blink of an eye.
The thing that suddenly attacked Sun Haoran from behind was naturally the Runic Puppet.
Given the Runic Puppet's strength and the sneak attack, how could Sun Haoran not fall for it?
Then, Lin Long directly made Sun Haoran swallow a Demonic Corpse Pill. The moment the pill entered his stomach, Sun Haoran's expression immediately changed. "What is this?"
Lin Long did not speak. Instead, he removed the restriction he had just cast, then silently recited a runic term. The moment he recited the term, Sun Haoran immediately felt an extreme pain in his stomach.
Even if it hurts, I have to endure it, then activate the profound energy in my body and think of a way to leave. This thought emerged in Sun Haoran's mind.
However, just as he was about to activate the profound energy in his body, he felt his stomach ache even more. It was so painful that he immediately gave up on activating his profound energy.
Sun Haoran could not help but ask, "What exactly is this?"
Only then did Lin Long stop, then calmly smiled. "This is a Demonic Corpse Pill. As for its effect, you also felt it just now."
"Demonic Corpse Pill. It really lives up to its name." Sun Haoran's face twitched.
Once Lin Long stopped, he could not feel the pain anymore. However, he believed that if Lin Long were to recite the runic term just now, he would immediately be in unbearable pain again. Therefore, he did not dare to move recklessly.
"This Demonic Corpse Pill will be fine as long as you don't recite the runic term. In other words, as long as you listen to me obediently, I will not make things difficult for you," Lin Long said calmly.
"What exactly do you want?" Sun Haoran asked.
"It's very simple. Right now, my goal is the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant. As long as you cooperate with me to get them, I will not make things difficult for you." Lin Long calmly smiled.
"Get them?" Sun Haoran was stunned. This was because Lin Long did not only want him to get the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant from the Tianzhao Sect.
"That's right." Lin Long nodded, then said, "Just now, you said that each of the three major sects has at least one piece. Which sect has an extra piece? Or is the other piece outside of the three major sects?"
"That I do not know." Sun Haoran shook his head.
At this moment, Lin Long walked inside and slapped Sun Junyu awake. When he said some crucial words just now, he directly slapped Sun Junyu until he fainted.
Seeing that Sun Junyu had woken up, Lin Long called out, "Sun Junyu."
"Young Master Lin, I'm here." Sun Junyu, who had regained his senses, hurriedly said.
"You can leave now." Lin Long said.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin." Sun Junyu could not help but be overjoyed. After tasting Lin Long's restriction, he wanted to get as far away as possible.
Although that was what Lin Long said, he was afraid that Lin Long was just joking. Hence, he carefully watched Lin Long as he walked. When he saw that Lin Long really had no intention of making him stay, he quickened his pace.
When he reached Sun Haoran's side, he said, "Father, I'll leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Sun Junyu's behavior made Sun Haoran speechless. He wondered how he had such a son.
However, Sun Junyu was his only son after all. Seeing that Lin Long was willing to let him go, he naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
…
While Lin Long was dealing with Sun Haoran, the people from the three major sects at the foot of the Thousand Leaf Mountain all looked worried.
The reason was simple. They already knew that the six elders of the Tianshou Sect had been captured by the masked man.
"Sect Master Li, I think there are people helping Lin Li, and those people are quite powerful," Bai Ran said to Xu Tianwen with a frown.
"That should be the case." Xu Tianwen nodded. His face was naturally ugly.
The stronger the enemy was, the more difficult it would be for them to deal with him.
At this time, Xu Tianwen even had a slight intention to retreat. Hence, he said to Bai Ran, "Sect Master Bai, why don't we retreat from the Thousand Leaf Mountain first and see what the other party is planning?"
"No way!" Bai Ran said resolutely.
Their White Flame Sect's White Flame Statue had been destroyed. How could he retreat just like that?
Just as they were having such a dilemma, they suddenly saw Sun Junyu, who had run all the way to not far away from them.
Seeing Sun Junyu appear, they and the people from the other three major sects couldn't help but be overjoyed. They thought that Sun Haoran had used some ability to subdue Lin Long.
They immediately went to meet him, and the others followed closely behind.
"Junyu, did your father capture Lin Li?" As soon as they came in front of Sun Junyu, they immediately asked.
"No, he didn't. My father was captured by him, and then he released me," Sun Junyu said with a bitter smile.
"What?" Hearing his words, everyone around him was stunned.
They thought that Sun Haoran had used some kind of divine ability to capture Lin Long. They didn't expect that he had only exchanged Sun Junyu.
"Do you know why Lin Li captured your father?" Xu Tianwen asked hurriedly.
"I don't know." Sun Junyu shook his head.
He only knew that his father had swapped him out.
Hearing Sun Junyu's words, Xu Tianwen and Bai Ran couldn't help but look at each other.
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
At this moment, all of them asked the same question.
