That night, Linlong and the rest naturally stayed in the White Flame Sect.
Bai Ran's cultivation was destroyed and he was locked in the dungeon of the White Flame Sect. The entire White Flame Sect was also thrown to Sun Haoran and Shi Hong.
Sun Haoran and Shi Hong were naturally overjoyed. They didn't expect that it would be a blessing in disguise.
Although they still had the Demonic Corpse Pill in their bodies, they could tell that if they didn't disobey Linlong, the Demonic Corpse Pill wouldn't have any effect on them.
…
That night, Linlong and the rest slept soundly, but the people of the Wenchang Sect couldn't sleep. It was very simple. They heard that Linlong led the people of the Tianzhao Sect to attack the White Flame Sect, defeated the White Flame Sword Formation, and took over the White Flame Sect.
Before the sect master of the Wenchang Sect, Xu Tianwen, gathered everyone, the elders had already come to look for him.
"Sect Master, the sect master of the Tianzhao Sect, Sun Haoran, surrendered to Lin Li. Even the Supreme Elder of the Tianzhao Sect, who suddenly appeared, surrendered to Lin Li. Then, they directly went to the White Flame Sect and took over the White Flame Sect. According to this, they will most likely attack our Wenchang Sect!"
"The sect master of the Tianzhao Sect is already powerful enough to have a Supreme Elder. Now, the White Flame Sect has also been conquered by Lin Li. With his current strength, we are no match for him at all!"
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
Hearing these questions, Xu Tianwen's frown deepened.
He didn't know what to do now, so he simply gathered all the elders and those in charge of the sect overnight.
After everyone had gathered, Xu Tianwen said in a low voice, "Now that the facts are in front of us, Lin Li has taken over the Tianzhao Sect and the White Flame Sect, and he may attack our Wenchang Sect at any time. What do you all think we should do?"
Naturally, everyone began to discuss it all at once.
When these people were almost done, Xu Tianwen concluded, "There are only two ways to deal with it. One is to defend our Wenchang Sect and use the sect's Rune Formation and sword formation to deal with them. The other option is to surrender to Lin Li. However, if we surrender, we have to hand over the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant. "
Of course, in addition to these two points, there was also a third point, which was that the entire Wenchang Sect should be reduced to nothing and leave the Wenchang Sect, giving the Wenchang Sect's foundation to the other party.
However, such words were immediately opposed by the majority of the people present. Most of them felt that this was their foundation, and they could not hand it over to someone else. Of course, the biggest reason was that their lives would be extremely difficult after leaving this place.
It was also because of this that Xu Tianwen directly ignored this point.
"Then let's raise our hands to vote. We'll choose the way to deal with the situation with the most people," Xu Tianwen said.
He didn't know what to choose, so he made such a suggestion.
What Xu Tianwen didn't expect was that after he said this, he immediately received the approval of the majority of the people present.
Obviously, they were conflicted and didn't know which one to choose.
Every option had its pros and cons. If they chose the first option, they would have a chance to protect the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant. However, the probability of the Wenchang Sect being taken down by the enemy was also very high. After all, the White Flame Sect's White Flame Great Sword Formation couldn't do anything to the enemy.
If he chose the second option, the most direct loss would be the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant.
"Alright, let's raise our hands to vote. Those who agree with the first option, raise your hands …" Xu Tianwen immediately said.
Very quickly, he got the result. Most of them chose the second option, which was to surrender and give the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant to Lin Li.
Obviously, most of them didn't want to have any conflict with Lin Long.
After confirming this, Xu Tianwen immediately heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, he realized that he didn't want to have any conflict with Lin Li at all.
Just like that, early the next morning, Xu Tianwen immediately brought his people to the White Flame Sect. In order to show his sincerity, he even brought only two people with him.
Moreover, these two people were ordinary people.
When Xu Tianwen arrived at the White Flame Sect, Lin Long had just woken up. After hearing the news, he immediately asked Sun Haoran to bring them in.
Very quickly, Xu Tianwen and the other two were brought in front of Lin Long.
"Greetings, Young Master Lin," Xu Tianwen and the other two immediately greeted respectfully when they saw Lin Long.
"Sect Master Xu, what brings you here so early in the morning?" Lin Long immediately asked.
Although the person who came in to report had already explained the reason for Xu Tianwen and the other two's visit, Lin Long naturally wanted Xu Tianwen to say it personally.
"It's like this, Young Master Lin. After a discussion, the people of the Wenchang Sect decided to surrender to you and give you the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant," Xu Tianwen said.
As Xu Tianwen spoke, he took out a wooden box and opened it in front of Lin Long.
Looking into the wooden box, Lin Long saw a jade pendant lying in it. From the looks of it, it should be the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant.
"Young Master Lin, this is the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant. Please take a look," Xu Tianwen said respectfully.
Lin Long immediately took it. After looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but nod his head. This was indeed the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant.
"Sect Master Xu, why did you surrender?" Lin Long asked as he looked at the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant.
"Of course, it's because Young Master Lin is powerful." Xu Tianwen smiled bitterly. Then, he hurriedly said, "We did something wrong previously. I hope Young Master Lin can be magnanimous and forgive us."
With the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant in his hand, Lin Long naturally wouldn't argue with him.
However, there were only four Cat Shadow Jade Pendants in his hand. There was still one left. So, he immediately asked, "Sect Master Xu, do you only have one jade pendant?"
He had also taken the White Flame Sect's Cat Shadow Jade Pendant. Moreover, Bai Ran was already under his control, so he didn't dare to lie. In other words, if there was any sect that had one more jade pendant, it would definitely be the Wenchang Sect.
"Young Master Lin, our sect indeed only has one Cat Shadow Jade Pendant. If you don't believe me, you can go to our sect and check it out," Xu Tianwen hurriedly said.
Seeing that Xu Tianwen wasn't lying, Lin Long didn't make things difficult for him.
Then, he directly said to Xu Tianwen and Sun Haoran, "Then, I'll give you three days. Three days to find me the other jade pendant."
Hearing Lin Long's words, Xu Tianwen and Sun Haoran naturally smiled bitterly. But what else could they do other than listen to Lin Long?
"If anyone has the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant, please bring it to the White Flame Sect. We will reward you handsomely!"
Very quickly, Xu Tianwen and Sun Haoran got people to spread the news.
Not only that, they even personally led the search.
A day passed, but they didn't find it. They also didn't receive any information.
However, on the morning of the third day, a white-haired old man suddenly came to the White Flame Sect and requested to see Lin Long, saying that he had the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant.
"Cat Shadow Jade Pendant? How can someone like you have the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant? " Looking at the old man who was in his seventies or eighties and had a hunched back, the guard directly said such words, wanting to chase the old man away.
In his opinion, the old man was simply trying to cheat them of their food.
"I really do have the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant," the old man said bitterly.
"If you have the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant, then quickly take it out!" The guard immediately shouted.
"I do have the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant, but it isn't with me," the old man said again.
"You liar, scram!" Hearing the old man's words, the guard became even more suspicious and directly scolded.
Who would have thought that the old man still had no intention of leaving? The guard couldn't help but roll up his sleeves.
Just as he was about to chase the old man away, a voice suddenly rang in his ears. "What's going on?"
Turning around, he saw that it was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sunlight Sect, Shi Hong. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly said, "Supreme Elder, this person said that he has the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant, but he can't take it out. He's obviously trying to trick us."
Shi Hong ignored the guard and looked at the old man. "You said that you have the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant?"
"Yes, Lord," the old man nodded.
"Then, where are you from? Where is the Cat Shadow Jade Pendant?" Shi Hong narrowed his eyes.
"I can't tell you that. I will only tell Young Master Lin about it when I see him." The old man shook his head.
"How dare you! Don't you know that this is Elder Shi Hong of the Heavenly Sunlight Sect? He's Young Master Lin's most capable subordinate!" The guard took the opportunity to shout at the old man.
"If I don't see Young Master Lin, I will definitely not say this, even if I die." The old man actually didn't even frown.
"Is that so?" Shi Hong couldn't help but laugh coldly.
Then, he moved his hand and grabbed the old man's purlicue.
With just a little bit of force, the old man was in so much pain that the veins on his forehead popped out. With a little more force, the old man even knelt down.
But even so, the old man still didn't say a word.
"Supreme Elder, I think we should just feed this person to the dogs." The guard took the opportunity and said.
Who knew that Shi Hong would stare at him and say, "Shut up!"
The guard instantly broke out in cold sweat. He didn't know how he offended Shi Hong.
Then, what surprised him even more was that Shi Hong actually said to the old man, "Since that's the case, follow me."
With that, Shi Hong turned around and left. The old man swung his arm and followed.
Very quickly, Shi Hong brought the old man to Lin Long.
"Young Master Lin, this old man said that he has another Cat Shadow Jade Pendant, but he didn't bring it with him." Shi Hong said to Lin Long.
Before Shi Hong said anything, Lin Long's face was already filled with shock. He realized that this old man was actually a normal person.
"Young Master Lin, no matter how I asked, he refused to say anything. He said that he will only tell you when he sees you. Although he's just a normal person, I feel that there's something strange about him. So, I brought him here for you to take a look." Shi Hong said.
