Guo Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, something like that happened. However, we separated after that. I don't know where he went."
"Guo Xiaoxiao, did you kill the heir and escape back to the Xing Wu Academy?" General Jiang asked.
"No!" Guo Xiaoxiao lifted her head and looked at General Jiang.
"If you didn't, why would the heir die for no reason?" General Jiang said coldly.
"General Jiang, perhaps something unexpected has happened." At this moment, the beautiful middle-aged woman, Elder Yao, hurriedly said.
After all, Guo Xiaoxiao was her favorite disciple. Therefore, she would help Guo Xiaoxiao no matter what.
"General Jiang, perhaps something unexpected happened. How about this? Give us some time and we will investigate in the academy. Perhaps someone saw the heir return to the academy," Principal Teng said.
"We can also search the place where the heir went missing. Perhaps we can find some clues," another elder said.
"We have searched that place seriously, but we didn't find any clues," Huang Ji said as he shook his head.
"Perhaps the clues are outside that place. After all, you have fewer people, but we have more people. Perhaps we can find some clues if we expand the search area," Principal Teng said.
"Alright, I will give you seven days. If you can't find anything, we can only take Guo Xiaoxiao as a suspect and bring her back to the Imperial Residence!" General Jiang said coldly.
"Thank you, General Jiang," Principal Teng said hurriedly.
After all, Guo Xiaoxiao was an outstanding disciple of the Xing Wu Academy. If she was captured, it would be a great loss to the Xing Wu Academy. Therefore, he naturally wanted to prevent such a thing from happening.
"Alright, Teacher Wang, bring General Jiang and the rest to rest. As for us, we will immediately call the disciples over to see if anyone knows about the heir's whereabouts," Principal Teng said to one of the teachers.
"Principal Teng, we don't need to rest first," General Jiang said as he waved his hand.
He wanted to take a look at the disciples of the Xing Wu Academy to see if they had discovered anything.
"Alright." Principal Teng nodded and ordered the other teachers and elders to call the disciples of the Xing Wu Academy over.
After giving the order, he said to General Jiang, "General Jiang, let's go to the martial arts field outside."
The hall naturally couldn't accommodate so many people.
Immediately, everyone walked out of the hall and arrived at the martial arts field outside.
Not long after, all the disciples in the academy were called to the square.
At this moment, Principal Teng finally spoke. "Which one of you has seen Xie Cheng in the past few days? If anyone has seen him and can provide clues, the academy will reward them with 10,000 to 100,000 contribution points according to the quality of the clues. "
A reward of ten thousand to a hundred thousand Contribution Points. This immediately caused the disciples present to boil with excitement.
"Ten thousand to one hundred thousand, it really makes one envious. Unfortunately, I have never seen Senior Brother Xie Cheng before."
"Senior Apprentice Brother Xie Cheng's disappearance has actually caused such a sensation, even the people from the Fourth King's Mansion have come."
"You don't know this, but Xie Cheng is actually the fourth prince's son."
"What?"
…
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, General Jiang led his subordinates through the crowd. His gaze swept across everyone with extreme sharpness.
Seeing General Jiang walk past them, the disciples did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Not long after, General Jiang and the others arrived at Linlong's side. Although he was the one who killed Xie Cheng, how could Linlong expose himself to General Jiang and the others?
However, there was still one person who stared at him with widened eyes. That person was Huang Ji.
Could this brat be related to the prince's death? With this thought in mind, he immediately attached himself to General Jiang's side and said something.
Hearing his words, General Jiang immediately walked in front of Linlong.
"Greetings, General," Linlong immediately said.
"Huang Ji said he saw you in the Xingwu Mountain Range before?" General Jiang asked.
"General, it was the academy's trial. They sent us new disciples to hunt Scarlet Flower Snakes. I chased a Scarlet Flower Snake too deep, and in the end, I met this senior," Linlong said.
"Then did you discover anything?" General Jiang asked again. As he spoke, his gaze naturally swept across Linlong's body with extreme sharpness.
"In the end, I spent a Herculean effort to come out, but during the process, I did not discover anything." Linlong shook his head.
"Is that so?" After saying that, General Jiang stared at Linlong for a few more times before continuing to walk down.
After a while, General Jiang finally finished walking around. However, from his appearance, it seemed like he did not discover anything.
Principal Teng walked to General Jiang's side and asked, "General Jiang, if there is nothing, should we dismiss them?"
General Jiang only nodded and did not say anything.
Principal Teng immediately understood his meaning and immediately said, "Everyone, disperse. However, try to spread this news so that those who are not in the academy today know."
After all the disciples had left, Principal Teng turned to General Jiang and said, "General Jiang, let's wait for those disciples who haven't returned in time and see if they have any information. How about we search the Xingwu Mountain Range tomorrow?"
"Yes." General Jiang directly nodded in agreement.
In other words, no matter what, Guo Xiaoxiao would be taken away by the people from the Fourth Marquis Residence. Linlong thought in his heart as he walked.
No, I can't let them take Guo Xiaoxiao away. Then, Linlong shook his head.
This was because in a situation where they could not find the culprit, Guo Xiaoxiao would be tortured or even killed by them no matter what.
Although Linlong did not want such an outcome, he did not know what to do. With his current strength, he was not a match for the people from the Fourth Marquis Residence.
The only possibility was to take Guo Xiaoxiao away. However, he felt that with Guo Xiaoxiao's personality, there was a high chance that she would not agree to this.
After returning to his residence, Linlong thought for a long time before he finally made a decision.
After making this decision, he began to carry out his previous plan, which was to deal with the people from the Lei family.
Then, Linlong left the Xingwu Academy and headed towards the courtyard of the Lei family.
Not long after, Linlong arrived outside the Lei family's courtyard.
The reason why Linlong dared to kill his way here, other than the fact that this was the border of the Xingwu City, was because there were not many people from the Lei family left. Furthermore, there were only two third-level warriors, and one of them was naturally Lei Peng.
The Lei family was originally weaker than the Fan family. Moreover, the Lei family was far away from here. Therefore, it was already very good that they could bring so many people here.
After walking one round around the courtyard and getting a better understanding of the situation inside, Linlong headed straight for the gate of the courtyard.
"Who is it?" The warrior guarding the gate immediately shouted.
"Call your patriarch out!" Linlong said coldly.
"Tsk tsk, who do you think you are? You want to see our patriarch?" The man said coldly.
When he saw Linlong's face, he could not help but be shocked. He could not understand why Linlong dared to kill his way here alone.
Linlong could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He directly sent a palm strike out.
"You …" The powerful palm force caused the warrior's expression to change drastically.
He did not even have time to dodge and was directly sent flying by Linlong's palm strike. Then, he breathed his last.
"Who is it?" Hearing the commotion, five or six people immediately rushed out from the inner courtyard.
"Lin Li!"
"You actually dare to come to our Lei family? You must be tired of living!"
When they saw that the person in front of them was Linlong, they could not help but be shocked. Then, they immediately rushed towards Linlong.
Linlong directly took out the Rune Sword and used Wu Lin's sword technique. After a few moves, these people were all killed by him.
At this moment, another two people rushed out from inside. One was a middle-aged man, the other was an old man.
Linlong knew this old man. He was the patriarch of the Lei family, Lei Peng.
These two were the last two people of the Lei family left in Xing Wu City. Moreover, they were both level three warriors.
Seeing that it was really Linlong, Lei Peng could not help but exclaim, "Lin Li!"
After the exclamation, he could not help but ask, "You are a level three warrior?"
This was because if Lin Li was not a level three warrior, it was impossible for him to kill his subordinates in such a short period of time.
"Patriarch Lei, it seems that you are not blind." Linlong said with a slight smile.
"Lin Li, weren't you a level one warrior previously? How did you suddenly become a level three warrior?" Lei Peng asked with a frown.
Thinking of something, he could not help but ask, "Could it be that you already had the strength of a level two warrior at the peak stage, and only recently advanced to a level three warrior?"
However, he quickly shook his head. If that was the case, there was no reason that Linlong's blood did not contain the ingredients of a level two Qi Strengthening Pill.
"I won't tell you the reason. You only need to know that I am a level three warrior." Linlong said calmly.
"Lin Li, did you kill all the people of our Lei family who were following you?" The middle-aged man at the side asked in a low voice.
When Linlong came out of Xing Wu City, the Lei and Fan families immediately followed him out. This was the first time they knew about it.
As they were sure that Linlong was not a match for those people, they did not follow him. However, it seemed that those people were most likely dead.
"That's right, they were all killed by me." Linlong said.
"Good lad, you actually killed so many people of my Lei family. I, Lei Peng, will not rest until you are dead!" Thinking that so many people had died in Linlong's hands, and that only the two of them were left of the Lei family in Xing Wu City, Lei Peng immediately roared in anger.
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to stimulate the energy in his body to deal with Linlong.
At this moment, the middle-aged man at the side stopped him. "Patriarch, let me test Lin Li's strength first."
"Very well." Lei Peng suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Lad, watch carefully." With that said, the middle-aged man immediately took two steps forward and stood in front of Linlong.
After standing still, he took out his rune sword.
As soon as he took out the rune sword, he attacked Linlong with all his might.
In an instant, a powerful sword aura went straight for Linlong's face.
Linlong also attacked with his sword. When the sword aura hit, Linlong could not help but retreat.
"Hahaha, I was wondering how strong you would be." Seeing this situation, Lei Peng could not help but laugh.
As he laughed, the middle-aged man attacked Linlong with his sword again.
Knowing that his opponent's realm was higher than his, if he did not use martial arts, he would most likely not be able to take down his opponent. Therefore, Linlong directly used Wu Lin's sword technique.
As soon as Wu Lin's sword technique was used, his sword technique immediately became somewhat unpredictable.
Seeing the changes in Linlong's sword technique, Lei Peng could not help but exclaim, "You actually learned a sword technique!"
As powerful as he was, he naturally could tell that Linlong was using a sword technique.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
After two moves, the middle-aged man's sword aura did not even touch Linlong's body. This made him a little anxious.
"Lei Shan, don't panic. You are clearly stronger than him. Even if he has a sword technique, he can't do anything to you," Lei Peng hurriedly said.
However, he quickly realized that he was wrong. This was because in the next move, Linlong's sword aura suddenly attacked Lei Shan's body and directly sent him flying.
Then, Linlong chased after Lei Shan like a maggot attached to a bone.
The other party had two third-grade martial artists. If he killed one of them first, it would naturally be easy to deal with them.
However, how could Lei Peng give him such a chance? His figure moved, and Lei Peng had already taken out his rune sword and attacked him.
Linlong knew that if he continued to deal with Lei Shan, he would definitely be injured by Lei Peng's sword. Therefore, his right foot tapped the ground and his figure immediately retreated.
Lei Peng did not chase after him. Instead, he flew towards Lei Shan.
Lei Peng had yet to arrive, but he was already extremely anxious. "Lei Shan, are you alright?"
Lei Shan stood up shakily and said to Lei Peng, "Patriarch, I'm fine … I'm just a little injured."
"That's good." Lei Peng nodded. Then, he said, "That's good. Watch from the side and see how I deal with Lin Li!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked coldly at Linlong. "Lin Li, I didn't expect you to be so strong and hide your strength so deeply. However, no matter what, you are no match for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly moved and directly attacked Linlong with his sword.
Linlong could not help but frown slightly. He could see that Lei Peng was much stronger than Lei Shan. His realm was clearly above a third-grade martial artist.
Knowing that he would not be a match for his opponent if he did not use his sword technique, Linlong used Wu Lin's sword technique.
Do you think you're the only one who knows sword techniques? Lei Peng sneered in his heart. At the same time, his sword technique also changed.
Bang, bang, bang …
In the blink of an eye, the two of them exchanged three moves.
After these three moves, Lei Peng was immediately shocked. This was because he realized that Linlong's sword technique was not as easy to deal with as he had thought. In fact, it was clearly much stronger than his own sword technique.
After taking a few steps back, Lei Peng asked in surprise, "What sword technique is that? Why is it so strong?"
The sword technique that Lei Peng was using was a yellow-level mid-grade sword technique. In his opinion, such a sword technique was already very strong, but it was clearly much weaker than the sword technique that Lin Li was using.
"I don't need to tell you that." An unfathomable smile flashed across Linlong's face.
Of course, he did not know what grade Wu Lin's sword technique was, but he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary yellow-level sword technique.
After hearing Linlong's words, Lei Peng frowned again. He said coldly, "Kid, don't be too happy. So what if your sword technique is strong? My realm is much higher than yours. I can completely make up for this deficiency and defeat you!"
After saying that, Lei Peng waved the rune sword in his hand again and attacked Linlong.
However, what happened next showed him that he was wrong. After two moves, he was directly struck by Linlong's sword, and he was directly sent flying.
Fortunately, he was protected by the rune armor. Otherwise, that sword would definitely have injured him.
Seeing the situation, the middle-aged man at the side hurriedly said, "Patriarch, this fellow is too troublesome. It is better for me to join forces with you."
If the news of the two of them joining forces to deal with a youth were to spread, Lei Peng would definitely be disgraced. However, there was nothing Lei Peng could do now. He could only say in a low voice, "Alright!"
Then, the two of them stood in front of Linlong.
"Lin Li, I, Lei Peng, will definitely kill you tonight!" Lei Peng said word by word as he looked at Linlong.
Now that the two of them joined forces, he believed that Linlong would not have a chance to escape.
