The reason why they did this was because it was unrealistic to look for Guo Xiaoxiao at this time.
From their point of view, there was a high chance that Guo Xiaoxiao would come to save Linlong. Hence, they might as well wait for Guo Xiaoxiao to come to them.
Of course, even if Guo Xiaoxiao didn't come, they would still be able to reap benefits by keeping Linlong by himself.
This time, there was a third rank martial artist holding the line. They were naturally not worried that anything would happen.
After another two hours, they finally arrived near Yin Sky City. However, they didn't enter Yin Sky City. Instead, they went around Yin Sky City and continued to advance towards the Fourth Marquis Residence.
After an hour, they entered another tall mountain.
Not long after they entered, seven or eight people suddenly appeared in front of them.
These seven or eight people didn't wear masks. However, they didn't recognize any of them.
"Who are you people?" The third brother couldn't help but frown.
"Is the young man you're holding Lin Li from Xing Wu Academy?" One of the seven or eight people suddenly asked.
"So what if he is? So what if he isn't?" The third brother said coldly.
"If that's the case, then please put him down and scram as far as you can!" The person who spoke before chuckled again.
"My apologies. This person isn't Lin Li," the third brother said.
"Not Lin Li? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? "The other person sneered.
"I really don't know. How did you know that he is Lin Li and happened to be waiting for us here?" Knowing that the other party had already confirmed Lin Long's identity and that a fight was inevitable, the third brother couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"It's very simple. Someone told us," the other party said.
Hearing this, the expressions of the people from the Lu Family Village couldn't help but turn ugly.
"Kill them!" Uncle Heng, who had been silent all this while, said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately drew his rune sword and attacked the person who spoke. It was obvious that this person was the leader of the other party.
Once Uncle Heng attacked, the people from the Lu Family Village also raised the weapons in their hands and charged at the other party.
A chaotic battle erupted just like that.
After a round of killing, the expressions of the people from the Lu Family Village turned ugly. This was because among the seven or eight people, there were actually two third rank martial artists and the rest were all second rank martial artists.
These two rank 3 martial artists might not be a match for Uncle Heng individually, but if they worked together, Uncle Heng wouldn't be a match for them.
As for the others, they were all Level Two Martial Artists, so the Lu Village was no match for them.
They were no match for him in either aspect. As time passed, they naturally found it more and more difficult.
After a while, a "ding" sound could be heard. Uncle Heng was stabbed in the back by a single person.
This sword caused Uncle Heng to suffer quite a bit of injury. With this injury, it was even harder for Uncle Heng to continue. The bigger the injury, the harder it was for him.
Knowing that Uncle Heng would definitely lose, the others became even more flustered. In the next moment, two more people were injured by the opponent.
In this way, the Lu villagers were completely at a disadvantage.
After a few more moves, Uncle Heng's chest was pierced by the swords of the other party. At this moment, he no longer had the strength to continue fighting. He immediately laid on the ground.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Third Brother immediately turned around and ran. However, he had only taken a few steps when someone behind him stabbed him in the leg and he fell to the ground.
Following that, the rest of the villagers were hit as well. In the end, everyone in the Lu Village was knocked to the ground.
On the other hand, there was only one person who was severely injured. The rest of them were only minor injuries.
"Big Brother, what should we do with these people?" Then, one of them asked.
The person who spoke earlier immediately replied, "Kill them!"
"Don't!" That Third Brother couldn't help but panic. However, the moment he spoke, a sharp sword slashed across his neck. Then, he breathed his last.
Before he died, he was filled with regret. If he wasn't greedy, he wouldn't be here and wouldn't be killed.
After killing everyone in the Lu Village, these people then walked to Linlong.
"Who are you people?" Looking at these people walking over, Linlong asked.
"You don't have to know that. In any case, you just need to know that we will send you to the Fourth Marquis Residence." The leader of the other party chuckled.
This person was a middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure.
"What a pity. Seems like you guys won't be able to get what you want." Linlong smiled.
"What? Could it be that you can conjure something out of thin air?" The slightly plump middle-aged man said coldly.
"You really can conjure something out of thin air," Linlong said again before standing up and raising his hands.
Looking at Linlong's hands, these people were all stunned. That was because Linlong's hands weren't tied up at all.
"What's going on?" These people were all stunned.
"He was clearly tied up just now!" Someone even cried out loudly.
"It's most likely that the people from the Lu Village untied him before they died," someone guessed.
"Don't bother about that. Just take him down." The slightly plump middle-aged man frowned and ordered.
This middle-aged man was a Level 3 Martialist. However, he felt that there was no need to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. Hence, he naturally ordered his subordinates to do it.
As soon as he finished speaking, a few of them immediately took out their weapons and charged at Linlong.
Naturally, Linlong swung the rune sword in his hand and welcomed the attack.
The moment the sword was unleashed, the expressions of the surrounding people changed drastically. That was because the sword was unpredictable.
Pfft, pfft, pfft …
Amidst such sounds, the people surrounding Linlong were all struck by Linlong's sword aura.
"Ahhhh …"
As they screamed in pain, they all fell to the ground.
Linlong had the strength of a Level 3 Martialist. Coupled with Wu Lin's exquisite sword technique, it was a piece of cake for him to deal with these Level 2 Martialists.
"Kid, I've really underestimated you." The slightly plump middle-aged man frowned and quickly grabbed his rune sword.
The other Level 3 Martialist also quickly surrounded Linlong.
Having witnessed Linlong's strength, they didn't dare to be careless.
Immediately, Linlong slashed out with his sword again.
As soon as the sword was unleashed, the expressions of the surrounding people changed drastically. Not only was the sword technique exquisite, but the sword aura that was unleashed was like a cold moon, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
That was an Ice Attribute Technique! All of them exclaimed in their hearts.
As they cried out in surprise, Linlong's sword aura directly struck the slightly plump middle-aged man and sent him flying.
At this moment, the other person's sword aura had already struck Linlong. However, because Linlong's force had already dissolved most of the sword aura's energy, the sword aura only caused some damage to him. It was not serious.
Seeing that the chubby middle-aged man looked as though he was dead or alive after being sent flying, the others hurriedly surrounded him.
Linlong waved the rune sword in his hand again.
After that, he used the martial arts sword technique and the Cold Moon Ice Technique to their limits and finally knocked all of them to the ground. Since the slightly plump middle-aged man's life and death were unknown, the others did not pose much of a threat to him.
After that, Linlong walked in front of the slightly plump middle-aged man.
"Who are you people?" Linlong asked directly.
"We, we are from the Yin Sky City's Wang Family," the man said gloomily.
"Then how do you know our whereabouts?" Linlong asked again.
After a round of interrogation, Linlong finally came to a conclusion. There was a person called Lu Ding in the Lu Family. This person had stayed in Yin Sky City for a long time and was on good terms with the slightly plump middle-aged man. At the same time, he did not have a good relationship with the other members of the Lu Family.
Knowing that the Lu Family had brought Linlong out, Lu Ding immediately rushed to Yin Sky City at top speed to inform the Wang Family.
Knowing that capturing Linlong and Guo Xiaoxiao would definitely bring them great benefits, the Gu Family sent these people out to wait in the vicinity. In the end, they finally found Linlong and his group.
After memorizing Lu Ding's name and rough appearance, Linlong immediately killed these people.
He naturally did this to return a favor to Lu Dong.
Then, Linlong returned the way he came.
The reason why he had waited until now to make a move was because his body could only exert force at this moment.
After breaking free from the ropes on his hands, everything was naturally a piece of cake.
Soon, Linlong arrived at the place where Guo Xiaoxiao had escaped. Right now, he naturally hoped that Guo Xiaoxiao was fine.
After a round of searching, Linlong finally found the traces that Guo Xiaoxiao had left behind. Then, he immediately followed the traces.
However, after chasing for half a day, Linlong lost track of Guo Xiaoxiao. This was because there were simply too many beasts in the vicinity. They completely covered up Guo Xiaoxiao's traces.
Because of this, Linlong could only search the vicinity like a headless fly.
After searching for an hour, he still did not find anything.
During this process, he even returned to the place where he, the great elder, and the others had stolen the prisoner cart. Here, the smashed prisoner cart was still there, but he didn't know how the great elder and the others were doing.
They were most likely fine. Linlong guessed that they were most likely fine.
After all, when General Jiang and Advisor Mo were chasing after him, the remaining people would not be a match for the Supreme Elder and the others.
After searching the vicinity for a while, Linlong still could not find Guo Xiaoxiao. He felt that Guo Xiaoxiao would not have gone in this direction, so he headed in the direction of the Lu Family Village.
After walking for more than an hour, he suddenly heard the sound of someone talking in front of him.
Linlong hurried over and saw a few people from the Fourth Marquis Residence searching for something.
With a thought, Linlong cautiously approached these people.
As soon as he got closer, he could hear their words clearly.
"Everyone said that Guo Xiaoxiao is in the vicinity. Why haven't we found her after searching for so long?" One of them cursed silently.
"How could Advisor Mo's words be wrong? As long as we search seriously, we will definitely find her," another person replied.
After that, these people no longer spoke and continued to search seriously.
Knowing that this was not a solution, Linlong directly attacked them. Only one of them was a Third Grade Martial Artist. How could he be a match for Linlong?
However, because there were too many people, the last person still managed to escape for quite a distance before Linlong caught up to him.
With a swing of his sword, that person immediately fell to the ground.
Naturally, Linlong did not kill him. The reason why he did so was to ask him about the situation.
After that, Linlong rushed forward and asked, "How did you find out that Guo Xiaoxiao was nearby? Are Advisor Mo and the others here? "
"Why would I tell you?" That person coldly replied.
Even though he was injured by a sword, he still refused to admit it. However, this was not a problem for Linlong. After a single restriction, he became obedient.
After that, he could only answer honestly. "Advisor Mo discovered the traces that Guo Xiaoxiao left behind, so he knew that Guo Xiaoxiao was here. However, after searching for a long time, they did not find Guo Xiaoxiao.
"At this time, someone returned from the Lu Family Village and received news that you were being escorted to the Fourth Marquis Residence. Fearing that something might have happened along the way, Advisor Mo immediately led his men to chase after them. As for us and General Jiang, we continued to search here."
"In other words, you divided into several groups to search for Guo Xiaoxiao in the vicinity?" Linlong asked.
"Yes."
"The strongest is General Jiang?" Linlong asked again.
"That's right."
After asking a few more questions, there was no other useful information. Linlong directly killed this person.
Since there was only General Jiang, he was relieved. Although General Jiang was a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, it was still very easy to kill him after consuming the Third Grade Energy Pill and the Scarlet Patterned Snake's crystal.
"Fortunately, they received the news and went to chase after me. Otherwise, if Advisor Mo was here, it would be troublesome." Linlong thought to himself.
If he were to fight with Advisor Mo again, it would be very difficult to defeat him even if he consumed the crystal and the Third Grade Energy Pill.
Previously, he had the advantage of a sneak attack and Advisor Mo's carelessness. Therefore, fighting him again would definitely not be so easy.
With this thought in mind, Linlong continued to search nearby.
After a while, he heard the sound of people walking toward him. From the sound of it, it seemed that there were a few people.
Linlong immediately held his breath and waited quietly.
Soon, he saw the people walking over. They were the people from the Fourth Marquis Residence. However, General Jiang was not among them.
From the looks of it, General Jiang must be nearby. 'I'll deal with these people first and then use them to attract General Jiang here.'
With this thought in mind, Linlong waited for these people to approach and suddenly attacked.
These people were obviously stronger than the previous few. However, the skilled and courageous Linlong was not worried at all.
With a sneak attack, his Rune Sword killed one person on the spot.
There were only five of them, and after killing one, there would only be four left.
After one person was killed, the others immediately retreated cautiously. Then, they saw Linlong's figure.
After confirming that Linlong was alone, the four people immediately rushed forward.
Three of the four people were Third Grade Warriors. It would definitely be difficult to fight them head-on. Therefore, when he saw the other party rushing over, Linlong quickly retreated.
He planned to use the terrain and his advantage in speed to kill these people one by one.
After spending a lot of effort and suffering from not light injuries, Linlong finally killed three of the four people. He also put the last person on the ground.
The reason why he did not kill this person was because Linlong wanted to use this person to attract General Jiang.
The way to attract General Jiang was very simple. That was to make this person shout continuously on the spot.
As for Linlong, he hid not far away and held his breath as he watched.
There was another benefit of doing this. It was to help Guo Xiaoxiao get out of trouble.
