Soon, Linlong and the rest arrived at Nanmu Town.
The Supreme Elder was obviously very familiar with Nanmu Town, so he quickly found the courtyard where the person was staying.
After knocking on the door for a while, footsteps could be heard coming from inside.
"Who is it?" Amidst the sounds, the door to the courtyard opened slightly, and a sleepy young man's head popped out.
"You are?" Looking at Linlong and the rest, the young man was confused because he didn't know Linlong and the rest.
"I wonder if Huang Lang, Elder Huang, is here?" Linlong smiled.
However, the young man shook his head, "What Huang Lang, Elder Huang? I don't know him."
"You said that Gu Cai came to look for him," the Supreme Elder beside Linlong said.
"I really don't know this Elder Huang. Please leave," the young man said.
After saying that, he tried to close the door, but his expression quickly changed because he realized that he couldn't close the door no matter how hard he tried.
He looked to the side and understood because Linlong's foot was pressed against the door.
"Seriously, I already said that I don't know this Elder Huang …" The young man couldn't help but frown.
Before he could finish his sentence, Linlong suddenly grabbed his clothes and lifted him up.
"You … What are you trying to do?" The young man couldn't help but be shocked.
He was only a first-class warrior, so naturally, he couldn't dodge Linlong's sudden attack.
"Young Master, what business do you have with me?" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the courtyard. The aura that this middle-aged man emitted was clearly much stronger than the young man.
He's a third-class warrior, Linlong thought to himself.
"Hello sir, we are here to look for Huang Lang, Elder Huang. May I know if he's here?" Guo Xiaoxiao, who was beside Linlong, said with a smile.
"Huang Lang, Elder Huang?" The middle-aged man shook his head, "I'm sorry, I've never heard of this person."
"He was from Nanmu Town previously, and he lived in this courtyard?" The Supreme Elder frowned slightly.
"I'm really sorry, please leave." The young man shook his head again.
"If you don't tell me, then I don't mind making you disappear from this world!" Linlong said coldly.
"Little brother, we've already said that we don't know each other. What more do you want to do to us?" The middle-aged man could not help but angrily speak.
In his opinion, Lin Long was simply pushing his luck.
Lin Long didn't want to waste any more words. His figure flashed as he charged towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's face sank, and he hurriedly sent out a palm strike.
However, his expression quickly changed. He discovered that Lin Long's attack was like a cold moon.
Ice attribute cultivation technique! He couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
Apart from that, he could also tell that Linlong was definitely a Level 3 Martial Artist at such a young age.
Bang! When the palm energy hit, the middle-aged man immediately staggered backward until he fell on his butt on the ground.
Not only that, half of his body seemed to be frozen.
"Who is it?"
It was also at this moment that a few people rushed out from the two side rooms. These people immediately rushed to the middle-aged man's side, and at the same time, they cautiously stared at Linlong's group.
Then, two of them even planned to rush towards Linlong.
However, before they could take a step, the middle-aged man who was sitting on the ground already shouted. "Stop!"
"Patriarch, why is this happening?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the few people were extremely puzzled.
"We are not their match!" The middle-aged man said helplessly.
"Patriarch, even if we are not their match, we can't just watch them charge in like this," someone immediately said.
"What do you know?" The middle-aged man immediately glared at him.
That person could only shrink his neck.
"Brother, I am Huang Lang's old friend, Gu Cai. Please inform him." The supreme elder seized the opportunity and said.
"Gu Cai … Could he be the Xing Wu City's supreme elder?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's right." The supreme elder nodded.
Hearing their words, everyone around the middle-aged man was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the person standing in front of them was actually the Xing Wu Academy's supreme elder.
"In that case, follow me." As he spoke, the middle-aged man stood up, turned around, and walked towards the backyard.
Seeing him like this, the others hurriedly made way for him.
As for the Supreme Elder, Linlong, and the others, they naturally followed suit.
"How did you know that they were lying?" Guo Xiaoxiao, who was beside Linlong, asked softly.
"I guessed." Linlong smiled indifferently.
Naturally, he didn't guess. Instead, he relied on his own experience and powerful Divine Will to discern. Just now, the young man and the patriarch had clearly seen a flash of surprise on their faces when they mentioned Huang Lang.
Even though it was just a flash, Linlong still noticed it. Therefore, he naturally felt that the two of them were lying.
As it turned out, his intuition was right.
The middle-aged man led them out of the backyard and walked towards the back of the courtyard.
Not long after, they stopped halfway up the mountain. Linlong and the others saw a few stone houses in front of them.
"Elder Huang is here," the middle-aged man said respectfully to Linlong and the supreme elder Gu Cai.
The two of them were much stronger than him, so he had no choice but to be respectful.
"Huang Lang, Brother Huang, are you here?" The supreme elder immediately raised his voice and shouted at the stone houses in front of him.
After a while, the door of the stone house in the middle suddenly opened, and an old man walked out.
When he saw the supreme elder, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Brother Huang, it's really you?" The supreme elder could not help but smile.
"Gu Cai, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?" Huang Lang asked indifferently.
"Brother Huang, although our relationship wasn't that good, it wasn't so bad that you have to pull a long face at me, right?" The supreme elder was puzzled.
"What business do you have with me?" Huang Lang asked indifferently.
"It's like this. I have two friends who have been poisoned by the slow-acting poison of the dark warriors. I would like you to help treat them," Linlong said immediately.
After hearing Linlong's words, Huang Lang's gaze swept past Shen Xiaorong and Shen Xiaoying, who were behind Linlong.
"Come in," Huang Lang said. At the same time, he said to the middle-aged man who brought Linlong up, as well as his subordinates, "You guys can go back first."
"Yes," the few of them replied respectfully and turned around to leave.
After that, Huang Lang walked into the stone house, and Linlong and the others followed him in.
"Brother Huang, thank you for saving them." After entering the stone house, the supreme elder thanked Huang Lang.
Who would have thought that Huang Lang would say coldly, "When did I say that I would save them?"
"Brother Huang, you can't possibly leave them in the lurch, right?" The supreme elder's face twitched.
"I have to pay a huge price to treat them. I don't have the responsibility to do so," Huang Lang said.
"Elder Huang, if you treat them, I will give you the reward you want!" Linlong stared at Huang Lang and said.
Who knew that Huang Lang would directly shake his head, "No matter what the reward is, it won't change my mind."
"Huang Lang, it can't be. How can you leave them in the lurch? You weren't that kind of person in the past." The supreme elder who had been addressing Huang Lang as Brother Huang couldn't help but have an ugly expression on his face.
"You're wrong. I have always been that kind of person," Huang Lang said coldly.
"Two million Yongzhou dollars should be fine, right?" After hearing the supreme elder's words, Linlong took out two money cards and placed them on the wooden table in front of him.
Seeing Linlong casually take out two million Yongzhou dollars, Guo Xiaoxiao and the others were naturally a little surprised.
They thought that Huang Lang would be tempted by the two million Yongzhou dollars. Who would have thought that Huang Lang would refuse without even turning his head. "No."
"Then what about two million more?" Linlong took out two more cards.
However, Huang Lang still flatly refused.
"Huang Lang, you are really leaving them in the lurch!" Seeing Huang Lang's reaction, the supreme elder said coldly, as if he was going to teach Huang Lang a lesson.
He didn't expect Huang Lang to look at the supreme elder fearlessly.
Then, he said, "No matter what you do, I will not agree. The only thing I can do is to tell you where the Shadow Wood Flower is. Otherwise, I won't even let you into my house," Huang Lang said.
"Alright, then please tell us the location of the Shadow Wood Flower," Linlong said with a frown.
Since the other party refused to help them even if they were beaten to death, he naturally wouldn't force them to do it. After all, the other party didn't owe them anything.
Of course, if Shen Xiaorong and Guo Xiaoxiao really had nowhere else to go, he wouldn't mind doing it.
"The Shadow Wood Flower is in an underground cemetery nearby. Although it's hidden, I know the specific location. I can bring you there," Huang Lang said.
"Then please bring me there," Linlong immediately said.
The Shadow Wood Flower was naturally the material that the supreme elder had mentioned.
Then, Linlong looked at the supreme elder and the others and said, "Supreme elder, please bring them here and wait."
"Alright." Knowing that it would only cause trouble for Linlong if so many people went, the supreme elder nodded.
Of course, it would be best if he went to help Linlong. The problem was that if he went, there would be no one to protect Shen Xiaorong and the others.
Therefore, he could only stay.
"He's going alone?" Hearing Linlong's words, Huang Lang couldn't help but look at Linlong a few more times.
He originally thought that it would be the supreme elder, but he didn't expect it to be a young man like Linlong.
Most importantly, he didn't feel much of a powerful aura from Linlong.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"There are some powerful beasts that consume dark energy stones. Are you sure you're going alone?" Huang Lang asked again.
"That's right." Linlong nodded again.
Guo Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go with Linlong, but she thought that she would most likely be a burden if she went, so she didn't say anything.
At this time, Huang Lang didn't say anything else. Instead, he nodded and said, "Alright."
After looking around, he said again, "There's no time to lose. Let's go now."
With that, the two of them left and headed west.
After spending more than an hour, the two of them arrived at a gloomy graveyard.
"The underground graveyard is below here." Follow me.
After saying that, Huang Lang continued to walk in while Linlong followed behind him.
Not long after, Huang Lang stopped in front of a tombstone.
After looking at the tombstone for a while, Huang Lang suddenly reached out and grabbed the tombstone. After exerting force, they heard a cracking sound.
Then, a small cave appeared in front of them. Linlong could see a flight of stone steps leading downwards.
"The Shadowwood Flower is below. You can go in by yourself. I won't go in with you." Huang Lang said expressionlessly.
"Many thanks." Lin Long cupped his hands together and walked down the stone steps.
After watching Linlong's figure disappear, Huang Lang turned around and left.
"Newborn calves are really not afraid of tigers. However, no matter how fearless you are, those things inside aren't something you can deal with easily." Huang Lang muttered in the end. His footsteps became faster and faster. Soon, he walked out of the graveyard.
After walking down the stone steps for a while, Linlong found himself in an underground graveyard.
There were more tombs here than above. Moreover, it was even more eerie. There were ghostly flames burning everywhere. Sometimes, a strange whining sound could be heard.
An ordinary person would definitely be scared out of their wits when they came to such a place. However, Linlong's expression didn't change.
It was as if he was walking on a brightly lit street.
After looking around, Linlong started to walk forward. With every step he took, he carefully looked for the presence of the Shadowwood Flower.
The Shadowwood Flower was a small black flower that usually grew at the bottom of a tomb. In such a dark and serene place, one wouldn't be able to find it if one didn't look carefully.
After walking for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Linlong still didn't find a single Shadowwood Flower.
He already knew that the Shadowwood Flower was hard to find. Naturally, he wasn't surprised.
After walking for a while, two green lights suddenly appeared in front of him.
Linlong focused and realized that it was a black cat. The green light was emitted by the black cat.
This was a black cat that swallowed a Darkness Energy Stone. Linlong immediately made such a judgment.
Darkness Energy Stones were usually found near graveyards. Its nature was similar to the Energy Strength Pill that dark warriors consumed.
In other words, a fierce beast that consumed a Darkness Energy Stone was equivalent to another type of dark warrior.
After staring at Linlong for a while, the black cat suddenly rushed toward him.
Its speed was extremely fast. Taking advantage of the terrain, it arrived in front of Linlong in the blink of an eye.
Lin Long frowned, raised his hand, and attacked with a palm strike.
In an instant, a palm energy that was like a cold moon immediately attacked the black cat.
The black cat's figure flashed and actually dodged Linlong's attack. Then, it pounced toward Linlong.
Just as it was about to grab Linlong, Linlong's figure suddenly flashed and he dodged the black cat's pounce.
At the same time, Linlong's palm energy struck out again.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the black cat was directly sent flying.
However, it obviously didn't die. In the next moment, it moved again. It didn't attack Linlong again. Instead, it escaped.
Even though it was injured, its speed was still very fast. In just a few breaths, it disappeared from Linlong's sight.
