Wu Zheng wanted to break free from Lin Long's attack while his people were rushing over, but Lin Long did not give him the chance.
After two moves, a sword struck his right leg, causing him to kneel.
Lin Long was also hit by the other two people. However, with his powerful body technique, he forcefully endured it.
Fortunately, at this moment, Elder Xu and his people had already surrounded them.
They had the advantage in numbers, and with Lin Long, a rank four martialist, they quickly defeated Wu Zheng and the others.
Then, they killed everyone except Wu Zheng. Leaving Wu Zheng alive was naturally to get some information from him.
In order to get what he wanted to know faster, Lin Long directly placed a restriction on Wu Zheng's body. Once the restriction was activated, Wu Zheng immediately became obedient after suffering a bout of pain.
"Are you the First Prince's men?" Lin Long asked.
"That's right. We are the First Prince's men?" Wu Zheng replied.
"Then where is the First Prince?"
"The First Prince is currently in the palace," Wu Zheng replied.
"Then who else is nearby?"
"There are still people nearby. Other than a few rank four martialists, there is also a rank five martialist. If he discovers that I have not returned, he will definitely come over," Wu Zheng said.
"What!" Xu Lao could not help but exclaim when he heard Wu Zheng's words.
If it was that rank five martialist who came over, they would most likely be the ones lying on the ground now.
Just as Lin Long was about to continue asking, he could not help but furrow his brows. There was clearly a powerful aura outside. It was very likely that the rank five martialist had already arrived.
"Xu Lao, we have to leave now. The other party's rank five martialist seems to be coming over," Lin Long hurriedly said to Xu Lao.
"Young master, you should leave. This old man will block him from behind," Xu Lao said with a shake of his head.
Seeing that Lin Long was still hesitating, he continued, "Even if I leave, I won't be able to. Moreover, I don't want to leave this place that I have stayed in for decades."
Hearing Xu Lao's words, Lin Long no longer hesitated. His figure moved, and he directly sprinted in the opposite direction of that expert.
Before he could leave Xu Lao's courtyard, a figure descended from the sky and attacked him with a palm.
The power of that palm strike shocked Linlong, because it was obvious that his opponent was a Level Five powerhouse.
Linlong knew that he would most likely be captured if he were to turn around and fight his opponent head-on. Therefore, he simply used the force of his opponent's palm to send himself flying.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Linlong was sent flying into a room in the courtyard.
At this moment, apart from the Level 5 warrior, a few other people also rushed in. Elder Xu's subordinates also fled in all directions.
Thinking that Lin Long was just an ordinary person and that Lin Long had already been injured, the Level Four warrior did not immediately chase after Lin Long. Instead, he chased after one of Elder Xu's men who had already rushed out of the courtyard.
In just a few breaths of time, that person was knocked to the ground by that Rank 5 martial artist.
As for Linlong, he took the opportunity to stand up and run in the opposite direction.
His opponent's palm strike was not weak at all. Although he had managed to withstand it with his body technique, he had already suffered quite a bit of injury.
After sprinting for a while, Linlong quickly sensed the powerful aura of the Unranked powerhouse. It was obvious that the other party had sensed that something was wrong.
If the other party caught up to him, the consequences would be obvious.
After thinking about it, Linlong dived into the crowd in front of him without any hesitation. This seemed to be a market in the Imperial City, so there were many people.
After passing through the market, Linlong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The other party did not follow him.
It would be extremely dangerous for him to stay here, so Linlong quickly headed in the opposite direction.
This time, Linlong only stopped when he was sure that the other party really did not follow him after running for a long time.
It was also at this moment that he noticed that many soldiers had appeared in the surroundings of the Imperial City. They seemed to be searching for something.
Thinking that the other party was probably here for him, Linlong did not dare to be careless. He immediately found a roof and hid there.
It was already dark, so it was safe on the roof.
Before long, the soldiers arrived around the house he was hiding in. Using his powerful Divine Will, he overheard some of the conversation between the soldiers and confirmed one thing: the soldiers were here for him.
Linlong only left the place after the soldiers left. However, for safety's sake, he did not stay in any inn. Instead, he found an unoccupied attic and used it as a temporary hiding place.
After entering, he naturally meditated and healed his injuries.
Lin Long stayed there for two days, waiting for the matter to be over before he came out.
The existence of a fifth-level expert made him have no choice but to be careful.
However, on the fifth day, the skilled and courageous Linlong still sneaked into the Imperial Palace.
However, after entering for a while, he had no choice but to escape. The reason was very simple: there were too many fifth-level warriors inside.
If he was discovered, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.
It was better for him to first find a place to settle down and then improve his strength until he could take the fourth-level Qi-enhancing Pill. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight against a fifth-level warrior at all.
With this thought in mind, Linlong immediately left the Imperial City and settled down in a village near the Imperial City.
This village was called Linshan Village. Because it was close to the Imperial City, the people here were relatively wealthy.
Linlong rented a house from an ordinary family.
Originally, he wanted to find a barren mountain to live in, but after thinking about it, he gave up. This was because it would be easier to find out information in the Imperial City if he lived in such a place.
Early in the morning, a little girl's sweet voice came from outside the door. "Young Master, it's time to eat."
Linlong told this family that he came to the Imperial City from another place to attend the examination, so this family was extremely respectful to him. Every day, they cooked delicious food for Linlong, as if Linlong was their son.
After eating, Linlong, who returned, immediately began to cultivate.
In order to enter the Imperial City as soon as possible, he could not be lazy.
Unknowingly, a few days passed. In these few days, Linlong did not step out of this courtyard.
Of course, except for the first day, he did not appear in this village.
Outsiders only thought that he was studying hard, but in fact, he was cultivating.
However, the people in Linshan Village were used to this situation, because there were many young people who came to live here to attend the examination.
This morning, there was suddenly a noise outside.
Looking through the crack in the door, Linlong saw a few fierce-looking people arguing with the male and female owners of this family.
In the end, they even pushed the male owner away.
This push was not light, because the male owner's body was originally weak, so this push directly broke his right leg.
However, those people did not care at all, and in the end, they swaggered off.
Following the principle of not causing trouble, it was better to avoid trouble, so Linlong originally did not want to bother with them.
In the end, when he saw the little girl crying loudly, he went up to ask what was going on.
"Young Master, you can't afford to offend those people, so don't get involved. They will come again tomorrow, and when that time comes, it will definitely affect you. We will refund you the money, and you can leave," who knew that the female owner would say.
"That's right, Young Master, don't bother with them," the male owner said.
The two of them being so kind-hearted made Lin Long feel apologetic.
However, this was not the time to ask, so when the sky turned dark, he called the little girl over.
"Yun 'er, tell me, what happened to your family?" Linlong asked.
The little girl looked to be eleven or twelve years old.
"My parents don't allow me to say." Hearing Linlong's question, the little girl shook her head.
"Yun 'er, to tell you the truth, I know a lot of powerful people in the Imperial City. If you tell me the reason, I can definitely get someone to help you settle it." Linlong spoke with a solemn expression.
"Is that true?" Hearing Linlong's words, the little girl's eyes lit up.
"Of course."
"Then I will tell you, Big Brother … But, Big Brother, don't tell my parents about this. If you tell them, they will definitely beat me up," the little girl said.
"Don't worry, Big Brother is not that kind of person," Linlong could not help but laugh.
The little girl was instantly relieved, and she immediately said, "This is what happened. Actually, we bought the house from them, but when we handed over the land deed, they tampered with it. We didn't realize it, and by the time we realized it, it was already too late. Now, they brought the real land deed and said that they didn't sell the house to us, and they want us to return it immediately. My parents were furious, and since they have no place to go, they naturally refused to leave …"
"Didn't you report this matter to the authorities?" Linlong asked.
"We reported it, but the authorities accepted their bribe and decided that it was our fault. We don't have any other evidence, so we can't do anything to them."
After understanding the situation, Linlong immediately said, "Oh, then can you tell me which family they are, so that I can stand up for you?"
"They are the village's Wang Family, the biggest family in our village. In fact, it's not just us, many people in the village have been bullied by them, but they dare not speak up," the little girl said.
"The Wang Family? Then tell me their specific location," Linlong asked again.
"They are at the entrance of the village. Their courtyard is the largest, and the decorations are extremely luxurious. There are two large stone lions at the entrance," the little girl said.
"Alright, then Big Brother understands." Linlong nodded.
Then, Linlong let the little girl leave.
When it was late at night, Linlong left his room and walked towards the Wang Family's residence at the entrance of the village.
The Wang Family's residence was very easy to identify, and not long after, he arrived at the entrance of the Wang Family's residence.
"Who's there?"
Even though it was late at night, there were still people standing guard at the entrance of the Wang Family's residence. When they saw Linlong approaching, they immediately shouted in a low voice.
"I'm here to look for your master," Linlong said with a faint smile.
"Our master doesn't see guests. Get lost!" The other party shouted in a low voice.
Linlong came in the middle of the night, and he was a stranger to them. Unless there was something wrong with their brains, they would not believe Linlong's words.
As soon as they finished speaking, their expressions changed drastically, because Linlong suddenly rushed towards them.
Linlong's movements were extremely fast, leaving only a series of afterimages in the dark night. By the time they reacted, Linlong was already in front of them.
Bang, bang!
With two muffled sounds, the two of them were sent flying by Linlong's attack.
"What's going on outside?" Such a commotion quickly alerted the people inside, and immediately, a few people rushed out.
Before these people could figure out what was going on, they were knocked to the ground by Linlong, who was standing at the side.
Three of these people were obviously the ones who threatened the little girl's family during the day, so Linlong directly took their lives.
Following that, another seven or eight people came out, and they were also knocked down by Linlong.
After that, Linlong grabbed one of the people who was not killed and asked, "Where's your master?"
"I'll bring you there," the person said obediently.
Linlong was so powerful, and he did not dare to disobey him.
Soon, the person brought Linlong to the front of a house.
"Sir, our master is in this house," the person said.
"Is that so?" Nodding, Linlong directly kicked the door open and walked in.
At this moment, the person inside had already woken up. It was a fat man in his forties, and there was a woman lying beside him. That woman was already trembling in fear, just like him.
"You … Who are you?" Seeing Linlong barge in just like that, his subordinate followed behind Linlong with a frightened expression. How could this fat man not know how powerful Linlong was?
In fact, there were also powerful martial artists outside, and one of them was a martial artist at the peak of Level Two.
However, how could they be a match for Linlong?
"Let me ask you, did you tamper with the land deed of the Li family?" Linlong asked coldly.
"Which … Which Li family?" the fat man said with a trembling voice.
He had bullied so many people that he could not even remember which Li family it was.
"The family in the east of your Linshan Village, the one with a little girl," Linlong said.
"Ah … That's right … Ah, no, I didn't tamper with the land deed," the fat man quickly said after coming to his senses.
Seeing Linlong's dark face, he quickly said, "Sir, I … I'll bring the land deed immediately and destroy it in front of you."
"There's no need for that," Linlong said lightly.
The land deed was just a piece of paper. With the Wang family colluding with the authorities, the land deed was completely useless.
Moreover, now that he had killed this person, the authorities would definitely pursue the matter, and it would definitely implicate the little girl's family. Therefore, destroying the land deed was useless.
He came here this time only to make this fat man regret it.
"Then what do you want, Sir?" the fat man, who felt that something was amiss, asked hurriedly.
"What I want is very simple, and that is to kill you!" Linlong said coldly.
"Sir, I was wrong. I'll give you gold and silver, please spare me," the fat man said sobbingly.
Linlong did not care about him, and immediately kicked him.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the fat man was kicked to the ground.
"My lord, I was wrong, please forgive me." He begged loudly.
How could Linlong give him a chance? When he felt that it was about time, he kicked him again and directly took his life.
After doing all this, Linlong burned down the Wang family, and then returned to the little girl's house.
What he needed to do now was to bring this family away from here.
