Only after his body had recovered did he leave Elder Wang and the others.
Before leaving, Princess Changle suddenly said to Linlong, "Young master Tang, there are some things I wish to say to you."
"Okay." Linlong nodded his head, but he was puzzled as to what Princess Changle wanted to say to him.
Although he had rescued Princess Changle, they had not had much interaction over the past few days.
After the two of them arrived beside a large tree, Princess Changle looked at Linlong and said, "Young master Tang, I wish to tell you that there is a hidden spatial crack in my elder brother's room. It seems to be connected to the secret realm of the imperial city."
The elder brother Princess Changle spoke of was naturally Wu Anguo. They were both the flesh and blood of Imperial Consort Hualing. Thus, compared to the other princes, they were naturally closer.
"What?" Linlong could not help but cry out in alarm when he heard Princess Changle's words.
Previously, due to his lack of strength, he could only escape from the second level of the secret realm. Knowing that there was a Techniques Hall there, he naturally wished to return. Unfortunately, he did not know how to enter the secret realm.
Hearing Princess Changle's words, he naturally felt surprised.
"Is this true?" Linlong asked again.
"It's true. I don't know if my elder brother knows or not. I only discovered it when I entered my elder brother's room after he left," Princess Changle replied.
"Then, have you entered the secret realm?" Linlong asked.
"I have entered the secret realm, so I can confirm it. However, the place I entered was not the place that we of the younger generation had previously entered. Instead, it was a place filled with numerous fourth-rank ferocious beasts.
"Because of this, it was difficult for me to move an inch inside. As a result, I am certain that that place is another part of the secret realm. I came out from that place. Later on, because Imperial Father sealed off that place, I have never entered it again. However, no one should have entered that place. As a result, no one should be able to discover the existence of that spatial crack. "
Princess Changle explained.
"Is that so?" Linlong nodded his head. "Many thanks, Princess Changle."
Since there was such a place, he naturally had to investigate it after returning. Moreover, from Princess Changle's description, he felt that it should be the second level of the secret realm.
"You're welcome. If it weren't for young master Tang, I would likely not be able to regain my freedom," Princess Changle replied.
"Princess Changle is too polite." Linlong smiled calmly.
"Young master Tang, in the future, don't call me Princess Changle. Call me An Yi." Princess Changle suddenly said. "After all, I probably won't be returning to the imperial capital in the future."
"Alright." Linlong nodded.
"I hope that I will have the opportunity to see young master Tang again in the future," Princess Changle smiled.
"Yes, I hope so," Linlong said.
Soon after, Linlong left Princess Changle and the others, returning to the Wu Kingdom's Imperial Capital.
In just one day, Linlong returned to the Imperial City.
"Princess Changle has been kidnapped, Eunuch Dong is dead, and the whereabouts of heir Luo Sheng are unknown!"
"Heavens, who is so daring to do such a thing?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, after hearing about this, the Emperor was furious. He immediately sent a few Level Five powerhouses to investigate this matter. I heard that even Eunuch Hao, a powerhouse at the peak of Level Five, was sent."
"What? Eunuch Hao, who's at the peak of Level 5? "
"What's so surprising about this? After all, they kidnapped Princess Changle. This is equivalent to giving the Emperor a fierce slap in the face in front of all the citizens of the Wu Kingdom. How could the Emperor not be angry?"
As soon as he returned, Linlong heard the people in the Imperial City discussing this matter.
Even experts at the peak of Level Five have been sent? Linlong thought to himself.
However, he had already dealt with all the clues, so he was not afraid.
Of course, after spending some time, these people would definitely be able to investigate the Inner River Sect and the Ancient Leaf Sect. However, by that time, Elder Wang, Xue Changyong, and Princess Changle would have already fled far away. There was nothing to worry about.
Not long after, Linlong met with the Seventh Princess.
"Tang Li, you've finally returned. This princess thought that you would abandon me!" Upon seeing Linlong, the Seventh Princess snorted.
"Seventh Princess, how could that be? It's just that there are too many matters to attend to at home," Linlong replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Seventh Princess mysteriously asked, "Tang Li, do you have anything to do with the kidnapping of my older sister, Princess Changle?"
Linlong could not help but be startled by the Seventh Princess's words. However, he pretended to be calm and collected on the surface. "Seventh Princess, why do you say that? I only met Princess Changle once. How could I have done such a thing?"
"What are you so anxious for? This princess was only testing you," the Seventh Princess replied.
Seeing that she truly did not suspect anything and was only speaking casually, Linlong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I heard that this time, even Eunuch Dong died … however, I still hope that my older sister can leave. After all, she does not like marrying into the Xijing Prince's household," the Seventh Princess muttered.
"Seventh Princess, your nature is not bad," Linlong could not help but comment.
"When was this princess bad?" Hearing Linlong's words, the Seventh Princess could not help but viciously pinch Linlong's arm.
Soon after, Linlong returned to his room.
After the sky darkened, he headed straight for Wu Anguo's previous residence.
Not long after, he arrived at his destination. Wu Anguo's residence was actually right next to Princess Changle's.
Because Princess Changle had been abducted, this place was still tightly guarded.
After carefully inspecting the place, Linlong breathed a sigh of relief. There were no rank 5 fighters present. If there were, he would have no choice but to be extremely careful.
Borrowing the cover of the night, Linlong snuck into Wu Anguo's previous residence.
After entering, Linlong carefully observed the place and quickly discovered the hidden spatial fissure. This spatial fissure was even more difficult to detect than the one Linlong had discovered in Xingwu Academy.
If it were not for his powerful divine sense, it would have taken him an even longer time to find it. He really did not know how Princess Changle had discovered it.
He did not know if this was the true second level of the secret realm. Thinking this, Linlong immediately entered the spatial fissure.
After passing through the spatial fissure, he appeared in the middle of a mountain forest. Activating the flying device on his back, Linlong flew into the air and observed for a while. Linlong was certain that this was the true second level of the secret realm.
Although he had once again entered the second level, a bitter smile appeared on Linlong's face. With his current strength, he still had no way of killing his way into the Techniques Hall and obtaining the cultivation technique inside.
In other words, he had to wait until he became even stronger before he could kill his way into the Techniques Hall and obtain the cultivation technique inside. Otherwise, it would be a wasted effort.
Just as Linlong was about to leave the secret realm, the sounds of an intense battle could be heard nearby. It seemed as if someone was fighting ferocious beasts.
How could there be people here? Astonished, Linlong immediately headed in that direction.
Very quickly, he saw two people fighting with two rank 4 ferocious beasts.
One of the two was a pale, beardless old man. Although he was not wearing the clothes of a eunuch, Linlong was certain that he was a eunuch.
He should be a eunuch of the imperial palace, Linlong thought to himself.
The other person was a middle-aged man with a full beard. It was obvious that he was not a eunuch. He was wearing an ordinary long robe, and Linlong could not tell where he came from.
The pale, beardless old man's strength was obviously at the peak of rank 4, while the middle-aged man's strength was at the mid-stage of rank 4.
Could it be that these two people were here for the Techniques Hall? With this thought in mind, Linlong was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he waited quietly at the side.
He was prepared to follow the two people after they killed the two ferocious beasts.
After a while, the two people killed the two ferocious beasts and continued forward. Looking at the direction in which they were heading, Linlong was even more certain that they were here for the Techniques Hall.
This was because the Techniques Hall was in the direction in which they were heading.
Linlong did not dare to get too close. If he did, he would definitely be discovered by the two people if he encountered any ferocious beasts.
Therefore, he waited until the two people were a little further away before following them.
The two people seemed to be very familiar with the terrain. In addition, they were good at concealing their auras. Therefore, after walking for a while, they finally arrived near the Techniques Hall.
At this moment, from this direction, Linlong could see the Techniques Hall.
What he did not expect was that the two people were actually surrounded by seven or eight level 4 ferocious beasts.
Seeing this situation, Linlong became anxious for the two people. This was because if they were chased away by the ferocious beasts, his plan to fish in troubled waters would fail.
At this critical juncture, the peak of rank 4 martial artist displayed his invincible might and attracted the attention of the six level 4 ferocious beasts, leaving the middle-aged man to face only two ferocious beasts.
Even so, the situation was not in the middle-aged man's favor. After all, he was facing two level 4 ferocious beasts.
Fortunately, after a desperate attack, the middle-aged man was still able to carve out a bloody path from the encirclement of the two level 4 ferocious beasts. Then, he dashed toward the Techniques Hall.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had left, the peak of rank 4 martial artist also seized the opportunity to activate the wings on his back and flew into the sky. Then, he directly flew toward the Techniques Hall.
Just like this, the two people finally arrived at the Techniques Hall without any mishaps.
Then, when the ferocious beasts surrounded them, they had already dashed into the Techniques Hall.
There were only four wooden puppets inside. Based on the strength of the two people, the four wooden puppets were not a match for them at all. Linlong thought to himself, "I have to find an opportunity to rush into the hall."
He knew that he could not rush in too early. If he did so, the two people would not be able to do anything to the four wooden puppets. By then, he might even be caught in a pincer attack by the wooden puppets and the two people.
Therefore, it was best to rush in before the two people destroyed the four wooden puppets.
Linlong, who was so sure, waited quietly outside like an experienced hunter. He did not stay at the main door. Instead, he used his powerful divine will to sense the situation inside.
The reason why he did not wait at the main door was because there were a few ferocious beasts brought by the two people there.
