In one of the caves on one of the two mountain peaks, a young man frowned and looked at his arm.
This young man was none other than Linlong, who was making wooden puppets here. At this time, he was still unable to make a fifth-grade wooden puppet.
He looked at his arm because he realized that the Phoenix Sigil on his arm was clearly different from before. It was usually very calm, but just now, there was clearly a change as if it was resonating with something.
Could it be …
Linlong had a bad feeling. He immediately put away the materials used to make the wooden puppet and walked out of the cave.
After carefully observing outside the cave for a while, he continued to walk forward. Soon, he stopped because he realized that there were some people not far in front of him who were searching for something.
Moreover, these people were not weak. Among them, there were even two fourth-grade warriors.
Could it be that these people are searching for me? Thinking about the abnormal change in the Phoenix Sigil, such a thought emerged in Linlong's mind.
After thinking about it, he made a bold move, which was to approach those people who were searching.
He did this because he wanted to hear the reason from their words.
"Everyone, be serious. As long as we find that person, you will be able to eat and drink well for a while."
As he approached, he heard a fourth-grade warrior say so.
"Yes!" These people responded.
Linlong could feel their excitement from their words.
After that, these people stopped talking and began to search more seriously.
Linlong couldn't hear anything. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly stopped on the chest of one of them. He realized that there were four words on it: Xijing Palace.
Xijing Palace! It seemed that it was really related to the Phoenix Sigil. Linlong immediately confirmed this.
Since it was the Xijing Palace, there was a high possibility that there were fifth-grade warriors following them. Therefore, Linlong didn't dare to be careless. Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and that was to leave this place immediately.
Originally, he wanted to wait a little longer and see if he could rely on his powerful strength to kill these people. But now, he no longer had such a thought.
Because if there was really a fifth-grade warrior, it would be extremely dangerous for him to expose his target.
Once he confirmed this, Linlong immediately retreated. After a while, he couldn't help but frown and suddenly looked up into the sky.
He clearly felt a powerful aura flash across the sky. That aura obviously belonged to a Level 5 Martial Artist.
Fortunately, his Dantian Record's ability to hide his aura was strong enough. Otherwise, the other party would have discovered him. Linlong thought to himself.
He didn't dare to stay any longer. After choosing a direction, he dashed in that direction.
What made his expression turn ugly was that after sprinting for a while, it was obvious that there were people searching for him on both sides. In other words, he could only move forward, and he had to be quick. Otherwise, he would most likely be surrounded by these people.
Soon after, he sprinted forward. Who would have thought that after a few hundred feet, a person would appear in front of him. Looking at the person's attire, it was obvious that he was from the Xijing King Residence.
The other party did not notice him, but Linlong had nowhere else to go, so he could only continue walking forward.
With a thought, he slowed down and slowly walked toward the other party.
When the man saw Linlong, he immediately asked, "Who are you?"
At first, he didn't list Linlong as the person they were looking for. The reason was that Linlong's aura was too weak. He didn't seem like a strong martial artist.
"Sir, I got lost in this mountain and wandered for half a day before coming here. I wonder if you can bring me out?" Linlong asked.
At this moment, he pretended to be sincere, like a young man who had lost his way. This caused the man in front of him to lower his guard.
This person was a Level 4 Martial Artist. That was why Linlong was so cautious. Otherwise, he would have already slashed at him with his sword.
"Is that so." The Level 4 Martial Artist nodded and then asked, "Did you see anyone else in this mountain forest?"
"Just now, I really saw a man in black. I wanted to follow him and let him bring me out, but I didn't expect him to be so fast. I couldn't catch up with him, and then I met you," Linlong said.
"Oh, where did you see him? Where did he escape to?" Hearing Linlong's words, the man, who thought that he was going to make a great contribution, was overjoyed.
"He's heading in that direction." Linlong immediately pointed to his right.
"Is that so?" Hearing Linlong's direction, the man wanted to chase in that direction. However, just as he moved, he stopped.
"Brat, lead the way!" he said.
Although the possibility of Linlong being that person was not high, it was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, he didn't want to let Linlong escape from under his nose.
"Okay." Linlong nodded.
He pretended to walk forward, but just as he was about to reach the person in front of him, he fiercely attacked the person with his palm.
In an instant, a Cold Moon immediately slashed at the man's throat.
Because it was too sudden and Linlong had activated his full strength, although the man was a Level 4 Martial Artist, he couldn't react in time. His throat was directly slashed by Linlong's Cold Moon.
In the next moment, he fell to the ground, clutching his neck. From beginning to end, he didn't even have the chance to cry for help.
After killing this man with one strike, Linlong didn't even have time to take his Space Stone. He immediately sprinted forward.
Soon, the man's corpse was discovered by the others.
When they heard this, Luo Shengxuan and Lin Juneng were naturally furious. So many of them were searching the mountain, but someone killed a Level 4 Martial Artist without a sound. How could they not be angry?
After carefully examining the dead man and the surroundings, they immediately ordered everyone to chase in that direction after confirming that the only direction Linlong could escape was in front.
As for the two of them, they also activated the wings behind them and flew forward. Both of them were Level 5 Martial Artists, so they were confident that they could catch up and capture the other party.
However, what made them depressed was that after chasing for so long, they didn't even see the other party's shadow.
Helpless, they could only stop and gather in a valley.
After stopping, Miao Juneng looked at Luo Shengxuan and asked, "Sir Luo, what realm do you think this person's strength has reached?"
"In my opinion, this person should only be a Level 4 Martial Artist. If he was a Level 5 Martial Artist, he wouldn't be so afraid. If he was a Level 4 Martial Artist at the peak, he would have activated the wings behind him long ago … Sir Miao, what do you think?" Luo Shengxuan said.
"I agree with you, Sir Luo," Miao Juneng said.
"Sir, since this person is so weak, how could he escape from our pursuit without making a sound?" A Level 4 Martial Artist beside the two of them asked doubtfully.
"He should have some kind of technique that can conceal his aura, right?" Luo Shengxuan said.
"Does such a technique exist?" The Level 4 Martial Artist asked doubtfully.
He was naturally doubtful because he had never heard of such a technique.
"Indeed, such a technique exists. However, it is extremely rare and difficult to practice. It's not something we can come into contact with," Miao Juneng said.
"If that's the case, how could this person possess and practice it?"
"Who knows? In any case, apart from this reason, there's no other plausible reason." Luo Shengxuan shook his head.
"If that's the case, how are we going to catch him?" Hearing Luo Shengxuan's words, the people beside him couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
"Don't worry. This technique's ability to conceal one's aura isn't that powerful. As long as he isn't too far away from us Level 5 Martial Artists, we will definitely discover him," Miao Juneng said coldly.
After some discussion, the two of them came in front of the veiled woman.
They had no way of finding Linlong, so they could only hope that the veiled woman would cast a technique again.
"Madam, I'm really sorry. That person is too cunning. We couldn't catch him and let him escape," Luo Shengxuan and the other Martial Artist said to the woman in black awkwardly.
The woman in black obviously frowned, then said, "Tomorrow. I'll cast the technique again tomorrow."
"Thank you, Madam," the two hurriedly said.
…
On the other side, although Linlong had escaped from the Xijing King's Mansion with his own ability, he couldn't feel happy. This was because he knew that if he didn't get rid of the Phoenix Sigil on his body, he would forever be chased by them. He could escape for a while, but he wouldn't be able to escape forever.
How could he get rid of this thing? Looking at the Phoenix Sigil, Linlong frowned.
These days, he had naturally thought of all kinds of methods, but none of them worked at all.
Even so, he still carefully sensed the Phoenix Sigil. However, what made him feel helpless was that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sense the Phoenix Sigil, let alone get rid of it from his body.
This method didn't work, so Linlong could only think of another way.
Among those people before, there should be someone from the Mo Clan who would follow the Phoenix Sigil. If he could catch him, he should be able to get rid of the Phoenix Sigil on his body. This thought emerged in Linlong's mind.
Although he thought about it, Linlong knew that it would be very difficult to catch the other party because those people were too strong. Just a Level 5 warrior alone was enough to make him suffer, not to mention the other powerhouses.
With his current strength, going over was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock. Therefore, he could only work hard to improve his strength.
Now, the most important thing was to first make a Level 5 wooden puppet. Only then would he have a little more confidence when facing these people. With this thought in mind, Linlong couldn't be bothered to rest. He directly took out the materials from the Rune Space Ring and continued to study.
While studying, he also carefully observed everything around him because the other party could attack him at any time. If he was careless and got surrounded by them, it would be dangerous.
Soon, it was the next morning. During this time, Linlong only slept for a while. The rest of the time was spent on studying how to make a Level 5 wooden puppet.
However, what made him depressed was that he was still stuck at that point and couldn't make the Level 5 wooden puppet.
Even so, Linlong still immersed himself in studying.
