Not long after, Lin Long refined the Phoenix Elixir and immediately swallowed it after refining it.
The Phoenix Elixir was indeed effective. Coupled with his own internal cultivation technique, he quickly removed the Phoenix Sigil on his body.
Seeing the Phoenix Sigil on his arm disappear, Lin Long couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. The problem that had been troubling him before was finally solved.
Because of the Phoenix Sigil, when he faced Mo Shengfang and the others in the secret realm, he was afraid that they would discover the Phoenix Sigil on his arm.
Fortunately, they didn't discover the Phoenix Sigil on his arm like Mo Linfeng did.
Thinking of Mo Linfeng, he thought of the three Gold Devouring Beetles he obtained from Mo Linfeng. He hadn't drawn the Rune Sigil on these three Gold Devouring Beetles yet.
He immediately took out the three Gold Devouring Beetles and drew the Rune Sigil related to the Gold Devouring Beetles on them.
Not long after, he had three more Gold Devouring Beetles that he could control.
Looking at these 11 Gold Devouring Beetles, he had a satisfied expression on his face.
Unknowingly, he had stayed in this cave for more than half a day.
I wonder how Mo Wensong is doing? Lin Long thought to himself.
However, it was already midnight, so Lin Long didn't want to go over. He planned to rest here and wait until the next day.
What Lin Long didn't know was that at this moment, in Mo Shi City, an old man in white was flying towards him. This old man in white was none other than the Mo family's head, Mo Gaoming.
The reason why Mo Gaoming came over was that his Gold Devouring Beetles had sensed the aura on Lin Long's Gold Devouring Beetles.
Mo Gaoming was a level-six martialist, so his Gold Devouring Beetles were much stronger than Lin Long's. Therefore, even though they were far away, his Gold Devouring Beetles could still sense it.
If the Gold Devouring Beetles weren't Lin Long's or Mo Wensong's, he just had to go over and kill them! Mo Gaoming thought to himself as he flew.
He didn't even call the other members of the Mo family. Instead, he charged over alone. After all, it wasn't that troublesome to come over alone, and he wouldn't alarm the other party.
Not long after, Lin Long, who was meditating in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes. He furrowed his brows because he discovered that an expert was approaching him.
If it wasn't for his powerful Spirit Force, he probably wouldn't have noticed the other party until he arrived outside his cave.
Could it be that Mo Gaoming? The other party's aura was so powerful that Lin Long couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
Apart from a sixth-level warrior like Mo Gaoming, no one else could emit such a powerful aura.
How did Mo Gaoming find him? Such a thought flashed through Linlong's mind.
Knowing that now was not the time to delve into this issue, he immediately threw it to the back of his mind and dashed out of the cave.
As soon as he came out, he flew toward the deep mountains behind him.
His opponent was powerful, so he had no choice but to choose a more advantageous method and terrain to deal with his opponent.
What, have I been discovered? Mo Gaoming noticed Linlong's departure right away, and he was naturally surprised.
Immediately after, he chased after Linlong. His speed was much faster than Linlong's, so he quickly discovered Linlong flying in the void ahead of him.
He sped up to catch up.
At the same time, Linlong also realized that the person behind him was chasing after him. He knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up if he continued to fly, so he directly descended.
After running for a while in the dense forest below, he was still caught by the other party.
With a leap, Mo Gaoming directly blocked in front of Linlong.
"You're Lin Li, right?" Seeing that it was a youth, Mo Gaoming guessed that it was Linlong.
"That's right." Linlong nodded, then said, "Then you're the patriarch of the Mo Family, Mo Gaoming?"
"That's right." Mo Gaoming nodded, then said, "You're so young, but you actually have such strength. What a surprise!"
He was really shocked because Linlong was too young, and he could already tell that Linlong was definitely a fourth-level warrior.
How could he not be surprised that such a young fourth-level warrior could control the Gold Devouring Beetles?
One must know that when Linlong was at this age, he was merely a prodigy in the Mo Family. He didn't even see what the Gold Devouring Beetles looked like.
"Thank you for your praise," Linlong said with a smile.
Seeing Linlong's confident expression, Mo Gaoming could not help but say, "Also, you actually don't feel afraid when you see this patriarch."
He was currently a sixth-level warrior! When he released his aura, even the elders' expressions would change. Yet, the youth in front of him still looked calm and collected. How could he not be surprised?
"When facing an enemy, fear will not help you. It will only make you weaker," Linlong said calmly.
Hearing Linlong's words, Mo Gaoming could not help but be stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. "Hahaha, that's right."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Kid, I think very highly of you. If you join my Mo Family, I will create a vice-patriarch position and let you do whatever you want. Then, when I'm old, the patriarch position will be yours!"
He wasn't just saying this for fun. He truly cherished his talent.
Linlong smiled, and said, "Unfortunately, I'm already standing on the opposite side of you. That kind of thing can never happen."
"What? What benefits did that old fella Mo Wensong give you? If he really did give you some benefits, then can I double it? "Mo Gaoming could not help but say.
These words made Linlong's face twitch.
"He didn't give me any conditions," Linlong said.
"How is that possible? That old fella is also an old fox. How could he not give you conditions?" Mo Gaoming could not help but say. He suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "Did he use beauties to recruit you? If that's the case, I'll call all the beauties in the Far West in front of you and let you choose. How about it? "
Was this person really the patriarch of the Mo Family, Mo Gaoming? Hearing Mo Gaoming's words, Linlong did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He had no choice but to say seriously, "This has nothing to do with beauties."
"You're saying that you refuse my conditions and must become enemies with my Mo Family and me?" Hearing Linlong's words, Mo Gaoming's face could not help but darken.
"That's right," Linlong said calmly.
He was chased by Mo Shengfang and the others in the secret realm, and because of his relationship with Zhao Yu and Zhu Yun, how could such a thing change because of a single sentence from Mo Gaoming?
"Since that's the case, then I can only bear the pain and kill you!" Mo Gaoming's face became even more gloomy.
After a slight pause, he said, "I heard that you can control eight Gold Devouring Beetles, so release them. If you don't release all of them, you have no chance of defeating me!"
Linlong also knew this, so he immediately released his Gold Devouring Beetles. Immediately, a row of Gold Devouring Beetles appeared in front of him.
"Ten … eleven?" Mo Gaoming's eyes immediately widened as he swept his gaze over them.
Originally, he only heard that Linlong had eight, but now there were three more. How could he not be surprised?
He could not help but ask, "You, why do you have three more?"
He did not believe that Mo Shengfang would make a mistake. In that kind of situation, when Linlong was being chased by Mo Shengfang and the others, it was impossible for Linlong not to release all of his Gold Devouring Beetles.
Therefore, he was sure that Linlong had controlled three more Gold Devouring Beetles in a short period of time.
In this way, he was even more certain that Linlong had a method to control the Gold Devouring Beetles in a short period of time. Of course, he guessed that it was Mo Wensong who taught him.
Therefore, he asked again, "What method do you have to control the Gold Devouring Beetles in a short period of time?"
His eyes lit up. Once he obtained Linlong's method, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
"There is indeed such a method, but I naturally won't tell you," Linlong said indifferently.
"Brat, it seems that you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." As he said this, Mo Gaoming raised his hand, and a few Gold Devouring Beetles appeared in front of him.
There were only six Gold Devouring Beetles.
It seemed that the Mo Clan didn't know that Mo Gaoming had so many Gold Devouring Beetles, Linlong thought.
Mo Gaoming seemed to know what Linlong was thinking, and he said, "You must be curious why others say that I only have one Gold Devouring Beetle. That's because I only released one Gold Devouring Beetle in front of them. Moreover, Gold Devouring Beetles are simply difficult to obtain, so they think that way."
"Is that so? These six Gold Devouring Beetles are your limit, right?" Linlong asked.
"That's right, these six Gold Devouring Beetles are my limit," Mo Gaoming said.
He was confident that he could deal with Linlong, so he naturally didn't mind revealing his background.
"Alright, brat, I won't waste any more words with you. After I capture you, I'll use you to find that old fellow Mo Wensong!" As he said this, Mo Gaoming pointed his finger, and his Gold Devouring Beetles immediately shot toward Linlong.
Linlong's Gold Devouring Beetles immediately went up to meet them.
Although Linlong's Gold Devouring Beetles were almost twice as many as his opponent's, the scales of victory and defeat weren't measured by quantity. This was because Mo Gaoming was a sixth grade warrior, and his Gold Devouring Beetles were imperceptibly much stronger than Linlong's.
Therefore, although Linlong's Gold Devouring Beetles were numerous, they didn't have much of an advantage over his opponent's Gold Devouring Beetles.
Linlong knew that he had to take the fourth grade Energy Force Pill and the Scarlet Patterned Snake's crystal. Otherwise, his Gold Devouring Beetles wouldn't be able to withstand his opponent's Gold Devouring Beetles.
With this thought in mind, Linlong directly swallowed these two items. In an instant, the strength of his body immediately skyrocketed.
This kind of skyrocketing increase immediately affected his 11 Gold Devouring Beetles.
"How did your strength suddenly increase so much? Could it be that you were originally a fifth grade warrior? "Sensing Linlong's increase in strength, Mo Gaoming couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Could it be that this is some kind of secret technique?" Mo Gaoming said as he thought of something.
After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "However, no matter how much your strength increases, you won't be able to reach the realm of a sixth grade warrior. Therefore, you're no match for me at all. All of your efforts are in vain!"
It was indeed as he said. Although Linlong's strength had increased, and the strength of his 11 Gold Devouring Beetles had also increased by a lot, they were still at a disadvantage in the process of competing with his opponent's Gold Devouring Beetles.
However, they were still at a disadvantage against the Gold Devouring Beetles. After a while, the eleven Gold Devouring Beetles were more or less injured.
Knowing that these Gold Devouring Beetles would definitely die at his opponent's hands, Linlong directly released the Silver Beetles.
"Silver Beetles!" Seeing Linlong release the Silver Beetles, Mo Gaoming's face revealed a look of surprise.
He couldn't help but say, "As expected, Mo Shengfang didn't lie to me. You can control two different flying insects at the same time!"
After a slight pause, he continued, "However, as the patriarch of the Mo family, how can I not be able to do this?"
As he spoke, a few other different flying insects suddenly appeared in front of him. These flying insects were completely fiery red, and Linlong couldn't tell what kind of flying insects they were for a moment.
However, he could feel the strength of these flying insects. Sure enough, after the two kinds of flying insects clashed, Linlong's Silver Beetles were unable to resist, just like the Gold Devouring Beetles.
Lin Long furrowed his brows and abruptly turned around, fleeing in the opposite direction.
"Trying to escape?"
As he spoke, Mo Gaoming immediately chased after him.
Who knew that just as his figure moved, a black shadow would suddenly appear in front of him. This black shadow appeared without a sound, and even he couldn't react in time.
"Boom!"
With such a loud sound, he was actually sent flying by this black shadow.
This black shadow was naturally the runic woodman that Linlong suddenly released. Because the runic woodman's aura was very weak, and Mo Gaoming was currently controlling the flying insects, his strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, he didn't expect that something would suddenly attack him, so he was directly hit.
Linlong knew that the runic woodman's punch would at most injure Mo Gaoming a little, and it wouldn't be able to stop him at all. Therefore, after his attack succeeded, he immediately called back the runic woodman. At the same time, he also called back the nine Gold Devouring Beetles. As for the Silver Beetles, they were all left behind to obstruct Mo Gaoming.
Because Mo Gaoming was temporarily restrained, his flying insects weren't as ferocious as before, and Linlong was able to call them back. Once the flying insects were called back, he immediately sprinted forward at full speed.
Right now, he also hoped that he could escape, because it was impossible to win in a head-on clash with his opponent.
"Brat!" After falling to the ground, Mo Gaoming quickly bounced back to his feet and chased after Lin Long while angrily cursing.
Naturally, he also unleashed his full speed. Although the terrain here was complicated, with his strength, he was still able to slowly close the distance between him and Linlong.
Brat, your speed is really fast. If you were given a few more years, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up to you. But now, you're no match for me at all! Mo Gaoming shouted in his heart.
Hmm, that's not right! Suddenly, he furrowed his brows because he discovered that there were many powerful vicious beasts in front of him.
By the time he came to his senses, he was actually surrounded by these vicious beasts.
Helpless, he could only fight against these vicious beasts. These vicious beasts were naturally no match for him, but by the time he finished killing them, Linlong had already disappeared.
This brat can actually still use these vicious beasts. His expression was extremely gloomy.
He immediately released his Gold Devouring Beetles, but they had no way of sensing Linlong's location.
Helpless, he could only rely on his divine sense to search for Linlong nearby. He felt that Linlong was definitely nearby, and as long as he searched seriously, he would definitely be able to find him.
However, after searching for half a day, he still couldn't find Linlong. In the end, he could only helplessly leave.
Not long after, after confirming that the other party had left, Linlong emerged from a hidden place.
Fortunately, there was that group of vicious beasts just now. Otherwise, he would definitely have been caught again. Linlong heaved a sigh of relief.
This was also the reason why he had fled into the depths of the dense forest.
Fortunately, he had encountered that group of vicious beasts just in time.
Although he had escaped from the other party's pursuit, Linlong's expression was somewhat ugly. This was because the two Gold Devouring Beetles he had left behind had already died, and only three of those Silver Beetles were left.
This time, his losses could be said to be disastrous.
The other party should have sensed his location through the Gold Devouring Beetles, so in the future, Linlong thought to himself, I can't release them unless it's necessary.
During this period of time, he naturally found the reason why the other party had discovered him.
After confirming that the other party had truly left, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited for the side effects to flare up and disappear before heading towards the cave where Mo Wensong had been previously.
After arriving nearby, he didn't directly walk over. Instead, he stopped nearby for a while to make sure that Mo Gaoming wasn't nearby, then walked into the cave.
Very quickly, he entered the stone room inside.
Zhao Yu and the other two were all inside. After taking the Huo Yun Pill, Mo Wensong was clearly much better. With the aura of a martial artist on his body, he now looked like a level six martial artist.
However, a level six martial artist like him was much weaker than Mo Gaoming. This was naturally because Mo Wensong had been injured for too long.
As soon as Linlong entered, Zhao Yu and Zhu Yun asked anxiously, "Junior Lin, are you alright?"
Linlong couldn't help but ask, "Hmm, why do you ask?"
"Previously, grandfather sensed a powerful aura nearby and told us not to go out. Naturally, we were worried that something would happen to you," Zhao Yu said.
"I did indeed encounter some trouble, because I ran into Mo Gaoming," Linlong said.
"What? You ran into Mo Gaoming?" Zhao Yu and Zhu Yun couldn't help but widen their eyes. They naturally knew that Mo Gaoming was a level six martial artist.
"That's right."
"That Mo Gaoming is a level six martial artist. You ran into him and came back unscathed?" Mo Wensong couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I couldn't come back unscathed. I lost two Gold Devouring Beetles, and I only have three Silver Beetles left," Linlong said with a bitter smile.
"You're lucky to have only lost a few. You should know that you're only a level four martial artist …" Speaking up to this point, Mo Wensong couldn't help but say, "No, you're only a level four martial artist. How could you escape from the palm of your opponent's hand?"
"I was lucky. I ran into a group of ferocious beasts. Those ferocious beasts entangled him, so I was able to escape," Linlong casually said.
He naturally didn't want to reveal his background.
"In short, it's good that you escaped," Zhao Yu and Zhu Yun said.
As they spoke, they looked at Linlong from head to toe, as though they were afraid that Linlong was missing a piece of flesh.
Then, Zhao Yu looked at Mo Wensong and said, "Grandfather, that Mo Gaoming is so powerful. How can we deal with him?"
