As expected, a few days later, Huang Ling mentioned the matter of gathering herbs at the back of the mountain.
"The day after tomorrow, the sect will arrange a mission for all of you, which is to search for a type of herb called Light Blue Leaf in the direction of the back of the mountain. This herb isn't precious, but the sect needs a large amount of this herb recently, so we need your help."
"Don't worry, there aren't any ferocious beasts in the direction of the back of the mountain, so there won't be any danger. You just need to be patient and you'll be able to complete the mission given by the sect."
Huang Ling said.
Naturally, they had no other choice but to obey.
The day after tomorrow, Huang Ling led them to the direction of the mountain behind the sect. Soon, they arrived at the mountain behind the Dan Yang Sect.
"It's in the mountains up ahead. Although there aren't any dangers, I hope that you can form groups of two or three … Go."
Under Huang Ling's order, the disciples immediately headed towards the mountains in front of them.
In the process, Linlong realized that He Xuan was secretly glaring at him from behind. When Linlong turned around, He Xuan pretended that he didn't do anything.
'This He Xuan is obviously not convinced.' Linlong thought to himself.
With his experience, how could he not tell?
Linlong did not take it to heart.
Linlong naturally teamed up with Guo Tiezhu. After searching for a while, he finally understood why the disciples were asked to search for the Light Blue Leaf.
The Light Blue Leaf was a type of herb that grew among the weeds. Although there were many of them, they were not easy to find. They only found a few after searching for a long time.
Moreover, the price of this herb was very cheap. Therefore, no one would search for it. Naturally, the sect ordered the outer sect disciples to search for it.
Suddenly, Linlong frowned because he realized that someone was approaching them. Moreover, it was obvious that it wasn't the disciples.
Soon, three people appeared in front of them.
They were three young men in their twenties, wearing the uniform of the Dan Yang Sect's inner sect disciples.
"Greetings, Senior Brothers," Guo Tiezhu greeted the three of them immediately.
"Mm." The leader of the three nodded and said, "Which one of you is Linlong?"
"I am. May I know what business you have with me, Senior Brother?" Linlong asked indifferently.
"You're Linlong? You actually dare to bully Senior Brother He's cousin? "The person on the right immediately shouted.
Upon hearing this, how could Linlong not know that these three people were recruited by He Xuan? The person in the middle was clearly He Xuan's cousin.
"Senior Brother, I don't understand what you're saying." Lin Long pretended to be at a loss.
"You don't understand? Then I'll tell you, He Xuan is Senior Brother He's cousin! "The man pointed at the youth in the middle.
"Brat, you dare to bully my cousin? As an outer disciple who has yet to even obtain a Ferocious Beast Bloodline, aren't you a little too gutsy?" He Xuan's cousin, He Yihan, immediately said.
"Senior brother, I really don't understand what you're talking about. Since when did I bully your cousin?" Lin Long was still at a loss.
"Brat, looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" He Yihan said coldly.
After saying that, he began to clench his fists, looking like he was about to teach Linlong a lesson.
"Guo Tiezhu, you leave first." Linlong looked at Guo Tiezhu and said.
Guo Tiezhu was already so scared that his legs were already trembling. However, when he heard Linlong's words, he was a little confused. "Then if I leave, you … won't …"
"Didn't you hear?" Linlong frowned.
"Then … I'll leave first." Seeing Linlong like this, Guo Tiezhu hurriedly left.
Could it be that Big Brother Lin wants me to look for Master Huang? Guo Tiezhu's eyes lit up when he thought of something.
Usually, a teacher like Huang Ling wouldn't interfere in such matters. However, the problem was that Huang Ling had received benefits from them, so he probably wouldn't sit idly by and watch.
Thinking of this, Guo Tiezhu ran even faster.
The two people beside He Yihan originally wanted to stop Guo Tiezhu, but He Yihan extended his hand to stop them.
"Senior brother He, that brat is probably going to call for his teacher. Why didn't you stop him?" One of them asked in confusion.
"There's no need to stop him. We'll leave after beating him up. By the time Huang Ling arrives, we'll be long gone. At that time, how can he insist that we were the culprits? Moreover, Huang Ling wouldn't offend an inner disciple for an outer disciple like him." He Yihan said proudly.
"Senior Brother is right." Both of them nodded their heads.
"Alright, now is the time to teach that brat a lesson!" As he spoke, the corners of He Yihan's mouth curled into a sinister smile as he walked towards Linlong.
"Master Huang!" At this moment, Linlong suddenly pointed behind the three and shouted in joy.
That brat's teacher is here? The three of them couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Linlong's words.
If Huang Ling really was here, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch them attack Linlong. If this matter was reported to the inner sect enforcement elder, they would definitely be punished.
Hence, the three of them subconsciously withdrew their hands and hurriedly turned their heads to see if Huang Ling had really arrived.
He Yihan's expression immediately turned incomparably ugly when he turned his head. There was no one behind him.
Knowing that he had been tricked, he was naturally enraged. However, before he could even turn his head, a gust of wind viciously struck his chin.
This punch was too sudden, and he was unable to react in time. His chin was directly smashed by the fist.
"Ahhh …"
The intense pain caused him to involuntarily let out a miserable cry. At the same time, he clutched his chin and squatted down.
In that instant, he even thought that his chin had been smashed off. However, after touching it, he heaved a sigh of relief. His chin was still there, but it seemed to have swollen.
Knowing that Linlong was the culprit, he naturally roared in anger, "Chase him!"
Of course, his mouth was no longer as nimble as before.
His two lackeys were stunned for a moment before they hurriedly chased after Linlong, who had already turned around to flee.
After roaring angrily, He Yihan also quickly gave chase.
What they did not expect was that they actually lost Linlong after chasing for a while due to the complicated terrain. They had no idea where he had run off to.
"Senior Brother He, what should we do?" Looking at He Yihan whose chin was swollen, one of the two lackeys hurriedly asked.
"That brat can't have gone far … Find him … Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to … find him …" He Yihan said in pain.
The three of them immediately began to search for Linlong in the vicinity.
Little did they know that Linlong was currently on a tree above their heads.
Knowing that he would not be a match for the three of them if he did not consume a Energy Force Pill, Linlong swallowed a Grade 4 Energy Force Pill.
Then, he took out a scarf and covered his face with it. Not only that, but he also put on a black coat on the outside.
The reason for this was because he wanted to beat up the three of them so that they would not know that he was Linlong. Linlong did not want to expose his strength. After all, he was currently only an outer sect disciple. Exposing his strength would not do him any good since he had yet to awaken his cultivation talent.
After everything was prepared, he immediately landed in front of one of the three lackeys.
When he saw a masked man dressed in black suddenly appear in front of him, he could not help but cry out in alarm. "Who are you?"
Linlong ignored him and directly threw a punch at him.
The lackey hurriedly countered with a palm strike.
Bang!
A loud sound was produced when the force collided. Then, the lackey was forced back by Linlong's attack.
This lackey was only a rank 1 seventh grade beastmaster. How could he possibly be a match for Linlong, who had consumed a Grade 4 Energy Force Pill and possessed the strength of a peak rank 1 beastmaster?
Seeing that Linlong was not easy to deal with, the lackey hurriedly pulled out his sword. However, before he could attack with his sword, Linlong's fist smashed at him again.
After a muffled sound, he was once again hit by Linlong. This time, he fell to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, He Yihan and his lackey naturally rushed over. However, when they arrived at the scene, his lackey's face was already swollen like a pig's head.
"Who are you?" Seeing that his lackey had been beaten to such a state in such a short period of time, He Yihan was naturally shocked.
As they spoke, the two of them naturally took out their long swords and then cautiously confronted Linlong.
"Who am I? Let me tell you, I am Linlong's uncle. "Linlong pretended to be very hoarse as he said.
"You are Linlong's uncle?" The two men in front of him frowned and said, "What do you want?"
"What do I want? You guys bullied Linlong, so naturally, I am here to teach you guys a lesson. I will let you know that he is not to be trifled with," Linlong said.
"Tsk tsk, you are only a peak rank 1 beastmaster. How dare you come to teach us a lesson!" He Yihan sneered at this moment.
He had roughly seen Linlong's strength, so he was not as worried as before.
"Peak rank 1? You are wrong. I have the strength of a late-stage rank 2 beastmaster. I just haven't revealed my true strength yet because the two of you are not worthy of me showing my true strength, "Linlong said indifferently.
"Tsk tsk, who doesn't know how to brag?" He Yihan mocked.
Since he had already confirmed Linlong's strength, he was not afraid at all. After all, his level was similar to Linlong's, and there was another person beside him. If the two of them joined forces, how could Linlong be a match for him?
After saying that, he directly looked at the person beside him and said, "Lin Qi, let's go together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them immediately brandished the sharp swords in their hands and attacked Linlong.
As for Linlong, he directly used the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique. Although his current level was similar to He Yihan's, since he had already completely grasped the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique, he did not have to worry about not being able to deal with the two of them.
As expected, once the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique was used, the unpredictable sword technique immediately made it difficult for He Yihan and the other person to deal with it.
After a few moves, they did not even manage to touch the corner of Linlong's clothes. On the contrary, Linlong's sword technique had already threatened Lin Qi several times.
This was the benefit of mastering a powerful martial technique.
Of course, He Yihan and the other person also used some kind of martial technique. However, their martial technique could not compare to Linlong's Nimble Serpent Sword Technique. Therefore, even if the two of them joined forces, they still did not have the upper hand against the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique.
"This is the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique!" After a while, He Yihan finally figured out what sword technique Linlong was using.
Of course, he could also deal with an ordinary Nimble Serpent Sword Technique. However, the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique displayed by Linlong had clearly reached the advanced stage. How could He Yihan possibly deal with it?
Could it be that this guy really did not use his full strength? Was he really a late-stage second rank beast practitioner? This thought involuntarily emerged in He Yihan's mind.
After all, how could an ordinary late-stage first rank beast practitioner use the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique to such a level?
"I thought you were blind," Linlong indifferently said.
His words made He Yihan so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Since this is the Nimble Serpent Sword Technique, doesn't that mean that it has already reached the advanced stage?" Beside him, Lin Qi also asked in astonishment.
"That's right, it has indeed reached the advanced stage. Therefore, the two of you are no match for me!" As he spoke, the sword in Linlong's hand became even more erratic.
After two moves, Linlong's longsword pierced Lin Qi's wrist with an "Ah!". Then, the longsword in Lin Qi's hand was sent flying away.
In this way, He Yihan was even less of a match for Linlong. After another two moves, his wrist was also struck by the tip of Linlong's sword.
With a blood-curdling scream, the longsword in his hand fell to the ground.
Before He Yihan could come back to his senses, the tip of Linlong's sword was already pointed at his throat.
How could He Yihan dare to move when he saw the sharp tip of the sword?
"You are He Xuan's cousin. What is your name?" Linlong asked.
From the beginning until now, He Yihan had never said his name. How could Linlong know? He only heard He Yihan call the person beside him Lin Qi.
"My name is He Yihan," He Yihan said through gritted teeth.
Linlong coldly said, "He Yihan, is it? You are truly bold to even dare to bully my nephew, Linlong."
He Yihan and Lin Qi's faces couldn't help but twitch when they heard Linlong's words. Linlong's words were clearly the same words they had said to him earlier.
He Yihan coldly said, "I am an inner sect disciple of the Core Yang Sect. If you dare to do anything to me, the Core Yang Sect will definitely not let you off!"
"Your words make me want to chop off your hand!" As he spoke, Linlong's longsword moved and a sword light immediately slashed at He Yihan's left shoulder.
He Yihan was naturally alarmed, but Linlong's sword was extremely fast. How could he possibly dodge it?
However, he heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Linlong was only trying to scare him. After the sword light flashed, it only cut off half of his sleeve.
He Yihan, who had just escaped death, was naturally so shocked that cold sweat appeared on his back.
Linlong calmly smiled and said, "If you say the same words again, I can't guarantee that my sword technique will be as good next time."
He Yihan frowned and said, "What are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do? Naturally, I am teaching you guys a lesson on behalf of my nephew, Linlong. Of course, if you are willing to listen to Linlong in the future, I will pretend that nothing happened, "Linlong said.
It was precisely because of this thought that he didn't act ruthlessly. Otherwise, the three of them would already be dead.
