"He's a new disciple of the Dan Yang Sect," Yang Tianyi added.
"New disciple?" Zheng Ge was dumbfounded.
A new disciple is that powerful? The thought flashed across his mind.
Lin Long ignored the two of them and walked towards a tunnel in front of him.
Since it looked like a maze, there were naturally many tunnels ahead.
Zheng Ge and Yang Tianyi did not follow. After exchanging glances, Zheng Ge said, "Is Lin Long familiar with this maze?"
"I don't know," Yang Tianyi shook his head.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside again. Soon, a person walked to their side. This person was none other than the strongest person in the Dan Yang Sect, Si Majian.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the three geniuses of the three sects to meet here!" Yang Tianyi smiled at Si Majian.
"Judging from your looks, the Scarlet Eagle is hiding here, right?" Si Majian asked.
"This, I won't tell you." A mysterious smile appeared on Yang Tianyi's face.
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something on the stone wall of a tunnel ahead. Immediately, he dashed towards it.
When he arrived in front of the stone wall, he discovered a pattern on it.
This was the Four Rites Maze! Looking at the pattern, he was immediately overjoyed.
He had come into contact with and understood the Four Rites Maze, so he was naturally happy.
He did not say anything and retreated. After taking a few glances outside, he dashed into a tunnel on the left.
"Did he discover something?" Si Majian said and immediately dashed towards the tunnel.
Zheng Ge also followed behind him. Soon, they also saw the pattern.
"This is the Four Rites Maze!" Zheng Ge blurted out.
He had also come into contact with the Four Rites Maze, so he could tell at a glance.
Knowing that he had let the cat out of the bag, he frowned and retreated like Yang Tianyi. After taking a few glances outside, he dashed towards a tunnel different from Yang Tianyi's.
'Looks like Yang Tianyi hasn't mastered it yet. Since it's the Four Rites Maze, how can that tunnel be cleared?' Zheng Ge thought.
As for Si Majian, he also retreated, but he didn't follow either of them.
Miao Ren is very familiar with the Four Rites Maze, so he should know how to get there. I'll wait for him outside! With that in mind, Si Majian left the room.
Miao Ren was one of the disciples in his team. What made him happy was that not long after he came out, a group of people came over, and one of them was Miao Ren.
Not all of them were from the Core Yang Sect. There were also people from the other two sects.
Si Majian didn't care so much and directly said to Miao Ren, "Miao Ren, come here!"
Miao Ren quickly ran over and asked, "Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
"It's a Four Cardinal Maze. Think about it for a while, then bring me in!" Si Majian said in a low voice.
"Four Elements Labyrinth?" Miao Ren was naturally a little surprised when he heard Sima Jian's words.
Then, he hurriedly followed Si Majian inside.
The others also walked in at the same time.
Moments later, Miao Ren led Si Majian and the other Dan Yang Sect disciples into a passage.
This passage was clearly different from the one that Yang Tianyi and Zheng Ge had entered previously.
Those two obviously went the wrong way, as if I wasn't following behind them, Si Majian thought. He obviously trusted Miao Ren more.
As for the others, a few of them waited for a long time before following behind Si Majian and the others.
The reason for that was naturally because they were afraid that Si Majian and the other Dan Yang Sect people would attack them. After all, with Si Majian around, they were no match for the Dan Yang Sect people at all.
As for the others, they entered other passages. Some of them also knew about the Four Elements Labyrinth.
Lin Long didn't know about the Four Elements Labyrinth. The reason why he entered first was because of his bamboo rat. He believed that the bamboo rat should be able to find the Scarlet Eagle in the labyrinth.
Just now, when those people were fighting fiercely, he secretly released the bamboo rat so that it could remember the Scarlet Eagle's scent.
As expected, after entering the labyrinth and releasing the bamboo rat, the bamboo rat immediately sensed the Scarlet Eagle's location. However, what made him depressed was that after walking for a while, he realized that he had actually walked into a dead end.
Feeling helpless, he could only turn back along the road and wait for a fork in the road before choosing another direction.
However, after walking for a while, he realized that he had entered a dead end again, so he could only turn back along the road again.
Lin Long was in trouble, and so were the others. Although they walked in based on their understanding of the Four Elements Labyrinth, they soon realized that the Four Elements Labyrinth was very different from what they had encountered before.
Because of this, they soon got lost, just like Linlong.
Feeling helpless, they could only choose a new direction.
Relying on his experience and the bamboo rat's ability to lock onto the Scarlet Eagle's location, Lin Long finally found a passage that allowed him to continue walking forward.
'This should be it.' Lin Long, who was certain of that, naturally strode forward.
Not long after, Linlong found himself in a circular space. It was completely empty, but when he looked up, a joyful expression immediately appeared on Linlong's face. This was because the Scarlet Red Eagle was lying on a rock that protruded out from the stone wall above.
The Scarlet Eagle seemed to be severely injured, and it even narrowed its eyes.
Lin Long could also tell why it came here. It was because the spiritual energy here was obviously richer than other places, making it a suitable place for it to recuperate.
However, it didn't expect Lin Long to chase after it.
Just as Lin Long was about to jump up, footsteps suddenly sounded from a passage on his right. Soon after, two people appeared in front of him.
It was Si Majian and Miao Ren. As for the others, they didn't follow behind them for some reason.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Long flew up and quickly arrived at the scarlet eagle's side.
At this moment, Si Majian and Miao Ren saw the Scarlet Eagle beside him.
"Scarlet Eagle!" Si Majian and Miao Ren immediately shouted in joy.
"Junior Brother, hurry up and take down the Scarlet Eagle!" Si Majian said to Linlong.
Although Lin Long had become famous in the Core Yang Sect recently, he had been in seclusion and no one introduced him when he came that day, so he didn't know what Lin Long looked like.
"Senior Brother Si Majian, that person is Lin Long," Miao Ren said.
"Oh, so it's Linlong … You've done well. You've contributed greatly in obtaining the Crimson Hawk bloodline. When I return, I'll report this to the Sect Leader. When the time comes, he'll reward you handsomely," Si Majian said with a smile.
As Si Majian spoke, Lin Long had already stored the Scarlet Eagle into the Runic Spatial Ring and jumped down.
After coming down, Sima Jian saw that Lin Long was actually keeping his distance and had no intention of taking out the Scarlet Eagle. Sima Jian's face darkened and he coldly said, "Lin Long, what's wrong? Aren't you going to take out the Scarlet Eagle for your Senior Brother?"
"Sorry, I obtained the Scarlet Eagle. I will not give it to you," Lin Long said indifferently.
"Since the Great Elder appointed me as the team leader, you must listen to my orders. Why? Are you going against my orders?" Sima Jian's face was so dark that ink could drip from it.
He didn't expect a mere disciple like Lin Long to dare to disobey him.
Although he had never met Lin Long before, he naturally heard a lot about Lin Long. He knew that Lin Long's strength was at most an early-stage second-rank beastmaster. How could he take Lin Long seriously?
"I am not disobeying orders. The Great Elder did not say that I have to hand over anything that others obtain," Lin Long said indifferently.
Even if the Great Elder had given him such an order, he wouldn't give it to Lin Long. Moreover, the Great Elder did not say such a thing.
"You are courting death!" Si Majian could not help but shout angrily.
After saying that, he directly said to Miao Ren, "Miao Ren, this Lin Long is disobeying orders. Take him down!"
In his opinion, Lin Long's strength was not worthy of him taking action. Hence, he directly ordered Miao Ren to take him down.
Miao Ren was a third-rank second-rank beastmaster. In his opinion, taking down Lin Long was a piece of cake.
"Yes!"
Since it was Sima Jian's order, how could Miao Ren hesitate? He stood up and brandished the longsword in his hand.
"Lin Long, how dare you disobey Senior Brother Sima's order. You must have eaten a leopard's guts!" Miao Ren attacked Lin Long with his sword.
Lin Long casually threw out a punch.
'How dare a mere second-rank beastmaster look down on Miao Ren. Isn't he courting death?' This thought flashed across Si Majian's mind when he saw that Lin Long did not even take out his longsword.
However, in the next moment, his expression immediately turned ugly. This was because he discovered that Lin Long's punch was extremely powerful, and his strength was clearly above Miao Ren's.
Miao Ren also noticed this, but what else could he do? He could only bite the bullet and thrust his longsword forward.
Bang!
Miao Ren was sent flying with a dull thud. Not only was he sent flying, but the longsword in his hand also broke into two.
This kid has the strength of a second-rank beastmaster! Si Majian could not help but be shocked when he sensed Lin Long's true strength.
He looked at Lin Long in disbelief. He could not understand how a disciple who had just entered the Dan Yang Sect could be so powerful.
Miao Ren, who was sent flying, also had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Brat, you actually have the strength of a second-rank beastmaster. You've really hidden your strength well!" Si Majian said coldly.
"Could this kid be a spy sent to our Dan Yang Sect by some faction?" Miao Ren said from the other side.
Lin Long had been hiding his strength all this time. Even the Sect Master and the Great Elder could not see through it. He could not help but be suspicious.
Si Majian also thought of this, so he could not help but ask, "Kid, who sent you?"
"You don't have to tell us," Lin Long said with a faint smile.
"Looks like you're really courting death!" Si Majian sneered and pointed his longsword at Lin Long.
In the next moment, he moved and stabbed his sword at Lin Long.
Lin Long immediately countered with his sword.
Bang!
The sword aura collided and both of them were forced to retreat. It seemed like they were evenly matched.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, a black shadow immediately appeared behind Si Majian. The black shadow looked like a leopard.
It was obvious that Si Majian had activated his Origin Talent as a beast.
Lin Long naturally did not dare to be careless and immediately activated his Sirius Cat's Origin Talent.
"Sirius Cat's Origin Talent. Brat, it seems like even my black leopard's Origin Talent is no match for you!" Si Majian frowned.
However, he still attacked Lin Long with his sword.
Lin Long immediately countered with his sword. In an instant, the sword aura shot out like a Sirius Cat.
Bang!
A muffled sound and Si Majian could not help but retreat. In the end, he even spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he was injured by Lin Long's sword.
"Brat, it seems like I'm no match for you if I don't take out the Bloodline Sword!" As he spoke, Si Majian put away the longsword in his hand and took out another sword.
It was a blood-red longsword.
"Bloodline Sword!" Miao Ren could not help but exclaim when he saw Si Majian take out the longsword.
He did not expect Si Majian to have a Bloodline Sword.
"I just obtained it a while ago and did not have the time to show it to my fellow brothers and sisters," Si Majian said to Miao Ren proudly.
The Bloodline Sword was forged using the innate bloodline of a beast and special materials. Therefore, the sword contained powerful energy.
However, the energy on a normal Bloodline Sword would weaken as the number of times it was used.
Si Majian's Bloodline Sword should be such a Bloodline Sword, which was why he did not take it out immediately.
"Brat, you may be powerful, but how can you be a match for my Bloodline Sword!" Si Majian said with a sinister expression as he looked at Lin Long.
It had been many years since he had lost to a disciple of the Core Yang Sect. It was a humiliation for him to be defeated by Lin Long.
As he spoke, he strode towards Lin Long.
What he didn't expect was that Linlong actually turned around and ran into a tunnel behind him.
"Trying to escape?!" Si Majian roared and immediately gave chase.
However, to his dismay, Linlong was extremely fast. After chasing for a while, he actually lost track of him.
Dammit, how could this brat have such a movement technique! Si Majian could not help but roar in his heart.
However, he had no other choice but to search in this maze.
After a while, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Is it Lin Long?
Si Majian was delighted at first, but his brows immediately furrowed when he saw who it was.
The person in front of him was not Lin Long, but Yang Tianyi.
"Brother Sima, who are you chasing?" Yang Tianyi could not help but ask.
"After Lin Long, he stole the Scarlet Eagle!" Si Majian said this because he knew it would be difficult to find Lin Long alone.
"Are you telling the truth?" Yang Tianyi asked doubtfully.
Lin Long was from the Core Yang Sect, so he did not dare to easily believe Si Majian's words.
"Of course it's true. If there's a single lie, I will cut off one of my arms!" Si Majian said with a dark expression.
"Alright, I believe you!" Yang Tianyi nodded.
Looking at Si Majian's expression, Yang Tianyi believed that even if he caught up to Lin Long and discovered that Lin Long did not have the Scarlet Eagle, he could still deal with Si Majian.
The two of them immediately began to search for Lin Long.
