If he wanted to make a move, the old man would have already done so. After pondering for a moment, Lin Long walked in.
After entering, Old Fei actually moved a chair to the tea table, then pointed to the chair and said to Linlong, "Little brother, have a seat."
No way, why is Old Fei so respectful to Lin Long? Qian Mu couldn't help but be surprised at this scene.
Although Old Fei was only a guest in the Dan Yang Sect, his position in the sect wasn't low. Even the Sect Master had to be polite to him.
Therefore, he was naturally surprised to see Old Fei being so respectful to Lin Long.
Although Lin Long was also puzzled, he still walked over and sat down.
Just as he sat down, Old Fei made another shocking statement. "Little brother, if Elder Qian or the Dan Yang Sect has offended you in any way, I hope that you won't take it to heart for my sake."
"What do you mean, Old Fei?" Lin Long furrowed his brows.
"To be honest, I can already tell that it wasn't Elder Qian's intention to bring you here," said Old Fei.
Lin Long felt relieved after hearing Old Fei's words. After all, with Qian Mu's character, there was no need for him to be so respectful to a disciple like Lin Long, no matter how strong he was.
"Although I don't know what happened between the two of you, I hope that you won't take it to heart in the future," Old Fei repeated his words.
"Since that's the case, why don't you deal with me directly?" Lin Long asked directly.
"Can I say that I don't have the confidence to do so?" Old Fei smiled indifferently.
"Oh." As he spoke, Lin Long sized up Old Fei again. He didn't expect Old Fei to be able to see through some of his strength.
After a slight pause, Lin Long said, "Since that's the case, we'll do as Old Fei says."
"But before that, I hope that you can remove the restraints on Elder Qian," said Old Fei.
This Old Fei actually managed to see through this, Lin Long thought in astonishment.
Then, he nodded and said, "Alright then."
After speaking, he took out a pill and placed it on the table before saying to Qian Mu, "Take this pill and you'll be fine."
"Thank you, Young Master Lin." At this moment, Qian Mu naturally stopped acting and thanked Lin Fan.
Linlong ignored him and looked at Old Taoist Fei. "Goodbye."
Old Fei also stood up and said, "Then little brother, this old man will not see you off."
As for Linlong, he turned around and walked outside.
As he watched Lin Long leave, Qian Mu couldn't help but ask, "Old Fei, since you've already noticed that there's something wrong with him, why didn't you make a move?"
In his opinion, since Elder Fei was a rank four beast tamer, he would definitely be able to take down Linlong.
Unexpectedly, Old Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not confident that I can take him down."
"But you're a fourth rank beast," Qian Mu couldn't help but say.
"Let's not talk about this anymore …" Old Fei shook his head before continuing. "Actually, I acted for another reason."
"Another reason?" Qian Mu asked, puzzled.
Elder Fei said, "I've obtained a secret book on physiognomy these past few years. After studying it for so many years, I think I know some of the techniques of physiognomy. However, I can't see through this child's physiognomy."
Qian Mu said, "Or perhaps, he's just a very ordinary person."
"No." Old Fei shook his head again. "Not only is his physiognomy unfathomable, I even felt a sense of fear in my heart at that moment. Although I don't know what it means, I do know one thing, and that is that this child is not someone I can provoke. If I do, I'm afraid I'll be met with a fatal disaster."
"Is that really the case?" Qian Mu asked in astonishment.
"Yes." Old Fei nodded before continuing, "That's why I said those words just now, to let him bury the hatchet between our sect and him."
Qian Mu said, "However, Old Fei, you might not know this, but this child killed the most outstanding disciple of our Pill Yang Sect, Si Majian … Moreover, I heard him say that the fourth elder was also killed by him."
Old Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "What? He killed Si Majian and Peng Kaicheng?"
"That's right." Qian Mu nodded before continuing, "That's why the conflict between our Pill Yang Sect and this child cannot be reconciled."
Old Fei said, "Even so, I must convince the Sect Master to stop targeting this child. In fact, I must seize any opportunity to get closer to this child."
Qian Mu could see his determination from the expression on his face.
Old Fei paused for a moment before continuing, "So, Elder Qian, after you consume this pill, call the Sect Master back. I want to tell him about this and ask him to call the Sect Master back so that he won't make things difficult for this little brother."
"Alright." Qian Mu immediately nodded.
Putting aside the physiognomy that Old Fei mentioned, he knew that with Linlong's strength, the consequences would be unimaginable if the Pill Yang Sect continued to surround and kill him.
It could be said that apart from the Sect Master, everyone else could be killed.
After saying that, Qian Mu immediately consumed the pill that Linlong left behind. In just a short while, he felt his body clearly relax and the dizziness he felt when the energy passed through the Yongquan Acupoint at the bottom of his feet was no longer present.
After confirming that the toxicity of the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill had been eliminated, Qian Mu heaved a sigh of relief and said to Old Fei, "Old Fei, I'll go out and tell the Sect Master about this."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
When Qian Mu went to look for Ma Wangshan, Ma Wangshan was gathered with the other two Sect Masters and some other important figures from the three sects.
The reason why they were gathered was because Lv Gongyi and the others had disappeared.
"Sect Master Qin, where did your Scarlet Phoenix Sect's Elder Bai Mo bring Lv Gongyi and the others to?" Heavenly Silkworm Sect's Sect Master Fu Yang asked coldly as he looked at the Scarlet Phoenix Sect's Sect Master.
"Sect Master Fu, why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?" Sect Master Qin of the Scarlet Phoenix Sect frowned and said coldly.
"My subordinates saw him in the courtyard and randomly pointed at the direction for my subordinates to leave. When they returned, Lv Gongyi and Elder Bai Mo were nowhere to be seen. If Elder Bai Mo didn't take them away, who else could it be?" Fu Yang said coldly.
"There's no such thing because I didn't order Elder Bai Mo to do so," Sect Master Qin said.
"Sect Master Qin, why don't you call Elder Bai Mo over and I'll confront him!" Fu Yang said again.
"I've already ordered someone to call Elder Bai Mo and he'll be here soon. I hope Sect Master Fu won't be angry during this period of time." Sect Master Qin said.
"Alright then," Fu Yang said solemnly.
After a slight pause, he continued, "Also, before Elder Bai Mo took Lv Gongyi and the others away, Linlong was the one who led us away. Therefore, I suspect that Elder Bai Mo colluded with Linlong. As for whether it has anything to do with your Scarlet Phoenix Sect, I don't know."
"What?" Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Sect Master Qin.
Sect Master Qin's frown deepened as she said, "Everyone, calm down. When Elder Bai Mo arrives, everything will come to light."
"Sect Master Fu, did you lose Linlong?" At this moment, someone asked.
Hearing his words, everyone's attention shifted to Fu Yang.
Fu Yang had brought so many people with him and yet he lost Linlong. In their opinion, this shouldn't have happened. After all, Fu Yang was a Class 4 beast warrior.
"That kid's strength has already reached the peak of Class 3 beast warrior and he has the Bloodline Sword. Not only that, he's also cunning. He lured me into a dense forest with Class 4 beasts and escaped while he was familiar with the forest," Fu Yang said with an ugly expression.
"What? That kid's strength has already reached the peak of Class 3 beast warrior?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Apart from Qian Mu and Bai Mo, those who knew of Linlong's strength were basically all dead. Therefore, how would they know that Linlong had such strength?
"That's right." Fu Yang nodded.
"That kid's strength has actually reached such a realm. He's really a hidden danger for us!" Someone couldn't help but feel worried.
"Then, should we continue to chase after him?" Someone asked again.
"About this, let's wait for Elder Bai Mo to arrive first." Fu Yang said.
Following that, the group of people waited for Elder Bai Mo to arrive. However, Elder Bai Mo didn't arrive, but Elder Qian Mu.
"Elder Qian Mu, you're finally here. Did you find any traces of that kid?" Seeing Qian Mu's arrival, someone couldn't help but ask.
"No." Qian Mu shook his head.
Since he came with Elder Fei's words, he naturally wouldn't tell the truth to these people.
Hearing Qian Mu's words, these people were naturally disappointed.
Qian Mu came to Ma Wangshan's side and said in a low voice, "Sect Master, I have something to tell you."
Seeing Qian Mu's mysterious expression, Ma Wangshan followed Qian Mu to a secluded area.
"Grand Elder, what's the matter?" Ma Wangshan asked, puzzled.
"It's like this …" Qian Mu immediately recounted his encounter with Lin Long, as well as Lin Long's encounter with Elder Fei.
Although Qian Mu already knew that Lin Long was at the pinnacle of grade 3, he was extremely shocked when he heard that Lin Long killed Fourth Elder Peng Kaicheng and captured Qian Mu alive.
However, what shocked him the most was Elder Fei's words about Lin Long.
Of course, during this process, Qian Mu also mentioned that Elder Bai Mo had sided with Lin Long.
After hearing Qian Mu's words, Ma Wangshan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Although Elder Fei's status wasn't ordinary, he was still the Sect Master of the Dan Yang Sect. Therefore, it was still up to him, the Sect Master, to deal with Lin Long.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Alright, I accept Elder Fei's suggestion."
Hearing Ma Wangshan's words, Qian Mu inexplicably felt relieved. He was truly worried that Ma Wangshan would still deal with Lin Long.
If that was the case, he might be captured by Lin Long again. At that time, he probably wouldn't be as lucky as he was this time.
After making this decision, Ma Wangshan immediately returned to the previous place and said to the other two Sect Masters, "Sect Master Qin, Sect Master Fu, my Dan Yang Sect has some matters to attend to. Therefore, we won't be joining you to deal with Lin Long."
"Sect Master Ma, what do you mean?" After hearing Ma Wangshan's words, everyone present was extremely shocked.
Some even suspected that Ma Wangshan's men had secretly captured Lin Long.
Of course, none of them dared to say such a thing.
At this moment, Ma Wangshan sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, our Dan Yang Sect's Fourth Elder Peng Kaicheng has already died at Lin Long's hands. In order to prevent something similar from happening again, I have chosen to withdraw."
"What? Elder Peng died at that kid's hands?" After hearing Ma Wangshan's words, everyone present was once again shocked.
"In that case, we won't make things difficult for Sect Master Ma." Fu Yang and Sect Master Qin immediately said.
"Then everyone, our Dan Yang Sect will take our leave!" Ma Wangshan cupped his hands and said.
After saying that, he left with the Dan Yang Sect members and returned to the Dan Yang Sect.
"Sect Master Fu, are we still waiting for Elder Bai Mo?" Sect Master Qin looked at Fu Yang and asked.
"Naturally." Fu Yang said coldly.
The group continued to wait, but Elder Bai Mo had already left. How could they wait?
Sect Master Qin's expression turned even uglier when he saw that Elder Bai Mo was nowhere to be seen. He suspected that something had happened to Elder Bai Mo.
"Sect Master Fu, something might have happened to Elder Bai Mo. I plan to make a trip back to our Scarlet Phoenix Sect." Sect Master Qin said to Fu Yang.
Although he suspected that Elder Bai Mo and even the Scarlet Phoenix Sect was colluding with Lin Long, Fu Yang ultimately did not stop them. Instead, he said coldly, "Alright."
"Then Sect Master Fu, our Scarlet Phoenix Sect will take our leave!" After saying that, Sect Master Qin led the Scarlet Phoenix Sect members back to the Scarlet Phoenix Sect.
Once they left, someone beside Fu Yang immediately said, "Sect Master, the Dan Yang Sect suddenly left and Elder Bai Mo still hasn't returned. There might be something fishy going on!"
"It's possible that the Dan Yang Sect has already caught Lin Long."
"It's also possible that the Scarlet Phoenix Sect is in cahoots with Lin Long."
For a moment, the people from the Heavenly Silkworm Sect started discussing.
"Alright, everyone, listen to me." After a while, Fu Yang said loudly.
Hearing his words, everyone's gazes focused on him.
"Both the Dan Yang Sect and the Crimson Phoenix Sect are worthy of suspicion, especially the Crimson Phoenix Sect. However, it would be disadvantageous for us if we were to kill our way to their doorstep. Hence, all of you must carefully investigate the information and find out what exactly is going on. Once we find out, we will wait for an opportunity to act," Fu Yang said.
"Sect Master, are we still going to search for Lin Long?" Someone asked.
"There's no need. That kid is strong. Without the help of the other two sects, we'll be at a disadvantage. We'll take action after we find out what's going on." Fu Yang said.
After that, he left with the people from the Heavenly Silkworm Sect.
At this time, Lin Long had already met Elder Bai Mo, Lv Gongyi, and the others. Then, he brought them to the Northern Chill Mountain Range.
A few days later, they arrived at the outskirts of the Northern Chill City, which was very close to the Northern Chill Mountain Range.
