What depressed Linlong the most was that these people had obviously killed the beasts guarding the Dark Blood Tree and obtained the fruits on the tree.
These people were from the Li family, and the one leading them was the eldest young master of the Li family, Li Qianjing.
After taking a few more glances, Linlong realized that Zhang Chaoran was among them too.
All of a sudden, he noticed a familiar figure following closely behind Zhang Chaoran.
'Isn't that He Yudan?' The thought immediately popped up in his mind when he saw the figure.
'But didn't He Yudan already leave the secret realm?' Linlong was instantly puzzled.
In order to confirm if it was He Yudan, he stayed for a while. When he saw the person's face, he immediately confirmed that it was He Yudan even though her face was painted very messily.
'It seems like Miss He did it on purpose. Why didn't she leave? Did she encounter an accident on her way to the land of opportunity?
Was she forced by Zhang Chaoran? '
However, after taking a closer look, Linlong felt that something was wrong because He Yudan did not seem to be forced by Zhang Chaoran at all.
'Looks like I can only find out by asking her personally,' Linlong thought to himself.
He was naturally worried about He Yudan being with Zhang Chaoran, but he could not go up and ask them about it at the moment because Li Qianjing, a level-4 beast, was present. Together with the other beasts, he was no match for them at all.
Although Linlong was Li Qianjing's subordinate in name, he could not guarantee that these people would not attack him if he showed himself in front of them now.
Even if they did not attack him, Li Qianjing would most likely force him to hand over something like the White Moon Fruit.
Although he did not show his true face at the isolated peak, the various signs did not stop these people from suspecting him.
Therefore, Linlong naturally would not go over just like that.
Because of this, Linlong could only give up on asking He Yudan.
It was also at this moment that the bamboo rat, which was placed aside, reacted again. It told him that there was a Dark Blood Fruit in another direction.
Linlong was a little surprised that there was another Dark Blood Fruit so close to him.
'Miss He will not be in any danger for the time being if I follow Zhang Chaoran and the others. I'll go over there to take a look first.' With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately headed in the direction of the other Dark Blood Fruit.
After walking for about 10 minutes, Linlong furrowed his brows because the bamboo rat could no longer sense the existence of the Dark Blood Fruit.
Could it be that the Dark Blood Fruit had already been snatched away by someone? At the thought of this, Linlong could not help but worry.
He sped up and headed in that direction. Soon, he saw a few people. These people were also from the Li family, and the one leading them was Liu Qiangyi, whom he was familiar with.
Could it be that Liu Qiangyi and the others had obtained the Dark Blood Fruit? Linlong thought to himself.
It was no wonder he thought so. Liu Qiangyi and the rest were near the place where the Dark Blood Fruit had emitted its scent.
Linlong got the bamboo rat to sense the surroundings. After confirming that the Dark Blood Fruit was not found, he thought of dealing with Liu Qiangyi and the others.
There were a total of five people in Liu Qiangyi's group, and the strongest among them was only a Class 8 Lv 3 beastmaster. Linlong naturally didn't care about them.
At that moment, he suddenly heard one of them say, "Senior Brother Liu, we're really lucky this time. We actually obtained something like the Dark Blood Fruit."
"It's just a Dark Blood Fruit, and you're already so happy. You should know that this is only the fourth level. There are more things inside," Liu Qiangyi said proudly.
Upon hearing his words, the eyes of the four people around him lit up even more as if they had already obtained the treasures.
As expected, the Dark Blood Fruit was with them. Linlong could not help but think to himself after hearing their words.
After confirming this, he was naturally relieved and slowly approached those people. He originally wanted to deal with Liu Qiangyi and the others, and now that he knew that they had the Dark Blood Fruit, he would not let them go.
After arriving near those people, he stopped and hid behind a big tree. Although he could rush over and deal with those people, it would be troublesome to deal with them head-on. It would be troublesome if there were other experts around and they were attracted over.
Therefore, Linlong naturally would not deal with them head-on.
After stopping, he deliberately made some noise.
"Hmm? There's a sound in that direction?" Upon hearing the noise, Liu Qiangyi and the others immediately shifted their gazes in Linlong's direction.
When they turned around to listen carefully, they could not hear anything. Liu Qiangyi frowned and said, "Lu Er, Cao Rong, the two of you go over and take a look."
"Yes!"
The two men, Lu Er and Cao Rong, immediately walked over to Linlong.
As they could not sense the aura of any ferocious beasts or beastmen, they were not worried at all.
However, they still walked up to the big tree where Linlong was hiding.
After arriving here, they stopped and looked behind the tree. After confirming that they could not think of anything, they turned to Liu Qiangyi and the others. "There's nothing here."
Could it be that there was no sound at all? This thought flashed across the minds of Liu Qiangyi and the others.
It was also at this moment that Linlong made his move. He, who was already holding a longsword in his hand, directly attacked the two people in front of him.
By the time the two people realized that something was wrong and turned around, it was already too late. The sword aura released by Linlong had already killed them.
"Who?" Seeing this situation, Liu Qiangyi and the others couldn't help but be alarmed.
After taking a closer look, they realized that the person who killed the two people was none other than Linlong, whom they had been searching for all this time.
"Go up and surround him!" After confirming that it was Linlong, Liu Qiangyi, who was initially a little afraid, immediately ordered.
The reason why he dared to do so was naturally because he felt that Linlong was not that strong.
Although the Yang Family said that Linlong was at the peak of Class 3, Liu Qiangyi, who had only met Linlong once, couldn't feel how strong he was. Therefore, he believed that the three of them could deal with Linlong.
As for the fact that Linlong was able to kill the two people, in his opinion, it was entirely because of Linlong's sneak attack.
Just like that, Liu Qiangyi and the others quickly rushed in front of Linlong and surrounded him.
As soon as they surrounded him, Liu Qiangyi said coldly, "Brat, you are really bold. You actually dared to kill our own people from the Li family!"
"Today, we will help the Li family get rid of you, you scourge!" The other two people shouted.
"You can't do it with just the three of you." Linlong smiled indifferently.
"Can't do it? How strong do you think you are? "Liu Qiangyi sneered.
"You will know how strong I am when you see it." After saying that, Linlong directly activated his Celestial Wolf Cat's innate ability.
"This is the Celestial Wolf Cat's innate ability!" Seeing the black shadow behind Linlong, Liu Qiangyi and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.
From the Li family, they knew that Linlong had the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox's innate ability, but they didn't know that Linlong had the Celestial Wolf Cat's innate ability.
At that moment, Liu Qiangyi and the others hurriedly activated their Beast's innate ability.
After activating their Beast's innate ability, they immediately attacked Linlong together.
As for Linlong, he immediately countered with his sword.
Just like that, the four of them fought intensely. After a few moves, only two screams could be heard. The two people beside Liu Qiangyi were directly knocked to the ground by Linlong.
Although they had the advantage in numbers, their cultivation level was inferior to Linlong's, and their Beast's innate ability was also inferior to Linlong's. Even their martial skills were inferior, so how could they be Linlong's opponent?
With the two people injured, Liu Qiangyi was even less of a match for Linlong. With just one move, Linlong knocked him to the ground.
How could this kid be so strong? Liu Qiangyi, who fell to the ground, was extremely depressed.
Because the strength that Linlong displayed was not something that an ordinary peak third-grade beastmaster could compare to.
Based on the strength that he displayed, perhaps all the third-grade beastmasters in the entire Northern Chill City would not be a match for him. After that, he thought to himself.
"Liu Qiangyi, hand over the Dark Blood Fruit on you!" Linlong came to Liu Qiangyi's side and pointed his sword at him.
Knowing that Linlong had heard their conversation, Liu Qiangyi was unwilling to hand over the Dark Blood Fruit just like that. He immediately said, "I don't have the Dark Blood Fruit."
"You're not going to hand it over?" Linlong smiled indifferently. Then, he suddenly moved the sword in his hand, and in the next moment, a sword light streaked across the top of Liu Qiangyi's head.
Liu Qiangyi only felt a chill on the top of his head, and then a pile of hair fell from his head.
He touched the top of his head, and in an instant, his back was covered in cold sweat. This was because the place where Linlong's sword had slashed across his head was completely bare.
One could imagine that if Linlong's sword had been slightly off, he would have died.
"What, are you going to hand it over or not?" Linlong said indifferently.
"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over," Liu Qiangyi hurriedly said.
At this moment, his voice was extremely shaky, but he did not care so much. Soon, he took out a Dark Blood Fruit.
Seeing that it was really the Dark Blood Fruit, Linlong nodded in satisfaction, and then directly took the Dark Blood Fruit and put it into his runic spatial ring.
After putting away the Dark Blood Fruit, he asked again, "Previously, at the lonely peak, did you intentionally push Miss He down?"
"Indeed, I intentionally pushed her down," Liu Qiangyi said gloomily.
"If that's the case, then you can go and die." With that, Linlong raised the sword in his hand again.
"Wait!" Liu Qiangyi hurriedly said.
"Yes, what else do you have to say?" Linlong asked.
"Lin Li, aren't you very concerned about Miss He? She is in danger now!" Liu Qiangyi said.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Linlong could not help but ask.
He had already felt that it was strange for He Yudan to be together with Zhang Chaoran and the rest. Since Liu Qiangyi said that, he naturally had to clarify things.
"Miss He is now captured by Zhang Chaoran. Zhang Chaoran intends to use her to lure you out. Most importantly, Miss He has yet to realize this," Liu Qiangyi said.
"Is this true? Why do I feel that there is no problem between them?" Linlong frowned.
Upon hearing Linlong's words, Liu Qiangyi could not help but ask, "Have you seen them?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded. "They are nearby."
"That's because Zhang Chaoran lied to Miss He. He said that he would let Miss He leave if he found a place of opportunity. That's why Miss He is so obedient. However, Zhang Chaoran's real purpose is to use her to lure you out. Believe it or not, as long as you appear, Zhang Chaoran will definitely use Miss He to threaten you," Liu Qiangyi said.
"Why should I believe you?" Linlong said coldly.
"I don't have any evidence. I just happened to be nearby when Zhang Chaoran saved Miss He, and I heard what Zhang Chaoran said to Miss He," Liu Qiangyi said.
"Oh, what exactly happened at that time? Tell me," Linlong said.
Liu Qiangyi immediately told Linlong everything that happened. He happened to be nearby when Zhang Chaoran killed the two men from the Yang Family.
At first, he really thought that Zhang Chaoran wanted to save He Yudan. However, he later realized that Zhang Chaoran was simply lying to He Yudan because there were no powerhouses there at that time.
After listening to Liu Qiangyi's words and analyzing it in detail, Linlong confirmed that Liu Qiangyi was not lying. Zhang Chaoran had really lied to He Yudan and was using her to deal with him.
"How many of you think that I was the one who stole the White Moon Fruit from Lonely Peak?" Linlong then asked.
"What? That person was really you?" Liu Qiangyi could not help but be surprised when he heard Linlong's words.
He was not the only one who was surprised. The two people beside him were also surprised.
They did not think that the person was Linlong. After all, they had seen Linlong before. They did not think that Linlong had the strength to steal the White Moon Fruit in front of so many powerhouses.
"That's right. That person was me." Linlong nodded.
"Then … You are too amazing." Liu Qiangyi sighed from the bottom of his heart.
After a slight pause, he said, "Actually, because I have seen you before, I do not think that person was you. Similarly, Second Young Master does not think that person was you. However, there are still some people who think that person was you."
"Is that so." Linlong nodded. He already knew that it would be like this, so he was not surprised. He was just casually asking such a question.
As for Zhang Chaoran, he felt that Zhang Chaoran definitely knew that the person who stole the White Moon Fruit was him. Since Zhang Chaoran had already tricked He Yudan, he would definitely get the truth out of her.
And if Zhang Chaoran knew, then Eldest Young Master Li Qianjing should also know.
"Junior Brother Lin, I can bring you to Zhang Chaoran and the others now," Liu Qiangyi said.
The reason why he said this was naturally because he was worried that Linlong would make a move on him. If Linlong really brought him there, at least he would not die so quickly.
"Have you forgotten what I said earlier? I said that I have seen them before and know that they are nearby," Linlong said indifferently.
Hearing Linlong's words, Liu Qiangyi broke out in a cold sweat again. Only now did he remember what Linlong had said.
Linlong originally wanted to kill Liu Qiangyi directly, but after hearing Liu Qiangyi's words, he began to consider whether he should make use of Liu Qiangyi to see if he could save He Yudan.
Seeing that Linlong was clearly thinking, Liu Qiangyi heaved a sigh of relief.
He immediately looked at Linlong uneasily.
