"Is that so?!" Zhang Chaoran sneered, then his hand that was holding the sword suddenly moved. In the next moment, the sword in his hand immediately slashed towards Liu Qiangyi.
"Ah …"
With a scream, Liu Qiangyi's left arm was cut off from the shoulder.
Liu Qiangyi fell to the ground in pain.
"Zhang Chaoran, you …" Liu Qiangyi looked at Zhang Chaoran in horror.
He didn't expect Zhang Chaoran to be so ruthless.
"Cut the crap. I'm asking you now, who made you do that? If you don't answer, I don't mind cutting off your other arm!" Zhang Chaoran said coldly.
With that, he swung his sword again, but this time, he didn't swing it at Liu Qiangyi. Instead, Liu Qiangyi quickly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"Okay, I'm listening," Zhang Chaoran said.
"Lin Li asked me to do that," Liu Qiangyi said.
"Huh? Why did he ask you to do that? "Zhang Chaoran was puzzled.
He didn't think that Lin Long was here for He Yudan, because no one else knew that he wanted to use He Yudan to deal with Lin Long.
How could he know that Liu Qiangyi was there when he cheated He Yudan?
"Because he wanted to save He Yudan. He knew that you cheated He Yudan," Liu Qiangyi said.
"He's just spouting nonsense." Zhang Chaoran couldn't help glaring at Liu Qiangyi.
Seeing him like this, Liu Qiangyi didn't dare to say anything else.
Then, Zhang Chaoran asked, "Since he asked you to do it, he should be nearby. Tell me, where is he now?"
"I …" Liu Qiangyi hesitated.
"You what? Seems like you don't want your other arm? "Seeing Liu Qiangyi's hesitation, Zhang Chaoran raised his sword again.
Liu Qiangyi was so frightened that he quickly pointed in the direction where Lin Long should be. "He's over there!"
"Is that so?" Zhang Chaoran immediately looked in the direction Liu Qiangyi pointed, and shouted, "Junior Brother Lin, come out."
But what made his face turn ugly was that there was no response from that direction. It was as if Lin Long wasn't there.
"Brother Lin, quickly come out. If you don't come out, I'll kill him!" Zhang Chaoran said in a cold voice. He pointed the sword in his hand towards Liu Qiangyi.
"D-Don't kill me!" Liu Qiangyi said in horror.
Zhang Chaoran completely ignored him. Seeing that there was no response from his surroundings, he suddenly slashed the sword in his hand towards Liu Qiangyi again.
"Ah …"
Liu Qiangyi let out another miserable shriek, and this time, his other arm had been chopped off at the shoulder by Zhang Chaoran.
This time, he fainted.
Unexpectedly, after this slash, the surroundings were still quiet. At this time, the beasts had already been killed, and the people following Zhang Chaoran cautiously looked around.
"Junior Brother Lin, I know you're nearby. If you really don't come out, I'll really kill this Liu Qiangyi!" Zhang Chaoran said with a frown.
This time, there was still no sound. In the next moment, the longsword in Zhang Chaoran's hand moved again. However, just as he was about to kill Liu Qiangyi, a voice suddenly sounded around him.
"Wait!" It was a woman's voice.
He Yudan was the only woman at the scene, so the voice was naturally from He Yudan.
"Miss He, what's the matter?" Zhang Chaoran put down the longsword in his hand and looked at He Yudan on his right.
"Is what Liu Qiangyi said true? Senior Brother Zhang, you deliberately tricked me into coming here?" He Yudan frowned slightly.
Hearing He Yudan's question, a strange expression immediately appeared on Zhang Chaoran's face. He smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, I'll tell you the truth. That's right, I did indeed trick you into coming here. After I killed the two people from the Yang family, no experts rushed over. The reason why I said that was because I didn't want you to leave the secret realm."
"Why did you do that?" He Yudan gritted her teeth and asked.
"It's very simple. I wanted to use you to threaten Linlong and make him hand over the things he had previously obtained!" Zhang Chaoran said indifferently.
This was his goal. Now that Linlong had come knocking on his door, he wasn't worried that his goal would be discovered by He Yudan.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person!" He Yudan couldn't help but say angrily.
"You can scold me all you want. I've always been this kind of person," Zhang Chaoran said nonchalantly.
Then, he looked around and said, "Lin Li, hurry up and come out. If you don't, I can only make a move on your beloved He Yudan."
At this moment, He Yudan suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Catch her!" Zhang Chaoran immediately ordered.
He Yudan was used to deal with Linlong. If He Yudan was allowed to escape, he wouldn't be able to threaten Linlong.
Hearing his words, the two people closest to He Yudan immediately chased after He Yudan.
They quickly caught up to He Yudan. However, just as they were about to grab her, she suddenly fell from the sky.
"Oh no, there's a deep pit!"
Seeing this situation, the two people chasing He Yudan immediately stopped in their tracks.
Looking ahead, they could clearly see that the place where He Yudan fell was obviously a bottomless pit.
Fortunately, the two of them were slow. Otherwise, they would have fallen together with He Yudan.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Chaoran hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
As he asked, he rushed over. Soon, he arrived at the edge of the deep pit. Looking at the bottomless pit, his brows furrowed even more.
He didn't expect there to be a deep pit here, and He Yudan, whom he wanted to use to threaten Linlong, actually fell in just like that.
Or perhaps He Yudan had already discovered there was a deep pit here, so she purposely came over? Immediately after, such a thought appeared in his mind.
However, such a thought flashed past his mind. After all, He Yudan had already fallen in, and there was no point in thinking about why she did that.
Then, as if he thought of something, he looked around and shouted, "Lin Li, He Yudan has already fallen in. Why aren't you coming over to save her?"
What he didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the deep pit on the left.
Who else could it be other than Linlong, whom he dreamed of catching?
"Catch him!" Zhang Chaoran immediately shouted.
Then, the few of them rushed towards Linlong at the same time.
What they didn't expect was that as soon as they moved, Linlong jumped into the deep pit.
Seeing Linlong's actions, Zhang Chaoran and the others couldn't help but be stunned, "This fella is willing to risk his life to save He Yudan?"
At that moment, all of them looked down into the deep pit. They could only see about a hundred feet deep, and they couldn't see any deeper. This was because the fog at the bottom was obviously thicker than above, and they couldn't see the situation at all.
"The fog below is so thick, and the toxicity must be many times stronger than the fog above. That fella will definitely die if he jumps in like that!" Someone couldn't help but say.
The fog above was indeed poisonous, and because of that, each of them had to consume an antidote to avoid being harmed by the fog.
Now that they saw that the fog below was so thick, they naturally felt that Linlong wouldn't be able to resist the poison of the fog.
Although Zhang Chaoran thought so too, he still cautiously ordered, "Everyone, stand guard around the deep pit. Once you see Lin Li appear, you must immediately attack him!"
Hearing this, the few of them immediately scattered around the deep pit. Once Linlong appeared, they would definitely attack him head-on.
Looking at the deep pit that was surrounded by fog, Zhang Chaoran muttered, "Lin Li, I hope you're lucky enough to come out of the deep pit!"
The reason why he thought so was naturally because he was still thinking about the treasures on Linlong.
However, after waiting for a full hour, there was still no movement from below.
At this moment, someone couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Zhang, that fella Lin Li has most likely died down there. We don't have to stand guard here anymore."
"I also think that Lin Li has already fallen," the others chimed in.
Staying here would simply hinder them from searching for other places of opportunity. Hence, they naturally wanted to leave.
"Wait for a while more," Zhang Chaoran said with a frown.
Hearing this, the others could only wait obediently. However, after a while, they still didn't see Linlong coming up.
It seemed that something had happened to that fella, Zhang Chaoran thought to himself.
In his opinion, even if Linlong stayed on the stone that was spat out, he would definitely be poisoned by the poisonous fog.
Immediately, he said, "Alright, everyone, let's go. We don't have to wait for that fella anymore."
Just like that, the few of them quickly left the place.
What they didn't know was that at this moment, Linlong was still jumping down the deep pit wall. Although the poisonous fog below was indeed getting stronger and stronger as Zhang Chaoran had guessed, the poisonous fog did not affect him much because he had taken his own antidote and had a strong body technique.
The further down he went, the uglier Linlong's expression became. This was because the deep pit was really like a bottomless abyss.
Although he knew that even if He Yudan was still alive, she would probably be poisoned to death by the poisonous fog, Linlong still continued to go down.
After walking for a while, he furrowed his brows because the fog in front of him suddenly turned pink.
The change in color was a small matter, but he actually felt a wave of dizziness after inhaling the fog. It seemed like the antidote in his body had no effect on the poisonous fog.
The further down he went, the more severe the dizziness became. He knew that if this continued, he would not be able to stay in the poisonous fog for long. He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, but even so, he still could not get rid of the dizziness.
If it wasn't for his powerful spiritual force, he probably would not have been able to last until now.
I can't do anything about this pink fog at all. I can only leave. This helpless thought emerged in Linlong's mind.
At that moment, he could only walk back. Soon, he walked out of the pink fog, and the dizziness quickly disappeared.
Looking at the fog below, Linlong could not help but sigh. "Miss He, forgive me for my incompetence, but I can't save you."
He could tell that He Yudan must have discovered the existence of the deep pit before running towards it with such determination. In other words, in order to not be used by Zhang Chaoran, He Yudan chose to sacrifice herself.
With a sigh, Linlong continued to walk upwards.
'Zhang Chaoran, I'll definitely not let you off!' Linlong thought to himself as he walked up.
Soon, he arrived near the edge of the deep pit. Fearing that Zhang Chaoran and the rest were guarding the edge, he did not rush up directly. Instead, he remained in the fog.
After checking carefully to make sure that there was no one above, he came out of the deep pit.
He glanced down at Lin Long and then left.
Naturally, he prayed that He Yudan would be lucky enough to escape, but he knew that the possibility was very small and almost impossible.
After taking a few deep breaths, Linlong released the bamboo rat and continued to move forward. In order to deal with Zhang Chaoran and the rest, he had to become more powerful.
Although Zhang Chaoran seemed to be at the peak of level-3, judging from the situation just now, Zhang Chaoran was not as easy to deal with as ordinary level-3 beasts.
Zhang Chaoran was difficult to deal with, let alone other level-4 beasts.
Although the front was still covered in fog, Linlong, who continued to move forward, soon found two opportunities with the help of the bamboo rat.
To his delight, he actually found a map fragment that was related to the three jade pendants in one of the fortuitous encounters.
In this way, he had two such map fragments, but it was obvious that he could not find the opportunities with the three jade pendants with just these two pieces.
After obtaining the map fragment, he continued to move forward. All of a sudden, the bamboo rat sent him another message. To his delight, the bamboo rat actually found the White Moon Fruit this time.
The reason why the bamboo rat could find the White Moon Fruit was naturally because he let it smell the White Moon Fruit that had left his hand and been swallowed by the fox.
After confirming the direction of the White Moon Fruit, Linlong immediately headed in that direction.
Fortunately, he let the bamboo rat smell it before, or else he would not have been able to discover the existence of the White Moon Fruit in this direction. Linlong was glad as he walked.
Not long after, he arrived at the place where the bamboo rat sensed.
There was still fog in front of him, and the fog was thicker than where he came from before.
If it were not for the bamboo rat, even with such a difference, Linlong most likely would not have known that there was a White Moon Fruit here.
According to the bamboo rat's senses, it was right in front of him, but he did not know if it would still be a lone peak like before. Linlong, who was thinking about this, continued to explore forward.
In the fog, the appearance of deep pits was always very abrupt and without any warning, so even though he had a powerful Divine Will, he dared not let his guard down.
After taking a few more steps forward, he immediately stopped because he found that there was a bottomless pit under his feet.
The location where the bamboo rat sensed the White Moon Fruit was right in front of him, which meant that there was still a lone peak ahead! Linlong judged in his heart.
After determining that there was a lone peak, he naturally began to determine if there was an iron chain bridge because without such an iron chain bridge, the possibility of him going over was almost zero.
