At this moment, apart from Qinglian, everyone else started to worry for Linlong.
The reason was simple. There was only one Linlong, while the other party had several. Furthermore, the energy fluctuations coming from the other party's body were very powerful, while Linlong's body didn't have any energy fluctuations at all.
Just when they thought that Linlong would be injured or killed by the other party, Linlong casually swept out with his palm.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next moment, a series of muffled sounds rang out, and the people surrounding Linlong were all sent flying. Moreover, when they landed on the ground, it was clear that they had suffered heavy injuries.
"You're a grade four beast cultivator!" Sensing the energy released by Linlong, the youth's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Then, he turned around and fled. However, how could Linlong let him leave?
With a flash, Linlong appeared in front of the youth and swept out with his palm, sending the youth flying seven to eight meters away.
When the youth was about to stand up, Linlong had already arrived beside him.
Knowing that he wasn't Linlong's opponent, the youth quickly begged for mercy. "Brother, please be magnanimous and let me go!"
"Let you go? Do you think that's possible? "Linlong said calmly.
"If you let me go, my Watercloud Sect will definitely treat you as an esteemed guest. In the future, when you come to the Watercloud Sect, I will personally accompany you. Whatever you want, as long as it's within my means, I will give it to you!"
The Watercloud Sect was clearly afraid of the Azure Jade Sect, so Linlong naturally didn't put them in his eyes. However, after hearing the youth's words, he still asked, "What is your status in the Watercloud Sect?"
"I am the son of the Watercloud Sect's Sect Master, the only son!" A smug expression appeared on the youth's face.
Although the Watercloud Sect was small, it was still a sect. Furthermore, he was the Sect Master's only son, so it was only natural for him to be proud.
Seeing that the youth clearly didn't learn his lesson, Linlong couldn't help but raise his hand, immediately scaring the youth to the point that he pissed his pants. He quickly knelt down and begged, "Brother, please be magnanimous!"
Linlong ignored him. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the old man not far away.
"Brother, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I was too impolite." The middle-aged man who had already stood up hurriedly said.
If not for Lin Long, his family would have been massacred. Although Lin Long had promised that he wouldn't do anything to them after the old man handed over the secret manual, there was no way he would believe him.
He knew that even if the other party obtained the secret manual, he would not let his family go. However, in that kind of situation just now, handing over the secret manual would give them a way out, so he did not object.
Lin Long did not say anything. Instead, he continued to look at the old man.
"Are you really from the Green Jade Sect?" The elder finally spoke.
"Yes, I am from the Green Jade Sect. I am Great Elder Guo Ziqiang's disciple, Green Lotus!" Green Lotus said.
The old man's body clearly trembled when he heard Qing Lian's words. After which, he looked at Qing Lian and asked. "Are you really his disciple?"
"That's right." Qing Lian nodded. As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and took out a badge from her body. On one side of the badge were the words "Green Jade Sect" and on the other side were the words "Ziqiang".
The words "Green Jade Sect" indicated that Qing Lian was a member of the Green Jade Sect, while the words "Ziqiang" indicated that she was Great Elder Guo Ziqiang's disciple. Seeing this badge, how could the old man not believe Qing Lian's identity.
"I never thought that I, Jiang Zhixing, would be able to see my own junior in my lifetime. Moreover, it's such a beautiful junior." The old man could not help but say. As he spoke, his eyes glistened with tears.
"Are you senior Jiang Zhixing?" Qing Lian could not help but ask in joy.
"That's right. I am your senior Jiang Zhixing." The old man nodded and said.
"That's great. Senior, I finally meet you!" Qing Lian was overjoyed.
After a moment of joy, she asked doubtfully, "However, senior, why do you look like this?"
"This … It's a long story." Jiang Zhixing sighed. However, he did not continue speaking. Instead, he asked, "Why did you come to find me? Could it be that something happened in the sect? "
"Something big happened in the sect. Master was killed by someone. They framed this big brother Lin as the murderer. With no other choice, we could only escape the sect. Master said that if I had any problems, I could come and find you. That's why I came." Qing Lian said.
"Master was actually killed by someone. Who did it?" Hearing Qing Lian's words, Jiang Zhixing said with a face of shock.
"It's someone whose strength is far stronger than Qing Lian. Even big brother Lin was not their match. That's why we could only escape the Green Jade Sect." Qing Lian said with a dejected face.
"Is that so." As he spoke, Jiang Zhixing sighed again. "It's a pity that I can't help you."
"Right now, I don't hope that senior can go and deal with those enemies. I only hope that senior can take our family in and let us temporarily hide from them." Qing Lian said.
"Senior can't even protect yourself right now." Jiang Zhixing sighed. Then, he looked at the youth and said, "I don't know how the Watercloud Sect found out that I'm from the Green Jade Sect. They also know that I have books on runes, so they came looking for me. This secret manual was originally given to me by master. Naturally, I did not want to give it to them. But today, they forced me to hand it over."
"This Watercloud Sect doesn't seem to be much." Qing Lian said.
"His son's strength is indeed nothing much to Brother Lin. However, his father, the Sect Master of the Watercloud Sect, is not weak. I heard that he has the strength of a mid-stage class 4 beast. He won't be easy to deal with." Jiang Zhixing said.
"That's right. My father is a mid-stage class 4 beast!" Hearing Jiang Zhixing's words, the youth immediately interrupted.
Originally, he had a proud expression on his face. However, when he saw Lin Long at the side, he quickly retracted his expression.
"A mid-stage class 4 beast is actually so afraid of the Green Jade Sect. He must not be someone powerful." Lin Long said indifferently.
"The Green Jade Sect has existed for god knows how many centuries. Our Watercloud Sect has only been established recently. How can we be compared to them?" The youth could not help but say.
"Is he really a mid-stage class 4 beast?" Lin Long immediately looked at the youth.
When he saw Lin Long looking at him, the youth's gaze was obviously evasive.
Seeing this, Lin Long could not help but feel that the youth's strength was exaggerated. His expression darkened, and he immediately placed a restriction on the youth's body.
As soon as the restriction was activated, the youth rolled on the ground in pain. After a while, he began to beg for mercy.
This youth was truly powerful. He actually had such a method. This scene caused the surrounding people to exclaim inwardly.
Only then did Lin Long remove the restriction. Then, he said coldly, "Tell me honestly. What realm has your father reached?"
"My father is currently a third stage class 4 beast. There's still a gap between him and a mid-stage class 4 beast," the youth said honestly.
Hearing the youth's words, Lin Long naturally did not place the Watercloud Sect's sect master in his eyes. To be honest, he was not worried even if the other party was a mid-stage class 4 beast.
Lin Long immediately said to Jiang Zhixing, "Elder Jiang, don't worry. Leave the Watercloud Sect with me. I guarantee that they won't be a threat to you."
"The Watercloud Sect's sect master actually knows how to set up some runic arrays. There's a high chance that the Watercloud Sect will set up some runic arrays …" Jiang Zhixing was still worried.
After a slight pause, he continued, "It's precisely because he studies runic arrays that he's interested in the secret manual in my hands."
"Is that so? Then I really want to meet him," Lin Long said.
Since the other party was afraid of the Green Jade Sect, the Watercloud Sect's runic arrays must be inferior to the Green Jade Sect's. With Qinglian by his side, Lin Long was naturally not worried that he would be unable to deal with the other party's runic arrays.
"Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. I was afraid that the Watercloud Sect's people would be able to tell that my father is from the Green Jade Sect. That's why I chased you out," the middle-aged man said.
"But isn't the Watercloud Sect weaker than the Green Jade Sect? Why are you still worried that the Green Jade Sect's people won't be a match for them?" Lin Long asked doubtfully.
"It's my fault. I've always told them that the Green Jade Sect is a small sect. They almost never leave this small town, so they don't know that the Green Jade Sect is actually much bigger than the Watercloud Sect," Jiang Zhixing said.
"I see." Lin Long couldn't help but nod his head.
"However, Senior Brother, why did you leave the Green Jade Sect? Why did you end up like this?" Qinglian asked the previous question.
"That's a long story." Jiang Zhixing sighed, then said, "Back then, I committed some crimes in the Green Jade Sect. I didn't have the face to stay there anymore, so I chose to leave. I didn't think that master would never forget that he had a disciple like me …"
"After I left the Green Jade Sect, I came here. Although I've been in contact with master, I never thought of returning to the sect. Unknowingly, a few decades have passed. During this long period of time, I never gave up on my cultivation, nor did I give up on my research in the Study of Runes. It's just that my aptitude is poor, so I haven't made any progress. A few years ago, I even went berserk while cultivating, so I ended up in this situation."
Berserk, huh? No wonder, Lin Long thought.
Lin Long had a feeling that this was a sign, but he didn't expect his guess to be right.
Lin Long didn't have any good advice on cultivation berserk in this world, so he didn't say anything.
"It's because they know that I've gone berserk and cut off my relationship with the Green Jade Sect that the Watercloud Sect dares to come knocking on my door," Jiang Zhixing said.
"If that's the case, I'll bring this person to the Watercloud Sect," Lin Long said.
"Brother Lin, you shouldn't take such a risk for our family," Jiang Zhixing couldn't help but say.
"I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for Qinglian," Lin Long said to Qinglian.
"Big Brother Lin, you shouldn't take such a risk for me either," Qinglian hurriedly said.
"You're wrong again. I'm doing this for myself, because you're closely related to the rune imprint on my body …" Lin Long said.
How is this related to the rune imprint on your body? Before Qinglian could figure it out, Lin Long looked at the youth and asked, "What's your name?"
"I'm Tan Mao," the youth answered honestly.
"Apart from your father, who else in the Watercloud Sect is a fourth grade beastmaster?" Lin Long asked again.
"There's also an elder who's an early-stage fourth grade beastmaster," Tan Mao said.
"Both of them are in your Watercloud Sect right now?"
"Both of them are in the Watercloud Sect."
"Alright, then bring us to your Watercloud Sect now," Lin Long said immediately.
"Isn't it a little dangerous to charge over like this? After all, they have two fourth grade beastmasters!" Jiang Zhixing couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, I naturally won't fight them head-on," Lin Long said with a faint smile.
He then looked at Qinglian and said, "Qinglian, come with me."
"Okay." Qinglian immediately nodded.
Lin Long called Qinglian over because he needed her to deal with the rune array. As for the others, due to their low strength, it would be useless to call them over. Instead, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so Lin Long naturally wouldn't call them over.
After that, Lin Long let Tan Mao lead the way, while he and Qinglian followed behind the other party.
The Watercloud Sect wasn't too far away. After passing through two mountains, they could see the Watercloud Sect not too far away.
The Watercloud Sect was built on a mountain peak that wasn't too tall. According to Zhang Mao, although the Watercloud Sect had over two hundred disciples, their strength was like heaven and earth compared to the Azure Jade Sect. The only difference was their numbers.
"Tan Mao, do you have any way to get the other elder to come out of the Watercloud Sect to meet you?" Lin Long asked.
The reason why he did so was naturally because he wanted to deal with this person first.
Of course, if not for the rune array, Lin Long would have directly killed his way through the sect.
"About that, I'll get a Watercloud Sect disciple to pass a message to me. Just get that elder to come out," Tan Mao said.
After suffering under Lin Long's restrictions, Qinglian was very obedient.
After that, Lin Long brought him closer to the Watercloud Sect. Not long after, they saw a Watercloud Sect disciple passing by.
Lin Long immediately asked Tan Mao to call that disciple over, while he and Qinglian hid behind a tree nearby.
"Young Sect Master, why are you here?" Seeing Tan Mao standing there by himself, the Watercloud Sect disciple was naturally very puzzled.
Tan Mao didn't answer him, and instead asked, "Is Elder Du inside the sect?"
"Elder Du is inside the sect. I saw him when I came out just now," the disciple immediately answered.
"Good. Then tell him to come here and find me," Tan Mao said.
"What is it?" the disciple asked.
"You don't need to know what it is. In any case, it's very important. Tell Elder Du to come here immediately!" Tan Mao said coldly.
The disciple didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately left the place.
Lin Long and the others waited here. Although this place was close to the Watercloud Sect, Lin Long wasn't worried that the upcoming fight would attract the attention of the Watercloud Sect Master.
After all, that elder wasn't very strong. Lin Long believed that he could take him down in a short period of time without causing too much of a commotion.
