Lin Long carefully looked at the sword technique fragments that he had obtained at the end. He realized that they could form the second sword technique, but they were still lacking some content. In other words, he still had to find suitable sword technique fragments to make up for it.
After confirming this, Lin Long continued to explore the ancient ruins.
Unknowingly, an hour had passed.
At this time, Meng Yun met Ma Tiancheng.
"Tiancheng, I finally met you." Meng Yun sighed when he saw Ma Tiancheng.
He was surprised to meet Ma Tiancheng only now after being in the secret realm for so long. After all, the secret realm was not very big.
"Yes." Ma Tiancheng nodded and said, "Meng Yun, did you meet Lin Li?"
"A few times," Meng Yun replied.
"A few times? You didn't catch him? "Ma Tiancheng asked.
"I didn't catch him. That fella is too slippery. Not only does he know Iron Striped Steps, but he also seems to be able to activate the strength of the silver level," Meng Yun said awkwardly.
"What? Not only does that fella know Iron Striped Steps, but he can also activate the strength of the silver level? "Ma Tiancheng was shocked.
"It's true. I couldn't catch up with him even after raising my speed to the limit," Meng Yun said.
"Then how can he activate the strength of the silver level? Does he really have the strength of the silver level? "Ma Tiancheng asked again.
"I'm not sure about that, but he really did activate his Silver-tier ability before …" Meng Yun immediately told Lin Long about how he activated his Silver-tier ability in an ancient ruin, killed and injured one person, and escaped in the end.
"If that's the case, there's no need for him to run away if he has the strength of the silver level," Ma Tiancheng said doubtfully.
"I have the same doubts too. That's why I'm not sure if that fella has the strength of the silver level. After all, if he really has the strength of the silver level, there's no need for him to run away as soon as he saw me," Meng Yun said.
"Could it be that he has a Rune Sword that can temporarily activate the strength of the silver level?" Ma Tiancheng said.
"Does our Rune Faculty have such a Rune Sword?" Meng Yun asked.
"No." Ma Tiancheng shook his head and said, "But it might be in this secret realm."
"If that's the case, then that fella probably has such a Rune Sword," Meng Yun said.
"So, don't worry about not being able to deal with him," Ma Tiancheng said.
"However, that brat is too slippery. Moreover, he has already completely grasped the Iron Lined Steps. Even if we discover him, we will not be able to catch up to him." Meng Yun sighed again.
After hearing Meng Yun's words, Ma Tiancheng frowned. If it was really as Meng Yun said, it would be very difficult for him to catch up to his opponent. After all, he only knew the Iron Lined Steps and had not grasped the Silver Steps.
After thinking about it, Ma Tiancheng's eyes lit up because he had thought of a way. He immediately said to Meng Yun, "I have a way to deal with him."
"Oh? Genius, what method do you have?" Meng Yun was overjoyed.
"The reason why that kid is here is definitely because he wants to snatch the incomplete sword skill manual in the black box …" Ma Tiancheng said.
'Isn't that obvious? He's the one who snatched away the incomplete sword skill manual right in front of me,' Meng Yun thought to herself.
Ma Tiancheng continued, "As long as we wait for him in some ancient ruins, we can catch him easily. With our strength, he won't be able to escape even if he has wings!"
"That's a good idea." Meng Yun nodded. Although she was worried, she said, "However, how do we know which ancient ruins he will go to and wait for him in there?"
"As long as we spread the location of some ancient ruins, we will definitely be able to attract him there. At that time, we can just wait for him inside," Ma Tiancheng said.
As he spoke, he took out a stack of rags and pointed at them. "The map on these rags just happens to point to some ancient ruins. As long as we spread these rags, that kid will take the bait."
Meng Yun couldn't help but take the rags. After looking at them seriously, she couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. Then, she said, "Tiancheng, where did you get so many rags with the same map drawn on them?"
"I found them in some ancient ruins. At that time, I thought that each rags would point to an ancient ruins. After picking them up, I realized that they were all pointing to the same ancient ruins. I almost died from anger, but fortunately, they can finally be of use now," Ma Tiancheng said with a smile.
"That's good. No matter how sly Linli is, he won't be able to find any clues." Meng Yun also smiled.
Then, she asked, "Tiancheng, have you gotten the black box in the ancient ruins?"
"Of course. If I didn't get it, why would I take out such a map?" Ma Tiancheng said.
"Then, the next step is to get someone to spread these rags."
As they spoke, the two of them got someone to spread the rags.
After that, the two of them naturally went to the ancient ruins to wait for Linlong to take the bait.
Before Linlong arrived, two people had already entered the ancient ruins with rags in their hands. Before they entered, they were delighted. However, after entering, their expressions changed. Naturally, it was because they discovered Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun, the two Silver rank experts, inside the ruins.
"Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Meng, sorry for disturbing you!" The two of them hurriedly said.
After saying that, they wanted to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun said, "Wait."
"Senior Brothers, is there anything else?" The two of them could only say helplessly.
"Nothing much. It's just that you have to stay inside for a while," Ma Tiancheng said.
"Senior Brothers, what are you doing?" The two of them's expressions became even uglier. They thought that Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun were going to rob them of their belongings.
"Don't worry. We won't rob you of your belongings. You just have to stay by the stone wall at the side and try to hide your aura!" Meng Yun said.
"Senior Brothers, what do you mean?" The two of them were stunned. They didn't know what Meng Yun and Ma Tiancheng were doing.
"If I tell you to go, just go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ma Tiancheng said coldly.
Seeing Ma Tiancheng like this, the two of them didn't dare to say anything else. They immediately walked to the stone wall on the right and tried their best to hide their aura.
Seeing them like this, Ma Tiancheng secretly nodded his head.
The reason why they did this was to prevent Linlong from finding out anything. Because if everyone went straight out after coming in, Linlong wouldn't be able to come in when he found out.
As time passed, there were already more than 20 people inside. These people were all threatened by Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun and had no choice but to stay inside.
Just like the first two people, they all stayed by the stone wall and tried their best to hide their aura.
And at this time, Linlong, who was somewhere in the secret realm, finally saw two people take out a piece of rag.
"How is it? Can you see where the target is?" One of the two people asked.
"It's about half a cup of tea's time from here," the other person said.
"Then let's hurry over. Otherwise, it won't be good if the ancient ruins are discovered by others," the first person said directly.
"Alright!"
With that, the two of them sprinted in the direction of the ancient ruins.
As for Linlong, he followed closely behind the two of them. He could see that the rag was real, so he naturally believed that the ancient ruins were in that direction.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the ancient ruins. Seeing that the entrance was obviously open, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, they immediately rushed in.
As for Linlong, he naturally followed them in.
As soon as they entered, the two of them's eyes lit up. This was because there was clearly a black box on the stone platform in front of them.
"It's the black box!" One of them couldn't help but cry out.
As they cried out, the two of them rushed towards the black box.
Although there were two people lying on both sides of the stone platform, they didn't feel that anything was wrong. In their opinion, the two of them must have entered before them and fought over the black box, causing both of them to be injured.
Linlong, who was following behind the two of them, did not rush over. It wasn't because he noticed that there was something wrong with the two people lying on the ground, but because he realized that there were many people in the ancient ruins. Moreover, they were split into two sides.
Of course, the people on both sides were very close to the stone wall. From his perspective, he couldn't see them at all. The only reason he could discover them was because of his powerful divine sense.
With so many people on both sides, it was definitely not right. Thus, how could he just rush over like that?
Not only did he not rush over, but he was also extremely cautious and prepared to rush out of the ancient ruins at any time.
It was also at this moment that a 'eh' sound suddenly came from the right side. Then, a figure sprang out from that direction. At the same time, a powerful sword aura also shot out from that direction.
An expert with the strength of a Silver rank expert! Linlong's expression immediately changed when he sensed the powerful sword aura. He hurriedly met it with his sword. He even used that sword technique.
He knew that if he didn't use it, he would definitely be knocked down by the sword aura in front of him. When that happened, he would definitely be caught by the Silver rank expert who rushed out.
Bang!
The sword aura collided with a dull sound. In the next moment, Linlong was directly sent flying.
The other party was obviously much stronger than him. Fortunately, this sword attack only injured him slightly.
He immediately turned around and rushed out. At this moment, he also clearly saw that the person who suddenly attacked was Ma Tiancheng.
Since he already knew which one was Meng Yun, he could naturally guess who was Ma Tiancheng.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
With a furious curse, Ma Tiancheng also gave chase. At the same time, Meng Yun also came out.
In a short period of time, the three of them rushed out of the ancient ruins. After coming out, the two of them saw Linlong fleeing to the right and immediately chased after him.
However, what made the two of them depressed was that after chasing for a long time, they still couldn't catch up to Linlong. In the end, they were suddenly blocked by a fierce beast that rushed out from the side. Because of this, they directly lost track of Linlong.
"This kid's luck is too good!" Ma Tiancheng naturally scolded in anger after being disturbed by a fierce beast at such a crucial moment.
"This isn't a matter of luck," Meng Yun said.
"En, then what's going on?" Ma Tiancheng asked.
"It's that kid's divine sense is strong. He discovered the position of the fierce beast and then chased after it at the right time to lure the fierce beast over to deal with us!" Meng Yun said.
After being continuously disturbed by fierce beasts, how could he still think that Linlong was lucky and made such a guess?
"Is that so?" Hearing his words, Ma Tiancheng couldn't help but frown.
…
As they chased out, the people in the ancient ruins were naturally discussing.
"Who was that person just now? He was actually able to withstand Senior Brother Ma's attack?"
"That person seems to be Lin Li."
"Lin Li? Who? "
"It seems to be a disciple that has just entered our world of bronze and iron not long ago."
"What? A disciple that has just entered our world of bronze and iron not long ago? How could he withstand Senior Brother Mao's attack? "
"Who knows."
Hearing the crowd's discussion, someone suddenly said, "Everyone, quiet down!"
Because this person was Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun's follower, the surrounding people quietened down after hearing his words. Everyone focused their gazes on him to see what he had to say.
That person said, "Everyone must have already seen who Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Meng set up this trap to deal with, right?"
"It's to deal with Lin Li?" Someone asked.
"That's right." That follower nodded and then continued, "So, Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Meng hope that everyone will deal with Lin Li together after leaving this ancient ruins. Whoever captures him, Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Meng will definitely give a handsome reward of 100,000 Mysterious Crystal Stones."
100,000 Mysterious Crystal Stones! Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding people all lit up. This was not a small number.
"But, that Lin Li was able to withstand Senior Brother Ma's attack just now, how can we be his match?" Someone said worriedly.
"Don't worry, that Lin Li only has a special Rune Sword in his hand. That Rune Sword can't be used more than a few times. If you see him, you will definitely have a chance to capture him!" That follower said.
"Okay, we will definitely help Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Ma!" Hearing this, someone immediately agreed.
This was not just empty words. Many people were really tempted. After all, there was a reward of 50,000 Mysterious Crystal Stones. Apart from that, they would also be able to form a relationship with Silver rank powerhouses like Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun.
"Then I'll have to trouble everyone. Hmm … Everyone can leave now," that follower said.
These words were not something that he thought of on the spur of the moment. It was something that Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun had instructed previously.
After that, the group of people left this place.
…
After making sure that Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun did not chase after him, Lin Long stopped under a big tree. Then, he took a supreme-grade healing medicine.
Just as he took the medicine, a series of footsteps came from the front. Someone was walking towards him.
Lin Long hurriedly hid behind the big tree. At this time, his Rune Sword had already lost its effect, so he could only use the Rune Copper Sword. Hence, even if the person coming over was only at the Iron Sword rank, he had to be extremely cautious.
Otherwise, he would be the one at a disadvantage if they fought.
