On the other side, Zhao Shengping, who returned to Valley Stone Village, went directly to his grandfather Zhao Le.
"Shengping, what's wrong?" Seeing his grandson in a hurry, Zhao Le couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa, I just met a strange middle-aged man on the way back. As soon as the man saw me, he asked Third Young Master if something big had happened in our village in the past few days. In order to make me say such a thing, he even took out a bag of coins to lure me!" Zhao Shengping said as he took out the bag that Lu Jing had given him before.
Hearing Zhao Shengping's words, Zhao Le couldn't help but be surprised. He immediately took the bag that Zhao Shengping took out and looked at it carefully. His brows wrinkled even deeper, because the cloth of the bag indicated that the person who came may be from Bing Xuan City.
Could it be that the people from Bing Xuan City found something wrong and came over? He couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Seeing Zhao Le like this, Zhao Shengping couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Le didn't answer, but asked, "Shengping, what did you answer at that time?"
"I said that something big did happen in our village. A silver wolf hurt a lot of children. In order to deal with the silver wolf, Third Young Master stayed in the village for so long." Zhao Shengping said.
Hearing Zhao Shengping say so, Zhao Le couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately praised him. "Shengping, you did a good job."
"Grandpa, seeing that you are so cautious, do you think that the person who came is for Big Brother Lin?" Zhao Shengping then asked.
The so-called Big Brother Lin was naturally Lin Long. These days, Lin Long's performance made the younger Zhao Shengping admire him.
"It is likely that they came for your Big Brother Lin, and the person who came is likely to be from Bing Xuan City." Zhao Le nodded.
"Then what should we do?" Seeing his grandfather's affirmation, Zhao Shengping couldn't help but worry.
"Let's go and tell this matter to Patriarch and your Big Brother Lin first, then we will make a decision!" Saying so, Zhao Le took Zhao Shengping to find Patriarch Wang Tian and Lin Long.
He first met up with Clan Head Wang Tian and told him about this matter. Wang Tian immediately called Linlong, Yan Hao, and the others over.
Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Le briefly explained the situation and then took out the money bag that Lu Jing had given him.
"This money bag isn't unique to our Bing Xuan City!" Upon seeing this money bag, Yan Hao couldn't help but frown.
As a young man of Bing Xuan City, Yan Hao naturally had an understanding of the money bags used by most people in the city.
"Could it be that it's someone unexpected from Bing Xuan City?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Yan Hao did not answer. Instead, he looked at Zhao Pingsheng and asked, "Li, do you remember what that person looks like?"
"That person is a middle-aged man who seems to be in his forties. He looks a little sinister, and there is a large mole at the corner of his mouth with long hair growing on it," Zhao Shengping immediately said.
He remembered Lu Jing's face very clearly.
"It's someone from my big brother's side!" Yan Hao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"That's right, it's someone from Eldest Young Master's side. I remember this person's name is Lu Jing, and he seems to be an elder of the Lu Clan!" The fat middle-aged man behind Yan Hao said.
Lu Jing had come to their Bing Xuan City several times, and they naturally knew of Lu Jing.
"It's Lu Jing … But, I remember that Lu Jing wasn't in Bing Xuan City before we came. How did he suddenly appear in Valley Stone Village?" Yan Hao wondered.
"No matter what, since Lu Jing appeared, it means that Eldest Young Master may have doubts about this place. It's best if they are the only ones who are suspicious. If even the City Lord knows that such a thing may happen, then it will be troublesome!" The fat middle-aged man said.
"I just hope that they are the only ones who are suspicious. If Lu Jing himself is suspicious, that would be even better." Yan Hao said.
"Pingsheng, besides the middle-aged man, did you see anyone else?" Wang Tian looked at Zhao Shengping and asked.
"No, I just saw the middle-aged man." Zhao Shengping shook his head.
Zhao Le on the side said, "Eldest Young Master Yan Si and the others should be hiding on the side. After all, if so many people appear together, no matter who it is, they will be suspicious."
"According to Pingsheng, they must still be nearby to inquire about the situation. So, at this time, we should go out and see how many people they have and how much they know about us." Yan Hao said.
"Let me do this." Linlong, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Linlong, of course, you are the best candidate." Hearing Linlong's words, everyone around nodded.
Immediately, Linlong took the black monkey, Xiang Rong, and Shao Yong out of the village.
The reason why he brought Xiang Rong and Shao Yong was naturally because their strength could also help him.
Their only weakness was that they could not master the Deep Freeze Rune Sword. If they met someone who could activate the Ice Talisman Paper, they would not be able to withstand a single blow. However, Linlong did not need them to face the enemy head-on. He only needed their divine sense.
After carefully exploring the outside for half an hour, Linlong found a sneaky middle-aged man. Behind this middle-aged man, he also saw a few people.
Even if he was far away, he could see the mole on the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he looked very sinister. Obviously, it was the middle-aged man Zhao Shengping mentioned, Lu Jing.
After memorizing the faces of the people behind Lu Jing, Linlong immediately asked Xiang Rong and the black monkey to keep an eye on them, while he returned to the village to inform everyone.
"There is indeed a middle-aged man like that, and he is not alone. There are seven other people behind him …" Linlong said.
At this time, he naturally gave a rough description of the other people's faces, but he said a few more words about the young man among the seven.
The reason for this was naturally because this young man was different from the others, and the others clearly followed his lead.
Yan Hao immediately said, "From Brother Lin's words, that young man is obviously my big brother Yan Si!"
Linlong could not help but say, "Is he your big brother? But he doesn't look like you."
Yan Hao explained, "Brother Lin, although my big brother and I have the same father but different mothers, for some reason, we don't look alike at all."
"Is that so." Linlong nodded to indicate that he understood.
Wang Tian then looked at Linlong and said, "Linlong, what do you think we should do now?"
After hearing his words, the others also focused their attention on Linlong.
"There are only eight people in their group. We can only take them down now, then ask them if there are others who have the same suspicions as them," Linlong said.
"Yes, that's the only way." Wang Tian and the others also nodded.
Linlong then looked at Yan Hao and said, "Yan Hao, it shouldn't be difficult for us to deal with those people, right?"
"It shouldn't be difficult. We have more people, so it shouldn't be a problem to take them down," Yan Hao said.
"Alright, then let's go out now and take them down as quickly as possible!" Linlong made the final decision.
Immediately, he led everyone out of the village. Soon, they saw Xiang Rong who was in charge of scouting outside.
As soon as Linlong arrived, Xiang Rong pointed to a small slope in the distance and said, "Junior Brother Lin, their group is behind that small slope. Because it's already close to the village, they don't dare to get too close … From the looks of it, they want to sneak into the village at night."
"Are you sure they are all there?" Linlong asked.
"Yes, they are all there!" Xiang Rong nodded.
"Alright, then let's surround them!" Linlong said.
Immediately, a group of people surrounded the small mound.
After surrounding them, Linlong was sure that Xiang Rong was right. The eight people were all behind the small slope.
When they got closer, Lu Jing and the others naturally realized that something was wrong.
"Who are you people?" Their expressions changed as they hurriedly shouted.
"We are people from Valley Stone Village. Who are you people? Why are you sneaking into our Valley Stone Village!" Chief Wang Tian said coldly.
"Who said we are sneaking!" Lu Jing frowned. He didn't know what went wrong that led to their whereabouts being exposed.
"Hmm … Isn't that Li Shu? Why are you guys tying him up?" Zhou Yiming pointed to a person behind Lu Jing.
This person was Li Shu, who was previously captured by Lu Jing and the others. After approaching Valley Stone Village, he was tied up at the back. That was why Linlong, Xiang Rong, and the others didn't notice him.
Seeing that Li Shu was tied up, Wang Tian shouted loudly, "What are you guys trying to do?"
"Third brother!"
At this moment, Yan Si, who was beside Lu Jing, suddenly shouted. He saw Yan Hao, who had just walked in front of them from the other side.
"Mutated races!"
Then, Yan Si, Lu Jing, and the others cried out in alarm. The reason for this was naturally because they saw Linlong and the others.
"There are indeed mutated races … Third brother, why are you with these mutated races? Don't you know that the mutated races are a disaster for us?" Yan Si said coldly.
"Big brother, you are wrong. The mutated races will not bring us disaster." Yan Hao shook his head.
"Third young master, I really didn't expect you to be bewitched by these people!" Lu Jing, who was beside Yan Hao, couldn't help but say.
He really didn't expect that Yan Hao would actually stand with the mutated races.
"Third brother, as long as you help me take down these mutated races, I will not mention to father about your cooperation with the mutated races … As for the people of Valley Stone Village, as long as you help me take down the mutated races, I will not let the city lord know about your mistakes!" Yan Si looked at Yan Hao and the others and said loudly.
"Eldest young master, can't you see that we have so many people surrounding you to deal with you?" Wang Tian said with a smile.
"Patriarch Wang Tian is right. We have surrounded you to deal with you … Big brother, don't waste your breath!" Yan Hao also said.
"From the looks of it, you seem to think that it will be very easy to take us down?" At this time, a strange expression appeared on Lu Jing's face.
"Could it be that you think that the few of you can stir up any waves?" Dong Shang said coldly.
"Tsk tsk, you are just a person who can activate a rank 1 Ice Talisman. How can you be so complacent? Don't you know that there is always someone better than you?" Lu Jing sneered.
"From the looks of it, could it be that you can activate a rank 2 Ice Talisman?" Hearing Lu Jing's words, Dong Shang could not help but be shocked.
"That's right, I can activate a rank 2 Ice Talisman. I am not someone that you people can deal with!" Lu Jing said proudly.
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Wang Tian couldn't help but look at Yan Hao and ask in a low voice, "Third young master, can this person really activate a rank 2 Ice Talisman?"
If there really was such a person with such strength, it would be hard to say if they could take him down.
"I don't know either. I always thought that he could only activate a rank 1 Ice Talisman." Yan Hao frowned.
It was also because of this that he felt that it wouldn't be difficult for them to take down Lu Jing and the others with so many people.
"We'll know if you have that kind of strength once we try!" Dong Shang said. After saying that, he looked at Patriarch Wang Tian and said, "Patriarch, let me test this person's strength!"
"Alright, Dong Shang, go and give it a try!" Wang Tian immediately nodded.
Dong Shang immediately walked out and said to Lu Jing, "Let me, Dong Shang, test your skills!"
After saying that, he directly took out the Ice Talisman on his body.
"It's just a rank 1 Ice Talisman …" Lu Jing sneered again.
As he spoke, he took out an Ice Talisman from his body. His Ice Talisman looked no different from Dong Shang's Ice Talisman, so no one could tell anything.
In the next moment, both of them silently chanted a rune term, and then the Ice Talisman in their hands began to burn.
At the same time, the temperature of the surrounding space immediately plummeted.
What made the people on Wang Tian's side change their expressions was that Dong Shang was clearly at a disadvantage. Because after the other party's Ice Talisman was activated, he, who seemed to be fine, began to shiver. Then, a thick layer of ice formed on his body.
From the looks of it, if this continued, he might turn into a popsicle.
Lin Long could feel that the temperature of the surrounding space was clearly lower than when the others had activated the Ice Talisman.
If it wasn't for the fact that he could already control the Deep Frost Rune Iron Sword, he probably wouldn't be able to stand steadily at this moment.
From the side, Xiang Rong and Shao Yong could tell that the two of them were constantly retreating. It was obvious that they were affected by the Ice Talisman activated by the other party.
"Can't even withstand a single blow!" Lu Jing retracted his hand. After saying that, the chill in the surrounding void immediately disappeared.
After he withdrew his hand, Dong Shang, whose lips were already purple from the cold, and his body was trembling uncontrollably, directly fell to the ground.
Someone on Wang Tian's side hurriedly walked out and helped him to the back.
In the next moment, Lu Jing said proudly, "Did you see that? This is the power of a rank 2 Ice Talisman. It's not something you can deal with at all. So, I hope you can listen to the Eldest Young Master and take down these foreigners!"
In the next moment, Yan Si also said, "You guys are really no match for Uncle Jing. So, don't put up any meaningless resistance!"
Hearing their words, Wang Tian and the others naturally frowned.
