To their surprise, Lu Jing still hadn't returned after four hours.
"Junior Brother Lin, could that brat have told the Lu family's patriarch about us?" This made Xiang Rong and Shao Yong worried again.
Fortunately, after the two of them were so worried, Lu Jing finally arrived.
Lu Jing didn't come out alone. Instead, he brought a young man with him. Obviously, this young man was Lu Chunming.
Although he found Lu Chunming, Lu Jing's face was obviously angry, and Lu Chunming had his head lowered with a distressed expression. Clearly, something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Lin Long couldn't help but frown.
Lu Jing immediately said, "Lin Long, this is Lu Chunming. He didn't have time to tell our Lu family's patriarch about you."
"That's a good thing." Xiang Rong and Shao Yong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Jing continued, "Although he didn't have time to tell the Lu family's patriarch, he told someone else."
"What's going on?" Xiang Rong was puzzled.
"This brat should have gone straight to see the Lu family's patriarch when he came back, but he ran to the Spring Courtyard to see a woman he liked. When I returned to the Lu family, I didn't see him, so I went everywhere to look for him. That's why it took me so long," Lu Jing said.
"Elder Jing, I was confused for a moment. Please let me go," Lu Chunming said with a bitter face.
Although he was puzzled as to why Lu Jing was with Lin Long and the others, he didn't dare to ask such a question. One must know that when Lu Jing found him, he looked as if he wanted to eat him up.
"It's fine if you went to find that woman, but why did you tell her about Young Master Lin and the others?" Lu Jing said angrily.
He valued Lu Chunming very much. How could he have thought that he would make such a mistake at such a critical juncture?
"I think Xiao Yi is a good woman. She won't tell anyone else what I told her, so I told her," Lu Chunming said softly.
"But do you know that Xiao Yi is actually Guo Mingfeng's person!" Lu Jing said coldly.
"From what you're saying, he told Xiao Yi about it, and then Xiao Yi told Guo Mingfeng?" Lin Long said.
"Yes." Lu Jing nodded.
"Who is this Guo Mingfeng?" Shao Yong asked.
"He's a hall master of the Guo Family … The Guo Family's strength is about the same as our Lu Family's in Ding Xi City," Lu Jing said.
"Wouldn't it be troublesome if he told the other members of the Guo Family about this?" Shao Yong and Xiang Rong's expressions changed upon hearing his words.
"So, we can only ask Guo Mingfeng now," Lu Jing said.
"Oh, where is he?" Linlong asked.
"He should be in one of the Guo family's branches, which is in Dingxi City," Lu Jing answered.
"What about that woman?" Linlong asked again.
"That woman is already under my control. After interrogation, she didn't tell anyone except for Guo Mingfeng. If you're worried, you can ask her again," Lu Jing said.
"In that case, let's find that Guo Mingfeng first," said Linlong.
Immediately, Lu Jing led them into the city. Due to Lu Jing's identity, the guards at the entrance did not make things difficult for the three of them, even though Linlong and the other two were wearing bamboo hats. Instead, they allowed them to follow Lu Jing in.
Not long after, they arrived at the Guo family's branch hall that Guo Mingfeng was in.
This branch hall was located in a remote area on the west side of Ding Xi City, and there weren't many people around.
The few of them did not directly walk towards the branch hall, because they didn't have any legitimate reason to do so. Furthermore, they heard from Lu Jing that the relationship between the Lu and Guo families wasn't that good.
"Junior Brother Lin, what should we do?" Xiang Rong couldn't help asking as he looked at the door of the branch hall.
"It's simple. Capture someone alone and ask them about the situation inside," Linlong said.
As he spoke, a person walked out from the branch hall.
"I'll go deal with him. You guys wait here," Linlong said.
Although Xiang Rong and Shao Yong had the strength of Black Gold rank, Linlong felt that it was safer for him to go. After all, he didn't know if the person who came out could activate the ice talisman. If he could, Xiang Rong and Shao Yong wouldn't be able to take him down.
"Okay." Xiang Rong and Shao Yong knew this, so they nodded.
Linlong immediately walked over and followed behind the man. When they reached an even more remote area, Linlong's figure flashed and he stood in front of the man.
"Who are you?" That person couldn't help but be surprised.
Not only did Linlong not reply, he even struck out with his sword.
This person only had the strength of an Iron Sword rank. How could he be Linlong's opponent? He was easily knocked unconscious by Linlong's sword.
After removing the Rune Sword and Space Ring from his body, Linlong woke him up and directly asked, "Is your Hall Master Guo Mingfeng inside?"
The person's eyeballs rolled around before he said, "The hall master isn't here. He went to look for the family head."
"You're lying." Linlong couldn't help but say coldly.
With his experience, how could he not see that the person in front of him was slippery?
"I'm really not lying …" The person was shocked and hurriedly said.
Linlong couldn't be bothered to speak anymore and directly set up a restriction. After experiencing the pain of the restriction, the person could only obediently say, "Hall Master Guo is inside."
"That's good. Then bring us in!" Linlong said.
"You guys?" The person was a little surprised.
"Other than me, there are naturally others," Linlong said.
"Then what exactly do you guys want?" The person couldn't help but ask again.
"You don't have to ask about that!"
Then, under the person's guidance, Linlong and the others secretly entered the Guo family's branch hall.
After a while, the man brought them to a very secluded house.
"Hall Master Feng is inside. I wonder what he is discussing with a few deputy hall masters?" The person who led the way said.
After confirming that there was no one around and that there were only a few people in the house, Linlong immediately said to Lu Jing and the others, "Let's go in."
He immediately knocked out the person who led the way, and the group then came to the door of the house.
The door was locked, but when Xiang Rong, who was walking in front, exerted force, the door was directly pushed open.
The few of them immediately walked in. As soon as they entered, they saw a few people with astonished expressions on their faces.
"Elder Jing, why are you here?" Then, one of them asked in surprise.
Not only was he surprised, but the others were also surprised. Obviously, they all recognized Lu Jing.
Lu Jing looked at one of them and said, "Hall Master Feng, I believe you know better than me why I am here."
Although Guo Mingfeng was short, he looked very stocky.
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Guo Mingfeng frowned and immediately said, "It seems that the matter about the foreign races is true!"
Hearing his words, the few people beside him didn't show any surprised expression. Obviously, Guo Mingfeng had already told them about this matter.
"Guo Mingfeng, I believe you have already told them about this matter," Lu Jing said.
"That's right." Guo Mingfeng nodded.
"Other than them, you didn't tell anyone else, right?" Lu Jing asked.
"Elder Jing, what do you mean by coming here? Could it be that you want to silence us so that you can take all the credit for yourself?" Guo Mingfeng said coldly.
Lu Jing didn't answer. Instead, he took out his Ice Talisman and immediately chanted a rune term. In the next moment, the Ice Talisman started burning. At the same time, the surrounding space immediately became incomparably cold.
"Rank 2 Ice Talisman!"
Guo Mingfeng and the others were shocked. He and the other person quickly took out their Ice Talisman. However, their Ice Talisman couldn't withstand the cold brought by Lu Jing's Ice Talisman.
In an instant, Guo Mingfeng and the others were trapped by Lu Jing's Ice Talisman.
Only one person who was far away tried to escape. Xiang Rong and Shao Yong, who were already prepared, immediately went to stop him.
This person only had the strength of a Silver rank. How could he be a match for Xiang Rong and Shao Yong, who had the strength of a Black Gold rank?
Just like that, Lin Long and the others easily restrained Guo Mingfeng and the others.
Just when they were about to interrogate Guo Mingfeng, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Then, a few people walked into the room.
Looking at the few people who walked in, Lu Jing's face immediately changed.
Seeing these people, Guo Mingfeng couldn't help but say to the old man who was walking at the front, "Elder Zhu, you're here!"
It seemed like he was the one who called these people over.
Elder Zhu frowned and looked at Lu Jing. "Elder Jing, what do you mean by this?"
There was an 80% chance that this Elder Zhu didn't know what was going on! Seeing Elder Zhu's puzzled expression, such a thought immediately flashed in Lu Jing's mind.
So, he immediately said, "Guo Mingfeng owes me some money. He couldn't pay me back on time, so I had no choice but to come here personally."
"He owes you some money?" Elder Zhu said with a puzzled expression.
Could it be that Guo Mingfeng really owes Lu Jing money? Because he knew that Lu Jing was here to find trouble with him, he called me over? That was what he thought in his heart.
Guo Mingfeng hurriedly shouted, "Elder Zhu, he's spouting nonsense. I called you over for other …"
However, he didn't manage to finish his sentence because Lin Long knocked him out with a slap.
Seeing this scene, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.
"Elder Jing, you're too much. Even if Guo Mingfeng owes you money, you can't just kill your way into our branch hall!" Elder Zhu couldn't help but say coldly.
"What can I do if he doesn't pay me back?" Lu Jing said with an indifferent expression.
"They can't possibly owe you too, right?" Elder Zhu looked at the others.
"Of course not …" Before he finished speaking, Lu Jing had already taken out an ice talisman.
Since Elder Zhu had already seen this, they had no other choice but to take action.
Because no matter what, Elder Zhu wouldn't just watch Lu Jing take Guo Mingfeng and the others away.
"Elder Jing, what are you doing?" Elder Zhu's expression changed.
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken out his ice talisman.
Since the other party was already about to make a move, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask why.
In the next moment, the two of them simultaneously activated their ice talismans. In an instant, the entire room froze over.
Elder Zhu was clearly also able to activate a grade two ice talisman, so the two of them were evenly matched.
Xiang Rong and Shao Yong had already rushed out of the room. Compared to Guo Mingfeng and the others, Elder Zhu's ice talisman was not something they could endure.
Although Lin Long was in the room, he had also retreated far away.
"Elder Jing, are you trying to go against our Guo Family?" Elder Zhu said coldly.
Now that Lu Jing was the one who initiated the attack, things were different. In his opinion, it wasn't as simple as Guo Mingfeng owing him money.
Lu Jing didn't answer.
As time passed, Elder Zhu's expression became uglier and uglier. He realized that he couldn't hold on much longer.
His control of the grade two ice talisman was clearly inferior to Lu Jing's.
"What are you guys doing? Hurry up and get out. Tell the people outside what happened!" Elder Zhu couldn't help but shout when he saw that the people who came with him were still staring blankly at the back.
When those people heard him, they hurriedly ran out. But how could Lin Long give them such a chance? He immediately surrounded them.
Those people hurriedly waved the rune swords in their hands to deal with Lin Long. One of them even took out an ice talisman.
However, he only activated a grade one ice talisman. How could he be Lin Long's opponent?
Lin Long only needed one or two slashes to knock him to the ground. His ice talisman couldn't affect Xiang Rong and Shao Yong at all.
As for Shao Yong and Xiang Rong, they only needed one or two moves to deal with the others. Therefore, in a short period of time, except for Elder Zhu, the others were all knocked to the ground.
Elder Zhu couldn't help but ask again, "Lu Jing, what are you trying to do?"
"You don't need to know that!" Lu Jing said.
As he spoke, Elder Zhu clearly couldn't hold on any longer. His entire body was trembling so much that it was already swaying.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he directly fell to the ground.
Just like that, Lin Long and the others subdued those people.
As they were in the innermost part of the branch hall, there was no one around, so the people in the branch hall still didn't know what was happening inside.
Then, Lin Long and Lu Jing brought Guo Mingfeng to a room alone.
As soon as they entered, Lin Long said coldly, "Guo Mingfeng, how many people other than you know about that matter?"
"Other than me and a few vice hall masters, no one else knows," Guo Mingfeng said honestly.
"Then why did Elder Zhu come?" Lin Long asked again.
"I have a good relationship with him. I wanted to discuss with him about the matter of you people and see what to do. I didn't expect that you people would come before he did," Guo Mingfeng said helplessly.
"You didn't tell him about it, right?" Lu Jing asked.
"No, I planned to tell him after he came," Guo Mingfeng said.
Hearing his words, Lin Long couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. However, just in case, he still placed a restriction on Guo Mingfeng.
After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.
