"It's someone else … I'm actually just that person's puppet. I only show up and he does everything," the young man said.
"Oh, then where is he now?" Linlong continued to ask.
"He's in a secret chamber in this pawnshop," the other party answered honestly.
"Then bring us there!" Linlong said directly.
Immediately, the other party led them towards the secret chamber of the pawnshop. Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the secret chamber.
After opening the entrance, the few of them walked in.
The secret chamber wasn't big, but what made Linlong and Xu Cheng frown was that there wasn't a single person in the secret chamber.
"You lied to us?" Linlong looked at the person who brought them in and coldly said.
"I didn't lie to you. He was in this secret chamber previously," the young man couldn't help but say.
At this moment, Linlong's eyes narrowed. With his powerful divine will, he seemed to have captured something. In the next moment, he said directly, "He seems to be outside!"
After saying that, Linlong directly rushed out of the secret chamber and chased in the direction he sensed.
Very quickly, he saw a sneaky figure in front of him. Although there were some people in the pawnshop, with Linlong's experience, how could he not see that person was the person he was looking for?
Seeing Linlong chasing after him, that person hurriedly rushed out of the pawnshop. Naturally, Linlong chased after him.
What Linlong didn't expect was that the other party's speed wasn't slow, and he couldn't catch up to him in a short period of time.
However, he wasn't worried because the people he brought with him had already surrounded the pawnshop. No matter which direction the other party fled to, he would be stopped.
As expected, in the next moment, two people directly blocked in front of the person.
Seeing that the situation wasn't good, the person hurriedly took out an ice talisman and directly activated it. This ice talisman was obviously a grade 2 ice talisman.
However, one of the two people blocking in front of him could also activate a grade 2 ice talisman. Immediately, he activated his grade 2 ice talisman.
In an instant, the surrounding void was filled with ice energy.
After resisting for a short while, the person's expression changed drastically because a few more people rushed over. Soon after, another two people activated their ice talismans and joined the battle.
In this way, how could this person resist? Soon, he was shivering from the cold and finally fell to the ground.
Lin Long hurried forward and made him swallow an antidote. He was afraid that this person would suddenly consume poison.
Fortunately, this person was the same as Xu Cheng. He was not like those assassins who would take poison at the slightest disagreement.
"This is the person you're talking about, right?" Linlong looked at the young man he had caught earlier.
"That's right, it's him. I've always been working for him like a puppet," the young man said.
"Shi Li, I've always treated you well. Why did you betray me?" The person who had just been captured couldn't help but angrily say.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.
"There's nothing I can do." Shi Li laughed bitterly. Between betrayal and being tortured by Lin Long's strange methods, he chose the former without the slightest hesitation.
He did not want to experience that kind of pain again.
Linlong looked at the person and said, "Are you the person in charge of contacting the powerhouses in the Wordless Assassin Organization who can activate the Level Three Ice Talisman?"
"That's right, I am," the other party said boldly.
"Oh, where are the people from the Lan Family in Dingxi City? What kind of strength does that person have? "Linlong asked.
"How could I possibly tell you that?" the other party said coldly.
"That's not up to you," Linlong said faintly. After saying that, he placed a restriction on the person's body.
Once the restriction was activated, the person quickly couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Only then did Linlong remove the restriction.
After taking a few breaths, the other party said helplessly, "The people from the Lan Family in Dingxi City are in the Mo Family's residence. However, this time, an elder from the Lan Family rushed over. That elder's surname is Mu."
"How strong are the two of them?" Linlong asked again.
"Elder Mu's strength is slightly stronger, but he can only activate the Level Two Ice Talisman," the other party said.
"Then, bring me to see the two of them now!" Linlong said directly.
"Yes," the other party quickly replied.
Then, he brought Linlong to the Mo Family's residence.
Very quickly, they arrived outside the Mo Family's courtyard.
At this moment, the person following Linlong was an elder from the Guo Family who wasn't that famous in Dingxi City. The reason why he did this was because he didn't want the other party to notice that something was wrong. After all, if Lu Jing and Guo Ying followed him, it would be too obvious.
As for the others, they surrounded the courtyard.
The moment they arrived, the person who brought Linlong over asked, "Is Elder Mu here?"
"Elder Mu is here." One of the Mo Family's guards nodded and said.
"Then, bring us in to see him."
"But?" The guard couldn't help but look at Linlong and the Guo Family's elder.
"This is my subordinate. You don't have to worry about him," the person who brought Linlong over said.
"Is that so? Then, wait for a moment," the guard said as he walked through the gate.
Very quickly, he returned and respectfully said to Linlong and the other party, "Please follow me in."
After making a few turns in the courtyard, the four of them arrived at the door of a room.
"Who is it?" Before the guard knocked on the door, an old voice came from inside.
"Elder Mu, Lord Ge is here to see you," the Mo Family's guard said respectfully.
Lord Ge was the person from the assassin organization that Linlong had just captured.
"Is it Lord Ge?" The old voice sounded again.
"Elder Mu, it's me!" Lord Ge hurriedly said.
Soon, the tightly shut door opened, revealing the face of an old man.
"Elder Mu." The assassin organization's Lord Ge cupped his hands and greeted.
It was obvious that the old man in front of him was Elder Mu.
"Who are the two people beside you?" Elder Mu looked at Linlong and asked curiously.
"Two subordinates," Lord Ge replied.
After hearing Lord Ge's reply, Elder Mu didn't ask anymore and allowed Lord Ge and the others to enter.
Once they entered, Elder Mu asked, "Lord Ge, how was the mission?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't complete the mission," Lord Ge said with a bitter expression.
"What? How did you fail?" Elder Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had asked the assassin organization to send three experts who could activate the Grade 3 Ice Talisman.
Who would have thought that Lord Ge would tell him that the mission had failed?
"Because we've already seen through it," Linlong, who was at the side, said faintly.
"Who are you?" Hearing Linlong's words, Elder Mu couldn't help but look at Linlong.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you will be caught by us," Linlong said with a faint smile.
After saying that, the elder at the side had already taken out a Grade 2 Ice Talisman.
"Lord Ge, what are you doing?" Elder Mu couldn't help but ask Lord Ge.
He even thought that this was a plot by the assassin organization.
"Elder Mu, can't you see that I'm also under someone's control?" Lord Ge smiled bitterly.
Before he finished speaking, the elder had already activated the Grade 2 Ice Talisman. Elder Mu hurriedly activated his Grade 2 Ice Talisman as well.
The two of them were immediately in a deadlock.
"What are you guys doing?" Sensing that something was wrong, some people from the Mo Family rushed over.
"Hurry up and help me deal with these people!" Elder Mu shouted hurriedly.
It was also at this moment that Lu Jing, Guo Ying, and the others who were waiting outside also rushed in.
"Elder Lu Jing, Elder Guo Ying!" The people from the Mo Family exclaimed when they saw Lu Jing and the others.
"This is a private matter between us and Elder Mu. I hope that you guys can back off. Of course, you guys can also join in. Our families won't mind," Lu Jing said indifferently.
Hearing Lu Jing's words, the faces of the people from the Mo Family couldn't help but twitch.
"What's going on here?" Very quickly, a dignified elder in his fifties rushed over. When he saw the situation, he immediately frowned and asked.
"Mo Family's Patriarch, this is a private matter between us and Elder Mu. I hope that your Mo Family won't interfere," Guo Ying said.
Looking at Guo Ying, Lu Jing, and the others, the Mo Family's Patriarch's face became extremely ugly. He naturally knew that Elder Mu was backed by the Lan Family. However, if he stood on Elder Mu's side, he would definitely offend the Dingxi City's Guo Family and a few other families.
At that time, his Mo Family would probably be exterminated.
Therefore, he didn't dare to express his opinion.
Both parties were major powers, so he didn't dare to offend the other party.
After saying that, Guo Ying didn't care what the Mo Family's Patriarch was thinking and directly attacked Elder Mu.
With Guo Ying's participation, how could Elder Mu be a match for her? Very quickly, he fell to the ground from the cold.
After that, Guo Ying directly restrained Elder Mu.
After restraining Elder Mu, another person was captured. This person was naturally the spy that the Lan Family had placed in Dingxi City. The reason why Elder Mu and the others were able to obtain information so quickly was also because of this person.
"Elder Mu, I wish to know why you want to deal with Lan Yuze." Lin Long directly stepped forward and asked.
"It's very obvious that Lan Yuze is blocking Madam's path …" Elder Mu coldly said.
After hearing Elder Mu's words, Lin Long also knew why. It turned out that Lan Yuze's talent threatened the position of the Lan Family's Second Madam's son. In order to get rid of Lan Yuze, the Lan Family's Second Madam ordered someone to poison Lan Yuze. As a result, Lan Yuze became crazy.
However, at that time, Lan Yuze was secretly brought out. For more than ten years, the Lan Family's Second Madam couldn't find Lan Yuze, so she couldn't eliminate him.
It was only recently that the subordinates of the Lan Family's Second Madam found Lan Yuze. After that, she ordered the assassins to deal with Lan Yuze in an attempt to kill him.
Fortunately, they encountered Lin Long. Otherwise, Lan Yuze and Chun Mei would have died.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you helping Lan Yuze? "Elder Mu asked.
Elder Mu wasn't from Dingxi City, so he didn't recognize Guo Ying, Lu Jing, and the others. Naturally, he didn't know which families they were from.
"I'll tell you now. We are from the Guo Family, Lu Family, and a few other families in the city," Lin Long said indifferently.
"What?" Elder Mu couldn't help but frown.
Then, he coldly said, "However, so what if you are from those families? Only death awaits you if you offend our Lan Family!"
"You don't have to worry about that, Elder Mu." Lin Long smiled.
After saying that, Lin Long placed a restriction on Elder Mu's body. As for the other spy, he was also tortured by the restriction. After that, Linlong naturally obtained other information from the two spies.
Then, Lin Long got the spy to send a message to the Lan Family, saying that Lan Yuze had been dealt with.
In the future, the other party would naturally see that something was wrong. However, Lin Long didn't care so much. He just needed to buy time for now.
Just like that, the trouble of the Lan Family was temporarily resolved.
After knowing this information, Lan Yuze was naturally very grateful to Lin Long. If it wasn't for this, he would have to face endless pursuit from the Lan Family.
Because of this, Lan Yuze stayed to help Lin Long.
Unknowingly, a few days passed. At this time, there was only one day left before the auction started.
During this period of time, more and more forces surged into Dingxi City. What made Lin Long frown was that many forces obviously had powerhouses who could activate level-three ice talismans.
Fortunately, there weren't any powerhouses who could activate level-four ice talismans yet.
However, Lin Long knew that it was only a matter of time before such powerhouses appeared.
Naturally, these people didn't come for the auction. They came for the Spirit Soothing Pill.
Because of what happened to the Fang Family, none of the forces dared to cause trouble for the few families. However, today, another force finally came to cause trouble.
Because they knew that the Spirit Soothing Pill Store was the core of the few families, this force directly went to the Spirit Soothing Pill Store.
Guo Ying, who was outside, immediately came to find Lin Long.
"Young Master, someone is here to cause trouble. It's the Ren Family from Spring Capital City in the middle of the Ice Peak Nation … This Ren Family has powerhouses who can activate level-three ice talismans. Right now, there are two such powerhouses outside," Guo Ying said.
"Oh, then call a few family heads. Let's go out and take a look," Lin Long said.
Guo Ying immediately went to call Lu Yongfeng and a few other family heads before following Lin Long out.
During this period of time, the family heads had already stayed in the Spirit Soothing Pill Store.
Soon, they saw a few people outside the Spirit Soothing Pill Store.
These people occupied the entire store and chased away the others who wanted to come in to buy the Spirit Soothing Pill.
"Young Master, the middle-aged man on the left and the young man on the right are the powerhouses who can activate level-three ice talismans," Guo Ying whispered beside Lin Long.
Lin Long could tell without Guo Ying's introduction.
"So, it's the people from Spring Capital City's Ren Family. However, you came from afar. Aren't you looking down on the people from Ding Xi City?" Lu Yongfeng said coldly.
Lin Long, who was wearing a large bamboo hat, was still standing behind the family heads.
He did this to hide himself.
"Lu Clan Head, you're wrong. We didn't look down on the people of Ding Xi City. We just wanted to buy all the Spirit Calming Pills in your medicine shop, but you didn't agree." The middle-aged man on the left said with a complacent expression.
"Due to the limited production of our Spirit Soothing Pills, we don't sell all of them to anyone," Lu Yongfeng said with a frown.
"Is that so? Why don't you just tell us the refining method? That way, you won't have to go through so much trouble," the middle-aged man said with a chuckle.
"That's even more impossible!" Guo Haiyun said coldly.
"You're looking down on the Ren Family … It seems like you still don't know that we're powerhouses who can activate level-three ice talismans!" The young man on the right sneered.
As he spoke, he took out a level-three ice talisman and played with it.
