Under the other party's coercion, Luo Lie could only say, "I'm actually just a substitute."
After all, the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill wasn't as effective as the Life Listening Pill. Thus, Luo Lie chose to lower his head.
If he were to listen to the Life Listening Pill, Luo Lie would naturally make the opposite choice.
"Substitute? What do you mean?" the young man hurriedly asked.
"The real person wearing the bamboo hat is someone else. I'm just a substitute. For example, I attended today's banquet, but the real person didn't go," Luo Lie said.
"I see." The young man and Ling Shu immediately understood.
After understanding, they furrowed their brows because it was useless for them to capture Luo Lie.
Ling Shu immediately asked, "Who is the real person? Where is he? "
"I don't know who he is. He also lives in Kong Yang's courtyard," Luo Lie said.
"Oh, which room is that?" Uncle Ling said as he took out the map from before.
After looking at the map for a while, Luo Lie pointed to one of the rooms and said, "It's here!"
Although they knew where the other party lived, Ling Shu and the young man dispelled the idea of capturing him because capturing Luo Lie would definitely alert the other party.
"Let's wait for a period of time until the other party thinks that this matter is over or after he leaves the Kong residence," Ling Shu said.
"Okay, let's do as Ling Shu said." The young man immediately nodded in agreement.
…
What they didn't know was that Lin Long and the others had already arrived near them. With the bamboo rat's senses, Lin Long had already locked on to their location.
"Luo Lie is in the courtyard in front!" Lin Long said as he pointed to the courtyard on the left.
Immediately, Zhou Ba and Kong Zhe sneaked toward the courtyard while Lin Long and the others followed behind them.
Soon, they found Luo Lie and the two people who had captured Luo Lie.
After confirming that there was no one else, they directly appeared and surrounded the two people.
Seeing this situation, the two people's expressions changed greatly.
"How did you find this place?" Ling Shu couldn't help but shout.
He had been very careful along the way, and he didn't go to the inn from before. Instead, he followed the young man to this courtyard where no one lived. He didn't expect to be caught up and surrounded by these people.
Kong Yang ignored him and said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you capture our people?"
"They are members of my Zhou Family!" Zhou Han suddenly said at this moment.
"Zhou Family?" Kong Yang and the others were surprised.
Zhou Han looked at Uncle Ling and the young man. "Uncle Ling, Guo Xing, what are you guys doing?"
"Eldest Young Master, there's no need to tell you why we're doing this." The young man named Guo Xing said coldly.
As he spoke, he had already taken out the icy talismans on him. As for your uncle, he did the same.
"Do you think you can defeat us? We have two experts who can activate Level 4 Ice Talismans! "Kong Yang said coldly.
Before he finished speaking, Kong Zhe and Zhou Ba had already taken out their level four ice talismans.
"You're also an expert who can activate Level 4 Ice Talismans!" Looking at Kong Zhe, Guo Xing and Uncle Ling's faces turned ugly.
If the other party only had one such expert, they could still put up a fight. But with two of them and the others, how could they possibly be a match for them?
However, they were currently surrounded and had no way to escape. Therefore, they could only fight to the death.
"Since that's the case, then let us experience your strength!" Guo Xing said coldly.
Then, the two of them activated the Level 4 Ice Talismans in their hands. Kong Zhe and Zhou Ba did the same.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted. After fighting for a while, Uncle Ling and Guo Xing couldn't hold on any longer. Guo Xing was the first to fall to the ground from the cold. Without Guo Xing's help, Uncle Ling was no match for Kong Zhe and Zhou Ba. Soon, he couldn't even stand steadily.
Then, the two of them surrendered themselves to capture.
After using a special rope to tie the two of them up, Kong Yang and the others naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Luo Lie hurriedly said, "Young Master, I was wrong. I told them your information."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Long's brows furrowed tightly.
"If I didn't say it, they would have killed me. I can't do anything about it." Luo Lie said with a bitter expression.
"Is that so? Then shut up first. I'll deal with your matter later." Lin Long said coldly.
Hearing this, Luo Lie didn't dare to say anything else.
Lin Long shifted his gaze to Guo Xing and Uncle Ling and asked, "Why did you do this?"
"Why would we tell you?" Guo Xing sneered.
Uncle Ling also said, "We won't tell you. We aren't as spineless as Luo Lie!"
"If you think that way, then you're wrong," Lin Long said indifferently.
After saying that, he directly placed a restriction on Uncle Ling's body.
Once the restriction was activated, even someone as strong as Uncle Ling could only roll on the ground and beg for mercy.
What kind of technique is this? Why is it so powerful that Uncle Ling can't even withstand it?! This situation made Guo Xing's back break out in a cold sweat.
He originally thought that Lin Long would use some kind of torture to force them. Who would have thought that he would directly use such a simple technique to make Uncle Ling wish he was dead.
Looking at Uncle Ling, Lin Long asked again, "Why did you do this?"
"We did this because of Second Young Master's instructions." Uncle Ling said with a bitter expression.
"Your Zhou Family's Second Young Master?" Lin Long asked.
"Yes." Uncle Ling nodded, then said, "He asked us to do this because the Patriarch had received a letter from the Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master said that he had already cooperated with the alchemist who refined the Tranquil Pill, and would give them the pill formula to refine the Tranquil Pill …"
"What does that have to do with you?" Kong Ming asked doubtfully.
"It has a lot to do with it. If Eldest Young Master can really carry out this kind of cooperation, the position of Family Head can only belong to Eldest Young Master in the future. No one else has a chance at all." Uncle Ling said.
After a slight pause, he said, "Because of this, Second Young Master asked us to chase after them and wait for an opportunity to capture the alchemist who can refine the Spirit Tranquil Pill. When that time comes, he will obtain the refining method and may turn defeat into victory in the fight for the position of Family Head!"
Hearing his words, Kong Yang and the rest naturally understood.
"I didn't expect Second Brother to use such a despicable method!" Zhou Han sneered.
"Eldest Young Master, please let us go!" Uncle Ling and Guo Xing hurriedly begged for mercy.
Uncle Ling had already begged for mercy, so how could Guo Xing still be stubborn? Naturally, he also begged for mercy with Uncle Ling.
Zhou Han ignored them and looked at Lin Long. "Young Master, what should we do?"
Looks like this is the real deal. Seeing Zhou Han being so respectful to Lin Long, the same thought emerged in the minds of Uncle Ling and Guo Xing.
"The expert who can activate the grade four ice talisman will stay. As for the other one, you will have to see how the situation goes," Lin Long said indifferently.
"Understood." Nodding, Zhou Han directly killed Guo Xing with a single slash of his sword.
This caused cold sweat to appear on Luo Lie's back.
Then, Lin Long brought Uncle Ling to a room on the side.
The moment they entered the room, Uncle Ling couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you kill me?"
"It's simple. I want you to become my subordinate like them," Lin Long said straightforwardly.
"Okay," Uncle Ling replied without hesitation.
He knew that if he didn't agree, he would definitely be killed by Zhou Han with a single slash. Thus, he didn't dare to hesitate.
"That's not enough." As he spoke, Lin Long took out a pill and tossed it over.
Uncle Ling hurriedly reached out to catch it. When he opened his palm and saw that it was a pill, cold sweat immediately appeared on his back.
He didn't think that Lin Long would give him any miraculous pill.
Recalling what Luo Lie had told them before, he quickly asked, "Is this the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill?"
"No." Lin Long shook his head. "This is the Fate Obeying Pill."
"Fate Obeying Pill?" Uncle Ling couldn't help but ask. Although he didn't know what pill it was, the name alone was terrifying.
Lin Long immediately explained the effects of the Fate Obeying Pill. After hearing Lin Long's explanation, Uncle Ling's expression naturally turned even uglier.
Although he didn't want to end up like this, he didn't want to taste the power of Lin Long's restriction again. Thus, he could only obediently swallow it.
The reason why Lin Long didn't kill him and instead let him consume the Fate Obeying Pill was naturally because of his strength. Otherwise, why would he waste a Fate Obeying Pill?
Then, Lin Long brought him out.
Once they were out, Lin Long said to Kong Yang, Zhou Han, and the rest, "We'll leave Nanjiang City tomorrow."
"So soon!" Kong Yang couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, there are many things to do." Lin Long nodded.
Hearing Lin Long say so, Kong Yang didn't ask anything else. After all, Lin Long had already told him about this before.
The next day, Lin Long, Zhou Han, Uncle Ling, and Zhou Ba left Nanjiang City. At this time, the invitation was already with him. When he met Kong Yang yesterday, Kong Yang had already given it to him.
"Young Master, where are we going?" Zhou Han asked after walking out of Nanjiang City.
"To your Zhou Clan. We'll deal with your second brother first," Lin Long said directly.
He didn't want what happened last night to happen again. Previously, Lin Long had indeed asked Zhou Han to write a letter back to the Zhou Clan to inform the Zhou Clan about the cooperation.
It was also because of this that Zhou Han's second brother heard the news and came back to plot against them.
The reason why Linlong asked Zhou Han to write such a letter was because he wanted to give the Soul Calming Pill recipe to the Zhou family. After all, Zhou Han would become the family head sooner or later. At that time, the Zhou family would belong to Linlong.
Of course, Lin Long didn't intend to give the complete pill formula to the Zhou Clan for the time being. Instead, he gave them some pill formulas that could still be used to concoct the Spirit Soothing Pill. However, the effects would be much worse than before.
Soon, the group entered Yongjiang City.
At this time, Lin Long said to Uncle Ling, "Zhou Ling, can you ask Zhou Bing to come out?"
Zhou Bing was naturally Zhou Han's second brother.
"Young Master, it's possible," Uncle Ling nodded.
"Alright, then go and give it a try," Lin Long nodded.
Zhou Ling immediately walked towards the courtyard where Zhou Bing was. Soon, he saw Zhou Bing.
"Uncle Ling, you're back. How's the matter?" Zhou Bing was elated when he saw Zhou Ling.
"It's done. The alchemist has also been caught. Since it's not easy to bring him in, I asked Guo Xing to wait in the inn outside," Zhou Ling replied.
"Bring me to see him immediately!" Zhou Bing immediately said.
"Yes!" Zhou Ling nodded.
After that, the two of them left the courtyard and walked towards the inn that Zhou Ling mentioned.
Not long after, they arrived at the Quiet Residence Inn. Zhou Ling brought Zhou Bing into one of the rooms.
The moment they entered the room, a few people suddenly appeared and surrounded Zhou Bing.
Because he trusted Zhou Ling, Zhou Bing didn't bring anyone else with him.
The few people surrounding him were naturally Lin Long, Zhou Han, Zhou Ba, and the rest.
The moment he saw Zhou Han, Zhou Bing's expression changed. He knew that he had been tricked. He immediately looked at Zhou Ling and said coldly, "Zhou Ling, how dare you betray me?"
"Second Young Master, a wise man submits to circumstances," Zhou Ling said expressionlessly.
"Hehe," Zhou Bing sneered.
At this moment, Zhou Han said coldly, "Second Brother, your plan is really good. You actually want to snatch my people away!"
"Big Brother, the winner takes all. I have nothing to say!" Zhou Bing clenched his teeth.
"You are my Second Brother. I won't do anything to you. However, I must tell this matter to Father!" Zhou Han said with an indifferent face.
Since he wanted to cooperate with the Zhou Family, he must meet the Zhou Family's Patriarch. That was why Lin Long asked Zhou Han to do this.
If he told this matter to the Zhou Family's Patriarch, it would be impossible for Zhou Bing to fight for the position of Patriarch. In this way, no one in the Zhou Family could stop Zhou Han.
Soon, they saw the Zhou Family's Patriarch.
"Han 'er, why did you bring your Second Brother in like this?" Seeing that the situation was not right, the Zhou Family's Patriarch couldn't help but ask.
"Father, Second Brother sent people to Nanjiang City to snatch my people away …" Zhou Han immediately explained what happened.
"Zhou Bing, you disappoint me." Hearing Zhou Han's words, the Zhou Family's Patriarch couldn't help but shake his head.
Although he valued Zhou Han more, he did not reduce the amount of training he gave Zhou Bing. Who would have thought that Zhou Bing would do such a thing?
The Zhou Family's Patriarch then announced that Zhou Bing would be confined for a year.
After the people brought Zhou Bing away, Lin Long, Zhou Han, and the Zhou Family's Patriarch sat at the same table.
"Father, this is Young Master Lin. He agreed to give the Spirit Tranquil Pill formula to our Zhou Family." Zhou Han introduced.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin. May I know what reward Young Master Lin wants?" The Zhou Family's Patriarch immediately said.
He naturally knew the value of this pill formula.
"As for the reward, just let Zhou Ling follow by my side." Lin Long said with an indifferent face.
"Alright." The Zhou Family's Patriarch said without hesitation.
This kind of pill formula was not something that an expert who could activate a Grade 4 Ice Talisman could compare to.
After staying here for a while, Lin Long left with Zhou Ling. His next stop was naturally the Mask Academy.
