Elder Liang and the others guessed correctly. Zhou Yingxue and the others were in the maze.
However, they were very confused. Apart from not seeing Lin Long, they also realized that the maze was extremely complicated. They had no idea where the exit was.
"How did we end up in this labyrinth?" Shen Jun, who had already recovered his senses, could not help but ask this question.
"I think it has something to do with Young Master Lin. If it wasn't for him, Elder Liang and the others would have fallen in with us. We wouldn't have been able to escape from Elder Liang and the others' pursuit," Yao Lei said.
"I also think it has something to do with Young Master Lin." Elder Wang nodded.
"But if it really has something to do with Young Master Lin, why didn't we see him after we fell in?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Perhaps Young Master Lin was somewhere else and couldn't make it in time. As long as we're still here, he will definitely be able to find us. Right now, we have to figure out the situation here and try our best to avoid bumping into Elder Liang and the others who might have entered with us," Elder Wang said.
Immediately, everyone began to search around carefully.
Not long after, they suddenly heard footsteps in front of them.
This voice immediately caused the heartbeats of Elder Wang and the others to quicken. If it was either Elder Liang or Elder Hu who came over, it would be dangerous.
"Don't make a sound!" Elder Wang whispered.
They could only stay where they were because they would definitely be discovered if they moved with so many of them.
However, what made their expressions turn ugly was that the other party seemed to have locked on to their location and was walking in their direction.
Elder Wang thought to himself, 'We can only fight them head-on.'
He immediately gestured for Zhou Yingxue and the others to get ready. Soon, a person appeared before them.
Seeing this person, their faces immediately lit up with joy because this person was none other than Lin Long, whom they had been looking for.
"Big Brother Lin Long, this is great! I finally found you!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but cry out in joy when she saw Lin Long.
"Zhang Yue, why are you here too? Aren't you just causing trouble for everyone?" Lin Long said with a cold expression.
His words naturally made Zhang Yue unhappy.
Zhou Yingxue quickly said, "Young Master Lin, if it wasn't for Miss Zhang Yue, I would most likely still be in the hands of those thieves."
"That's right, big brother Linlong. Zhang Yue is of great use to me," said Zhang Yue.
"Is that so." Linlong nodded.
At this moment, Linlong naturally had many questions in his mind. However, before he could ask, Shen Jun could not help but ask, "Brother Lin, were you the one who activated the mechanism just now? Is it because of you that we fell into this maze? "
"That's right." Linlong nodded. "I was the one who activated the mechanism. At that time, I was in the maze. When I heard the commotion outside and determined that it was you guys, I immediately activated the mechanism … Fortunately, there was a mechanism at that location, otherwise I might not have been able to help you guys … Due to the complexity of the maze, it took me a long time to find you guys after I activated it."
"Young master Lin, you really activated the mechanism in time. We were already trapped at that time. If it wasn't for you, we might have already fallen into the hands of Elder Liang's group." Yang Sheng couldn't help saying.
"That's right." The others couldn't help but agree with lingering fear.
"Brother Lin, what about Elder Liang and the others? Did they follow us into the maze?" Shen Jun asked.
"Yes, they've already entered." Linlong nodded.
"Isn't that very dangerous!" Hearing this, the crowd naturally became worried again.
Linlong said, "Don't worry, it won't be easy for them to find us. Furthermore, we aren't that easy to deal with."
"Young master Lin, you can't underestimate them. Elder Liang and Elder Hu are both experts who can activate Grade 5 Ice Talismans. We have no chance of victory against them." Shi Xu couldn't help saying.
"Don't worry, I can already activate Grade 5 Ice Talismans. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with them." Linlong smiled.
"What? Young master, you can already activate Grade 5 Ice Talismans?! "Hearing his words, the crowd couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They didn't expect Linlong to grasp Grade 5 Ice Talismans in such a short period of time. If news of this were to spread, the eyeballs of the entire Ice Peak Country would probably fall out of their sockets.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Young master, you're really too amazing!"
The crowd couldn't help but sigh. The ones who sighed the most were naturally Elder Wang and the other experts. They didn't know how much time they had spent to obtain their current strength. Who would have thought that Linlong would surpass them in such a short period of time?
Seeing Yao Lei's injuries, Linlong couldn't help but ask, "Yes, Yao Lei seems to have been injured for quite some time. How were you able to withstand the attacks of those experts in such a situation?"
"This is all thanks to Miss Zhou. She was the one who activated the joint attack technique with us, allowing us to barely block Elder Hu's attack. Otherwise, before you could activate the mechanism, we would have already fallen into their hands," Elder Wang said.
"What? Miss Zhou, you're able to activate the joint attack technique?" Hearing those words, Linlong couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He really did not expect Zhou Yingxue to be able to activate a joint attack with Elder Wang and the others despite the huge difference in their abilities. Moreover, they were obviously fighting against a powerful cultivator who could activate a level-five ice talisman.
"It's all thanks to the Absolute Silence Rune that you taught me. Otherwise, how could I have grasped the joint attack technique?" Zhou Yingxue said with a humble expression.
"Big brother Linlong taught you the Absolute Silence Rune? Aren't you supposed to grasp the Absolute Silence Rune on your own? "Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask.
Elder Wang and the others felt the same. Linlong hadn't told them about this before.
"I didn't grasp it on my own …" Zhou Yingxue shook her head and explained the general situation.
"It can't be. You can grasp the Absolute Silence Rune in such a way? Young Master Lin, you're really too amazing!" Elder Wang and the others couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
In the next moment, Zhang Yue said, "Big brother Linlong, you can't be biased. You have to teach me the Absolute Silence Rune as well!"
Elder Wang couldn't help but say, "You've already grasped the Absolute Silence Rune. Logically speaking, it's impossible for you to comprehend other Absolute Silence Runes."
"That's not the case." Linlong shook his head and said, "The Absolute Silence Rune can actually be changed. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to tell me all the runes that you've comprehended. Only then will I be able to choose the ones that are suitable for you. That way, your strength will be much stronger than it is now!"
Hearing him say that, apart from Zhou Yingxue and Shen Jun, everyone present was overjoyed.
"However, Miss Zhou, why did you come here?" Linlong then asked the question that had been bothering him in his heart.
He didn't think that Zhou Yingxue had come here just to look for him like Zhang Yue.
"I know of other ways to leave the Catacombs. That's why I took the risk to come here … After all, the exit of the Catacombs has been surrounded by the powerhouses of the academy. It's impossible for you to leave from there," Zhou Yingxue said.
"Oh, is there another way to leave?" Linlong's eyes lit up.
He naturally knew that it was impossible to leave from the exit of the Catacombs unless he made peace with the Mask Academy. However, the problem was that he had the Purple Fire Talisman, so the Mask Academy basically wouldn't make peace with him.
Therefore, he was naturally happy to hear that there was another way.
Zhou Yingxue nodded and said, "There is. You'll know when you come with me, Young Master Lin."
"Alright, then let's leave this maze first." Linlong nodded.
"Oh, Big Brother Linlong, you know how to leave?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask.
"I know, but looking at the current situation, we'll meet those people no matter what … Hmm, you mentioned Elder Liang and Elder Hu just now. Are they the powerhouses among those people who can activate the Level 5 Ice Talisman?" Linlong asked.
He had been in the palace all this time, so naturally, he didn't know the situation outside.
"That's right, they're the powerhouses among those people who can activate the Level 5 Ice Talisman, and they're the only two of them."
"That Elder Liang isn't from our academy. He was sent by the Yang family …"
The crowd immediately began to explain. After listening to them, Linlong naturally understood.
It was also at this moment that there was a sudden noise from the right. It seemed that someone was walking toward them.
Hearing this noise, Linlong couldn't help but feel a little curious. "Those people can actually walk directly toward us."
"They're two powerhouses who can activate the Level 5 Ice Talisman. If we directly meet them, we won't be their match!" Yao Lei couldn't help but worry.
Linlong smiled. "Don't worry, they've split into two groups. In other words, we'll at most meet one powerhouse who can activate the Level 5 Ice Talisman."
"If that's the case, won't our chances of victory be much higher?" Hearing his words, a smile naturally appeared on everyone's faces.
"From the looks of it, it'll probably take some time before they meet us. Let's directly meet them," Linlong said.
After speaking, he led everyone towards the source of the commotion.
Not long after, they saw seven or eight people. Elder Wang, Zhou Yingxue and the rest could see that the person leading the group was their academy's Elder Hu.
Seeing Linlong and the rest take the initiative to approach them, Elder Hu and the rest were naturally a little surprised.
However, when they thought of the fact that they could only use a combination attack, Elder Hu and the rest couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"You must be Linlong, right?" Looking at Linlong, Elder Hu said in a cold voice.
"Senior must be the academy's Elder Hu?" Linlong asked.
Without the introduction, Linlong could immediately tell that the person in front of him was Elder Hu. After all, Elder Hu was wearing the academy's elder robes.
"That's right, I am Elder Hu," Elder Hu said.
After saying that, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. He thought of the Purple Flame Talisman on Linlong.
If that thing was activated, he might not be able to take down these people.
Immediately, he said, "Linlong, do you still have Purple Flame Talismans on you?"
Seeing that the other party was clearly afraid of the Purple Flame Talisman, Linlong couldn't help but smile. "That's right, I still have Purple Flame Talismans on me."
The moment these words came out, Elder Hu and the rest couldn't help but take a step back. They clearly remembered the Third Elder's miserable state.
Linlong smiled again. "However, don't worry. Given your strength, you aren't worthy of me wasting Purple Flame Talismans."
These words immediately displeased Elder Hu. He coldly said, "Brat, do you think that you can deal with us with your strength? The most you can rely on is your combined attack technique. However, you are only able to activate the Fourth Grade Frost Talisman. No matter how strong your combined attack technique is, it is still built on the foundation of the Fourth Grade Frost Talisman. How can you possibly be a match for experts like us? "
Linlong indifferently said, "You're wrong. There is no need for them to use a combination attack. I alone can deal with you."
"Just you alone? Don't tell me that you can already control Grade 5 Ice Talismans? "Elder Hu was startled and hurriedly asked.
"That's right. I have already mastered Grade 5 Ice Talismans." Linlong nodded.
"Are you joking? Is it so easy to master Grade 5 Ice Talismans? If you really can master Grade 5 Ice Talismans, I will directly swallow the runic sword in my hand. "A person behind Elder Hu could not help but sneer.
Previously, Linlong could only activate Grade 4 Ice Talismans. How could he believe Linlong's words? Thus, he naturally began to mock him.
"If you can activate Grade 5 Ice Talismans, I will also eat the runic sword in my hand." A few people could not help but say.
"Is that so? Then you guys will definitely eat it." With a faint smile, Linlong took out a Grade 5 Ice Talisman.
This action naturally caused astonished expressions to surface on the faces of Elder Hu and the rest.
Elder Hu could not help but ask, "Don't tell me that you really have mastered Grade 5 Ice Talismans?"
"At this stage, do you think I'm joking, Elder Hu?" Linlong was still as indifferent as before.
Sensing that something was amiss, Elder Hu did not dare to underestimate Linlong anymore. He immediately took out his own Grade 5 Ice Talisman.
Then, he looked towards Linlong and said, "Brat, activate the Grade 5 Ice Talisman. Let me see whether you have the ability to do so!"
"As you wish!" Linlong opened his mouth.
After saying that, he began to silently recite some rune terms. In the next moment, the Grade 5 Ice Talisman in his hand immediately began to burn.
At this moment, Elder Hu and the rest were already so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
Since Linlong had already activated the Grade 5 Ice Talisman, they could no longer doubt him.
"This guy can really activate Grade 5 Ice Talisman!"
"How did he do it in such a short time?"
"Is he a genius among geniuses? The kind of genius that no one has ever seen before? "
… …
For a moment, all of them were amazed in their hearts.
They really did not expect Linlong to be able to do this. Some of them even thought that they were hallucinating. However, after carefully rubbing their eyes, they understood that Linlong could really activate Grade 5 Ice Talisman.
After confirming that Linlong could activate Grade 5 Ice Talisman, Elder Hu did not dare to be careless and immediately activated his Grade 5 Ice Talisman.
