With Linlong's strength, he quickly found the place where he had fallen. Although it was covered by dark clouds, Linlong could clearly see the entrance paved with bluestones.
At that moment, the entrance was naturally tightly shut. Without thinking, Linlong threw a punch at it.
With a loud boom, the entrance was blasted open, revealing a large hole that was three feet wide. Linlong spread his wings and flew into the hole.
A smile appeared on Linlong's face as soon as he entered the hole. This was because the hall from before was right in front of him.
At this moment, the lady in palace attire had already appeared in front of him.
The lady in palace attire still had an indifferent expression on her face, but with Linlong's sharp senses, he could clearly see the hint of surprise hidden in her eyes.
"I didn't expect you to return so quickly," the lady in palace attire said.
Although she was surprised, she still didn't think much of Linlong.
"Yes, I'm back," Linlong said indifferently.
"Since you're back, you should have brought the True Phoenix Blood that I entrusted you with, right?" The lady in palace attire asked.
There was an unconcealable fervor in her eyes as she spoke, and her body even began to tremble slightly.
"I found the True Phoenix Blood, but I only had one portion, so I consumed it myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to fly here." Linlong smiled.
"You … you're courting death!" The lady in palace attire was furious.
However, she still did not give up hope, so she suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, "You're lying to me, right? You should have another portion of the True Phoenix Blood!"
From the lady's point of view, Linlong definitely had another portion. Otherwise, he would have been killed by her out of anger.
"I really don't." Linlong shook his head.
"Haha, since you don't have it, then what's the use of keeping you!" The lady in palace attire was furious.
She furiously attacked Linlong with her sword.
Although she did not use her full strength, Linlong could tell at a glance that the lady in palace attire was also a level-eight beast.
"Tsk tsk, you're actually a level-eight beast," Linlong said indifferently.
As he spoke, he also struck out with his palm in an indifferent manner. However, it was such a casual strike that directly dissipated the woman's sword aura.
"You're actually that strong!" A look of surprise appeared on the woman's face.
"I forgot that you wouldn't have been able to fly up here if you weren't that strong. Besides, you're not from the Cangyun Continent!"
"It seems that you're from the Cangyun Continent. As for why you're hiding here, it's probably because there's a problem with your True Phoenix Bloodline and you can't fly back to the Cangyun Continent, right?" Linlong asked.
The woman in the palace dress narrowed her eyes as she said, "I'm really jealous of you. I didn't expect you to be able to see through this!"
After a short pause, she continued, "Looks like you're much stronger than I imagined!"
A trace of graveness appeared on her face after she finished speaking. However, this expression quickly disappeared. After all, she was an eighth grade beast, a peak expert of the Cangyun Continent.
"Let me see exactly how strong you are!" the woman in the palace dress said again.
As soon as she finished speaking, she attacked Linlong again. This time, it was unknown how many times stronger it was than the previous attack.
However, she was astonished once more because Linlong had still easily dealt with her attack.
"It seems that I'll have to use the Phoenix Bloodline!" She said. This time, her expression was incomparably solemn.
As soon as she finished speaking, a phoenix appeared behind her. The phoenix looked just as vivid and lifelike.
However, Linlong could see the problem with a single glance. The phoenix's aura was clearly lacking.
If it truly existed, then it would be a wounded phoenix.
"It seems that I was right. There's a problem with your Phoenix Bloodline." Linlong smiled indifferently.
"Hehe, even if there's a problem, it's more than enough to deal with you!" The woman in the palace dress sneered.
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure moved. The phoenix behind her pounced at Linlong like a giant beast that blotted out the sky.
"Too weak." Linlong shook his head.
"Weak? It seems that you don't know how to spell the word 'death'! "The woman in the palace dress said angrily.
As she roared, the phoenix became even more berserk.
Compared to it, Linlong was as insignificant as an ant.
But even so, Linlong still struck out with a casual palm strike.
This palm strike shocked the woman in the palace dress once again. Although it seemed light, the energy that was triggered was incomparably powerful. The woman in the palace dress only felt a gust of wind assaulting her.
"Rumble!"
Then, with a series of explosions, the phoenix silhouette was instantly destroyed.
An invisible force struck the woman in the palace dress and sent her flying. She crashed heavily into the wall behind her.
Puuu …
She spat out a mouthful of blood and barely managed to stand.
"How did you suddenly become so strong?" She asked in disbelief.
She was the one who had personally thrown Linlong down, so she couldn't be any more aware of his strength. Naturally, she was extremely shocked.
"I became stronger because I became stronger … You won't understand the reason behind it even if I told you," Linlong said indifferently.
"I lost." After a while, the woman in the palace dress said dejectedly, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."
With that, she stood in front of Linlong, completely defenseless.
Linlong lost the desire to kill a woman like this. He said, "What is your status in the Cangyun Continent?"
Linlong could tell at a glance that the woman had an extraordinary background.
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore. I was once a princess of the Rain Country … I have a daughter, she is the fifth princess of the Rain Country." Speaking up to here, she glanced at Linlong.
"Your daughter is the fifth princess, what a coincidence." Hearing this, the corner of Linlong's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He had always felt that the woman in the palace dress resembled someone, and now hearing this, he immediately remembered that she was extremely similar to the fifth princess.
"Oh, have you seen my daughter? Is … is she well?" The woman couldn't help but become nervous.
"Yes, she almost wanted to kill me at that time. You two really have a deep grudge against me," Linlong said.
From the woman's words and appearance, she could tell that she wasn't lying, even if she didn't know much about the fifth princess of the Rain Country.
"Young Master, you must be joking. With your strength, how could my daughter be a match for you?" the woman in the palace dress hurriedly said.
Speaking of her own daughter, she didn't dare to be disrespectful to Linlong anymore, and even tried to curry favor with him.
"You don't know, my strength has just undergone an earth-shattering change. Before, I wasn't a match for your daughter at all." Linlong shook his head.
"Then, how could your strength undergo such a change in such a short time? Did you take some medicine?" The woman in the palace dress said as she looked at Linlong, then shook her head, "No, medicine has strong side effects. From the looks of it, you don't seem to have any side effects at all."
"I'll say it again, you won't understand even if I say it," Linlong said. "Alright, I won't waste words with you."
"Young Master, please kill me. If the fifth princess also offended you, then I'll take the blame as well. Please don't kill her," the woman said.
"Forget it, I have no interest in killing you, nor your daughter. Otherwise, she would have died in my hands," Linlong said.
"Thank you, Young Master." The woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll be a good person until the end. I'll carry you back to the Cangyun Continent. What do you think?" Linlong asked.
He didn't know how the woman in palace dress had allowed him to fall down without suffering any serious injuries, but he could tell that she couldn't reach the bottom safely. Otherwise, she would have left long ago.
Of course, there was another possibility.
"Thank you, Young Master," the woman immediately said with joy.
She shook her head after saying this, "Even if I can reach the bottom, I won't be able to live for long. Due to the lack of my Phoenix Bloodline, I can only stay in this dark underground world. Once I leave this place, I'll die from blood loss."
"I see," Linlong nodded.
Upon hearing the other party's words, he naturally knew what the reason was.
He then smiled, "You don't have to worry about that. I'm a powerful alchemist, and I have this medicine on me. You won't have to worry about not being able to leave this place after taking it."
If he had known this would happen, he would have given the medicine to the woman straight away. It was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a fusion.
"Even if you're a powerful alchemist, there's no way you can refine a medicine that can restrain my symptoms," the woman said doubtfully.
She had spent a lot of effort and sought out countless famous doctors in the Cangyun Continent, but none of them could treat her symptoms. Thus, she could only come here.
After many years of research, she finally discovered a way to treat her symptoms with True Phoenix Blood. Otherwise, she would have tried it long ago on the Cangyun Continent.
However, she couldn't go back after discovering it. Fortunately, Linlong came, so she threw him down. She didn't hold much hope in the beginning. After all, True Phoenix Blood wasn't something that could be obtained easily.
Of course, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble if she knew that Linlong had the medicine on him.
"You're wrong. It's only because the alchemists of the Cangyun Continent aren't good enough." Linlong shook his head. He took out a pill and threw it to the woman.
After receiving the elixir from Lin Long, the lady carefully examined it for a moment before swallowing it. A few breaths later, a joyous expression appeared on her face. She discovered that her body had clearly improved. Evidently, this elixir was effective.
"Alright, take your time to recuperate. I'll be leaving first," Linlong said.
"Thank you, young master!" The woman said.
She knelt down and kowtowed to Linlong.
She was truly grateful. If it wasn't for Linlong, she wouldn't have had the chance to return to the Cangyun Continent.
Linlong didn't say anything else and left.
There was still a large group of scorpions outside. However, they no longer attacked Linlong like before. Instead, they were all pushed to the side, creating a path for Linlong.
With a faint smile, Linlong walked forward. His footsteps seemed slow, but he soon disappeared from the woman's line of sight.
Along the way, he encountered the same ferocious beasts as before. However, how could these ferocious beasts threaten the current Linlong? They were all easily killed by him.
It didn't take long for Linlong to leave the underground world and return to the outside world.
I wonder if Elder Mo and the others are still in the stone house. Linlong muttered to himself when he came out.
It had been a long time since they last met. Moreover, Elder Mo and the others were much weaker than Mo Gaoming. Linlong was naturally worried that they would be captured by Mo Gaoming and the others.
If they were caught, they would definitely be in deep trouble. At best, they would be imprisoned. At worst, they would be killed or even reduced to slaves.
Linlong used his fastest speed and quickly arrived in front of the stone house.
After a few glances, a smile appeared on Linlong's face. It was obvious that this place was frequented by people. Elder Mo and the others were probably still here.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility of others. Therefore, Linlong wasn't completely at ease.
Knock, knock, knock …
After a few light knocks, the stone door opened, revealing an elderly face. Who else could it be but Mo Wensong?
Mo Wensong was obviously stunned when he saw Linlong. Then, he exclaimed in joy, "Mister Lin … You … You're still alive!"
Mo Wensong couldn't believe it. After not seeing Linlong for so long, he thought that Linlong had died in the underground world. Who would have thought that Linlong was actually still alive?
"I'm lucky, so I'm still alive," Linlong said with a smile.
"Mister Lin, after escaping by a fluke, I went to the underground world a few more times. Unfortunately, I wasn't a match for those scorpions and returned without any success. However, I didn't give up. I thought that I would go again when I became stronger. Who would have thought that you would come back … Heaven really has eyes!" Mo Wensong sighed.
"Where are Zhu Yun and Zhao Yu?" Linlong asked.
"They're inside," Mo Wensong said. "Come in quickly. If you're discovered, you'll be threatened. Look at me. When I see you, I completely forget all my threats!"
As he spoke, Mo Wensong pulled Linlong inside.
After walking inside, Linlong saw Zhu Yun and Zhao Yu.
When the two of them saw Linlong, they were wild with joy and rushed forward to hug Linlong.
"Mister Lin, I didn't expect to see you again!" The two of them couldn't help but shed tears.
"What are you crying for? Aren't I still fine?" Linlong said with a smile.
"What's the situation now? Didn't Mo Gaoming send anyone to look for you?" Linlong asked.
"He has been looking for us. Fortunately, this place is hidden enough and we were careful enough, so he didn't find us," Zhao Yu said.
"I see." Linlong nodded.
"However, we can't keep staying here. We were planning to find a way to leave. Now that you're back, it's even better," Zhu Yun said.
"Leave? That won't be necessary." Linlong laughed.
"Why is that?" Elder Mo and the other two looked at Linlong with a puzzled expression.
"To settle the score with Mo Gaoming, of course!" Linlong's face darkened.
"It's just that we are no match for the Great Blood Poison Technique!" Mo Wensong couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry. No matter how strong his Great Blood Poison Technique is, he won't be a match for me!" Linlong said directly.
"Why do you say so?" Elder Mo and the other two looked at Linlong doubtfully.
Although Linlong was powerful, they didn't feel much of a powerful aura from him.
But in the next moment, they were overjoyed because Linlong's body emitted an incomparably powerful aura. This aura was completely comparable to that of the world's top powerhouses.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "Sir, you're really amazing. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, it hasn't been that long. How did you suddenly undergo such a drastic change?"
"Yeah, Sir Lin, you're really amazing!" Mo Wensong also praised.
Zhu Yun's eyes were also sparkling.
"It's a long story. Let's go deal with Mo Gaoming first," Linlong said.
"It's just that Mo Gaoming's Great Blood Poison Technique is really too powerful. Sir, you may not be a match for him!" Mo Wensong was worried again.
After suffering from the Great Blood Poison Technique, the Great Blood Poison Technique was already invincible in his heart.
"Don't worry, that Great Blood Poison Technique is useless against me now," Linlong said fearlessly.
Seeing that Linlong was so confident, Mo Wensong and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's go out together," Linlong said.
"Sir, it's better for us to lure Mo Gaoming out first. If we go in like this and get surrounded by his people, we'll be in trouble!" Mo Wensong said worriedly.
"Elder Mo, don't worry. Even if so many of them attack together, they won't be a match for me!" Linlong said helplessly.
Hearing Linlong say so, Mo Wensong didn't say anything.
Then, Linlong left with the three of them and headed for Mo Shi City.
"Sir, they'll wait for you outside. Their strength is too weak. If they go in with you, they'll only drag you down. If anything happens, you won't even be able to escape … As for me, I'll go in and support you," Mo Wensong said.
"Ahem, Elder Mo, don't worry. Even if you don't make a move, they won't be able to do anything to you later," Linlong said.
If it weren't for the fact that they were men and women, Linlong would have directly flown to Mo Shi City with the three of them.
"Who are you …" At this moment, someone discovered them and quickly walked over.
This person quickly cried out in alarm. "You are Mo Wensong …"
Amidst such a cry, this person turned around and ran. He knew that even if there were a hundred of him, he wouldn't be a match for the few people in front of him.
Linlong naturally wouldn't stop this person.
"Mo Wensong is here, and he even brought Lin Li, Zhao Yu, and the others!" That person shouted loudly as he ran. Soon, the entire Mo Shi City knew that Mo Wensong had brought Linlong and the others over.
"This Mo Wensong is really bold. He actually dared to come!"
"Don't they know the power of the family head's Great Blood Poison Technique?"
"I'm afraid they're here to die!"
"He's also a family head. Who would have thought that he would be so muddle-headed!"
…
Many people in Mo Shi City ridiculed Mo Wensong, Linlong, and the others.
Mo Gaoming received this piece of news amidst these voices.
"Hahaha, this is great. Since they actually dare to come to die, then this family head will send them on their way!" Hearing such news, Mo Gaoming laughed loudly. Then, he directly led his people in the direction of Linlong and the others.
Before Mo Gaoming and the others arrived, a group of people had already surrounded Linlong and the others.
In view of Linlong and the others' strength, these people only dared to surround them. They didn't dare to make a move.
Soon, Mo Gaoming descended from the sky and stood opposite Linlong and the others.
