There were a total of eight of them. Other than an old man, the rest were young people. That old man's eyes glittered. Clearly, he was a Martial Lord, and it was likely that he brought a group of young people to compete like Elder Lian He.
However, the person who stood at the very front was clearly not the old man, but a young man full of arrogance. It seemed that the young man's position within the power was not low.
Of course, his strength was not bad as well. Linlong could tell with a glance that his strength had reached the peak of the ninth level of Martial Master. Clearly, he was the strongest person within the young people.
"Oh, Elder Lian He, long time no see." The young man looked straight at Elder Lian He and said with a strange tone.
"Young School Head An, I'm afraid it's been half a year since we last met." Elder Lian He said with a light smile.
The young man's tone was so unkind, yet Elder Lian He appeared so kind. It did not match his status as someone from the Thousand Beasts School. It was likely that the power behind the young man was very large, and he had some conflicts with Elder Lian He, or even the Thousand Beasts School. Linlong, who was on the side, naturally saw that.
"It must be hard for Elder Lian He to remember it so clearly. However, isn't there too few people from the Thousand Beasts School this time?" As he spoke, Young School Head An shifted his gaze onto Linlong, then sneered, "Moreover, the ones who came are trash like this? Aren't you afraid of losing face for your Thousand Beasts School? Thinking back, your Thousand Beasts School was quite arrogant back then right?"
The Dantian Record that Linlong cultivated had the effect of concealing his aura. So, how could Young School Head An see Linlong's strength? If he knew Linlong was a Martial Lord, even if he had ten more guts, he wouldn't dare to speak so recklessly!
However, Linlong didn't bother paying attention to him. After all, if he had to teach a lesson to every single person like that, he would be too busy and he wouldn't even need to cultivate.
"That's right. It's trash like this that came. Not being able to get first place in the competition is a small matter. Losing face for your Thousand Beasts School is a big matter!"
"From what I see, the Thousand Beasts School has simply withered. Not even a single young person can be found."
"Hahaha, I'm afraid all the males in the Thousand Beasts School have been sterilized, so there isn't even a single decent disciple!"
… …
For a moment, the young man beside Young Sect Master An burst into laughter and mocked him. The contempt in their words showed that they did not put Elder Lian He in their eyes at all.
Upon hearing their words, Elder Lian He's expression immediately turned ugly. However, he did not lose his temper and chose to back down.
"Young Sect Master An, we just arrived and still have to go register. Excuse us." Elder Lian He said with a face of forbearance.
After saying that, he took a step forward, wanting to bypass these people.
Who would have thought that Young Sect Leader An would stand in front of him.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Elder Lian He. How can old friends not catch up when they meet?" Young Sect Master An said.
This Young Sect Master An had suffered under the hands of Elder Lian He before. Today, with the Sect's Elder Fang by his side, his strength was much stronger than Lian He. What's more, Lian He had no one by his side, not even a decent helper. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to teach Elder Lian He a lesson?
"Old fart, weren't you very awe-inspiring back then? Why are you so spineless now? "
Seeing that Elder Lian He backed down, these young people became even more insatiable.
The tit-for-tat between the two groups naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding people. In a short period of time, there were already many people surrounding them.
"Young Sect Master An, you should teach this old fart a lesson."
"Young Sect Master An, the strength of this Thousand Beasts Sect's old fart is nothing much. A few days ago, his group was actually beaten up by a young man in public. What a disgrace."
"Young Sect Master An, I support you!"
Seeing that it was Young Sect Master An, many people immediately cheered. Obviously, this Young Sect Master An's reputation in the North Yue City was not weak.
Seeing such a situation, Elder Lian He's expression changed again. Normally, he would definitely explode, but he did not know whether it was because of Lin Long recently or because of some other reason, he chose to endure it now.
He could endure it, but the young people beside Young Sect Master An could not. They did not dare to use force against Elder Lian He, after all, Elder Lian He's strength was obvious.
Therefore, they picked up a soft persimmon like Lin Long.
"Elder Lian He, how about I, Fang Wei, take a look at your Thousand Beasts Sect's disciple?" A young man who seemed to want to gain merit in front of Young Sect Master An took two steps forward and grabbed at Lin Long.
For some reason, seeing that this young man did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and attacked Lin Long, Elder Lian He's face actually showed a trace of satisfaction.
Seeing that these people wanted a yard after being given an inch, Lin Long originally wanted to teach them a lesson, but who would have thought that they would make the first move.
This was naturally to his liking. Seeing that the other party's strength was coming towards him, he suddenly smiled and reached out his hand to grab at the other party.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Seeing that Lin Long actually dared to go head-on against their own people, these young people could not help but reveal a mocking expression.
However, they quickly realized that they were wrong, because in the next moment, when all the strength was dispersed, Fang Wei's fist was directly grabbed tightly by the other party.
At the same time, there was a "kacha kacha" sound. It seemed that after this grab, the other party directly crushed Fang Wei's fist.
Subsequently, Fang Wei's miserable shriek immediately resounded in the surrounding space.
This scene caused Young Sect Master An to be shocked, and he even subconsciously took a few steps back. The other young people also did the same. They did not expect Lin Long to be so ruthless, using such a ruthless move in a single move.
The only one who did not retreat was the old man. His face darkened, and just as he was about to teach the arrogant Lin Long a lesson, a figure directly flew towards him.
It was Lin Long who had casually thrown Fang Wei over. After all, Fang Wei was on their side, so the old man could only stretch out his hand to catch Fang Wei.
The moment he stopped, Young Sect Master An, who had just retreated, had already pounced towards Lin Long.
After being frightened by Lin Long in public, Young Sect Master An felt that he had lost the face he had accumulated over the years, so he naturally wanted to regain his face when he regained his senses.
After all, he did not think much of Lin Long's strength.
However, he did not dare to be careless after Lin Long's previous move, so he immediately used his best move.
"He angered the Cloud Sky Sect's young sect master. This disciple from the Thousand Beasts Sect is finished." For a moment, such thoughts flashed through the minds of the surrounding spectators.
After all, Young Sect Leader An could be said to be the one who had the highest chance of becoming Towering Firmament Palace Master Wan Ping's son-in-law out of all the young geniuses who participated in the tournament. How could an unknown disciple from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect compare to him?
In their opinion, Lin Long would definitely be subdued by Young Sect Master An in a single move, and he would definitely end up in a miserable state.
Although Ling Xiao Palace forbade such private fights within Beiyue City during the competition, it was a different story if the one who made the move was a force like the Cloud Sky Sect. Ling Xiao Palace would definitely turn a blind eye to it, even if it was a disciple from the Thousand Beasts Sect who was injured.
Not to mention, someone from Ling Xiao Palace was also injured.
Just when everyone thought that Young Sect Master An would ruthlessly teach the arrogant disciple from the Thousand Beasts Sect a lesson, a deafening roar suddenly rang out.
"The competition is imminent, no one is allowed to fight in Beiyue City!"
As soon as the voice fell, an incomparably powerful profound energy immediately pierced between Lin Long and Young Sect Master An.
Knowing that he would definitely be injured if he did not withdraw his profound energy, Young Sect Master An could only helplessly withdraw his profound energy and retreat.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Long did not use any profound energy. In the eyes of some of the surrounding spectators, Lin Long was scared out of his wits. Only Elder Lian He knew that Young Sect Master An had simply dodged a calamity.
Looking at the elder who sent out such a palm strike, Lin Long could not help but feel somewhat speechless. This was because this elder was the same Elder Gu Yun who had previously stopped him from fighting with the disciple from the Thousand Beasts Sect in the inn.
After sending out a palm strike and resolving a dispute, Elder Gu Yun still had an upright and plainspoken expression on his face.
"Elder Gu Yun, it was the disciple from the Thousand Beasts Sect who attacked our disciple first. Look …" As he spoke, Young Sect Master An directly pulled the injured Fang Wei over to let Gu Yun examine his injuries.
He did not want to suffer such a huge loss for no reason.
Who would have thought that Gu Yun would not even look at his injuries and directly said, "The competition is imminent. Young Sect Master An, please deal with such trivial matters after the competition."
Although he had just attacked, he already knew that it was the disciple from the Sky Cloud Sect who provoked him first. If it was not for the fact that the Sky Cloud Sect had a good relationship with Ling Xiao Palace and that Wan Ping had a good impression of An Yun, he would have directly pointed this out.
"Elder Gu Yun, this is not right …"
An Yun's face sank. Just when he was about to say something, Elder Fang suddenly said, "Young Sect Master, just give Elder Gu Yun some face."
The reason they came to Beiyue City was to let An Yun participate in the competition and become the son-in-law of Ling Xiao Palace's Wan Ping. He did not want to become enemies with the Ling Xiao Palace because of this matter. As for the youth from the Thousand Beasts Sect, he had a hundred ways to deal with him.
An Yun respected Elder Fang very much. Since Elder Fang had also said so, he could only choose to temporarily compromise.
"Fine, Elder Gu Yun. Today, our Sky Cloud Sect will give you some face." Speaking up to this point, he suddenly turned around and coldly stared at Linlong. "However, you are going to be in trouble in the future … Let's go!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked towards the direction of the stage.
For An Yun, he similarly had many ways to deal with Linlong.
"Thank you, Elder Gu Yun." Linlong turned around and smiled at Gu Yun.
He knew that Gu Yun did not have a good impression of him. Gu Yun was just doing his job impartially. However, it was also this point that made Linlong a little interested in him.
Everyone liked to listen to flattery. Therefore, even though Gu Yun did not mean to help Linlong, after hearing Linlong's words, his serious face still softened a little. He opened his mouth and said, "The competition is about to begin. Hurry up and register. If you are late, you won't be able to make it."
Subsequently, Linlong and Elder Lian He followed behind Gu Yun and walked towards the direction of the stage.
