"Xiangrong, you're exaggerating. I'm just reminding Brother Lin." Seeing that Zhao Xiangrong was so protective of Lin Long, Li Ying naturally did not dare to mention such a thing again.
Zhao Xiangrong snorted coldly and hugged Lin Long's arm even tighter.
Li Ying understood that Zhao Xiangrong was putting on a show for him. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only curse Lin Long in his heart and think of a way to teach him a lesson.
As for Elder Long and Elder Wang, they had originally wanted to give Zhao Xiangrong some advice. However, after seeing the situation, they could only hide their thoughts and think of a suitable time to do so.
Although the few of them appeared polite on the surface, they had ulterior motives in their hearts.
Although Zhao Xiangrong had caused such a turn of events, Lin Long had thought of another way. Thus, he was not worried that he would not be able to obtain the Flowerless Fruit.
While drinking tea, he could clearly feel the dense Spiritual Qi outside the room. He reckoned that the Flowerless Fruit was just outside the room in the courtyard.
After a while, when the time was ripe, Lin Long suggested going out to relieve himself.
Since Lin Long did not seem to be very strong, Elder Long and Elder Wang were not worried that he would cause trouble. Thus, they did not pay much attention to him.
As for Lin Long, he took advantage of this time to release the Flame Beast.
Although he could directly attack the two elders and Li Ying and snatch the Flowerless Fruit, it was more dangerous.
He did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to defeat them before Zhao Kuo arrived.
Thus, Lin Long chose another method.
His method was very simple. Just like when he entered Zhao Xiangrong's palanquin, he used a diversion method.
When he returned to the room to drink tea with Zhao Xiangrong and the others, the Flame Beast had already started a massacre outside. Apart from the two elders, there were more than a dozen martial artists at the eighth level of the Martial Master Realm and above.
However, these people were scattered all over the place. How could they be a match for the Flame Beast? Thus, the Flame Beast was not hindered at all. A series of screams rang out from outside.
Soon, a person with a face full of blood rushed to their room. Before he could enter, he had already fallen to the ground with a plop.
"There are powerful enemies outside … attacking …" After saying those few words, he directly fainted.
Elder Wang and Elder Long looked at each other.
Naturally, they could tell that the person who was able to kill so many people in such a short period of time was definitely an expert in the late stages of the Martial Lord realm.
"Elder Wang, I'll go out and take a look. You stay here and watch." After saying that, Elder Long immediately rushed out.
"Alright." When Elder Wang nodded, Elder Long's figure had already disappeared.
"To think that someone would dare to invade Mount Wu Hua. They are too audacious. Elder Long, I will go out and help Elder Long," Li Ying said with a face full of rage.
He was an expert at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Master realm, and he also had the Talisman Sealing Sword, Spirit Fire and other treasures on him. He, who felt that he could protect himself from the attacks of a Martial Lord, naturally wanted to show off in front of Zhao Xiangrong.
"Alright, Young Master Li, it would be good for you to go out and help out." Elder Wang nodded.
He knew Li Ying's strength, so he was at ease letting him go out. Of course, it was also because there seemed to be only one person outside. Otherwise, Li Ying would simply be throwing his life away.
"However, as the son-in-law of the Zhao Family, Lin Feng, it doesn't seem right for you to not go out, right?" After standing up, Li Ying intentionally said that.
In his opinion, Lin Long would definitely not dare to go out. If that happened, Zhao Xiangrong would definitely feel that he was at a disadvantage.
If Lin Long went out, it would be exactly what he wanted. In his opinion, with Lin Long's strength, going out would be equivalent to throwing his life away. Of course, at that time, he wouldn't mind helping Lin Long 'throw his life away'.
Lin Long lightly smiled, stood up, and said indifferently, "Since Young Master Li has invited me so warmly, how can I not go out?"
"That's good." A trace of a sinister smile appeared on Li Ying's face, then he walked out with large strides.
As for Lin Long, he naturally followed behind him.
Seeing that, Zhao Xiangrong hurriedly said. "I'll go as well."
She did not know why, but she had a feeling that if she let go, her fiancé, Lin Long, would fly away just like that. Hence, even though she knew that with her strength, she would only cause trouble if she went out, she still said that.
Not only did she say that, but she also stood up as she spoke.
After all, she was the young mistress of the Zhao Family. If anything happened to her, Elder Wang would definitely not be able to explain himself. Hence, when he saw her stand up, Elder Wang hurriedly blocked in front of her and said, "Young mistress, this is not child's play."
"No, I must go out," Zhao Xiangrong said resolutely.
With no other choice, Elder Wang could only sigh and apologize for offending her. Then, he directly struck the back of Zhao Xiangrong's head with his palm, knocking her out.
During this moment of delay, Li Ying's miserable cry suddenly came from outside. Thinking that the enemy had already killed their way out, Elder Wang was alarmed and quickly rushed out.
After dashing out of the door, he saw that it was completely empty. There was no one around. Puzzled, he circled around the area, and after confirming that there was no one around, he returned to the room.
After that, he opened the back door of the room worriedly.
When he looked back, his expression immediately changed. The Flowerless Fruit on the Flowerless Tree had already disappeared without a trace.
It was obvious that he had fallen for the enemy's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
While he was surprised, he was also extremely puzzled. The Flowerless Tree was protected by a runic array, so how did the enemy manage to pluck the Flowerless Fruit without anyone noticing?
Little did he know that with Linlong's attainments in runes, such a small runic array would not pose a problem to him.
While he was drinking tea in the room, Linlong had already used his powerful divine sense to understand the structure of the runic array. After leaving the room, he immediately knocked out Li Ying and activated his green wings to fly to the location of the Flowerless Fruit. After that, he destroyed the runic array in a very short period of time.
As for Li Ying, she did not even have the slightest ability to resist his sneak attack.
To be honest, he had to thank Li Ying. If it were not for Li Ying, who lured Elder Wang out, he would not have been able to destroy the runic array and obtain the Flowerless Fruit so easily.
After his astonishment, Elder Wang immediately looked around for any possible traces of the enemy. However, how could he see anyone?
Could it be that the enemy was an expert above the late stage Martial Lord realm? Could it be that he had already flown away from Mount Wuhua? Thinking of something, Elder Wang's complexion became incomparably unsightly.
As he thought of that, he hurriedly rushed out to find Elder Long. At that moment, Elder Long also rushed back from outside.
"Elder Long, the Flowerless Fruit has already been taken away by an expert," Elder Wang immediately shouted when he saw Elder Long.
"What?" Elder Long was instantly stupefied.
Elder Wang immediately recounted what had just happened, then asked, "Elder Long, did you see the enemy outside?"
Elder Long shook his head. "I circled around outside, but other than my subordinates, I did not see the slightest trace of the enemy."
"Could it be that the enemy is alone?" Elder Wang immediately said in shock.
"If that's the case, the enemy's strength is truly too terrifying," Elder Long said with a grave expression.
"Ahh, no matter what, the Flowerless Fruit has already been lost. I truly don't know how to face the city lord," Elder Wang said with a sigh.
Just at that moment, a figure suddenly descended from the sky. Seeing the nearby figure, the two couldn't help but shout out in joy. "City lord!"
The person who had come was naturally the city lord of Black Wind City, Zhao Kuo. When the Raging Flame Beast attacked the people outside, he had already received the alarm from the Runic Formation, so he immediately rushed over from Black Wind City.
Zhao Kuo was tall and robust, and his face was filled with a dignified expression.
"What's going on?" he asked with a dark expression as he walked over.
Needless to say, something big had already happened in Mount Wuhua. Right now, it was just a matter of seeing how big it was.
"City lord … the … the Flowerless Fruit has been stolen," Elder Wang quickly said.
"What?!" Zhao Kuo flew into a rage upon hearing that. "Who stole it?!"
The Flowerless Fruit had been nurtured for so long, and countless precious materials had been used, all for the sake of its maturity. Who would have thought it would be stolen before it even matured?
"I don't know." Elder Long and Elder Wang both shook their heads.
Seeing the two like this, Zhao Kuo immediately activated his wings and flew up into the sky to search, hoping to find the other party's silhouette.
After a long while, he helplessly descended from the sky.
Soon after, Elder Long and Elder Wang hurriedly told him everything in detail, including Lin Long, the future son-in-law of the Zhao family who had inexplicably appeared out of nowhere.
After listening to the two and slowly thinking about it, how could Zhao Kuo not know that the problem lay with this "son-in-law"?
Of course, the disappeared Li Ying was also a possibility, but the biggest suspect was still the "son-in-law".
Although the two elders said that this son-in-law didn't seem to be very strong, it was hard to guarantee that he wasn't working with someone else. Otherwise, how could he suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear?
Due to the urgency of the matter, he didn't have time to scold his daughter. Instead, he immediately led the others to search the entire Black Wind City.
While the group was searching for Lin Long and Li Ying, Lin Long had already brought Li Ying to a remote forest far away from Black Wind City.
On the way, other than worry, Li Ying also had a face full of astonishment. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand where Lin Feng got such a Runic Aircraft.
Apart from that, Lin Long's strength also shocked him. He was clearly younger than him, but his strength had already reached the Martial Lord realm.
