Linlong wasn't interested in doing missions. After all, he didn't need to earn points to enter the Demon-Subduing Pagoda like he did in the Purple Sun Sect.
Thus, he didn't plan on taking on those missions.
The next day, Murong Xue came to find him and asked Linlong if he wanted to take on a mission. Linlong dodged the question, and in the end, Murong Xue left angrily.
Linlong didn't take it to heart and just laughed it off.
Five or six days passed just like that. One day, Mo Tian suddenly came to visit.
After letting Mo Tian in, Linlong asked, "Mo Tian, what's the matter?"
"Brother Lin, it's like this. A good friend of mine discovered a ruin while doing a mission outside a few days ago. He was afraid that the ruin would be dangerous, so he asked me to find someone to go with him. The first person I thought of was you, Brother Lin," Mo Tian said excitedly.
"Ruin? Where is it? "Linlong asked.
"It's not far from Tianyan Mountain. Just a few mountains away," Mo Tian said.
As he spoke, he took out a strange object that looked like metal but wasn't completely metal. After passing it to Linlong, he said, "Here, this is what my friend got from there. He thought it looked strange, so he asked me to bring it over."
Linlong didn't care about the ruin Mo Tian mentioned. After all, even if there were ruins nearby, the things inside would have been taken away long ago. How could Mo Tian and the others have a chance?
However, when he saw what Mo Tian passed over, his eyes lit up because it seemed to be something used to make Rune Puppets.
Rune Puppets had already been lost in the Mutian Continent. He remembered that in his previous life, the Rune Puppet Technique only reappeared many years later.
Thus, the object in front of him immediately made him pay attention to the ruin Mo Tian mentioned.
The Rune Puppet in Linlong's mind was different from the Rune Skeletons he encountered in the Secret Realm of Chu Xi Town. The Rune Skeletons' energy mainly came from Runic Formations, but this Rune Puppet was different. Its energy came from a special crystal.
"Then, when do you plan to set off?" Linlong, who had his heart in his mouth, asked.
"My friend said he'll leave once he finds enough people. I only asked you, Brother Lin, so I'll go see if he's done. I'll let you know when he's done," Mo Tian said.
After that, Mo Tian left.
On the morning of the third day, Mo Tian came to Linlong's house again. He told Linlong that he had found everyone and asked Linlong to set off with him.
Linlong immediately followed Mo Tian out.
"That good friend of mine is named Xue Ling. He and another person are waiting for us in a village at the back of the mountain." Mo Tian said while walking.
The two quickly arrived at the back of the mountain and walked out of the Sky Evolution Academy's sphere of influence.
"Wait." When Mo Tian arrived at the foot of the back mountain and was about to continue forward, Lin Long suddenly called out.
"What is it?" Mo Tian asked curiously.
Linlong didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly moved. His speed was very fast. Mo Tian only saw a blur before Linlong disappeared.
Knowing that Lin Long possessed astonishing strength, Mo Tian was not surprised. Instead, he waited where he was.
At this time, Lin Long had already subdued a person wearing the Sky Evolution Academy's uniform.
"Why are you following us sneakily?" Linlong shouted.
"I … I didn't follow you guys. I just happened to be passing by." The person quibbled.
Lin Long couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He immediately placed a seal on the person's body. Not long after, the person confessed. He said that Ren Yang had given him and another person a bribe to keep an eye on Lin Long. Once Lin Long left the academy, one of them would be in charge of following him while the other would report back to Ren Yang.
Hearing this, Yang Linlong didn't find it strange. After all, people like that would definitely think of ways to teach them a lesson after being bullied.
"Then I'll give you double the price to stand on my side. How about that?" Lin Long said.
"Junior Brother Lin, please let me off. I won't dare to do it again." The person said with a long face.
He was slightly older than Lin Long. Because of this, he thought that he could keep an eye on Lin Long without giving himself away. Who would have thought that he would be discovered so soon after coming out.
It could be said that he wasn't the only one who made a mistake. Even Tan Qiwei made a mistake.
Of course, that was also because Lin Long's consciousness was too powerful. Before such a powerful consciousness, how could the person hide? Even if Tan Qiwei came personally, it would be the same.
He had no choice but to dare. After Lin Long placed another seal on him, he immediately agreed with a long face.
What Lin Long told him to do was very simple. He was to report to the wrong place so that the people Ren Yang sent to find trouble with him would be in vain.
Of course, if it wasn't because he wanted to go to the ruins, Lin Long simply wouldn't have hidden. He would have directly fought the people who came to find trouble with him. After all, with his strength of the Martial Overlord realm, even if he couldn't defeat them, escaping would not be a problem.
After informing the other party, Lin Long and Mo Tian continued to walk forward.
Very soon, they saw the seven people waiting for them in the little village at the back of the mountain.
Of the seven, six were disciples of the Heaven's Evolution Academy. One was not. That person was the strongest of the seven, having the strength of a mid-stage Martial Lord.
In comparison to that person, the others were much weaker.
After seeing those people, they started introducing each other. The rather plump young man was called Xue Ling. He was a good friend of Mo Tian and he had a rather honest appearance.
The strongest person was called Fang Yushan. He was a person from a large power in Lian Chuan City. He wasn't called over by Xue Ling, but by someone else.
It seemed that because he seemed to be the strongest among them, Fang Yushan seemed to have a bit of arrogance.
After they finished introducing each other, he said proudly, "Xue Ling, we've agreed. I'll take seventy percent of what we get, and the rest will be split among you."
"Seventy percent? Brother Yushan, isn't that too much?" Xue Ling said with a frown.
"What do you mean too much? This is considered too little? Why don't you look at your strength? You are only here to make up the numbers. You won't be of any help at all. If you aren't willing, you can go by yourselves," Fang Yushan said coldly.
"This …" Xue Ling was momentarily speechless.
Although the others were displeased, they didn't know what to say. After all, Fang Yushan's strength was too much stronger than theirs.
Mo Tian couldn't help looking at Lin Long. Although Lin Long's performance before was very powerful, Mo Tian had never known Lin Long's true strength. Thus, he didn't dare to think Lin Long was stronger than Fang Yushan.
After all, Fang Yushan's strength of a mid-stage Martial Lord was too frightening.
"Mm, then let's do this," Lin Long said indifferently.
He didn't seem to be displeased in the slightest. That made Mo Tian think Fang Yushan was stronger than Lin Long, so how could he say anything?
With one person taking the lead, the others could only gloomily follow and agree.
