Not long after, two young men entered the tavern. Upon seeing the two young men, the people who knew them greeted them warmly.
"Junior Lu, Junior Mo, how come you have the time to drink today?"
Hearing such greetings, Linlong knew that Lu Zizhen and Mo Dao had arrived. Indeed, after a while, noises came from the neighboring room.
After some boring words, the two of them directly entered the main topic.
"Senior Lu, is the ruins you spoke of real?" One of them asked.
"That's right, it's real." The other person nodded. Clearly, that person was Lu Zizhen.
"Then … Senior Brother Lu, can you show me the treasure map?" Junior Brother Mo asked.
What Linlong didn't expect was that Lu Zizhen directly said, "Mo Dao, you and I are like real brothers. Why do you have to treat me like an outsider? In any case, I've already memorized that place. You can go look at the treasure map."
"Thank you, Senior Lu," Mo Dao said joyfully.
With Linlong's powerful consciousness, he immediately sensed their strengths. Lu Zizhen's strength was similar to Yu Hongcai's, who he met before. However, Mo Dao's strength was much lower — he was only an early Martial Lord.
Thinking about it, Linlong understood. The reason why Lu Zizhen found people with such strength to go with her to the ruins was because she wasn't afraid they could take away the Spiritual Fire inside.
Immediately, Lu Zizhen gave the treasure map to Mo Dao. After a careful look and confirming it was a treasure map, Mo Dao put it away and planned to look at it in detail. Then, he asked, "Senior Lu, when are we going to the ruins?"
"There are still five or six days before the ruins open. We'll go then," Lu Zizhen said.
"Okay, let's drink a few cups today," Mo Dao said immediately with a smile.
The two of them spoke very softly before so they didn't worry about others hearing them. Little did they know, their every movement was seen by Linlong, who was on the other side.
After drinking for a while, the two of them left. After leaving the tavern, they didn't walk back to the Demon School's headquarters together. Instead, they split up. It seemed that Lu Zizhen was going to find someone else for some business.
This was naturally what Lin Long wanted. Lin Long chose to follow behind Mo Dao, because not only was Mo Dao weak, his status and connections were much worse than Lu Zizhen's, so dealing with him wouldn't be that troublesome.
Thinking about how he would soon go to those ruins and obtain the things inside, Mo Dao was naturally overjoyed.
However, just as he reached a remote place, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
The other party's face was covered, and it was clear that they did not come with good intentions. Mo Dao was a bit panicked at first, but when he thought about his identity as a Demon Sect disciple, he quickly calmed down.
"Who are you? What do you want?" He said coldly.
"Nothing much. I just want to take a look at your treasure map." Lin Long went straight to the point.
The reason why he covered his face was naturally because he didn't want any trouble for the time being.
"You want the treasure map!" Mo Dao couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect the matter of the treasure map to be known by this person.
"That's right," Linlong said.
"But why would I give it to you?" Mo Dao sneered.
"You will give it to me." Linlong smiled calmly. As he spoke, his figure moved, directly attacking Mo Dao.
Mo Dao's expression immediately changed, because he discovered that Linlong's strength was powerful, and seemed to surpass him by too much.
But what could he do? He could only brace himself and attack with a palm.
The difference in strength between the two was too great. Mo Dao's palm was completely useless against Linlong. However, Linlong didn't reveal his true strength. He pretended to fight for a while before subduing Mo Dao.
"Take out the treasure map, or else I won't be polite!" Linlong said coldly.
"Don't even think about it!" Mo Dao said directly.
Making him take out the treasure map was easy, but there was still Lu Zizhen behind him.
Linlong couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He directly set up a restriction.
Being tortured by the restriction, Mo Dao could only obediently take out the treasure map. After carefully looking at the treasure map, Linlong knew that it was not fake.
"I've already given you the treasure map. You can let me go now, right?" Mo Dao said pitifully.
Linlong had already made up his mind, so he directly let Mo Dao go.
After Mo Dao escaped, he immediately went to find Lu Zizhen.
"What? Someone actually stole your treasure map!" Looking at Mo Dao's bruised face, Lu Zizhen knew that Mo Dao didn't lie to him.
At this moment, he really regretted giving the treasure map to Mo Dao. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
"How strong is that person?" Lu Zizhen hurriedly asked.
"That person's strength is much higher than mine. However, he should be on par with you." Thinking about it, Mo Dao said like this.
Hearing Mo Dao say like this, Lu Zizhen immediately heaved a sigh of relief. How could he have thought that this was Linlong's intention?
"Since his strength is about the same as mine, then it's easy. With my demonic arts and spiritual fire, he is not my opponent at all." Lu Zizhen said.
"That's true, but I feel that we should find some helpers. Only then will we be absolutely safe." Mo Dao said.
Thinking about it, Lu Zizhen nodded. "That's fine too."
Although he didn't want others to get a share, this was the only thing he could do now.
On the other side, after obtaining the treasure map, Linlong immediately followed it to the ruins. This ruins was near the demon sect's headquarters, so he quickly found it.
After finding the ruins and confirming it, he was relieved, because there was indeed a runic formation here that wasn't weak.
And just like Lu Zizhen said, the entrance to the ruins would only open five or six days later.
After confirming that it was the ruins, Linlong first returned to the Soaring Eagle Squad.
As soon as he returned to the Soaring Eagle Squad, Lu Zhiyi immediately came to find him and said gloomily, "Young Master Lin, that Lu Zizhen left the headquarters tonight and went to the Holy Gate Tavern to drink. I wanted to tell you about this, but I found that you weren't there. That Lu Zizhen has already returned."
Hearing that Lu Zhiyi was really doing things for him, Linlong couldn't help but smile. He immediately said, "In the future, you don't need to keep an eye on that Lu Zizhen."
"Why?" Lu Zhiyi couldn't help but ask.
"You don't need to ask about that." Linlong said alone.
"I understand." Lu Zhiyi, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, quickly lowered his head.
After letting Lu Zhiyi leave, Linlong went to find Zhao Zhi and gave him a Water Magic Crystal.
Zhao Zhi could be said to have helped him, so he naturally had to reward him. Kindness should be repaid, and hatred should be repaid.
Seeing such a Water Magic Crystal, Zhao Zhi was naturally overjoyed. He didn't even dare to accept it because it was too precious to him.
Under Linlong's request, he finally accepted it.
After obtaining the Water Magic Crystal, Zhao Zhi was naturally glad that he was on good terms with Linlong. Otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to obtain such a good thing?
