Looking at the Deputy Sect Master's solemn face, Linlong smiled faintly, and said, "Deputy Sect Master, I didn't steal it from anyone, nor did anyone teach me. I figured it out on my own."
"Figured it out on your own?" Upon hearing Linlong's words, the Deputy Sect Master immediately sneered.
If Linlong had come up with other reasons, he might have believed it, but he didn't believe the reason he figured it out on his own.
If it was so easy to figure out the demonic technique, and it was done by someone who came to the headquarters for the first time, what was the point of so many ancestors' hard work?
If it was so easy to figure out the demonic technique, the Hundred Demon Shields would have been extremely powerful.
Hence, he didn't believe Linlong's words at all.
"Linlong, if you continue to be dishonest, I'll lock you up in the dungeon!" the Deputy Sect Master berated him.
Although Linlong was talented, he naturally wouldn't like him if he was dishonest.
"Deputy Sect Master, everything I said is true," Linlong said calmly.
Seeing that Linlong didn't have any self-awareness, the Deputy Sect Master couldn't help but shake his head, and was about to call the people outside to bring Linlong into the dungeon.
However, Linlong smiled faintly, and said, "Deputy Sect Master, if you don't believe me, why don't you ask me how I used the Hundred Demon Shields?"
Seeing how serious Linlong was, the Deputy Sect Master temporarily dismissed his previous thoughts and said, "In that case, why don't you tell me how you used the Hundred Faces Demon Shield?"
Linlong immediately showed how he used the Hundred Demon Shields in front of the Deputy Sect Master. Linlong's movements were very slow, and he deliberately showed the trajectory of his Qi, so the Deputy Sect Master could clearly see how Linlong used the Hundred Demon Shields.
After seeing the process of Lin Long using the Hundred Demon Shields, the Vice Sect Master was immediately dumbfounded because he could tell that Lin Long's method of using the Hundred Demon Shields was very different from their Devil Sect.
The different process resulted in the same result, which could only mean that Linlong really figured it out on his own, but it just happened to be similar to their Hundred Demon Shields.
After confirming this, the Deputy Sect Master couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "You … How did you do it?"
He was so shocked that he was tongue-tied.
In the eyes of the Vice Sect Master, Lin Long's innate talent was definitely outstanding. After all, the fact that he had comprehended a demonic skill on his own wasn't something that any ordinary person could do.
"When I first came into contact with the Black Demon Shield, I vaguely felt that this Black Demon Shield should be able to become stronger. After countless tests, I actually comprehended this Hundred Demon Shield by chance."
"Actually, even I didn't know that our Holy Gate had such a demonic art. It was only after I displayed it and the people around me mentioned it that I understood. At that time, I felt that there would be a misunderstanding. As expected, the Vice Sect Master found me."
Linlong explained.
Holy shit, just based on intuition alone, you were able to comprehend the Hundred Faces Demon Shield. You're really amazing! Upon hearing Linlong's words, the Deputy Sect Master couldn't help but praise in his heart.
In fact, Linlong didn't comprehend it on his own. After the Third Prince saw the Black Demon Shield, he remembered that there was an even more powerful defensive demonic art. Hence, he taught it to Linlong. That demonic art was called the Thousand Transformation Demon Shield by the Third Prince, and Linlong didn't expect it to be exactly the same as the Hundred Faces Demon Shield of the Demon Clan.
"Deputy Sect Master, do you still have any questions now?" Linlong asked with a faint smile upon seeing the Deputy Sect Master's reaction.
"No, no," the Deputy Sect Master hurriedly replied.
After thinking for a while, he praised, "Lin Li, you've performed very well at such a young age. Not only are you strong, but you've also created your own demonic art. Although you had some luck, it shows that you have talent in this area. Hence, you have to work harder. The future hope of our Holy Gate belongs to you young people."
Linlong's talent was definitely the future of the Demon Clan. Hence, he naturally had to praise Linlong and let him feel the care and concern of the Demon Clan.
"Thank you, Deputy Sect Master," Linlong said.
"Alright, there's nothing else. You can go back first and wait for the Holy Gate's notice in the Soaring Eagle Squad. When the time is right, report to the headquarters," the Deputy Sect Master said.
"Okay." After nodding, Linlong walked out.
The fact that Linlong had been summoned by the Vice Sect Master due to the Hundred Faced Demonic Shields was naturally known by many elders. Therefore, during the time that Linlong had been summoned by the Vice Sect Master, there were already many people waiting outside for the results.
They originally thought that Linlong would be locked up in the dungeon. After all, in their opinion, there was no other way for Linlong to master the Hundred Faces Demon Shield other than secretly learning it.
Who would have thought that after waiting outside for so long, Linlong would actually come out unscathed?
Could it be that Linlong or the Soaring Eagle Squad had some connections to curry favor with the Deputy Sect Master? Such a thought immediately flashed through some people's minds.
Immediately, a few elders who couldn't help but immediately went to ask the Deputy Sect Master for an explanation.
Although the Deputy Sect Master's authority and strength were stronger than theirs, they still dared to ask such a thing because they had the Sect Master's backing. They weren't afraid that the Deputy Sect Master would hit them when they were down.
As soon as they saw the Deputy Sect Master, someone immediately asked, "Deputy Sect Master, didn't that Lin Li secretly learn our Hundred Faces Demon Shield? Why did you let him go just like that?"
The Deputy Sect Master had long known that there would be doubts if he let Lin Li go. He immediately smiled, and said, "There's a reason why I let Lin Li go."
"What reason?" The few elders who came in were puzzled.
"That's because Lin Li didn't secretly learn the Hundred Faces Demon Shield. He comprehended it himself," the Deputy Sect Master said.
During the short period of time when Lin Long left, his mind had been thinking about the method to activate the Hundred Faces Demon Shield. Every time he comprehended a little, he couldn't help but sigh. Even if he learned it from Lin Li, he still couldn't immediately understand it. One could imagine how powerful Lin Li was to be able to create such a demonic technique.
"He comprehended it himself?"
"Impossible, how can demonic techniques be comprehended so easily?"
"Yes, if that's really the case, our Sacred Sect's demonic techniques will definitely blossom everywhere. How can the other forces deal with it?"
Upon hearing the Deputy Sect Master's words, the elders immediately raised their doubts.
Seeing that they didn't believe him at all, Runic Matrix couldn't help but laugh, and said, "I had the same expression as all of you before, thinking that it was impossible. However, after Lin Li demonstrated his method, I realized how ridiculous my previous thoughts were. There's no such thing as an absolute in this world."
"Deputy Sect Master, you don't have to lie to us. How can there be such an easy thing in this world?" The elders still shook their heads.
Knowing that these elders wouldn't believe him before he demonstrated his method, the Deputy Sect Master didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled, and said, "You'll know when you see how I display the Hundred Faces Demon Shield."
After saying that, he directly demonstrated it in front of the elders.
What made him look embarrassed was that after playing around for four to six hours, he only roughly demonstrated the method in front of the elders.
Fortunately, although it was only a rough demonstration, it still allowed the elders to understand that there was really another way to activate the Hundred Faces Demon Shield.
"Oh my god, Deputy Sect Master, is this really the method that Lin Li figured out himself?" After understanding it, the elders all exclaimed in surprise.
If it was an elder from the headquarters, they would also be surprised, but not to such an extent. This was because Lin Li seemed to have just joined the Sacred Sect, and this was his first time at the headquarters.
However, they were naturally surprised and impressed that such a person could figure out such a method.
After these elders left the Vice Sect Master's office, they naturally spread the news.
This news naturally shocked the people in the headquarters of the Demon Sect.
Elder Feng had also received this piece of information at the first moment. After confirming it, he was also extremely shocked.
Is this Lin Li that powerful? He thought in astonishment.
At this moment, he even wondered if it was a wise thing to help the Divine Justice Hall and offend the Soaring Eagle Squad because of a little personal gain.
The people from the Divine Justice Hall who were waiting outside quickly received this news.
As soon as he heard this news, Geng Mu's expression changed.
Regardless of whether Lin Li was really talented, he had obviously gained the favor of the Deputy Sect Master, and this was already disadvantageous to the Divine Justice Hall.
"Hall Master, don't worry. He's just a disciple who just joined the Sacred Sect. Even if he's powerful, how powerful can he be?"
"As for the method that he figured out, I think he probably figured it out by accident. It doesn't mean that he's talented!"
Elder Shen said when he saw Geng Mu's expression.
"I agree with Elder Shen's words," another elder said from the side.
"I hope so." Geng Mu nodded.
Then, his expression turned cold as he said to Elder Shen, "Elder Shen, go look for Elder Mu Hai from the Rubble Clan in the south and ask him to deal with Lin Li. I want him to disappear from this world forever!"
No matter how talented Lin Long was, he was definitely powerful among the disciples of the same generation. If he became even more powerful in the future, it would not be a good thing for the Divine Justice Hall. Therefore, he naturally had to go all out and eliminate Lin Li while he was still in the bud.
"Great!" Upon hearing Geng Mu's words, Elder Shen immediately revealed a look of joy.
He naturally knew how much of a threat the existence of someone like Lin Long was to the Divine Justice Hall. Therefore, he naturally supported Geng Mu's actions.
"Given Elder Mu Hai's strength, it's definitely a piece of cake for him to deal with Lin Li."
"Elder Mu's strength is even stronger than the Soaring Eagle Squad's Hall Master Lu Zhiyi. He has already reached the peak of the Martial Overlord Realm. It'll be a piece of cake for him to enter the Soaring Eagle Squad and kill Lin Li."
"Elder Mu is not from our Sacred Sect. He didn't use our Sacred Sect's demonic technique to kill Lin Li. No one will suspect us at all!"
Immediately, the surrounding elders also said the same.
