The Deacon Elder and the rest quickly found Lu Zhiyi. When they saw that Lu Zhiyi's body was riddled with wounds, some of which were obviously left by Elder Feng, they immediately restrained Lu Zhiyi.
"Lu Zhiyi, we suspect that Elder Feng's death is related to you." The Deacon Elder and the rest said coldly as they looked at Lu Zhiyi.
If Lu Zhiyi did not have these wounds on his body, they would not be so sure that Elder Feng's death was related to him.
Lu Zhiyi and Linlong had already thought of a countermeasure. Hence, when he heard their questions, Lu Zhiyi immediately exclaimed, "What? Elder Feng is dead?"
"Lu Zhiyi, stop pretending. Hurry up and tell me, how did you kill Elder Feng?" The Enforcement Elder shouted.
"Deacon Elder, you have wronged me. I have indeed met Elder Feng before. However, Elder Feng left right after punishing me. I have no idea what happened after that," Lu Zhiyi said. "Elder Feng, you are right.
Without waiting for the others to ask, he continued, "Elder Feng harbors a grudge against me because of my doubts during the Martial Arts Tournament. Hence, he had blocked my way today and brought me to the basement of a house to lock me up. He had tortured me for a while before leaving. As for what happened after that, I really don't know."
Hearing Lu Zhiyi's words, Elder Blue immediately said, "Where exactly is that residence? Bring us there."
"Yes, bring us there." The Deacon Elder also said.
Although Lu Zhiyi was very suspicious, it was not certain that Elder Feng was killed by Lu Zhiyi. Hence, when they heard that Lu Zhiyi had such a clue, they naturally wanted to take a look.
"I'll bring you there." Lu Zhiyi immediately nodded.
Then, he led the Deacon Elder and the rest towards the house.
When they arrived at the house, they saw the scene in the basement and immediately confirmed that Elder Feng had tortured Lu Zhiyi here.
"Then, did an expert related to you charge into this basement to deal with Elder Feng? Did he kill Elder Feng and rescue you?" the Law Enforcement Elder asked.
"That really did not happen. Elder Feng only let me leave after torturing me enough. As for what happened after that, I really have no idea." Lu Zhiyi insisted.
After a careful inspection, the Enforcement Elder and the rest furrowed their brows. This was because they did not find any traces of a fight between Elder Feng and anyone else.
However, their eyes quickly lit up when they found traces of Elder Feng's pursuit.
They might be able to find the reason behind Elder Feng's death. With that thought, they immediately followed the traces.
After a round of searching, they were overjoyed to find Elder Feng's corpse.
After a careful investigation and analysis of the traces left at the scene as well as the wounds on Elder Feng's body, they came to a conclusion. Elder Feng had been killed by someone and that person was a traitor wanted by the Devil Order.
"Lu Zhiyi, is that person colluding with you to kill Elder Feng here?" After confirming this point, the Law Enforcement Elder once again asked in a loud voice.
"Disciplinary Elder, it really isn't like that. I don't even know that person. Moreover, you also know that that person killed a few of my disciples before. I wouldn't collude with him at all." Lu Zhiyi naturally denied it immediately.
After the Law Enforcement Elder and the others discussed it, they were convinced that there was such a thing. Therefore, Lu Zhiyi's suspicion was reduced by half.
In this way, the tone of the Enforcement Elder and the others immediately eased up. "Hall Master Lu, although you are no longer suspected, you still have to follow us back to the main altar. We will let you leave the main altar after we confirm that everything is fine. What do you think?"
"Then let's do as you say." Lu Zhiyi immediately nodded.
The Enforcement Elder and the others immediately brought Lu Zhiyi back to the headquarters and reported the matter to the Vice Sect Master. The Vice Sect Master's conclusion was similar to the Enforcement Elder and the others.
They all thought that Elder Feng had really gone to teach Lu Zhiyi a lesson and had accidentally bumped into the traitor after leaving the house. The traitor was clearly stronger than Elder Feng and had naturally killed Elder Feng when he saw the opportunity.
After confirming this, the Vice Sect Master immediately ordered more people to hunt down the traitor.
As for Lu Zhiyi, he was temporarily staying at the headquarters.
Knowing that things had come to this, the people at the headquarters would no longer suspect him and would let him go after a few days. Therefore, the stone that had been hanging in his heart was naturally lifted.
The Vice Sect Master and the Enforcement Elder did not know that they had been played by Linlong.
Linlong had long expected that Elder Feng's death would be discovered by the Devil Sect and that they would immediately suspect Lu Zhiyi. Therefore, he had destroyed many traces at the scene and used some tricks to make it seem as if Elder Feng had been killed by the traitor.
With Linlong's skills, it was naturally easy for him to disguise himself like this. He easily fooled the Enforcement Elder and the others.
This situation naturally made Lu Zhiyi admire him. After all, the Enforcement Elder and the others were not ordinary people. Who would have thought that Linlong would be able to fool them so easily?
Knowing that the Enforcement Elder and the others would not be able to find anything, Linlong, who had returned, was not worried at all. Instead, he continued to complete the missions issued by the Devil Sect to earn Contribution Points.
After spending some time, he finally earned enough Contribution Points to enter the Heavenly Demon Cave. This time, Su Fei did not enter the Heavenly Demon Cave with him as he had something else to do.
Once he entered the Heavenly Demon Cave, Linlong naturally wanted to see if he could use the rune terminology again. After all, the crystals obtained from killing those evil spirits in cloaks were very beneficial for the cultivation of demonic arts.
Even if it was not those evil spirits but the subordinates of those evil spirits, the crystals obtained from them would still be very good.
Therefore, even though it was extremely dangerous to face those evil spirits, Linlong could not help but want to try the rich rewards.
Another thing was that Linlong was very curious about these evil spirits.
However, after he silently recited the rune terminology, Linlong's expression became a little ugly. This was because he realized that the rune terminology did not work and he remained in the same spot.
Could it be that the rune terminology was only temporary? This thought flashed through Linlong's mind.
Since he could not use this method to meet those evil spirits, Linlong could only think about going down one level at a time to hunt the evil spirits that were stronger and had more powerful crystals.
According to Su Fei, there was no way to enter the next level quickly. If he wanted to enter the next level, he had to walk from the entrance of this level to the entrance of the next level.
Therefore, Linlong could only walk step by step toward the entrance of the next level.
This way, he would spend a lot of time on the road.
It would be great if he could enter any level at will like the Demon-suppressing Pagoda. Such a thought flashed through Linlong's mind.
Along the way from the first level, there were more people, so Linlong only killed a few evil spirits.
Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the second level, Linlong saw a young man wearing a mask and a loose robe.
As soon as he saw Linlong, the young man immediately lowered his voice and said, "Junior Brother, I have a way to quickly enter the third and fourth levels. I wonder if you're interested?"
Hearing that there was such a method, Linlong was naturally interested. He immediately approached and asked, "May I know what it is?"
"Junior Brother, you must be new here … However, even some of the senior disciples don't know about this, let alone new disciples like you," the young man immediately said after hearing Linlong's words.
"Why do you say that?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"Because this method only came out recently. Some disciples who don't come here often and don't have the same idea naturally don't know about it," the young man said.
After a pause, he continued, "This is a way to quickly enter the third and fourth levels through the rune terminology."
'Isn't this the method I used before? However, the level I enter is probably not as simple as the third and fourth levels, right?' Linlong wondered in his heart.
Seeing that Linlong seemed to be hesitating, the young man continued, "Junior Brother, don't worry. This kind of rune terminology is definitely useful. It can definitely bring you to the third and fourth levels …"
"How do we trade then?" Linlong asked.
"Contribution points can't be traded, so we can only use devil coins. A rune terminology is at least 50,000 devil coins," the young man said directly.
"50,000 devil coins? That's too much, isn't it?" Linlong pretended to be shocked.
After plundering Elder Feng, the devil coins on him had skyrocketed again, so he was not in need of money at all. However, he did not want to reveal this fact.
"Junior Brother, 50,000 devil coins is still too little. If more people know about it in the future, you won't be able to buy anything with 50,000 devil coins at all. Think about it, do you want to waste the contribution points that you've painstakingly earned on the way, or do you want to quickly convert them into strength?
"Moreover, devil coins can't be exchanged for contribution points. You've earned a lot of devil coins. Do you want to let them rot in your hands, or do you want to directly use them to improve your strength?" The young man guided Linlong.
"Is that so?" Linlong nodded, then asked, "Then why is there a lowest price?"
"That's because there are two types of rune terminology. The first type of rune terminology takes a very short time to recite and leave the environment it enters. You can almost leave Sky Demon Cave in the blink of an eye. The other type of rune terminology takes the same time to recite and leave the environment it enters …"
"The first type is very safe. It can be said that even if you encounter danger, you can leave immediately. The second type is a little more dangerous, and it's suitable for many people to enter together."
The young man explained to Linlong.
"In that case, the 50,000 devil coins you mentioned is the last type?" Linlong asked.
"That's right. The first type is sold at 80,000 devil coins because there's almost no danger. Junior Brother, I saw that you don't have money, so I didn't mention the first type just now," the young man said.
"80,000 devil coins? Isn't that too expensive?" Linlong pretended to be surprised.
"Junior Brother, you can see for yourself. Do you want to buy 80,000 or 50,000?" With that, the young man glanced at Linlong a few times before continuing, "I have to remind Junior Brother that these things are not easy to find. Sometimes, no one sells them for days. Moreover, I only have two of them now, one for each type."
"Since that's the case …" Linlong pretended to grit his teeth and said, "I'll take both."
"Junior Brother, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood. This is the right choice." Seeing that Linlong actually wanted both types of rune terminology, the young man was instantly overjoyed. "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I'm short of money recently and need devil coins, I wouldn't even want to sell them."
"However, before I give you the devil coins, I want to verify these two types of rune terminology," Linlong said.
"That's for sure." The young man nodded and took out a piece of paper. There were some rune terminology written on it.
The young man pointed at the rune terminology and said, "Junior Brother, try reciting this paragraph of rune terminology."
Linlong immediately recited it. Halfway through, a faint black light appeared in the void in front of him. On the other side of the black light, there seemed to be an even denser demonic aura.
However, because this paragraph of rune terminology was obviously only half of it, the black light immediately disappeared as soon as he sensed it.
"Junior Brother, how is it? If you give me the devil coins, I'll immediately give you the remaining rune terminology, "the young man said with a smile.
Through what he sensed just now, Linlong knew that the young man did not lie to him.
Linlong did not immediately take out the devil coins to give him. Instead, he asked, "Where did you get this rune terminology from?"
"Naturally from the Sky Devil Cave. However, it requires luck and a deep understanding of runes. Otherwise, it's impossible to obtain such rune terminology at all," the young man replied.
"Then, they only enter the third and fourth levels? Don't tell me they can enter the sixth, seventh, or even the tenth level all at once? If that's the case, they won't be able to return at all, "Linlong asked again.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to worry about that. Due to the restrictions of the Rune Formation, there's no rune terminology for entering the sixth level or below at all," the young man said.
Perhaps it was an accident that he was able to see such a powerful evil spirit previously. After hearing the young man's words, such a thought flashed through Linlong's mind.
Linlong thought of something and then asked, "Senior Brother, why are you so mysterious?"
The young man could not help but sigh. "Junior Brother, you don't understand. The headquarters does not allow such transactions at all. Previously, someone was caught by the law enforcement team. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"He was directly locked in the dungeon. From the looks of it, he won't be able to come out for at least half a year. So, I have to be careful." The young man spread his hands and said.
"Why is that?"
"Who knows. Anyway, this is not allowed by the headquarters. Moreover, the law enforcement team is keeping a close eye on it," the young man replied.
"Oh." After responding, Linlong prepared to take out the devil coins.
