When he saw what was behind the boulder, a look of surprise immediately surfaced on his face. Linlong had already stood up and was fleeing towards the outside of the headquarters.
Du Yue was naturally unwilling to fail on the verge of success since he was already prepared to capture Lin Long. Hence, he immediately followed.
In his opinion, Lin Long would definitely be injured by his attack and would not be able to last long. Sure enough, to his delight, Lin Long's speed slowed down after a short while.
Lin Long had just left the boundary of the headquarters' Runic Magic Array when he caught up to Lin Long.
At this moment, he leaped up like a roc and landed in front of the other party, blocking his path.
"Kid, are you going to surrender or do you want me to make a move?" Du Yue asked Linlong smugly.
He naturally could not conceal the joy in his heart at the thought that he would soon learn the secret of the tower.
"Surrender without a fight? You're wrong. "Linlong smiled indifferently.
Du Yue could not help but be surprised by Linlong's indifference. He was not surprised by Linlong's calmness, but by the fact that Lin Long did not seem to be injured.
Du Yue could not help but ask, "Were you pretending just now? You weren't injured at all?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
Du Yue could not help but ask, "But how can you not be injured?"
Although he did not use his full strength in that palm strike, Lin Long did not use any defensive martial skills and did not counterattack. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Lin Long to not be injured.
This was why Du Yue was so surprised.
"I don't need to tell you that," Linlong said indifferently.
"That's fine. I was able to hit you once just now, and I can do it again now. I don't believe that you won't be injured if I hit you again!" Du Yue said coldly.
As he spoke, he once again activated his Heavenly Demon Eye.
In an instant, demonic qi surged around his body again. However, as time passed, a look of surprise appeared on his face again.
This was because he realized that his Heavenly Demon Eye did not seem to have any effect on Lin Long.
"You, why aren't you reacting at all?" Du Yue could not help but cry out.
"That's because your Heavenly Demon Eye was strengthened by the runic array in the main altar, so it was effective against me at that time. But once it leaves the main altar, without the strengthening of the runic array, it naturally has no effect on me," Linlong said calmly.
Just now, it was indeed because Du Yue's Heavenly Demon Eye had received the boost from the runic formation in the Demon Cult's headquarters that Linlong was affected.
Otherwise, Linlong wouldn't have fallen into that illusion at all.
"It can't be like that, right?" Du Yue couldn't help furrowing his brows.
He naturally knew that the Great Runic Formation at the headquarters would enhance his Heavenly Demon Eye, but the previous enhancement did not bring about much effect. Hence, he naturally did not believe Linlong's words. He did not believe that the enhancement of the Great Runic Formation would be able to change the outcome of the battle.
How could he know that the runic array of the Devil Sect's headquarters would enhance his Heavenly Demon Eye? The stronger the enemy, the greater the enhancement, especially when he encountered someone with a powerful Divine Will. At that time, the enhancement would be the most terrifying.
It was precisely because of this that Linlong had fallen into Du Yue's trap. If not for the fact that he possessed the body technique, he would have already become Du Yue's prisoner.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not," Linlong said calmly.
Du Yue naturally did not believe him. Hence, he once again activated his Heavenly Demon Eye, but the outcome was the same. His Heavenly Demon Eye still did not have any effect on Linlong.
Once he confirmed this, Du Yue's expression changed drastically. The Heavenly Demon Eye was his trump card. If it could not be used, he had no confidence in dealing with Linlong.
Hence, after thinking for a while, he immediately made a decision. He would escape from this place and return to the main altar.
Regardless of whether what Lin Long said was true, the Great Runic Formation at the headquarters could at least give him a sense of security.
However, how could Linlong allow him to return to the Great Runic Formation? The moment Du Yue's figure moved, he was already in front of Du Yue.
"Don't think that you can stop me just because your spiritual fire is powerful!" Du Yue's expression turned cold. He immediately activated his demonic technique and attacked Linlong with a palm strike.
Linlong immediately retaliated with a palm strike. This time, he directly used the scarlet demonic flames and the Heavenly Demon Blade, directly forcing Du Yue to retreat.
"Your demonic technique and spiritual fire seem to be even more powerful than before!" Seeing how Linlong easily forced him back, Du Yue cried out in surprise.
At this moment, his expression was extremely ugly. His trump card was useless against Lin Long, and his demonic technique and spiritual fire were also inferior to Lin Long's. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Du Yue, Du Yue …"
Suddenly, a shout rang out from within the headquarters. This shout immediately made Du Yue extremely happy.
This was because his master had rushed over after seeing the mark he left behind.
At this moment, he was a little regretful. Because of the appearance of the other party, he did not leave a mark. If not for this, his master would not have needed to shout and would have directly found him.
However, it did not matter, because he could still shout.
He immediately shouted, "Mas …"
Unexpectedly, just as he said that word, the person opposite him had already attacked him with a palm strike.
Sensing the other party's palm force, his expression changed greatly. This was because the other party's palm force was actually much more powerful than before.
What surprised him the most was that the other party was clearly not using demonic technique. Moreover, the flame that was activated from his body was also a flame that seemed to be burning metal that had no connection with demonic technique.
This brat is definitely not from our Sacred Gate! This was his first judgment.
In his astonishment, he naturally activated his defensive martial skill at the first possible moment. What made him heave a sigh of relief was that at this crucial moment, his defensive martial skill still protected his entire body in the blink of an eye.
However, just as he thought that he would definitely be able to withstand the other party's attack, the other party's palm force actually erupted with an even more powerful aura.
"Bang!"
Amidst such a muffled sound, he was sent flying by the other party's palm.
His body directly spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. After crashing onto the ground, he even fainted.
After defeating the other party, Lin Long released the spirit monkey and got it to hold Du Yue, who was on the ground. Then, the two of them quickly disappeared into the forest ahead.
After a while, the figure of a demonic sect elder appeared at the place where Lin Long and Du Yue fought. This elder was Du Yue's master, Elder Chen.
After some investigation, Elder Chen found out that this was the place where his disciple, Du Yue, fought with the other party. From the traces left on the ground, it seemed that his disciple was in a disadvantageous position and was very likely already captured by the other party.
What made him extremely depressed was that apart from these traces, he could not find anything else.
That person's method of eliminating traces was probably something that even our sect master could not do! This situation caused Elder Chen to involuntarily frown. He knew that he had met his match.
Looking at the situation, it seemed that Du Yue came out with the person who traded contribution points, and then encountered the person's helper. That helper was very powerful, and Du Yue was not his match, so he was directly captured. Elder Chen guessed this in his heart.
Since he could not find anything, Elder Chen could only continue to search with incomparable depression. After all, this was the most talented disciple that he had taught for so many years. He did not want to abandon him just like that.
However, after searching for a few hours, he still could not find anything. In the end, he could only helplessly return to the demonic sect's headquarters.
At this time, he could only pray that the other party would not make a move on Du Yue.
Since he could not find Du Yue, he also had the thought of reporting this matter to the vice sect master. However, he gave up on this idea in the end.
Because if he really reported it to the vice sect master, some secrets would definitely be exposed.
While Elder Chen was searching for Du Yue, in a certain cave, Lin Long had already slapped Du Yue awake.
As soon as he woke up, Du Yue asked with incomparable shock, "Just who are you?"
"You don't need to know that. You just need to tell me how you followed me. Your method of following me is clearly better than Jingxuan's, so I need an answer." Lin Long said.
"You want to know the reason? That's impossible, "Du Yue said unyieldingly.
"Tsk tsk, then I can only use force." Lin Long smiled indifferently.
"You can torture me however you want. As long as I open my mouth, it's my loss!" Du Yue said coldly.
Lin Long smiled without saying anything. When Du Yue was feeling smug, he suddenly placed a restriction on Du Yue's body.
After a few restrictions, how could Du Yue still hold on? He directly told Lin Long about the Instant Tracking Talisman.
After speaking, he took out the Instant Tracking Talisman from his pocket.
"It's this talisman," Du Yue said helplessly.
"Oh." Lin Long immediately took the talisman from Du Yue's hand.
After looking at it seriously for a while, Lin Long had an understanding of this talisman. However, without the rune terms to use this talisman, he could not use this talisman.
Hence, he immediately said, "Tell me the rune terms of this talisman."
Du Yue naturally did not want to tell Lin Long, but after experiencing Lin Long's restrictions, he did not dare to say no. He obediently told Lin Long the rune terms.
After getting the rune terms, Lin Long knew that this talisman was indeed a talisman. As long as he sensed someone's aura, he could use this talisman to follow closely behind that person.
The first person Lin Long thought of was naturally Jing Xuan. He had never been able to break Jing Xuan's strange demonic technique. Now that he had this talisman, he could completely give her a taste of her own medicine.
Then, Lin Long smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Du Yue, for your timely help. With this talisman, I can completely deal with Jing Xuan."
Hearing Lin Long's words, Du Yue was naturally very angry. However, what could he do now? He could only regret being so anxious before. If he had waited for his master, then this situation would not have happened.
Next, Lin Long did not kill his opponent. Instead, he placed an illusory talisman formation outside the cave entrance, trapping his opponent here. At the same time, he let the Spirit Monkey guard here.
With the illusory talisman formation, coupled with the fact that his opponent's strength was completely restricted by his restrictions, he was not worried that his opponent could escape.
The reason why he did not kill his opponent was naturally because Lin Long did not want to anger the people in the Demon Sect's headquarters.
After all, once such a genius fell, in addition to the recent events, the people in the Demon Sect's headquarters would definitely chase him even more crazily. At that time, even the Sect Master might appear.
This was naturally disadvantageous for him to obtain the Ten Thousand Demon Flame. Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly safer for him to temporarily disappear.
