C1178 Normal Old Man
That night, Lin Long and the others naturally stayed at the White Flame Sect.
That Bai Ran's cultivation was immediately crippled by him and locked in the dungeon of White Flame Sect. As for the entire White Flame Sect, he also threw them towards Sun Haoran and Shi Hong.
Sun Haoran and Shi Hong were naturally overjoyed, they did not expect themselves to be blessed with such misfortune.
Although there was still the Magic Corpse Pill in their bodies, they could tell that if they did not disobey Lin Long, this Magic Corpse Pill would not have any effect on them.
That night, Lin Long and the others slept soundly, but the people from the Wenchang Sect couldn't fall asleep. It was simple, they had heard of Lin Long leading the people from the Heavenly Sunlight Sect to attack the White Flame Sect and defeat the White Flame Sect's Great Sword Formation.
Without waiting for the WenChang Sect's Sect Master, Xu Tianwen, to gather everyone, all of the elders had already come to look for him.
Sect Master, Sect Master Sun Haoran, has surrendered to Lin Li, and even the Supreme Elder who suddenly appeared has surrendered. After that, they directly went to the White Flame Sect to capture the White Flame Sect.
"The head of the Heaven Spark Sect has a Supreme Elder, and that White Flame Sect is also subdued by Lin Li. With his current strength, we are simply no match for him!"
"Master, what should we do?"
Hearing these questions, Xu Tianwen's frown deepened.
How could he know what to do now? Thus, he gathered all of the elders and the people in charge of the sect in one go.
After everyone had gathered, Xu Tianwen said in a deep voice, "Now that the truth is right in front of us, Lin Li has the Heavenly Sunlight Sect and White Flame Sect under his control and may attack our WenChang Sect at any time, what do you guys think we should do?"
Everyone was naturally discussing at the same time.
After these people finished talking, Xu Tianwen concluded, "Everyone's response is only two things. The first is to defend our Wenchang Sect to the death, and to rely on our sect's rune array and sword formations to deal with them. The other option is to surrender, to surrender to that Lin Li. But if you surrender, we must hand over that cat image jade pendant. "
Of course, other than these two points, there was also someone who raised the third point, which was that the entire Wenchang Sect divided into two parts and fled from the Wenchang Sect, giving away the foundation of the Wenchang Sect to the other side.
However, such words immediately met with opposition from a majority of the people here. Most of them believed that this was their foundation, and of course, the biggest reason was that after they left, their lives would definitely be extremely difficult.
And it was also because of this that Xu Tianwen had immediately forgotten about this.
"Then let's put our hands to the vote and decide which side has the most people." Xu Tianwen continued.
He didn't know what he should choose, so he simply made this suggestion.
What Xu Tianwen did not expect was that after he said these words, he immediately received the approval of the majority of the people present.
Clearly, they were conflicted as well. They didn't know which one to pick.
Because either way would be advantageous or disadvantageous, taking the first choice would give them the chance to save the Shadow Cat Jade Pendant. However, the chances of the Wenchang Sect getting taken down by the opponent was also very high, after all, the White Flame Sect's White Flame Sword Formation wouldn't be able to do much to the opponent.
If he chose the second option, the most direct loss would be Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant.
"Alright, let's take a vote now. Those who agree with the first method, raise your hands." Xu Tianwen immediately said.
Very quickly, he came to the conclusion that most people would choose the second option, which was to surrender and give the Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant to Lin Li.
Obviously, the majority of the people did not want to have any conflicts with Lin Long.
After confirming this point, Xu Tianwen immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It was only now that he realized that he didn't want to have any conflicts with Lin Li at all.
Just like this, early the next morning, Xu Tianwen immediately brought people to the White Flame Sect. In order to show his sincerity, he only brought two people with him.
Moreover, these two were ordinary people.
When Xu Tianwen arrived at the White Flame Sect, he had just woken up. When he heard the news, he immediately asked Sun Haoran to bring the people in.
Very quickly, Xu Tianwen and the other two were brought in front of Lin Long.
"Greetings Lin Gongzi." Upon seeing Lin Long, Xu Tianwen and the other two immediately greeted him with respect.
"Master Xu, what matter do you have for us to visit so early in the morning?" Lin Long immediately asked.
Although the person who came in to report the information had already explained the reason why Xu Tianwen and the other two were here, Lin Long naturally wanted Xu Tianwen to personally say it out.
"It's like this, Lin Gongzi, our WenChang Sect people have decided to surrender to you, and give you our Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant." Xu Tianwen said.
As Xu Tianwen spoke, he took out a wooden box from his body and opened it in front of Lin Long.
His gaze moved towards the inside of the wooden box, and Lin Long saw a jade pendant lying inside. From the looks of it, it was probably Cat's Shadow Jade.
"Lin Gongzi, this is Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant, please take a look." Xu Tianwen replied respectfully.
Lin Long immediately took it and looked at it seriously. He could not help but nod his head, because this jade pendant was indeed Cat's Shadow Jade.
"Sect Master Xu, may I know why you've come forward?" Lin Long said as he looked at the cat image on the jade.
"This is naturally because you, Lin Gongzi, are powerful." Xu Tianwen laughed bitterly, then said quickly: "We did something wrong before, I hope Young Master is magnanimous and does not bother with us."
With Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant in his hands, Lin Long naturally would not bother about it.
However, he only had four pendants left, so he asked, "Master Xu, is this all you have?"
He had also taken the White Flame Sect's Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant, and Bai Ran was already under his control, so he did not dare to lie. In other words, if a sect had another jade pendant, it would definitely be the Wenchang Sect.
"Lin Gongzi, our sect indeed only has one cat shadow jade pendant. If you don't believe, you can come and thoroughly investigate." Hearing Lin Long's words, Xu Tianwen hurriedly said.
Seeing that Xu Tianwen was not lying, Lin Long did not make things difficult for him.
Afterwards, he directly said to Xu Tianwen and Sun Haoran who was at the side, "Then, I'll give you two three days. In three days, find the other jade pendant for me."
Hearing Lin Long's words, Xu Tianwen and Sun Haoran all smiled bitterly, but what could they do other than listen to Lin Long's words?
"If anyone has a cat shadow jade pendant, please take it to the White Flame Sect. I thank you very much!"
Very quickly, Xu Tianwen and Sun Haoran got someone to send out this message.
Not only that, they had even personally taken the lead to go out and search.
After a day had passed, they were unable to find any information.
However, on the morning of the third day, an old man with white hair suddenly came to the White Flame Sect and asked to see Lin Long.
"Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant? A person like you can actually have a cat's shadow jade pendant? " Seeing this seventy to eighty year old man walking with his back hunched, he was simply an ordinary old man. The guard directly said those words to drive this old man away.
As far as he was concerned, this old man was simply trying to trick him into eating something and drinking something.
"I really do have a cat's shadow jade pendant." The old man smiled bitterly.
"If you have Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant, hurry up and take it out!" The guard immediately shouted.
"I do have Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant, but it's not on me." The old man said again.
"You liar, get lost!" Hearing those words from the old man, the guard became even more suspicious and immediately began to berate Chu Feng.
Who would have thought that the old man still had no intention of leaving? The guard couldn't help but pull up his sleeves.
Just as he was about to forcefully chase the old man away, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. "What happened?"1
Turning his head to look, he saw that it was actually Heavenly Sunlight Sect's Highest Elder, Shi Hong. He couldn't help but shudder, and then hurriedly said, "Highest Elder, this person said that he has a cat image jade pendant on him, but he can't take it out. He's simply lying to us."
Shi Hong ignored the guard, and looked towards the old man: "You said that you have a cat shadow jade pendant?"
"Yes, my lord." The old man nodded.
"Then, where are you from? Where's Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant?" Shi Hong squinted his eyes.
"I cannot tell you these words, only when I see that Lin Gongzi would I tell him about it." The old man shook his head.
"How dare you! Do you know that this is Elder Shi Hong of the Heavenly Sunlight Sect, the most capable subordinate of the Lin Gongzi?" The guard at the side seized this opportunity to yell at the old man.
"If you do not meet the Lin Gongzi, I will definitely not speak of such a thing, even if it means my death." The old man actually didn't even frown.
"Is that so?" Shi Hong could not help but sneer.
Then, his hand moved, and he suddenly grabbed onto the old man's palm.
Exerting a little more strength, the old man immediately felt so much pain that the veins on his forehead popped out. With another little bit more strength, the old man even knelt down.
But even so, the old man did not say a word.
"Grand Elder, I think this person should just directly throw it to the dogs." The guard seized the opportunity and said.
Unexpectedly, Shi Hong fiercely glared at him, and said, "Shut up!"
The guard was so scared that his entire body was drenched in cold sweat, he did not know how he offended Shi Hong.
After that, what was even more unexpected was that Shi Hong actually said to the old man, "Since it's like that, follow me."
After saying that, Shi Hong turned and left, and the old man followed while waving his arm.
Very quickly, Shi Hong brought the elder to.
"Lin Gongzi, the old man said that he had another cat shadow jade pendant, it's just that he did not bring it with him." Shi Hong said to Lin Long.
Before Shi Hong could say anything, Lin Long's face revealed a trace of astonishment, because he realized that this old man was actually an ordinary person.
"Lin Gongzi, no matter how much I asked, he refused to tell me. He said that he would only tell me the truth when I saw you. Although he is an ordinary person, I felt that something was off, so I brought him here for you to see." Shi Hong said again.
"Alright." Lin Long nodded and looked towards the old man.
