C1179 Ancient Well

Seeing that Lin Long's gaze was fixated on him, the old man immediately said, "Greetings, Lin Gongzi."

"You said that you only spoke the truth when you saw me. How did you know that I was Lin Li?" Lin Long asked.

"I have seen Lin Gongzi in White Flame City, so I know what he looks like." The old man replied.

Lin Long could not help but nod his head, then asked, "You said that you have a cat's shadow jade pendant, is that true?"

"It is indeed true." As he said that, the old man turned to look at Shi Hong. His meaning was obvious, he was afraid that Shi Hong would find out if he said it.

"It's fine." Lin Long said.

Hearing Lin Long's words, the old man said, "That Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant is in my home, my home is outside of White Flame City."

"You said that Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant is in your home, could it be that there is some expert protecting it?" Shi Hong asked.

"No, I'm the only one who knows about that cat shadow jade pendant." The old man said.

"Don't tell me you're the only one in your family with no other relatives?" Shi Hong asked again.

"I'm not the only one in my family, but there's only one person who knows about it in every generation. In my generation, I'm the only one who knows about it, and only before I die will I tell my children that we have the cat shadow jade pendant." The old man said.

"Since you have Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant, why did you take it out?" Lin Long asked.

"Because our ancestors told us that if anyone in this world discovers the other four jade pendants, we should give them the last one." The old man said.

"Why is that?" Lin Long said.

"I don't know. These were the ancestor's last words." The old man shook his head.

"In that case, do any of you want to take that jade pendant for yourselves?" Shi Hong asked.

"Of course there is. It's just that no one with that kind of thought is able to get that jade pendant." The old man smiled bitterly.

"Why is that?"

"Because before they even touched that jade pendant, they already had an accident. With such an example, none of our juniors would dare to have any thoughts about that jade pendant." The old man said.

"What happened to them?" Shi Hong asked curiously.

"I don't know. In any case, the moment they approached the jade pendant, they were so scared that their bodies and souls were trembling uncontrollably. In the end, even if they were to leave that place, they would not be able to recover their senses. In a few days, they would thin out and die in a daze." The old man said.

"Oh, is there really such a strange place? I'll go take a look." Lin Long could not help but be interested, because he felt that the old man was not lying.

"Then who was your ancestor?" Shi Hong asked.

"Our ancestors were the people who gathered the cat shadow jade pendants." The old man said.

"What?" Hearing that, even Lin Long was surprised.

"It's absolutely true. This is a piece of white jade that our ancestor once carried with him." As he spoke, the old man took out a piece of white jade.

Receiving the white jade over, Lin Long took a look, and realized that this white jade was only ordinary white jade, there was nothing special about it.

On a closer look, there was a word below the white jade that one would not be able to detect if one did not use spiritual will.

It was the word "Liu".

"Is your ancestor surnamed Liu?" Lin Long could not help but ask.

"Exactly." The old man nodded.

"Is there anything else that confirms that that person is your ancestor?" Lin Long asked again.

"No more." The old man shook his head.

"Since that's the case, call Xu Tianwen over." Lin Long immediately replied.

The reason he said this was because that expert was from the WenChang Sect.

Very quickly, a reply came from outside saying that Xu Tianwen had gone out, and would probably not be able to come back today.

Xu Tianwen did not come, but a few WenChang Sect elders did, but after these elders looked at Bai Yu seriously, they all shook their heads, they said that the expert's surname was indeed Liu, but they did not know if this Bai Yu was actually that Ranker's.

However, with this, it would be enough. Lin Long felt that there was even more hope.

"Where is your home? Bring us there right now." Lin Long immediately said to the old man.

Very quickly, the old man brought Lin Long to his house. His house was in an ordinary village outside White Flame City.

The old man's house was just a few simple stone houses. It was obvious that he was a very ordinary family.

He did not have many family members, only around ten people.

"My Liu family is weak," he explained.

As he spoke, he walked with Lin Long to an ancient well in the backyard.

Only at this time did a little boy, who had followed them all the way but didn't dare to approach them, muster up the courage to ask, "Grandpa, didn't you say that if we go near that ancient well, we would go crazy? Why are we still bringing them over?"

"Xiao Niu, don't worry. The Lin Gongzi is powerful and this ancient well can't do anything to them." The old man laughed.

After that, he quickly had a woman behind the child to take the child out. It wasn't just the child, but the rest of his family members were all driven outside by him as well.

"Elder Liu, is the jade pendant inside the ancient well?" Lin Long asked.

"In this ancient well, our ancestor personally placed it. He said that only those who can gather the other four jade pendants will be allowed to enter." The old man said.

"Oh, is that so? Then I'll go in and take a look." Lin Long said.

Hearing Lin Long's words, Shi Hong hurriedly said from the side, "Lin Gongzi, let me go in and take a look."

"No need." Lin Long shook his head. He felt that this Ancient Well was really strange, letting Shi Hong in was useless, and would even harm Shi Hong.

Hearing Lin Long's words, Shi Hong gave up that idea.

"I'm going in. Watch outside." With that said, Lin Long immediately jumped into the well.

Lin Long easily entered the bottom of the ancient well.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Long started to carefully inspect the bottom of the ancient well. Very quickly, he found a mechanism.

He turned on the mechanism and heard a cracking sound. A hole that could only fit one person had appeared on the left side.

The moment the cave entrance appeared, Lin Long's powerful divine sense immediately let him understand what he felt was amiss.

This was because there were obviously ghosts inside the cave.

After entering the cave, Lin Long realized that there was a flight of stairs in front of him. After walking for a few meters, they shockingly arrived at the end of the stairs.

This secret room was not big. Once he entered, Lin Long was attracted by something that was hung on the wall of the secret room in front.

It was a longsword. It was completely black in color, but there was a strange glow within the darkness.

When his consciousness moved onto the sword, Lin Long felt that the Demonic Qi on the sword blade was dense, other than that, there seemed to be countless spirits inside.

Lin Long could immediately tell that it was a devil sword.

Presumably, it was this demon sword that caused such a strange occurrence to occur in the Liu Family for generations. As this world did not have any demonic arts, they did not know how to resist this demon, Lin Long thought.

At this point, the truth would naturally be revealed. However, Lin Long still did not quite understand.

That was, that expert surnamed Liu was clearly from this world, how could there be such a demon? After all, only those who had gathered the other four jade pendants could enter.

After thinking about it, he came to a conclusion. That was that the expert had entered five jade pendant maps and took out the demon sword from there.

As for why only people who had collected four pieces of jade would be able to obtain the demon sword, it was probably only people who had gathered four pieces would be able to resist the ghost spirits inside, otherwise they wouldn't be able to control the demon sword.

As for why he wanted to control the demon sword, it was likely that after entering that place, the demon sword would have some use.

Lin Long, who was guessing this way, reached out his hand to grab the demon sword.

Who would have thought that just as he grabbed the demon sword, his mind buzzed and he instantly felt like he was in a place filled with ghosts.

"Lin Long, you caused me so much trouble, I want you dead!"

"Lin Long, you did not expect that you have also entered hell!"

At the same time, his mind was filled with these eerie cries. If it was the people of this world, even an expert like Shi Hong would suffer, but how could a Devil Dao expert like Lin Long be captivated by such a simple illusion?

With a soft shout, all the illusions disappeared without a trace.

Following that, Lin Long immediately grabbed at the trembling devil sword in front of him.

The moment his hand grabbed the body of the demon sword, it immediately quieted down.

Lin Long knew that the spirit inside the demon sword had already been subdued by him.

Taking the demon sword off the wall, Lin Long realized that a jade pendant had fallen as well. He took a look and discovered that it was the Cat's Shadow Jade Pendant.

Carefully observing the Cat's Shadow jade pendant, Lin Long noticed that this Cat's Shadow jade pendant was different from the other Cat's Shadow jade pendants. Because the words engraved on his back were densely packed with small words, they were extremely small, and anyone with poor eyesight or spiritual will would not be able to see them.

After reading this long paragraph, Lin Long finally understood the sequence of events.

So it turned out that the expert from back then had indeed entered that place. At that time, because they had directly encountered an illusion, only the one with the strongest spiritual will had entered.

The others were directly driven back to their original world.

Although he entered alone, that expert was extremely happy, thinking that he could obtain the treasure he yearned for.

However, the reality made him feel greatly disappointed and terrified. He discovered that he had arrived in another world. The vicious beasts of that world were actually incomparably powerful. They could even transform into human forms.

The most important thing was, not long after he entered, these ferocious beasts attacked him.

That expert didn't want to become a prisoner, so he desperately tried to escape. However, how could he escape?

In the end, he was heavily injured, but at this time, an old man came out from nowhere and saved him.

After he was saved, the old man asked him where he came from. He told him in detail that the old man was trying to persuade him to return the way he came from.

With that, the old man left.2

The expert was unwilling, so he did not leave. He still wanted to continue exploring this world.

However, he hadn't gone far when he was caught by a group of fierce beasts like before, and the result was the same as before.

After he thought that he could not be saved this time, to his surprise, the old man appeared once again and saved him.

This time, the old man didn't even try to persuade him. Instead, he brought him directly to the space crack where he had entered that world and forced him to return.

Before leaving, the old man gave the demon sword to him and told him, "One day, if there is anyone in your world who can subdue this sword and bring it here, then when the time comes, please bring this sword to me."

After saying this, the old man forcefully stuffed him into the spatial crack.

In the end, the expert even mentioned the effects of the five jade pendants.

In fact, these five jade pendants were not only marked with a map, but were also used to stimulate the Symbol Grammar Array at that place. Only by doing so could the Symbol Grammar Array there forcefully tear open the spatial crack that led to that world.

Looks like that place is the world of the Spirit Demon Race, there's a possibility that the strong Spirit Demon Beast is actually in that world, no matter what, I have to go over, Lin Long immediately decided in his heart.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Long returned along the way.
