1216: C1216 Linjiang City

C1216 Linjiang City

Naturally, the Face Setting Tree was not in the alley, but rather in the central area of Riverside Mountain.

The reason why Lin Long didn't go there was because there was a rather strong Symbol Grammar Array at the location where the Face Setting Tree grew in Linjiang Mountain.

Even though the Liang Family's power was not great, in these past few lifetimes, all of their hard work had been spent on protecting the Face Setting Tree's Symbol Grammar Array, so this Symbol Grammar Array could not be compared to an ordinary Symbol Grammar Array.

Of course, with Lin Long's current strength, he would be able to break through the Symbol Grammar Array after spending some time and effort.

However, if this was the case, the sound would definitely alarm the people in the surroundings. By that time, if someone discovered that there was a Face Setting Tree in the mountain, it would be bad.

After all, there was a limit to the Apothecary Guild and they couldn't move the Apothecary Guild away either. If anyone found out, they would attract a lot of powerful warriors, but Lin Long didn't want to see that, so he naturally wanted to get the Apothecary Fruit without batting an eyelid.

Although the Liang clan had Face Setting Fruit, only Liang Chenglu and a few other elders knew of its existence. The others did not know of its existence.

The reason why Lin Long was here was because an elder of the Liang Family lived here. This elder had an order badge on him, if placed together with the one Lin Long had obtained from Liang Chengu, he could directly open the Symbol Grammar Array that was protecting the Face Setting Fruit. Lin Long did not need to spend time and effort to decipher it, and he did not need to alarm the people at the side.

The surname of this Liang of the elders was Lu. Although he was an elder of the Liang clan, he rarely went inside the clan, and usually, he looked just like an ordinary old man. The neighbors never would have thought that this old man would be an elder of the Liang clan.

Lin Long quickly arrived at the courtyard Elder Lu was staying in. The courtyard was very ordinary and looked very quiet.

Lin Long walked forward and knocked on the door. After a long while, the door opened a crack and a young face peeked out. After seeing Lin Long, he asked, "Who are you, may I ask who you are looking for?"

"I am a distant relative of Elder Lu. I have some matters that require me to look for him. I wonder if he is in or not." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

"Elder Lu isn't here." The young man immediately said, "Please go back."

"That's right, didn't Elder Lu live here?" Lin Long frowned.

"If I say I'm not here, then I'm not. Why are you wasting your breath? Hurry up and leave!" The man's face turned cold.

As he said that, he pushed open the door and stood out, looking like he wanted to immediately kick Lin Long out.

The moment the other party pushed open the door, Lin Long saw a middle-aged man standing not far from him.

It was also at this moment that the middle-aged man yelled at the young man, "Lu Yu, you're Elder Lu's distant relative, why did you kick him out?"

The young man stared blankly for a moment, then quickly replied, "I just thought he was a liar."

"Quick, let him in!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Lu Yu immediately did not stop Lin Long, but opened the door and allowed Lin Long to enter.

"Little brother, I wonder what your name is, where you came from, and what your relationship with Elder Lu is?" After entering, the middle aged man looked at Lin Long and said.

In that moment, Lin Long realized that it was still extremely quiet, it looked to be just the two of them.

However, with Lin Long's powerful divine sense, he could easily discover that there were a few strong practitioners hiding in the surroundings.

Seemingly something wasn't right, Lin Long made this judgement in his heart.

"My name is Lin Li and I come from Mu Ran Village in Gong Jiang city. My mother's grandfather is Elder Lu's cousin." Lin Long said.

Although there was a 'River' in the name of Gong Jiang Cheng, it was quite far from Riverside City.

"What's the relationship?" Hearing Lin Long's words, Lu Yu couldn't help but be taken aback.

"So it's Little Brother Lin." The middle-aged man nodded, and then asked, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Something happened in my hometown, so my mother told me to come to River City to seek Elder Lu's help. She heard that Elder Lu is very rich here," Lin Long said as he looked around in envy.

"Is that so? Then why don't you stay here for a few days. I'll tell Elder Lu about this when he comes back." The middle-aged man laughed.

"I wonder what your relationship with Elder Lu is?" Lin Long said with a cautious look.

"I am just one of Elder Lu's subordinates. My name is Zhan Fei." The middle-aged man laughed again.

"So it's Uncle Zhan." Lin Long said obediently.

"Lu Yu, find a room for Little Brother Lin to stay in." The middle-aged man immediately said.

"Little brother, please come with me." Lu Yu told Lin Long, and then led Lin Long to the guest room on the left.

It was also at this time that Lin Long noticed that the middle aged man behind him had suddenly moved. Not only him, the other warriors that were hiding in the darkness also moved at the same time.

They all struck towards Lin Long at the same time.

The two strongest among these people were only middle stage martial arts domination warriors, how could Lin Long put them in his eyes?

Just as their palm attacks were about to hit him, he sent a palm strike back.

bang bang bang bang *

With just a few sounds, those few people were directly severely injured by Lin Long and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yu hurriedly ran outside, but just as he took a step, Lin Long's palm energy had already reached him, and directly knocked him unconscious on the ground with one palm.

After suppressing these few people, Lin Long directly walked in front of the middle-aged man.

"Brat, who exactly are you? How are you so powerful?" The middle-aged man who called himself Zhan Fei asked in surprise.

He had originally thought that Lin Long would at most only be at the early stage of martial arts domination. Although his strength seemed to be lower than theirs, in order to not be unexpected, he still had the other people hiding in the shadows to attack at the same time.

Who would have thought that Lin Long's strength was simply too much stronger than them.

"Who I am is not important. I just want to ask you, who are you people?" Lin Long said coldly.

In the period of time just now, he'd already noticed that these people weren't members of the Liang clan, and even more so weren't people under Elder Lu's command.

"Why would we tell you who we are!" The middle-aged man snorted.

"Oh, I'm not afraid that you won't tell me." Seeing the other party's actions, Lin Long could not help but smile, and then directly placed a few restrictions on his body.

After going down and being tortured, how could the middle-aged man not tell Lin Long everything?

Sure enough, it was as Lin Long had guessed, these people were not from the Liang family, but rather the Wang family of Zhong Jiang City. Their power was much greater than the Liang family, and they were not on the same level.

Moreover, because of Liang Chenglu's inexplicable disappearance, the Liang clan was not their match.

Up until now, it seemed like they had already captured the entire Liang clan. But because of the short time, in order to prevent the Liang clan from having any more influence, they continued to stay in every part of the Liang clan, pretending that nothing had happened to the Liang clan.

If there really was someone else from the Liang family looking for him, they would immediately kill him.

Previously, the reason why Lu Yu wanted to kick Lin Long out the moment he opened his mouth was because he felt that Lin Long's strength wasn't anything much and didn't put him in his eyes.

However, the middle-aged man felt that Lin Long was not weak, and thus let him in.

And then it happened.

After hearing the gist of it, Lin Long immediately asked, "Do you know why your Wang Family wants to make a move against the Liang Family?"

Lin Long thought that his opponent had probably done it because of the Face Setting Tree, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was a little impossible. After all, the Liang Family had already kept their mouths shut for so many years, and no one nearby even knew that there was a Face Setting Tree in Riverside City.

Lin Long only thought that the other party would know, but the other party simply shook his head, "The Patriarch didn't say why he decided to make a move."

Since the other party did not know, Lin Long would not ask any further. He immediately asked, "Where is Elder Lu from the Liang family?"

If the other party really did come for the Face Setting Tree and forced Elder Lu to bring out the command medallion, it would be troublesome if they went to Linjiang Mountain to get the Face Setting Fruit.

"Elder Lu is currently imprisoned in the Liang Household's dungeon." Zhan Fei said honestly.

"Then did you force anything out of him?" Lin Long asked again.

"Nope." Zhan Fei shook his head.

Hearing Zhan Fei say this, Lin Long could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Of course, he would still need to find Elder Lu to know if that was the truth. After all, Elder Lu had been gone for quite some time. Who knew if the Wang Family's patriarch had gotten the token from Elder Lu during this time?

After knocking them out with a single palm and locking them up in one room, Lin Long headed straight for the Liang Household.

With Lin Long's strength, he quickly entered the Liang Family's dungeon without anyone knowing.

In the dungeon, Lin Long saw Elder Lu. This Elder Lu was actually locked up in a separate cell, which saved Lin Long a lot of trouble.

"Young Master, are you here to save this old man?" Seeing Lin Long suddenly appearing in the dungeon, Elder Lu immediately said with joy.

Elder Lu was around seventy years old. He was old to begin with, and in addition to the obvious torture he had suffered recently, he looked extremely haggard.

"If you give me what I need, I can let you out." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

"What do you want?" Hearing Lin Long's words, Elder Lu immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Naturally, it is to enter the medallion of the Symbol Grammar Array at Linjiang Mountain." Lin Long said directly.

"Who are you? How did you know that our Liang Family had the Face Setting Tree? And how did you know that I have the command medallion?" Hearing Lin Long's words, Elder Lu could not help but say.

One had to know that even the Patriarch of the Wang Clan didn't know that he had the medallion. Otherwise, it would only torture him even more cruelly.

"You will not know who I am if I tell you. You only need to give me the badge." Lin Long said.

"No, I'm a member of the Liang Family. Even if I die, I won't give you that token!" Elder Lu shook his head.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Furthermore, it's impossible for even my command medallion to enter that Symbol Grammar Array. Only by obtaining our Liang Family Patriarch's command medallion once again, with two medallions combined, can I enter the Symbol Grammar Array. As for our Liang Family's patriarch, he has long since disappeared to somewhere unknown, and you won't be able to obtain his command medallion, so just give up."

The reason why he said such words was naturally to cut off the thoughts in Lin Long's heart. Because even if it was them, they had spent so many days yet they still could not find Liang Chenglu, so they naturally did not think that Lin Long was able to find Liang Chenglu.

Hearing his words, Lin Long couldn't help but smile, and then took out the command tablet he had obtained from Liang Chenglu.

"What do you think this is?" Raising the order badge in his hand, Lin Long said.

"This is the command token in the Patriarch's hands, which is also our Liang Family's Patriarch's Medallion. Where did you get it from?" Do you know where our Patriarch is now? " Looking at this token, Elder Lu could not help but ask.

"Your Patriarch is already dead." Lin Long said lightly.

"You're lying." Because Lin Long had concealed his presence and strength, he could not sense Lin Long's strength, so he did not believe that Lin Long could kill their Patriarch.

"Cut the crap. Tell me where the badge is." Lin Long said again.

"Impossible, it's impossible for me to tell you where the token is." Elder Lu gritted his teeth.

Lin Long was too lazy to waste words with him, he directly placed a restriction on his body. After a while, Elder Lu could only tell Lin Long everything about the location of the order badge.0

The medallion was not on Elder Lu, but in one of the rooms in Elder Lu's courtyard.

After he forced out all these, Lin Long heard a series of hurried footsteps from above the dungeon. It seemed that someone outside had noticed that something was amiss.

Lin Long immediately walked out of the dungeon. As expected, once he walked out, there were seven to eight people who surrounded him from all four sides.

"Who are you?" Once they saw Lin Long, they immediately shouted loudly.

Lin Long directly struck out with his palm towards them. The strongest of them were only at the late stage of martial arts domination, so he did not place them in his eyes at all.

With a palm attack, a few of them were immediately sent flying.

"Everyone attack together!"

Seeing that Lin Long was strong, these people immediately swarmed over, but in the end, they were all let down by Lin Long.

After taking care of all these people, Lin Long immediately left the Liang Household and ran towards Elder Lu's courtyard.

Soon, he returned to Elder Lu's courtyard and found the token under a brick in the room.

That token was naturally on Elder Lu's body. However, after he realized that someone was attacking him, Elder Lu had a bright idea and hid it.

After obtaining the order badge, Lin Long headed straight for Lin Jiang Shan.

He was worried that the members of the Wang family who knew about the Liang family's secret were already forcefully attacking the Symbol Grammar Array.

After all, Elder Lu was not the only one in the Liang family who knew the secret.
