1248: C1248 Entering the Cave

C1248 Entering the Cave

Seeing Hu Yanming and the rest rushing over, Lin Long immediately slashed with his sword.

He was not simply slashing out with a single slash, but using a single move. In that instant, a powerful Sword Qi with three different types of flames immediately struck at Hu Yanming who was in front of him.

"This is bad!" Sensing Lin Long's powerful sword aura, Hu Yanming was immediately shocked.

At this time, how could he still think about injuring Lin Long? The only thought in his mind was not to be hurt by Lin Long's sword qi, so he directly used his strongest defensive martial skill.

The people who were charging towards Lin Long with him also unleashed their palm attacks at Lin Long.

They could also feel the power of Lin Long's Sword Qi, but they felt that Lin Long would definitely withdraw his attack in the end, because if they did not, Lin Long would definitely be struck by their Qi, and at that time, even if they injured Hu Yanming, he would be severely injured.

But they were wrong, Lin Long didn't care at all, looking as if he would hurt Hu Yanming even if he died.

Seeing Lin Long like this, Hu Yanming's face changed drastically.

At this time, he could only grit his teeth and stubbornly hold on. He had no other choice.

Lin Long, even if you harm me, you will inevitably fall in the end! Hu Yanming coldly snorted in his heart.

It was at this time when his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, that Lin Long's sword energy had struck his body and the powerful sword energy directly sent him flying.

For a moment, he felt as if his entire body was about to tear apart. The next moment, his head buzzed and he fainted.

What made him sigh in relief was that at the same time he was sent flying, he saw the scene of Lin Long being struck by someone else's palm force.

Lin Long, you will definitely die. This is Hu Yanming's last thought.

Lin Long, who was struck by another person's palm also flew out. Seeing this situation, Nangong Yi, who was not far away, could not help but exclaim, "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin!"

Afterwards, she no longer cared about the surrounding situation, and directly charged towards Lin Long.

At the same time Lin Long landed on the ground, Nangong Yi arrived beside Lin Long as well. However, her face quickly revealed a trace of happiness, because she realized that Lin Long had immediately stood up.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, are you alright?" Nangong Yi hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Yi." Lin Long could not help but smile.

Seeing Lin Long act this way, Nangong Yi's anxious heart was completely at ease. Huo Zhengcheng and the rest were also feeling the same way.

On the other hand, the people on the Archaeopterygium were different. They were all nervous because after Hu Yanming was sent flying, they did not stand up, and did not know whether he was dead or alive.

Even so, the people of Archaeopterygium still had the upper hand, because of the rune clothes on their bodies.

"Lin Gongzi, let's leave this Ancient Spring Pavilion and go clean up outside." Huo Zhengcheng quickly replied.

"Don't worry." Lin Long said.

Once he finished speaking, Lin Long picked up the violet sun sword in his hands, and then, ignited the spirit flames on his body, as he immediately charged towards the Archaeopterygium s in front of him.

Although he was severely injured, how could he, who possessed the body technique, possibly lose the ability to fight that easily?

Once Lin Long joined the battle, coupled with the fact that the people from Archaeopterygium became fearful because of the unknown fact that Hu Yanming was dead, Lin Long's side quickly gained the upper hand.

After a while, they had killed all the people from Archaeopterygium.

Seeing that the situation was not good, two elders of the Archaeopterygium wanted to quickly bring Hu Yanming away, but just as they moved, a person appeared in front of them, and blocked them. It was Lin Long.

Seeing Lin Long appear, the two elders immediately abandoned Hu Yanming and ran off.

With Hu Yanming right in front of his eyes, the Lin Long who had almost exhausted all of his energy did not chase after him, but instead, came in front of him.

In the next moment, after a pat on Hu Yanming's body, the originally unconscious Hu Yanming woke up immediately.

Looking at the situation around him, Hu Yanming's expression immediately darkened. He understood that he had lost, and Archaeopterygium had lost.

"Lin Long, what sword technique was that just now? How could you be so strong? How could you withstand the attacks of so many people?" Then, Hu Yanming said unwillingly.

"You don't even know what this sword technique is, as for why I was able to withstand the attacks of so many people, it was because I have trained in body technique." Lin Long said lightly.

"body technique, you actually have a body technique!" Hearing Lin Long's words, Hu Yanming could not help but be shocked.

With his experience, he naturally knew how difficult it was to cultivate body technique, and was extremely surprised when he saw that Lin Long had actually cultivated body technique to such an extent at such a young age.

"Now, where is Mu Ling?" Soon after, Lin Long said coldly.

Hearing Lin Long mention such a thing, Hu Yanming could not help but bitterly smile, "Li Muling, I really do not know where she is."

Seeing that he was not lying, Lin Long asked, "Where is the devil behind you guys? Did he take Mu Ling away?"

"There's really such a possibility." Hu Yanming said.

"Then where is he now? Bring me to him." Lin Long immediately replied.

"Senior's strength is powerful and is not something that you can deal with. I'd advise you to not go and find him. Of course, if you want to die, I don't mind bringing you along." Hu Yanming said.

Afraid that Hu Yanming was playing some tricks, Lin Long immediately placed a few restrictions on his body. After a few restrictions were placed, Hu Yanming finally understood why everyone who was captured by Lin Long was so obedient.

After that, Huo Zhengcheng and the rest who were cleaning up the battlefield came over to Lin Long's side.

"Lin Gongzi, other than a few people who escaped, the majority of the people in Archaeopterygium are under our control." Huo Zhengcheng, who was standing beside Lin Long, laughed.

Li Yiming asked anxiously, "Lin Gongzi, can you tell me where Mu Ling is?"

"I don't know at the moment, but I already know the location of the demon, so Hu Yanming will bring us there later." Lin Long said.

"Young master, should we attack immediately?" Pan Yi asked.

"I'll rest for a while and go after my strength is fully recovered." Lin Long said.

Afterwards, the group rested outside of the Ancient Spring Pavilion. The reason they did so was naturally because it was safer outside. After all, they had no way to activate the rune clothes inside the Ancient Spring Pavilion.

As for Lin Long, he was naturally taking the top-grade healing medicine and started meditating on the spot to recover.

When he recovered, he took Huo Zhengcheng and the others to the place where the Demon was.

The devil was at the belly of the mountain behind the Ancient Spring Mountain, which was extremely well-hidden. Adding to the fact that the surrounding area was a Symbol Grammar Array which had an effect of concealment, and that this Symbol Grammar Array was related to the Overbearing Rune, Lin Long had not noticed it before.

Under Hu Yanming's guidance, they arrived outside the Demon's cave.

"Lin Gongzi, there is an entrance behind those giant boulders. Entering through this entrance would allow you to enter the cave where the demon is." At this time, Hu Yanming pointed at a few large rocks in front of them.

Lin Long and the rest immediately led Hu Yanming towards that direction.

"Who is it?"

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he heard a cold voice sounding from inside.

"It's me!" Hu Yanming immediately replied.

Upon recognizing Hu Yanming's voice, the person inside said, "So it's Sect Master."

With that, the giant rock blocking the entrance of the cave slowly moved to the side. Then, a middle-aged man with a stern expression appeared in front of them.

"Sovereign, they are?" Seeing that there was someone beside Hu Yanming that he had never seen before, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Don't worry, they are strong reinforcements from our Archaeopterygium, this time they are here to pay their respects to our senior." Hu Yanming said in a serious tone.

"So that's how it is." The middle-aged man nodded, then stepped aside, allowing Lin Long and the others to enter.

The outside of the cave was not that big, and it could only allow four people to pass through at once. However, the deeper they went, the bigger the cave became. After a while, a stone cave that was about the size of a small training field appeared in front of them.

Based on what Hu Yanming said before, Lin Long knew that this was only the outer part of the cave.

There were also many people from the Archaeopterygium s protecting the cave. Because Hu Yanming was walking in front, they did not attack Lin Long and the others.

This cave was nothing, Hu Yanming brought Lin Long and the rest and continued their journey. After a while, another cave that was similar to the first cave appeared in front of them.

Upon entering the cave, Lin Long saw many wooden cells nearby, every cell had a woman locked inside, the entire cave had at least a hundred women inside. The women inside were all in untidy clothes, looking haggard, and all of them looked to be in a trance.

This situation caused Li Yiming to be extremely worried, because it was very likely that Li Muling would encounter something like this as well.

There were many warriors from the Archaeopterygium here.

Lin Long looked towards the wooden cells and scanned the entire cave. He frowned, because Li Muling did not seem to be here.

A little further, they suddenly took action, attacking towards the Archaeopterygium warriors.

The warriors did not expect that Hu Yanming's men would suddenly attack them, so, without making any sound, Lin Long and the rest were able to take them down.

When they took it down, they immediately walked towards the wooden cells. Although they did not see Li Muling in the scan just now, but it was possible that he did not see through it due to the light, so they naturally had to take it seriously.

After walking for a while, Lin Long stopped in front of one of the cells, because he realised that the woman inside had dishevelled hair, she seemed to look a little similar to Li Muling.

However, he was quickly disappointed, because the woman was not Li Muling.

While Lin Long observed the women one by one, the others had already released the women that were locked in the cell.

These women were quickly brought out of the cave.

"Hu Yanming, is there any place that imprison females?" After that, Lin Long walked over to Hu Yanming and asked.

"I don't know. At most, I was only here. There's no way to get in." Hu Yanming immediately shook his head.

"Lin Gongzi, what should we do?" Li Yiming could not help but ask.

"Naturally, we have to go in. However, the deeper we go, the more dangerous it becomes. It is more likely that the devil will sense us, so we can't let so many people go in." Lin Long said.

Following that, he called out four people, and Huo Zhengcheng was naturally one of them. As for the others, they were to wait outside.

Because of his strength, Li Yiming was naturally not one of the four.

Very quickly, they entered another cave that was about the same size. The moment they entered the cave, Lin Long frowned slightly, because he could feel the aura of a Spirit Demon being emitted from inside.

Not only him, Huo Zhengcheng and the others could feel it too.

"Lin Gongzi, is that demon a demon?" Huo Zhengcheng could not help but say.

"That's a possibility." Lin Long nodded.

In this cave, they didn't find anything. However, when they entered the next cave, they found a pile of white bones. And from the looks of it, they were all new bones.2

"Don't tell me this devil eats humans!" One of the four people couldn't help but be surprised.

Lin Long did not speak, but his tightly knitted brows revealed the unease in his heart.

After walking for a while longer, Lin Long's pupils suddenly shrank. He then walked towards the left side of the cave wall and bent down. He then picked up a black ring from the ground.

"This is?" Huo Zhengcheng who was walking over could not help but ask.

"This is the ring Mu Ling is wearing." Lin Long said.

This ring wasn't some rune space ring, but Li Muling had worn it often, saying that her mother had given it to her.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid Lady Mu Ling has already suffered a terrible fate." Huo Zhengcheng said.

"There is such a possibility." At this time, Lin Long couldn't help but sigh. However, before he finds the devil, he would naturally not give up.

After searching for a while longer, Lin Long and the rest who could not find anything useful continued to walk forward.

Soon, they entered another cave. As soon as they entered, their frown deepened because the bones on the ground were obviously more numerous than the ones on the outside.

After a careful examination, Lin Long still did not find anything.

Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly felt a strong aura coming from ahead.

Huo Zhengcheng and the others also felt it, so they stopped.

"Looks like that devil is inside." Huo Zhengcheng said.

"You have to be more careful." With that said, Lin Long took the lead and walked forward.

A moment later, they were back in another cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, they found that it was four or five times larger than the previous one. The entire cave looked extremely eerie. In this eerie place, the deepest part of the cave glowed with a black light.
