1496: C1496 Elder Wang

C1496 Elder Wang

"Since senior has invited me, junior will accept it." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

After saying so, his body moved and he directly rushed towards the pavilion.

He then landed on the second floor of the building.

Walking in, he saw an elder with white beard and hair sitting inside. The elder wore a kind smile on his face.

Standing beside the elderly man was an eleven to twelve year old youth. When he saw Lin Long, he panicked a little and said, "Great Master Elder, it's him!"

Lin Long had seen this youth before he entered the Main Hall of the Inner River Sect. Now that he saw him here, he naturally knew that he was here to report to the Grand Elder.

The old man smiled and said, "Wang Tong, you can leave now."

Hearing the old man's words, the youth named Wang Tong immediately walked out.

"Little brother, please sit." The old man looked at Lin Long and said.

As for Lin Long, without being polite, he directly sat opposite the old man.

"Little brother, from the looks of it, you seem to have come specifically to find this old man. May I know what's the matter?" After Lin Long sat down, the old man directly spoke out.

Lin Long guessed that the old man should be the Sect Leader mentioned by Princess Changle's mother, and went straight to the point, "I came because of Imperial Concubine Hua Ling."

Imperial Concubine Hua Ling was the mother of Princess Changle.

"Imperial Consort Hua Ling? What happened to her? " Hearing Lin Long's words, the old man was shocked and worried.

"Recently, Imperial Concubine Hua Ling didn't have a good life in the palace. Her daughter was even forced to marry into the capital. That's why she asked me to come and find you in order to free myself." Lin Long said.

Then, he took out the other letter that was contained in the previous letter. This letter was specifically written by Imperial Concubine Hua Ling to the elderly man, other than this letter, the other Imperial Concubine Huang's letter, the jade pendant was also taken out by Lin Long.

Taking the jade ornament and letter, the old man looked at them carefully. After confirming that it was a letter from Imperial Consort Hua Ling, he opened the letter and started to read it seriously.

The more he looked at him, the uglier his face became. In the end, he slammed his palm on the tea table in front of him.

"How preposterous!" he said angrily.

"Three days later, Princess Changle will be marrying into the Western Capital. At that time, Imperial Concubine Hua Ling will be together with them. If Grand Elder is willing to help, I am willing to lend a hand." Lin Long said at this time.

"Of course I have to help. Imperial Concubine Hua Ling once saved my life, so how could I not help?" The old man frowned.

After which, the old man looked towards Lin Long and said, "Little brother, you are not a disciple of my Inner River Sect, you can call me Elder Wang from now on."

"Sure." Lin Long smiled indifferently.

"You must have suffered a lot of obstacles in your way. I apologize on their behalf." The old man said again.

"I wonder why they are stopping us like this?" Lin Long asked doubtfully.

"Naturally, it's because they don't want me to go out, and I've always been cultivating a metal attribute cultivation technique." After hearing the old man's words, Lin Long finally understood.

It turned out that the old man had been cultivating in seclusion here for five to six years.

During this period of time, the old man focused on his cultivation and never took a step out of this place.

The reason why Chen Xing stopped him was because he knew of the relationship between the old man and Imperial Concubine Hua Ling. Since he could tell that Lin Long had come to ask for the old man's help because of Imperial Concubine Hua Ling, he naturally wanted to stop him.

After all, their Inner River Sect only had this kind of expert, and it was not easy for them to interfere in the Imperial City's matters. That was why Chen Xing did everything he could to stop him.

"Little brother, how should I address you?" Then, Elder Wang asked.

"Surnamed Tang." Lin Long said.

"Little brother is truly gifted, to actually have the strength of Level Four Warrior at such a young age. May I know who master you are talking about?" Elder Wang asked curiously.

Even if it was a warrior, he was curious. After all, Lin Long was too young.

"My master is indifferent to fame and fortune, so it is inconvenient for me to tell you. Elder Wang, please forgive me." Lin Long smiled slightly.

Elder Wang could not help but feel a bit disappointed, but he did not insist. After nodding his head, he said, "Little Brother Tang, follow me downstairs."

As he said that, he stood up and walked downstairs. Lin Long followed behind him.

Very quickly, the two of them walked out of the pavilion. At this moment, most of the people from the Inner River Sect had gathered in front of the pavilion.

"Grand Elder, why did you come out?" Seeing the old man come out, Chen Xing couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

He knew that the old man's cultivation technique would still need a year or two. If he came out now, he would most likely stop halfway.

The others were also aware of this fact, and their faces were filled with shock and worry.

"You don't have to worry, I've pretty much finished cultivating my cultivation technique, and this time I came out because of something important." The old man said.

Following that, he looked towards Chen Xing and said, "Sect Master, I've left the sect for a period of time. I've troubled you quite a bit over this period of time."

"Grand Elder!" Chen Xing hurriedly replied upon hearing the old man's words.

However, he did not finish his words because the old man had already interrupted him.

"Chen Xing, this is my personal matter." The old man said.

After a brief pause, he said, "Alright, you can let everyone disperse."

Chen Xing immediately turned around and looked at Everyone at the scene, "From now on, no one is allowed to leave the sect, and those who violate the sect rules will be served!"

Chen Xing knew why the old man wanted to leave. He knew that if someone spread this sort of news to the Imperial City, it would be a disaster for the old man and their inner river sect.

So, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he gave the order directly.

Seeing through the reason, Lin Long could not help but nod to himself, secretly praising Chen Xing's actions.

Only after Chen Xing finished his sentence did everyone disperse.

"Grand master, we are leaving now." Then, the old man said.

Time waited for no one. Therefore, he had to leave as soon as possible.

"Highest Elder, how about you let me find a few people to help you?" Chen Xing continued.

"There's no need for that. It's not like you don't know the strength of the people in the Royal Capital." The old man shook his head.

Chen Xing knew this, so he didn't say anything more.

Just as the old man and Lin Long were about to leave, a disciple of the Inner River Sect suddenly ran over in a panic.

"Lu Ran, what happened?" Chen Xing hurriedly asked.

"Sect Leader, just now, after you gave the order, a disciple forcefully broke through the gate and left. We did not expect him to make a move, therefore, a few people were directly injured by him and he was allowed to escape." The disciple said anxiously.

"Is it that Guo Mu?" Chen Xing's expression darkened.

"It's him!" The disciple immediately nodded.

"I already knew that he would stir up trouble and come with me. This sect's master has caught him and brought him back." With these words, Chen Xing's body moved and he directly dashed forward.

"Little Brother Tang, we should also chase after him. If that person manages to escape, it will not be beneficial to our rescue of Imperial Concubine Hua." Elder Wang said to Lin Long.

With that, he chased after Chen Xing, and as for Lin Long, he was naturally right behind him.

The few of them quickly arrived at the entrance of the sect.

"Where did Guo Mu run off to just now?" Chen Xing said to the disciples who were still standing guard here.

"Sovereign, he ran over there … Senior Martial Brother Lu and the others are already chasing after him." One of the disciples quickly pointed to the right.

After confirming the direction, Chen Xing immediately chased after it.

Lin Long and Elder Wang naturally followed closely behind him.

"Little Brother Lin, this Guo Mu's parents actually died because of me. Originally, Chen Xing advised me to cut the grass off its roots, but I thought that he wasn't wrong, so I didn't make a move. I trained him continuously, and in the end, he still made such a choice."

"Is that so?" Lin Long nodded.

Before long, the group had chased them into a dense forest, where they ran into several disciples of the Inner River Sect.

These disciples were currently frowning with worry, obviously having lost Guo Mu.

Seeing Chen Xing and the others chasing after them, one of them quickly said, "Supreme Elder, Sect Master, we've chased them here, but we don't know where Guo Mu has escaped to."

Chen Xing didn't say anything. Instead, he frowned as he surveyed his surroundings.

Lin Long and Elder Wang also went up to check on the possible traces Chen Xing had left behind.

After a while, Lin Long found a piece of rag in front of him. This piece of rag was torn down just now, and it was obviously made from the clothes of the Inner River Sect disciples.

After taking a few steps forward, he was sure of the direction that Guo Mu was escaping in. Lin Long immediately said to Elder Wang and Chen Xing, "It should be this way."

After saying that, he chased after them. In order to speed up, he activated the flying machine behind him.

The moment the flying ship was activated, he was sent flying into the air.

"Peak of fourth level?" Looking at Lin Long who was flying in the air, these people of the Inner River Sect all opened their eyes wide.

"That's an aircraft!" Elder Wang, who knew that Lin Long was using a flying machine, directly said so.

The flying ship! When they heard that it was a flying machine, they were equally shocked.

After all, they had only heard of this type of divine artifact before.

Not just the ordinary disciples, but even Chen Xing was full of envy.

Of course, now was not the time to be envious, so after the surprise, they quickly followed behind Lin Long.

As for that Highest Elder, Elder Wang, he had also activated the wings behind his back.

The reason why Lin Long activated the flying ship was not because he wanted to show off, but because he wanted to find Guo Mu as soon as possible.

After all, if he allowed Guo Mu to escape to the Imperial City, or leak out such information, it would be difficult for the two of them to save Princess Changle.

After chasing for a while, Lin Long, who was in the air, saw a figure appear in the dense forest not far away from him. From the person's clothes, it should be the inner river disciple.2

Therefore, Lin Long immediately headed towards the man.

In just a few moments, Lin Long had landed behind that person. Hearing a sound coming from behind him, that person turned around and realised it was Lin Long, and his face immediately changed greatly.

He immediately sped up his speed.

As for Lin Long, he naturally wanted to catch up.
