As for Zhao Xiangrong, she let out a cold snort, and hugged Lin Long's arm even tighter.
Li Ying understood that this was Zhao Xiangrong's doing, but he could not do anything about it. He could only curse Lin Long angrily in his heart, trying to think of a way to teach him a lesson.
As for Elder Long and Elder Wang, they had originally wanted to teach Zhao Xiangrong a lesson, but upon seeing this situation, they could only conceal their thoughts and think of a suitable time.
Although they were polite on the surface, they were secretly hiding something in their hearts.
Although Zhao Xiangrong made things go wrong, but during this period of time, she thought of another way, so he was not worried that she would not get the Flowerless Fruit later.
While drinking the tea, he could clearly feel the dense spiritual energy outside the room. He reckoned that the Flowerless Fruit was outside the room in the courtyard.
After a while, when the time was right, Lin Long suggested to relieve himself.
Since Lin Long did not seem to have much strength on the surface, the Dragon Elder and Elder Wang were not worried that Lin Long would do anything, so they did not pay much attention to Lin Long.
As for Lin Long, he took this opportunity to release the Flaming Beast.
Even though he could now attack these two elders and Li Ying directly and then snatch away the Flowerless Fruit.
However, this was a more dangerous situation because he couldn't guarantee that he'd be able to defeat them before Zhao Kuang arrived.
Therefore, Lin Long chose to use another method.
His method was simple, it was the same as the palanquin that had entered Zhao Xiangrong's body previously, using the method of attacking from the east to the west.
When he returned to his room to drink tea with Zhao Xiangrong and the others, the Flaming Beast had already started a massacre outside. Other than the two great elders, there were about ten or so warriors with Martial Master Realm level 8 and above.
However, these people were all scattered around, how could they be the opponent of the Flaming Beast? As a result, the Flaming Beast was not obstructed at all, causing a series of screams to ring out from outside.
Very soon, a man with blood all over his face rushed out of their room. Before he could even enter their room, he fell to the ground with a thud.
"There's a strong enemy coming from outside …" After saying those few words, he fainted.
Elder Wang and Elder Long looked at each other.
They could naturally tell that the person who could kill so many of them in such a short period of time was definitely an expert who was in the mid to late stages of Martial Lord Realm.
"Elder Wang, I'll go out and take a look. You stay here and watch." After saying those words, Elder Long immediately rushed out.
"Alright." When Elder Wang nodded, Elder Long's figure had already disappeared.
"There is actually someone who dares to invade Wuhua Mountain, his courage is too great. Elder Long, I will go out to help Elder Long." Li Ying had an angry expression.
He was a powerhouse at the peak of the ninth stage of the Martial Master Realm, and had a Rune Sealing Sword, spirit fire, and other treasures on him. He felt that he could protect himself from the attacks of the Martial Lord Realm experts, so he naturally wanted to show off in front of Zhao Xiangrong.
"Alright, Young Master Li, it's good if you go out to help." Elder Wang nodded.
He knew of Li Ying's strength, so he didn't worry about Li Ying leaving. Of course, it was because there seemed to be only one person outside, otherwise, Li Ying would be courting death if he went out.
"However, as the son-in-law of the Zhao Family, it doesn't seem right for Lin Feng to not go out with you." After standing up, Li Ying intentionally said this.
From his point of view, Lin Long definitely did not dare to go out, and if that was the case, he would definitely be at a disadvantage in Zhao Xiangrong's heart.
If Lin Long went out, it would suit his wishes, because to him, with Lin Long's strength, if he went out, it would be suicide. Of course, at that time, he wouldn't mind helping Lin Long "send himself to death".
Lin Long smiled, he stood up and did not mind at all, "Since Young Master Li is so cordial with your invitation, then how can this young master not go out?"
"That's good." A sinister smile appeared on Li Ying's face as he directly walked out in large strides.
As for Lin Long, she was naturally following behind him.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiangrong hurriedly said, "I'm going as well."
Somehow, she felt that the moment she let go of him, Lin Long, her fiance, would fly away so easily. So, even though she knew that it would only be a mess if she went out with her strength, she still said that.
She didn't just say it, but stood up as she spoke.
After all, she was the young miss of the Zhao Family. If there was something wrong, it would be hard for Elder Wang to explain. Thus, when she stood up, Elder Wang quickly stood in front of her and said, "Young miss, this is not child's play."
"No, I must get out." Zhao Xiangrong said resolutely.
Helpless, Elder Wang could only sigh lightly and offend him. After that, he directly struck the back of Zhao Xiangrong's head with his palm, causing Zhao Xiangrong to faint.
During this delay, Li Ying's scream suddenly came from outside, thinking that the enemy had already arrived outside the door. Elder Wang, who was frightened, quickly rushed out.
After rushing to the door, he saw that it was empty. There was no one there, so he walked around for a while to confirm that there was no one outside before returning to his room.
Then, somewhat worriedly, he opened the back door of the room.
When he looked behind him, his expression changed drastically because the Flowerless Fruit on the tree had already disappeared.
It was clear that he had fallen into the enemy's trap of luring him out of the mountain.
In his astonishment, he was puzzled. This was because there was a rune array protecting the side of the Flowerless Tree, so how could the other party pick the Flowerless Fruit without him even knowing?
How could he know that with Lin Long's attainments with the Symbol Literature, this tiny Rune Circle would not be difficult for him at all.
During the time they were drinking tea in the room, Lin Long had used his powerful consciousness to figure out the structure of the rune array. After walking out of the room, he immediately knocked Li Ying down and activated his green wings to fly to the location of the Flowerless Fruit.
As for Li Ying, he didn't even have the ability to resist during his sneak attack.
To be honest, he still had to thank Li Ying. If not for Li Ying attracting Elder Wang out, he wouldn't have been able to destroy the rune array and obtain the Flowerless Fruit so easily.
After a moment of surprise, Elder Wang began to search in all directions for possible figures, but he couldn't find any.
Could it be that the other party was an expert at the late stage of the Martial Lord Realm or above, and had already flown away from this Wu Hua Mountain after transforming into a feather with profound energy? Thinking of something, Elder Wang's expression became extremely ugly.
Thinking this, he immediately rushed out to find that Elder Long. At that moment, that Elder Long also rushed back from the outside.

"Elder Long, Wu Hua Guo was taken by the strong." Upon seeing Elder Long, Elder Wang immediately shouted.
"What?" Elder Long was stunned.
At that moment, Elder Wang quickly told him what had happened just now. He then asked, "Elder Long, did you see the other party's figure when you were outside?"
Elder Long shook his head, "I've been walking around outside for a bit. Aside from those subordinates, I can't see the slightest trace of them."
"Could he be alone?" Elder Wang immediately said in surprise.
"If that's the case, then the opponent's strength is too terrifying." Elder Long said with a serious expression.
"Ai, no matter what, I've already lost the Flowerless Fruit. I really don't know how to face the City Lord anymore." Elder Wang said with a sigh.
Right at this time, a figure suddenly descended from the sky. Seeing the figure that appeared not too far away, the two couldn't help but exclaim in joy, "City Lord!"
The person who had just arrived was naturally the Master of Black Wind City, Zhao Ai. When the Flaming Beast had attacked the people outside, he had already received the warning signal from the rune array, and then directly rushed over from Black Wind City.
Zhao Danchen was tall and big, with a dignified expression on his face.
"What's going on?" he asked grimly as he approached.
Needless to say more, something big had happened at Wuhua Mountain. Now, he just wanted to see just how big the matter was.
"The mayor's Flowerless Fruit was taken by someone." Elder Wang quickly replied.
"What?" At these words, Zhao Qi was immediately enraged. "Who took it?"
This Flowerless Fruit had been nurtured for so long and had spent so many precious ingredients just for its own maturation. Who would have thought that it would be snatched away before it matured?
"I don't know." Elder Long and Elder Wang both shook their heads.
Seeing the two of them in such a state, Zhuan Qi immediately flapped his wings, flying into the air to search for them. He hoped to be able to find them.
After a long while, he helplessly descended from the air.
Afterwards, Elder Long and Elder Wang hurriedly told them everything, including Lin Long, the future son-in-law of the Zhao Family who appeared out of nowhere.
Listening to the two of them talk like this, and then slowly ponder over it, how could Zhao Qi not know that the problem lay with this "son-in-law".
Of course, it was possible that Li Ying had vanished, but the biggest suspect was still that "son-in-law."
Although the two elders said that this son-in-law didn't seem to be very strong, it was hard to say if he was working with someone from the inside. Otherwise, how could he suddenly appear and then disappear?
Due to the urgent matter, he did not have the time to curse at his daughter. Instead, he brought the others and began to search around Black Wind City.
When everyone was searching for Lin Long and Li Ying, Lin Long had already flown to a remote forest far away from Black Wind City with Li Ying.
Along the way, Li Ying had an expression of shock other than worry. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where Lin Feng had gotten his rune flying ship from.
Apart from this, Lin Long's strength had also shocked him. Even though he was clearly younger than him, his strength had already reached the Martial Lord Realm.
When he thought about how he had mocked the other party earlier, he felt that it was laughable.
