However, these Flaming Winged Birds were extremely ferocious. Three people were injured the moment they came into contact with them. Linlong's side had one person injured, while the emperor's side had two.
Linlong knew that things would go on like this, so he made a prompt decision. "Everyone, use your joint attack technique!"
There were exactly 10 of them, so they could split into two groups and use their joint attack technique.
Hearing his words, Qian Jiayi and the others quickly divided into two groups and used a joint attack. Because they had used the joint attack many times before, they had a tacit understanding. So even at such a critical moment, they could still quickly divide into two groups and use the joint attack.
The moment they used their joint attack technique, they discovered that they were actually able to temporarily defend against the Flaming Winged Birds' attacks.
This made them heave a sigh of relief.
However, the emperor's side was in a different situation. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they did not have a joint attack technique, so they were unable to defend against these Flaming Winged Birds.
Fortunately, they had formed a circle, so they were not as passive as they had been at the beginning.
However, if this were to continue, they would definitely perish in this altar.
"Your Majesty, we should leave the mystic realm quickly. If this goes on, we will definitely die here!" A eunuch beside the emperor said hurriedly.
The emperor was currently surrounded by many experts, so he was not attacked by the Flaming Winged Birds.
The emperor's frown deepened when he heard this. He knew that the eunuch was right.
He had no choice but to lead a group of people and silently recite a rune term before leaving.
After they left, only a few of the remaining people managed to escape. The rest were all killed by the Flaming Winged Birds.
On the other hand, Linlong and the rest were able to slowly kill these Flaming Winged Birds due to their joint attack technique.
Although the Flaming Winged Birds' attacks did not cause them any harm, the number of Flaming Winged Birds left in front of them made them frown.
They were worried that they would not be able to hold on before all the Flaming Winged Birds were killed.
The only thing that made them heave a sigh of relief was that no more Flaming Winged Birds came out from the broken pillars.
"Young Master, can we kill these Flaming Winged Birds?" Miao Feng asked as he looked at the Flaming Winged Birds surrounding them.
There were at least 100 Flaming Winged Birds in front of them, and he was worried that they would be exhausted to death.
"Of course we can. As long as everyone perseveres," Linlong replied without hesitation.
Everyone's spirits were naturally lifted when they heard Linlong's words.
As time passed, all the Flaming Winged Birds were finally killed.
After killing the Flaming Winged Birds, everyone collapsed to the ground, especially Zhao Ying, who was already injured earlier.
If Linlong had not given him a supreme-grade healing pill after he was injured, he might not have been able to hold on until now.
"I didn't expect this …" Miao Feng's eyes. "I did not expect …"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that at all …" Qian Jiayi also sighed.
Their scalps had gone numb when they saw the Flaming Wing Birds. They had never thought that they would be able to last until the end.
"I'm afraid those ancestors would jump out of their coffins if they knew about this …" Dong Luo said.
"I never expected that you, Dong Luo, would also say such words …" Everyone could not help but laugh when they heard Dong Luo's words.
At the same time, they looked at Lin Long in shock. Naturally, this was because Lin Long still acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't feel tired at all. It was as if he hadn't attacked the Burning Winged Birds at all.
Everyone could see that Linlong had put in the most effort out of all of them.
"Young Master, why don't you feel tired?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask.
"That's because my body is different from ordinary people," Linlong replied with a faint smile.
Different from ordinary people? After hearing Linlong's words, everyone couldn't help but size him up. However, no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see anything special about him.
However, since Linlong didn't seem to have any intention of continuing, they naturally wouldn't ask.
After replying, Linlong walked to the spot where the pillar was broken. There was a huge hole there, and there was a flight of stairs leading downwards.
Linlong used his divine sense to scan the area, but he didn't discover anything. "Let's go down."
After saying that, he walked down the stairs. The others hurriedly followed behind him.
When they reached the end of the stairs, they saw a cave that was 30 meters tall and 60 meters wide.
Linlong's eyes immediately lit up when he arrived. There were three spatial cracks in the cave, and they were located on the left, middle, and right side.
However, these three spatial cracks were clearly enveloped by three extremely powerful runic arrays.
After taking a closer look, Linlong discovered that there was actually a wooden tablet on the right side of each spatial crack. There were runes drawn on it, and when Linlong walked closer, he discovered that it was actually the Great Purity Runes.
"There are actually spatial cracks here!"
"Did those Blazing Winged Birds come out from these three spatial cracks?"
"Could there be more Blazing Winged Birds coming out from these three spatial cracks?"
"Eh? There are actually three wooden tablets!"
"The runes on the wooden tablets seem to be the same runes that we comprehended when we comprehended the Absolute Silence Rune!"
...
While Linlong was pondering over the meaning of the Great Purity Runes, Qian Jiayi and the others began to discuss spiritedly.
Of course, they also quickly noticed that the three spatial cracks were enveloped by powerful runic arrays.
After pondering for a moment, Linlong inwardly nodded his head. He already understood the meaning of the Great Purity Runes on the three wooden tablets.
"Young Master, what do the runes on the tablets mean?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask when she saw that Linlong seemed to have understood something.
As for the others, they naturally focused their attention on Linlong, waiting for his answer.
"Rumble …"
Just as Linlong was about to answer, the entire ground suddenly shook violently. Runes flashed in the surroundings, but these runes didn't move at all.
"What's going on? Is the entire secret realm going to collapse?" Qian Jiayi and the others couldn't help but worry when they saw this.
They could tell that the shaking didn't have anything to do with the three spatial cracks, so they naturally associated it with the entire secret realm.
Fortunately, the shaking only lasted for a short while before it disappeared, and the cave returned to normal.
This situation naturally made everyone very puzzled.
At this moment, Li Tong's expression suddenly turned ugly. "His Majesty must be afraid that the Blazing Winged Birds will kill their way out, so he sealed the entrance of the secret realm. The runic array of the secret realm does have such a function. However, if it's sealed like this, we will never be able to open the secret realm again!"
"If that's the case, won't we be trapped in this secret realm forever?" This immediately made everyone worried.
"From the looks of it, if we can't leave through these three spatial cracks, then we will never be trapped in this secret realm," Li Tong said.
After hearing Li Tong's words, everyone immediately shifted their gazes to Linlong.
Linlong opened his mouth and said, "I already understand the meaning of the runes on these three wooden plaques. They roughly point out the direction of the three spatial cracks. Among them, the spatial crack on the left will allow us to walk out of the secret realm and return to the outside world."
"That's good." These words naturally made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Linlong continued, "As for the spatial crack in the middle, the meaning of the runes on the wooden plaques is unclear. It only says that it leads to an unknown alternate world."
"An unknown alternate world? Could it be an alternate world with the Blazing Winged Birds? "Miao Feng couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know about that." Linlong shook his head and continued, "However, the spatial crack on the right really leads to the alternate world with the Blazing Winged Birds."
"This is the one on the right?"
After hearing Linlong's words, everyone who was closer to the spatial crack on the right subconsciously walked to the left. They were worried that the Blazing Winged Birds would suddenly rush out from the spatial crack on the right.
"Then it's better if we don't touch the spatial crack on the right," Miao Feng immediately said.
"In that case, young master, how should we break the runic formation that envelopes these spatial cracks?" Qian Jiayi asked.
"The spatial crack on the left is easy, but the two on the right are troublesome …" Linlong paused at this point. He had no intention of continuing.
Seeing that he wasn't going to elaborate, everyone was naturally too embarrassed to continue asking.
Right now, Linlong was most interested in the spatial crack in the middle because it was very likely that he could return to the Cangyun Continent through it.
However, he currently had no way of breaking the runic formation in the middle because the wooden plaque said that he needed to use the Purple Flame Talisman.
Without the Purple Flame Talisman, he wouldn't be able to break the runic formation that enveloped this spatial crack.
As for the spatial crack on the right, that wasn't necessarily the case. It was very likely that an even more powerful attack could directly break the runic formation that enveloped it.
This was probably why the creator of the secret realm had built an altar outside and sealed the cave beneath it. This was to prevent the runic formation that enveloped the spatial crack on the right from being broken. If that happened, a large group of Blazing Winged Birds would rush over and endanger the entire icy cold world.
There was no way to break the runic formation in the middle, and Linlong didn't want to break the one on the right either. Thus, Linlong could only focus on the runic formation on the left and return after crafting the Purple Flame Talisman.
In the next moment, Linlong said, "Let's attack the runic formation on the left together like before. After breaking it, we will return to the outside world."
"Alright!" Everyone replied in unison.
However, Linlong didn't immediately order everyone to attack because he suddenly recalled that they could make use of the opportunities in the secret realm to raise their strength.
Thus, he changed his words. "Let's return to the secret realm first and make use of the opportunities to raise our strength. After all, this is a rare opportunity."
Hearing his words, everyone thought of this point, and they immediately expressed their agreement.
Only Qian Jiayi's brows were tightly furrowed. Linlong knew why she was frowning and he immediately said, "Miss Qian, are you worried about your parents and the Qian Family?"
Seeing that Linlong could see through her worries, Qian Jiayi nodded without hiding anything. "Young master, that's right."
After all, the emperor had already captured her father and the Qian Family. After the secret realm was forcefully sealed, the emperor would definitely vent his anger on the Qian Family. Thus, how could she not be worried?
Linlong immediately said, "Miss Qian, let's raise our strength first. That way, we will have a better chance of rescuing your father and the others."
Knowing that Linlong was right, Qian Jiayi immediately nodded and said, "Young master, I will focus on raising my strength first."
"That's good." Linlong nodded.
With that, he led the crowd back to the altar and walked out of it.
Not long after, they found a land of opportunities. Then, everyone began to comprehend inside. Linlong did the same.
While they were comprehending, the emperor of the Icepeak Nation was infuriated because Qian Jiayi's father and the other important figures of the Qian Family were actually rescued. Moreover, the person who rescued them was his son, the Fifth Prince.
He never expected that the Fifth Prince would betray him.
"Ruo An actually betrayed me. Why did he do it?" This question kept turning in the emperor's mind. However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not understand.
Unable to understand, he could only order a search of the entire imperial city. Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he had to find the Fifth Prince and the Qian Family.
However, half a day passed, and there was still no news. It was as if those people had suddenly disappeared.
Naturally, the emperor was unwilling to give up. He ordered his men to find them no matter what.
While the emperor's men were searching everywhere, the Fifth Prince and a group of important figures of the Qian Family appeared in Qinghe Town of Lingfeng City.
Lingfeng City was located in the east of the imperial city. It was not far from the imperial city.
The reason why the Fifth Prince brought them here was that one of the Manor Lords in Qinghe Town had received a favor from his mother. He knew that the Manor Lord would definitely not betray him if he brought them here.
At this moment, they were already not far from the Little Manor where the Manor Lord resided.
The group had already changed their appearances. The Fifth Prince even wore a mask made by Qin Shuyi, a skillful master, in order to evade capture.
At this moment, the Fifth Prince looked at Qian Zhenghe and said, "Clan Head Qian, we are already not far from the Little Manor. We will arrive in another thirty minutes."
At this moment, the Fifth Prince looked at Qian Zhenghe and said, "Is that so? That's good."
Qian Zhenghe heaved a sigh of relief. After a short pause, he quickly said, "Fifth Prince, I really have to thank you this time. If not for you, our family would not have been able to escape from the imperial palace."
"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Young Master Lin." The Fifth Prince said.
Naturally, it was because he had taken Lin Long's Fate Listening Pill. Otherwise, he would not have taken such a huge risk to save Qian Zhenghe and the others.
The reason he could save Qian Zhenghe and the others was not only because of his identity, but also because the emperor had brought a large group of experts into the secret realm, causing the people in the imperial palace to be weak. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to save Qian Zhenghe and the others.
"If Young Master Lin wants to thank someone, you must also thank Fifth Prince." Qian Zhenghe said.
Qian Zhenghe naturally did not know who the Young Master Lin that the Fifth Prince spoke of was. He had never heard Qian Jiayi mention him before.
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the gate of a manor.
From afar, they could see three words on the gate — Little Manor.
