After following the trail for a period of time, they suddenly heard the sounds of fighting.
Could someone be fighting with the Flaming Winged Bird? Linlong thought to himself.
He didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed in that direction.
The others naturally followed closely behind him.
Before they even reached the place, Linlong could already see flames in front of them.
It seemed like it was the Flaming Winged Bird. Linlong was naturally elated.
However, when he reached the place where the fight had taken place, his expression turned ugly. The Flaming Winged Bird had already disappeared, leaving behind only ashes.
Clearly, the Flaming Winged Bird had been defeated and had self-combusted.
An old man and a middle-aged man stood there. They seemed to be in a sorry state, and one of them had half of his clothes burned away. It was obvious that they were the ones who had defeated the Flaming Winged Bird.
Linlong could tell that they were experts who could activate level-five ice talismans.
Since there were only two of them, this meant that they had only encountered one Flaming Winged Bird.
If there were two of them, they wouldn't be able to defeat it with their current strength.
"Excuse me, why are you here?" the middle-aged man asked as he looked at Linlong.
After saying that, he frowned. He could clearly see that there were many people following behind Linlong.
"I heard the sounds of fighting, so I came over to take a look … Seniors, why are you in such a sorry state?" Linlong pretended to be puzzled.
"To tell you the truth, we just encountered a Flaming Winged Bird. Fortunately, there was only one. Otherwise, the two of us would have died here. Don't get involved if you don't have anything to do, especially in places where there are special flames," the old man said earnestly.
"Understood, Senior." Linlong nodded.
"Did the people behind you come here with you?" the middle-aged man asked.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
At this moment, the others had already arrived behind Linlong.
The moment they arrived, the middle-aged man swept his gaze across them before shifting his gaze to Qian Jiayi.
After sizing up Qian Jiayi, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You are Qian Jiayi!"
"Uncle, you must have mistaken me for someone else," Qian Jiayi said in surprise.
She did not expect that a random person would be able to recognize her. It was one thing for the old woman in front of her to have worked for the Qian Clan, but this person in front of her had probably never even been to the Imperial City.
"I'm not mistaken. You're the Qian Jiayi in the portrait!" The next moment, the other party said with certainty.
"That's right, you're the Qian Jiayi in the portrait!" The old man beside him also said at this moment.
It was obvious that the emperor had asked someone to get Qian Jiayi's portrait. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have said that.
Then, the middle-aged man looked at the others and said, "In that case, the rest of you came out from the Imperial City's Secret Zone with Qian Jiayi?"
The two of them retreated as they spoke.
"That's right." Seeing that the two of them had already seen through him, Lin Long could not be bothered to hide anything and directly nodded his head.
"Why did you bring the Flaming Wing Birds to this world? Don't you know that the Flaming Wing Birds will bring a destructive disaster to the Frigid World?" The old man gnashed his teeth.
He had a look of deep hatred on his face. It was obvious that he hated Linlong and the others who had "brought" the Flaming Winged Bird to this world.
"Senior, you're wrong. The Flaming Wing Birds did not appear in the Frigid World because of us," Linlong refuted directly.
"If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?" The middle-aged man said coldly.
"We don't know either. We're still investigating," Qian Jiayi said.
"Investigating? Why are you still investigating when you released them? "The middle-aged man sneered.
"Uncle, please give us some time. We'll definitely find the reason!" Qian Jiayi promised.
However, the other party did not appreciate her kindness at all. "Stop crying crocodile tears. You have an ulterior motive!"
"Qian Jiayi, no matter what, you have to think of the people of the Frigid World. Do you know how many people have died to the flames of the Flaming Wing Birds? Take the nearby village for example. 90% of the people there died to the flames of the Flaming Wing Birds we just killed … So, I beg you, please don't release the Flaming Wing Birds again!" The old man was even more emotional.
"Senior, it really wasn't us." Qian Jiayi could only say this.
"Hehe, you were the ones who turned the imperial palace's secret realm upside down. His Majesty had no choice but to close the secret realm. Now that you've come out and the Flaming Wing Birds have appeared, who else other than you can do this?" The middle-aged man said coldly.
Qian Jiayi became anxious again. "Senior, it really wasn't us …"
"Lady Qian, don't bother with them. Let's go!" Linlong interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
The reason why Linlong interrupted her was because he could see that it was pointless to argue with the two of them. The only way to convince them was to find the source of the Flaming Wing Birds.
The moment he said this, the middle-aged man, who was clearly afraid of them, shouted, "You can't leave!"
Linlong could not be bothered with him. He immediately gestured for everyone to leave.
Who would have thought that the two of them would block their way?
"You need to follow us to His Majesty and explain everything. Then, bring the Flaming Wing Birds away from the Frigid World and never let them enter again!" The middle-aged man said coldly.
Linlong furrowed his brows and said to Miao Feng and Dong Luo, "Take them down!"
The moment they heard his order, Miao Feng and Dong Luo immediately stepped forward and took out their Grade 5 Ice Talismans.
"I know you're powerful, but how can we give up!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.
As he spoke, the two of them also took out their Grade 5 Ice Talismans.
In the next moment, the four of them immediately activated the Ice Talismans in their hands.
Immediately after, waves of cold air enveloped the surrounding space.
Once the cold air was activated, the two of them's expressions changed drastically. This was because Miao Feng and Dong Luo were obviously stronger than them. In just a short while, they would not be able to hold on.
"You … have completely mastered Grade 5 Ice Talismans!" The two of them shouted with extremely ugly expressions.
They really could not understand how Miao Feng and Dong Luo managed to do this at such a young age.
After a short while, the two of them directly knelt on the ground.
"Young Master, how should we deal with them?" Miao Feng asked.
"If you want to kill or torture them, it's up to you!" The middle-aged man said calmly.
Unexpectedly, Linlong said, "Let them go."
Miao Feng and Dong Luo were naturally puzzled. However, since Linlong said so, they retreated and gave up on the idea of restraining the two of them.
"Why did you do this?" The middle-aged man could not help but ask.
In his opinion, given their hostility, Linlong and the others would at least make them suffer after taking them down. They might even kill them directly. Who would have thought that they would actually let them go?
"It's very simple. I can see that you're really thinking for the sake of this world." At this point, Linlong suddenly changed the topic, "However, if you go against us again, then I can only apologize!"
After saying that, he led the group to continue searching the surroundings.
Since there was only one here, there should be another one nearby.
"Could it be that the appearance of the Flaming Winged Bird has nothing to do with them?" The middle-aged man muttered to himself as he looked at the backs of Linlong and the others.
However, no one could give him an answer at this point.
