With that thought in mind, he even wanted to go all out and deal with Linlong and Qian Jiayi with the three of them. However, he eventually gave up on that idea because he knew that Linlong and Qian Jiayi had other experts backing them.
Even if he joined forces with the three of them, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Linlong and the others.
If he lost, he would probably have to suffer the same pain as before.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately gave up.
That pain was too unbearable, and he didn't want to experience it again.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Linlong and the others were still locked in battle. Since their strengths were on par, there was no way to determine a victor.
However, the three of them quickly turned ugly because a few more people rushed over from Linlong's side.
Naturally, they were the others who heard the commotion and rushed over.
Miao Feng, who was the first to rush over, immediately joined the battle. When the three of them saw that he had also taken out a level-5 ice talisman, they knew that they were doomed.
As expected, with Miao Feng's participation, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and were forced to kneel on the ground from the cold.
Only then did Linlong and the other two remove the ice energy.
After catching a breath, one of them asked, "Who are you people … Why did you stop us from releasing the Burning Winged Birds?"
"I am actually Qian Jiayi," Qian Jiayi said as she removed her mask.
"You are Qian Jiayi?" Qian Jiayi's words made the three of them dumbfounded.
They didn't expect the veiled woman to be Qian Jiayi.
"Qian Jiayi, His Majesty's declaration was right. You are the culprit behind the release of the Burning Winged Birds!" One of the three cursed angrily.
"We originally thought that there was more to it than meets the eye and wanted to investigate to see if that was the case. We didn't expect you to be the mastermind. Speak, what are you trying to do? Do you want to let the Burning Winged Birds kill everyone in our Frigid World?" One of them roared.
"You are wrong. In fact, we have our own objectives, and that is to track down the Burning Winged Birds and find out where they came from. After that, we will think of a way to eliminate the source," Qian Jiayi hurriedly explained.
"Eliminate the source? You are directly releasing them? Is this considered eliminating the source? This is simply taking the side of the evildoer! "The first person couldn't help but say.
"We have a way to track it and find its location," Qian Jiayi said.
The so-called stalking was naturally for Linlong's bamboo rat to memorize the aura of the Flaming Winged Bird before tracking it. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let the Flaming Winged Bird go just like that.
When they arrived, Linlong had already released the bamboo rat.
"Tracking? Now that it has escaped, how are you going to track it? I, Feng Yi, am experienced and knowledgeable, but I have never seen a pursuit like this! "The first person said coldly.
"You are Feng Yi?" Qian Jiayi could not help but be a little surprised when she heard his words.
He was not the only one. Miao Feng and the others were also surprised.
Feng Yi was not a government official, but he was someone who had quite a reputation among the people. His reputation was so high that he could even gather some experts to do things for him.
One could imagine that if Feng Yi were to spread what he had seen today, no one in the entire Ice Peak Country would stand on Qian Jiayi's side.
"That's right. I want to spread what happened today. I want everyone to deal with you, Qian Jiayi, and your Qian family!" Feng Yi looked at Qian Jiayi and said coldly.
"Senior, our goal is really to track the source of these Flaming Winged Birds," Qian Jiayi hurriedly said.
"Seeing is believing, hearing is believing!" Feng Yi continued to sneer.
"However, I'm afraid you won't have such a chance again," Linlong said indifferently.
Feng Yi and the other two could not help but frown when they heard Linlong's words. Their opponent was currently stronger than them, and if they were to kill them, they would really die here.
"Hehe, if you want to kill us, then kill us … But even if you kill us, it won't change the fact that you will eventually be despised by everyone!" Feng Yi said coldly.
"Forget about killing you because I can see that you are truly thinking for the sake of the Ice Peak Country and the Frigid World," Linlong shook his head and said.
Hearing that Linlong was going to let them go, Miao Feng hurriedly said, "Young Master, you can't let them go. This Feng Yi is a very reputable person in the Ice Peak Country, and he has befriended many great families and experts. If we let him go and he spreads this matter, I'm afraid that the entire Frigid World will really stand against us."
"Young Master, Miao Feng is right." Qian Jiayi nodded.
"Is that so? Then let's bring them along. When we find out the truth, we'll make them open their eyes wide," Linlong said indifferently.
Of course, he had no intention of letting these three go, because he could see that they were different from the people he had let go before.
"Hehe, you can take us away, but don't expect us to obediently work for you like the City Lord of River Yuan City!" Feng Yi sneered again.
As he spoke, he looked at the City Lord with disdain. It was obvious that he recognized the City Lord.
I didn't want to do this, but I was forced to do it! The City Lord could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"It's not up to you to decide whether you're obedient or not," Linlong said.
After saying that, he walked up to Feng Yi.
"Tsk tsk, are you going to torture me? No matter how you force me, I won't yield! "Feng Yi sneered.
Before he could finish his words, Linlong had already placed a restriction on his body.
As soon as the restriction was activated, Feng Yi rolled on the ground in pain, groaning incessantly. It seemed like he had no way of resisting Linlong's restriction.
What kind of method was this? Why was even Feng Yi unable to resist it? The expressions of the other two changed.
They knew how tenacious Feng Yi was. Back when he was captured by a certain City Lord, the City Lord had used all sorts of torture on Feng Yi, but he had not made a single sound. Today, this seemingly simple method had caused Feng Yi to groan incessantly. How could they not be shocked?
While they were still in shock, Feng Yi began to beg for mercy. "I yield, I yield …"
No way, Feng Yi had really yielded!
This caused the other two to look at each other in dismay.
Knowing that Feng Yi could no longer endure it, Linlong removed the restriction.
"How is it?" Linlong asked.
After taking a deep breath, Feng Yi said helplessly, "I yield."
Although he was unwilling, he did not want to experience that kind of pain again. He would rather Linlong kill him directly.
Now you know your mistake. Seeing Feng Yi in such a state, the City Lord could not help but gloat.
"What about the two of you? Do you yield? If not, I can let the two of you experience the pain that Feng Yi had just experienced, "Linlong said to the other two.
"We …" The two of them looked at each other and said helplessly, "We yield."
If even Feng Yi could not endure it, they did not think that they were stronger than Feng Yi.
Linlong said, "Actually, I don't want the two of you to do anything. I just want the two of you to follow me and see the truth!"
"However, according to what you said, weren't you going to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird? It's been so long, and you still haven't chased after it. How are you going to find it? "Feng Yi could not help but ask.
"Don't worry, the Flaming Winged Bird is still nearby. It should be resting due to its severe injuries," Linlong said.
If that was not the case, he would not have wasted so much time talking. He would have already asked the others to deal with Feng Yi's group of three while he led some people to chase after it.
"The Flaming Winged Bird is still nearby?" Feng Yi's group of three could not believe it.
They felt that the Flaming Winged Bird would have escaped long ago.
"If you don't believe me, just follow me," Linlong said.
He let the bamboo rat lead the way while he followed behind it. The others followed closely behind him.
During this time, Miao Feng put away the spatial rings and icy talismans on Feng Yi's group of three to prevent them from suddenly attacking them.
The City Lord's spatial rings and icy talismans were also put away.
After a while, Linlong stood on a rock and pointed to the front. "Do you see that? The Flaming Winged Bird is over there."
The others stood on the same high ground and looked in that direction. Sure enough, there was a Flaming Winged Bird there.
Even so, Feng Yi and the others were still deeply suspicious of Linlong.
At that moment, the Flaming Winged Bird seemed to have noticed that someone was following it. It suddenly spread its wings and flew forward.
"Chase after it!"
After saying that, Linlong chased after the Flaming Winged Bird without hesitation.
However, the Flaming Winged Bird was extremely fast and left them behind in an instant. But because of the bamboo rat, Linlong was not worried and continued to follow the Flaming Winged Bird.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the top of a mountain.
This place was already very far from Heyuan City. Even the City Lord of Heyuan City did not know the name of this mountain.
After arriving here, Linlong's expression became ugly. This was because the bamboo rat could no longer sense the Flaming Winged Bird's aura.
Could there be some kind of spatial crack here and the Flaming Winged Bird came out from there? Such a thought flashed across Linlong's mind.
This should be the reason why the Flaming Winged Bird suddenly disappeared.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask when she saw Linlong suddenly stop and his expression change.
"The bamboo rat can't sense the Flaming Winged Bird's aura anymore," Linlong replied.
"Doesn't that mean we won't be able to find the source of the Flaming Winged Bird?" Qian Jiayi's expression changed.
It wasn't easy for them to find the Flaming Winged Bird. If they lost it just like that, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Of course, she was most worried that the same thing would happen even if they found other Flaming Winged Birds. At that time, they wouldn't be able to figure out the truth.
"Let's search the surroundings carefully. I suspect that there is some kind of spatial crack here and the Flaming Winged Bird might have come out from there. If that's the case, we can be considered to have found the source," Linlong said.
"However, if the Flaming Winged Bird came out from here, there's no way to explain the situation of the Flaming Winged Bird in other places," Dong Luo said.
"If that's really the case, then there might be similar spatial cracks in other places as well. These spatial cracks are all connected to the world where the Flaming Winged Bird lives," Qian Jiayi said.
"Young Lady Qian is right." Dong Luo and the others couldn't help but nod.
"Alright, everyone, let's split up and search the surroundings carefully. Apart from looking for spatial cracks, we should also look for any suspicious places. Once we find something amiss, we will sound the alarm and ask for help," Linlong said.
Immediately, everyone split up and continued to search the surroundings in groups of two.
After searching for a long time, Linlong didn't find anything. The bamboo rat also couldn't sense the Flaming Winged Bird's aura.
Could it be that another clue disappeared just like that? This situation made Linlong furrow his brows.
He wasn't worried about this time either. Instead, it would be troublesome if he couldn't find the Flaming Winged Bird in the future.
Just as he was feeling depressed, Dong Luo and Miao Feng discovered something.
They didn't discover a spatial crack. Instead, they discovered a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was dressed in black and looked very ordinary.
However, he appeared in the wilderness at a time when they were searching for the Flaming Winged Bird. They had no choice but to pay attention to him.
Dong Luo and Miao Feng immediately stopped this person.
"Excuse me, is there anything else?" The middle-aged man frowned when he saw Miao Feng and Dong Luo stopping him.
"Uncle, we would like to ask if you have seen the Flaming Winged Bird in this area before?" Dong Luo asked.
"What Flaming Winged Bird? I have never heard of such a thing. "The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Then why are you here?" Miao Feng asked.
"I live in seclusion nearby. What's so strange about me appearing here?" The middle-aged man snapped.
"The Flaming Winged Bird is a bird with wings that burn with flames. This kind of bird is easy to kill. Anyone it sees will be killed by the flames on its wings," Dong Luo explained.
"Is there such a bird? I have never seen it before. "The middle-aged man shook his head again.
Could it be that this person really lived in seclusion nearby and didn't know about the Flaming Winged Bird? Dong Luo and Miao Feng couldn't help but think of this possibility.
When they saw that the middle-aged man was really ordinary, Dong Luo couldn't help but say, "Since that's the case, uncle, you can leave. We won't make things difficult for you." With that said, Dong Luo moved to the side.
Seeing Dong Luo move to the side, the middle-aged man immediately continued walking forward.
"Dong Luo, why do I feel like something is still wrong?" Miao Feng couldn't help but say as she looked at the middle-aged man's back.
"He should really be an ordinary person," Dong Luo said.
"No, I have to continue asking." With that said, Miao Feng caught up to the middle-aged man again and blocked his way.
"What exactly do you want?" Seeing Miao Feng stop him again, the middle-aged man's face became gloomy.
"I want to ask you something," Miao Feng said.
Saying so, Miao Feng, who had been sizing up the middle-aged man, stopped his gaze on the ring on his left hand.
Because at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the other party's ring seemed to be different from ordinary Space Rings.
This person's Space Ring was obviously darker.
Miao Feng immediately said, "Can you take off your Space Ring and let me see?"
