After searching the vicinity for a while, they did not find anything.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Miao Feng could not help but ask.
"Since this trail has been broken, let's return to River Yuan City and see if there are any Flaming Wing Birds there," Lin Long said.
"En." Everyone nodded.
After that, the group returned to River Yuan City.
Not long after returning to River Yuan City, another piece of news arrived.
After receiving the news, the City Lord of River Yuan City hurried over to inform Lin Long.
"Young Master, I heard that Flaming Wing Birds appeared in Bright Flower Village between River Yuan City and Ice Origin City half a day ago," the City Lord of River Yuan City reported.
Lin Long's eyes lit up. "Let's head there immediately!"
He immediately led the group to Bright Flower Village.
After half a day, the group arrived at Bright Flower Village. At this moment, Bright Flower Village was in the same state as the other villages that Lin Long and the group had seen previously. All of them had been burned down by the Flaming Wing Birds and the corpses of the villagers were strewn all over the ground.
Seeing this situation, everyone's faces turned ugly again.
"Those damned Burning Wing Birds!" Feng Yi cursed angrily.
At this moment, a group of people walked over. One of them asked from afar, "Who are you people? Why did you come to Bright Flower Village?"
These people were dressed in the clothes of the government officials.
"They were sent by Ice Origin City," the City Lord of River Yuan City explained to Lin Long.
Then, he said loudly, "Everyone, I am He Qin, the City Lord of River Yuan City. I heard that there were Flaming Wing Birds here, so I personally brought some people over to investigate … Who is leading the group?"
Someone in the group clearly recognized the City Lord of River Yuan City. Thus, when they heard the City Lord of River Yuan City's words and saw the City Lord of River Yuan City, they immediately nodded. "So it's City Lord He of River Yuan City."
As they spoke, the group of people arrived in front of them.
The person at the front cupped his fists towards He Qin and said, "City Lord He, I am the captain of Ice Origin City's patrol team, Liang Chaofei."
"So it's Captain Liang," He Qin nodded.
After a short pause, he asked, "Captain Liang, you came here before us. Do you know the situation here? Do you know how many Burning Winged Birds there are and where they went?"
"According to our investigation, there should only be one Flaming Wing Bird. As for where it went, we don't know. The Flaming Wing Bird didn't seem to leave any traces behind, so we can't find it. None of the nearby villages have been attacked by it." Captain Liang shook his head.
"Then, Captain Liang, can you allow us to take a look?" He Qin asked.
"Of course." Captain Liang nodded.
"Then the investigation is more important. I won't nag with Captain Liang anymore," He Qin said.
Soon after, Linlong and the rest began to search around Brightflower Village.
Linlong had already released the bamboo rat before they arrived, but the bamboo rat couldn't sense the aura of the Flaming Winged Bird. Therefore, they could only search like this.
With his rich experience, Linlong quickly found the direction in which the Flaming Winged Bird had left.
Then, he led the group in that direction.
This situation left Captain Liang and the others dumbfounded. No matter how they looked, they didn't think that the Flaming Winged Bird had left in that direction.
After chasing for a while, Linlong's eyes lit up. The bamboo rat had already sensed the Flaming Winged Bird's aura.
Seeing that Linlong had stopped and the bamboo rat seemed to have discovered something, Qian Jiayi hurriedly asked, "Young Master, did the bamboo rat discover something?"
"Yes." Linlong nodded. "It's right in front of us. Let's hurry up and chase after it!"
After speaking, he continued to lead the group of people to chase after them.
The Flaming Winged Bird was obviously moving. Therefore, even after chasing for half a day, they still couldn't catch up to it.
What made Linlong's expression turn ugly was that after chasing for a while, the Flaming Winged Bird's aura suddenly disappeared.
No matter how hard the bamboo rat tried, it couldn't sense the Flaming Winged Bird's aura.
Could it be that someone had placed it in that ring again? Linlong furrowed his brows.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Qian Jiayi hurriedly asked.
"The bamboo rat can't sense the Flaming Winged Bird's aura anymore," Linlong said with an ugly expression.
"Then what should we do?" The others couldn't help but ask.
"Let's go to the place where the bamboo rat disappeared first. Let's see what we can find there!" Linlong said.
He immediately led the group to the place where the Flaming Winged Bird disappeared.
Not long after, they arrived at the place where the Flaming Winged Bird disappeared. It was also the place where the bamboo rat last sensed the Flaming Winged Bird.
After arriving here, they discovered that Ice Origin City was not far away. From where they were, they could already see the words' Ice Origin City '.
"Could it be that the Flaming Winged Sect kept the Flaming Winged Bird in their ring and entered Ice Origin City?" Wang Yingxiang couldn't help but guess.
Wang Yingxiang, Young Master Gu, and the others followed Linlong after leaving the secret realm.
Young Master Gu and his subordinates had nowhere to go, so it was better for them to follow Linlong.
As for Wang Yingxiang, the reason why he followed Linlong was because of the prophecy master's prophecy. He vaguely felt that following Linlong was the right thing to do, so he chose to stay.
"That's very possible." The others nodded.
"Let's search the vicinity first and act according to the situation," Linlong said.
Everyone immediately searched the vicinity, but they didn't find any clues at all.
After thinking about it, Linlong said, "It seems that the Flaming Winged Sect really brought the Flaming Winged Bird to Ice Origin City … How about this, we also go to Ice Origin City to take a look. After staying for a few days, we might find something."
"Okay." Everyone knew that this was the only way, so they nodded in agreement.
After arriving at Ice Origin City, He Qin used his identity and connections to help Linlong and the others obtain the identity of a patrol team member. This way, they could use this identity to expand the scope of their search.
Naturally, they were not in the same team. Instead, they were assigned to different patrol teams.
Of course, Qian Jiayi and Feng Yi were excluded.
Qian Jiayi was wearing a veil, while Feng Yi and the others were not completely convinced by Linlong.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed.
In these few days, their footprints had covered the entire Ice Origin City. However, they didn't find any information.
He Qin also didn't get any information about the Flaming Winged Bird from the City Lord of Ice Origin City.
This made Linlong wonder if it was time for him and the others to return to Ice Origin City.
However, after some consideration, he still chose to stay in Ice Origin City because he felt that the person from the Flaming Winged Sect must still be in Ice Origin City.
However, for some reason, he didn't show up.
Two days later, the bamboo rat suddenly sensed the aura of the Flaming Winged Bird again. Moreover, the Flaming Winged Bird was in Ice Origin City.
Sure enough, his guess was right. Linlong was secretly delighted.
He immediately gathered Miao Feng and the others and headed to the place where the Flaming Winged Bird was.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a tavern. When they arrived, the Flaming Winged Bird's aura suddenly disappeared.
'It seems that person must have put the Flaming Winged Bird back into his ring.' Linlong thought to himself.
According to the bamboo rat's senses, the Flaming Winged Bird was last seen on the second floor of the tavern.
Therefore, Linlong directly led Miao Feng and the others into the tavern.
As soon as they entered, the waiter immediately greeted them with a smile, "My lords, are you here for a drink?"
"That's right. Bring us to the second floor," Linlong immediately said.
There were many people on the first floor, so Linlong wouldn't directly reveal his purpose of coming here.
The waiter immediately led Linlong and the others upstairs.
When they arrived at a place with fewer people, Linlong immediately showed his waist token and said to the waiter, "We're not here to drink, but because there's a fugitive hiding on the second floor. Waiter, you should know what to do!"
The waiter immediately said with a bitter expression, "My lord, I have to talk to the shopkeeper about this."
"It'll be too late by the time you talk to the shopkeeper. Just lead the way!" Miao Feng said as she grabbed the waiter's collar and placed him in front.
What else could the waiter do? He could only obediently lead the way in front.
Under Linlong's signal, the waiter led Linlong and the others to a room on the left.
The location of the Flaming Winged Bird that the bamboo rat sensed was in this room.
Looking at the room, the waiter's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, the people inside are not to be trifled with. You'd better not search this place."
"Oh? Who's inside?" Linlong asked.
"There's a rich man surnamed Zhou inside. He doesn't have much power or status, but because he has a good relationship with the City Lord, no one in the entire Ice Origin City dares to offend him … Since he's inside, the fugitive you're looking for shouldn't be here," the waiter said.
"In that case, we have to go in," Linlong said with a faint smile.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door in front of him.
The anxious waiter hurriedly tried to pull his hand, but it was too late. Linlong had already pushed the door open and walked in.
The others naturally followed closely behind him.
As soon as they saw them, the seven or eight people inside were stunned. They didn't know why Linlong and the others came in.
One of them, a fat man with a flushed face, suddenly stood up, pointed at Linlong and the others, and scolded, "What are you doing? Don't you know that I, Zhou Hao, am inside? "
"You must be Rich Lord Zhou," Linlong said calmly, looking at the other party.
"What do you mean by that? You're new here, right? You don't even know Rich Lord Zhou? "One of the people beside Rich Lord Zhou stared at Linlong and said coldly.
"If you don't want your clothes to be stripped off, quickly kneel down and apologize!" Another person said coldly.
As they spoke, the few burly men standing around walked towards Linlong and the others.
"Everyone, sorry for the disturbance. We're here to capture a fugitive. We didn't mean to disturb you," Miao Feng, who was beside Linlong, said.
"Fugitive? Do you think we look like fugitives to you? "
"You've really eaten a leopard's gall!"
Rich Lord Zhou and the others said angrily.
Linlong frowned and signaled for Miao Feng and the others to take action. Miao Feng and the others immediately took out the grade 4 ice talismans and activated them.
Naturally, Rich Lord Zhou's subordinates still tried to restrain them. However, they were only ordinary people who could activate grade 4 ice talismans. How could they be a match for Miao Feng and the others? They were quickly subdued by Miao Feng and the others.
"You're courting death … I'll definitely report this to the City Lord and lock all of you up in the dungeon!" Rich Lord Zhou continued to mutter.
However, he was soon unable to mutter because Miao Feng had already stuffed his mouth with a rag.
At this moment, Linlong took out a Ten Days Heart Attack Pill and handed it to Miao Feng. Then, he instructed, "Let him take this Ten Days Heart Attack Pill!"
Linlong's idea was very simple. He wanted to use the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill to shut Rich Lord Zhou up. After all, he couldn't kill Rich Lord Zhou and the others now, so he could only use this method first.
As for Linlong, he pulled the waiter aside and asked, "Before these people came in, who else entered this private room?"
The reason why he asked this was because Linlong didn't notice anything wrong with these people.
"Apart from these people who just came in, no one else has entered this private room. Because Rich Lord Zhou had already reserved it yesterday, they've been the only ones who have entered since yesterday," the waiter replied.
"What about the people in your tavern? Who entered this private room within the past four hours? "Linlong asked again.
Since no customers had entered, he could only suspect the people in this tavern.
"Within the past four hours? That's not possible. After all, this private room was already cleaned yesterday. Also, as you can see, the dishes haven't been served yet. "The waiter shook his head.
"Think about it again," Linlong said.
If no one had entered this private room, the Flaming Winged Bird wouldn't have appeared here.
After thinking about it with a frown, the waiter said after a moment, "If anyone entered this private room … it should be the innkeeper."
"Oh, did you see it with your own eyes?" Linlong asked.
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I saw him stop here for a while," the waiter replied.
When he heard the waiter's words, Linlong naturally suspected the innkeeper of this tavern. He immediately asked, "Where's your innkeeper?"
"He wasn't here when you entered just now, but he should be on the first floor now," the waiter replied.
When he heard this, Linlong immediately led Dong Luo out of the private room and headed downstairs.
Very soon, they arrived on the first floor. The first floor was as lively as before, and it wasn't affected by the commotion above.
Of course, this was because Linlong and the others had settled things quickly, so the people in the tavern didn't feel that anything was wrong.
After walking one round downstairs, they didn't find the innkeeper of this tavern.
After asking the people in the tavern, the innkeeper found out that the innkeeper had already left the tavern before he led Linlong and the others upstairs.
Could it be that the innkeeper had already noticed us coming over? This thought flashed through Linlong's mind.
Just as Linlong was about to chase after them, a middle-aged man in black with a slightly dark expression walked in from the entrance.
When he saw this person, the waiter whispered in Linlong's ear, "He's the innkeeper."
