After returning to Ice Origin City, everyone remained in their original positions. Shopkeeper Huang was still in charge of his tavern while Linlong and the others remained as patrol members.
Unknowingly, three days had passed. During these three days, nothing happened. No Flaming Wing Birds appeared in the territory of Ice Origin City. This was within Linlong's expectations. After all, they had already taken down Shopkeeper Huang, who could send out Flaming Wing Birds.
From this, they could tell that Shopkeeper Huang was the only person from Flaming Wing Sect in the entire Ice Origin City.
On the third day, Ice Origin City received news that a big shot from Sky Emperor City would be coming to Ice Origin City.
As for who it was, it was not revealed. Ice Origin City was only told to prepare to welcome him. Linlong was even arranged to wait at the city gate.
The next afternoon, that big shot arrived late. There were a total of over 20 people, and he was sitting in a sedan in the middle.
Naturally, the city lord came out to welcome him personally.
"Greetings, Eunuch Qi!" Ice Origin City Lord said respectfully to the person in the sedan.
Hearing those words, Linlong's expression changed.
He had seen Eunuch Qi before. Moreover, the other party would probably recognize him. If the other party accidentally saw him, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, Linlong was not standing in the first row. Otherwise, there was a high chance that the other party would recognize him.
"City Lord Hao … I heard that a Flaming Wing Bird appeared in your Ice Origin City a few days ago. What's the situation now?" the person in the sedan asked.
Hearing this, Linlong's brows furrowed even more. He was certain that the person in the sedan was Eunuch Qi, whom he had met before.
Eunuch Qi was also someone who could fully activate the grade 5 ice talisman.
"Eunuch Qi, a few days ago, a Flaming Wing Bird did appear in our Ice Origin City. However, for some reason, that Flaming Wing Bird disappeared without a trace. I'm wondering if it has gone somewhere else," City Lord Hao of Ice Origin City replied.
"The nearby Heyuan City also said that no Flaming Wing Birds have appeared in the past few days. This is a good thing. Unfortunately, Flaming Wing Birds have appeared in other places," Eunuch Qi said with a sigh.
"May I know how long Eunuch Qi will be staying in our Ice Origin City?" City Lord Hao asked.
"How long can I stay here under such circumstances? I will stay here for the night and head to Heyuan City early tomorrow morning, "Eunuch Qi said.
"You've worked hard, Eunuch Qi," City Lord Hao said.
Before he could finish his sentence, the curtains of the sedan were pulled aside and a eunuch walked out of the sedan.
Lin Long focused his gaze and saw that it was Eunuch Qi.
After getting off the palanquin, Eunuch Qi scanned the surroundings. His gaze also swept over Linlong's direction. However, he clearly didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't notice Linlong in that direction.
Linlong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Eunuch Qi, please!" City Lord Hao hurriedly led the way.
"City Lord Hao, apart from the Flaming Winged Bird, did you find any traces of the rebels?" Eunuch Qi asked as he walked.
"Eunuch Qi, we didn't find anything … We're quite far from the Imperial City, so I don't think those people will come here," City Lord Hao replied.
"We can't let our guard down on this matter … Although you're far away, they might still come back here," Eunuch Qi said with a straight face.
"Eunuch Qi, I will have my subordinates pay attention," City Lord Hao hurriedly said.
The two of them chatted as they walked inside. Soon, they were out of sight of Linlong and the others. Only then were Linlong and the others allowed to leave.
I have to inform the others as soon as possible. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if Eunuch Qi sees them. With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately went to inform the others.
After receiving such news, the others naturally became cautious.
Fortunately, Eunuch Qi didn't leave the city lord's mansion until nightfall.
That night, Dong Luo suddenly came looking for Linlong.
"Dong Luo, did something happen at Shopkeeper Huang's place?" Linlong asked the moment he saw Dong Luo.
Dong Luo was in charge of keeping an eye on Shopkeeper Huang tonight. Since he was here, it meant that something had happened at Shopkeeper Huang's place. That was why Linlong asked such a question.
"Shopkeeper Huang just left the tavern," Dong Luo replied.
Linlong's eyes lit up. He immediately asked, "Where did he go?"
"He went towards the south gate," Dong Luodao replied.
"I'll follow him first. Get the others to follow behind me!" Linlong said without any hesitation.
"Yes!" Dong Luo replied and quickly left.
As for Linlong, he headed directly towards the south gate of Ice Origin City.
As he walked, he released the bamboo rat. Sure enough, the bamboo rat sensed that Shopkeeper Huang was at the south gate.
Previously, Linlong had asked the bamboo rat to memorize Shopkeeper Huang's aura so that he could accurately track Shopkeeper Huang.
Based on his familiarity with Ice Origin City and the outposts, Linlong quickly followed Shopkeeper Huang to the south gate. At this time, Shopkeeper Huang was just a short distance ahead.
Along the way, Linlong also saw the markings left behind by shopkeeper Huang. This made him feel even more at ease with shopkeeper Huang.
Not long after, Shopkeeper Huang stopped in a forest.
There was no one else around. Linlong circulated his Divine Telekinesis, but he didn't find anyone nearby.
It seemed that the person who invited Shopkeeper Huang to meet him hadn't arrived yet, Linlong guessed.
Since Shopkeeper Huang was here, Linlong guessed that Elder Li must have called him out.
After a while, Dong Luo, Miao Feng, and the others also arrived behind him. At this time, Shopkeeper Huang was still standing there, waiting quietly.
"Young Master, what's the situation now?" Qian Jiayi, who had also come over, asked softly.
"We'll wait for a while. The person who invited Shopkeeper Huang to come out has yet to appear," Linlong answered.
After listening to his words, everyone quietly waited.
After a while, Linlong's eyes lit up because someone was clearly approaching from not far ahead.
Linlong immediately signaled everyone to be careful. Sure enough, a black-clothed and masked man soon appeared in their line of sight.
Is this person the Burning Wing Sect's Elder Li? This thought flashed through Linlong's mind.
At this time, the black-clothed and masked man walked in front of Shopkeeper Huang.
"Are you Elder Li?" Shopkeeper Huang asked respectfully.
"Yes." The black-clothed man nodded, then took out a waist token and showed it to Shopkeeper Huang.
Even though he was far away, Linlong could clearly see the words' Burning Wing Sect 'on the waist token. It was different from the one he saw before. The words on this waist token seemed to be formed by flames.
There was a high chance that it was Elder Li. Linlong was certain in his heart.
Shopkeeper Huang had told him before that in the Burning Wing Sect, only the waist tokens of elder-level figures would be different.
After confirming that the other party was Elder Li, Shopkeeper Huang became even more respectful.
"Shopkeeper Huang, there are no Burning Wing Birds in Ice Origin City. Did something happen?" The black-clothed and masked man asked.
His voice was extremely cold. It was obvious that he was blaming Shopkeeper Huang.
