"Elder Li, the reason why there aren't any Flaming Winged Birds in Ice Origin City is because they were killed," Shopkeeper Huang said respectfully.
"How could you be so careless?" the black-robed man asked coldly.
"I didn't think that there would be an expert capable of activating a grade 5 ice talisman," Shopkeeper Huang replied.
"Do you know who they are?" the black-robed man asked.
"I don't." Shopkeeper Huang shook his head.
"Then you have to be more careful in the future. Don't make any more mistakes."
"Yes, this subordinate understands." Shopkeeper Huang nodded.
He paused for a moment before asking, "Elder Li, you mean that you brought new Flaming Winged Birds?"
"That's right. I brought two Flaming Winged Birds." The black-robed man muttered a few runic terms, and in the next moment, two Flaming Winged Birds appeared in front of him.
Looking at the two Flaming Winged Birds, the black-robed man took out two small bottles and handed them to Shopkeeper Huang. "One is your antidote, and the other is a pill to feed the Flaming Winged Birds. Use it as you see fit."
Shopkeeper Huang hurriedly took the pills and said, "Many thanks, Elder Li."
After he finished speaking, he took out two pills from one of the small bottles. The moment he took out the pills, the two Flaming Winged Birds immediately rushed over to him and each of them took one pill from his hand before swallowing it.
During the entire process, the two Flaming Winged Birds seemed to be enjoying themselves.
After swallowing the pills, they seemed to have a favorable impression of Shopkeeper Huang.
Shopkeeper Huang took the opportunity to keep them in his ring.
After that, Shopkeeper Huang asked, "Elder Li, do you have any other instructions for me?"
"There's nothing else. I just want you to be more careful. Don't run into those experts and cause unnecessary losses," Elder Li said.
"Elder Li, I also want to do that. However, those experts appear and disappear unpredictably. Sometimes, it's impossible to avoid them," Shopkeeper Huang said with a bitter expression.
"I know … In any case, you have to be careful. The Sect Master paid a huge price to obtain these Flaming Winged Birds. Don't waste them just like that," Elder Li warned.
"This subordinate understands," Shopkeeper Huang replied.
"Alright, that's all for now. I'll be leaving first. If there's anything else, I'll contact you in the future." After saying this, the black-clothed masked man turned around and left.
How could Lin Long and the others let him leave? The moment he moved, Lin Long and the others appeared and surrounded him.
"Who are you people?" Seeing the sudden appearance of these people, the black-clothed masked man asked coldly.
Lin Long ignored him and looked at Dong Luo and Miao Feng, saying, "Do it!"
Dong Luo and Miao Feng immediately took out their Level Five Frost Talismans.
Looking at the icy talismans in their hands, the black-clothed masked man immediately began to recite some runic terms. In the next moment, a Flaming Winged Bird suddenly appeared in front of him.
As soon as the Flaming Winged Bird appeared, Dong Luo and Miao Feng's icy energy attacked it, trapping it instantly.
The masked man couldn't help but shout at Shopkeeper Huang, "Shopkeeper Huang, why haven't you released your Burning Wing Bird yet?"
"Elder Li, I've already pledged my allegiance to them!" Shopkeeper Huang replied.
Hearing his words, the black-clothed masked man was clearly shocked. In the next moment, he couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper Huang, you actually betrayed the Burning Wing Sect? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
"It's better to be poisoned to death than to kill the people of the Frigid World," Shopkeeper Huang replied.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have such ambitions." The black-clothed masked man sneered.
Soon, he couldn't continue speaking because the icy energy released by the other person on Lin Long's side had already caused him to kneel on the ground from the cold.
As for the Burning Wing Bird, it was at a disadvantage because Qian Jiayi had joined the fray.
Since they had released their icy energy in time, they didn't give the black-clothed masked man and the Burning Wing Bird a chance to self-immolate.
After a round of fighting, the Burning Wing Bird chose to self-immolate and turned into ashes.
With the Burning Wing Bird dead, the black-clothed masked man couldn't hold on any longer. Only then did Zhao Ying, who had trapped the black-clothed masked man, release the icy energy.
After catching his breath, the black-clothed masked man couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly … are you people …"
"Open your eyes wide and you'll know," Qian Jiayi said as she removed the veil on her face.
The black-clothed masked man immediately shouted, "You're Qian Jiayi! You're the people who came out of the imperial city's secret realm!"
"That's right." Qian Jiayi nodded.
At this time, Miao Feng had already removed the veil on the black-clothed masked man's face, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.
This face was somewhat unfamiliar to Lin Long. He had definitely never seen this person before.
"Do any of you know him?" Lin Long asked.
"I don't." Everyone shook their heads, including Shopkeeper Huang.
"What's your status in the Frigid World? Are you an elder of the Burning Wing Sect? "Lin Long asked the black-clothed masked man.
The reason why Lin Long said this was because he could tell that the black-clothed man only had the strength to activate a fourth-grade icy talisman. He didn't fit the identity of an elder of the Burning Wing Sect at all.
"Why would I tell you that?" the black-clothed masked man said coldly.
Qian Jiayi asked curiously, "Young Master, is his identity fake?"
"It's fake. It's because he's too weak that he can only activate a fourth-grade icy talisman. In my opinion, an elder of the Burning Wing Sect should be able to activate a fifth-grade icy talisman," Lin Long said.
"He can only activate a fourth-grade icy talisman?" Qian Jiayi and the others were slightly surprised when they heard Lin Long's words.
Because the black-clothed masked man hadn't activated the icy talisman, they didn't know his strength. They always thought that he could activate a fifth-grade icy talisman. They didn't expect him to only be able to activate a fourth-grade icy talisman.
"The Burning Wing Sect doesn't care about your strength in this world. As long as you can better control the Burning Wing Birds, you'll have a higher chance of becoming an elder," the black-clothed man said coldly.
"You're right. Then let me ask you again. What's your identity in the Frigid Forest? Are you an elder of the Burning Wing Sect? Also, where did the Burning Wing Sect get the Burning Wing Birds? Why did you bring them to the Frigid Forest to harm people?" Lin Long said coldly.
"I'll say it again. I can't tell you. Even if you torture me, I won't say a word!" the black-clothed man said arrogantly.
He seemed very confident in dealing with Lin Long and the others.
"You're wrong. You'll be begging for mercy soon." Miao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"You young man, you don't know anything. Let me tell you. I've suffered more torture than I've eaten, but I've never begged for mercy," the black-clothed man said arrogantly.
Qian Jiayi and the others shook their heads and said, "Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"
Lin Long couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He directly placed a restriction on the black-clothed man's body.
A moment later, the black-clothed man rolled on the ground in pain and began to beg for mercy.
Seeing this, Lin Long removed the restriction.
After catching his breath, the black-clothed man couldn't help but ask, "What kind of technique is this? Why is it so powerful?"
What he said earlier was naturally exaggerated, but it was true that he had suffered many tortures in the past.
Compared to Lin Long's technique, those tortures were not even worth mentioning. That was why he was so shocked.
"You don't need to ask about that. Just tell me what I want to know. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer the pain you just experienced!" Lin Long said coldly.
The black-clothed man didn't dare to lie. He smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed correctly. I'm actually not an elder of the Burning Wing Sect."
