In order to prevent Eunuch Qi and the Flaming Winged Bird from combusting, Lin Long sent another three people to join the battle. In a short period of time, Eunuch Qi was frozen to the point that he couldn't move, and the Flaming Winged Bird couldn't struggle and eventually combusted as well.
On the other side, Ah Si Linlong and the others couldn't stop it, so he and his Flaming Winged Bird were burned to ashes.
Within a short period of time, only Eunuch Qi was left kneeling on the ground due to the cold.
Seeing that Eunuch Qi couldn't hold on any longer, Lin Long gestured for everyone to withdraw the cold energy.
"Eunuch Qi, you never thought that such a day would come, right?" Lin Long said with a faint smile as he looked at Eunuch Qi.
"Hmph!" Eunuch Qi, who had caught his breath, snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.
"Eunuch Qi, tell me the secret of your Blazing Wing Sect!" Linlong said coldly.
"That's impossible!" Eunuch Qi directly refused.
"Don't you want to try my Antidote Pill? After Shopkeeper Huang, Eunuch Xi and the others consume it, they will be able to remove the poison from the Scorching Poison Pill," Linlong said.
These words obviously made Eunuch Qi loosen up. He asked, "Does your antidote pill really have such an effect?"
"If it wasn't for Shopkeeper Huang, would they have listened to me?" said Linlong.
"Alright, then give me one first," said Eunuch Qi.
Linlong was not worried that he would play any tricks. He took out a detoxification pill and threw it over.
Once Eunuch Qi received the antidote, he immediately swallowed it.
A moment later, his face lit up with joy. It was obvious that he could feel the benefits of this antidote.
"Can you tell us now?" Linlong asked.
Eunuch Qi immediately said, "Actually, I don't know much about the Burning Wing Sect. I don't even know if there are any other elders in the Burning Wing Sect other than me and Prime Minister He. As for the sect master of the Burning Wing Sect, I don't even know the shadow of him."
"Then you should know something, right?" Qian Jiayi frowned.
"I know where Prime Minister He went to get the Flaming Wing Bird," Eunuch Qi said.
"Oh, where is that place?" After hearing Eunuch Qi's words, Linlong immediately asked.
If he could find that place, he might be able to cut off the source of the Flaming Wing Birds.
Eunuch Qi said, "That place is …"
Eunuch Qi was unable to continue speaking because at this moment, a strange bird suddenly attacked him from behind.
This strange bird was extremely fast, and its appearance was similar to the Flaming Wing Bird. However, the strange thing was that there were no flames on its wings.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind Eunuch Qi.
Eunuch Qi, who had sensed that something was amiss, turned his head around. The moment he did so, his expression changed drastically.
At this moment, Lin Long, who reacted the fastest, had already activated his Ice Qi. The powerful Ice Qi immediately enveloped the strange bird.
At this moment, the wings of the strange bird were abruptly ignited with flames.
It was clear that this was also a Flaming Winged Bird. The only difference was that it was able to conceal the flames on its wings.
As soon as the flames appeared, Lin Long's icy aura simply couldn't stop them. They directly broke through.
As soon as it broke through the barrier, it pounced towards Eunuch Qi. In the next instant, Eunuch Qi's body was set ablaze with raging flames.
As soon as it succeeded, the Flaming Winged Bird turned around and fled.
Lin Long didn't chase after it. Instead, he activated his Ice Qi once again and enveloped Eunuch Qi. However, he was still a step too late. Eunuch Qi was already turned into a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye.
It was obvious that the Flaming Winged Bird had done this to silence him.
Lin Long, whose expression was unsightly, immediately chased after the Flaming Winged Bird. He wasn't the only one. Qian Jiayi and the others also chased after it.
However, their speed was much slower than the Flaming Winged Bird, so it was impossible for them to catch up to it.
Moreover, after the Flaming Winged Bird fled, it clearly extinguished the flames on its body. Hence, it didn't leave behind any traces for them to follow.
Since their pursuit was futile, they could only give up.
"This Flaming Winged Bird is actually able to conceal the flames on its wings!"
"That's not all. Its strength is clearly stronger than Eunuch Qi's."
"Not only is it strong, but I think it's also very intelligent."
"If it wasn't afraid of our numbers and our joint attack technique, I'm afraid that it wouldn't just kill Eunuch Qi. It might even attack us!"
Everyone gathered together again and started to discuss.
After discussing for a while, their gazes all stopped on Lin Long.
"Everyone's analysis is correct. However, there's no need to worry. The number of Flaming Winged Birds that the other party possesses is very small. In fact, there might only be one of them. Moreover, they must be afraid of using it. Otherwise, they wouldn't be hiding behind Eunuch Qi," Lin Long said.
"Young Master's words make sense." Everyone nodded.
"Young Master, what should we do next?" Miao Feng asked.
"Eunuch Qi's trail has already been cut off. The only person we can look for is Prime Minister He. That Flaming Winged Bird was probably sent by Prime Minister He. Hence, it will be more difficult for us to deal with him," Lin Long said.
"That's not all. We've already alerted the enemy. Prime Minister He definitely won't come out so easily. If he hides in the imperial city, we won't be able to do anything to him. After all, if we go to the imperial city to capture him, we will definitely attract the emperor's attention. At that time, he might send people to deal with us and let Prime Minister He reap the benefits," Qian Jiayi said.
"Yes, Miss Qian is right." Lin Long nodded.
"Are we just going to watch it happen?" Dong Luo couldn't help but ask.
"Can we convince His Majesty to deal with Prime Minister He together?" Young Master Gu suggested.
"Unless we have evidence, we won't be able to convince His Majesty to deal with Prime Minister He," Lin Long said.
"Evidence? We can get Lu Geng and the others to testify, "Dong Luo said.
Hearing this, many people recalled Lu Geng and the others who had returned to the imperial city before them.
"According to what I know, Lu Geng and the others have already been captured by Prime Minister He and Eunuch Qi. They're currently locked somewhere in the imperial city," Eunuch Xi said.
"We'll think of a way to rescue them," Dong Luo said hurriedly.
"Rescuing them won't be easy. Prime Minister He will definitely be on guard against us. Think about it, even if we rescue them, we'll at most get them to testify against Eunuch Qi. However, Eunuch Qi is already dead. What's the point of testifying against him?" Qian Jiayi said.
Hearing her analysis, everyone fell silent. Qian Jiayi was speaking the truth.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yingxiang suddenly said, "Young Master, why don't we rope in someone who has a say in the emperor's side? Then, we can give the emperor some suggestions and expose Prime Minister He's identity in front of the emperor."
"That's a good idea." Lin Long nodded.
Unless he had no other choice, he wouldn't force his way into the imperial city to deal with Prime Minister He.
After a slight pause, Lin Long said, "Everyone, let's talk about who we should rope in."
Lin Long said that he wanted to rope in someone, but when the time came, it wouldn't be as simple as that. He would definitely use his Ten Days Heart Attack Pill or even the Life Obedience Pill.
After a round of discussion, they decided on a candidate: the Sixth Prince. Although the Sixth Prince was young, he was the most highly regarded of the emperor's remaining sons.
One of the reasons was that the Sixth Prince was very talented. After coming out of the secret realm, he had already mastered the grade four ice talisman.
"Young Master, the Sixth Prince is currently not in the imperial city," Eunuch Xi said after confirming the Sixth Prince's identity.
Lin Long's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Oh, then where is he?"
There might be some trouble in the imperial city, but there wasn't much to worry about outside the imperial city.
"A few days ago, when the Blazing Wing Bird appeared in Ancient Leaf City, west of the Heavenly Emperor City, he still hasn't returned," Eunuch Xi said.
"Since that's the case, let's head to Ancient Leaf City to take a look," Lin Long said.
"Young Master, should I still return to the imperial city?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"You don't have to return. If you can return unscathed after Eunuch Qi got into trouble, Prime Minister He will definitely suspect you. At that time, even if Prime Minister He doesn't deal with you, he will get His Majesty to send people to capture you. So, you should come with us," Lin Long said.
Knowing that Eunuch Xi would definitely encounter trouble if he returned, the others nodded in agreement.
Eunuch Xi naturally wouldn't return.
The group of people immediately headed to Ancient Leaf City. Those who were heading there were naturally people who could activate the level 5 ice talisman. People like Elder Liang and the others would stay in the imperial city.
While Lin Long and the others were heading to Ancient Leaf City, Prime Minister He was standing in his residence with a gloomy expression. On his shoulder was a Blazing Wing Bird. However, this Blazing Wing Bird didn't have any flames on its wings. It was the same Blazing Wing Bird that had killed Eunuch Qi previously.
"Fortunately, Pearl followed us. Otherwise, things would be troublesome!" Prime Minister He muttered to himself.
As he spoke, he took out a pill and handed it to the Flaming Winged Bird on his shoulder. The Flaming Winged Bird pecked at the pill and swallowed it into its stomach. Then, it chirped in satisfaction.
"Qian Jiayi, I still underestimated you. However, just you wait. My Blazing Wing Sect won't let you off easily!" Prime Minister He said coldly.
As he spoke, he put the Blazing Wing Bird back into his ring. Then, he walked out of his residence and headed towards the imperial palace.
Not long after, he saw the emperor.
"Prime Minister He, what's the matter?" The emperor frowned when he saw Prime Minister He looking for him.
"Your Majesty, this subject found Qian Jiayi and the others in the imperial city. Eunuch Qi accidentally encountered them. However, Eunuch Qi couldn't escape from them and was killed. This subject also found Eunuch Xi colluding with Qian Jiayi and the others!" Prime Minister He said.
"There's such a thing?" The emperor couldn't help but be shocked.
He had been sending people to search for Qian Jiayi and the others. Now that he heard that Qian Jiayi and the others had actually arrived in the imperial city, how could he not be shocked?
"This is absolutely true," Prime Minister He said with a serious expression.
"Good. Now, I'll let you lead all the experts in the imperial city to chase after those rebels and rebels!" The emperor said directly.
Because he had absolute trust in Prime Minister He, he didn't need to seek confirmation and directly made such a decision.
Hearing the emperor's words, Prime Minister He couldn't help but reveal a trace of pride on his face.
Soon, Prime Minister He led the experts in the imperial city to search for Lin Long, Qian Jiayi, and the others.
Elder Liang and the others quickly received the news. While they were worried for Lin Long and the others, they also heaved a sigh of relief. This was because Lin Long and the others had already left the imperial city. Even if Prime Minister He and the others dug three feet into the ground, they wouldn't be able to find them.
…
Half a day later, Lin Long and the others arrived at Ancient Leaf City. After asking around, they received news that the Sixth Prince and the others were still in Ancient Leaf City.
The group immediately rushed to Three Stone Town where the Sixth Prince and the others were.
The reason why the Sixth Prince and the others were still here was because they hadn't caught the Blazing Wing Bird.
However, the Blazing Wing Bird was last seen three days ago. As for whether it was still in Ancient Leaf City, no one knew. Because the Sixth Prince and the others didn't have Lin Long's methods, they could only wait here.
Lin Long and the others quickly arrived at Three Stone Town. From afar, they saw a few newly built houses surrounded by people. It was obvious that this was the camp of the Sixth Prince and the others.
"Young Master, what should we do?" Qian Jiayi asked.
"Spread the news that the Blazing Wing Bird was found in Lotus Leaf Mountain. Lure them out," Lin Long said.
Along the way, they had already found out the strength of the Sixth Prince and the others. They only had five experts who could activate grade 5 ice talismans. They weren't a match for Lin Long and the others at all.
However, Lin Long didn't plan to rush out just like that. He didn't want everyone to know.
After hearing Lin Long's words, Miao Feng went to find two people from the town. Then, he pretended to be frightened and said that the Blazing Wing Bird was found in Lotus Leaf Mountain.
His acting was quite good, so the two people didn't suspect anything. They were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly went to inform the others in the town.
The news quickly spread to the Sixth Prince and the others.
After hearing the news, the Sixth Prince immediately led his subordinates to Three Stone Town's Lotus Leaf Mountain.
Lotus Leaf Mountain was located in the northern part of Three Stone Town. It wasn't far from Three Stone Town. Soon, the Sixth Prince and the others arrived at the foot of Lotus Leaf Mountain.
As soon as they arrived, Lin Long and the others, who had been waiting for a while, appeared.
The Sixth Prince and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. At this moment, they knew that someone had deliberately released the news about the Blazing Wing Bird to trick them into coming here.
"Who are you people?" A tall man beside the Sixth Prince shouted loudly.
"Qian Jiayi!" Qian Jiayi, who was wearing a scarf, took it off and revealed her beautiful face.
"Qian Jiayi!"
When they saw Qian Jiayi, the Sixth Prince and the others' expressions became even more unsightly.
They thought back to when Qian Jiayi and the others had turned the entire secret realm upside down. They didn't think that they were a match for Qian Jiayi and the others.
The Sixth Prince, who was standing in front, was extremely calm. He frowned and said, "What do you want?"
"Sixth Prince, we aren't here to cause trouble. We just want to tell you something and cooperate with you," Qian Jiayi said.
"Cooperate? Are you all crazy? You are the traitors of the Ice Peak Nation. You actually want to cooperate with the Sixth Prince? "The person from before said coldly.
"That's right!" The people behind the Sixth Prince echoed in agreement.
As they spoke, they all took out the icy talismans they had on them.
