"Dean Wu Ziheng is locked up in a house in the academy. I heard that there are a few experts who can activate the rank 5 Ice Talisman guarding the house. General Gu Heng often goes to the area." Feng Ze said.
Linlong furrowed his brows when he heard Feng Ze's words.
It would be difficult for him to rescue Wu Ziheng based on that alone.
"Is Wu Ziheng alright?" Linlong asked again.
"Dean Wu Ziheng was beaten up by Dean Feng, but it was just a beating. His life was not in danger," Feng Ze said.
"That's good." Linlong nodded, then asked again, "I heard that the emperor sent an expert who can activate level-six ice talismans. Is that expert still in Mask Academy?"
"That expert is in Mask Academy, but I don't know where he is exactly. In any case, I have never seen him. The people I followed have never seen him either," Feng Ze said.
"Is that so?" Linlong frowned.
"Brother Lin, can you let me go?" Feng Ze, who was afraid that Linlong would attack him, quickly said.
"Seeing that you are honest, I will not kill you. However, before I leave, I will have to trouble you to take this Ten Days Heart Attack Pill," Linlong said.
As he spoke, he took out a Ten Days Heart Attack Pill and threw it to Feng Ze.
After receiving it, what else could Feng Ze do? He could only swallow it obediently.
"Even the strongest Medicine Master Feng in the Ice Peak Nation can't neutralize this Ten Days Heart Attack Pill. So, I hope you won't play any tricks!" Linlong said coldly.
"Brother Lin, thank you … Don't worry, I will definitely not play any tricks," Feng Ze hurriedly said.
Then, he asked again, "Do you need me to help you?"
"Help? There's no need for that for now. Just stay here obediently and don't expose my whereabouts," said Linlong.
"Okay." Feng Ze nodded.
"Alright, you can leave now. As for the antidote, I will give it to you regularly in the future," Linlong said.
Feng Ze hurriedly left.
After Feng Ze left, Linlong turned and walked toward the western part of the Catacombs.
It was difficult to save Wu Ziheng now, so he temporarily gave up and decided to kill the purple tiger first.
The reason why he let Feng Ze go was not because he was benevolent, but because he did not want Gu Heng and the others to be vigilant. In this kind of situation, Feng Ze's disappearance would definitely attract the attention of Gu Heng and the others.
Otherwise, he would not keep a hidden danger like Feng Ze.
…
Zhang Cheng did not know where the wolf was taking him. It had walked for a long time and passed through several caves, but it still did not stop.
The only thing he understood was that this wild wolf must have been ordered by someone. Otherwise, it would have eaten him alive.
Zhang Cheng didn't dare to shout because he was afraid that he would attract the attention of the Lu and Mu families. Therefore, he could only let the wild wolf take him away.
After another half an hour, the wild wolf finally stopped and placed him on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Cheng saw a middle-aged man in black standing in front of him. The middle-aged man looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Are you Zhang Cheng?"
"Yes, I am Zhang Cheng. Who are you? What do you want?" Zhang Cheng quickly said.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you for now," the middle-aged man in black said.
"Then you want to take me to the emperor to earn a merit?" Zhang Cheng could not help but ask.
"You're wrong. I won't do that," the man said.
"Then what do you want?" Zhang Cheng was confused. He could see that the man did not lie to him.
The man did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you know where Qian Jiayi and the others are?"
"If I knew, why would I come to the Lu family?" Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly.
"That's true." The man nodded and said, "Then I can only take you away first."
After saying that, he took a step forward and took out a black cloth.
'Is this man trying to cover my eyes?' Zhang Cheng guessed.
Sure enough, as soon as he thought about it, the man had already tied the black cloth on his head and covered his eyes.
Then, the black-clothed man brought Zhang Cheng forward.
After walking for a full day and a half, Zhang Cheng felt that he had arrived at the edge of the water. Then, the man brought him to a boat. The boat traveled for half an hour before stopping. The man continued to bring him forward.
They should have arrived at the other party's camp because they met a few people along the way who greeted them.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the black cloth was taken away. At this time, Zhang Cheng found himself in a room. In front of him was the middle-aged man in black.
"You stay here." After saying that, the middle-aged man in black left, leaving behind a dumbfounded Zhang Cheng.
The middle-aged man in black then came in front of a young man in his thirties. This young man had a gloomy expression.
"Greetings, young master!" The middle-aged man in black said respectfully.
"Did you capture Zhang Cheng?" The young man who was addressed as young master asked.
"Yes, young master." The middle-aged man in black replied. "He is now locked in a room. Young master, do you want to go and see?"
"En, bring me there." The young man said.
"Young master, follow me." After saying that, the middle-aged man in black led the way.
Soon, he brought the young man to the room where Zhang Cheng was locked.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, the young man asked, "You are Zhang Cheng?"
"That's right. I am Zhang Cheng. Who are you?" Zhang Cheng frowned.
He could already tell that the middle-aged man in black was the young man's subordinate.
The young man smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth. This is the Thousand Face Lake."
"Thousand Face Lake?" Zhang Cheng could not help but be surprised. He did not expect to come to such a place.
The Thousand Face Lake was very mysterious in the eyes of the people of the Ice Peak Country. Almost no one knew where it was.
At this time, he finally understood why the other party covered his eyes.
"What do you want?" Zhang Cheng asked again.
"It's very simple. I want to use you to lure Qian Jiayi and the others here!" The young man sneered.
"From the looks of it, you seem to have a grudge against that Miss Qian?" Zhang Cheng could not help but ask.
"That's right. I have a grudge against that Qian Jiayi!" The young man sneered again. Then, he changed the topic, "I heard that Wu Ziheng asked you to bring something to Qian Jiayi. What is it? Is it with you now?"
"That thing has already been taken away by the Lu and Mu families!" Zhang Cheng said.
"En. Is this true?" The young man's face darkened and he said coldly.
At the same time, he turned to look at the middle-aged man in black.
"Young master, I was watching him the whole way. The thing is definitely still with him." The middle-aged man in black said hurriedly.
"Oh, it seems like you know how to lie?" The young man turned to look at Zhang Cheng and a cold smile appeared on his face.
After saying that, he directly kicked Zhang Cheng's abdomen.
"Wah …"
The excruciating pain made Zhang Cheng scream out loud.
The young man then said to the middle-aged man in black, "Torture him when you have time. I hate it when people lie to me!"
"Yes, young master!" The middle-aged man in black said respectfully.
"I think that thing is in the Space Ring on your hand." As he said so, the young man took a step forward and took the Space Ring from Zhang Cheng's hand.
Zhang Cheng naturally did not want to give it to him, but he could not move at all.
Soon, the young man took out a glass bottle from the Space Ring.
After opening the bottle and taking a closer look, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He then said, "It's the Purple Tiger's blood essence!"
The young man seemed to be knowledgeable. After thinking for a while, he said again, "Could it be that Qian Jiayi and the others can refine the Purple Fire Talisman?"
"It should be. Otherwise, why would His Majesty be so anxious?" After thinking for a while, he said to himself with more certainty.
Having said that, he directly put away the glass bottle and walked out with the middle-aged man in black.
"Young master, what should we do next?" At this time, the middle-aged man in black asked.
"Doesn't Qian Jiayi have subordinates active in the Imperial City West Street? We just need to spread some news and those people will find us." The young man said.
"This subordinate will do as you say." The middle-aged man in black immediately said.
"Good!" The young man nodded.
The middle-aged man in black then left to deal with this matter.
Soon, Elder Liang, who was in charge of collecting information in the Imperial City, received the news. Elder Liang immediately reported the matter to Wang Yingxiang.
Wang Yingxiang did not go to the Heyuan City Mask Academy with Lin Long and Qian Jiayi, but returned to the Imperial City.
"En, someone captured Dean Wu's disciple, Zhang Cheng, and wants to make a deal with us?" Hearing Elder Liang's words, Wang Yingxiang frowned.
The news that the emperor had sent people to capture Wu Ziheng's people had already spread throughout the Icy Peak Country, so they naturally knew about it.
Wang Yingxiang faintly felt that Zhang Cheng had the Purple Tiger's blood essence.
"Yes, Young Master Wang." Elder Liang nodded.
"This news can't be fake, right?" Wang Yingxiang asked.
"I think it's very likely to be true. Young Master Wang, why don't we go and take a look?" Elder Liang said.
"Okay, bring us there." Wang Yingxiang nodded.
After that, Elder Liang brought Wang Yingxiang and the others to meet the person who gave him the information.
Not long after, they saw that person in a tavern. He was wearing a large conical bamboo hat that covered most of his face. Wang Yingxiang and the others could only see his chin.
"You said that you have news of Zhang Cheng, and that he has been captured?" Wang Yingxiang went straight to the point.
"That's right. If you believe me, you can go to the pier on the west side of the Ding City River tonight. At that time, someone will meet you … Moreover, you can only come alone," the person said.
After saying that, the person stood up and left.
"Young Master Wang, should we follow him?" Someone beside Wang Yingxiang hurriedly asked.
"No need." Wang Yingxiang shook his head. He had already decided to go to the Ding City River tonight.
"Young Master Wang, are you going to go alone?" Elder Liang could not help but ask.
"Yes." Wang Yingxiang nodded.
"Young Master Wang, that's not appropriate. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. How about this? You can be in the light while the rest of us hide in the dark. That way, nothing will happen," Li Tong, who had also followed Wang Yingxiang over, suggested.
"Alright, let's do that." Wang Yingxiang pondered for a moment before replying.
At night, when it was almost midnight, Wang Yingxiang and the others directly headed to the pier on the west side of the Ding City River.
There was not a single person there. Therefore, Li Tong and the others did not dare to get too close and let Wang Yingxiang walk to the pier alone.
After arriving at the pier, Wang Yingxiang did not see anyone. After waiting for an hour, he still did not see anyone.
Could it be that he was tricked? Wang Yingxiang furrowed his brows.
Just when he was about to leave, a black-masked man appeared in front of him.
"Are you the person who agreed?" The black-masked man looked at Wang Yingxiang and asked.
"That's right." Wang Yingxiang nodded.
"Oh, then can you tell me if you are Qian Jiayi's person?" The black-masked man asked.
"That's right." Wang Yingxiang nodded again and asked, "Is Zhang Cheng really with you guys?"
"Zhang Cheng is indeed outside. However, I realized that you are not being honest. You were clearly asked to come alone, but there are still many people behind you." The black-masked man suddenly said.
Wang Yingxiang's eyes narrowed. He did not expect Li Tong and the others to be discovered even though they were so far away.
"I will let them go now!" Wang Yingxiang hurriedly said.
Who would have thought that the black-masked man would say, "No need … If you really want to find Zhang Cheng, then let Qian Jiayi come here herself!"
"Why must it be Miss Qian?" Wang Yingxiang frowned.
"You don't need to ask about that. In short, Qian Jiayi must come personally. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to see Zhang Cheng!" After saying that, the black-masked man actually turned around and left.
"Wait!" Wang Yingxiang hurriedly said.
"En, what is it?" The black-masked man asked.
"If Miss Qian comes, does it mean that she can only go alone? Also, when can I see you guys? "Wang Yingxiang asked.
"Of course, she can only come alone … As for the time, it will be every night!" After saying that, the black-masked man walked away.
Wang Yingxiang did not chase after him because he did not have the confidence to defeat the black-masked man.
After that, he walked to the side of Li Tong and the others.
Seeing that Wang Yingxiang had returned, Li Tong and the others hurriedly asked, "What's the situation now?"
"The black-masked man's request is that Miss Qian Jiayi must come," Wang Yingxiang said.
"What request?" Hearing his words, Li Tong and the others could not help but be puzzled.
"I do not know." Wang Yingxiang shook his head.
"When the time comes, can a few people follow Miss Qian?" Li Tong asked.
"The black-masked man said that Miss Qian will come alone," Wang Yingxiang replied.
"Isn't that very dangerous? We cannot let Miss Qian come alone."
"I also feel that it is very dangerous." Wang Yingxiang nodded his head and said, "But no matter what, this matter must be reported to Miss Qian and Young Master Lin. When the time comes, we will let them decide."
"Of course." Li Tong and the others nodded their heads.
After that, they left. After leaving, Li Tong directly went to River Source City to find Qian Jiayi and Lin Long.
