Soon, Linlong and the others arrived at the imperial city. They did not enter the imperial city's mystic realm directly. Instead, they went to see Wang Yingxiang, Elder Liang, and the others.
To Linlong's surprise, as soon as he saw Wang Yingxiang, Elder Liang, and the others in the courtyard, someone called out from outside, "Young Master, Eunuch Xi requests an audience."
Miao Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled. "En, why did Eunuch Xi come at this time? Could it be that something happened?"
Linlong said, "Call him in."
Eunuch Xi walked up to Linlong and the others.
"Greetings, Young Master," Eunuch Xi said respectfully.
"Eunuch Xi, what's the matter?" Linlong asked.
"Young master, it's like this. The emperor has already asked Grandmaster Zong and the other experts who can activate the sixth rank ice talismans to deal with you." Eunuch Xi said.
"Is that so." Linlong nodded. He was not surprised because he knew that the Emperor would do this sooner or later.
"Young Master, the Emperor and Grandmaster Zong still believe that you are from the Blazing Wing Sect." Eunuch Xi added.
"Why would they think so?" Wang Yingxiang was puzzled.
"Yeah, why do they think so?" Dong Luo was also puzzled.
"It's because of the Flaming Wing Birds that you guys encountered in Mask Academy. Although those Flaming Wing Birds attacked young master, they still believe that those Flaming Wing Birds are related to young master and young lady Qian. They believe that you guys are unable to completely control those Flaming Wing Birds, so the Flaming Wing Birds attacked young master." Eunuch Xi said.
"So that's how it is." Hearing Eunuch Xi's explanation, Dong Luo and the others understood what was going on.
"Where exactly did those Blazing Wing Birds come from?" Miao Feng couldn't help asking at this moment.
They had discussed this question along the way, but they could not come up with an answer. Even if there were still people in the Burning Wing Sect, it was impossible for them to sneak into Mask Academy and release so many Burning Wing Birds.
Everyone started discussing again, but in the end, they couldn't get an answer.
"Alright, let's not discuss this issue for now. Let's head to the Imperial City Mystery Zone first," Linlong said.
After that, Lin Long brought Miao Feng, Qian Jiayi, and the others to the Imperial City Mystic Realm.
The spatial crack at the entrance of the mystic realm was still not discovered by anyone. They still entered the mystic realm without alerting anyone in the imperial city.
After entering the mystic realm and greeting the people hiding inside, Linlong and the others returned to the front of the three spatial rifts.
This place was still the same as usual.
After carefully examining the three spatial cracks for a while, Linlong took out a Purple Flame Talisman and walked to the spatial crack in the middle.
Even if Linlong didn't say it, Qian Jiayi and the others knew that he was going to use the Purple Flame Talisman to open the spatial crack.
"I wonder where this spatial crack leads to?" Miao Feng couldn't help asking at this moment.
The others did not speak. They were all staring at Linlong.
In the next moment, Linlong activated the Purple Flame Talisman in his hand. Very quickly, the Purple Flame Talisman in his hand burned with purple flames.
As soon as the flames ignited, runes began to flash around the originally calm spatial crack.
In just a short while, the spatial crack began to vibrate. As the spatial crack vibrated, the entire secret realm began to vibrate as well. Although the magnitude of the vibration was not great, everyone could clearly feel it.
It seemed that the Purple Fire Talisman could really open the crack in the middle! The same thought flashed through Qian Jiayi and the others' minds.
As for Linlong, he was naturally filled with anticipation. He was very satisfied with the current situation because if this continued, the spatial crack would very likely open.
However, as time passed, his expression grew uglier. This was because the intensity of the spatial crack's vibrations grew smaller and smaller. In the end, when the Purple Flame Talisman was completely consumed, the spatial crack returned to its original state.
"This … What's going on?" Miao Feng couldn't help but shout.
As he shouted, he looked at Linlong, but Linlong's brows were tightly knitted. How could he tell?
At this moment, Qian Jiayi asked, "Young Master, do we need to try one more before we can open it?"
"Yes, that's possible." Linlong nodded.
After saying that, he took out another Purple Flame Talisman. He only had two Purple Flame Talismans left. In order to open the spatial crack, he didn't care so much anymore.
Very quickly, the Purple Flame Talisman in his hand burned again.
What made Linlong's expression turn ugly was that when the Purple Flame Talisman was used up, the spatial crack returned to its original state.
"Young Master, do we need to try one more?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask.
She knew that Linlong only had one left, but she could tell that Linlong really wanted to open the spatial crack.
"There's no need to try. There's no way to open the spatial crack." Linlong immediately shook his head.
Based on his experience, he could tell that even if he tried one more, he wouldn't be able to open the spatial crack. Naturally, he wouldn't let it go to waste.
"Then, what's going on?" Wang Yingxiang frowned and asked.
"It should be because the Purple Flame Talisman has a flaw," Linlong said.
According to the wooden token, the Purple Flame Talisman could open the spatial crack. However, it was useless now. There was an 80 to 90% chance that the Purple Flame Talisman had a flaw.
"Flaw? Could it be that the Purple Flame Talisman you made has a flaw? "Wang Yingxiang was puzzled.
He had always been in the imperial city, so he didn't know that the Purple Tiger blood essence that Wu Ziheng had given him had a flaw.
Dong Luo immediately explained to him. After listening to Dong Luo's explanation, Wang Yingxiang nodded to express his understanding.
Knowing that there was no point in staying here any longer, Linlong led everyone away.
What Linlong and the rest didn't know was that at that moment, in the central hall of the imperial palace, the Emperor had gathered all the experts in the imperial palace.
Grandmaster Zong, who was the last to enter, saw the Emperor's solemn expression and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Just now, the surroundings of the side hall shook. I asked someone to come out and ask around. The people in the martial arts field also said that the entire martial arts field was shaking at that time," the Emperor said.
"Could it be an earthquake? However, I was in my room just now, and there wasn't anything strange, "Grandmaster Zong said doubtfully.
"That's right, we didn't feel anything strange," a few people said.
"You all didn't feel anything strange, but the side hall and the martial arts field shook. This means that there is definitely a problem. After careful consideration, I feel that there is an 80 to 90% chance that something unforeseen happened in the secret realm," the Emperor said.
"Then it should be related to the secret realm," Grandmaster Zong immediately nodded his head.
"But, isn't the secret realm sealed?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"The secret realm is sealed, but it is normal for something unforeseen to happen," someone said.
"That's right, unforeseen events are normal, not to mention that the altar has already been destroyed," Grandmaster Zong agreed.
"Then, should we enter the secret realm to take a look? If the unforeseen event is too big, it will affect the imperial palace," someone said worriedly.
"Your Majesty sealed the secret realm to prevent the Flaming Wing Birds from coming out. If we want to enter the secret realm, we have to open it again. If there are Flaming Wing Birds in there, they might fly out and bring disaster to the Iceberg Country and the entire Frigid World. How can we open the secret realm so casually?" someone said with a frown.
"That's right, how can we open the secret realm so casually?" Grandmaster Zong said.
"That's right, we would rather the entire imperial palace be destroyed than let the Flaming Wing Birds out," the Emperor said solemnly.
Their words made the person who had made the suggestion feel awkward.
"Next, everyone should pay attention to every movement in the imperial palace. If something really happens, we will deal with it," the Emperor continued.
"Yes," everyone said in unison.
At that moment, a eunuch ran into the room in a panic and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, bad news! More Flaming Wing Birds have appeared!"
"Where did the Flaming Wing Birds appear?" the Emperor asked with an ugly expression.
"In Xiaoning Village outside the imperial city," the eunuch replied.
"Little Ning Village?" Hearing his words, everyone's complexion became incomparably ugly.
After all, Xiaoning Village was very close to the imperial city.
"How many Flaming Wing Birds have appeared?" the Emperor asked again.
"I think there are two," the eunuch replied.
"Is there anyone to deal with them?" Grandmaster Zong asked.
"There are already experts dealing with them. They should be able to kill the two Flaming Wing Birds soon … However, Xiaoning Village is in a miserable state. Almost all the people inside were killed by the Flaming Wing Birds," the eunuch replied.
The Emperor's expression became even uglier when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, could those Flaming Wing Birds have come out from the secret realm?" someone suddenly asked.
"That's possible," several people replied.
The Flaming Wing Birds had just appeared in the imperial palace, so they could not help but suspect that it had something to do with the imperial city's secret realm.
"No matter what, don't enter the secret realm unless something more difficult to deal with happens," the Emperor said directly.
He knew what these people were worried about.
However, if they entered the secret realm and allowed the Flaming Wing Birds to rush out, it would affect the Ice Peak Nation even more. He was not willing to take this risk.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go out and take a look," Grandmaster Zong said.
"Okay, Grandmaster Zong, you can go out and take a look." The Emperor immediately nodded in agreement.
After the crowd dispersed, Grandmaster Zong led an old man who could activate a sixth-grade ice talisman and several experts from the imperial palace toward Xiaoning Village.
Not long after, they arrived at Xiaoning Village.
Looking at the messy Xiaoning Village in front of them, their faces turned ugly.
"Greetings, Grandmaster Zong!" the soldiers guarding the village greeted Grandmaster Zong respectfully.
"Where are the two Flaming Wing Birds? Have they been killed?" Grandmaster Zong asked in a deep voice.
"General Zhang Chen led several experts toward Ningnan Mountain. I don't know the result," the soldiers replied.
As he spoke, he pointed toward the mountains in the south.
"Ningnan Mountain? Let's go after them!" Grandmaster Zong said without hesitation.
Immediately, he led the group in that direction.
