"Master Zong, you're wrong again. Other than this Purple Flame Talisman, there are many people following behind me. If they use their joint attack technique together with this Purple Flame Talisman, do you think you can deal with them?" Linlong smiled indifferently. He was not afraid of the cold air that Master Zong was about to release.
"Hmm?" Hearing Lin Long's words, the fear in Grandmaster Zong's heart rose again. The memory of Old He losing an arm to Lin Long and the others' combined attack was still fresh in his mind.
If there were seven or eight people behind this kid and they could all use their joint attack technique, he might not be a match for them. It would be troublesome if they ended up like Elder He. Where there's life, there's hope! This thought flashed through Master Zong's mind.
Thus, he stopped the rune terminology that he was about to recite and said coldly, "Kid, consider yourself lucky!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
As he was a little far from the others, if he clashed with Linlong and the others, they would not be able to help him in time. Thus, he made this choice.
Seeing Master Zong leave, Linlong could not help but heave a sigh of relief. To be honest, the Purple Flame Talisman in his hand was much weaker than before, so he was not confident that he could deal with Master Zong.
As for the others, they were also quite far away and could not help him in time. What he said just now was just to scare Master Zong.
"Young Master, are you worried that you can't deal with Master Zong?" Dong Luo asked.
Dong Luo could tell this from the moment Linlong lied to Master Zong that their people were behind them.
"Yes, my Purple Flame Talisman is much weaker than before. I have no confidence in escaping," Linlong said.
"Then what should we do now? Should we continue to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird? "someone asked.
"No, let's hurry up and leave this place. If Master Zong notices that something is wrong or brings others here, we'll be in trouble," Linlong said.
Even if he gathered all the people he brought, he was not confident that he could deal with Master Zong and the others. Thus, he naturally had to retreat.
As for the Flaming Winged Bird, which the bamboo rat already remembered, he could only give up.
After saying that, Linlong turned around and left with Dong Luo and the others.
Once he left, he went to find Qian Jiayi and the others. With the bamboo rat's ability, he quickly found them.
"Young Master, have you found the Blazing Wing Bird?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask when she saw Linlong.
Linlong sighed and said, "Yes, I did. I also asked the bamboo rat to remember its aura. Unfortunately, I suddenly encountered Master Zong."
"Grandmaster Zong? Why is he here? "Qian Jiayi and the others were surprised.
"They must have been chasing after the Flaming Winged Bird just like us. That's how they ended up bumping into each other," Linlong said.
"Young Master, did you use that Purple Flame Talisman to chase Grandmaster Zong away?" Miao Feng asked after sizing up Linlong and the others.
In his opinion, Linlong and the others were able to leave safely because Linlong had activated the Purple Flame Talisman.
"No," Linlong said. "I took out the Purple Flame Talisman and told you to stay behind me. Master Zong thought about it for a while and left. He was alone."
"That means Grandmaster Zong was scared away." Miao Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right. Otherwise, we would have had a fierce battle. We are outnumbered, and Young Master's Purple Flame Talisman isn't as strong as before. If we fought, we would definitely be at a disadvantage," Dong Luo said with lingering fear.
"Alright, let's stop talking. We have to leave this place quickly. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Grandmaster Zong catches up with us," Linlong said.
Then, he quickly led Qian Jiayi and the others in the opposite direction of Grandmaster Zong.
After being scared away, Grandmaster Zong quickly encountered his people. When he saw them, Grandmaster Zong was immediately delighted. With his strength and these people, he didn't need to be afraid of Linlong, Qian Jiayi, and the others anymore.
He immediately said, "Just now, I met Qian Jiayi and the others. You guys, come with me to deal with them!"
After saying that, he didn't explain anything and directly ran towards the place where he met Linlong and the others.
After being stunned for a moment, they quickly followed behind him.
However, when they arrived, they didn't see anyone. Unwilling to give up, Grandmaster Zong immediately searched the surroundings.
However, after searching for half a day, he still couldn't find Linlong and the others. In the end, he could only give up.
As for the Flaming Winged Bird that he failed to catch up to, it was also because of this matter that he couldn't find it.
After searching the Ning Nan Mountain for a while, Grandmaster Zong could only lead everyone away.
On the other side, Linlong and the others safely returned to the imperial city.
In the following period of time, Linlong didn't let his people leave the imperial city. Instead, they hid within the imperial city. After all, Grandmaster Zong and the others were too strong. If they didn't gather together, it would be difficult for them to deal with any one of them.
Linlong was in a dilemma. The only way he could deal with Grandmaster Zong and the others was to obtain the Purple Tiger's blood essence. The problem was that the Purple Tiger was in the Mask Academy. Elder Ku and Elder Meng would definitely guard it to the death. The possibility of him obtaining the Purple Tiger's blood essence was close to zero.
Linlong decided to observe for a while and act according to the situation.
Unknowingly, a few days passed. During these few days, the Flaming Winged Birds didn't stop. They would often appear near the imperial city. There was even one Flaming Winged Bird that appeared in the imperial city.
These Flaming Winged Birds had killed thousands of civilians. Many experts had even died because of them.
Fortunately, there weren't many of them. Otherwise, the Ice Peak Country wouldn't have been able to deal with them.
On this day, the Emperor gathered all the experts in the central hall to discuss how to deal with these Flaming Winged Birds.
When everyone arrived, the Emperor focused his gaze on Grandmaster Zong and said, "Grandmaster Zong, do you have any plans to deal with them?"
"Your Majesty, these Flaming Winged Birds seem endless. Every time we kill them, they appear out of nowhere again," Grandmaster Zong said with a bitter expression.
"Fortunately, they are all weaker Flaming Winged Birds. There aren't any Flaming Winged Birds like the one in Prime Minister He's ring. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable," Elder He, who had lost an arm, said.
"These Flaming Winged Birds have all appeared near the Imperial City. They should have come from a certain place. Can we find a place where we can stop these Flaming Winged Birds from appearing?" an official asked.
This official's strength was low, but his words hit the nail on the head.
"We've been thinking about this for the past few days. However, these Flaming Winged Birds are extremely difficult to track. Even if we catch them, they will spontaneously combust in an instant. There's no way to deal with them," Grandmaster Zong said as he spread his hands.
"No matter what, Grandmaster Zong, you must continue doing this. No matter what, we must find the source of these Flaming Winged Birds and prevent them from coming to our Ice Peak Country!" the Emperor said solemnly.
He naturally knew what had happened over the past few days, so he didn't need Grandmaster Zong and the others to explain.
"Yes!" Grandmaster Zong hurriedly replied.
Although it was difficult, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
At that moment, someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is an extraordinary person in my hometown. He is an expert in tracking. Perhaps he can find the place where these Flaming Winged Birds appeared!"
The Emperor couldn't help but look at him and ask, "Is there really such a person?"
"Yes, there really is such a person," that person hurriedly said.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" the Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I was afraid that you would blame me if he couldn't find them even if he came," that person said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Don't worry, even if he can't find them, I won't blame you," the Emperor said.
"Then I'm relieved." That person heaved a sigh of relief.
However, the Emperor said, "However, you must guarantee that he is capable. Otherwise, he won't be able to escape punishment even if he is spared from death!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. He really does have that kind of ability," that person hurriedly said.
Although that was what he said, his back was drenched in cold sweat. After all, he had never seen that person's ability with his own eyes.
"Judging from Lord Xu's expression, that person might really have that kind of ability. However, what we are facing now is not an ordinary beast, but a Flaming Winged Bird," Grandmaster Zong said as he stared at Lord Xu.
His words made Lord Xu break out in cold sweat again.
He could only pray that the person he found was really capable of doing so.
"Since that's the case, Lord Xu, please find that person," the Emperor immediately said.
"It's easy to find that person, but that person is extremely arrogant. Even with my status, I'm afraid that I won't be able to invite him. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can send an expert who can activate a level-6 ice talisman to go with us," Lord Xu said.
"Who is he? Does he dare to disobey Your Majesty's orders?" Someone couldn't help but say coldly.
The Emperor waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, Grandmaster Zong, please send someone to go with Lord Xu."
"Elder He, you will go with Lord Xu," Grandmaster Zong said as he looked at the one-armed Elder He.
"Yes," Elder He replied.
"All of you should depart now. Go and return quickly!" The emperor commanded.
Elder He followed Lord Xu and left the imperial city, heading straight for the easternmost region of the Ice Peak Country.
After about three days, they arrived at the foot of a tall mountain at the eastern border of the Ice Peak Country.
"This tall mountain is the Great Huan Mountain. That extraordinary person is in this mountain. His name is Wang Tongtian," a middle-aged man beside the two of them said.
This middle-aged man was an advisor of the nearby county magistrate and was very familiar with the area. When he heard that Lord Xu and Elder He were looking for Wang Tongtian, the county magistrate hurriedly brought the advisor along.
"Wang Tongtian, tsk tsk. How arrogant!" Elder He couldn't help but sneer.
"It's said that the reason why he's so good at tracking is because he raised a wild wolf with a sharp nose. The wild wolf is completely black and he named it Evernight," the advisor continued.
"I see." Elder He nodded.
After the explanation, they stayed where they were and sent people to search for Wang Tongtian in the Great Huan Mountain.
The advisor didn't come alone. He brought many people with him, so there was no need for them to personally search for him.
