Two experts who could activate level-5 ice talismans happened to be in the vicinity of the Flaming Winged Bird, so they immediately blocked its path.
"We managed to stop it!" The two of them shouted excitedly.
At the same time, they activated the ice talismans in their hands.
However, in the next moment, their expressions changed drastically. The Flaming Winged Bird did not care about their ice talismans at all. Instead, it charged directly towards them.
When they arrived in front of them, a powerful heatwave enveloped them, making it difficult for them to breathe. Before they could recover from their shock, their bodies had already been set ablaze. The flames were extremely fierce, and their Ice Qi couldn't stop them at all.
"Ahhhh …" They screamed miserably as they fell to the ground.
This was too terrifying! When they saw how powerful the Flaming Winged Bird was, the few people who were close to it subconsciously stopped in their tracks. They did not want to be injured by the flames of the Flaming Winged Bird like the two people just now.
"Don't be afraid. Chase after it!" Master Zong hurriedly shouted.
As he shouted, he took the lead and charged towards the Flaming Winged Bird. The other two elders who could activate level-6 ice talismans followed closely behind him.
It was obvious that the Flaming Winged Bird did not want to be entangled with them. It immediately turned around and fled. Naturally, Master Zong and the others chased after it.
However, the Flaming Winged Bird was extremely fast. In a short while, it had shaken them off completely.
Master Zong could only turn around and look for Wang Tongtian. He said to Wang Tongtian, "Wang Tongtian, quickly get your black wolf to follow it!"
Wang Tongtian, who had seen how powerful the Flaming Winged Bird was, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. However, he did not dare to say no to the powerful Master Zong.
"Yes!" He could only reply and get Black Wolf to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird.
At that moment, Black Wolf followed in front while Master Zong and the others followed behind.
This time, he did not dare to be as careless as before. He made sure that at least four people stayed together. Otherwise, if they encountered the Flaming Winged Bird, there would definitely be casualties.
Master Zong could already tell that if there were only two people who could activate level-5 ice talismans, they would have no chance of winning against the Flaming Winged Bird. They would only end up getting burned like the two people just now.
However, if there were four or more people, the ice talismans they could activate would at least ensure that they would not be injured by the Flaming Winged Bird's flames.
This way, he would be able to buy time for the others to surround and attack the Flaming Winged Bird.
This time, the Black Wolf was actually able to follow closely behind the Flaming Winged Bird. It was unknown whether the Flaming Winged Bird was intentionally maintaining a distance or something else.
However, Master Zong didn't care anymore. He only had one thought in mind, and that was to take down this Burning Winged Bird.
After chasing for a while, they came to a pile of rocks.
At this point, Black Wolf stopped and howled at a boulder in front of it.
"The Blazing Wing Bird is behind the rocks. Everyone, surround it. Make sure that there are at least four of us together!" Master Zong immediately said.
Immediately, everyone gathered around him.
Very quickly, they surrounded the pile of rocks. However, they were puzzled to find that there were no Flaming Winged Birds around the pile of rocks.
"Not good!" Wang Tongtian couldn't help but shout.
While he was shouting, a dull sound suddenly came from the direction they came from, and they subconsciously looked in that direction.
The Flaming Winged Bird actually broke through the ground and charged towards the Black Wolf.
The Black Wolf was originally a ferocious beast, but in the face of the Flaming Winged Bird, it was so frightened that it sprawled on the ground and started whimpering.
The Flaming Winged Bird didn't give it any chance. It directly pounced towards it. By the time the Flaming Winged Bird flew past, the Black Wolf's body was already burning with raging flames.
The Black Wolf naturally started to flee, and it ran towards Wang Tongtian.
However, before it could reach Wang Tongtian, it had already collapsed to the ground.
Wang Tongtian immediately rushed towards the Black Wolf, but when he looked at the Black Wolf, he felt a sense of helplessness. There was no sign of life in the Black Wolf.
Wang Tongtian was completely disheartened. The achievements he had today were completely related to the Black Wolf. Now that the Black Wolf was dead, what else could he rely on in the future? In front of the Emperor, Master Zong, and the others, his status would immediately drop, and he would be no different from an ordinary expert.
Master Zong didn't have time to care about the Black Wolf and Wang Tongtian. He immediately led his men to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird. However, the Flaming Winged Bird didn't give them a chance. After chasing for a while, they couldn't even see the Flaming Winged Bird's shadow. In the end, they could only helplessly return.
When they returned to Wang Tongtian's side, Master Zong couldn't help but frown as he looked at the Black Wolf's corpse on the ground.
They were able to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird completely because of the Black Wolf. Now that the Black Wolf was dead, what else could they use to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird? There was no way for them to find the source of the Flaming Winged Bird's appearance.
Damn it, they were actually fooled by the Flaming Winged Bird! Master Zong cursed inwardly.
"Wang Tongtian, is there any other Black Wolf that can track us?" Master Zong looked at Wang Tongtian and asked.
"No," Wang Tongtian replied weakly.
"No? Then let's go back!" Master Zong's expression was ugly.
Since it had already happened, he could only accept the reality.
The group of people quickly returned to the Imperial City, and the moment they arrived, Master Zong went to see the Emperor.
"Master Zong, is there still no result?" The Emperor couldn't help but frown when he saw Master Zong's dejected expression.
"Your Majesty, we have failed to live up to your expectations. We were unable to chase after the Flaming Winged Bird," Master Zong said helplessly.
"If you can't catch it, continue to chase after it. There will always be a chance!" The Emperor consoled him.
"Your Majesty, the Black Wolf has already been killed by the Flaming Winged Bird. In the future, we won't be able to chase after it like before." Master Zong sighed.
"What? The Black Wolf has been killed? " The Emperor couldn't help but be shocked. He had placed all his hopes on the Black Wolf, but it had actually been killed.
"Who killed it?" The Emperor couldn't help but ask.
"The Flaming Winged Bird killed it. The Flaming Winged Bird actually used a diversion tactic to kill Hei Lan when we weren't paying attention," Master Zong said.
"That Flaming Winged Bird is actually that smart?" The Emperor was shocked once again.
"I only hope that there is only one Flaming Winged Bird like that. If there are more, it will be even more troublesome," Master Zong said.
"If that's the case, then we won't be able to continue chasing after it in the future … What about Wang Tongtian? Does he still have a Black Wolf like that?" The Emperor asked.
"I've asked. He doesn't have a Black Wolf like that anymore." Master Zong shook his head.
"That's really troublesome." The Emperor's expression became even more unsightly.
"Your Majesty, should we issue a decree and gather all the people with special abilities in the Icy Peak Country? Let's see who has the ability to chase after it," Master Zong said.
"That's the only way," the Emperor said.
After that, he acted according to Master Zong's instructions.
There was probably no one else who had the ability to do so, but that was the only thing the Emperor could do.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed. Everyone in the Icy Peak Country knew about the Emperor's intentions, but no one came to the Imperial City to say that they had the ability to do so.
During this period of time, the Flaming Winged Birds suddenly became even more savage. In just a few days, thousands of people were killed by the Flaming Winged Birds.
The Emperor had no choice but to order Master Zong and the others to chase after the Flaming Winged Birds. Unfortunately, the Flaming Winged Birds were too fast. Even if they killed some of them, it wouldn't be of much use.
Most importantly, even if they killed some of them, an equal number of Flaming Winged Birds would appear.
This caused the Emperor to be unable to sleep well for a few days. However, he had no other way to deal with it.
Linlong and the others were naturally aware of the situation in the Icy Peak Country.
On this day, Qian Jiayi, who was standing beside Linlong, said, "Young Master, why don't we make peace with His Majesty? Then, you can use your tracking ability to help Master Zong and the others track down the Flaming Winged Birds."
As a member of the Icy Peak Country, Qian Jiayi was obviously concerned about the people of the Icy Peak Country. She couldn't bear to see them being killed by the Flaming Winged Birds.
Before Linlong could speak, Miao Feng, who was standing beside him, said, "Miss Qian, that won't do. If Master Zong and the others suddenly attack Young Master while you're helping them, you won't be a match for them even if you have three heads and six arms."
"Yes, Miao Feng is right. We can help, but the risk is too great. If we're not careful, Young Master might become their prisoner," Dong Luo said.
"Of course." Qian Jiayi replied after hearing the two of them speak in such a manner.
Linlong said, "Let's wait and see."
Linlong naturally wanted to deal with the Flaming Winged Birds, but he didn't want to risk his life.
The main reason was that Master Zong and the others who could activate the Level 6 Ice Talisman were too powerful.
…
Another two days passed. During these two days, the number of Flaming Winged Birds actually doubled. This caused Master Zong and the others to be exhausted.
Knowing that this wouldn't do, the emperor quickly gathered all the experts to discuss a countermeasure.
"My beloved subjects, think again and see if there's any way to deal with these Flaming Winged Birds," the emperor said to everyone.
During this period of time, he didn't know how many times he had said this, but no one was able to give him a satisfactory answer.
The scene fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
After a moment, someone suddenly stood up.
"Yes, Eunuch Meng, do you have any ideas?" Thinking that Eunuch Meng had an idea, the emperor couldn't help but smile.
"Your Majesty, this old servant doesn't have any ideas. However, this old servant thinks that these Flaming Winged Birds came from the Imperial City's secret realm. As long as we enter the secret realm, we will definitely be able to find the reason and avoid this disaster," Eunuch Meng said.
"That's right, Your Majesty, it's very likely that they came from the secret realm."
Quite a few people immediately responded.
In the past, there had been people who had suggested this, but they were all rejected by the emperor. Therefore, no one had mentioned it for the past few days. It was only now that Eunuch Meng brought it up again.
The emperor furrowed his brows and sighed. "Alright, then let's open the secret realm and enter it to see what exactly is going on."
Although this was very risky, the emperor couldn't care less.
