C2175 Fear of the Night(part I)
"Mm, not bad, not bad." Looking at this scene, Elder He could not help but nod his head in praise.
"Old He, can you pass?" Wang Tongtian asked.
"Pass the test. You can follow us to the Imperial City now." Old He immediately said.
Hearing Elder He's words, Wang Tongtian stood up and walked over to Old He.
After looking at Wang Tongtian a few more times, he opened his mouth and said, "Alright, come with us to the Imperial City now."
With that, he turned and walked out. Wang Tongtian naturally followed behind him. As for the others, they quickly followed them.
After spending almost the same amount of time, they finally returned to the Imperial City. Elder He brought Wang Tongtian directly to the Imperial Palace and waited for the Emperor here.
Before long, the Emperor, Grandmaster Zong and the others walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Grandmaster Zong!" Upon seeing the two of them, Wang Tongtian hurriedly greeted them respectfully.
He could put on airs towards Old He, but he did not have the guts to face the Emperor and Grandmaster Zong.
Grandmaster Zong was a famous figure of the Ice Peak Country, so even if Wang Tongtian hadn't met him before, he would have recognized him as soon as he had the chance.
"You are that strange person with tracking abilities?" The emperor looked at Wang Tongtian and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I was fortunate enough to have that ability, and this ability is related to the black wolf beside me." Wang Tongtian quickly replied.
As the key link, the black wolf was also allowed to enter the central palace.
"This black wolf looks extraordinary at first glance. I didn't expect it to have this kind of ability." The emperor could not help but glance at the black wolf as he spoke.
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" A person beside the Emperor reminded him.
Do I need your reminder? Wang Tongtian silently cursed.
How could he dare to express his thoughts in such a manner? He could only hurry and say, "Your Majesty, my name is Wang Tongtian, and I am from the Great Recovery Mountain of the Viridescent Eagle Country."
At this time, Old He said, "Your Majesty, I've already tested this black wolf. It does have tracking abilities."
"That's good. However, that Flamewing Bird is no ordinary beast. Are you sure your black wolf can follow?" The emperor looked at Wang Tongtian and asked.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. With the night sky's ability, we'll definitely be able to track and find those Flamewing Birds ?" Wang Tongtian said.
Then he added, "He and I are like father and son. I call him Night."
"Yes." The emperor nodded approvingly again.
Just as he was speaking, an eunuch hurriedly entered from outside, saying as he walked, "Your Majesty, Grandmaster Zong, there's a Flaming Winged Bird outside the southern city gates."
"They actually attacked the Imperial City again!" Hearing this, Everyone at the scene frowned.
"What's the situation now, is there anyone chasing after him?" the Emperor asked.
"Two generals have already taken their men to chase them." the eunuch replied.
"Your Majesty, we might as well follow him and test the abilities of this black wolf." Grandmaster Zong said at this time.
"Yes, we'll follow them now." The Emperor nodded.
He found the source of these flamingos all the time, so he naturally didn't want to waste any time.
Finished speaking, he looked at Wang Tongtian and said, "Wang Tongtian, this is your chance to show off. If you can find the place where the Flaming Winged Bird appeared, I will definitely heavily reward you!"
"Thank you, your majesty." Wang Tongtian said. Then, he changed the subject, "I also want to obtain the guidance of the sect masters and master, then master the rank 6 Ice Talisman Paper."
Hearing him say so, Elder He hurriedly added, "Grandmaster Zong, I promised to teach him the rank 6 Ice Talisman Talisman Talisman once he has achieved something, but I want him to obey the orders of His Majesty and Grandmaster Zong."
"That's fine, but are you sure you won't disobey the orders of the emperor and me?" Grandmaster Zong said to Wang Tongtian.
"Grandmaster Zong, don't worry. I don't have any other goals, I just want to become stronger. If Grandmaster Zong can give me some pointers, I'll go through fire and tread on water." Wang Tongtian powerfully said.
"Alright, then I agree." Grandmaster Zong nodded.
If an extraordinary person like Wang Tongtian could submit to him like this, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Then, he changed the topic of the conversation, "Have you completely mastered the level five Ice Talisman Talisman? If you still haven't fully mastered it, the knowledge of this level six Ice Talisman cannot be taught to you."
"Grandmaster Zong, don't worry, I have completely mastered the level five Ice Talisman Paper." Wang Tongtian respectfully replied.
"That's good." Grandmaster Zong nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, hurry up and chase that Flamewing Bird." the Emperor urged.
"Yes sir!" Everyone answered in unison.
After which, Grandmaster Zong personally led the crowd in chasing after Qin Wentian.
In next to no time, they arrived at the southern gate of the Imperial City.
"Greetings Grandmaster Zong!" The guards at the entrance, who saw the grand master come out personally, all greeted him with extreme respect.
"There was a Flaming Winged Bird that just appeared here. Where did it go now?" Master Zong asked.
"Grandmaster Zong, General Mo Ge and General Yang Huan have already led men to chase after them." Someone quickly replied.
After he finished speaking, he pointed towards the south, "That Flaming Winged Bird is fleeing towards the south, so they are chasing towards the south."
"Let's chase!" Grandmaster Zong immediately said.
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already started chasing towards the south. The others naturally followed closely behind.
The people who had been chasing after them had left marks on the road, so they didn't need to think too much about it. They could just follow the marks and chase after them.
After chasing them to a mountain in the south, they saw seven or eight people, two of them wearing the uniform of the Ice Peak nation's generals.
They should be the two that were mentioned earlier, Mo Ge and Yang Huan. Grandmaster Zong thought to himself.
Before he could ask, someone beside him said, "Grandmaster Zong, those two generals are Mo Ge and Yang Huan."
When Mo Ge and Yang Huan saw Grandmaster Zong and the rest, they hurried over.
"Greetings Grandmaster Zong!" They said respectfully.
"You guys chased that Flamewing Bird over here. Where's the Flamewing Bird now?" Master Zong said with a frown.
Seeing the two of them like this, he could tell that most of these people had already lost them.
Sure enough, the two men said with a bitter face, "Grandmaster Zong, that Flaming Winged Bird's speed is too fast, and its hiding ability is astonishing as well. We didn't manage to overtake it and let it escape."
"What use are you guys to let the flamingos escape right under your noses!" Grandmaster Zong's face darkened as he coldly spoke.
Even though these sort of things happened frequently, even if it was him, he would still lose it instantly. However, he could not help but feel infuriated.
Being scolded in such a manner by Grandmaster Zong, these two people could only remain silent, even though there was resentment in their hearts.
At this moment, Wang Tongtian, who was standing on the side, suddenly walked forward.
Could it be that Wang Tongtian had discovered something? Master Zong's eyes immediately lit up. He no longer paid any attention to the two, and instead focused his attention on Wang Tongtian.
He discovered that Wang Tongtian had walked over to a patch of charred grass. Looking at the appearance of the grass, it was clear that it had been burned by the flames coming off the wings of the Flaming Winged Bird.
Wang Tongtian stopped before reaching the weeds, and then he motioned for the black wolf to walk into them.
After circling around once, the black wolf stopped and looked at Wang Tongtian. One man and one wolf, they seemed to be communicating with each other.
"Wang Tongtian, did you discover something?" Elder He couldn't help but ask.
To his surprise, Wang Tongtian ignored him.
This Wang Tongtian doesn't even put me in his eyes. Elder He was unhappy and could not help but raise his voice, "Wang Tongtian, I'm asking you a question!"
"Elder He, don't disturb him!" Master Zong who was at the side suddenly said.
These words caused Old He to lose his temper and become silent.
A moment later, Wang Tongtian raised his head to look at Grandmaster Zong and said, "Grandmaster Zong, the dark night has caught a whiff of the Flaming Winged Bird's aura!"
"Really? That's great!" Hearing his words, the people around Grandmaster Zong all revealed joyous expressions.
"Wang Tongtian, these weeds have been completely burnt, there's no way for them to leave any traces at all. How could a black wolf like you be able to smell the Flaming Winged Bird's scent?" Elder He asked doubtfully.
It wasn't just him who was puzzled, but everyone else was as well. This was because this place in front of them was completely scorched black.
"It looks like it's burnt, but there's still some droppings left behind by the Flaming Winged Bird inside. With the ability of the night, it's easy to smell it." Wang Tongtian said.
"Is that so? Can we use this aura to track the Flaming Winged Bird?" Grandmaster Zong hurriedly asked.
"As long as the Flaming Winged Bird is nearby, there shouldn't be a problem." Wang Tongtian said.
"Alright, increase your efforts in searching around us!" Grandmaster Zong immediately said.
Soon after, everyone began to search the area.
Not long after, Wang Tongtian's eyes lit up. He turned to Master Zong and said, "Master Zong, the dark night has already caught a whiff of the Flaming Winged Bird. It's right in front of us!"
After speaking, he ignored Grandmaster Zong and directly led the black wolf in pursuit.
Grandmaster Zong and company hurriedly followed behind him.
After chasing for half the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Wang Tongtian suddenly shouted in joy, "That Flaming Winged Bird is in the dense forest ahead!"
When they saw him point it out, everyone was somewhat puzzled. There weren't any traces of burning nearby, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be any Winged Birds inside.
Elder He couldn't help but say, "Wang Tongtian, there aren't any traces of burning here. There shouldn't be any Flaming Winged Birds, right? Did your black wolf missense something?"
"You're absolutely right. The Flaming Winged Bird is right in front of us, and it's not too far away!" Wang Tongtian firmly said.
Finished speaking, he told the black wolf to continue moving forward.
However, to his surprise, Black Wolf stopped in his tracks after only walking for a short while.
"Hei Ye, what happened?" Wang Tongtian couldn't help but ask.
This was because he could feel the Black Wolf's fear. At this moment, its body was trembling from fear.
He believed that if he stood in front of the black wolf, he would definitely be able to see the fear in its eyes.
At this moment, even those who were not familiar with the black wolf could see the fear in the black wolf's eyes.
"Wang Tongtian, could it be that your black wolf is afraid of that Flaming Winged Bird?" Master Zong said with a frown.
"That's not it. If it was afraid of sensing the Winged Bird's aura before, it would have absolutely been terrified." Wang Tongtian shook his head.
"Then why now? Could it be that there's a ferocious beast in the dense forest ahead that frightens the Black Wolf? " Elder He couldn't help but say.
"I don't know." Wang Tongtian shook his head.
"Since Black Wolf is afraid, that thing shouldn't be too far away. Let's go in!" After which, he directly walked inside.
The others quickly followed behind him.
