"Hmm?" Hearing Lin Long's words, the sect master's heart rose to his throat again. He still vividly remembered that Old He was no match for the combined attack that Lin Long and the others had activated before, even losing an arm.
If there were seven or eight people behind this fellow and he was able to use a combination attack technique, then he really wouldn't be their match. If he was like Elder He, then things would become troublesome. This thought quickly flashed through Grandmaster Zong's mind.
Therefore, he stopped the runic words he was about to say in silence, and then coldly said, "Brat, consider yourself lucky!"
Then, he turned around and ran.
As he was quite far away from the others, once he clashed with Lin Long and the others, they would not have enough time to support him.
Watching Sect Master leave, Lin Long could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Honestly speaking, the Purple Flame Talisman in his hand was so much weaker than before, he had no confidence in dealing with Sect Master at all.
As for the others, they were also quite far from them. They simply didn't have time to assist, and the words that he had said just now were nothing more than scaring the Great Master.
"Young Master, are you worried that you won't be able to deal with this Master Zong?" Dong Luo asked.
Dong Luo could see this point from how Lin Long had tricked the Sect Master into saying that their people were behind them.
"Yes, my Purple Flame Talisman is far too inferior compared to before. I simply do not have the confidence to escape." Lin Long said.
"So what do we do now? Do you want to continue chasing that Flamewing Bird? " A person at the side said.
"Stop chasing, hurry up and leave this place. If Grandmaster Zong discovers that something is wrong or brings other people here, we will be in trouble." Lin Long said directly.
Even if the people he brought with him were to gather together, he did not have the confidence to deal with Grandmaster Zong and the others, so he naturally had to retreat.
As for this Flaming Winged Bird that the Bamboo Mouse had already memorized, he could only give up.
With that, Lin Long turned and left with Dong Luo and the others.
Once he left, he immediately went to find Qian Jiayi and the others. With the Bamboo Mouse's abilities, he quickly gathered the rest.
"Young master, have you found the Flaming Winged Bird?" Seeing Lin Long, Qian Jiayi could not help but ask.
"I saw it. I also let Bamboo Mouse remember its aura, but unfortunately, I suddenly encountered Grandmaster Zong." Lin Long sighed.
"Grandmaster Zong? Why is he here? " Qian Jiayi and the others couldn't help but be surprised.
"They probably chased after the Flaming Winged Birds like us, and then they bumped into each other." Lin Long said.
"Young master, are you going to use that Purple Flame Talisman to chase away the Grandmaster Zong?" Looking at Lin Long and the rest, Miao Feng asked.
From his point of view, since Lin Long and the rest were able to leave safely, then it should be Lin Long who activated the purple flame talisman.
"No, I took out the Purple Flame Talisman and said that you guys were behind us. Grandmaster Zong considered for a moment and then left. He's only one person." Lin Long said.
"That means that Grandmaster Zong was scared away." Miao Feng could not help but laugh.
"Of course, otherwise we would have had a fierce battle. Since we have fewer people and the young master's Purple Flame Talisman is not stronger than before, we will definitely suffer a great loss if we fight." Dong Luo said with a frightened expression.
"Alright, let's not talk anymore. We need to hurry up and leave this place. Otherwise, if Grandmaster Zong brings people to chase after us, it will be very troublesome." Lin Long said.
He then quickly brought Qian Jiayi and the others to flee in the opposite direction from Grandmaster Zong.
Master Zong, who was scared off, quickly met the few people on his side. Looking at these people, Master Zong's heart was filled with joy, because with his strength and these people, he did not need to be afraid of Lin Long, Qian Jiayi and the rest.
He immediately said, "Just now, I met Qian Jiayi and the others in front of us. You guys come with me and deal with them!"
After he finished speaking, he did not bother to explain anymore and directly ran towards the direction where he met Lin Long and the others.
After being stunned for a moment, those few people hurriedly followed behind him.
However, when they arrived there, they still saw some figures. The unwilling Grandmaster Zong immediately began searching the surroundings.
However, after searching for half a day without being able to find Lin Long and the others, in the end, he could only give up.
As for the Flamewing Bird that hadn't caught up to him before, it was also because this matter wasn't discovered in the end.
After searching Ning Nanshan for a while longer, the grand master could only lead everyone and leave.
On the other hand, Lin Long and the rest had returned to the Imperial City safe and sound.
In the following time, Lin Long did not allow his men to leave the imperial city, but hid within the imperial city. After all, the sect masters and the rest were too strong, if they were to gather together, it would be difficult to deal with any one of them.
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 since the Purple Tiger was in the Mask Academy, Elder Ku and Elder Meng would definitely defend it with all their might. The possibility of him obtaining the blood essence of the Purple Tiger was practically zero.
Wait and see for a while, when the time comes, we will act accordingly, Lin Long thought.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed. These few days, the Flamewing Birds did not stop. There were often Flaming Winged Birds that appeared in the vicinity of the Imperial City. There was even a Flaming Winged Bird that appeared in the Imperial City.
These Flaming Winged Birds had devastated thousands of people, and there were even many experts that had fallen because of them.
Fortunately, there weren't many of them, otherwise how could the Ice Peak Country deal with them?
On this day, the emperor once again summoned all of the experts to the central hall in order to discuss how to deal with these flamingos.
When everyone had arrived, the emperor's gaze was focused on Grandmaster Zong. He then asked, "Grandmaster Zong, do you have any ideas on how to deal with this?"
"Your Majesty, these Flamewing Birds can't seem to be killed. Every time they appear, they seem to be completely wiped out. I wonder where they came from." Grandmaster Zong said with a bitter face.
"It's a good thing that all the Flamewing Birds that are slightly weaker don't have the Flaming Winged Bird that Prime Minister He had in his ring earlier. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." Old Daoist He, who had lost an arm.
"These Flamewing Birds all appeared in the vicinity of the Imperial City. They should have come from somewhere. Can we find a place like this to prevent them from appearing?" One of the ministers said.
The official's strength was low, but his words hit the nail on the head.
"We've been considering this method for the past few days, but unfortunately, these Flamewing Birds are extremely difficult to track. Even if we catch them, they'll ignite on their own in an instant and we have no way of dealing with them." Grandmaster Zong said as he spread out his hands.
"No matter what, Grandmaster Zong, you must continue to act this way. No matter what, you must find the source so that these Flame-Winged Birds will not be able to come to our Ice Peak Country again!" The Emperor had a serious expression.
He was very clear about what had happened in the past few days, so he didn't need Master Zong and the others to explain anything.
"Yes sir!" Grandmaster Zong hurriedly responded.
Although it was very difficult, he had no choice but to brace himself and do it.
"Your Majesty, there's a strange person in my hometown. He's good at tracking and might be able to find the place where these Flamewing Birds appeared at!" Suddenly, someone said.
"Hmm, is there really such a person?" The Emperor couldn't help but look at him and ask.
"There really is such a person." That person hastily replied.
"Then why didn't you say that before?" the Emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that even if he comes, he won't be able to find me. When the time comes, you can blame me." That person wiped off his cold sweat.
"Don't worry, even if he doesn't find you when the time comes, I won't blame you." The Emperor said.
"Then I am relieved." The man heaved a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor said, "However, you have to guarantee that he has some ability. Otherwise, you'll be able to avoid death and be unable to escape from death!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. He really has that kind of ability." That person hurriedly said.
Although he said that, cold sweat broke out on his back. This was because even he himself did not have the ability to see that person with his own eyes.
"Looking at Lord Xu's appearance, that person might be truly capable, but right now, he isn't going to face an ordinary vicious beast. He's going to face a Flaming Winged Bird instead." The nearby Grandmaster Zong stared at Lord Xu as he spoke.
These words caused Lord Xu to break out in a cold sweat.
Right now, he could only pray that the person he would find would have the ability to do so.
"In that case, Master Xu, please find that person." The Emperor immediately said.
"Finding that person is easy, but that person is extremely arrogant. I'm afraid that even with my status, I wouldn't be able to invite him. Therefore, I hope that His Majesty can send an expert who can activate the rank 6 Ice Talisman." Lord Xu said.
"Who is he? Does he dare to disobey His Majesty's orders?" Some people could not help but speak coldly when they heard his words.
However, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, Grandmaster Zong, you can send someone to go with Lord Xu."
"Old He, you will go with Lord Xu." Grandmaster Zong immediately looked at Old He, who had lost an arm.
"Yes." Elder He replied.
"You can leave now, go and return quickly!" The emperor ordered directly.
Following that, Old He followed Lady Xu and left the Imperial City, heading straight for the east side of the Ice Mountain Kingdom.
In about three days, they arrived at the eastern border of Ice Peak Country, at the foot of a tall mountain.
"This mountain is the Da Shang Mountain, and that mysterious person is within the mountain. His surname is Wang Tong Tian." A middle-aged man beside the two of them said.
This middle-aged man was a nearby magistrate, and was very familiar with the surroundings. Upon hearing that Lord Xu and Old He had come looking for Wang Tongtian, the magistrate hurriedly called for the Grand Master to come along with them.
"Wang Tongtian, tsk tsk, truly arrogant!" Elder He couldn't help but sneer.
"It is said that the reason why he is good at tracking is because he has raised a wild wolf with a sharp nose. That wild wolf's entire body is pitch black, and he named it Night." The Grand Master continued.
"So that's how it is." Old He nodded.
After explaining everything, they stayed where they were and had some people search for Wang Tongtian in this mountain.
This Grand Master didn't come alone, but had brought a lot of people with him, so there was no need for them to personally search for him.
