The next day, as the sunrise illuminated the world of cultivators, Lin Feng and the others instantly continued their journey to return to the imperial capital, they all did not want to delay their journey anymore, either, because the time they needed to get to the imperial capital was still very long.
Not to mention the enemies who will block their journey, of course the time they need to arrive at the imperial capital will be longer, in fact they could have saved time by flying on an ice eagle, but this is not possible, because ice eagles cannot carry them all together.
"Teacher, how much longer will it take us to get to the imperial capital?" asked Lin Tian.
"If our journey had not been blocked by the Assassins, it might have only taken one week more, but it seems unlikely, because the Assassins would still be aiming for the empress" Elder Liu Changhai replied.
"It's really a long journey, if only there was a shortcut, maybe we could get there faster" said Lin Tian.
"There are no shortcuts to getting to the imperial capital, have you not complained, aren't you glad that you can linger with the princess?" ask elder Liu Changhai.
Lin Tian laughed awkwardly at his teacher's question, while scratching his non-itchy head, Lin Tian replied. "Ha ha ha, ma'am - not like that teacher, I only think of the emperor's majesty, I'm sure now he's worried about thinking about his wife and children."
Elder Liu Changhai just shook his head slowly, he really did not expect that his disciple would come into contact with a princess, the son of a highly regarded emperor, even though the empress seemed ordinary, even though the empress seemed ordinary, yet no one could figure out how the emperor responded with their relationship.

Elsewhere, in a wilderness far away from the imperial capital, a man wearing a worn-out robe and a head covering, he was standing quietly in front of hundreds of monsters and Beast Spirits that were seen bowing before him.
The mysterious man then took out a large enough crystal ball from his storage ring, and the mysterious man poured his Qi into the crystal ball to make it glow, the monsters and Beast Spirits that were originally calm, instantly showed a strange reaction as the crystal bole glowed.
"Although the Dragon Spirit Beast and Phoenix cannot get me, but with this much army alone is enough, now there will be no more that can defeat me, it will not be long, the empire will soon fall into my hands and after that the world will also bow before me" said the mysterious man.
Not long after, an Assassin came to the mysterious man, the appearance of the Assassin looked different from the others, even his aura felt very large when compared to other Assassins, and his appearance was very different, it certainly shows that the Assassin is not an indiscriminate Assassin.
"What's wrong, why did you come bothering me?" ask the mystery man.
"Sorry Your Majesty, I came just to give you a report that the mission has failed, all the Assassins and Beast Spirits that left no one survived" the Assassin replied.
"That's the case I already know, for now just let them return to the imperial capital, because I don't want to lose any more troops, after all, I have to prepare everything from now on" said the mysterious man.
"Okay noble" replied the Assassin.
"One more thing, since you are the chairman of the Assassin Organization, I want you to summon all the Assassins present in the entire imperial territory to come here, as I will give them a gift" said the mysterious man.
"Good noble" said the Assassin then disappeared.
"It's time to wake up" the man murmured then smiled sinisterly.

Several days back passed very quickly, the journey Lin Feng as well as the others headed to the imperial palace was getting closer, besides, their journey was also not delayed anymore, either, because they didn't get any obstruction after encountering the Assassin Aprons a few days ago.
Despite that, elder Liu Changhai still reminded all of them to remain vigilant and cautious, however, because according to him the calm feels very strange and the enemy could have deliberately made them feel safe and finally attacked when they were off guard.
"Thank God that there are no more enemies coming, this way we can continue the journey calmly" said Lin Tian.
"Don't be too happy about Tian'er, because enemies can come and attack us at any time, so stay alert even if the atmosphere feels safe" said elder Liu Changhai.
"Good teacher" Lin Tian replied.
"But this atmosphere is indeed very calm teacher, because I do not feel any enemies for a distance of several hundred meters ahead" said Lin Feng.
"It's actually very strange, but we also can't figure out what the enemy is thinking" said elder Liu Changhai.
"Teacher, what about the information we have?" asked Lin Feng.
"The matter of such information will be discussed directly with the emperor's majesty, but before that we must remain silent and do not carelessly talk to others about the information we get." Elder Liu Changhai replied.
"Good teacher, we understand" said Lin Feng and Lin Tian in unison.
"Everyone listen, speed up your horses, because we have to get to the imperial capital as quickly as possible" said elder Liu Changhai.
"Okay elders!" the soldiers said in unison.
They then spurred on the horse to move faster, because now the atmosphere felt very calm and safe, so they had to move as fast as possible in order to get to the imperial capital soon, if they even relax at a time like now, it will be very dangerous for the lives of the empress and her children.
Then to make sure their journey was completely safe, elder Liu Changhai ordered Lin Feng to move without using a horse, so that Lin Feng could ascertain and monitor the path they were about to cross, so that Lin Feng could confirm, because among all of them, only Lin Feng could sense the existence of enemies from a distance, then only Lin Feng could also move quickly.
Lin Feng then jumped off the top of his horse towards one of the tree branches that was nearby, after that Lin Feng immediately shot out at high speed from one tree branch to another, Lin Feng also sharpened his aura, in order to feel the presence of enemies lurking around them.
