It was almost evening and the atmosphere was strangely quiet. Maybe it was too quiet, which made people shiver. Even Lin Feng, who was there, had the feeling that a cold Qi was coming from his back. It was as if the spirits of the dead were watching him at all times. That feeling was unbearable.
Lin Feng observed the wind around him and closed his eyes. He felt that the flow of air around him was a little strange as if it had unconsciously changed its direction. To put it bluntly, someone was lying in ambush nearby.
"Senior, can you feel if there's something wrong with this air flow?" Lin Feng transmitted his voice to Old Man Zu Ti and asked the latter about the air flow. The old man had a unique insight.
For a long time, the ring remained silent. Nobody said anything, but Lin Feng was becoming more and more certain that there were people lying in ambush. It was just that it was pitch-black in the forest, it would be difficult to find those people hiding in ambush.
"Be careful!"
Old Man Zu Ti shouted with a very solemn tone and a lot of vigilance. His strength was only at the Middle Venerable Rank and Upper Ultimate God level, so he could not help Lin Feng much. He could only try his best to warn Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's mood suddenly became solemn after listening to the old man's reminder. He looked around vigilantly, but soon, Lin Feng's expression became very calm. He did not look around and found a relatively large empty ground to sit down.
"I wonder where Fa Xuan is. Where should I go to save him?"
"The Empire's decision is also stupid. They let me risk my life to be the vanguard. Isn't it because they think I'm stupid?"
"Damn it, I won't do it. I'll sleep here. Let's see who cares!"
Shouted Lin Feng furiously. He raised his foot and the stone was sent flying. After that, Lin Feng pretended to be furious and lied down on the ground. What he didn't know was that a few thousand meters away from him, a man's head was swollen and he was bleeding profusely.
The man covered his head and held the stone that had suddenly been kicked at him. He looked very angry, but the leader kept giving him a meaningful look, which made him a little depressed. He couldn't expose his position. He had to capture the people sent by the Faran Empire without anyone noticing.
"I have to say that the Taiqing Sect's aura-shielding thing is really useful." A disciple muttered softly as he smiled at the captain beside him.
Said the captain in a dignified and cautious way. He was observing Lin Feng's facial expression. When he saw that Lin Feng was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up for a long time, he felt relieved.
"Don't speak. If we're discovered, all our previous efforts will go to waste. The empire wants us to go all out to take over the border, and that's because there's something beneath the border that the empire values."
"Don't talk anymore. Focus on your work. It's late at night. Go and see him." Said the man while pointing at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had been pretending to be asleep. Besides, his Qi was much weaker than before in order to avoid being discovered by the people hiding in the forest. Since they didn't want to come out, Lin Feng had to take the initiative to lure them out. He was convinced that they wouldn't disappoint him and would take him to the place he wanted to go.
Time passed little by little. When it was late at night, the entire forest became even more gloomy and dark without any light. At that time, a group of men in black and green robes gradually appeared from the forest and slowly walked to the side of the 'sleeping' Lin Feng.
The leader looked at Lin Feng vigilantly. However, Lin Feng didn't make any sound other than sleeping soundly. Moreover, Lin Feng's appearance had unknowingly changed. His figure remained the same, but his appearance was very ugly. He belonged to the kind of person that people wouldn't want to take a second look at.
"What's his strength?" A man asked the captain in a deep voice.
The captain carefully examined Lin Feng and finally shook his head lightly. "He's just a Lower Ultimate God. It seems that he's really cannon fodder."
"He's just a Lower Ultimate God. Why don't we just kill him?" The man next to him suggested to the captain in front of him with a hint of sarcasm and ridicule on his face.
Lin Feng listened to the man's suggestion and cursed in his heart. This man was really ruthless. A Lower Ultimate God wanted to kill someone. Had a Lower Ultimate God fallen to the point of being looked down upon?
"Let's keep him. He might be useful. Knock him out and let's go." The captain thought for a while and shook his head. He didn't listen to the man's suggestion as it might be useful.
The others nodded in agreement after listening to the captain's words. The man had no choice but to nod. However, he took a step forward and grinned. "I'll knock him out."
"Don't kill him." The captain looked at the man worriedly and could not help but remind him in a deep voice.
"I won't. I'll be gentle." The man grinned and stretched out his fist with a hint of excitement on his face. Finally, with a loud bang, he hit Lin Feng's head hard. Lin Feng's head tilted slightly, indicating that he had passed out.
The man clapped his hands proudly and smiled at the captain behind him. "It's done. We can go now."
"You're really violent." The others looked at the man and felt a chill run down their spines. If they were resting and the man did the same to them, they would be half-dead. They didn't know what would happen to the man and whether he would die or not.
The captain glanced at the fainted Lin Feng and finally glanced at his two subordinates before letting them carry Lin Feng out of the forest.
Lin Feng's thoughts were very clear throughout the whole process, including the arrogant man who took the initiative to knock him out. Lin Feng was also very clear that a mere Intermediate Ultimate God could not do anything to him even if he used all his strength. He was just unhappy with the man's ruthlessness. If he had the chance, he would teach the man a lesson.
Lin Feng did not know where they were taking him, but no matter where it was, it must be the place where they were restraining the Third Prince, Fa Xuan. There was no doubt about that.
Fa Xuan was already under the control of the Sunlight Empire and they were prepared to use Fa Xuan as a captive in exchange for more than a thousand miles of land. However, when the Sunlight Empire found out where Fa Xuan was in the Faran Empire, they immediately fell silent. Perhaps they should blame their bad luck for capturing such a prince and not the First Prince.
If the First Prince was here, the Faran Empire would probably choose to cut off more than a thousand miles of land from the border.
After passing through the forest for a few hundred miles, there was a slightly uneven mountain ridge in front of them. There were a few deep caves under the mountain ridge. Those people carried Lin Feng into the caves.
After entering the caves, those people put Lin Feng down, or rather, threw him into the crowd. Lin Feng's body made a loud thud which made Lin Feng grimace. These people were really violent.
Lin Feng opened his eyes and looked at the dark cave in front of him. There were already many people sitting around him. These people were more or less injured, but everyone's expression was relatively firm. There was a sharp spirit in their eyes. This was definitely the spirit of a veteran.
He had seen this kind of spirit in the eyes of his father-in-law Liu Fei's father, General Liu, a few hundred years ago. He had seen it in the eyes of many of his deputies.
It was impossible for the Faran Empire to have so many loyal soldiers. Therefore, Lin Feng guessed that they were the third prince's subordinates. Lin Feng could understand why the third prince had lost his mind when he saw his subordinates die in such a horrible way.
If Lin Feng had such subordinates, he would have been even more irrational than Fa Xuan. Those were his old friends who had followed him for so many years, how could they have lost their minds just because they hadn't been paid for a few months?
"It seems like Fa Xuan is also scheming, he is scheming based on what Fa Chun did. As expected, the Imperial Clan isn't that simple." Lin Feng was thinking about it but he didn't regret his decision. He supported Fa Xuan because of Yan Ran Xue. If worse came to worst, he could just show his cards to Fa Xuan.
"If they had such a group of loyal soldiers, Fa Xuan wouldn't have been defeated so easily, right?"
When Lin Feng thought about that, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. If Fa Chun had led a thousand strong cultivators and been defeated, Lin Feng wouldn't have doubted it at all. But Fa Xuan's subordinates were so good at training and they weren't afraid of death. How could they have been captured by the Sun Empire so easily?
It seemed like everything was a secret. Suddenly, Lin Feng was covered in a cold sweat. He hadn't even dared to think about it. Had Fa Xuan joined hands with the Sun Empire? Could there be some kind of agreement with the Sunlight Empire?
When Lin Feng thought about that, he was scared. If that was the case, Fa Xuan had been the smartest person in the world. The Emperor of the Faran Empire had never been a father, so he had abused his mother and Lin Feng. That was the most simple and smart thing to do.
But if he had really done that, it wasn't hard to imagine that Fa Xuan would be even more difficult to deal with than Fa Chun and Fa Yin. His patience and acting skills were incredible. Lin Feng had almost been fooled by him. The funny thing was that Lin Feng had been wholeheartedly trying to help Fa Xuan, but now it seemed like Fa Xuan had even tricked him.
When Lin Feng thought about that, his facial expression became solemn and complicated. But no matter what, he had come to save Fa Xuan, so he had to go back to the Faran Empire. Lin Feng had said that he would go back to the Faran Empire within three days, so he had to save Fa Xuan in two days.
