While the imperial army was resting, Lin Yun once again went to the Xue Yan Emperor to ask about Mu Feng.
Mu Feng was originally a lieutenant general of the Xue Yan Empire. Ten years ago, he was convicted of treason and was executed by the Xue Yan Emperor.
Mu Feng received the news in advance and escaped with his immediate family. But he was chased by the imperial army and only Mu Feng managed to escape alive. He then disappeared from the face of the earth and was never heard from again.
It was only after the incident that the Xue Yan Emperor found out that Mu Feng's treason was actually because he was framed by a traitor. It was too late for regrets. It was also because of the real reason that the Li Fire Sect was planted.
"Do you know what happened to Mu Feng after he escaped?" Lin Yun asked the Xue Yan Emperor.
The Xue Yan Emperor thought about it and said, "I'm not too sure, but according to his description, he seemed to have met a mysterious person. He called that mysterious person 'God'."
"It was this mysterious person that he called 'God' that gave him cultivation and power, allowing him to establish the Li Fire Sect."
"How much do you know about this mysterious person?" Lin Yun continued to ask.
The Xue Yan Emperor shook his head and said, "I don't know anything."
Lin Yun did not ask any more questions. The mysterious person had never shown himself and only appeared in the memories of his followers. He was much more mysterious than Ouyang Xiu, so it was normal that the Xue Yan Emperor did not know about him.
Time passed by minute by minute. The sun that was hanging high in the sky quickly set below the mountain.
As dusk approached, Lin Yun saw that it was about time and informed the Xue Yan Emperor to mobilize his army.
With an order from the Snow Yan Emperor, the vast army of the empire began to march towards the capital like the tide.
Just as Lin Yun expected, the battle between the three forces had already ended, leaving behind a shocking mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The control of the capital fell into the hands of the Assassins Guild.
The Assassins Guild defeated the Li Fire Sect and at the same time repelled the rebel army, taking over the imperial palace and the capital.
The citizens of the capital all thought that the Emperor had abandoned them and were forced to submit to the Assassins Guild.
After the imperial army killed their way into the capital, they killed their way into the imperial palace.
As soon as the imperial army charged into the palace, they were ambushed by the assassins.
Apparently, the assassins had long since anticipated that the imperial army would return and set up an ambush in the palace.
There weren't many people in the Assassination Society, only a few hundred assassins. They were like a drop in the ocean in front of the empire's army of hundreds of thousands.
However, every assassin in the Assassination Guild was at least a Martial Master. He was able to fight against an army of thousands of men and horses with his own strength.
Furthermore, the assassins of the Assassination Guild had basically all awakened their Martial Souls. Those martial spirits had all sorts of strange abilities, and some of them could even complement each other, allowing them to display unexpected effects.
For example, one of the assassins had the ability to create a barrier in a specific area.
The other assassin's Martial Soul could extract the air within a designated area, forming an absolute vacuum.
The combination of the abilities of these two killers caused tens of thousands of people to suffocate to death.
There was even an assassin's martial soul that could control a corpse that had just died. At most, he could control tens of thousands of corpses to form a terrifying undead army.
Under the effects of those strange martial soul abilities, the empire's army was quickly defeated. In the blink of an eye, they suffered heavy casualties.
If they continued fighting like this, it wouldn't be long before the empire's army of hundreds of thousands would be completely annihilated.
At that time, if the empire wanted to recapture the imperial capital, they would have to call back the three million border guards stationed at the fortress at the border.
The empire's territory was so huge. Who knew how long it would take to call back the three million border guards. By that time, it would be too late.
Just as the empire's army was about to collapse, two figures suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the tall city walls.
One figure was glowing red, like a piece of red-hot iron.
The other figure was completely blue, with blue lightning coiling around it.
These two people were Lin Yun in the second form of the Demon God Core Crystal, and Prince Namgong in the Battle Qilin form.
After the two of them entered the battlefield, they were like two unstoppable torrents. Everywhere they went, the assassins of the Assassination Society were crushed like tofu.
The assassins who created the barrier, the assassins who extracted the air, and the assassins who controlled the corpses were all killed by Lin Yun.
After those troublesome assassins were killed, the pressure on the empire's army was instantly reduced.
The higher ups and top assassins of the Assassination Society quickly focused their attacks on Lin Yun and Prince Namgong.
For a time, all sorts of dazzling attacks filled the sky, continuously bombarding Lin Yun and Prince Namgong.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yun immediately took out the Demon Slaying Sword and used the World Exterminating God Sword Technique. With one slash, he killed the higher ups of the Assassination Society one by one.
Prince Namgong followed closely behind, killing off the top ranked assassins of the Assassination Society.
Immediately after, an abnormally powerful aura suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield.
A middle-aged man with a head full of golden hair suddenly descended in front of Lin Yun. He was the branch leader of the Assassination Society.
The cultivation of this branch leader was the same as the branch leader of the Southeast region. They were both at the ninth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm.
With Lin Yun's current strength, enemies below Wu Huang's realm basically did not need to use the third form of the Demon God's Nucleus Crystal.
Lin Yun immediately summoned the Demon God's Sword and infused a large amount of golden light onto the Demon Slaying Sword.
The branch leader did not delay either. He immediately activated his essence to condense his Martial Spirit — a huge dragon with nine heads.
The wingspan and body length of these nine huge dragons exceeded fifty meters. They were slightly larger than the strange creatures that Lin Yun had encountered before. Its surface released a dazzling golden light. It was obvious that it was also a Heaven level Martial Spirit.
After the nine huge dragons were formed, they roared and pounced towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun raised the Demon Slaying Sword and slashed down vertically, releasing a vertical Sword Qi that was a hundred meters tall. It slashed towards the nine huge dragons with the power to split heaven and earth.
The Sword Qi directly split the nine huge dragons in half. Then, it split the entire palace and the entire imperial capital into two halves. A huge abyss appeared on the ground as far as the eye could see.
After the nine huge dragons were split in half, they actually separated into two independent bodies. Both of them had shrunk to half their original size. One of them had four heads, while the other had five.
The two huge dragons flew in front of Lin Yun unhindered. At the same time, they attacked Lin Yun, smashing the city wall where Lin Yun was at into pieces.
Before that, Lin Yun had already distanced himself from the city wall and avoided their attacks.
Lin Yun landed on an empty ground. He held his sword with one hand and stared coldly at the two huge dragons.
