As the old lady spoke, a yearning smile appeared on her face. Lin Ray did not stop her. Now that Fan Jun had been found, and they were of no use to him, even if he released them, it would not be a big deal.
Moreover, to the old lady, Lin Ray was still the same. He would be able to get what he wanted.
He turned around and walked to the door. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "You have twelve years of lifespan, and Wang Xiangguo has eleven years left. During this time, you should be able to live a good life and fulfill your wish!"
With that, Lin Ray did not continue. He stepped out of the room and walked into the distance.
In the room, when she heard Linley's words, hot tears flowed down from the old lady's eyes.
"Thank you."
"Thank you for telling me all this." As she spoke, the old woman bowed respectfully towards the direction Linley had left in.
Regarding this, Linley was very clear about what was happening in the room, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You'll have to rely on yourself for the next few days." He muttered to himself and walked out of the Prime Minister's residence.
Ouyang Zheng and the others had been waiting in front of the door. The moment they saw Lin Ray walk out, they all went up to him.
"Young Master (Brother Lei)."
Looking at them, Lin Ray nodded. His gaze fell on Fan Jun. He had already recovered, but he was still weak due to the loss of blood.
"Ouyang Zheng, send Fan Jun back. After that, wait in the Emperor's Equal Prince's residence. Wait for the right time to act."
"As the former head of the family, I believe you can add fuel to the fire and help Li Zhiping achieve unification."
"Uh … I …" Ouyang Zheng smiled awkwardly. Indeed, as the former head of the family, if he did not have the ability to survive in a place like Sea City, how could the Ouyang family become one of the few great family heads?
"Remember, after completing the mission, immediately leave. Wait outside the capital for my return. At that time, we can return to the Holy World."
Hearing this, Ouyang Zheng nodded and bowed. "I will remember, Young Master."
"This subordinate will definitely complete the mission you gave me."
"En!"
He waved his hand and let Ouyang Zheng leave with Fan Jun.
Only the Scarlet Flame Tiger, Zhong Li, and him were left in the field.
Now, the matter had basically been resolved. His gaze landed on Zhong Li. Regarding the Netherworld, he still had to rely on her. After all, he … did not know the way to the Netherworld.
Zhong Li was also a smart person. When he saw Lin Ray's gaze, he subconsciously understood and said, "Senior, this junior is very honored to lead the way for you."
Looking at her, Lin Ray smiled and nodded.
"Little Tiger, let's go. Let's go to the Underworld and see how strong the cultivators here are."
"Awoo!"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger, who had been impatient for a long time, growled and nodded. "Brother Lei, we should have gone a long time ago. Living in such a comfortable environment every day, I'm almost bored to death."
As he spoke, the Scarlet Flame Tiger grumbled. Lin Ray wasn't dissatisfied with this at all. On the contrary, he felt that the Scarlet Flame Tiger was right.
As a cultivator, he was supposed to go against the heavens. If he didn't advance, he would fall behind. Cultivators should live with the kind of experience that accompanied killing and lingered on the edge of life and death. Only then could they comprehend a higher level of cultivation and stimulate their own potential, thus improving their Great Dao perfectly.
However, since coming to the Empty Nether Territory, not to mention opponents, it was rare to see a cultivator. Happy was a small cultivator who hadn't reached the Golden Core Realm. Lin Ray couldn't help but feel very disappointed.
Even in the Dharma Ending Age of Aqua Blue Planet, there was a group of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who could transcend the tribulation. However, here …
"Let's go!"
With that, Lin Ray came to the back of the Scarlet Flame Tiger. Lin Ray also wrapped Zhong Li with his Spirit Qi and threw her into the air.
With Zhong Li leading the way, Lin Ray wasn't worried at all. Of course, his biggest confidence was that he had recovered his cultivation and improved it to the peak of the Dao Fruit Realm.
Given his current level of power, even if he were to encounter a powerful demonic beast, Linley would definitely be able to kill it.
Not to mention this Empty Nether Territory.
In the Emperor's Equal Mansion, Ouyang Zheng brought Fan Jun to the room he had stayed in before. He stopped him and reminded him, "Remember your mission. You must provoke a battle between the Emperor and the Emperor."
Don't look at how Fan Jun was just a commander. His position in the Prince's Mansion was still very important.
Fan Jun nodded. "Understood. I will definitely complete the mission given by Master."
"Okay!"
"Alright. In that case, you can stay here. I'll leave first!" After saying that, without waiting for Fan Jun's response, he turned around and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was tens of thousands of meters high in the sky, sitting quietly.
In the room, looking at the furniture that had not changed at all, a smile flashed across his face.
"It seems that Aunt Meng often comes to help clean?" There was no dust in the room. He didn't need to think to know who was helping him clean.
Of course, when he thought of Aunt Meng's feelings for Li Zhiping, his originally high mood instantly fell into the abyss.
"Forget it. The most important task is still to complete the mission given by Zhu Teng." With that thought, he got up and walked out of the room.
As a commander in the past, he still had his own subordinates and army.
Although these troops belonged to the Emperor's Equal Mansion, they still listened to his orders.
This time, he was going to bring this army to create chaos in the capital. This time, he was going to make the Emperor's Equal Mansion go to war with the Emperor.
He believed that as long as he stirred things up, he would definitely be able to achieve his goal.
Of course, this was only a last resort. After all, if he did so, he might lose his life because of this.
"Sigh!"
With a sigh, he sped up and quickly left the city. He came to a military camp not far away from the city. This was the army of the Emperor's Equal Mansion. Similarly, it was also the army he had once led.
At the entrance of the military camp, six soldiers stood on both sides. They were very straight. Although the sun was high in the sky and they were wearing armor, they were still fearless.
"You are …"
"Commander Fan?"
When Fan Jun arrived, the moment the six soldiers saw Fan Jun, they were stunned. One of the youngest soldiers called out Fan Jun's identity with a doubtful expression.
"Commander Fan?"
The young soldier's words pulled the other five soldiers back to reality. They looked at Fan Jun in disbelief. They had all heard about Fan Jun being imprisoned.
Breaking into the palace alone and assassinating the Emperor of Hong Tian. What kind of crime was that? They had heard that he was imprisoned by the Emperor. But now …
While everyone was doubting him, Fan Jun came in front of them and looked at them. He smiled and said, "You guys, I have only been away for a while. Why? Have you forgotten about me?"
Hearing this, the six of them scratched their heads awkwardly. Indeed, they used to drink together often. However, they had heard about Fan Jun's situation. Now that they saw him in person, they found it unbelievable.
"Alright."
Looking at the six of them, Fan Jun couldn't help but smile. He waved at them and said, "Let's talk later. I am here for an important matter."
As he spoke, he stepped into the military camp without waiting for them to speak.
"Why did this guy come out? Didn't we hear that he was imprisoned by the Emperor?"
"I don't know. But since he can come out, it means that the Emperor has gotten over him!"
"That's impossible! He tried to assassinate the Emperor. He is not a profligate son of the royal capital. How could the Emperor release him so easily? "
The six of them looked at each other. In the end, they didn't get a good answer and chose to remain silent. After all, this wasn't something they should be discussing. Their job was to guard the entrance of the military camp. That was all.
In the military camp, Fan Jun arrived at the commander's tent with ease. Along the way, he met familiar people and naturally greeted them warmly.
The moment he entered the commander's tent, he saw the person sitting on the commander's seat.
"Aunt Meng?"
"Hm?"
Aunt Meng, who was working with her head lowered, heard the familiar voice and looked up. When she saw Fan Jun, she froze on the spot.
Aunt Meng's eyes were filled with confusion and surprise. Others might not know, but as a retainer of the Emperor's Residence, she naturally knew.
Not long ago, Fan Jun used Unknown Direction. At that time, the Emperor's Residence even sent out secret guards to search for him. However, they found nothing.
But now? This fellow appeared on his own. Furthermore, he appeared in the military camp in uniform. What was he doing?
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Fan Jun joked when he saw Aunt Meng in a daze. Then, he walked over and sat across from Aunt Meng. Then, he reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, pouring himself a cup of tea.
"You …"
Aunt Meng recovered her senses and looked at Fan Jun. She felt that this was somewhat unreal. A person who disappeared for a few months suddenly appeared. There was no news of him for the past few months. Even the Emperor's Residence didn't know where he went. Now, he suddenly appeared. How was she supposed to deal with this?
"Hah!"
Xiao Chen understood what Aunt Meng meant. However, he did not explain too much about it. After all, there was no need to. Although he knew that Aunt Meng knew about Lin Ray and Ouyang Zhen's existence …
"Aunt Meng, I've troubled you to clean my room during this period. However …" As Xiao Chen spoke, his expression suddenly turned serious. "This time, I have something important to do."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf at the side. He reached out and opened the small wooden box on the bookshelf. Then, he took out a tiger head token and turned around, intending to leave.
"What are you doing?"
The moment Xiao Chen turned around, Aunt Meng's voice rang out in the tent. If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear the worry in Aunt Meng's voice.
Unfortunately, Fan Jun was focused on completing Ouyang Zhen's mission. Hence, he did not notice the worry in her voice.
Without turning around, Xiao Chen replied in a low voice, "Killing people."
"Since Your Highness is not making a decision, as your subordinate, I naturally have to help Your Highness wake up."
"You …" Aunt Meng was shocked. She understood that her thoughts were correct. Fan Jun was really going to do that.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the worried Aunt Meng. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Don't worry. This time, I will make Your Highness realize that the Hong Clan is not suitable to be the Emperor of Hong Tian.
"After being in power for so long, their insides have completely rotted. It is time for a change."
As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked out of the tent, leaving behind a stunned Aunt Meng.
Outside the tent, Fan Jun came to the Soldier Roll Call Platform. He had made many important decisions here. Now that he stepped on it again, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and looked at the tiger head token. His eyes were filled with determination. He raised his head and looked at the soldiers who were training. "Gather!"
"Rumble!"
Once the order was given, all the soldiers, regardless of whether they were training or resting, came to the Soldier Roll Call Platform at the fastest speed. They stood still in silence and waited for the commander's order.
The entire process took less than two minutes. Fan Jun was quite satisfied with this speed. After all, 30,000 people were definitely not a small force.
Looking at the orderly and energetic soldiers, Xiao Chen raised his hand and flashed the tiger head token. He said, "Next, my orders are greater than the heavens. Therefore, the first mission I will give you is to march into the capital."
"What?"
"This …"
Just as Fan Jun finished speaking, all the commanders were speechless. They looked at each other.
Marching into the capital was not a small matter. If there was an order from above, it might not be a big deal. However, if they acted on their own, it would be considered a rebellion. If someone obtained the throne, this crime would be a great crime that would implicate their entire family.
Hearing the discussions of the people below, Fan Jun's face turned gloomy. When he was on the throne, military discipline was strict. How could such a situation occur? However, it was different now.
"All of you, shut up. I haven't seen you for a while. Are you itching for a beating?"
Hearing this, the discussions below stopped. Looking at Fan Jun's angry gaze, the 30,000 people lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
"Hmph, look at how spoiled you are!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Fan Jun continued, "In short, listen to me. If you succeed, you will be promoted. If you fail, you won't have lived in vain."
"Of course, this time, I am not asking you to enter the palace. I just want to teach the officials and generals in the capital a lesson."
"They have been living too comfortably and have forgotten the hardships they went through when the Hongtian Empire was first established."
"Furthermore …"
At this point, Fan Jun paused for a moment before continuing, "His Highness is famous. He is more suitable to be the Emperor of the Hongtian Empire."
Hearing this, the expressions of the people below changed. Indeed, everyone agreed with Fan Jun's words. They had had enough of Hong Zhi's anger.
However, Li Zhiping had been tolerating it. Until now, everyone was still being bullied and unable to stand out.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fan Jun did not waste any more words. "The command seal is here. You will be under my command. Next, all soldiers, march into the capital."
At this moment, in a corner not far away, Aunt Meng saw everything that Fan Jun did. Without thinking much, she wrote a letter and reported the situation to Li Zhiping for him to make the decision.
Ten thousand meters up in the air, everything Fan Jun was doing was within Ouyang Zheng's field of vision. He didn't try to stop Fan Jun, because this was the only way he could complete the mission Linley had given him more quickly.
"Go ahead. Next, the entire capital is your territory. If anyone tries to stop you, I don't mind helping to settle it!"
