While the Imperial Army was resting, Lin Yun found the Yanxue Empire again and asked some questions about Mu Feng.
Mu Feng was a former lieutenant general of the Yanxue Empire. Ten years ago, he was ordered to be executed by Emperor Yanxue for conspiring to rebel.
Mu Feng received the news in advance and fled overnight with his immediate family. However, he was chased by the royal army. In the end, only Mu Feng escaped alive. He disappeared from the world without any news.
It was not until later that Emperor Yanxue learned that Mu Feng's rebellion was actually framed by a traitor, and regretting it would be of no use. It was precisely because of the real reason that the bane of the Lihuo Cult was sown.
"Do you know what happened to Mu Feng after he escaped?" Lin Yun asked Emperor Yanxue.
Emperor Yanxue thought for a while and said: "I don't know very well, but according to his description, he seems to have met a mysterious person, and that mysterious person was called "God" by him."
"It was this mysterious person whom he called 'God' who gave him cultivation and strength, and allowed him to found the Lihuo Sect."
"How much do you know about that mysterious man?" Lin Yun asked again.
Emperor Yanxue shook his head and said: "I don't know at all."
Lin Yun didn't ask any more questions. The mysterious masked man never showed up and only appeared in the memories of his followers. His level of mystery was far higher than that of Ouyang Xiu. It was normal for Emperor Yanxue not to know about it.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sun hanging high in the sky quickly set on the top of the mountain.
Dusk was approaching, and seeing that it was almost time, Lin Yun notified Emperor Yanxue to send out troops.
Emperor Yanxue gave an order, and the mighty imperial army marched towards the imperial capital like a tide.
Sure enough, as Lin Yun expected, the battle between the three forces had ended at this time, leaving only a shocking mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The control of the imperial capital fell into the hands of the Assassination Society.
The Assassination Society defeated the Lihuo Cult, repelled the rebels, and occupied the imperial palace and the entire imperial capital.
The residents in the imperial capital thought that the emperor had abandoned them and were forced to surrender to the assassination society.
When the imperial army entered the imperial capital, they marched all the way to Huanglong and entered the imperial palace.
As soon as the Imperial Army entered the palace, they were ambushed by the Assassination Society.
Obviously, the assassination team had expected that the imperial army would counterattack, so they had already set up an ambush in the palace.
Although the number of assassins in the Assassination Society is small, there are only a few hundred assassins. In front of the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops, they are just like a drop in the ocean.
But every assassin in the Assassination Society has a cultivation level at least above that of a martial artist. They can defeat thousands of troops with one person.
Moreover, the assassins of the Assassination Society have basically awakened martial souls. Those martial souls have various abilities, and some abilities can complement each other, and the combination can produce unexpected effects.
For example, one of the killer's martial soul abilities creates a barrier in a designated area.
The other killer's martial soul ability is to pull out the air in a designated area to form an absolute vacuum.
The combined abilities of these two killers could directly suffocate tens of thousands of people to death.
There is even a killer whose martial soul ability is to control the recently deceased corpses. He can control up to tens of thousands of corpses to form a terrifying undead army.
Under the power of those strange martial arts spirits, the imperial army was quickly beaten to a pulp, and suffered heavy casualties in the blink of an eye.
If we continue to fight like this, I believe that hundreds of thousands of Imperial troops will be wiped out before long.
At that time, if the imperial army wants to retake the imperial capital, it will have to call back the three million border guards stationed at the border fortress.
The empire's land area is so large that if we want to mobilize three million border guards, we will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse, when the day lilies will have already gone cold.
When the imperial army was about to be unable to withstand it, two figures suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the high city wall.
A figure was red and shiny, like a red-hot iron.
A figure is completely blue, with blue lightning wrapped around its body.
These two people were obviously Lin Yun in the second form of the Demonic Core Crystal, and Prince Nangong in the Zhan Qilin form.
After the two entered the battlefield, they were like two unstoppable torrents. Everywhere they went, the assassins of the Assassination Society were crushed like tofu.
The killer who created the barrier, the killer who extracted the air, and the killer who manipulated the corpse were all killed by Lin Yun one after another.
After those killers with difficult abilities were killed, the pressure on the Imperial Army suddenly decreased.
The senior leaders and top killers of the Assassination Society quickly focused their fire on Lin Yun and Prince Nangong to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign.
All of a sudden, all kinds of gorgeous attacks filled the sky, hitting Lin Yun and Prince Nangong one after another.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yun immediately took out the Demon-Slaying Sword and used the World-Destroying Divine Sword Technique to kill a child one by one with one strike, killing several senior members of the Assassination Society one by one.
Prince Nangong also followed closely behind, killing the top killers of the assassination association one after another.
Immediately afterwards, an unusually powerful aura suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield.
A middle-aged man with blond hair suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yun. He was the branch president of the Assassination Society.
The cultivation level of this branch president is the same as that of the branch presidents in the southeast region, which is the ninth-level martial arts realm.
With Lin Yun's current strength, enemies under the Martial Emperor realm basically do not need to use the third form of the Demonic Core Crystal.
Lin Yun directly summoned the Demon God's Sword and blessed the Demon-Slaying Sword with a large amount of golden light.
The branch president didn't hesitate, he directly activated his vitality to condense his martial soul - a giant dragon with nine heads.
The wingspan and body length of this nine-headed dragon exceed fifty meters. It is slightly larger than the strange creatures Lin Yun encountered before. Its surface is glowing with bright golden light, and it is obviously a heaven-level one.
Wuhun.
After the nine-headed dragon was formed, it roared and rushed towards Lin Yunfei.
Lin Yun raised the Demon-Slaying Sword and slashed it vertically, releasing a vertical sword energy that was a hundred meters high, and slashed towards the nine-headed dragon with the force of breaking the world.
The sword energy directly split the nine-headed dragon in half, and then divided the entire palace and the entire imperial capital into two halves, cutting out a huge abyss in the entire land as far as the eye could see.
After the nine-headed dragon was broken in half, it actually separated into two independent individuals. The size of the two individuals was twice as small, one of them had four heads, and the other had five heads.
The two giant dragons flew in front of Lin Yun without any hindrance, and launched an attack on Lin Yun at the same time, directly smashing the city wall where Lin Yun was.
Lin Yun had already stayed away from the city wall to avoid their attacks before that.
Lin Yun landed in an open space, holding a sword in one hand and staring coldly at the two giant dragons.
The next second, the two giant dragons split on their own and separated into nine giant dragons. Each one had only one head, and its size was several times smaller than before.
