"Yu Wentai, what serious matter has occurred that has caused the Court’s troops to be suddenly dispatched in such numbers?"

The Imperial Censor’s expression was urgent at this moment, his heart seemed ablaze.

In the noisy military camp, he shouted to Lin Feng: "A major crisis has arisen! The structure within the Court has changed, the Count of Yunzhou has rebelled. With a hundred thousand troops, he has taken control of over ten provinces within Yuhua City. The Emperor is furious and has ordered us to rush back to the Capital to assemble an army to defeat the traitors!"

Hearing such news, Lin Feng felt his mind was in turmoil. With formidable enemies watching from the north, now the Court faces internal chaos! How can this be handled, is the Human Realm truly on the verge of doom?

Lin Feng would never allow such a thing to happen, but the safety of Peace City still requires his protection. Since the world is already in turmoil, Lin Feng must focus even more on his duties.

The Imperial Censor saw Lin Feng hesitate and said: "Brother Lin is the hero of our era, why not join me in the Court to establish some achievements. Rather than live out your days in this desolate place, why not create success and make a name for yourself. Such an opportunity should not be missed, or you will regret it later..."

While speaking, the Imperial Censor held Lin Feng’s hand, speaking earnestly and sincerely.

Although Lin Feng was somewhat tempted, he ultimately adhered to his true intentions.

"I, Lin Feng, wish only to teach and nurture, living a peaceful life is enough. Those grand enterprises of fame and fortune are suitable for someone with your talents."

The Imperial Censor, seeing Lin Feng decline, shook his head in indignation. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Ah, Brother Lin insists on this, so I won’t force it. But after I leave, you must watch over Peace City for me. Once I return victoriously, we will drink until we can’t return."

After speaking, Yu Wentai mounted a tall horse and led the army out of Peace City.

Lin Feng thought they would all leave, but unexpectedly only the Imperial Censor led over a thousand troops toward the Capital, leaving behind Armored Soldiers and over a thousand troops of the Court, while Lin Feng’s original thousand troops were also left behind.

The Imperial Censor was headed to rally troops from various military posts along the way. By the time they reach the Capital, they should have nearly fifty thousand men.

Seeing the chaos within the Court, Lin Feng and the Armored Soldiers had no disputes anymore. Faced with great danger, people choose to live peacefully, as a fight to the death yields no benefits.

After the Imperial Censor left, Lin Feng saluted the Armored Soldiers.

The Armored Soldiers saw Lin Feng about to leave, immediately calling him back.

"Please stay."

Lin Feng turned around, politely addressing the Armored Soldier: "What instructions might the officer have? I am willing to serve."

The Armored Soldier smiled humbly at Lin Feng, saying: "Apologies for my previous boldness, I hope brother won’t mind."

Lin Feng exhaled softly, saying: "What the officer said, it was all just play from the Imperial Censor. It’s most appropriate for you to take on the responsibility of Peace City."

Seeing Lin Feng speak this way, the Armored Soldier no longer hesitated and responded confidently: "Since the gentleman said so, I’ll take it on."

"Indeed, indeed."

Then Lin Feng left the training grounds.

Lin Feng quickly returned to Wu Fa’s home, where Wu Fa had prepared a good meal.

As Lin Feng arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Wu Tian from afar, holding a lunchbox.

"Where are you going?"

"You’re just in time, come with me to drink and chat with the Imperial Censor."

Lin Feng heard Wu Tian’s words and thought Wu Tian might not know that the Imperial Censor had already left.

Lin Feng smiled and said to Wu Fa: "The Imperial Censor has already gone back to the Capital."

Clearly, Wu Tian couldn’t believe Lin Feng’s words, he asked urgently: "Is this true? Does this mean we can resume our military duties?"

Lin Feng looked at Wu Fa’s happy demeanor, he was somewhat helpless.

"The Mortal World faces a great peril; we cannot prioritize our own interests over the bigger picture."

Wu Fa didn’t understand and asked again: "What’s wrong? Are there people still here?"

Lin Feng nodded at Wu Tian and continued: "The Armored Soldiers along with their thousand troops plus our initial thousand troops are now evenly matched. But unless we unite and guard the northern border, if strong enemies invade, the Human Realm will be in danger."

"Ah, very well then. Although I’ve not managed city defenses for years, now that I’ve just touched the reins, I have to let it go again. As long as they govern well, does it matter who manages Peace City?"

Lin Feng knew that Wu Fa felt at a loss, but for the sake of the bigger picture, this was necessary. Lin Feng then turned to Wu Fa’s hall regarding the Star Furnace.

"I asked you to investigate the fragments of the Star Furnace, how is the investigation going?"

Hearing Lin Feng’s earnest inquiry, Wu Fa replied: "Regarding the fragments of the Star Furnace, I sent scouts a while ago to gather information, and equipped them with the Spirit Communication Cloak for concealment. Judging by the time, it should be about time for their return."

Lin Feng, reassured by Wu Fa’s report, appeared much more composed. One day, when he was driving the Star Furnace, he spoke a few words, unexpectedly the stubborn furnace exploded.

Reflecting on this, Lin Feng felt helpless.

Since Wu Fa had prepared a fine meal, Lin Feng couldn’t be wasteful.
